Empresse the Kingslayer

Grats to me and Ms. Asil (And happy birfday to you too!) on our Kingslayers. /confetti

Finally got to join a 10-man ICC that's not too fail. I couldn't believe it, I didn't fuck up as much on LK as I would've expected either, thank god. Hunter-ing (is that even a word?!) is harder than I thought and honestly I am soooo happy that this toon wasn't my main.

Take your insecurities elsewhere please? OK THNX!!!

Accusers with no proof to back their accusations just need to shut the hell up.

Anyways, while we were doing Ruby Sanctum on Heroic, I apparently dispelled someone and had caused a wipe. Now, I don't understand how I could've done that. My dispel button is no. 2 on my keyboard... all my healing spells goes as follows:
4 - Flash Heal
5 - Renew
6 - Greater Heal
7 - Power Word: Shield
8 - Circle of Healing
9 - Prayer of Healing...

The only reason I could ever accidentally hit the no.2 button is if I had accidentally pressed it while hitting no.3 which is my Prayer of Mending (that's macro-ed to whoever the Main Tank is... if I get a chance to fix the macro in between let's-play-tank-musical-chairs pulls!).

I hate it when people call out mistakes without proof behind them. It just makes people sound like a backstabbing rat. Are they that damn insecure that they need to point out other people's mistakes to mask their own? I'm so sorry for you. You're so damn insecure you need to point out my momentary "lack of judgement" just to make yourself look good. YOU ARE SO FUCKING SAD. Fall in a well and DIE.

If it was my fault, fuck it. NO APOLOGIES here. I am human. But at least I don't do as much stupid shit as some of the turds that I raid with.

How to decide on what to wear in the mornin'...

Well zoomed through everything tonight. Two bosses left but I ain't going to lie: I HATED the fact we didn't do Sindragossa on Hard Mode. I had wanted an off-hand, but well, I don't make the calls.

At least I got the Sanguine Silk Robes (Heroic). And yes, I listened to someone's advice... I decided to switch the above-mentioned item for one of my tier piece and got rid of my headpiece for tier.

At least now I am sitting on a higher haste than when I started. I can't say it's going to help me much but I am hoping for the best. It's been hard lately to figure out how to beat the charts lately... I think I don't want to care anymore, especially with sudden lag spikes going on. I die less at least, surprisingly.

I am looking forward to getting my mount though. I hope we get the Lich King Achievement tonight so we can work on Heroic Ruby Sanctum tomorrow... if plans don't change.

Changed... for the worse?

I don't understand how someone can up and say I've changed since he's first met me... when I rarely even played/raided with this person. Apparently, I've become a douchebag and I don't know how he can justify calling me one. I made no promises to him when I was still in the same server as he was.
Now that there's battlenet, we got to talking again... but he tells me I've changed.

Why is it? Because I don't want to talk about total nonsense while I'm too busy raiding? That's the same case before when I was in Hydraxis with him. I'm still the ballsy girl from Hydraxis. I've honestly been less hostile now that I am in Arygos so I don't know what to say.

So what's changed... really? Someone fucking explain this shit to me?

7/24/10

When someone pulls a cucumber out of a hole and it had turned into a pickle...

As for finding a euphemism to the title of this entry... some people are just complete loot whores. I don't know what else to say.

I am in a a raiding guild. I KNOW. Remind me one more time and I just might slice someone's opening. Yes people who run alts have better raid awareness and knowledge of the strategy of the fights than most of the Marauders (AKA friends and family). But why do we even have a Marauder rank if we don't want the Marauders to roll on shit against Alts? Why do we insist that the Alts be the only ones allowed to have gear? Alts might as well call reserves on EVERYTHING, if that was the case.

Why do the Raiders feel so damn high and mighty? Cause we raid and other people can't? Some people CHOOSE not to be a raider. They can't make our normal raid times, maybe because of their jobs or their commitment to their families. Some just aren't strong enough players. Some just can't make the cut.

Call me a hypocrite, really. I do get mad when people we never see again get the shit I want on an alt. (I mean, this shit's happened to me on my main too!) But that's just part of the game. Screw the game. That's how real life works too! Yes some are deserving of the gear (or the job or the house with the white picket fences) but some are just better off not having these things because they don't know what to do with them!

