Downhill! >.<

Ukyo — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:23:04 GMT

I haven't slept in a few hours (i slept like 2 maybe 3 hours in the night xP) so excuse any errors in typing or w/e since my brain is functioning like 1/4 of what it should.

It's been really weird being back in the same server with people i cut ties with because of the transfer. Feels like there's some resentment on my back because i left what it was a pretty fun guild and now it's filled with strangers. I'm not in the guild, but still feels pretty weird from outside. Every friend that's talking to me keeps telling me to join the guild, but looking at it from a "needs" pov, why should i, it's not like they really need another warrior in the lines.

PvP wise i'm back in the same battlegroup, Vindication, only good thing that came out of it was that i don't run into double glaive rogues anymore, yay :D!

Been doing arenas with a shammy friend, not very well geared, and they instagib him a lot, when they're not instagibbing me and cc'ing him. I'm about to start counting to more than 2 for ratings and such, i need to finish my honor farming so i can pick up my lock for WotLK.

I want to raid, but there seem to be an awful excess of warriors in the server, so no one needs a tank nor a fury warrior, i'm pretty much screwed there for now. Throwing apps to 1 guild at a time but still nothing. Maybe i'll have to suck it up and throw an app to my friends' guild, which i'm still reluctant to do so ("Will carry alts for gear, pst" should work, right?).

Changing the subject, i was looking at the trailer for DD's movie, and i noticed a link in the end, so i went there and i found out the most amazing thing i've ever seen in my life (exaggerations ftw!):

http://www.playlist.com/

Now, i don't know if anyone of you knows this page, but it was the first time i saw it, and i went nuts over it! Being the music freak that i am, i think it's a pretty good project, the quality of the songs is nice (better than my aIMP lol) and the amount of songs is pretty remarkable.

In case anyone wants to listen to my PvP Playlist, here it is:

Without anything else to say and pretty much falling asleep on the KB (inc faceroll!)

Arena Stress

Ukyo — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:22:50 GMT

Have you ever been playing arena and lose to teams that you know they wouldn't cut it in higher brackets, but still you can't take them out because of "game mechanics"?

I have, and the feeling of impotence sucks. I hate it, and it makes me hate the whole arena system. I just hate it. I hate that it makes me annoying, and i start to question what am i doing wrong, why other classes don't have the same problems that i do while i do arenas. It just FUCKING SUCK!!!

Anyway, been doing arenas on the new server (Ragnaros :D), but the lame part is that i'm back in my old battlegroup (Vindication). Now, i missed my friends and all, but i atleast expected a new battlegroup to have some fun, not to fight the same people i fought like 4 months ago. Not cool, but, i can live with that.

Other things i've been thinking about is the mace spec deal. I don't like mace spec with my Vengeful Glad mace, procs too spaced, loses the whole "multichainstunftw" idea. So, i realized that i made a mistake by picking it. If you're wondering about your new weapon, and you're running weird/fun comps, please go with Sword or Axe (preparing yourself for WotLK), it'll be more fun. But, if you still want to make it to mace spec, craft Stormherald and profit. That weapon was made for the spec. Seriously, i can't even begin to describe the difference between the 2 weapons. If you're running with a Druid on 2's or a Priest, it might be helpful to run with a mace, but if you're running with a Shaman in 2's, get a freaking sword and loooooove that wf totem. (I was thinking about picking up the S2 sword myself since i want to spend my arena points on S4 gear for now). If you can, make an intervene macro for it, he'll thank you by granting you full unparriable procs xD!

PvE seems like a nice option, but i'm still a little... undecided if i should join the guild my friends' are in. They're making progress, they care about moving fast through content so we can be in Sunwell before WotLK, but... i don't know, it might feel weird since when i left the server, some feelings got hurt and some people in that guild didn't like the choice i made. Hard to think there's still some grudges, but there might be.

Anyway, that's all i wanted to say for today, gnight (morning lol i can see the sun) to anyone who reads this blog :B

WoW arrives to Latin america!!!

