Can’t tell if anyone is even playing

Sep3

I hit 70 on my priest, finally, but gosh the world feels empty.  I was in Netherstorm the other day and a hunter kept tagging my mobs and it felt bot like.  I healed a boomkin who was nearly dead, cheered after they killed the mob and buffed them but they didn’t even give any indication they noticed.  I also buffed a rogue and they didn’t say a thing.  No one asks to group or anything.

I think I will cancel my sub.  It’s sad but I haven’t had an active guild since MoP (Post Mortem), haven’t played with any friends in  years, and don’t have a group to play with any more (not since Legion). I don’t even feel a desire to earn pvp gear any more after ranking to 12 in classic, do bgs or dungeons, or raid.

What happened

Aug2

I’ve been chugging along in classic for a while but I’m starting to think the problem is the players more than the game in general.  For example, in retail I had guilds that lasted at least a year from Wrath through MoP.  Like talking to people every day, getting asked to heal everything, raiding, arena, rbgs, everything.  The once Post Mortem blew up, it was just guilds ending left and right.  No one asked me to heal or do anything, for a long time.

Classic has been the same only, guilds last about 3-4 months.  I don’t raid, dungeon, or get asked to do anything.  Can’t seem to make friends.  I had that one friend from the start of classic who just disappeared one day, and I think it was because I casually said something about the political color of my state.

It’s probably time to just stop playing.  I may log my retail characters in all at key locations for them and stop.

Pat my own back but…

Apr16

I mentioned a while back that groups go smoother when I heal.  For some reason the biggest drama queen always seems to be the healer.  I got ripped a new one literally the first time I ever tried to tank Deadmines as a warrior by a healer, and when I’ve been DPS the healer often times is a real catty pain in the ass.  You won’t even do anything and they get upset.  Now since I heal like 90% of the time if not more, that just doesn’t happen. Well, unless you are REALLY, REALLY bad like, afking fights or something.

Anyway last night I healed a Deadmines on my druid.  The mages wiped us twice and I just said “I can’t heal through all of that”.  The hunter rage-quit and told me “good luck with that group”.  We did nothing for about 15 minutes while the tank got a guildie to fill in and I just worked on a crochet hat while I waited.  We finished with not too much trouble.

Healing as a druid at 20 is interesting though.  You cast like 3 regrowth and you’re oom.  It’s really something.  You have to hope rejuv is good for most of the encounter.

Classic Still Bumping

Apr14

On the server I’m on, Pagle, it’s still very much bumping everywhere.  Westfall, Redridge, Duskwood, etc.  When people are waiting for buffs in Stormwind there are so many people it’s unreal, more than I think I’ve ever seen in town.

 

It’s like this in every direction!

That being said, druid is weird.  I had to do a quest to learn Bear Form, another that had me travel all over the world for Aquatic form, and several quests to learn Cure Poison. ALL BEFORE LEVEL 20!!!

 

But Cat form? Just hit level 20 and pay the trainer.  Weird.

I did not have to do any quests to learn skills on my mage and priest, other than the HIGHEST level water on the mage.

The BEST time in Westfall Wpvp

Feb26

As I’ve written about, I spent a lot of time over the years playing the Punisher/Batman out in the world guarding Alliance zones.  I haven’t been able to really do that since Legion when World Defense was removed.  But it still exists in classic!  I saw some pings in Westfall so I parked my priest out there and oh boy last night was fun.  It was a warrior that you’d swear was a bot, running a specific circuit to kill the Alliance quest givers.  He never fought back, but he had an Alliance counter part that would talk trying to find out what other Alliance thought of him.

I killed him 3 times myself.

but then I paired with with a shadow priest and we hunted him some more.  But that’s not the best part!

 

 

After a while we had attracted the attention of more 60’s like a warlock and a rogue, and we kept this warrior stunlocked for a good 10 minutes. We decided he needed to face justice and I shit you not, we feared, MC’d, sapped, stunned that horde from Moonbrook all the way to Stormwind! He kept trying to hearth out and started yelling things, but it was no good because I kept him healed during the other priests MC so we could bring him to justice.

Where he died gloriously to the Stormwind guards!

 

WE DID IT GUYS
