Withdrawl…
So after my post about slowing down I have been posting as much as usual, until yesterday.
No post yesterday. Yes I read a few blogs, made a few comments, but otherwise nothing.
It was hard, but refreshing.
Likewise of has been nearly 4 weeks out of game which has definitely changed or maybe reinforced my perspective on WoW.
I have played 3 times immediately the last weeks, to be honest, but a different grind than Kara.
That’s raised a few things for me, the first I will show you today, and the others… Well I will leave you with a question which will be the foundation of a future post.
Side project
As it hasn’t been possible to run with my mates and with WoLK on the horizon I decided I wanted to fill some gaps. Gnomeregan Exiles’ rep is on the list, and while looking for methods of increasing it, I stumbled across the Sprite Darter quest.
I love the look of my Cenarion War Hippogryph – it’s so colorful and better looking than the other flying mounts. I already have a parrot pet Parrot Cage (Green Wing Macaw) that automatically appears when I mount. I decided it was time to do the Druid’s another favor and save the Darters… and get one myself.
There is another reason I wanted a Sprite Darter (in a pear tree), but Iw ill that up to the boys at For the Horde to explain when they get time.
I won’t go into the process of getting the Sprite Darter pet , there are clear instructions for that on wowhead, but I will show you a few shots of my two pets.
My mount macro now includes a /userandom line so it picks one of these two randomly, I will throw that up next week for the one or two of you that are interested.
On foot (they fly so high!
Mounted
OK, some questions:
Pet related…
- Sprite Darter?
- Parrot?
- Use random?
- Better pet?
OK foundation of a future post.
When your mate says:
I thought we played so we could have a few drinks and play together.
Do you interpret that as:
- It doesn’t matter what we play, as long as we play together.
- We can play anything as long as it has badges.
- We can play anything as long as it is Kara (or ZA if we have the badges and gear from Kara).
- Other?
When I get the chance I will follow up on this question.
Gnomer and Out!








the way i read it is some people got to damm locked into trying to perfect kara….and for what? just so we can say we nailed it….Truth be known I don’t think we will nail it cause its a massive instance and we are to casual.
I’ve been thinking and the amount of time spent in pre and post bossfight discussion is to bloomin high
I also reckon cause we all know each other and have RL considerations AFK/BRB is at a level thats unacceptable for a raid.
When we get great players who want badge run they want to be out of there in 3 hours not 5
When we get the people who aren’t quite geared they are happy to drop out at currator or around 11:30-12:30. Cause they have got more loot than my sons get presents at xmas.
So i reckon your right….we would be stuck in kara ground hog day forever.
Great news though…..i’m free of Kara and ZA for ever..
