I go on vacation tonight, and I just can't get any real stuff done here at work, so I made some updates on the site again. The first one you'll notice is the news. Going along with the rest of my site, I took some graphics from the game (in this case, the Gossip Frame), and made it hold all the news.

Second, is the Guild Roster that I've been working on. I've actually been tinkering with it for a little bit now, but I think it's pretty much done and ready to be live on the site. I also made one almost identical on my guild's website.

P.S. Up to 11 kills on Nef (22 breastplates), and still no NW.

Last night was a good night for us. We cleared BWL for the first time on our new server, I got over a 10K crit from my Ignite tick, and I got loots.

First off, it was really something to do Blackwing with no lag. We weren't used to it. We've always used the lag, accepted its presence, and rolled with it. Had a wipe on Razorgore, since the mobs weren't standing around like normal, rogues pulled aggro on Vael, and hunters weren't getting the Tranq shot off fast enough with Ebonroc. Even with some wiping, we still did a full clear in 4.5 hours. It was actually our best run through the rest of the instance, kill-wise. People were actually assisting for a change!

For the 3^rd time in a row, I actually lived through the Nef encounter. I'm beginning to think that my problem was the [Limited Invulnerability Potion]s, since I always died when I used them.

New Loots!
[Mind Quickening Gem]
[Head of Nefarian] (turned into)
[Master Dragonslayer's Orb]

Now I go on vacation for a week and a half. Unfortunately I won't 'make it to the BWL clear again tonight (our server transfer wiped our saved raids clean). Hopefully, when Nef dies tonight, the #21 or #22 breastplate off him is Netherwind, because Nef is a bastard.

This weekend most of my guild will be transferring off of Stormrage. We've suffered too long with crappy lag every night but maintenance nights (like last night, we called the raid roughly 2 hours early). BotH disbanding and Ravage leaving didn't help much either. Stormrage was one of the first 10 servers launched (it was even in beta, I believe), so it has the oldest hardware. The Alliance outnumber the Horde horribly, and there's been servers opened after Stormrage that have been given the opportunity for a free realm transfer (Stormrage hasn't gotten anything). I have no problems now leaving the server, since all my friends are in DPS or have already left. For the most part, I don't think many people will be re-rolling new characters, since everybody seems to like their own so much. Too bad Blizzard can't have something like a "guild rate" for transfers... if we move 100 characters, Blizz gets $2,500.

The server we're moving to is Kael'thas, and the people there seem really nice. If you compare the realm forums, there's a huge difference. People aren't constantly putting each other down, and they all seem to hate drama. So on Friday (hopefully), I'll get a chance to transfer Unbarc, and be ready to play on our new home Tuesday.

So long Stormrage, and thanks for all the fish.

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted, but not much has happened. Nefarian has yet to drop any [Netherwind Robes] for us (10 weeks in a row)... last night we had stupid hunter armor drop on almost every boss.

Also, not even a month since 1.11.0 came out, the Test Realm is up for 1.12.0 already. Doesn't seem like a very good patch to me, cross-realm battlegrounds, World PvP, Rogue review.

Last night was our first full BWL clear, all in a single night. We did run a little longer than normal, but chalk that up to Stormrage being retardedly laggy, and us having some retarded trash pulls. Nonetheless, we have one dead Nefarian in one night.

Tonight, we get to venture out into Naxxramas for the first time. Also, I'll get to test out my new Fire Spec. Ray asked one of us to go fire for the Scorch talent, and I jumped all over it. Hopefully I like it as much as I used to (I haven't tried any of the new Fire changes with the mage review). Maybe we'll get real lucky, and a [Ring of the Eternal Flame] will drop off some Naxx trash, and give me some more incentive to stay fire...

Well it's been a little bit since I posted last... I've been enjoying the mage changes with the 1.11.0 patch. Earlier in the week, we actually didn't get the [Cloak of Firemaw] (which we tend to get almost every damn week), but instead [Firemaw's Clutch] dropped. Luckily, I got it, so I have a spiffy new belt.

Also, Blizzard decided to release a patch last night around the peak hour. The patch took people 20+ minutes to download. The patch was only 3.3MB! Nice of them to send that out right before everybody at the Blizz shop went home for the day. As usual, the 1.11.1 changes can be found in the Changelog section.