But does it occur to some people that some of the Marauders are our friends? Can I blame someone else for their friends' lack of skills? NO!

Trust me, I am hard on my two friends who had transferred to this server. Both have been MIA from the game and are fast re-learning the way it goes. They followed me here in Arygos because our old server sucked major balls and because they want to play with me, no matter what character and no matter how sucky I can be on that toon. Albeit they knew they would rarely see me as the raid healer they once knew and loved, but they like *me* not just as a guildie but also a friend. How many guildies even think of me as a friend and not just a colleague? It's sad when I say I can only count a handful that I know will go with me to the ends of the earth.

My friends spent REAL money to get their butts to where I am. They've brought alts and one of them is faction changing all of them! (Insane, I know.) Now that's not just sincerity, but dedication to a friendship.

When it comes to the game, I REALLY kick their ass. They're already behind enough as it is. If I don't give them tough love, they will NEVER catch up. They don't do their dailies? Trust me, they get their ears boxed. They don't do their weeklies? I need not be intoxicated to drunk-call them at 4 am to remind them what they should do.

They are trying their best. That's what matters to me. They aren't fucking up on pulls like even the most experienced raiders do. They are honest when they say they are not familiar with fights. It takes more courage to tell the truth than to lie and pretend to know a fight. And they have the balls to say it.

I've known these guys for as long as I've started playing WoW. They've known me and loved me before I was even in a serious raiding guild... when I was just a bud yet to sprout as a beautiful flower. I really hate writing like I'm trying to be cheesy, but I don't care. I love these guys and they love me and they are fucking awesome. I don't care if they are on the top or bottom of the meters. THEY ARE MY BOYS. Anyone fucks with them... I don't think I can control myself from going The Hulk on some people.

This is probably the best guild I have ever been in. I have no enemies AND I have strict competition. Guilds come and go though (knock on wood!)... but these guys, MY BOYS, have been around for me, on- and off-game... I wonder where some of my guildies stand when a storm hits and I need to deal? Will they be concerned for my well-being or will they backstab me like dickless traitors? The guild doesn't need to prove me anything. We're all here to play and kill bosses. But at least I know these friends I have now will always be there, guild or no guild. Game or no game. And for that I am thankful.

So Cucumber-Hole can kiss my yellow ass. How many friends does CH have that loves CH like my friends love me?

7/23/10

Uneventful week, I guess.

Well nothing worth documenting really happened. Tuesday sucked balls; I didn't even log on because I knew the realms were down anyway. Spent the night at my boyfriend's brother's house where I was transfigured into an Hors d'œuvre platter for some mosquitoes (Off Spray failed me... /sigh)

Wednesday and Thursday was a blur. Pretty much non-stop achievements for our mounts. Ruby Sanctum was a joke, but thank god we're working on Heroic next week.

25-man Ulduar with rejects from hell...

Anyone wanna take a guess as how the run went? To say the least, it was much fun as a bullet to the head... and prolly just as messy.

I was excited to find someone in this god damn server who did Ulduar 25. I had wanted these fuckers out of the way for so long:
- Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood
- Firefighter
- I love the SMell of Saronite in the Morning
- One Light in the Dark

The joys of having already done all but 4 achievements that's at the end of the instance? Dealing with ALL the other bosses that needed to be killed... then not even coming close to getting one of the Achievements for yourself... /wrists

This is prolly one of the the worst PUGs I've ever been in... so much downtime in between pulls. PULLS, not bosses, mind you. SERIOUSLY??? We couldn't 24-man trash??!?!??!?!

Dragon is Dead! I repeat: DRAGON IS DEAD!!!

After working on this fucker for two weeks, Sindragossa is finally dead!!!!

CLIFF'S NOTES VERSION: /grumbles about how we could've raped him last week, but stops after 10 minutes of whining)

PHEW! That was a close one too(three people dead)... BUT WE DID IT!!!

BOY, do I feel sorry for Destia...

HAHAHAAA!!! Gotta love Blackstar's comment to. Silly hunters...

FINALLY...

Althor's Abacus is MINE!!!

No other words to say really... too busy having a wowgasm. Lata!

