Been having some bad luck relying on numbers lately

I think I'm gonna move to the next app, this one is proving difficult to pick apart (thats my thumbs up)

youshouldrun (not verified) — Mon, 05/05/2008 - 10:07

Correct me if i'm wrong but is an average of 50-60 minutes a week of play time mean that hes been playing for alot longer than he says? (one hour per week means 24 weeks per day played) or if its 50-60 hours then hes been playing for 17 weeks? logging over 2 days played a week would mean in 17 weeks hed get 34 days played.?

Just sayin.. theres something wrong with that math. Perhaps i'm averaging too much or focusing too much on numbers but that DOES NOT COMPUTE (robot voice)

Hey grasen Im not tryin to take your job or anything..... but think about it.... you .. me... dead horde around us..... *end dreams sequence* We could be the "crew and rottenfuture'' of the alliance... If you dont know who they are, visit ironforge's mage area on a friday and youll get a 4 on one introduction.... Think of all the mayhen, dead horde... we could cause a ton of damage

starstalker — Wed, 04/23/2008 - 11:18

Wait until you (if ever) get pulse to the outlands. Then you will hate war starters. Nothing worse than being caught up between 2 guilds intent on killing every other horde or alliance in the zone, when you are just trying to collect your last <insert quest item with ridiculously low drop rate here>

Its not so bad on my hunter, as I can usually defend myself pretty well. My little priest, though, I swear he has a target painted on his back.

Crazytexan — Wed, 04/23/2008 - 10:34

well damn garreth... if your looking for "help with ganking" might I recommend Tex's Death Squad...... 100% reliable and gaurented to either end the unpleasurable ganking expirence, or start one hellova war... EITHER way its gonna be a shinding... And its something for us "raidless" scrubs to do while farming dailies and gold. Why not help make this world (of warcraft) a better, safer world for our childern... Hire "Tex's Death Squad" nextime you get stunlocked whild killing demons on the Isle of QD cause you know its going to happen again...

 

 

Forgive me for being completly off topic...

Holy shit! It's Papajoe! Hai!

I won't go into a long drawn out support post I'll just add to Grasen's comments....his comparison to Allikat...100% accurate.  And his forum attitude is all him in game G...I'd bet all my G and gear on it.

You guys bring up some good

tweaks — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 22:59

You guys bring up some good points. I have downloaded necrosis, as for enchants, I'm actualy in the process of farming up some gold for them, I just spent most of my gold on gems for both my main, tweaks and my alt papajoe. I should however have enough by tomorrow night for some. As for me getting into raids taking quite some time, that's alright with me, I understand that the guild has lots of members and is very organized, and a new addition would make things difficult for raids. However even if I do not raid for awhile, I see this guild as a great oppertunity to meet new people and be an asset for the community as well because I love helping out. As for jumping into tier 6...well, I guess I'll just have to hang out in gruuls and mag if I was accepted and invited to come to one of the raids, till WotLK came out then I could progress along with the guild.

Thats's a really kick ass

garreth — Wed, 04/23/2008 - 01:40

Thats's a really kick ass attitude.  I really really hope that it translates into the game because these are the type of people we need in guild, regardless of raid.

Let's talk about how often you're on.  I'm making a massive push to get our relatively inactive people much more active in dailies, arenas, 5-mans and 10-mans.  We need people that can use the site, are on often, and have people and organization skills.

I don't need another 70 standing around shouting "I'm bored" when there's twenty f'ing people online in Shatt.  I need someone who will help the newly 70s with their quests and help out people that are getting ganked.

I need a few more Grasens, in other words, LOL.  How often do you play?  You don't have to be a hardcore raider in Downfall, but you have to be ONLINE and available for our people.

I'm on prety much much every

tweaks — Wed, 04/23/2008 - 09:27

I'm on prety much much every day, I work monday 8:00 AM server time till bout 2PM. so I usualy log on shortly after 2 and stop playing at about 11 or 12 AM servertime. Tuesdays and wednesdays I'm off so I am on about the whole day, I occasionally log off for breaks, but their not too long. Thursdays and Fridays 8AM till bout 4PM. Saturdays 12 to 10 or 11, cuase i have to close the store those days. Sundays 8 till 8 to 4. I am usualy online shortly after those times whe i get off of work, I live about one minuet from my work so if i schedule some help for an instance or somthing and its the same time I am done at work, I'll be about 5 minuets late. However for the next few weeks I am gonna be studying for my A+ certification so about the next two or three weeks on my days off I'll be logging on early afternoon after I finish studying so servetime I'll be on at about 11AM servetime. How's it going Aidin?

Grasen's picture

I can safely say that

Grasen — Wed, 04/23/2008 - 08:52

I can safely say that attitude you speak of Garreth does transfer well into game.

I'd probably level tailoring

Agoney — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 15:13

I'd probably level tailoring and get FSW/Spell strike. Following Cisper.. I'd advise against :p. We do alt runs and such with gruul and mag, but even those are packed with a waiting list. Your available content is extremely limited (we dont run SSC/TK anymore even). Were you looking to jump right into tier 6?

 

(Sorry for the blunt questions, but it always makes me curious, so im asking :P)

I have known papajoe/Tweeks

Grasen — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 16:44

I have known papajoe/Tweeks for close to 2 years now in game. He has always been very helpfull and friendly.  The Malt runs would be new content for him as well as ssc/tk malt runs that will probally happen in 3 mo or so.  To compare him to someone in guild i would compare him to Allikat. His helpfullness is unparalleled and always has a good attitude. I think he would make a GREAT addition to guild with the understanding that it may be a while before we can show him much new conten beyond gruul mag.

A few things to mull over.

Hoshiko — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 12:13

A few things to mull over.

I highly suggest using Necrosis - Great little warlock tool. (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2213/)

Spell hit is your friend, your end goal for 25 mans will be 202, so a few gem changes, 15 spell hit to gloves and a head chant will go a long way.

It might just be me (if it is, I blame the computers @ work) but I don't see any enchants on the things shown on armory, that's a good chunk of damage and stats being missed out on.

As Shihli mentioned, raid spots are not always going to be there, so being patient is key. (The downtime would be a great time to grind out those enchanting mats, gems and so on)

As a former affliction lock myself, I know that cast sequence plays a pretty decent role in how the spec plays. In what order do you like to cast spells and why?

Well, that's about all I can think of at the moment.

(edit) Fixed a few spelling errors.

garreth — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 11:50

Tweaks and I have talked a few times and I was always impressed at how considerate and polite he was.

That said, seeing things like "as long as I get into some of the other raids..." make me uncomfortable.  We're at the point where most new ginvites are for very specific raid needs.  I think we're rock solid on locks so if an invite did happen, you'd be raidless for quite some time.

Dufe's picture

He should be able to see

Dufe — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 11:25

He should be able to see Mag/Gruul at the very least, although there's not much content involved there I suppose.

Shihli's picture

How long do you intend to

Shihli — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 11:15

How long do you intend to stay in Downfall?: 

Don't intend to leave really, as long as i get to see some of the other raids in BC

We can't guarantee that you'll see 25-man raid content.  Does that sit well with you?
