PTR PvP Server couldn’t handle the heat

My character finally got transferred to PTR (PvP Server) last night, sadly I couldn’t use Gahlok so I’m using Gahlol instead. Anyway, a couple of guildmates went over there as well so we could try Zul’Aman. The instance is located in Ghostlands.

I guess there were a ton of people that didn’t finish loading on my screen, but I just keep running towards the big gate, which is the instance entrance. Inside….

Before I keep going there are a couple of things I learned by the last screenshot:

  1. When you take off your UI all the names are gone
  2. After you transfer you need to respec (GG).

So, after someone told me to check my talents I noticed there weren’t any, so I had to go all over to Stormwind to find a trainer to learn stuff —.—

After I was done I took a gryffon, but since I was far I kinda asked for a summon, got it, and guess what… got bugged. After I teleported to Ghostlands my character got stuck into running thru walls…

Then, after it finished loading all, I knew what was going on…

Seems that the gryffon teleported with me to Ghostlands… and it seemed that he was going to take me back to Stormwind to keep going thru the “route” —.— I relogged and I fell thru the world WOOT lol

And then my ghost showed up in… Sentinel Hill!

Lesson learned: don’t take a summon while you are flying on a gryffon ^_^

After I got back to the instance, that little table is the new thing that mages can do that gives you a food that regens both health and mana.

Looks like alot of cosmetics… hahaaha.

Now, inside the instance

After that the server got some massive lag and I was able to walk up to the next boss without getting killed

101407-16

After that not much to say, we had server issues so it was lag, dc lag dc or something like that.

101407-17

Oh, btw, I love how /cancelform works ^_^ It rocks sooooo much ^_^

Then, as for now, the PTR PvP Server is still down so there’s not much I can say…

Another guild first: Teron Gorefiend ownd

101207-01

After some struggle, last night we managed to take down Teron Gorefiend, one of the bosses in Black Temple. People mastered their ghosts fairly fast last night.

[item]Twisted Blades of Zarak[/item]
[item]Insidious Bands[/item]

I got the [item]Insidious Bands[/item], which right now are #1 tanking bracers in the game. On that attempt that we got him down I was a ghost ^_^

I still think that Teron is probably the coolest boss fight so far (that we’ve encountered), just for the fact of the ghosts. Here are some group screenshots

After we got him we went to try Gurtogg Bloodbloil, the trash to him is rather… interesting.

Before we called the raid we got some attempts on him… damn, the fight seems rather complicated —.—

On other news, seems that Kael’thas is getting nerfed… again… on the next patch. Good game… —.—

Wrecking instances

101107-01

Lets see, this happened last tuesday, we managed to kill the first three bosses in Hyjal (Rage Winterchill, Anetheron and Kaz’rogal) and the first two bosses in Black Temple (High Warlord Naj’entus and Supremus) in a single night. This is, taking into consideration, that we got Kaz’rogal (the third boss in Hyjal) for the first time ^_^

Luckily for me, there’s a recent bug attacking Mac Users (with patch 2.3) that makes us crash, which it seems is provoked by addons that uses special sounds. I crashed like 4-5 times on Winterchill, on Anetheron I crashed once, I was so concerned because I wanted the [item]Pillar of Ferocity[/item] to drop. After we killed they linked a piece of mail and plate (I think) so I was like “awww”, and then I received the item (the staff), rofl ^_^

101107-02

Oh, I almost forgot, here are a couple of group screenshots on Kaz’rogal kill (guild first)

101107-03 101107-04

After we killed him we went to Black Temple (as I mentioned) killing the first two bosses.

Then last night we killed Shade of Akama and had attempts on Teron Gorefiend. I’m not sure if I’ve said it before, but after you kill Akama there are some very nice animations

Then, for the first time, I saw trash to Teron (and the boss itself). Here are some screenshots of the area from Akama to Teron (the trash is really nice, and last night we had a ton of gems dropping)

Teron Gorefiend, probably so far he’s one of the fights I really love, just because the fight itself is totally different to other fights. There’s not much else I can say right now, but even tho we didn’t kill him last night, we got him to 5%. I’m not going to be too harsh, but the fight is easy… but I guess some people haven’t mastered yet their ghosts… /shrug

101107-13

101107-14

On all the attempts I was only able to get ghosts twice: one when we were about to wipe and the second time, it being really my first time killing, it was so ezzz and fun lolol ^_^

As for the entry with a more detailed information about the addons I use (and my pitbull interface), it’s comming soon ;S Then for some reason I think I’m missing something on this post, but I can’t seem to remember what it is GG