New School meets Old School

In my old server (Hydraxis) people used to think I am old-school Vanilla WoW-player because I have a Troll priest. Hydraxis being a Burning Crusades server had a LOT of Blood Elf priests. Like swarming with them! Now it's sad when I say that I am a BC-baby (a term I coined ^_^) AKA I started raiding when BC came out. Karazhan was my first 10-man, Gruul's Lair my first 25-man, I think.
Anyways, I've been blessed with friends from other guilds from my own that invited me to do fun Old-school stuff. Like Azuregos. I didn't know what the hell was going on at all... but at least it was good times. At least I can say I explored beyond the normal stuffs.

Anyways, I had a priest!friend show off his Benediction/Anathema a while back. I always thought it was cool. I wanted one!!! But who does old-world instances nowadays?

Oh wait, HASS does! I'd love to say this boy is nuts, but then again he IS a guildie of mine so that's a given. -_- Anyways, he kidnapped me into going to Molten Core. And lo and behold! I got the quest to start it... /sigh. Looks like hell... Hmmm...

When pain meds just aren't enough...

"The time I miss a raid because of a headache is when I am too busy puking my guts out" I think that's what I said to Arpegius when she asked me how my headache was prior to raid (I had psted her about it prior). Granted, I was selfish. I didn't just step out of the raid. But then again, I didn't really trust the person who was taking my place so no one can blame me really.

I've had this stupid headache on and off hours at a time since Sunday morning. It sucks major balls. Sometimes I can't even tell anymore, whether it's cluster headaches, migraine attacks or allergies. In the past few days, I think I've tried enough aspirin, ibuprofen and allergy medicine to kill ten horses. God help my liver.

"If you want things done right, do it yourself" That's my motto at work... and I guess it seeps in when it comes to the game sometimes. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I've always been a good camper, even at work and when I was in school. I complained A LOT if I am in pain, but I usually get my work done. I do use it as an excuse to buy me time or a little sympathy, so people won't nag on me as much when I can only give 95% instead of a 110%.

As much as I had wanted to pour my heart and soul into the Sindragossa attempts, I hate to admit it but I fucked up big time today. Like MAJOR big time. I kept doing stupid shit, I got frost bombed on the wrong side... Even my HPS was horrible, at least compared to yesterday's. GAH!!! I guess that makes me a hypocrite. (It seriously took me one whole minute to spell the word HYPOCRITE, that's how bad my headache is!!!) With what I wrote last night... yeah, I think I was the {douchebag} today.

I honestly don't have any reason to die when I did. Maybe I stood a millimeter too close to the side where the Frost Bomb dropped. Although I had turned my POV to the correct end before I got pulled in by Sindragossa and walked straight, I still died. Maybe I am just goddamn unlucky today. I don't know, I HONESTLY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR ANYONE. I did everything as correct as I possibly can. Probably not perfect, but I honestly have no regrets on my performance tonight. I did what I could to the best of my abilities with whatever the hell is wrong with my head atm.

I wish I could change the fact that we didn't down the stupid dragon. I wish we did. Actually, I wish we did last night so tonight would've been easy for me to sit out tonight because I'm not feeling too well. /sigh.

Invasion of Privacy

World of Warcraft fans rail against Blizzard real names plan

I NEVER troll (Troll! /giggle!) the Warcraft Forums, so that part doesn’t really bother me. I do worry for everyone else though. Blizzard did us right when they gave everyone their anonymity back.

I don’t like the fact that I can see the whole names or my friend’s friends and they can see mine. What if I am not in amicable terms with some of their friends? Some of them know me by my first name, which was ok (cause everyone has a name and mine is pretty common) but for them to be able to narrow down my last name from a list, pretty scary!!! And it’s not fair to exclude a friend because of this. I hope they skip that Friend of Friend thing… or at least give everyone an option to turn off other people’s view.

Fail = Fail = Fail... is it that hard to do the math?!?!?

So, we did Hardmode Sindragosa tonight. On our best (and last for the night) attempt we had the dragon at 18%, that is until a reject from hell decided to be the retard who got targeted by Frozen Orb and forgot to move. So retard got at least 7 people frozen and god knows how many died. Man, GM would've given us double the DKP if it wasn't for this cockgobbler.

I honestly REALLY hate calling out people, especially since I am sure a lot of people in my guild has either spotted this or stalked me to this blog somehow... so I am going to try my best to keep this guy anonymous while I talk about him/her. I'll call him/her DOUCHE. DOUCHE doesn't even deserve a sex cause having a sex means someone has to at least have evolved from a single cell organism. This guy probably doesn't even have any brains cell.

