MoP is out! and OMG Pandaria is so pretty!

I been away from WoW for almost a month,  and been back now for about a week or so, and Im liking MoP. I do wish some things were left alone,  but in time, Im sure things will be ok and we will get used to the changes. I love the setting of pandaria,  although I have yet to get past the starting land of becoming level 86, lol.  As of now Im still at level 85, but almost at 86 at least. I been having fun playing with the  companion pet battle feature and now have  some pets at level 10, lol.  Its so funny (or not) how we all worked soooo hard to get  geared up  at level 85 and spent tons of gold and time getting materials for making things  to get our i-level up and, now with MoP, we are replacing epic items with rare blue text items at just under lvl 86, lol. I guess its the same feeling everyone had with the coming out of cata, and all the rest of the expansions.

In time, Ill post some links of sites I been told of that helps with setting up toons  with glyphs and such. I am sure they are out now but I have yet to even look them up to see if they updated with rotation for  max dps and all that goes with maxing out all abilities of other toons. Until then,  enjoy and have fun till u get to level 90, lol.  bye for now  o:)

Exalted with guild, new toons, and the next expansion!

Herrooo  o:)       ,   I say  that with my smiley every time I  run random Hour of Twilight dungeons and the que pops to enter dungeon, lol.  Well,  alot has gone on lately with wow,  with the new expansion on the horizon and everyone scrambling to raise their gold and some materials, its been interesting to say the least with the auction house prices and all. My guild experience continues to be the greatest,  no news on that, just,   so happy to have been  exalted for some time now and unlike in the other guilds I been  with,  I actually find myself often going to the guild vault and putting in materials for raid stuffs whenever I can,  even searching good pricing in ah to fill up on things I see running low, lol. I know  what I said before with that "other" guild but this one,  just  truly is home to me in wow, and it truly has been a pleasure to contribute and help the teams,  and simply , just have pride in the guild as a whole, and be an example to others who join in,  to be helpful, to be nice, to treat the person rather than just the toon, and have fun.

Being exalted  has been  for me,  an achievement I really thought Id never find. It just took the right guild,  the right group of ppl who have the same sense of game play,  sense of togetherness  to help out,  and not just ignore the guildies.  Helping for me  in wow,  IS my fun after all,   and it makes me feel useful,  and happy after, as when they reach points that may even surpass my lvl of play, and to help others as I and others in guild have them. That is how WoW shud be imho.

Lately, in guild,  we now have two groups for raiding, so now   some ppl can raid with guild and not be left out, Group one  mostly is the original group running weekends,  group two is the weekday raid group which I am in, unless I  run heroics with another group. In guild we are not in heroics as of yet,  but I wud love to see it soon. My friend, whom I can safely consider a close friend/partner in "pew pew", has taken the lead spot of group two, and I know he will do an awesome job. What he and I  been doing alot,  is  trying to pick apart every tiny aspect of  the raid, and everything in wow for that matter, to find improvements on survival of group and individuals, better dps (damage per second), and basic and complex mechanics of bosses in raids. He fully analyzes everything and takes notes,  compares on paper what goes on and what can be, testing ideas and finding the better path on becoming successful in fights as a group, and for individuals alike.

Conversations in chat with my friend , on  raid subjects  get pretty extensive ,  and after we figure something, we realize,  couple hours have gone by, LOL. But we get alot done, figuring stuff,  testing,  creating macros, (he is the true macro king) and in the end we hope it works in group. At times I feel as if our priorities on whether sleep or raid convo/game play has switched places, lol.  I really enjoy the challenges in the "figuring out" and testing, and even if debates come out, we find a resolve on the subject and become better at what we were trying for, and ultimately,  I feel we have become closer as friends in our goals  in the game from it all. It is rare I find anyone I connect with so well,  it is my hope that it continues and what we make of our time benefits the guild as it has benefited our own as far as skill and knowledge goes,  and chemistry of good ppl working together, and growing in friendships..

As far as new toons,  my friend and I have created Worgan toons together lately, and have been putting time on them at our  day's (or night's) end. We have reached lvl 25 as of last night,  or was it this morning?,    lol,  our time patterns are so bad on sleep patterns, lol.   He made his a rogue,  and mine is another hunter. I love hunters, and wish all my toons were hunters. My friend wants to learn all the classes of toons so he  learns the skills of each to adapt that knowledge to becoming a better raid leader. He is an elitist at heart, but one that helps, and dont nit-pik at silly things like equipped gear thats not perfect,  in fact  if  theres  a way to improve someone's gear and they are willing to become better geared,  we help them,  run them thru some HoTs hoping for nice drops, or farm for mats to make them gear.