Ukyo — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:01:23 GMT

I've been away from wow lately, because i "ran out" of money to keep playing, but mainly because i wasn't having that much fun playing. I was practically alone on the server, wasn't doing much of anything and wasn't even having fun logging onto a game where i was playing basically alone and all i ever did was stand around in Orgrimmar.

That has changed in the past few weeks, i started playing other stuff, like DotA (private servers, never had W3), and Guilty Gear Online (XX #Reload if anyone knows the game :B). Been having fun, but still, there's that "What do i do know, i wanna log to see my warrior", but that's not going to last too much now.

If you guys have been reading the wow site news lately, Blizzard's setting up a brand new server (realm to be exact) and they're allowing most of the Latinamerican people to transfer for free. Now, when i first knew about this, i thought "ZOMGLOWLATENCY! YAY", but now, that's been released and the pathways are clear for transfer, most of my old friends from Burning Blade and Lightning's Blade (the ones i used to play with and against back in the private server days) are transfering to the new server. So, i'm doing it too. It's going to be fun to meet with old enemies, ganking/dueling outside of IF and stuff, but the main thing that forced me to do it was...

... Friendship, i've missed my old friends, the ones that i used to do pvp with, for fun, where we could be for hours and hours killing allys or just messing around in Vent/TS, those friends that got me started in arena just for fun, where for the lack of gear/coordination/decent combo, never got through 1700, but still had fun. Most of them are retired now, and a few of them are now on Ragnaros (the name of the server).

In the end, i had time to look back at the reasons i transfered to Smolderthorn, but... all those reasons faded away, and i got stuck in a server where i knew a lot of people, but no guilds needed a warrior, or no one did arenas outside the guild they were in. Most of the people that transfered to merge with the other guild quitted, leaving us, the ones that trusted them, alone on a strange server. But not anymore, i'll be back with the people i started playing with, and have fun with a game i love.

Is it me or something else?

Ukyo — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:15:40 GMT

So, been doing the whole "PvP only" thing, not working that well for me. I've been looking back and wondering... What the hell is wrong with my teams!!.

Right now i'm doing arenas with a Resto Shaman and a Rogue (both friends, and it's not the same rogue that carried me to get my weapon xD), and i've been looking for a decent 2v2 partner, with no luck yet. So we couldn't break the 1600 mark, and every time we lost i got more and more frustrated, to the point that i just didn't care if we won or not (not entirely true, since if we win, i'd be "glad" that we won :P). But now i'm wondering... Is it me that plays badly, or my teams don't work, or wtf is wrong with this game.

I know that arenas are pretty much teamwork and having the right comp, but, why the hell can't i keep moving up?! I want to keep moving up, i want to be in that bracket where you get decent teams, not some Feral druid/Shadow Priest/Combat Rogue with crappy gear... or some RMP that you can stomp the priest in half a second if you get a windfury/stun proc... but for some weird reason, i can't...

And i can't seem to be able to explain it, and i just stay there... getting stomped by the next team that drains us for 18 points... i just... can't explain it... and it fucking frustrates me not being able to do something to stop it.

I miss the old days, where you only relied on yourself to be "successful" (for the lack of a better word)...

On a fun note...

Ukyo — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:09:14 GMT

a friend sent me this picture, and i saw it at 11 PM, and i'm still laughing...

WoW related: Not much, haven't played that much, the pally on my 3's sold his char and i'm grinding honor so i can pick up stuff on tuesday, other than that, it's been pretty average. I even considered selling my warrior and retiring from wow, but, meh, who knows.

Perspective (Non WoW Related)

Ukyo — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:18:51 GMT

So, after a day that lasted 48 hours, i can finally sit down and actually look back to the longest day of my life.

This day started on wednesday, around 2~3 PM, when i got 3 consecutive calls about the same thing: My dad had a transit accident and he was on his way to the hospital. Now, the usual reaction would've been "Holy crap! how is he!!"... but... i had a feeling already that something happened to my dad, and that, though serious, he was ok.

