Anything Can Go Wrong

This post serves as a quick notepad on my quest to get the following item to increase my Druid Bear tanking capability. Do not read this if you’re not a WOW player or even a Druid tank.

10 Advantages of using Hunter
1. You have your own personal tank.
2. You will do as much damage as the mage next to you.
3. You have traps to freeze, slow, burn or mass burning the whole mob.
4. Since your pet does the tanking, you have cheap upkeep (provided if you don’t die).
5. You can freeze trap one, pet tank one and hold one to yourself. That’s 3 mob at a time. How cool is that?
6. Your pets can learn additional skills to maximize its damage and defense.
7. It is a fun class if you suddenly decided to play Survivor-specced.
8. The fastest class to level.
9. The most laid back class because there’s a high margin of error (you get to Feign Death to avoid combat).
10. 2 AOEs at the same time! Explosive trap and volley. Even a mage can’t do that.

You want to know what’s nuts? Today I finally can sit properly and got myself into a World of Warcraft game when I suddenly saw this…

The game was reported to have 1500 people or more at that particular point of time at the same place. Now you can just imagine the lag that we through with that place and it’s a surprise how Blizzard’s server can actually handle that many players at once.

Alright, surprise is over, time to get into my bedding.

Although World of Warcraft is a great game, it has been polluted these days with newbies asking for money. The worst ones just took the money and never even bother thanking you. Problem these days is that there are more new players than ever before and they simply never learned some WOW-etiquette.

As much as I would like to bash their heads with teak outdoor furnitures, I always believe that people will learn from mistake and hope this post will serve as a guideline for them to play well in the game.

1. Never ever ask for money. Old players hate new players that asked for money for a simple fact that we came from an era where gold is nearly impossible to earn. A single gold is huge money to us back then and therefore it is very precious to us. When some low level hunter come asking for 5 gold and will repay back in later date is usually taken very lightly.

2. Improve your English. Don’t just type ‘Wheres headorf’ and expecting people to understand what you are talking about. The players are not mind readers and therefore some will shoo you off the moment you make this kind of mistake. Be courteous and answer in kind and people will definitely take their time to answer you. Take time to type properly and if you did some typo, retype again stating with an apology: ‘Sorry, where’s Herod?’.

Man it suck when you’re unable to play World of Warcraft. My condition is in a way that gave me trouble sitting for a long period of time. To play WOW properly, you need at least 4-5 hours invested to get most of it. So I was out of commission when some of my guild buddies actually rang me up asking me when I can go in again.

However, practically the house could be so hot sometimes that it impeded me from playing. Perhaps I need good air purifiers? Think not as I still need time to recover.

My character hardly moved 2 weeks ago and most of friends that I made 3 weeks ago already reached the level caps. They were so nice that they even offered to help me to do some quest that I have trouble doing. I’m touched but I hardly play more than 30 minutes per session. Some of them understood my plight and always ask me how I’m doing every time they see me online.

Goes to show how great a good gaming community is.
