Elyvern

Progression has stalled in both my mage’s and warrior’s guilds. Disconnections during Felmyst have been plaguing us, and a recent spate of hackery and people taking the opportunity to jump ship have resulted in a guild playlet and reshuffling in my warrior’s guild.

It all started out when the GM got hacked. In the middle of the night, the hackers stripped all her characters, cleaned out the guild bank, and transferred her main character off the server. To do that, they had to disband...

Raids are winding down. My mage's guild is still stuck at Felmyst, not because of the boss per say, but because of the dreaded DC bug that causes a quarter of the raid to disconnect during the breath phase. I'm one of the unlucky bunch that keeps DCing. And lemme tell ya, it's a grave insult that I keep getting asked to drop my graphic details to the lowest when I just busted my wallet on a new comp (2.80g quad core overclocked, 8g ram, ATI 4870 gfx overclocked).

Yesterday, I raided...

We downed Brutallus! Now we can say our Kalecgos kill wasn't a fluke! I did my personal best at 2015 dps for one of the attempts. It's nothing to write home about, but as a mage, it's a milestone in my raiding career.

And on to more frivolous news...

My warrior recently got his T5 shoulders and to say that it was an itch I have been longing to scratch is an understatement. I remember seeing my main guild's MTs getting theirs over a year ago and being terribly impressed...

That's what one of my buddies tells me.

TBC is almost over and I'm pretty sure there are quite a number of people out there who are also intensively grinding alts so they have a nice pool of lvl 70s to choose a new main from when WotLK hits the shelves.

But there is a difference between me and the next person suffering from "alt-tinis". I'm psychologically incapable of abandoning toons. I can't get a toon to 70 and leave them alone. I'd be running instances...

Currently, my mage's guild is onto Brutallus, with two tries last week trying to hit the enrage timer without any deaths. This upcoming week, we will be tweaking group setups for maximum dps to burn him down.

I burned through 4 dps flasks, 40 destruction pots, 10 flamecaps, several dps oil flasks and stacks of dps food during last week's attempts. All in all, I must've spent around 400-500g on repairs and consumables. Still, I enjoyed it immensely. It's been a while since I'd face...
