This was last tuesday (yesterday we didn’t raid because of V) I got the [item]Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation[/item] and the [item]Idol of the Avian Heart[/item]. We had a couple of difficulties with Maiden T.T Oh, and you might probably be wondering what is a stealth/ninja patch (as I’ve heard from people), basically is what Blizzard patches without letting people know on the patch notes… heh.

Like this:

1) Yes, the encounter wasn’t up to par (Q. Maiden buffed?)
2) Illhoof was way too easy (Q. Illhoof buffed?)
3) Of course not. We would not deliberately break content. We’ll try to get this fixed ASAP (Q. Chess event broken?)

Regarding 1 and 2, I’m looking into where the communication breakdown happened that prevented this information from making the patch notes. Apologies for that.

But no biggie, things got changed on Maiden fight and well, what can I say, she’s going down and we will go back all the way to work on the Shade of Aran this week. Right now Pulse has three Karazhan teams, heheh. I’m not really up-to-date on where they are, tho (Crushalot), but Team 1 is a bit farther, they started first and have more experience on the fights and in the instance, Team 2 started two or so weeks after Team 1 started, and Team 3 started this week (if not wrong).

Here’s my friend Curain :o

I’ve been experiencing glitches for a while :( And it has been getting worst recently

Last, but not least, yet another quest that changes your race, lol

By the end of Pulse’s Karazhan Team 2 first week, six bosses were taken down ^_^ It’s very cool, considering the problems we’ve had during the week with a few “minor” of things ;) Here are a couple of screenshots of the boss fight

Did you say screenshots?

Before I start, after a couple of reports from readers that were having issues with my previous template (I really liked it T.T) I’ve decided to switch to something else. The problem here is that Internet Explorer is pretty bad when it comes to things like CSS and new web programming technologies (people should use Firefox IMO). I mainly liked the template because I think that a three-column design is helpful as you can show a ton of info in the screen. The one I’m currently using is a very basic one, I’m not sure if I’ll stick to it (opinions?), I don’t want to get into deep-editing unless people likes it. Both previous and this ones are templates that are already made, I just modify the looks of it (images, CSS, etc.).

Anyway, a couple of days ago we tried 10-man Zul’Gurub, it went pretty easy, lol

We had to leave after we killed the Spider boss because a rogue in the group (it was kind-of a pug) tried to wipe the raid and I didn’t want to waste time with something like that. He got upset because I got mind controlled in one of those piles and I basically owned him with crits (I 3-shot a 70 rogue, lololol). When I got mind controlled I went after a paladin, and somehow I turned to the rogue and killed him (hahahah).

Anyway, about Karazhan

[item]Pauldrons of the Solace-Giver[/item] – The Curator
[item]Gloves of the Fallen Champion[/item] – The Curator

After having some technical dificulties before The Crone boss (Wizard of Oz @ The Opera), we managed to down her pretty easy after learning the tricks and the whole event. The Curator was kinda hard, but we also killed him ^^

Here are a couple of screenshots about those bosses

By the way, I usually edit the screenshots adjusting their levels, but for some reason I think that the monitor I use @ work is shtty so the colors that I see here might not be the ones that are commonly seen, so please let me know if the screenshots are too dark (so I edit the levels again) or if they are fine.

Something I love about The Burning Crusade is that Blizzard really came up with some really cool quests, I’m almost done with those in Shadowmoon Valley, and let me tell you, there are some really funny stuff over there, lol

All those screenshots are chain quests. In the first one you had to control a NPC and do some cool spells on the red guy, and on the last two screenshots you had to control a Fel Reaver (a big machine, like a Mechwarrior) and destroy 60 Infernals in a field full of elites and normal mobs, lolol. You could sprint, throw bombs, do some sonic missile and other pretty cool stuff. I don’t think that you need a quest to be able to control him *cough*

Yesterday I was trying to farm for stuff to level my enchanting from 266 to 300 (to be able to disenchant epics from Karazhan), so I went to Temple (in Swamp of Sorrows) and I had a newb-moment

Everything was going fine until I tried that dragon boss, I sneaked most of the time and when I attacked him I totally forgot that he aggroes the whole place… so I got totally and completely zerged and died to all those mobs Q.Q
