A Hunter's Story

Slow Stuffs

by Xanther on Mar.05, 2010, under World of Warcraft

Had a couple slower groups last night, when running for the Frost Badges. Didn’t mind too much, because it made it easier, but it also made me think about how fast we’re now running dungeons. Makes me think back to the days of doing a trash pull, getting mana back, doing a trash pull, etc. In some ways it makes me sad that the dungeon’s aren’t really challenging, that we can just crush through. But at the same time, there are new challenges – like how fast you can go, how large of a pull can the group handle, and so on.

But the other thing I realized is that WoW slowed down a LOT for us this week… Been working on Loremaster. Which, of course means we had to get back to grinding up Steamwheedle Cartel. We got it down to about 650/700 quests in Kalimdor before we hit a wall and couldn’t get any new quests. So here’s my tip for the day – do Loremaster before The Insane. And if you want to make it even easier, do Bloodsail, then Loremaster, then The Insane. But really the key is doing Bloodsail first, before you’ve burned all the quests that’ll give you rep w/ the Cartel. That way you only have to grind up to Neutral, and can quest a huge chunk. But yeah, regardless, grinding the quests & rep makes the game go slow. My tip for that, is to put on a movie, get a comfy chair instead of your computer chair, and put the alcohol w/in reach, lol. Ok fine, not too much alcohol, but a beer or two can make the grind go by quicker. Or maybe that’s just because I love beer, lol. But the comfy chair idea is really good. Lady X agrees ;)

Oh, and sry for not dropping in links. I’m at work (yes, on vacation and I’m at work at night… already stated I wasn’t too happy about a few things…) and not even at my desk, so no mouse, no power, and I have to monitor like 10 ppl. But oh well, c’est la vie! And ‘sides, home soon, WoW soon, and Loremaster soon!!!
