Levelling Speed
I’ve been spending a bit of my time levelling my little latest mage a bit more, she’s 24 now. And just thinking back to the last time I went through Southern Barrens with my pallie strikes me as utterly ridiculous. The mage is tearing through enemies like a hot knife through butter, whereas even at [...]
Closing the 2007 Welfare Epics Debate with a Look at PvE
As you will have noticed, I’ve had a couple of things to say on the whole PvP loot distribution system and its perception by the playerbase.
From the other side of the issue, Rohan has been using about as much virtual ink over the matter pointing out the flaws of the arena rewards system and why [...]
First WordPress update performed
Tonight WordPress released a minor update with some bug fixes(version 2.3.2). It was with a slight apprehension that I went about the upgrade, not least because the backup plugin I was using was acting up at first. As you can see, though, it all went down smoothly in the end.
The only thing which I had [...]
How to Improve your Account Security
As you will have noticed, there’s a widespread account hacking activity going on at the moment, and many people, me included, aren’t exactly happy about the customer service options currently provided by Blizzard.
However, to be perfectly clear about one thing, keeping your PC secure isn’t anybody but your own business. And as this story from [...]
Best Wishes to You!
Dear reader,
In that journey begun six months ago, you took an interest to my modest adventures, my reviews, my musings and my rants, and put up with the (hopefully) decent stuff I wrote along with the mediocre.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting, returning, commenting, subscribing, e-mailing, and offering feedback and [...]
IRL, it must be XMas time
There’s that one time of the year, every year, when you sit down in front of the TV with your wife, and there’s absolutely nothing interesting at all, you have no real will to watch anything off your DVD collection so you just switch channels around.
And there, on French TV, as every year for a [...]
When Arena Gear only takes you so far
Matticus just posted a story about a ZA run with an undergeared pallie healer. Immediate disclosure: no, it wasn’t me. But it resonated with last night’s WoW session.
I logged on my pallie, intending to go fishing some Golden Darters, which is more or less the only thing I can motivate myself to grind for cash [...]
The Sky is falling, the Sky is falling! Oh wait, it’s not
It’s that time of the year. Or, to be precise, it’s one of these times of the year, when thoughts from different angles come together in a common train just waiting to derail into an argument.
WoWinsider’s Amanda Miller reports on yet another taunt by some unheard-of developer for Age of Conan (currently scheduled for [...]
Melee Hunters: an Aberration due to poor Class Design?
I was leveling my mage in Southern Barrens a bit last night, and there, right before my horrified eyes, I had another sample of that sorry excuse for a huntard, the sadly still-too-common Melee Hunter.
Now while I have a whole complement of hunters spread across 5 servers (I had to check) all sitting around level [...]
The Darnassian Cheese Conspiracy
Something is afoot in the night elven treetops. Something fishy, nay, rotten. You know about Darnassian Bleu? No, not a newbie night elf on a French realm. I’m talking about the cheese.
So you have this national food there, obviously a recent creation since Darnassus didn’t exist until after good ole’ Archimonde decided to light the [...]
Guild Applications: How to Make it Harder On Yourself
I had to laugh at a recent guild application, which reminded me of some funny ones we’d get in my old pre-TBC guild which I would routinely scan and respond to on the web site (I was more or less informally the guild’s PR officer at that time).
So here’s a little list of things to [...]
