I miss PvPing on my mage. I remember dueling outside IF constantly to try to learn the moves of the other classes. I was very good at messing up Rogues, and obviously Warriors because that was the most one-sided fight ever.

I should really get around to dual speccing. But I'm currently too distracted by about fifteen other things.

The stupid Shaman change is pissing me off. Such a small quality-of-life thing.
I wonder how viable BGs are for leveling low-level dudes is. Would be cool to level a guy from 10 (or 15, w/e the level is to unlock BGs) to 90 or 100 just PvPing |

Just did LFR tonight. Holy hell it is more mind-numbing than ever before.

As in you could have been doing other stuff while healing?

Pretty much. They've basically stripped out all of the mechanics and it's little more than a true tank'n'spank.
My hope is that since it was just the first wing of the raid, it is intentionally tuned to be super easy. I think the 2nd wing of Highmaul LFR unlocks this week (today) so we'll see if it's any better. Like during Brackenspore there's these mushrooms I was healing and I honestly don't know if it provided us any benefit at all. Could've probably just ignored them altogether. Not sure if I want to attempt to pug Normal difficulty yet. Still very apprehensive about trying a real raid with the morons that play this game. Hate the community, it's absolutely abysmal now. Funny, my buddies and I transferred off my old server and now my old guild is somewhat active and raiding again. Although, all the core members that I enjoyed playing with don't really play anymore, and the guys that ARE active are a lot of the fringe members I can't really stand, so no real loss. I am still Officer rank there on my Paladin though, hope they throw some BoE crap in gbank that I can borrow wooohoo |

Completed Shadowmoon Valley last night and in the jungle now, new Netherstorm
PVP'ed and quested as Frost, very niiice. You can be beneficial by keeping ppl frozen and that's the tits. Blizzard is a good AOE spell as opposed to arcane blast |

That is very sad that raids are more tank and spank than anything
Keep the pleebs happy I guess. |

Nice. Did some PVP last night as well to get some honor for my weekly seal. Still hate that WotLK BG with the doors and crap. I like the Temple of Kotmagu (or whatever). I tried playing Enhance in BGs and was absolutely useless. I'll stick to Resto where I can actually make a discernible difference.

Supposedly Normal difficulty (and then the ensuing Heroic, and then Mythic on top) is a pretty big jump in difficulty. |

My 87 priest is going to get some BG loving this Sunday I believe. I'm a PVP'er at heart. I can't stand elite ppl in raids, I'll do the casual raid here and there, but a few rotten apples ruined the experience for me. I always wanted to have fun and was punished for it

LFR is good for that, it's very forgiving on a lot of mechanics, and most people are simply there for a couple loot upgrades so even if you do sub-par DPS or whatever nobody will really get overly agitated

Now getting a healer to 100 is a priority if we want to PVP. I'm better as a healer than I am at damage or we can both heal each other and be decoys

My buddy plays a Rogue so last night I was just a pocket healer for him as he sliced and/or diced people up. Our group of 4 in the one BG, the final statline was me and our other healer lead in Healing Done, I was 1-0-60 (KB-death-HK) and she was 2-0-60, and our rogue was like 28-4-20 and our monk was like 13-2-30 or something. Did pretty hot. Did not die

Retiring the laptop I used in Wrath/Cata. WoD is too harsh on it. Need to start shopping for a viable mobile rig to game on the go
Desktop is 6-7 years old and is due for an upgrade too, just don't want to get something that will be slashed in price. Waiting for sales |

Waiting for Christmas break because all my HTPC parts are arriving at my uncle's (shipping to US way cheaper than Canada)... picked up an extra 120gb SSD for my desktop as well (for less than $50 holla) Hoping that putting a SSD in my desktop will improve my performance a bit. Will probably try to upgrade my video card sometime in 2015 as well. Can probably get a decent upgrade for around the $100 price range or so. Forget what exact card I have now, but it's a Radeon HD ...something... 5770? maybe. Dunno. So many numbers.
How much are you looking to spend? I've always found laptops to be kinda crappy for gaming because of their onboard video |

Damn nice deal on the SSD for sure. You will see a noticeable improvement, no question.
re: WoWraidsLoL It is definitely encouraging that they have a mode for the majority to see. I always wanted to see Black Temple back in BC but never had the group for it at the time. Loved the shit out of the Kael Thas fight though, probably still one of the best in the game. Thank you for describing the community to me, it reinforces why I do not wish to renew |

It's a growing (concerning) trend with online communities in general. People are just asshats anywhere. TPWW is actually kind of unique in the sense that we've mostly avoided the cynical dickheaded trollness of most of the scum that is the internet. Can't stand anything about anyone online anymore and reading people talk behind the veil of anonymity makes me want to kill myself.

It's because GAMES R SERIOUS BUSINESS damnit!
Really though, do you think it is that way because of a "younger" perhaps entitled-feeling generation is the majority of the online community now? I have noticed a surge of this sort of behavior over the past 5-6ish years ESPECIALLY pertaining to online gaming/youtube/social media. Bet if online anonymity ever goes away the internet will settle down. JUST KIDDING, people will still find a way to spoof ID's and then "IRL Identities" of users will become corrupted/abused/faked and cause more harm than ever. |

If you're looking for value, Alienware probably isn't your best bet. I find them to be overpriced.

Steam Boxes and Alienware are going to gape your anal cavities on price for sure.
Best bet is to piece a system together, piece by piece. You will save $$$ by cutting out a lot of bullshit software bundles. Newegg has an awesome series on the YouTube on best practices for doing this. |

Never tried this but leveling through PvP pet battles is pretty hilarious. You get 10k XP for a win, and queue time is like 20 seconds on average. Not too hard to win most of the time if you have a pretty OP lineup. Gonna level my Paladin and all other alts this way I think

I love my Paladin though it sucks I lost my Inquisition but I'm doing fine without it. I haven't got 100 yet but I might today or tomorrow since I just added some game time.

Going to put together a weekly ICC/other vintage raids run for transmog/memory purposes. So far I have 5-6 that would be down to do that, so the possibilities are endless. I want to collect sets once I get one toon to 100. That stuff is fun.

We don't know. The guild is very spontaneous and the next few weeks will be spent discussing the whole thing. Obviously the shit can be done with 2 ppl so if we have 2 or more ready to rock we'll go raid some other shit and watch the damn thing grow
