I think all rogues have choppers

Feb16

Today I we won TB and I did my dailies.  While I was occupied with some crocs in the swamp, a undead rogue, whose name I cannot recall, attacks and kills me.  I lose both because I was injured by the croc, and had some CDs down from fighting it.  But hey I was flagged that’s what I get.

Later I also get into a fight, flagged while questing again, with Rayslayz, the blood elf shadow priest I was making kissy faces at while trying to kill a few days ago.  He has superior arena gear, and kills me.  I check his armory afterwards and notice the gear, and his 1800 arena rating. Nice.  I figure if he plays anything like me he’ll be hanging around still so I run back where he’s tangling with another alliance shadow priest, and help kill him, twice.  Yes, it was unfair but don’t run around flagged then.  Jumping people not ready isn’t exactly fair either but I’m ok with that.

I herbed so much that I overflowed my giant bag of herbs, even after making 10 flasks, my bag is still nearly full but I’m out of volatile life.  I may start selling the extras since herbs gathered far outpaces the volatiles used in flasks now.

I did a few totally fail battlegrounds, then got into TB.  I play hide and seek with a BE paladin named Aldturmiss around a column, and since he seems so intent on killing me I blow my usual kisses, then later he returns them before dying to lots of Alliance.  We do not take TB that time though.  I thanked Khrow, a rogue, for helping me survive an attack on the road by a shaman who didn’t seem to want to leave me alone, and made a point to heal Rayzo hanging out with me at Slag. Rayzo also has a chopper, I swear all rogues do.

Rogues are slippery

Today I log in to do 2’s and get in a TB battle, which we actually win! Couldn’t believe it.  Of course someone said the horde probably want to run TB on their Alliance alts, which.. would be lame.  Still, we got it.

Afterward we form up for BH and get that boss the first try. No cloth drops though.

Later I get on the next battle, and run in flagged just in time to get the win though, and run into my Ladiesman rogue, but the Alliance around me aren’t helping out so I die. To wear off the pvp flag I go stand in a group of these Alliance guards…

and as a horde runs past I stun them, and they run in to their deaths as they try to kill me.  Those TB guards, are no joke.  I know, they wreck my junk when I do the same thing on the Horde side.  However,  I had to laugh! Then twice my rogue “friend” runs in, once gets killed by the guards, and another time has to bail over the edge to get away from some alliance.  The third time I watch from my ring of guards, while he heads closer to the Alliance camp and stand flagged, on a rock looking down on our camp.  I forget to take a screenshot but since I am not flagged I just watch him on his motorcycle.  It must be a rogue thing, since Stout has the same one.  I had half a mind to stun with a Chastise and levitate down to my camp, but I figure I’d behave myself for once.

So! Tonight we did get Chimaeron

We also went on to kill Halfus, Valiona and Theralion in Bastion of Twilight.

I get a new pair of bracers too (Bracers of the Bronze Flight), so very happy, was wearing pvp bracers for a long while ><

So I met this one rogue…

Yesterday I ran into that LadÎesman rogue and he started the blowing a kiss thing again, so we traded that back and forth for a while. I decided to hop on my horde after the battle just to send a note that I was impressed with his playing at the battles and he said it was nothing personal that he goes for healers first, and that it was fun. I agreed and said I expected anyone with sense to kill healers first. And for some reason he sent me 2 ruined embersilk scraps. Too bad you can’t loot bodies in TB like you could in WG, and get funny grey items like Broken I WIN button, crystallized tears, etc. I liked that little touch.

Tonight we ran BWD again and wiped right away a few times on Aramedes when Darth wasn’t doing, whatever needed to be done. The funny thing is, the time we got it he was dead like the entire battle, then dropped a hint that someone killed him with fire, rather than doing what the rest of us do and get OUT of the fire.

Then we tried the Chimaera again and several times got him down to between 160k and 800k health. I kid you got. SO CLOSE. Clearly, a disc priest doesn’t fly here. We called it without getting it because it was late, but I am positive we’ll get it tonight. We got it almost down at least 5 times.

Deepholm

Finished up the chain of Deepholm quests, and ran the dailies for Therazane.

Ran TB twice today as attacking and did not take it.  During one of the battles, a worgen named Shíggles starts carrying on about how TB is so easy to take, I say it’s not, in raid, and they decide to take the convo to pm’s.  Basically we’re in agreement that you need a coordinated group of people, preferably on voice comm, to take TB.  What I disagree on is that is it NOT EASY.  It’s not easy because even amounts of people have uneven jobs.  The defenders with 50 people need to only keep one base.  The attackers with 50 people (for example) have to take and keep THREE BASES.  That, is not easy.  Add to the fact that you are running around with people who may not be in pvp gear, probably not with the ideal amount of healers, with various people attempting to lead, and other lack of communication, it is NOT EASY.

But to me, bringing 50+ people that work well together, in itself, is not considered “easy”.  They then ask if I’ve heard of Rogue’s Vent, which no I have not.  Rather than telling me what that is they keep expressing shock and awe that I haven’t heard of it. I couldn’t find a thing on it, and they gave me the wrong url for it 3 times, only then could I locate anything about it.  I was willing to go into vent and speak about this more, but shortly after I kept saying their vent link didn’t work, they asked me to stop pming them and I said fine.

I mean, if it takes that much coordination and everyone in a vent server, I’ll do it.  But that, people, is not easy.

Afking for Honor

Jan26

Ran the TB dailies with Janusz today, though we only had it for a short time today before losing it again. Since I’m honor capped I bought new boots, bracers, and belt.

During some battlegrounds, a person kept shouting to report a person, which means to report them being afk. I watched the rogue standing there in one instance, fading in and out of stealth, and moving occasionally, and pointed out that reporting player afk doesn’t work if they are a bot doing things to make them not really afk. It stinks a person can do that and you cannot kick them out though, and they still get honor for doing nothing.

We try the Bastion of Twilight, but it’s not working out and after 10:30 I have to go.
