1/11

[Jedic]

One of my favorite dates.... although 1/11/1111 would be even better...

Last night's raid was a great time! The healers and decursers did an amazing job with the targeting issues blizzard is having right now. FWIW, I'm using x-perl and didn't have any problems targeting (or seeing the targets) of any mobs we faced last night. Since I gave up healing, I don't really have to target anyone in the raid, but x-perl does have some nice raid frames that might avoid blizzard's issues.

Sorry I had to duck out on the attempts at Kruul. But by midnight, I'm exhausted (working 12 straight hours with no breaks will do that to you). Did you guys manage to get him killed? or at least moved away from IF?

Okay, back to grading...

[Goenitz]

Pretty stale night for me (healing in a protection spec sucks balls), tho I did win that sexy cape, and tanking noth is always fun.

I'm looking forward a lot more to today, can't wait to kite the gluth zombies.

P.S. I had no portrait/targetting issues being modless. Well itemrack is the only mod I use anymore, and that doesn't cause any problems.

[telva]

We got him moved down the hill some and I think got him to 50% (maybe lower). However the lag was horrible so I think the healers were having a helluva time healing. The server eventually crashed on our last attempt so many of us are lying on the hill to IF awaiting a rez.

On top of which every nimrod and their brothers were there "trying" to help out, thus they were getting run over and healing him up. He really would be a cake walk to kill (his health drops uber fast) but I think Blizzard had this in mind when they let him loose, ie him killing all the nubs who want to see him thus making it very hard to finish him off.

I still had fun trying to get him down and though it is frustrating, I applaud Blizz for little events like this. I was really hoping the scourge event would be more like this. The mobs running through cities WTF owning anything and everything for a while. If it is going to be a war, I like it when the other side actually mounts an offensive.

Naxx was fun as usual. Disappointed the UI problems and bad luck kept us from getting Raz down. Hopefully they hot fix the crap so we can down him tonight.

Btw I was using AG unit frames and had no problems with it. However I was having a problem targeting using the CT raid bars. Not that it matters to me since I don't click on anyone during the raid.

[telva]

Why were you healing Goe? Was it because we only had 4 priests? I figured you had respec'd for whatever reason and that is why you kept throwing out heals.

[Jedic]

Yeah, I think I'm turning off ctraid when I log in tonight... I don't use any parts of it (I'm using bigwigs for boss timers)... I'm using less and less of ctmod too... I used to use their bar mod, but when they took so long updating it after the 2.0 patch, I got used to using blizzard's bars again (although i like the scalability of the ctbars)...

[Goenitz]

Why were you healing Goe? Was it because we only had 4 priests? I figured you had respec'd for whatever reason and that is why you kept throwing out heals.MikeVnub wanted me to heal, I agreed to it since it's probably the last time I'm gonna do Naxx, in a very long, long time (well today will be).

I'm a lot more interested in the new instances and getting to level 70 as soon as fucking possible.

[Myraal]

Barry Bonds fails drug test.

Discuss.

[Apolyon]

Kruul cost me more gold then the entire Naxx run.

I was using X-perl yesterday and I didn't had any targeting problem, abd trust me I click a lot on the raid frame (well the xperl one, not CT nor Blizz).

Doing some overtime tonight so I won't be there, I hope you guys will crush Gluth. Maybe I'll manage to be home fast enough to give a hand or at least hear everyone scream when he will be down.

[Kai]

Morning all.

Barry Bonds failed a drug test? What are the odds...? :P

Run on Kruul sounds like good stuff. Sorry I missed that. No WoW at all for me last night. I put my daughter to bed last night and fell asleep at 9pm. :sleep: I'm not sure I've woken up yet....

[Jakal]

I love the first week of classes, not that I like my classes but I love the drinking every night. Be jealous old people!

[Kai]

Be jealous old people!