On my end of everything with my goals in game,  Im seeking to get into  Dragon Soul Heroics. I have found a group, and have run one raid with them so far. My goal is,  to learn the raid,  learn  other's strategy, gear up with heroic gear and ultimately bring the guild into heroics. Although our guild is a casual raiding guild, we want to bring our guild into the heroic ranks, without the elitist drama of most other guilds. So really we want to get heroics started in a way it is still fun, and welcome all in guild to try it, learn it, and eventually make heroics a casual raid experience that progresses comfortably, as we do in normal DS. On a side note, my goal is to continue my progression in my gear, and achieve getting heroic best in slot gear, along with gaining  more knowledge in fights in heroic raiding, the mechanics of group positions and strategies, and how to adapt my style, or improve on it altogether. I am sure by the time I get heroic gear,  Ill have useless gear compared to  what will be in the new expansion, lol. but its a goal,  if its reached then thats good. It will only make MoP easier for me, lol,   for a lil while anyways.

Mists of Panderia,   hmm,   another 40 dollars to blizz, lol. Expansions!, lol.   Well,   the saga continues,  the Lore grows,  the game changes,  good for some, bad for others,  many will nerd rage and quit wow for a while,  others will love it,   the rest will adapt and continue play. For me,  I  really was liking the way it is,  but all I can do  is  see how things will be, and hope its  a good change, although Im not liking the fact we will lose mass ress and guild summons. Blizz wants players to travel more in the world...    of warcraft, and to me that wastes time,  game time we pay for, traveling over places we been to  50 million times, time that we can use actually doing stuffs, but oh well, at least we will have the ability to get the faster flight training at a very expensive 9000 gold, lol. Save up ppls!   lol  ,  It will be ok Im sure.  Ppl were hating  the changes when Cataclysm came out,  and now   no one  says much of anything on it,  lol. So we will see.

The question everyone asks... "Cant wait to roll a panda/monk?"  , LOL,  ya,  what does that mean?,     A new  race is  introduced in wow in MoP,   Pandaren,   Monk  is  a class, far as  I kno,  and I hear its   very versatile, as far as,  it can  be, if I recall correctly, dps,  heals,  and tank.  I will    update more on this  as I learn more of the subject.  Either way,   I may "roll" a panda. In other words,   create and lvl up a Pandaren toon. And it most likely will be a hunter, lol.

All in all, alot has gone on  in wow, and I feel happy because Im in the company of great ppl, a great guild, and true friends I never met, lol. Ya it sounds funny that way, but  for at least 75% of anyone in wow, that is how it is, but it is a true honor for me to get to know my WoW friends and be welcome to kill pixel baddies alongside them few days a week, if not everyday, LOL. Overall with most, I  feel comfortable   with my guild,  I share my real name with them, some have my real id, and can see me online  on any toon/realm I may be on/in. Real ID  puts more of the real person in game thats otherwise just a toon name with friends. I like to be known as Jenn instead of just "Bg" but  I know,  like me  some ppl are hard to recall real names. Oh, now that it came up, Ill explain, lol (although it is known easily here in my blog),  the  running joke of my having Bg in my toon names.....,   its not meant for "BattleGrounds"   its abbreviation for BOOTEDGIRL,  my rl nickname.  when I first  joined WoW, I did not know  what bg stood for in game,  and so,  I hear in trade chat  alot about  bgs,  lol,  good and bad,    always  talking about  bg, lol. Im so popular, :P   I get asked to join in PVP teams, or  join up for battlegrounds.    lol,      anyhoo, I really dont like pvp stuffs,      its just funny,        we have fun with the "Bg" thing,   just  all in fun   with  good ppl in a fun game.

I look forward to  getting back to the game,  its  a good way to pass my time when Im home, and, when things get better RL, Ill be sure to put time in wow to help out  however and whenever I can, long as Im able to.  o:)         This post sure got big, being written and saved as draft last few days, lol. This last part is all I typed today as I post it up, lol. Bye for now and be well, and Ill  update more when I can.  o:)

Guild experience update, finally a gud wun!

Well, its been  a while since I  posted anything new, lol.   I  been  quite busy in game (WoW), and I have had alot of fun. I Joined another guild,  and I must say,  I am  so very happy with this group of kind hearted ppl. I kno  I  said I wud  post updates of  my guild experiences from when I left that  "other"  guild of nerdo serious game play mentality players.  I  did join  a couple guilds in between that "one" and the guild Im in now.  I joined one guild,  after that "one",  but they were far more into pvp, killing  hordies that not much else got done as far as raiding is concerned, so I switched to another guild and thot it was nice but they too rarely  did raids and eventually fell apart for some reason recently so I moved my alts from there to the guild Im in now.

