Bounty on us, eh? Think twice.

Posted by: Gahlok In: General

I began gathering the coins for the Lunar Festival. There are a couple of sites out there with very nice information, including the locations of where the NPCs are, two good examples would be WorldofWar.net and WoW Wiki. The advantage of being a class that can stealth is that I can get to those NPCs that are inside instances, compared to other classes that would actually have to clean before reaching the NPC. Right now I have 12 [item]Coin of Ancestry[/item]. One of the places I visited was Blasted Lands, one of the NPCs is around the Dark Portal, and I really couldn’t miss taking a screenshot while I was there :)

Later, I went to help Vandykeg with something for rep, and after that the guild organized an outdoor PvP run, in Blackrock Mountain. I must say, beforehand, that I don’t really like PvP, because, we could say, that I suck at it xD Anyway, I’m not sure the reason of why we went there, but I think it was because another guild placed a Bounty to kill us, so we standed there and wiped horde so many times (we only had one wipe, and I came out with more than 120 HK. There were people of Goon Squad, Heppers Guild (the guild that placed the bounty), and others.

Then the raid leader decides to move into Thunder Bluff, in Mulgore. I’ve never been in a major Horde City, never ever, even while I played Closed Beta.

The pictures were edited because, as usual, they were dark. So, it got pretty frustrating. Before we got into the city, many of us, included myself, kept saying “Don’t AoE, we don’t want Dishonorable Kills”. More than five times that was said… and guess what? Some [nice word], as soon as we got to the top of the city, AoEd and got us a DK =/ (the first DK in Gahlok) Obviously someone wasn’t hearing. Other than that, I was lagging extremely bad, it was something like “Freeze, Freeze, Freeze, I could move, Freeze, Freeze, Freeze” T_T I was so lost up there because I didn’t have a clue of where was what, and we were trying to get to the king. A bunch of guards zerged us, and there were some personalities there (unbelieveable!), including a mage called Isxhasa (not sure of the spelling, but it’s an undead mage, that hits really hard.. hehe), and some druid called Goob that Razorian and I killed a lot in Blasted Lands.

It was a great experience, just a bit frustrating on my side for some technical issues. Once I went to that horde town in STV with my rogue, and the first thing a mage did when we got into the gates was AoE -_- I got like three DK (on my rogue, Tarasque).

Before I end this entry, this wasn’t a failure, nor I am ashamed of this. On these times, hardly any Alliance OR Horde on my server attempts major cities (horde is the majority of the server I play). We might have wiped, yeah, I won’t deny it, but we tried, and even tho it might have been a bit frustrating for me, it was fun, and as I said, it was the first time I ever go into a horde town (Thunder Bluff was very nice, not as laggy as Ironforge). We standed strong in Blackrock Mountain, and even tho we didn’t stand the same in Thunder Bluff, at the end, heck, it’s a PvP server, and we also have to do PvP ^_^

Blizzard create Civilians with DKs to discourage city raids, because their servers and technology can’t handle the load. Too bad, because this was the one activity I was really looking forward to when I started playing WoW.

Yes, I used to play Lineage, Depardieu Server. Tarasque was a mage over there, and I also had other characters (an elf called Gahlok, a Night Elf called Rihal, a knight called CipherWave, etc.).

Why? o_O
