What kind of Pandaren are you planning on playing? Will you be rolling a monk, or some other class? Have you thought at all about an RP idea or a character basis for that character?

I’m kicking around the idea…

Why I hate Daily Quests
comment 4 Written by Anna on March 30, 2008 – 7:51 am

(pardon me while I rant a bit. Regular, sane, well thought out Anna will return in 5 minutes)

soapbox Ok – you’re all probably looking at me funny right now. I know – dailies are how you make MONEY, you say. They funded my epic mount and now I have speedy birdy and all this stuff that I can do so much *faster*, plus I’m like super duper special loved by all these people so they give me cheap repairs, crafting patterns, cookies, and free beer.

(ok, maybe not so much on the free beer…)

Alright. Yeah. They make money. That is one of, if not the sole reason that I, occasionally, do them. (The other reason being reputation, which is really just more farming)

That said, I hate them. With a deep seated fiery passion. In fact, it could be said that I hate them more than I hate farming – which is saying something – even though I end up doing them more often than farming (because farming with a holy priest/resto shaman sucks). Even though most of them are little more than glorified farming…

Anyway – I figure there are a few things that could account for this.

Matticus’ Five Barriers to Raid Healing
comment Comments Off Written by Anna on March 29, 2008 – 8:52 pm

Matticus posted the final chapter of his Five Barriers to Raid Healing – Healing Against Your Will.

It is both eloquent and excellent (as usual) – go read and learn! (The whole series is worth your time to read, I promise. Good stuff that. Also, he just helped me fix an addon problem so he says I owe him blog-space. :p )

And while you’re at it, go check out The Rambling Bear’s 10 Commandments of the Raider.  It should be required reading for any new building raid.  And any raid, really, to keep these things fresh in people’s minds.

complex fight + talkative raid leaders + distracted ventrilo + wut? + lolafk! = fail

Weekday releases kinda suck

May 16, 2012 – 9:11 am

So I’ve had Diablo 3 installed for two days, but I’ve not been able to do more than log in and make characters (saving names as much as anything). Right now Annaleth the Demon Hunter and Anzefi the Witch Doctor…

Where have all the levelers gone?

May 10, 2012 – 7:42 am

I’m noticing more and more how deserted it’s been leveling Ancelyn and Annata. There might be one occasional player, though it’s seemed as often to be a Horde player as not, but I’m almost always alone while I’m out in…

I have a little warlock

*sings*

I have a little warlock,
She’s pretty fun to play,
And when she’s feeling evil,
We DoT things up all day!

Leaving SWTOR?

March 20, 2012 – 8:03 am

On one hand, all I’ve done for the last 6 weeks is log in, find the game channels deserted, not be interested in questing, and log out.

On the other, I wonder if I’ve really given the game a chance.…

What is Epic?

March 19, 2012 – 7:42 am

A friend of mine had a GTalk status that brought me in mind of Sindragosa. While I can’t say I particularly LIKED that fight (any fight where the difficulty is created by making your players unable to play their class…

(Re) Adjustment

March 7, 2012 – 7:32 pm

Just a heads up that I’ve recently started a new job, and it’s going to take some settling out before I figure out exactly what my gaming time is going to be. (And relatedly what my blogging time will be)…