All that my mother wanted to do was to pick up her car and drive all the way to the hospital (he was on another... let's call it "state" for the lack of a better translation ) where my dad was. Now, my parents are separated, almost 15 years i think, but they're still pretty good friends and all. I tried to calm my mom, and at the same time trying to distract me because if i'd focus too much on the subject, i'd probably had ended in the same mental state as my mom.

On thursday, at 5 AM, my mom woke up and started to get ready to drive to see my dad, she was gonna bring a co-worker from my dad (though both work at the same place... kinda...), and they were gonna go check my dad and all the other people involved in the accident. Earlier that day, i finally found out what happened in the accident. A cargo truck hitted the van my dad and his co-workers were in from behind, the van had stopped on a red light and the truck, for unknown reasons, didn't had the room to stop. The crash killed instantly the person sitting in the back seat, and my dad was in front of him. My dad broke the left clavicle and the 1st rib, also had an exposed fracture to the nose, and multiple contusions.

When my mom left the house, it was raining really hard, with a lot of wind. So i was worried about my mom driving in this kind of weather, and my dad that was supposed to be coming back later. Thank god the rain stopped and all we had left was wind. Around 12:30 PM my mom called me that she was getting to Coquimbo (the "state" a.k.a. IV region of Chile), and was close to the hospital, and that she'll call me later when she had more news about my dad.

After informing everyone on my family that my mom was already on the hospital (was a lot of work, we're a big family lol), around 5 PM (while watching the 1st Euro 2008 Quarterfinal match) my mom called and said she was on her way back with my dad on the car and that they were going to the IST (A hospital that specialized on working accidents) to get some x-rays and to see if my dad had to stay overnight again.

Around 7 PM i went to meet an aunt that wanted to go to the hospital to greet my dad, who arrived around 8:30 PM (about the same time the World Cup qualifiers started, Chile was playing Venezuela). They took the x-rays and around 9:15 PM we left the hospital to another aunt's house, to have some dinner and see if we could watch the last minutes of the qualifiers. My dad's mooth was kinda weird, he phased out a lot, he was sad about his friend's death, yet he remembered the good times they had while he was alive.

After we arrived just in time to see Chile pull out an awesome win over Venezuela in the last minute (and my dad tried to jump when Chile scored the goal, but the broken clavicle and the bruises on his back didn't let him complete his jump, and we all kinda laughed) he started to tell the story of what he remembered about the accident.

After all those stories, in which he realized that the dead one could've been him, since they were messing around about who would go sit on the last seat on the van, we called it a night and left to "my" house, where my mom picked up some clothes, and they went to my dad's place, she was going to stay the night overthere in case my dad needed anything and i was left in the house, to watch it overnight.

Today they went to his friend's funeral, to pay their respects, and later to the hospital, where the doctors gave him some pills and a harness for his broken clavicle and they told him he needed to rest and use that so they wouldn't have to do surgery on his shoulder (since the bone when back, and for the surgery they needed to thin out the bone, and at 50 years old, it wouldn't heal right, or at least that what they said), and we went to my aunt's house to keep my dad some company and stuff.

Now that it's 12:00 PM on "saturday", i look back and realize that i could've lost my dad, and though i thank god that i didn't, i don't feel sad, i'm actually quiet, i kept my cool when the accident happened, i tried not to fall into despair and going nuts about being far from where he was. Though me and my dad don't have a serious connection with each other, i still feel bad for him for all that he's been through. I've always been the person that keeps his "sanity" when something serious happens, or when someone on my family died. I don't cry on funerals, i rather meditate about the person's life, and thank him for any influence he may has had on my life. But now, i was worried. We don't talk much, since usually our personalities clash a lot (we have almost the same personality lol), but at that moment, i would've liked to tell him that i loved him, despite his way of being. After all he is my dad.

To end this, if you have your parents around, you should tell them you love them, you never know when something like this could happen, and you could lose that valuable chance.

