World of Warcraft Retail / Re: Cataclysm Thread
« on: June 03, 2010, 10:54:15 AM »
God, I hope that snake is photoshopped.
An idea to play with (more/only) non-idiots: On Lightbringer, we have a channel, originally started as a channel for non-guilded alts to hang out in.
It's turned into a kind of public channel shared by people from 4-5 guilds (not entire guilds, just the people that want to hang out there)
Many times, we arrange runs there, or people ask for others to join their pugs. That way you'll know at least some of your teammates won't be pug/suck-tastic.

It will be probably be possible to gear up for raids only by drops, but you'll make it much harder (and slower) on yourself.
Allow me to explain:
While running heroics to gear up, you'll end up with a shedload of (triumph) badges anyway - every boss drops one on heroic. For about 120 of these badges you can buy an (unupgraded) 4-piece Tier-9 kit. That will provide you with a well itemized set and excellent setbonuses. There should also be 1 or 2 crafted items that are of similar quality, but these will require a few items (Crusader orbs probably, or runed orbs) which you can also buy for badges.
While getting these 6 items together, you'll also have gathered a decent amount of the higher level (frost) badges, since the first random dungeon (by using the dungeon tool) gives you two of these for free.
By this time these should allow you to buy your 7th item already.
...And then you're almost kitted out already. I don't particularly like the badge system either, but dayum, it's fast to get geared up nowadays by using it.
My advice - run with it. Badgers will rule the world! (of warcraft)

Can you PM me your wow username or whatever they use to label your account? (case ID or something)
I know a guy who knows a guy... I'll see if that guy knows a guy at the right department.

I'm on Alegria or Aicha most of the time I get to spend on the computer and wow.
Both are in a guild called <Easy>, which is my old guild (a social raiding guild would be a good description) on Lightbringer.
Not that that info is in any way helpful, but feel free to drop in on Lightbringer and say hi, any time you're bored.
Edit: cool guild name!

The Dog & Duck / Re: Away for a week
« on: February 06, 2010, 10:37:47 PM »
Great week - out of 6 days skiing we had 4.5 great days with good snow and sun.
First two days were a "little" cold (-25 at the top)
On day 3, it was a bit cloudy with bad visibility on the mountain, and the day before we left we had a snowstorm and didn't really get out of the house.
The day we left, there was around 40cm of fresh powder and sun was beginning to shine as well
...but all in all it was one of the best weeks of fun in the snow I've had, this decade.
Also, I highly recommend the area in france we went to (the far southeast, near the italian border.) Even the natives were friendly.

The Dog & Duck / Away for a week
« on: January 29, 2010, 08:19:02 PM »
You probably wouldn't have noticed me missing, with my haphazard activity on here and all, but I'll be /afk for a week, to try and see all of the 500km+ of prepared mountainside they offer in La Plagne and Les Arcs.
If I survive the French, I'll report back here on my adventures.
Ttfn!
