Internet woes…

January 27th, 2009 David No comments

So my internet troubles continue…

Now into week 3! Download speeds are absolutely fine but there is a regular occurance of packet loss on very early hops in the path to my Warcraft gaming server which causes major lag spikes of up to 10 seconds and regular disconnections.

Not good to disconnect just before a Sapphiron air-phase!!

Priest Changes – 3.1

January 26th, 2009 David No comments

Well since I’m a priest in WoW this is hopefully good news for me as atm I am a bit jaded playing what I feel is a fundamentally broken class in comparison to the other healing classes (Druid/Shaman/Paladin)

From Ghostcrawler:

We have some exciting changes planned for priests. Many of them will make it in 3.1 (Ulduar). We hope to have them finalized enough to be able to announce some in the next couple of weeks, but that date might not work out for a number of reasons. The community has a way of overlooking all those caveats such as “at this time” or “assuming nothing changes” and suddenly we are “breaking promises.”

Well lets see what happens down the line maybe they will introduce something to make healing as a holy priest interesting and fun once again.

World of Warcraft – progression

January 25th, 2009 David No comments

Well since I find that I spend a high percentage of my free time playing World of Warcraft.

I thought that I would start to use my under utilised blog to give my thoughts on the game my progression in it and any other general ramblings that I may have.

Well since the expansion came out at the end of last year I’ve managed to level my main up to lvl 80 and begin end-game progression with my guild.

Up till now we’ve cleared the majority of 10 and 25 man content that is available so far in this expansion. The only instances missing are 25-man Eye of Eternity (Malygos) 10-man Sartharian (+ 2/3 drakes) and 25-man Sartharian (+ 1/2/3 drakes). I’m looking forward to completing the available content and getting ready for patch 3.1 where the new 10/25 man raid zone will be introduced, Ulduar.

Outside game but still Warcraft related I’m looking at combat log statistics as well as updating the website. Next on the website will be a link into our DKP system to show the most recent loots gained by our members during our raids.

I’ll try to keep this blog updated and I hope anyone who reads it finds it interesting. I’ll try keep topics as lively as I can!
