On Wednesday, Annata prepared.

Clothing was casually purchased in Goldshire, a few herbs in Westfall. She used the extra time to make sure various poisons were ready as well, not that she thought she’d need them, but you could never…

Preparing for Lich King
comment 13 Written by Anna on June 18, 2008 – 9:03 am

So Phaelia posted recently a Blog Azeroth Shared Topic about what each of us happens to be doing in preparation for the upcoming expansion.

Even given my ostritch-like, head-in-sand tendencies when it comes to new expansions, I am doing some things to get ready – and I’m noticing others doing the same.

What have I done?

This post is part one of two about raid communication.  You can read part two here.

Anyone that’s ever worked in a group of any kind knows that communication is absolutely essential. Everyone needs to know who is doing what, when in order for things to run smoothly and for all the jobs to get covered (without having three people do part A and nobody bothering to take care of part C).

This is just as true in World of Warcraft as it is anywhere else – sometimes doubly so. And when you’re in a five man group, that’s not so hard. In vent or in chat, there are only 5 people to coordinate, and you don’t really need any hierarchy over who is talking.

Twisted Nether Blogcast #3 is up – this week the interviewee is The Big Bear Butt Blogger. They used my Druid Got Back reference (The title of the show is “I like bear butts and I cannot lie”). I’ve got another blogger tip on the show as well.

Go listen!

letters Dear Random DPSer:

A record number of deaths does not mean you’re winning. Nobody enjoys having to clear extra trash so we can get to the repair guy, just so you can epeen about your leet DPS on another fight, especially after you’ve trashed all the other classes in chat.

Love,
Anna

P.S. – You might be joking, but nobody else is laughing.

P.P.S – Sorry for the short posts lately folks, lots going on!

The Second Time Around

January 31, 2012 – 7:37 am

I am, officially, strange. Not that this is news to any of you, but I was reminded of it again this week while playing Ana’leth and Annata.

I like content better the second time I complete it. When I’m new…

The People of RaidFinder

January 27, 2012 – 9:09 am

Having done a few RaidFinder groups, I’m starting to notice patterns. Sadly, they’re not really GOOD patterns. For whatever reason, the players who show up, do their jobs, get loot and go on their merry way don’t seem to stick…

There’s No Place Like Home

January 27, 2012 – 7:25 am

I was reading a post the other day from Ask a Jedi, about how his characters in other games had places that felt like “home”, where in Star Wars they kind of didn’t.

It’s a good post, and an…

Brain Heals

January 24, 2012 – 8:11 am

I redid my gems. I re-reforged. I redid my keybinds. I set up clique and totem timers.

And then we went to Firelands.

My first foray as a healer wasn’t horrible though, once I remembered I had Healing Rain (which…

When the writing gets tough…

January 23, 2012 – 7:59 am

I don’t have a witty ending to that statement. But it would probably be something like “… the writer gets a beer.”

Anyway, what happens when you want to be writing, but the ideas won’t come? When you have a…

Form of Healer – ACTIVATE!

January 20, 2012 – 11:04 am

So my as yet nameless raid* is going through another reset cycle. We’ve lost a few people, are raiding on a new night, etc.

One of the people we lost was our paladin healer.

As such, since I like my…

SWTOR Resources (General and RP)

January 20, 2012 – 7:26 am

For my own use as much as anyone else’s:

Wookieepedia – Star Wars Lore Database. Enormous, but good for getting answers to lore questions. Also good for sucking up your afternoon without you noticing.

SWTOR Wikia - Star Wars: The…
