Struggling with real life and gaming choices+

I meant to write a post about how I would be taking a break from posting for a week or so as we just had a lot of stuff happening in the real world which needed focus. I just never got around to actually posting it though. My apologies. Struggling with Covid lockdown, mental health …

Mythic Musings

I have had a pretty good run with mythic+ lately, we may not have timed all of them, but we are pretty close, maybe with a little more work we would be able to get it there. However we did a run with the worst possible combination of Tyrannical, Raging and Necrotic. I did remember …

Mythic + Madness

Yes, you can read that title as Mythic+ Madness or Mythic plus Madness. Either way there are mythics being run which are both inducing madness to my mental state but also in large quantaties. I adore running dungeons. I would run dungeons pretty much non stop in this game if I could. I am only …

Pupper from hell – Shad’har Mythic Styles

Woah. What an eventful evening we had raiding on Wednesday. Just delightful and joyous I would say. We decided to extend instead of re-clear the 3 mythic bosses we can do. I fear for our lives when we have been told this is the easiest of the bosses and we are struggling so badly. Admittedly …

Here puppy, puppy, puppy.

Cute little doggie, maybe I got a milk bone 🙂 Let me start with the important stuff. WE GOT THE NBN!!! Our super fast internet – we haz it!! My initial test was 80 down/ 37 up. I am ecstatic. I had hoped, fingers and toes crossed we could be able to get close to …

Finally, I have some of the power of the dragons

I managed to wrangle Stabulouz to run me through a horrific vision a few days ago and when I say it was over before I realised we had started, I am not kidding. His DPS was like wildfire, just ripping through the place. We cleared Stormwind in about 20 minutes maybe? All 5 bosses done …

N’zoth the vagina with teeth

We have spent the last few months working our way through Nyalotha, we only recently got N’zoth down on normal mode. We had mostly cleared heroic before we went back and struggled on him in normal. We did eventually kill him by the seat of our pants – usual Warsong styles honestly. We didn’t really …

Such a great feeling!

We did yet another clear of Eternal Palace to the boss who is causing us so much stress. We haven’t had a decent crack at him in a couple of weeks due to numbers, so it was refreshing to see 15 people online all ready to smash him in the face. We one shot everything …

[eep] I tanked Normals :)

Let me start by saying, this happened in the week I was suffering from food poisoning. I had been working from home in an attempt to not take sick leave, my Dr later told me off for that and said I had to just rest. So my blog got updated instead 🙂 Food poisoning is …

Shared topic 42: What is your favourite role and why?

This week’s topic from Z and Cinder is a nice one: Do you love being the shield that protects your group, or the damage dealer that melts the mobs before you or the healer at the back shaking your head at the people standing in fire and giving you something to do? We’d also love …

Your absence is duly noted!

I would like to be able to give you some wonderful story of redemption, quests, adventure and dragons to explain where I have been,  sadly it is just life. Adjusting to a new routine is taking longer than expected and I honestly am not feeling great about it. I am highly stressed and missing a …

Shared: Topic 35: Your most badass moment in game

LOL We have long been the heroes of our own stories in World of Warcraft. NPCs, both minor and major alike, remind us constantly that we are the saviours of Azeroth; that if it weren’t for us, the world would have ended if we hadn’t have defeated that boss, or killed that pest, or scooped …

Someone pinch me…hard…

Or gentle…either way I can’t believe this at all. I had simply put this into the pile of things I might get done eventually but was giving up on actually believing it would happen. Craig messaged me a couple of days ago trying to convince me to come on a run and get myself carried …

Blizzard why did you betray me this way? After everything I have given you.

I cannot preface this post enough to explain how everything that follows stems from a deep sadness at being misled by Blizzard at a time that should have been amazing. I do not see the silver lining on this. We were going to run some mythics for the weekly quest however Michael was eating dinner; …

Mythics: 2 hours of time just gone…stupid Lower Kara

This is one of the mythics our group keeps running and we just cannot seem to get the bosses.  We normally give it a few attempts and then just call it quits.  Now though – we can say different. We had a purpose…Screw the timer and let’s just get it done for Michael so he …

Balance of power….I kid you not…still…

The illustrious Nelly’s raid for my nightshards was a pretty resounding success. Apparently my terrible drop rate was unusual and I should have gotten more.  Well they dropped in the raid. Every boss gave me something – thankfully. I am extremely grateful to this group of people for coming along and helping me smash through …

Torment of Friendship

Sometimes when you are in a guild, you feel like you have found a home. A place where you can have fun, relax, beat up some baddies and just enjoy even more time in Azeroth. I have never been one for guild halls as ideas because I would rather people be out and about in …

Mythics unlocked!

I was chatting to Nelly in guild about the balance of power questline and where I was up to which brought up how I still need to complete a mythic 15 for the purple bear. Admittedly, during that chat, I laid all the blame on our failure at the feet of our DPS.  We were …

and the balance of power continues

Forever…..and ever….it feels like the longest, longest quest line to want to complete. Seriously killing my patience, but with the release of BfA dates now I have to get it done. It is like a need in me. I have been doing a quest or to per day depending on what is required which I …

Balance of Power…..ongoing

As part of the quest chain to get reputation with the Nightfallen, I was required to do a couple of heroics (Acway and CoS). So whilst we were waiting for Oui to come home and do some mythics, I convinced Ben and Drew to run me through the heroics. I figured we would smash them …
