Lo-Quality WoW

Way back when, I sat down and forced myself to grind instances to upgrade my Hunter.  Now I find myself trying to do the same with my Warrior and it’s so painfull.  Part of it, is knowing that since I’m trying to upgrade both her Protection and Fury specs means twice the amount of items to upgrade.  And the other part is the fact that I’ve been running with groups with a good to great skill level and being put into PUGs where it’s obvious people are clueless, it just drives me nuts.

Last night I actually was put on to the raid team.  Since nobody had remembered to extend the raid-ID from last week, they started with a “clean” instance.  They had managed to clear the Lower Spire and Festergut, which is the point we started.

I finally got myself into a 10-man Trial of the Crusader last night. Only problem was, I was half asleep when we did it. Fortunately, I didn’t make too many mistakes, especially since it was the first time I saw the majority of those fights. Maybe I should be half-asleep more often on the raids.

Yeah, I’ve been slacking on this blog. It’s easy when this is essentially an exercise in writing for me since I have no audience. And I felt I would just write a long general post covering the past week than trying to split everything out as I usually do.

As is usual in my life, things are just a bit chaotic which then reflects in other areas like this blog. Fortunately, there’s little to no readership so nobody misses anything. This whole blog is generally a conversation with myself but since I’m writing it down instead of speaking out loud, I appear less crazy.

Yup, the new arena season is up but since I don’t really do arena anymore and I haven’t gotten into a trial of the crusader, the big thing this brings up is the new Vault of Archavon boss – Koralon. But before we get to him, here’s a few other things that happened.

A rather short night for my hunter, although that’s become something of a standard lately. I managed to get in my dailies, greatly assisted by the Argent Crusader’s Tabard allowing for a quick port over to the tournament grounds. However, when I tried to get into a Heroic Trial of the Champion, that’s where things took an extremely wrong turn.

One of the guys who I’ve been raiding with had mentioned the other week that he was oddly laggy in certain places ever since the new patch. I’m also having some odd lagging and frame rate issues. For my hunter, the Champions field at the Argent Tournament dropped by frame rate from around 30 to 10 or 12 constantly. This doesn’t happen on my warrior and my hunter is fine doing the daily citadel joust. Drives me absolutely insane.

I spend so much time getting to the point that people think I’m at least decent at the game, that they want to invite me when there’s an open spot, and then nights like last night happen. I finally get into an Ulduar 25 and I spent most of it dead. And I’m also convinced my computer is trying to sabotage me as well, making me look like even further like a noob.

Although I’ve been sort of under the weather for awhile, it was only a few days ago when I began to run a fever. So on Tuesday night I just did a 10 man and a 25 man Vault of Archavon runs, both relatively quick and easy. Emalon is so much easier when everyone pays attention and attacks the overcharged add. For some reason it was a lot of druid gear dropping, but I can live with that. Last night I was just going to log on for a little while to run a daily or two and then go to bed. Naturally, that’s when I got the opportunity to do a 10-man Ulduar run, from the start!
