The Voidwalker was great. But part of his skill also is that you can pretty much consume him for some invulnerability time. How cool is that?

So I used the succubus for the first time last night. I very rarely use the above ability, but when I want it, I REALLY want it. Big blue marchmallow puff is back at my side. Probably smug about it too.

I hate to admit it, but there was some joy in sending her into fights and listening to the noises she made as she got slapped around.

The succubus smacks herself too often. It's like a porn Nintendo theme. Repetitive.

Yep, found this out the hard way.

Shadow priests rock no matter what you're using. You're going to get badasser and badasser and badasser and it's never going to end.

Right now, he's dying. Not in a good spot in a particular quest he's on, as he is learning a new equation the hard way.

aaand that's going on my guild forums

 

[Homburg]

Hahaha! Great post, SD!

--

On other topics, people are rude about invites in WoW, at least on my realm. I can't tell how many times I've been in some area and gotten guild invites, no explanation. Or guild charters electronically shoved in my face. Or group invites. Send a fucking tell, damn.

I mean, honestly, is there some benefits to random bodies in your guild? Because I can't imagine what sort of quality organisation you will build by spamming invites at every swinging dick in Orgrimmar.

The other night, I actually GOT a tell from someone asking if I wanted to join his guild. I started talking to the guy because it was so novel that someone would attempt conversation prior to the guild invite. I actually decided to give him a shot.

It's like the WoW version of random strangers grabbing your ass, and deciding to go home with the one person who actually attempted to make conversation. Honestly, I don't know what's so goddamned attractive about the male orc warlock I play, but I get frikken invites all the damned time.

I want to start a guild named <F'Off, I'm soloing>

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

I actually have my own guild (for the guild bank)

it's called "Just Another Bank Toon"

 

[Nymphomaniacal]

It's not your male orc butt they want. You are guildless and probably standing in a city (ie.. within spitting range of the vendor that sells guild charters)... so anytime someone makes a novelty guild (like the private bank Abraxas mentioned) they have to round up 10 signatures before they can get their vault & tabbard.

there are 2 ways to get 10 signatures; spam everything that moves and lacks a guild tag under it's name, OR go on the trade channel and offer to pay for them. Sometimes up to 5gp a signature.

Sucks but there it is. If you don't like it, the only way to stop it is to get a guild...

as for the constant trade/ party spammers.... I frickin hate those too. At least you can disable trade spam now, by enabling the option to block all incoming trades. Party spam is one of the ways that gold sellers get around being reported... eventually blizz will get around to fixing it so they can still be reported for it (if they haven't already).

I've mailed people 2gp tips for sending me a tell instead of spamming me... but then i used to spend ridiculous amounts of time milling gold out of the AH, so i generally had a little to spare. Ultimately i just created my own guild (for the peace and quiet as much as for the private vault space)...

My private guild was called "Auction House Blues," my tabbard had a pile of gold coins on a blue background.. of course.

But WAIT! There is another option!

You have friends with alts, and other peoples acct info and make THEM sign your charter.
Thats what I did for my bank alt. I had friends with friends accts and had them all sign then kicked them out for my bank tabs. Im so uncreative though. <Bank Alts> would be the name of my guild.

However I have had some interesting guild names. I went from <Solis> to <Ride That Donkey> to <Nexus> and now <The Grateful Dead>. God help me.

 

[jockdom]

The thing that gets on my goat in wow is the constant spamming, by carachters usualy called, fggyfdgoijtrd advertising cheap gold. (Thank god for the ignore button. Or when some one you don't know whispers you "Hi are you there?" When you reply they offer you cheap gold! Grrrrr

People that invite you into a party with out whispering first are a pain aswell.

I was doing UK HC the other day with 4 swedes ,the chat was like something out of the muppet show!

Rant over.

this makes me curious. where are all my fellow liters? i'm mostly on aerie peak atm

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

So I've let my WoW chars transfer to another server (free private server), so I could play with my nieces and her bf. And I am glad we can play together now, but I am pissed I've lost all my reputation, my epic gear and all my flypoints. Even my rogue lockpick skill is gone , but I should have that back, hopefuly!! Now I am just thinking if it all was worth it. lol

Thanks God they gave me at least a mount, so I can ride. Would go nuts if I had to walk to renove all the flypoints! I get free complet T3 set for a start, but seriusly purple armor for lvl 60 sucks for my 70 lvl rogue, oh well its better than nuthing. Now I am trying to get some proper armor and some good weapons, again. I dont have a clue how I am gonna get back my reputation though! I was exalted with many fractions, I am really a bit pissed about that.

Seems I will have to do all the quests over again to get my reputation back! *grrrrrrrrrrrrr*

 

[Recidiva]

Funny. I saw this DAOC video. I think it translates well to any online gamer if you just switch a few words around.