I have been very busy since and have found  many  good ppl  in this guild.  I  have   been  playing alot with  another hunter who had rejoined the guild from being gone from wow for a while,  and  I  helped him   update stuffs  some and now   we   help eachother alot and that is what makes the game  for me alot of  fun. You prolly can figure who this hunter is by my screenshots  viewing who Im grouped with alot, lol.   I   have  even found  good ppl in   random dungeons as well,  from other countries, lol,  and   spent some time with them too,   between  guild  runs and  stuffs.  I seriously have never had so many Real ID friends on my WoW list before, lol. Many I have talked to  that are not in my guild ask me to join theirs,   saying I wud be of great help to their guildies and such,  lol,  but,   Im   staying  in this guild.   o:)   I can still help  them  while being in my guild,        its just too bad those who ask me are actually the guild masters of the guilds  Im asked to join, lol.  It must be  they see the guild Im in and kno its a good guild to be in.  ;)

Since I have been  in this guild ,  I  hear  alot of times,   many  have  come to this guild  because of the great ppl in it.  Many are real life friends of many years,   some are  whole families. There are  some married couples too,  and their kids as well. This guild, truly  does feel like a family for sure,  :))   .     And  this is why,  I   feel Im   here to stay.  Im now  almost exalted after  two months   being in this guild.  Im  finally    at home  with them,  and it makes  my  game time sooo  worth it to me now.   If  guild rankings  were measured purely by the quality of the members ,  this guild wud be top.   Like  the convo I had after a DS run with a fellow girl guildie, lol..     It is the  ppl in this guild that  has  made ppl decide to move their toons over to this  realm (Uther) so that they can join  and  play alongside truly kind, full hearted ppl, who place  the real person behind the toon first,  instead of just the toon.

Thank you all  for making me feel  at home,  I  truly feel  happy being a guildie, and   now to be a CobraCoreRaider,   I  really feel happy to be able to contribute what I can for guild achievements.

I will be posting more screenshots up on my screenshot thread found here

I just wanted to thank the thankable...

I want to thank those who did  help me in guild,  who did treat me right,  and fairly,  and did not  say things in vent about my grammar or how I type in chats.   Just an FYI to those who complain about my grammar, typoness/silly chat talk,    I type only with my right hand,  minus my pinky cuz I broke it few yrs ago and thru the crap I gone thru last few yrs I  have  not been able to use it becuz it hurts after a lil bit of use. So.  I type with just  three fingers and thumb of only my right hand.   So,  you see how  screwed up those who commented about my way of typing were to me. I type the silly way I do to sorta hide my typos,  I cope and deal with my limitations, make due with what ability I do have still.        

 The  way things went in guild,  started nice,  but,     when I ask how we  go thru rank promotions,  Im  directed to first tab info of guild bank.  OK, so I  read it and  understand it, then  when time comes I  ask  about   what else  we must do for promotion,  and Im ignored,  no answer,   except a lil bit later I get  a wisp saying  they not got promoted till well after a month.  How do you  expect moral to be healthy within guild if you dont HONOR what you  set as guildlines to promotion of rank in guild?   OK,   so,  forget about putting stuff into guild vault,  since you cant use it to help yourself upgrade your toon with anything you bank. When I asked  how we can get mats when needed,  Im told  that its just for  officers.  What?,   just officers?,   so,    you mean   the  explanation of guild told to me when I was  going to join was a lie?,    Musta been..    becuz thats what I was told,   OK,  forget about  guild bank  being of use to guildies in need unless your an officer,  or friend of one who can access,  because I did in fact  read in chat  someone ask and  get answered with  an ok,  np,  one sec.  MMHMM,  lol,   anyhoo,    with all that aside,        Vent,    a way to have voice within guild,        also  a way for those to feel they can  talk about others  behind their backs   till they log in.    Oh ya,  I heard stuff said,   and then they stop when  the one   mentioned logs in.     Hell, I even heard comments about my typing in vent,      then in  guild chat  I read,  " its not about you",   whatever  ,    I not dumdum,      but I guess being a girl in WoW   , Im not   a   person worth respecting.   OK,   forget about vent.

 Now,       you see  my reasons to stay?,   not much huh?.        Alright,       besides      being ignored alot by  guildies in chat,   besides    getting  all  raid invites in my calendar taken away after April 5th raid invite, which still shows up in my calendar by the way.  ( Oh ya, I had invites to tues and thurs raids, then all poofed from my calendar!)       ...Besides   being  just a guildie noob to  most of  the guild,       I just  want to say to those who got mail in world leading you here:   Thank you for being a friend.  Sadly you are the few that held up to the  greatness explained to me about the guild  by the one who invited me.

