How many little goldfarmers do YOU have? (Including those in the oven!)
Fjork — Fri, 05/22/2009 - 21:08
We've got a lot of new healers that need a LOT of work. We also have some old veterans that could use some new insight into how play their class as efficiently as possible. I'm setting up this one hour group session for all of us to get on vent and go somewhere to work on honing our skills. We'll be going over things like:
- Configuration of Grid and Grid-addons
- Discussion of Grid indicators
- Using indicators as a realtime guide on where to put heals
- Dos and Don'ts
- Macros: mouse-over cleanse, auto-trinket-pop, self-casts
- The focus frame
- How To Use Other People's HoTs/Shields To Make YOU Better
- Splitting up the raid into healing zones
- Gear choices: Longterm or Power-healing?
- Decisions: How To Decide Who To Heal?
- Why We Don't Always Care About "Healing Meters"
This will be a quick, fun way to get a lot of healing mains some information they might not have been exposed to yet. All healing alts and dps hybrids are welcome and highly encouraged to join. I have this scheduled tentatively for Monday evening at 9pm. The time may change, so keep a heads up. Please SIGN UP so we have some numbers on who's coming. This is me hoping that Yoggy is dead by then. If he's not, we'll push this until after raid.
Also, if you're an applicant to Downfall, I expect you to be here. Yeah, even the dps classes. Every raiding dps class needs a knowledge of healer techniques so that they can better work within the raid.
Everyone should come with the following installed and updated:
- Grid
- GridStatusRaidDebuff
- GridStatusHoTs
- Quartz
- Ora2
All attendees should understand how to write and use macros as well. See you all there.
Blizzard Downs Dragonspear

Where did Dragon go?
That might be the quesiton on a least a coupla peoples mind since Wednesday. And here I am finally with an answer although unfortunately not a timeframe for returning.
On Wednesday after arriving home from Campus I started to play some WAR (picked up the game last weekend) and then did my usual log off an hour before Salmon started so that I could get ready for raid.
Went ahead, logged in as usual PW and all and I get. That is not a valid PW for the account.
Scratching my head, I put it in again. In fact, I proceded to put in my Password for oh a good 5 minutes attempting to log in. Being very sure by the end of it to hit every character exactly. So I figure, oh well maybe something is just wrong with the log in currently I will try blizzard's website. Nope can't log in there either.
So I am like, ok, I'll just have them reset my PW, send me the e-mail and I'll be back up and running.
Then I get sent to the battle.net site. Finally, I get around to the PW reset e-mail screen and it says that it is sent and should be there shortly.
So I open up Outlook and wait patiently, looking at all my other lovely blizzard e-mails I have gotten in the past.
15 Mintues passes still without an e-mail. I do the e-mail reset thingy again thinking something got effed up. No dice. I keep waiting, letting people know in vent that I prolly wont be there for raid that night.
Finally after an hour waiting impatiently for the e-mail. I give up, deciding to call blizzard the following day.
I call blizzard as soon as I get home on Thursday and the rep says that he can't see Battle.net having sent me any PW reset e-mails. But he tells me he will send me one. give it 15 minutes and if it hasn't arrived in an hour to send him an e-mail so he can try looking at the issue before he leaves for the day.
STILL no dice, although I did get a response back from him. And he told me that another reset e-mail should be coming right after his reply. E-mail never arrives.
Friday - I get 2 customer service e-mails from blizzard but still no PW reset e-mail. Temper is beginning to rise at this point since my subscription had just renewed on the 11th. I send another e-mail to my support guy telling him I still haven't gotten the e-mail to fix my crap.
Saturday - I sent in an e-mail to their support people overall asking them if they have some other way I can change my PW or an ability where I can change my e-mail. No response back yet obviously as they work hard during the week and thus get weekends off. (Not berating them for that)
So long story short. I can't log in period. Not with the old PW and obviously not with a reset PW. WIth any luck this will be fixed tomorrow during the day , but I am growing cynical about it.
Anyway, if you would like to contact me in some way. You can find me on AIM: MCorpsParrothead or Yahoo: HurrikanEagle@yahoo.com
P.S. WAR isn't a bad game at all for the pvp minded, but it's pve content is lacking horribly compared to WoW. However one of the first mods I DLed for WAR once I got it installed. Grid for WAR! Known as Square.
And another one bites the dust
Alprazalam — Mon, 05/11/2009 - 14:15
I'm quitting WOW. A recent report card showed me that my grades were not as high as I would like them to be, and I need them higher if I ever wanna get into Pharmacy school, and since I'll be taking summer classes, I won't be able to really raid this summer.
I don't think I'm going to cancel my account yet. I'm a still try and log in from time to time and say hey, but I won't be raiding for awhile.
My biggest apologies to Sal'mon. The highlight of my Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of all my weeks was raiding with you guys.
Later
