this contest will SELFIE-distruct in 5...4....3...
Well ok, I did it...I am actually going to ATTEMPT to participate in this silly SELFIE contest...
https://blizzard.wishpond.com/photo-contest/entries/31886279
But with my..uh...dedication..to things we'll see how this goes. But, if anyone is curious, here was my Week 1 entry:
This is my lovely 90 Paladin Jardian who was actually my second victim for this endeavor, my first being Dust, but....Goblins that close to the camera is actually...pretty scary.
Yeahh...
And in the sample pic from the site had the guy doing a kissy face at the camera, but after four attempts Jardian wouldn't kissie-face for anything, so that pic was the next best thing. I did feel sorry for the little gnome that was also attempting this...it seemed she was having just as much luck.
Another reason why I chose that Jardian pic is because I was spamming the 'picture' button so much many of the photos still had the 'Photo captured' text across it...that was annoying. Welp, we'll see how this goes...good luck to anyone else attempting this!

......
Not only have I not kept this up, I haven't kept WoW up...I let my subscription lapse due to funding... But...That dry spell is about to end and we'll see if I can truly pull out a max level toon in a span of two weeks....

-that spell isnt' ready- Temper on cooldown
Ok, so...Had a chance to play a little of Draenor, and so far its a resounding, eh. Its not bad, its not great, but then again, I'm not all the way through it just yet. In fact most of my 90's are still around or near the starting area, mostly just due to lack of time.
I'm hoping things will get better, but in all honesty, so far I think I liked Mists better. This opinion may change as I play more through. Its a weird feeling really. Lore has always been kind of my thing, ever since Warcraft II and being able to see all it in action, in its heyday, should just tickle me pink...but it doesn't and I'm not sure why. Maybe its the strange story flow, maybe its the wonky enemy power near the beginning to make it easier for new 90s not to get completely creamed, maybe its the vast player/level gap (new 90s vs veteran raiders in the same area), maybe I'm expecting too much, maybe I just haven't given it enough time..Whatever the reason it has generated a rather tasteless opinion.
Garrisons are nice, but their sheer convenience feels like its taken something away from the game...but again, not a whole lot of time in it. And I hope this isn't a distraction method like Isle of Time was..."Here go play with this for awhile since we didn't put in enough content..."...
Yes, its a whole entry of eehhh..
so...yeah, my awesomely unhelpful, bland opinion on Draeno so far.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!! (SERIOUSLY)
Lok'tar friends...
First off, I'm not even going to apologize for my absence becase 1) I don't have enough followers to upset and 2) Nothing's been going on in Warcraft to warrent my attention...
..until now..
(rant warning!)
Recent patch "6.0.2" brought with it the classic 'pre-expansion' quest line that is "supposed" to lead into the main content....And it is the absolutely WORST pre-x experience I have EVER had.
("""""Spoiler alert"""""" if you REALLY want to call it that.)
Logging on to a main character at max level gets an automatic invite to the pre-e quests. I was eager to jump in at this oppertunity wondering if was going to be another fun/interesting situation like pre-cata or something painfully grinding heavy like pre-Mists...came to find out it was neither. In fact, it was lame. Lame, lame, lame. You go to this place, talk to a few people, kill things and report to warcheif. That it! That's all that you do! It took me a whole whopping 30 minutes...30 FUCKING MINUTES on my shaman.. MY RECENTLY REVAMPED RESTO SHAMAN to clear all of the quests! Yes, granted he's in LFR gear, but that was WAAAAYYY TOO EASY!
Anyone remember pre-cata? Where you had to go into your home city, disable time bombs and dress up in that awful, hideous purple hooded outfit to infiltrate the cultists? That was not something you did on an every day basis in Warcraft and it was fun/amusing (though not very challenging still memorable.) Or how about Pre-Mists? When you had to gather all that Kor'kron shit. Man you grind at that fucker for a month and play your points right, got gear, a pet AND a title. Was it needlessly monotonous? Hell yes, but FUCK at least you felt like you EARNED it!
This time? Do this, kill that, oh and here, have a title and a pet. THAT'S IT.
oh well, then it was for story telling purposes....
You wanna know what these quests told about the story? NOTHING. Absoufuckenlouetly NOTHING. It doesn't say what happened to Garrosh, or even how he was able to be smart enough to GET to the past, or WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THRALL?! And what's his deal anyway?! Is he Horde? Is he Earthing Ring? Did he get stoned off his ass and someone attacked his head with a razor? (That's all im getting from the information at hand!)I'm very confused...
((And sidenote: keeping open-ended questions like this around will have throngs of fanfic writers tearing this apart!))
I almost hit the roof the first time I saw 'warchief Vol'jin' until I realized, wait, that was part of the game, in the raids. (Yes, that's how long it's been.)
And you wanna know where all this information is located?
IN A GODDAMN FUCKING (but well written so I understand) BOOK!
I am paying 15.00 a month for an MMORPG! R.P.G. ROLE PLAYING GAME. Which means I should have all access to whatever I need to play/understand what is going on in the MAIN PLOTLINE. I'm not asking for the entire book, but at least GIVE me an OPTION when I talk to Thrall to have a brief recount, from his point of view, to WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!
I have a hard enough time supporting the $15 sub, and now they want me to spend another10-15 on a BOOK?! FUCK THAT. No where in my Terms of Agreement does it say 'main storyline heavily based on external material that may require additional reading'. If Blizzard is going to rely so heavily on these 'books' then they damn well better make it part of my subscription! They sit there and praise themselves as awesome storytellers, then pull this kind of shit, FUCK THAT.
I can only hope I'm wrong. I hope that this is just a painful, unfinished, rushed, and stupidly put together mistake of a pre-x, and that whatever comes next will be so epically mind blowing I will forget this disaster even happened...
....sadly unlikely though, but hope springs eternal.

Dungeon Appriciation
yes, I know. I've been gone awhile....that seems like a thing for me, the more I'm dedicated to it the more I slack off. I apologize , and on to the post!
I wanted to make a simple post about dungeon and raid appreciation. Not so much in the sense of the people who run them, or the fact that 90% of the time when running through LFR at least 60% of your group will be switched out every fight, I'm talking about the dungeon itself.
Many times the beauty and awe of a dungeon/raid/structure is often overlooked due to tearing through the place like your ass is on fire. But ever go back after said instance is done and take a look around?
If you haven't noticed already I'm kind of an art inspired person and being artistic myself, nothing makes me feel better than someone else appreciating my art, so anytime I can, I will appreciate the art and craft of others.
Instance and structure creation is an art all by itself and should be appreciated, but it's so often overlooked due to the neck breaking speed people tend to tear through it. But ever wander back through the dungeon afterwards?
You should, if you like art and can appreciate all the work it took to create such an immerse environment. Take a look upwards, wander over to the sides, peer around corners and you might be quite surprised what you find.
Most don't give it a second thought, but I remind you that someone had to first do layouts, someone had to build it all in wire frame and rend-able 3D graphics w/shading and detail informatin, another took those notes into Photoshop and colored and detailed these objects, giving them texture, pattern and depth, then another comes through, adds details builds the structures, mazes and deathtraps while trying to maintain the feel of the area its situated in.
Look at the dungeons and raids carefully, very few are similar in pattern and design. Yes sets of raids (such as ICC and Pandaria) will all echo the same design, but each instance has its own feel, its own tweak, its own version of the environment.
So with this post, I put up some of my favorite dungeon/raid pics as a thank you to all those who have worked so hard to please the eye but are too far often over looked, and also to make others aware that even though you may dying, you're party griping about bad tank/healers/etc rest assure you will go down in a world full of artistic wonder and awe!