PS: This could be the most serious and longest blog post i've ever written

PS2: http://www.diarioeldia.cl/index.php?...2793&Itemid=38
here's a link of the news and a small picture of the van (it's in spanish though, but most of the important parts i already wrote them up on the post)

PS3: LOL didn't noticed Horatio already had a blog entry with the title "Perspective" XD

You can't take down a warrior with 2 melee!!!

Ukyo — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:53:20 GMT

So, i've been looking for a druid to see if i can push to 2k before the season ends, so i only have to upgrade my chest before starting to change all my gear. No luck what-so-ever. I guess all the good healers are taken right now, and while doing the typical "MS Warrior LF Decent Druid for 2's, blahblahblah (se habla espa�ol)" crap, i even got a whisper from a hunter.

Tonight we decided with my rogue friend that carries me all over the arena ratings <3, that since our other friend (also a rogue) was having some moving/studying issues, we should do some 2's to get some points. So... there we were, when...

Blade's edge arena popped up, Rogue/Priest from our server... and i fell cuz i missed the freaking rope on the sidepillars >.<. I hate that freaking rope, i always miss it... i'm starting to think that i should probably stop going for the ramp and just throw attack the target over there.

First loss, and then reznor got lagged, and me too, couldn't pummel a lesser healing wave on a shammy that had like 7% health because, according to my client, my target wasn't in line of sight. ._.�

We stopped, and after an hour break (eat, some "relaxation" courtesy of my PvP tracklist and AB's, some horde side ganking) we started again from... 1750 i think...

Got stomped by a Warrior/Ret pally (anything with a pally counters us, thanks to BoP) with full S3 gear. And then... something happened.

We got out of the arena and saw our games... 0-1. On TS we were "WTF!!" i relogged, went in for another arena, same freaking team. and now it was 0-1 again. "Ok, i'm sending a ticket, do--", he q'd and instant q, so we joined, while getting ready i got the ticket text finished and then i got a response from a gm mid match (1v1 vs an annoying rogue, kept sapping me the fucker... and he tried to sap me while i was getting the shadow sight buff and had zerker rage up lul). So i started talking to the gm, and then it hit'd me... it was 4:10 AM, and i opened up the PvP tab, and i had 600 extra points... ^_^�

So we decided to stop, since there's no point on doing arenas if we got the points, and see if we can get to 2k tomorrow before i start my new 3's with a friend's Shammy and a Pally. (2 "healers"/Warrior)

On other news... i saw the first part of Swifty's new vid. I have to say, it's pretty entertaining, though he's not that much skilled (The "Pat wannabe" section was amusing). Some nice tricks in the 1st part, and i'm dl'ing the 2nd part to get a full opinion on the video. I also saw the MLG live stream (though on sunday i couldn't see it, was watching the Euro 2008, GO TURKEY/Netherlands! >=D!) and saw FD vs SK games (3rd and 4th actually). Amazing games, some nice variations of the usual pvp specs you see, too bad Neilyo's team lost.

Still not done recording stuff for my first pvp vid, got Vegas installed in my PC and i'll see if i can get some S4 matches or something maybe, who knows. Also got back my Steam account, so i'm back playing CS <3.

Been having fun, though missing some of my old friends on Burning Blade, and i'm actually waiting to see what S4 will bring to the PvP Table.

I think that's pretty much it, later, thanks for reading

Jumping in the "10 Top WoW Moments" train!

Ukyo — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:32:09 GMT

Stealing the idea from Muggs, i shall write my 10 Top moments on WoW:

10.- Downing Hakkar: After months and months of wipes with my former former guild, we killed Hakkar, it was an awesome moment, and i got the legs :D!

9.- Getting invited to my server's Honor group:
What started as a premade AB group with the PvP elite from my server, got me invited to the same group that had the best of the best i've ever seen so far. Good Times (Pre cross server BG's)

8.- Getting to Ragnaros: Same drill, farming most of the content on my former former guild, one day we got Majordomo down and decided to try Ragnaros. Until this day i still remember the first time i saw him emerge from the lava pool where he lives.