Done! :toast:

[Allia]

Hey Jedic, are you still excited and smiling about getting a wraithblade? :)

Grats again btw :D

Thanks buddy. Ill be sure to spam pictures of the bebeh whenever I can. :)

On the topic of Bonds. I love how he blamed it on a teammate but then the guy he blamed it on basically calls him a liar. Ill have to see what the guys on PTI have to say about it.

It's also BS that McGwire did not get voted into the Hall of Fame.

[telva]

Grats Dalmar!

I haven't decided if I am going to raid or not yet, will probably be a wait and see type thing. I hate the grind so raiding my be a good break from that.

As I said on another board, how stupid can Bonds be to keep blaming other people for his failures. First it was the cream that he didn't realize was steroids, now he is popping pills from someone else's locker and blaming it on them. Dude needs to own up to his own shortcomings. What is worse, is that he was on his way to a HOF career before he started beefing up.

Hatchet what level is the Druid? I might have some free time this weekend to level with you now that the GF is happy that we are going to Vegas. Nief do you have to take the wife to see shows while you are out there? If so which ones are you going to go see? We were going to hit up "Love" but it won't be on the nights we are there, so instead it looks like "Phantom of the Opera". Also, any good restaurants? This trip is basically for V-Day so rather than the usual grub I figure we should eat nice once.

[Hatchetface]

I thoroughly enjoyed Overlord's romp through Iranforge last night! I hopped over onto Poindexter to watch the fireworks when he first spawned and promptly ate a shadowbolt volley. Good times! The laughter was totally worth the $15 I spent on renewing.

Thumbs up to whoever kited him to the Great Forge for his showdown with Bronzebeard. The dead bodies and bones littered throughout the city are a welcome addition and a heartwarming sight!

I hope teh Hore can muster a better defense! :P

Edit: "Ratchetface" is level 15.

[telva]

I have mixed feelings on Big Mac seeing as how I am a Cardinals fan. I want him to get in, but I am also very disappointed how he showed his ass during the Congressional hearings. I think he probably could have done just as well without the pills (see his rookie season), but since the circumstantial evidence points to him popping it irks me. I know it was against baseball's rules but thats because baseball needed all the excitement it could handle during the 90's thanks to the labor disagreements.

[telva]

I doubt it. I wanted to kite him to the UC last night but the lag would have made it impossible. I think the thing that should help the horde is the lower population. Last night after midnight there were still lowbies running around intentionally dying which basically resets him. Has he left IF yet?

[Hatchetface]

They took the Eastern Kingdoms down to remove him (and the bones) from Ironforge last night during your attempt.

Maybe he'll show up outside a Horde city tonight. I'm sure the same thing would happen to Orgrimmar.

Some people were saying that you're supposed to use the tabard recieved from the Argent Dawn from killing invading felguards at the Dark Portal. Any truth to that?

I just find it hypocritical that the sports writers that were writing daily stories about how Mac and Sosa were basically the best thing to happen to baseball during that summer when they were both chasing the record will now pull a 180 and villify the man. I remember it well you couldn't turn around or watch tv without hearing about the two of them and they would even cut away from scheduled programming when either of them were at bat.

But now those same people develop this set of morals and are willing to let their former golden boy hang because he took a substance that was at the time perfectly legal for him to be using.

[telva]

I don't know Hatchet. Like I said, we could have owned him had we not gotten outside interference. Griefing from the Horde is one thing, its almost what is supposed to happen, but griefing from alliance is a whole other level of asshattedness.

The sports writers will claim that they supported the 2 of them because they didn't know they were on the juice. Even though they discovered the adnro whateverthefuckitscalled in his locker and called Mac out on it.

If so, :(

you know he's not quitting for good ;) We'll just have to power-level him when he gets back, har har:D

Why do people keep saying this ><

[Allia]

So i brought my cat to the vet... the vet said that the excessive licking on his belly is causing the hair-loss and its mostly behavioural and a very common occurance, I've had cats for 20 yrs and I dont remember ever seeign this issue before now... $134 later, pills and a injection and I have to go back in a month, heh

[Zephonia]

I got up at 7:30 today to head off to school. To High school. =O

I got to see some of my younger friends and my old teacher, in cluding the best teacher ever. <3 I miss having her class like mad. If I can be half the teacher she is, I'll be successful.

