Why I love warcraft

Posted on by

Just a quick note before I get to the actual topic. Since starting this blog I’ve been posting as and when which is not the best way to start. So I’m going to set a schedule of posting which is three times a week. Monday, Thursday and Saturday seem like good days so I’ll go for them. Anyway, now onto topic.

For all it’s qualities swtor is still a new game. I, and everyone else, have only been playing it just a few short months. Warcraft has been around for over seven years now and I personally have been playing for just over two. Obviously this means my reasons for loving it are going to be different than those for swtor.

Love and Hate: A Tanking Relationship

Posted on by

I might not have any hard data to hand to back this up but I don’t think it’s wrong to say tanking is the role least people opt for. It’s tough and has good points and bad. I’m undoubtedly going to be in the minority when I say I love tanking 5 mans, (which is predominantly pug groups), and loathe tanking raids. Why? I hear you ask. Well that’s the point of this post.

Is it possible to RP without Roleplaying?

I became a grand champion of the great hunt on my Bounty Hunter yesterday. I’d reached level 33 and finally run out of rested xp. I don’t know if I’m a slow leveller, the fact that I just quest, or what but this levelling process seems to be taking a long time. This is far from a complaint as it is also extremely enjoyable. Anyway, having run out of rested xp I decided to stop playing for the evening but I still wanted to play swtor so I decided to roll my first alt – a Jedi Knight.

Advanced Classes – A Critical Error?

Posted on by

What I love most about swtor is the story. There’s a lot of other things I love about it but that’s the subject of another post. Swtor has eight classes, four for each faction. Each class has two advanced classes and then within those advanced classes there are three specs. For warcraft players specs are a familiar concept as each class in warcraft also has three specs. Like in swtor these specs can be changed for a fee but that’s where the similarity ends.

Time warping the heroism

Last night started out as a standard friday night raid, sure things weren’t perfect as only 9 profession raiders had turned up but we’d pugged a random guildie and headed to kick dragon butt anyway. This random guildie was a mage, we already had a mage in the group who usually ran on their resto druid but we’re used to duplicate classes. Anyway, fast forward we had to do a character shuffle before Hagara as one of the tanks had to leave which is when this problem reared it’s head.

Insert standard opening title

First post of the blog, the one where you go “hello this is my blog”. How boring is that? Instead lets skip straight to the good stuff.

Last night my faithful iPhone 3GS stopped working. I updated the software and it stopped recognising my sim card, wouldn’t restore and was basically broken. I took it to the store and they managed to get it working again but warned me that there was an underlying hardware fault. With it being two and a half years old and the hard use it’s had I wasn’t surprised. What did surprise me was being told that I could get a free upgrade. Fast forward and I’m now the owner of a new shiny iPhone 4S which is where the game stuff comes in.