7.- Getting to 60: I had my fun while doing it, i didn't had gear, actually, didn't worried that much about gear, but i did it and it felt awesome ^^.

6.- The day my friends' accounts were stolen: I know "wtf?" right?... but that was the day i realized the type of people you play with, and i felt disapointed and happy at the same time... weird. Still miss my friends (though 1 of them is back playing a warrior) was fun just messing in game with them.

5.- Getting my Dal'rend Set: Awesome moment... a friend got the 2 at once, and it took me 1 month to get my set. And went pvp'ing with them, and wtfpwned a lot of people :D.

4.- Crafting my Lionheart Helm: Mythical helm to any old fury warrior lurking here. I finally finished my fury gear and guess what i did after that... yup... went pvp'ing with it XD!

3.- Crafting Stormherald (Pre-Badge = Vortex patch): I finally had all the freaking vortexes i needed to craft it. And i finally had one of the most awesome weapons i've ever used in all my WoWLife.

2.- Getting to General before the honor system change: It was a long farm, took me a lot of personal time to make it, but i did it. Though until this day i remember i missed 2% of Warlord lol

1.- Watching my first Warrior PvP Vid: Vikturus, one of the reasons i went warrior (next to Laintime of course) in the first place. Watching what he could do with that spec made me want to be a Fury PvP'er in the first place.

Bonus Tracks:

- Getting my Vengeful Gladiator's Bonecracker: Awesome moment, i didn't slept the night before the maintenance because i knew i'd finally have my S3 weapon <3.
- Getting to 1850 personal rating: And with an underdog Comp: Rogue/Warrior. I played like i'd never played before, some nice pummel switches (and well-timed too!) and i finally got to that desired personal rating on my own. No wintrades or buying it. With hard work :D!

I have more moments, but those are my Top 10 for now, i could add more later, who knows xDD

Later

What's world pvp?

Ukyo — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:18:44 GMT

Lately i've been lurking around outlands (epic flying mount ftw) killing people and using my shiny new weapon. And i also have been looking for a decent Warrior PvP vid. No luck though, except for this one:

Adema Warrior

Granted, it's a little old, but watching it and watching some of the responses on the video, i've been wondering... What's world pvp really like then?

I know, world pvp is when you kill people around the world (Azeroth/Outlands). But most people tend to think that you need to have like a coordinated fight with equally geared people so it counts as a World PvP Fight.

Looking back on time, back to the Laintime vids, most of his opponents are crappy geared. And it's not until the last vid he makes that decent geared people appear. Unless you're in a quick progressing server, you won't be having world pvp with equally geared people. You'll outgear most of the people you run into.

Looking at another example, Kenion's Eviscerape 1, most of his opponents were T3 geared, and that reflects on the server's progression. So basically, unless you're in a server that's been taking a lot of gear from BT/MH (which by this point should be a standard), you won't meet the standards of World PvP, according to the internetz people.

Now, everyone here knows that world pvp is basically "Red = Dead", but... why does people really worry about gear/skill when it comes to world pvp. What makes them think that from 10 million people that play this game, we all play the same way as Laintime, or Kenion, and have access to the same amount of gear as they did.

But more important... what's World PvP for you?

A picture > Thousand words

Ukyo — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:34:23 GMT

So...

Yay for me! :D

I was really hyped about getting the shoulders, but due to the fact that blizzard decided to screw me over (4 straight loses, all with Rogue/Priest, all in Blade's Edge Arena), i guess i'll stick with my S3 weapon. Still an upgrade, and hopefully we'll be able to break 1850 this week for a friend's priest =P

Thanks to Reznor, who made this possible twice XD (rogue carrying warrior ftw =D) and a shout to all the people that kept me in the game when i had no mood to keep playing it =D

That's it, thanks a lot <3

- Logout -

PS: It even feels lighter than Stormherald XD!

So close... yet so far...

Ukyo — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:06:17 GMT

So, this week i said i might be getting a S3 weapon, that this was my only goal for now in S3 and i'd start saving points for S4...