So DOUCHE is a dumb fuck. DOUCHE either:
- refused to listen to the raid leader's strategy when stated in vent. OR worse, doesn't have vent on because DOUCHE only cares about itself.
(a) raid leader says NOT to cast during Unchained Magic. DOUCHE still did.
(b) raid leader says NOT to run with group after the Pull-In Phase... DOUCHE still did.
- has really bad connection that DOUCHE lags and doesn't want to complain about it in raid/guild BUT refuses to get DOUCHE's shit fixed. If this is the case, DOUCHE has no business being in a raiding guild and wasting everybody's damn time.
- likes to pad the meters so much he doesn't really care if the raid fails or not. Apart from a previous guildie I am not going to mention, I wanna say he's probably the second-worst healer when it comes to raid awareness.
(a) I know why DOUCHE has to pad the meter! DOUCHE sucks balls! DOUCHE wants to be on top of meter cause DOUCHE can't do anything right!!!
(b) we were supposed to move away from the raid during Unchained Magic... so DOUCHE does move away from raid, but instead moves towards another healer. And stands where the healer was... so dead real healer and dead DOUCHE, who gives a flying fuck about the latter?

Well, DOUCHE just had so many fuckups tonight, making excuses won't even matter. I hope he doesn't come up with some cockamimie reason behind all this, I (and the rest of the other healers) don't wanna hear about it that's for sure. Anyways, I am tired of talking about DOUCHE. There is no other way I can explain how fail DOUCHE was. I just... GAAAAH so frustrated!!! We almost had Sindragossa dead for fuck's sake.
Well, tomorrow might be iffy for me so I might miss the raid. Just my stinking luck, really. And if by chance they do down, I am going to miss getting a roll on my BiS offhand, Sundial of Eternal Dusk (Heroic)

Zoom ZOOOOOOOM!!!

It's been a good raid night tonight. Ruby Sanctum wasn't that bad, wiped a few times. But congratulations to my good friend Healectra on getting her Glowing Twilight Scale. /highfive. Priests are gonna rule baby!!!

As the title states we zoomed through the first wing with ease. I'm really surprised, based on recount I thought our healing was pretty weak tonight. Even I'm slacking, bottomed out on the charts. Granted, yet again I have a headache (I NEED to shrug this off!)

7/3/10

le sigh

Well, I almost strangled a guildie today... and prolly not his fault, but still. Anyways, we ran 10-man ICC today on mostly alts (I brought my hunter, Empresse), except for one guy who's on his main.
So it was a pretty uneventful run (won an upgrade shoulder and a Saronite ^_^) but Stakethrower dropped and well, I thought it'd be a good upgrade for when I jumped to Marksmanship so I needed on it.
Well, I'm a dumbass who doesn't pay attention to loot after I roll on it (not to mention I was talking to my BF since the fight was over) so I didn't realize it was the main-guy who rolled against me (I thought it was the rogue alt, so I didn't feel obligated to really give it up). Anyways, if it wasn't for a mutual friend who said something, I'd probably have kept it.

He was like, I didn't wanna say anything... and I was like, seriously boy it's your main. The faster you kill the fuckers, the less time I need to heal everyone!!!

MEN, seriously. SO damn difficult.

A Killer Headache

I don't think I wanna remember tonight's raid... AT ALL.

If I didn't have a headache prior to the start of the raid, I think I would've gotten one anyway. I popped two extra-strength, fast relief Tylenols. It didn't work at all. The degree of failness was beyond any type of medicine. I think it would've been better for me to just drink cyanide, the death would've been so much faster and way less painful...

Not that many people showed up on time today, but then again that's not much of a surprise since last night and Tuesday's runs weren't that great either. This whole week was fail, period. I honestly don't know what's going on. But the tanks have been dying too fast, we wipe multiple times on Heroic bosses we had on farm.

Can't really complain. We did pretty okay with Ruby Sanctum. But still, what's missing? DP having tunnel vision? Why do the tanks keep dying? Not enough heals? We've five-healed frigging Lich King regular before, why do we fail now? Again, that's a question for the void. I have no high hopes that there would be an actual answer to this week's fiasco.
