Binding heal use to be bogus

Dec6

Today I started out in WG farming for herbs, and hit the queue as it first opened and queued for it. However when the time ticked down I was thrown out to just outside the area. Well at least that wasn’t back to SW. This is quite bogus though, almost never being able to get into WG. I did not get in at all, and horde took WG.

Later I came back in and queued for it, while key binding another spot for Binding Heal. Now I just have to “learn” where it is so I don’t have to think about it when I need it. I get in on WG and we have 16 people in the raid. I said in raid I didn’t think we’d get it because the horde is traveling in their usual packs breaking up vehicles, but even though I died many times, we do capture it! I then humbly retract my statement and note what an awesome job that was.

I also /thank a shadow priest by the name of Nynaeeve who stopped to help me kill 2 horde that were chasing me.

That night I go BGing with Janusz at Arathi Basin and it’s all wins. And he rolls in kitty form, I like kitties, it’s all good XD

I log in and transmute a gem, then queue up for an in progress WG and get in.  We have 26 mins to go, and I appear to be talking to myself in general asking for vehicles locations; the only  person talking is me, saying where the vehicles are.  Sigh.

We do win, despite this jerk saying the same thing over and over.  I reported him.

My internet is being flakey, so I do not get in until around 9.  I get invited straight away to an Algalon the Observer fight and I figure why not.  I survive the first wipe but not the second but still, pretty cool looking fight.

After two attempts people leave and we give up.

After that 4 of us queue up for BGs, but I am still losing internet connection constantly so I have to give up for the night.

Wasn’t I just on another continent?

Dec4

So I found out today, if you try to sneak into WG, since I never, ever get called in any more, like now, and it throws you out, you go back to fucking STORMWIND.  It’s like um? Could you at least put me back on the continent I was on?

I was running around Eastern Plaguelands when I queued up for pvp with Janusz and some people, and half way through the AB battle for no reason I get thrown back to Eastern Plaguelands. WTH?  Then it shows I have the deserter buff. RAGE!

While I’m waiting out THAT bullshit I check out Light’s Hope Chapel which has been upgraded and Tirion has a statue up now.

So in the meantime I pick up a quest from the Chapel area and take one of those double person rockets off!

By the time that flight it up we queue again and get EotS and win! 141 honor and I only died once.

Next WSG, no death, 84 honor, win! 3/3 flags

Then AV, win, 117 honor.

Next Strand, 103 honor! Wee.  Nilvana joined up during AV and it’s fun running with groups of people, though I tend to focus more on them rather than random people, obviously.

ICC Achievements

Dec3

Early in the day I log in and have a party between Leonz and his shape shifting orb and Maice, who has his up but I didn’t get a shot of it.  Regardless I am dancing with a paladin and a tank so it’s fun!

Tonight we’re doing 10 man ICC to pick up some achievements. We do the Full House achievement for Lady Deathwhisper, though it takes a number of tries.

All goes well until Sindragosa, where a hard fight that we all hate, gets even harder.  Apparently one of them is having one tank, and one healer, which is me however I get Unchained Magic repeatedly every time for 2 attempts. We go back to 2 healers since this is not going well but we wipe a few times more.  We’re doing it on heroic, so yuck.

At one point I die ON an ice block and it makes for  a funny death.

It gets late and people are probably drunk, so after about 2 hours of trying we call it.  Heroic Sindragosa sucks.

I really need repairs

Dec2

At this point Darion sends me to Orgimmar which should be interesting since the only time I’ve been there was to raid.  And I really, really need repairs.

Then I get to experiance the usual bout of insults and food being thrown at me from the guards.

and since Thrall is gone, I get to visit Garrosh.  Turning in that quest gets me Friendly with Orgrimmar.  Now I need a repair. Fortunately all that damage only cost me 7g.

I then decide to run some battlegrounds to see how it goes.  We’re much more organized and I get several achievements related to pvp, I get an EotS victory.  4 killing blows, 54 HK’s,  and 45 honor.

27ellie

They remark how bad alliance is, which is sort of true unfortunately.  In that one battleground I earned the Honorable Kill, Know Thy Enemy, The Grim Repear and Eye of the Storm Victory achievements.  I queue again and get EoTS, we lose, 17 honor with 58 HK’s and 7 killing blows, but I ding 59, yay.

The next one is Arathi Basin and for some reason, only one alliance is allowed in so I’m able to get the Arathi Basin Victory, Arathi Basin Perfections, and Let’s Get This Done achievements in one swoop.

I queue up for another BG, but 20 minutes later I still haven’t gotten anything. I log out.