... Well, i was wrong...

Today started on a very nice note, i had fun doing some bg's, regardless the lack of coordination and the huge amount of kids running around pretending they were "PvP Gods" and stuff... Recorded some nice clips for my future PvP vid, and then, a friend (Reznor, the rogue i did 2's with and got to 1850 for my weapon) told me that he saw a vid of a Warrior/Rogue on youtube, and i asked him if we were going to do some 3's with a friend's priest (don't really care about arena vids xD). Then he logged on his rogue, and told me to get to nagrand, then he told me to lose the 2's i had (1854 personal/team rating) and that we were gonna do some 2's.

At first i was a little reluctant, since it was my anchor to get my sweet little gnomestomper. Then i said... "why not..."...

2 hours later, we were sitting on a 2's team with a 1928 rating... and talking to push it to 2k so i can pick up my shoulders. Right now i'm sitting on 3072 points, so if i get the 2k rating, i'll get 3872 points, with which i can pick my S3 Chest and Shoulders.

So, we talked about it, and we're going to see if we can push to 2k, and i can finally look awesome with S3 shoulders (no more gear edits yay!). I never thought i'd be getting my S3 shoulders, but either way i get an upgrade. If we lose, i get enough points to pick up the bonegrinder, or if we do it, i get enough points to complete my full S3 set.

I've had a lot of fun doing PvP/Arena only, working on my PvP vid and studying arena vids to improve my gameplay. The lack of doing PvE content and progressing sucks, yes, but i'm actually enjoying my time playing WoW right now. And i actually see myself playing in S4, regardless i disagree with a lot of the changes blizzard made...

On another note, Requiem went "Premium", and i think you have to pay 14,99 a month for some decent gametime (more xp, more % of drop, less % loss on death, etc.)... I didn't like that i had to pay for a game on a beta state to actually enjoy it. The game is still bugged, still is pretty nice without paying and stuff... but... for 14,99 i think i'll stick with WoW until WHO gets to live phase.

Who knows, maybe i'll even start saving for WotLK... though i don't see many changes in the PvP area of the game.

That's it for now, tomorrow i have a pretty good day, my dad's 50th birthday is coming and we're gonna do a big party, maybe i'll get to 2k before the b-day and i can be happy for 2 reasons... and who knows, maybe that can light up my spark for the game again.

Later, thanks for reading

-Log Out-

... And back to the vice

Ukyo — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:00:59 GMT

So, i've been playing Requiem a lot, i'm lvl 38 so far and i'm having some problems lvling to 39 (the amount of xp for 39 is more than the amount to lvl up to 71 xD). Still is a pretty fun game, though the economy in the game is pretty much sucky. But... still isn't WoW =P.

I came back this week to start doing some pvp with my friends and to see if i can get my S3 mace before S4 starts. We've been doing pretty good (Rogue/Warrior/Disc. Priest) and we intend to push to 1823 (exactly the amount of points i need for the weapon <3) as we're sitting right now on 1754. We've run into a lot of RMP combos, and although they're tough, we've been able to beat them quickly enough.

It seems that i have this game on my blood now, and i can't seem to stay away for that long xD. I left my former raiding guild since i felt i was using space, i stopped raiding for a while now, i was bored that in the raid 5 or 6 people were the only ones interested in progressing fast, and tossing money away every week so that i would wait 5 minutes outside the instance and... there was no raid to attend to...

But now i'm pretty happy, i'm dedicating my time to do something else, instead of just staying all day sitting in org, trying to find something to do. All my apps to other guilds fell through and, i feel like PvP is the only fun thing atm since i won't be setting a foot on Sunwell for a while =P.

That was pretty much it, might go back to playing Q3 when i'm not doing arenas with my friends and... who knows... maybe i'll start raiding when WotLK hits the servers.

Thanks for reading :D later

The break...

Ukyo — Fri, 23 May 2008 06:04:45 GMT

So, i cancelled my account a few days ago. Why? well, WoW isn't fun anymore for me, and Requiem seems a lot more fun thatn WoW right now.