In other news, WTB people for Scholo and Strat. Zephy needs stitchings and skins of shadow.

[Allia]

Cause we <3 you and dont want you to Quit :)

[Jedic]

Hey Jedic, are you still excited and smiling about getting a wraithblade? :)

Grats again btw :D

Yes, I am still very excited... and a little bummed for Corb... I know how it is it want something and then lose the roll to someone else... wtb wraith blade for all casters...

I hate working when I feel like crap... I'm going to have see if I can take a nap before naxx tonight...

Maureen's cat did this... had her whole stomach bare for the longest time... vet wasn't worried about it so we weren't either (I think she's just a psycho bitch cat from Long Island)...

[Jedic]

That's what he's really looking for... twinking...

Gratz Dalmar!

Zeph, see the great race thread in the private forums. I believe we're talking about hitting Scholo and the DM west for Shifta's lock's mount questline. As far as I know we aren't full. ;) I'd love to do both sides of Strat this weekend. I'd prefer to do Scarlet first so I can actually get the quest to go after the Baron. Mmm... new and fun stuff for me! :up:

Waib, none of us can bear the thought of life (or WoW) without Waib, so we have to believe you'll be back. Otherwise there's no point in going on. :sniffle: There's no point in saying anything about NOT playing, cause we're not listening. :lala:

(and yes I still love all the darn smilies!) :D

Allia my parents have this freak cat that keeps chewing off the hair on from his belly all the way down his legs. Almost no hair at all its really fucking weird, the cat has problems.

[Apolyon]

What is the pantherthing website for gear and such things?

[Allia]

I've had hm for over a year and this has never happened before :( I'm hoping more attention to him, cause he's a attention freak, will snap him outta his psychological isues, heh.

[telva]

I think it is www.shadowpanther.net but it is aimed at rogues and their gear only. They had a link for warrior stuff but it was never populated.

[Apolyon]

ok thx, and damn that website is blocked.

WTB a way to bypass websense without changing my network cable

[Jedic]

Class taking a testg, Jed? =P You're posting more than usual this morning. :)

No, although my Honors Geometry classes will be taking a test later this afternoon...I'm just typing fast in between classes (and made some posts when I got here at 6:30 this morning)...

Just 1 and I got it from Bal in the middle of the Kruulsanity last night. Thanks!

True! I will try to get all the prequests done by a reasonable time tomorrow night and be ready for the 5-manning later friday and all weekend long. If there's a run organized before I'm done with the prequests, then I'll still probably come along. Note though - I will be playing with my bro all weekend. He's either on his 60nub mage or his pretty decked out shadow priest. So that's more DPS (with an option to heal). Woohoo! Last weekend hurrah for classicwow!

[Zephonia]

Kinky. Discipline and Masochism FTW! ;)

[telva]

Let's see we did Strat with a druid (healing), me tanking, Zeph and Nayle. So having a bear tank shouldn't be a problem. To say the least, the once uber 5 mans have become a joke. You shouldn't have a problem.

[MVB]

I've actually come to rather enjoy scholomance, at least more than I used to. I'd like to run it a few times ... plus the wand that drops off gandling would be a nice pick-up for cura, who needs maybe another 50 damage gear here and there + enchants to get over 700 spell damage.

Honestly, though, I kinda need to find help if he's going to level any sooner than June or July. Heh.

[Kai]

I'll run it as many times this weekend as people want to go. Same for Strat. Mixing and matching teams would be educational for me.

Honestly, though, I kinda need to find help if he's going to level any sooner than June or July. Heh.

FYI Mike, unless I missed a memo I have no teammates lined up for BC. I'm not teh uber, but I'd happily sign up to play alongside your alt. I doubt you'd have problems finding takers though.... ;)

[telva]

I think what the nub is saying is that he is going to poor all his energy into leveling Mike starting Tuesday. But that isn't saying much because Mike is a notoriously slow leveler. On top of which once he hits 70 he plans on instancing rather than leveling another toon.