Sadly, that one who invited me to guild  also  said  I had bad grammar in vent just after I left. LOL,  "A mature no drama guild,  willing to help you gear up!"    lol,   ya,   Ill  agree with the help u gear up part,  thats all,    the rest is BS,     and sadly,     in the world of warcraft,  most are just   over-aged nerds who can care less about hurting others by words sed,   by caring less about  how one feels  left out by the  powers that be in guilds.      If only  they  knew how to be human,  not  a nerd,  not  such an dumdum to others,     the guild would be  a great guild to be in; to feel fully welcome in, and  truely feel like part of the team,  not just a pawn.  Im just glad I got to meet the few non mean-nerdos in guild     (   I guess we all nerdo a bit to play wow, lol  :P  )  

So..  thank you  to those who truely were  mature,    non dramatic,  helpful,  understanding, and with  a sense of humor.  YOU  are the  few that made it hard to leave the guild,  because I  been thinking on moving since  over a week now.     but   sadly the BS piled up  too high,  and  it   hit the fan when I left guild,  as well as in vent.  LOL, ..    Their loss,    but I gained a few friends for sure. So  for that I do have reasons to thank the guild,  and I did say thanks just before I left,   which is  the "thanks" I sed  in guild chat just before leaving.  If it was taken as sarcasm,  then thats the remaining perspective of the guilty. To the rest my explanation here shall clear that lil bit part up.

   To know more about me, if you wish to,    click the link below,   it will go to my first blog,   of when I was in secondlife,  a 3d chat format I used to develop and build in before I came to  WoW.   The posts go from most recent post down,  so  earliest  is at bottom  of  page ,   and    before that point,   I   had more,  but  I had taken it out because ,   my life condition has turned for the better miraculously and my attitude  in life is more positive  than  what all I had  in blog before when things were  looking  very dark in my life.       Again,  thank you  for   everything  and  understanding my limitations,  in play,  in typoing, lol,  everything.   If u only knew  my setup here,  you wud laf at me  on how I actually play wow.   I dont use my keyboard except to type only.  I use my mouse,  my keyboard sits to the right of me,  Im    mostly in bed,   or sitting up  still on my bed,   mouse on my right side too,  game pad on my left. My left arm is messed up due to nerve damage,  tho it dont have the bad shaking as it used to,  it is not as  perfect as before and hence can not  be used to type two handed.the way I know how.   I used to be  data entry at my job,   along with a ton of other  positions I had to fill in because the  company was not a big place,  so the team was not  a big one so we pulled together to make things happen,  but I typed  perfect,  and  very  low  error, and very fast before life took a turn on me.

So,       bad grammer,  is not   right at all,  its just  me being silly because I rather be funny and silly than be uptight serious  and  all  perfecto nerdo. Ill not change for anyone,   ever.  I am me,  like me or hate me,    Im a girl who  will never change for any guy.   I prefer to  have fun,   and thats what I do with my limitations and  typo errors,   I find ways to cope and  work with  what I have and so I type shorthand/silly,  becuz its what comes out  and plus,  I like to  make the reader sound out what I wish I cud say in voice.  ya,   read my first blog to  find out more on my voice if you dont already know.   Typing,   IS my voice ,      but  mebbe    some wow nerds  just find it so offensive to have  a real person from the real world,  a girl,   to  type in any other way  except perfect spell-checked  english with  no flaws.      *ponders in thought*        .....Oh how soo uber I wud be if only I cud be a nerd huh?,  LOL,    hell no,  Ill not change,  lol,     I am me,  and I  love to pew pew in wow,  and if they no like it in   some guilds,  then they can kiss my typo butt.  lol. 

  Well,  enuf of my  blah blah,  this really was meant to only be a  "thank you" to those deserving of my ty.   So thank you ,   from the bottom of my heart,   really.  I hope you all the best of luck,  and   if you do stay in that guild,   then  you  are  better at  dealing with crap than I am,  lol. It is a gud guild in its  little ways,  I guess  perks,  lol.   Im not gonna  ask you or anybody to leave,  because its not my intent to screw  a guild for having a few bad eggs that ruin the experience.  LOL.       Just  good luck  whether you stay or not,  is all I  wish for you all.   Bye for now my fellow  wow players/ friends.  I hope to still see you  around  in WoW.      And Ill still come  do Hots with you if you want me to.   I just left the guild,  not our friendships. ok?.    *big hugs*    o:')