I've been playing Requiem for the last 6 days, and i'm enjoying myself. I even got a friend of mine to start playing with me. Left her behind with my z0mglvling skills. Got 3 chars so far. A 23 defender (tank, kinda like a pally tank), a 19 soon-to-be-20 Templar (Kinda like a shaman with insta lightning bolts and some druid skills) and an 18 Soul Hunter (Hunter + Lock).

Today i logged onto finding some guild drama on the forums, some progress (Vashj and Naj down, don't really care lol) and when i logged, my guild was giving some attempts on supremus. And then, the whisper: "Dps?". I thought: "why not, got nothing better to do..." and we got Supremus down to 22% best attempt. We could've downed him, but... Vulcanos > raid it seems lol. I tried it out on the PTR so i got a "glimpse" of what the boss fight was... but it was a while ago, so i had to go to bosskillers for some quick reading.

Nice day for starting all grim and stuff. Cloudy days kinda depress me, don't know why. Tomorrow we'll see, i saw on the Gmotd we were doing ZA... maybe i'll get invited, who knows. What i do know is that i won't be going back to wow after the account gets Frozen. So after almost 4 years playing, and 196 days played on my warrior, i might be calling it quits. But... there's still 25 days left on my account, who knows :P

Thanks for reading ^^

Requiem of a Farewell...

Ukyo — Sat, 17 May 2008 06:40:40 GMT

So, yeah... it's been a while since i've been feeling bored and that flame that used to make me play the game i've come to love so much isn't there anymore. Things with my guild are pretty quiet, they're starting to make one of the mistakes Ciderhelm talked about in a podcast. The raids are turning repetitive, all we do is basically SSC (for the hopes of taking down Vashj eventually).

I know, it's all for the sake of the guild and all, but... clearing almost all of SSC, giving attempts to Vashj and WIPING on VR... seems rather ridiculous...

So, i'm giving up on WoW right now, at least for now, things in my actual guild are pretty weird. So... enter the Requiem!!!

A friend send me a webpage of a new game made by Gravity (Ragnarok Online, <3 good times) so i decided to try it out... and i like it. Not so much, it's not WoW, but it's pretty decent. Though it's rated M (a lot of gore and shit) it's nice to switch games. It's on Open Beta for now and while i wait for AoC release (same way i'm waiting from a response to the guild i app'ed to lol) might be nice to have another distraction.

I'm still going to do my arena matches to raise my ratings and to see if i can get my sword before S4 hits live... but then, i don't know... maybe a break from the game is just what i need...

- Edit -

It would've been a good idea to link the page amirite?

In case you want to check the game out, i'm playing in Valdes server, /w Kotonoha :D

Mot%$@#~� RMP Teams

Ukyo — Thu, 15 May 2008 10:05:32 GMT

Yeah, i hate those teams. Specially when you get fully S3 Geared RMP teams in the 1600~1700 brackets. Today we lost around 56 (maybe more) points to this setup (only 1 team). We ran into 5, maybe 6 RMP teams, and only took down 1 both times.

I was doing arenas to grind some points, since i'm pretty much out of the raiding circle for now (still waiting for a response on the other guild) and see if i can get my S3 sword before the patch hits Live. We got some pretty weird teams, and then the RMP fuckers. All of them were S3 geared (and i mean GEARED, with weapons n shit, i think even the gems were S3), and we won... what, 1 game of 12?

The weird thing is... we were on the 1600~1700 bracket. I mean, wtf... Top Tier setups on that bracket? And after the ban/gear deleting for the point/team vendors? Come on!... It's hard enough to run with Warrior/Rogue/Priest, and that our priest gets all his fears resisted. Now i got to deal with fucking RMP teams that aren't even supposed to be in the same bracket as me? And losing 21 freaking points to them?

As you can see, today's post is just a simple rant, don't mind it, it'll go away when i wake up i guess... maybe not lol... oh well, tomorrow (today actually lol) will be a better day... hopefully >.<
