    Weighing in on the forum Real ID issue

    Posted on July 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Yeah, I could get behind the use of Real IDs and real names contained entirely in the game (in the form of Real ID chat), but I can’t even try to start and defend what they’re doing with the forums in Cataclysm. I feel certain...

    Real ID: here’s some info, now stop with the righteous indignation

    Share this post with your friends. I was going to write an actual post about numbers and the top 5 specs for each class from data mined from the top 20 PvE guilds in the world, but instead, I’m going to just put this all...

    Cata raid stuff

    Cata raid changes: for what I would probably say anyway, see Euripedes here. 10man raiding never really felt like raiding an instance for 10 players. Instead, we were traipsing through 25 player content that was lobotomized for us. It isn’t easy being a strict(ish) 10...

    With thanks to @demeternoth and @stormcrack, and apologies to the Beatles, our take on going to Vashj’ir in a submarine. On the realm where I was born Lived a gnome who sailed to sea And he told us of his raids In the land of...

  • Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    Death Knight Cataclysm preview, much like everyone else

    Posted on April 9, 2010 | 2 Comments
    I feel this dog pretty accurately sums up my reaction to the preview. The shaman preview made me have to change my pants with joy; the warlock preview kinda sucked until I realized it was mostly outright or stealth buffs to my all-time favorite tree,...

    Witty blood pun here

    So Tart was nice enough to shoot me a copy of the blue post featuring Ghostcrawler’s so called "Blood bomb" regarding DKs getting a legitimate tanking-only tree in Cataclysm. I wasn’t totally surprised – I’d already been hearing rumors to that effect for a while,...

    Apologies for the sudden unexpected silence. I’ve had bits and pieces of posts bouncing around in my head; none of them fully fleshed themselves out, so here they are glued together into some semblance of a post. Patch 3.3.3 for DK tanks And yes, no...

    Random dungeons and UI redesign

    Posted on December 10, 2009 | 2 Comments
    Random dungeons: LFG works well now. It works scary well. It also has a sense of humor: my first instance after joining the queue for a random instance? Heroic Trial of Standing Around in One Room. Thanks, I wanted to go straight back here, how’d...

    This is not about my impressions of 3.3

    Posted on December 9, 2009 | 4 Comments
    That, if I decide to do it, will come tomorrow. I’d have to find something different to say from what I’ve already said, though. The problem is that patch day and my weekly real-life gaming night fall on the same day, so by the time...