This is the sort of gamer humor that you WILL NOT GET if you don't do online gaming. I think it also relates to WoW as long as you know the basics of leveling, player versus player, raid, sudden death and crafting.

Although there's one section "perfed by an assassin" - there's a move called "perforate artery" where the assassin has to be RIGHT in front of you. They're stealthed, so you can't see them, usually, but their face comes into focus exactly one nanosecond before you die. They have a chance to oneshot you. Some of these guys are Lurikeen or kobold, who look like the Grinch and/or Yoda. I remember the first time I was perfed. HOLY SHIT. I don't think any game other than DAOC has given me quite the same flavors of adrenaline rush.

I'm rather desperately looking for an audio clip of the tree pet/mob in DAOC. Still looking.

Also, unrelated but on the zombie topic:

"No More Kings" featuring Troy.

I requested their CD for my birthday. I LOVE them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkk6IMm5Z8Q

"And all the zombies in the house say OH!"

"uurrrrggghhh..."

"And now I speak with all the eloquence of...livestock..."

Ok... I've gotta hear that one! ROFL!!!!

 

[Recidiva]

Ok... I've gotta hear that one! ROFL!!!!

I love those guys. They'll get stuck in your head if you're lucky.

 

[Mistress_Belladonna]

I kind of miss playing D&D sometimes. Some really memorable encounters from forgotten realms. Like the time one of my arms got cut off, and started attacking me, and I had to beat my sword arm to death with my shield... yeah.. good times.

ROFL!!! Oh yeah... those are great times! I loved stuff like that. In a campaign with good friend... he was a paladin, I was an assassin. We HAD to work together! And the time the tough paladin couldn't beat off a giant rat, too damn funny, especially when my assassin had to save him. I've never seen anyone roll that many critical misses in my LIFE!!! And boy was he mad! You'd think I offered to sacrifice his first-born or something! Actually, I might have! Oops... carry on!

 

[Recidiva]

I got a cool game present the other day. Camelot has housing, and the houses run from cottage 1 plat, house 5 plat, villa 10 plat, mansion 25 plat. Now 1 plat is 1000 gold, lots of money.

Someone who was retiring from the game just handed me their mansion. It's unbelievably huge and it will take me forever to furnish and decorate it and even a bit of a stretch to just keep up with the rent. But it's gorgeous and has a huge tree growing up through the middle of the house. It's bigger inside than it is outside, with about five floors and rooms for tables and chairs and chess matches, crafting stations, vendors...it's awesome. I'm not done yet just running around shouting "WHEEEE!" and sliding down banisters.

Someday it'll look like this - guild banners and landscaping I have to save up for. You even get a porch with a vendor where you can sell your loot or crafts.

I've only ever bought cottages.

http://larianlequella.com/images/sshot002.jpg

 

[Homburg]

Wow, that's impressive. How much is the rent?

 

[Recidiva]

Wow, that's impressive. How much is the rent?

They've lowered the prices. It used to be 2 plat a week. (part of the reasons I've only ever bought cottages in the past)

But now it's 100 gold a week. But it gets repossessed if you don't pay the rent.

So I've paid four weeks (the max) in advance and I'm raising the money to furnish it.

 

[Homburg]

Fantastic money sink. How do they prevent the habitable areas from looking like UO slums?

[Recidiva]

Fantastic money sink. How do they prevent the habitable areas from looking like UO slums?

If you don't pay (and you can only pay four weeks in advance at any time, so you have to at least log in once a month and plunk your money down) the house gets repossessed. And then it's an empty lot. Housing here is an entirely different expansion thing. It's not in town, it's its whole set of separate zones. Very cool. It's gorgeous.

 

[Mistress_Belladonna]

Long, long ago in a game far, far away

Used to play Call of Cthulhu... one of my fave characters was an Italian gangster who was the sole survivor of our first adventure which ended in a cave-in trapped with some nasties.... and left him sans sanity points so that he had to be committed. When he was released he was claustrophobic and afraid of the dark.

Our second adventure (after finding new team-members) was to the Carpathian Mountains where he got bitten by a Vampire. Next time anyone sees him, he's a garlic-loving (who's deathly allergic to the stuff), claustrophobic, afraid of the dark Vampire! He was one fun character to play!

And my online gaming experience, was many years ago and mostly with UO where my fave character was a man. A pirate (and lady's man) by the name of Alistair Dare who ended up a seriously kick-ass character with a fleet of 15+ boats. (Gave most of them away along with "anti-piracy lessons"!) Had battles with other pirates... or concerned citizens who kept doing silly things like leaving their boats unlocked! Sheesh! Just asking for it if you ask me! Anyway.... I spent WAY too much time on the game and could navigate ANYWHERE in the world in a three point maneuver without anything other than the little compass map in the corner. Can any say... "Get a fu**in life!"? LOL But it was a blast!
