Honored with Silverwing Sentinels

Or we could also say WSG. Last night, after the servers came up (servers were down for lots of hours because of some issue), at around 10 PM Server Time, since it was too late to start raiding (and not everyone was online because of the problems with the server), a couple of us made a WSG group again. We just played a couple of games, some were kinda hard, but we could win :) At the end of the runs (or more like when I had to head to bed, I reached Honored).

Some were more interesting than others. I can say for sure that I really need some patience, lol, I get frustrated too fast xD The third screenshot was really frustrating… my game froze completely, I had to shut down the computer because it wasn’t responding at all… at least when I came back I was still in the game :D

Naxxramas, a hot topic since patch 1.11 came out. We have been trying Naxxramas, we haven’t been able to down any boss (yet), but we had a couple of attempts on Instructor Razuvious (damn, if he’s able to hit you you can get one shot for around 20k, lol) and Anub’Rekhan. The day before yesterday I had a bunch of screenshots (I got into the instance late), but for some reason the screenshots got deleted T_T Naxxramas is a nice place, with nice music as well, but very hard, lol.

Me loves patch :)

Yesterday US Servers got hit by Patch 1.11, which features a lot of things I was waiting for. You can’t believe how happy I was after I could get online ^_^ (thanks to Angerz, updating the patch didn’t take tooo long… hehe).

The raid team in AQ40 was full, so I had the chance to see stuff :)

First I went to Stormwind, I was heading to Yojamba Isle, to finally turn in two quests I had (all ZG quest items turned epic! not bad, not bad). I was going to go mounted, and outside the doors of Stormwind I could see those purple runes; mobs would come out of there. These mobs would be lowbie, around level 6~9 or so.

After I headed to Yojamba Isle, I hearthed to Ironforge, and decided to try swiftmend, I was itchy to try it. You had to see me jumping from a high place to lose health, lol. Anyway

Swiftmend rocks. With a 15 second cooldown, I fell in love with the spell xD It does get affected by Healing Power, as it was reported :)

Then I reminded that I forgot to learn Innervate when I was at Stormwind T_T So I had to walk all over again… :S When I was heading there I noticed something interesting

The dude was a 60 elite, and all those skeletons around him were elites as well. I didn’t mess with them at first because, well, look at the odds, who would win xD Those mobs were in the druid area in Stormwind.

062106-04

I should have had Innervate already T_T Oh well :P

A couple of seconds later, I saw people beating the huge guy I passed earlier, after we managed to kill him, some crystal came out with a quest

062106-05

After that, I could get a spot in the AQ40 raid :D Everything was fine, until we started a fight… and then you can see when addons go wrong …

062106-06 062106-07

Everything went nutts, even tho my ctraid was updated, it overlapped everyone and I couldn’t heal anyone, plus the errors that kept popping up, ahh.. it was crazy T_T I had to logout and take them, and I felt weird using the default interface :(

By the end of the night, Ex Umbra Bank distributed some [item]Nexus Crystal[/item]s, I had an [item]Arcane Crystal[/item] on my bank char and had to buy another one in the AH (incredibly, prices went up, they used to sell for 22g, and now they are around 50g, some are even 100g, lol lol lol)… then this morning

Gahlok is attuned to Naxxramas :) LHC was a war area, I saw tons of dead corpses when I went there :O

On other notes, I only ranked 5 this week :( With all that honor T_T

Bai Ayamiss

It’s the first time I ever down Ayamiss, as I was saying last night, for some reason all the guilds I’ve been skipped her. At the beginning of the raid I’m not sure if it was Redfish or Swordfish the one that told me that Ayamiss was free loot… hehehe. Redfish got the [item]Thick Silithid Chestguard[/item], and I could grab the [item]Book of Starfire VII[/item] by just bidding one point xD The new Starfire rank should be helpful in the Vael fight ;) The full clear took us around 3h 30m or so (and we weren’t rushing at all).

After we were done some of us made another WSG run. It didn’t last too long, but we had some good matches.

062006-03 062006-04 062006-05

The two first runs were pie, if you check the first and second screenshot, you can notice none of us died in the entire match :O I gotta repeat this, none in the group is hardcore pvper, nor it’s a “core” pvp group in Ex Umbra, it’s just people that got gathered and, well, made runs in WSG.

The funniest note (and maybe really newbie) is the last screenshot. The game was against Elitist Jerks, which is the strongest guild in Mal’Ganis. They were the first Horde guild in US to take down C’thun. During the run I had the flag in their roof, hidden, then I see their people comming up, and the raid could take down the one that had our flag, so as soon as our flag returned to our base, I started yelling in vent SCORE! running around the cap place… for some reason nothing was happening, and then I realized something… I was running in circles in THEIR flag room xD xD I was like WTF OMG OMG OMG RUNNNN, rofl rofl rofl. I didn’t manage to get out alive, tho :( Then later, when they were about to cap the second or third point, the one that had the flag was a mage, and there’s where my moonfire spamming skills shined, I could kill him by just spamming moonfire (Ganadar style) xD

What else can I say, they are really strong and organized (they kept crowd controlling us T_T and -nuking- all the healers instantly). Still, we gave a good fight, the whole thing took 30 minutes (at least we didn’t lose in 8-10 minutes xD xD).

Patch today :) I can’t wait for all the new things, one of them being Swiftmend :D

We will be extending our normally scheduled maintenance tomorrow by approximately two hours beginning at 3:00 AM PDT in order to apply the latest content patch. That’s right, I said it — we’re patching tomorrow. Hurry, read this message before it’s deleted! The truth must be told!
