Last night the AQ40 run went really nice and smooth, lag spikes were there too, as usual. The [item]Fetish of the Sand Reaver[/item] is in the setup I’m working on, but for now it’s not a priority (I would rather get something else). I wanted to get the [item]Genesis Boots[/item] (from the [item]Qiraji Bindings of Dominance[/item]), but maybe next time :( Hopefully Twin Emperors are going down this week.

After I opened a ticket about the lag spikes (and also about the kick that we all got from the server) that we encountered during the run (which basically wiped us because it happened when we were doing Sartura, it was something like a lag spike, when it passed 20 or so members were dead, then another lag spike… and then whoever was alive died as well), I couldn’t believe I got this answer…

Somehow I liked the part that said “This is an automated response, and you will be unable to reply”. I love teh game, but the lag spikes are getting more and more common, and it makes you think if they are being worked out or what. Then we have The Burning Crusade comming up in a couple of months…

On the main topic, I really like Cross Realm Battlegrounds. For a couple of days I’ve been working in getting Exalted with Alterac Valley, and let me tell you, in a couple of days I should have access to the [item]Lei of the Lifegiver[/item], which is similar to [item]Sartura’s Might[/item], but doesn’t involve DKP, hehe. Right now I use a Two-Handed weapon, but I want to have an off-hand just in case I can get a good One-Handed.

Anyway, this has been my time-record so far (18 minutes Alterac Valley)

Most of the times there are games that last aroundd 20 minutes to 30 minutes, which is awesome, taking into consideration that before the games would take more than 4 hours, which made the entire thing very, very boring.

Woot for Thegrimace for getting the [item]Rejuvenating Gem[/item]! It’s the very first time that I see Nefarian being cool with druids and dropping double [item]Stormrage Chestguard[/item] ^_^ (grats Deathdruid and Lateralus). Me thinks that Gavril got the [item]Chromatically Tempered Sword[/item] (sweet!). Other than that, the run was kinda usual. Lag (/sigh) was present during the run (lag spikes ftl)…

Other than that, last night I was able to hear three (or so) songs that were composed in Totem Recall about some of the raiders, lol. That was very funny (Tritus’ song was cool, lololol).

As for patch 1.12, two days ago I was able to get into Battlegrounds and won two Alterac Valleys in a row, one in 22 minutes and the other one in 23 minutes. Then I lost other two, heheh. It was pretty nice, until the instance lagged… hehe. I got stuck in Alterac Valley for a while, had to force quit and stuff like that…

Talking about weird things…
