Shifting Blame

Mar28

I don’t lose many bgs as Horde, but when I do, someone blames others.

First off, sometimes Horde wins are really strange.  We can be playing technically pretty awful, but still win.  Take this Twin Peaks for instance.  How did we do that? I don’t even know! Look at the damage!

NOTHING WAS DYING! But we won!

But alas tonight I queued into an existing loss where ally had one flag cap already.   A paladin with around 483k health gets the flag and I start shadowing them on my hunter.  I get sapped, they keep running.  The rogue opens on them and takes them down to 40% health in no time flat.  I get out of the sap and peel them off, throwing a flare at the rogue as he vanishes.

The paladin crosses the river and gets sapped again.  A monk is constantly doing that spinning kick all around them.  I flare the area again.  3-4 more Alliance descend and wreck the paladin.  Then we got:  “Sapped twice, pop flares next time”.

Oh sure, that’ll help.  Because I can spam flares when I just used one. And sap itself isn’t that big of a deal.  Damage breaks it, sap itself does not damage.  Gosh.

Yolo RBGs Have Been Terrible Lately

Mar22

Now I understand why people were skeptical about me getting 1700 in what was essentially yolo’s.  Oh my gosh the groups have been terrible.  Like worse than random terrible.  I ran three on my druid last night and lost ALL THREE.  So, see this?

The other team was so bad that I was allowed to stand back here and heal so hard I went OOM and not get touched, but we still couldn’t hold a base.  I think my rating is something like 950, but only because of those 2 awesome wins the other day.  Otherwise it would be 50, or… 100.

I boosted my warrior to 90 and I’m trying out fury.  I guess arms is better but whatever, I want to learn fury.  Warriors are fun, and have so many skills; it’s kind of ridiculous.

I also want to go back to Dragon Soul to get the Deep Earth druid set, it’s pretty.

Just a vicious asshole

Mar19

I was out in Halaa the other day, and shot a level 60 something druid out of the sky, then tested sticking a disengage landing.  Didn’t take a lick of damage.  Then of course I got a rager raging about pvp happening.  Hint: We’re on a pve server, if you don’t flag I can’t hit you.

Then had some fun with 90’s on the ground.  Not very good 90’s but hey I’ll take it.

Later I was doing premades with a group I met on the forums, we won 4 ABs in a row.  This warrior would NOT shut up about how bad we were doing, so I took a look at his gear.  Mostly Timeless stuff, not enchanted.  Then I get this.  I’ve never heard of people comparing death counts and using it as a bragging right, just saying.

I think I figured out flag guarding

Mar16

So between regular and rated bgs (bad ones) I think I have a grip on who guards flags. I think people go through the following things:

1)  Is no one at the base guarding it?

Good, someone else can do it.

2)  I’m the only one at the base but I’m going to leave because

Someone else can do it.

3)  I ran like hell to get the flag but I’m not going to guard it because

Someone else can do it.

4) I’m at a base but the enemy is coming, I’m gonna run off because

Someone else can do it.

I did have a very good yolo tonight though that were calling incs in AB and aoeing like a boss.  That makes me happy.

Traitor

Mar14

I gquit Post Mortem today.   I suppose I should have done it a while back, but Annibelle sort of pushed me over the edge.  No one has been on in that guild in a while, and Iocane doesn’t log in much.

I guess it started when I ran into him on his warrior in Venture Bay, and killed him.  He wasn’t too amused.  Then I was healing Tol Barad on my druid and he called me a traitor “because I can’t fucking kill you”.  No, that’s because Alliance on my server is bad at pvp.

Then after a Tol Barad I made a point of killing him twice and he took it badly, he at first was first bitching about the two healers that happened to be there when I queued in, and later when I killed him with a warrior on me.  I got “I fucking hate you” and he removed me from real id.  Ok then.  I switched to Alliance, said “why you gotta be like that” or something and then just gquit a bit later.

I brought the deluxe version of Warlords and I get a free 90 which I’m going to use when my warrior is 60.  That way I get boosted professions, yay not going to have to leveling engineering or blacksmithing, which is the only profession I don’t have yet.
