EPIC FAIL

|

I had an interesting lunch today and today another asshole got his EPIC FAIL award. I was on my way to Computer Deli to pick up some stuff, and pulled onto I-72 toward Veterans. I'm not even doing the speed limit yet, and I'm passing some cars to get in preparation to merge into the left lane. The right lane is closed ahead due to construction. The last car I pass, a really nice Jaguar, decides to gun it in and cut me off preventing me from getting into the lane ahead of him. Now, I'm in no way shape or form racing anyone in my little 4 banger Hyundai, let alone a nice Jaguar like this. Maybe if I was in my old Camero, I'd be eating the road with him as a snack but I digress. Unlike him, I actually pay attention to the road. As he is passing me, he is point at me and laughing through his passenger side window. Little did he notice that the suv/mini van in front of him was slowing down. As he is laughing at me, he plows right in to the vehicle in front of him! As they pull over to the left side median, I wave at the guy as I pass by him in my little Elantra.

Good game jackass!

The Coming Cataclysm and Advent Knights

|

My fellow Knights,

It's been a while since our unloved and neglected blog has been used. So I wanted to show some love, and communicate with everyone about the next WoW expansion. The consensus among most of us, is new. New adventure, new experience, out with the old, in with the new kind of stuff. What better time to do that, is with WoW: Cataclysm. In the next expansion as most of you already know, Azeroth is getting changed.... DRASTICALLY. Though fan favorite quests will still be there, the rest is getting replaced by new quests and story lines.

This time around we will be starting over. Hello level 1 noob. Granted not everyone HAS to do this, but those that want to are more than welcome to join those of us who do. Not everyone is going to have the ability to create a new character on Doomhammer. Luckily, my reason's to stay on Doomhammer was removed with the advent of Battle.net friends lists. We will be able to chat with those who are on our friends list across faction and server. So the idea is to start on a new/low pop server. Which will be chosen a few weeks before launch. Probably during the events leading up to the launch.

The point of all of this is to get back to our roots. Why we play the game, and to have fun. let me tell you, it was great raiding with you all, but I want to enjoy the game. Hang with my friends, level and experience the game instead of making it a job or chore. We won't be rushing from level 1, to max level what ever this time around. We won't be working to raid as soon as possible. We're going to take our time, and experience the game. From the beginning to possible end. Every instance, every raid in order. Though we won't have 40 players to do Blackwing Lair, or AQ 40. We can go back at higher levels and get them done with fewer players.

Advent Knights, the guild is probably going to be going through something new as well. This time around, I want to try and cultivate a solid guild from the ground up. It may work it may not. Since we are starting out new, I'm taking a new approach to building this guild. We will have some headaches, but it's something I'm willing to try. At the start, we can build our guild. With simple rules, no complicated guild charter, or requirements. At least not until the guild has grown to a certain unset number or age. Anyone can join as long as they aren't jerks, respectful to others in and out of the guild, be helpful to the guild, and don't start drama. Anyone that agrees to that, gets an instant invite. No pressure to raid, no pressure to do anything but have fun and socialize. I am talking to a few people from work about joining us, and will be talking to a few of my friends on Doomhammer into joining us too. If possible, I may transfer one of my characters from Doomhammer to the new server to give us startup funds for the guild creation, bank slots, etc.

Faction, I truly am torn between doing Alliance or Horde. For horde, it can be a truly new experience as I haven't been through most of Azeroth on horde since the original launch. The other half of me wants to play Worgen. After seeing video of what they have done with the Worgen, I really want to play that race more than anything. Most of us feel the same way. So I'm fairly certain we'll be sticking with Alliance.

For me, I'll be playing differently this time around. Before, I always groomed my characters for tanking, or healing. This time around I'm grooming for DPS. As I have never really focused on being that kind of player. So I may go Worgen Rogue. Another part of me is wanting to go for the pinnacle of transformation, and playing a Worgen Druid for the first time....ever. It's funny thinking that not only would be character change into a Worgen, but can also change into a cat, bear, tree, and moonkin. lol I know at this moment that I say this, I could play a Worgen Shadow Priest but could get pigeon holed into being healer again.

Here are the roles that have been mentioned to be playing.
Tanks: Nykk, Kirathis
DPS: Grexis ? I assume Geeon will be this as per usual. :)
Healer: ?
