Wintergrasp

Dec5

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!

198ocyla

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!

194ocyla

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.

195ocyla

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.

196ocyla

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.

25ellie

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.

26ellie

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.

28ellie

29ellie

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

Just Stop

Dec2

I try out my damage disc spec in a battleground, and we win, I get 142 honor but I am not finding a good balance between healing and dpsing.  I decide to set up my second spec to pick up the more pvp related disc talents instead.

I queue for a Strand and we get destroyed in like 4 mins flat.  Well at least it was quick.  Then I queue again, hit the button to go in, but get throws from the middle of the Trade District to the Cathedral Square.   Weird.

Next one, IoC, loss.

Then Strand and a win, 93 honor.  And I’m fairly certain, that this was about me.

192ocyla

Log into another IoC and we’re losing, like as I log in.  Horde already has the gates down, like 20 players inside, and it’s over. 32 honor.  I still don’t understand how I got 3 honor that one BG.

Next one, AB, loss, 21 honor. We’re playing like idiots like usual.

I then queue up for a dungeon and getone where the druid can’t stop saying lesbians.  I said something about being less obvious about being 12 years old and it stopped.