[Jedic]

How do you have almost 700 spell damage? My mage has 640 ish unbuffed so unless your talking with trinkets and stuff I dont see it.

[Shifta]

Well - to summarize - I'll be on ALL weekend, almost always looking to run 5-mans especially when it's non-pug. I will be side-by-side with my brother's mage/priest, so DPS will be easy ("I" being Slokha the warlock). My guess is that finding tanks will be the toughest part.
Psyched! Stupid thursday not moving fast enough.

I might be up for trying Aidain as a pally tank... I am a total nub at it, but it might be fun and a new challenge... if you're having trouble finding a tank, give a hollar... (i'm not responsible for wiping tho :lol: )

I don't know if you remember this, Jedicdain, but Leridyn, Blackravyn, you, myself on Mogain, and my brother on Astune once did a scholo run. Mogain and Astune were 58. The first two rooms we must have wiped about 7 times, but You, Leri and Asa wouldn't entertain any notions of quitting. We ended up having a great run with you as tank... I have no issues wiping next to guildies :)
I don't remeber whether you were playing Jedic or Aidain though.

I give no one except my special lover. This money will be used to fund the 2 orbs I will need to put Crusader on Severance when it drops tonight.

[Talut]

Is anyone planning on PvPing much this weekend? I'm after WSG and AV tokens to get a mount before the expansion hits.

I don't think I can get enough honor to bother trying for a weapon before BC hits.

[Kai]

If we aren't mid-instance, I'll be PvPing. I probably should JUST PvP, but I want to see things I haven't and get to actually do some non-raid PvE with HotC! I've only really had a chance to do that with a few folks. I'm looking forward to it.

[telva]

Unless I am farming I will only be logging on to play my 'lock with Ratchet. Otherwise I will be playing Zelda with the GF.

No naxx?

I have to work from about 7:30 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday... and I have grading I need to get done (but of course I'll do that with WoW up and running on the computer)... give me a hollar if you need some help (except for pvp... tried it... done with it...)

[telva]

That was in response to Talut about this weekend. I don't think we are running Naxx over the weekend. I will definitely be there today, I need my Severance!

ROTF Nice thought, but then they might not pay you. I always thought it was interesting to be in front of a classroom, but I didn't usually teach the same courses from semester to semester. If I'd have had forums to troll, I'd have probably found the teaching a little less interesting....

tbch, i love teaching... i can't imagine ever having any other job... although i do teach mostly the same classes from year to year (Honors Precalculus and BC Calculus), each year is a new adventure with new students and new things that i try and do in each class... i haven't had a day in the last 9 years (at this school) where i woke up in the morning and dreaded going to work... so i feel pretty lucky...

[Shifta]

Two of my 4 favorite teachers in HS were my Honors Precalc and my Calc BC teachers (two diff guys).
I'll never forget that after the Calc BC exam there were about 3 weeks left in the school year. The teacher gave the students two options.
They could write a report on some famous dead mathematician. They would not have to come to class anymore, and just had to hand in a 2 pager after the 3 weeks.
The other option was to come to class and get a crash course on ODEs - ordinary differential equations. Obviously, only the really hardcore math nerds would stay for the ODEs. That included myself and like 3 other guys.
I remember that those 3 weeks prepared me SO well for my first math class in college. I ended up being able to skip a whole year of engineering calc and start as a sophomore. Those 3 weeks gave me SUCH a head start on that class... I ended up kicking serious ass. Mr Silverstone... what a kickass teacher!
Anyhow - I don't know why I'm waxing reminiscent.

[Kai]

People that don't like math don't know what they're missing. I always loved math. Unfortunately I somewhat shot myself in the foot in HS by alienating the ONLY teacher that taught a course above Algebra II. I had to get my upper math myself or in college, and the college instructors I had were researchers, not teachers... if you get what I mean. Math jokes are pretty bad though... almost as bad as Econ. ;)
