WoW Break

By Lyssa, June 10, 2009 11:24 am

I’ve been playing WoW non-stop since December 24th, 2004.  That’s a long time, 4 and a half years actually.  Our logins have been slowing down recently and I haven’t really felt like raiding so I decided to take a few weeks off.

I did log in last Saturday morning, but I was only on long enough to do the Tournament daileys, a normal Saturday would have me on most of the day if I didn’t have errands to run or stuff to do around the house.  On Sundays I normally play all day and into the night but this past Sunday I only did 1 Tournament daily, so I could finish up the badges for Darnassus and move onto the last city- Exodar.  No one else in the guild was on at either time so I haven’t really talked to anyone in a week.

Last night I logged in with the intent to buy my Hateful Gladiator’s Plate Chestpiece and maybe see if my 2s buddy was on to get our weekly 10 games in.  As it turns out the guild was running a pug 25-man Naxx so I figured since I didn’t really have anything else to do so I thought I’d que up for a few BGs with my new chest piece.  Just as we were about to win a very fast Strand of the Ancients Keld asked if I wanted to come do some DPS.  An Emblem of Valor or 3 wouldn’t hurt and I didn’t really have anything else to do so I tagged along.  Also, I don’t have any of the heroic Naxx achievements so that was also a bonus.

We killed a few bosses then I brought in Ipaq because we needed some decursing.  We got to Gothik and after a failed “aoe everything” attempt it was 11:45 and I had to get to bed.  I think they’re finishing up the run tonight.

So I cheated a little bit on my break, but I probably won’t log in again for a few days and it’ll just be so I can get my 2s games in.

Another raid night come and gone.

Well another raid night come and gone with no raiding being done.

Brianalt did invite me to a 2’s team so we stunk up the arenas for an hour or so for our weekly points. He’s been playing with a DK so he was getting used to playing with a warrior and I was getting used to playing period as I haven’t arena’d since the expansion came out.

I have absolutely no idea how the points work now. We were only gaining 4-6 points per win (while the teams we beat lost as few as zero) and the teams that beat us were gaining up to 24 points while we would lose 16… How can our team, being ranked under 1200, be losing 16 points?!? I have no clue, but it just doesn’t seem right.
