Warcraft Legendary Cloak Chain 0

So I finally completed the quest chain.  forced PvP.  Horrid grinding.  Just...ugh.

But it had its good points too.

So with MoP drawing to a close I'll be going back over my notes and write my own commentary on it.  Some of the writing was good, some of it was terrible.  The worst of course being anything having to do with Jaina.

......So I will be trying to be reasonable...

Wandering the Mists

So on 10/29 something strange and wonderful happened.  Well sort of.

Tides of War vs Theramore's Fall

While chatting with someone on Twitter (I got sucked into that deliciously evil time annihilator) they commented that they wished they could know how the opposing side's run went.  This sparked an idea so for @cuppy Ill be comparing the book vs the Alliance RP vs the Horde.

Of course this may spoil things like a sparkly vampire so beware.

Christie Golden said a few things in interviews that spoiled the plot and left me irritated but she also said something that I brushed off as hype.

RaF work

Edit
the basic logic this post was based upon is false.  The MoP patch changed some things.  Blizzard was made aware of this and apologized not that it did my efforts to get a monk to 90 any good.


Just a quick update on my RAF leveling setup for Mists of Pandaria.
For Hunters/Misc Ive got :10, 14, 5, 10, 12, 10, 7, 10
So 38 levels of Hunters.
An 80th Level DK in Alliance and a 73 Horde Shaman.
So so 48 levels there.

86 levels all told so just 148 levels to go :D

Tides of War - Spoilers!

Quick Summary: Yes its flawed but worth reading.  That said...

Wait before I say anything only read on if you want to have some of the book spoiled for you.

You were
warned.

So moving right along.

MoP, RaF, and Dual Boxing Part 2

I discussed the Recruit A Friend system Activision-Blizzard is going to let us use to power level our monks.  I've had a few questions and made some discoveries working upon it that are worth sharing.

I suggested pairing your main account with the RAF account to get a bunch of level 10 characters quickly.  Now there is a slight problem with that - a lot of us have full server lists.  In fact some of us are close to the 50 mark.  So, hm, what to do.

Get Some Pandaren Tail

I've run into some very strange arguments of late about the Red Panda tail, its use by Blizzard, and so on.  So lets start with the silliest one.

"The tails look nothing like a Panda's tail!"

This cutie is a Red Panda.  Their not big or black and white.  That gets us this.

They aren't identical because the Pandaren as a FANTASY race that DOESN'T EXIST is inspired by nature not copying it.

Just to give you an idea of their size difference here is a look at the Giant panda.

Blizzard Mists of Pandaria Beta Fail

When Blizzard announced they would offer you beta access I was excited.  I was willing to put my money where my mouth was and try their expansion and hopefully make it better instead of just complaining about bad stuff.

When blizzard kept the offer open I figured they hadn't met their goal in players.  Only to find out there were thousands subscribed and it was just going up..and up.

Female Pandaren teaser

The official World of Warcraft Twitter account linked this picture with the message

"She’s on her way -- March 19"

Now this has great promise to be curvy without being grotesque but I was struck by something...

PvP P

I laugh every time I say that stat name.  Seriously its like the Wii did anyone ever think about it?
*Ahem* Anyway..
For those of you that dont know Ghostcrawler (lead systems designer in WoW) said their removing resilience!  Then their replacing it with two that's that kinda do the same thing but dont.  This has lead to lots of questions and thoughts and since Im on the interwebs I feel the need to add my voice to the mob.

Ah Southpark they skewer some things
