The Saga of Gearing Finndo
Finndo — Thu, 05/08/2008 - 08:39
I thought I would use this blog to post my experiences and thoughts on
playing the night before (or whatever). Soooo anywhoo.... tried Arena
2v2 for the first time EVER last night with Tweaks, who was gracious
enough to invite me to his team. We got thoroughly smoked over about 6
or 7 games. Aside from walking away from the arena with a thoroughly
new sense of how bad I am at pvp, it was still fun. I respecced into a
PVP build for it, it may have helped, but I don't know how much.
I have come to the conclusion that PVP (arena play in particular)
requires quite a bit of commitment to get pretty good at it. I like it,
I think I could be good at it, and there is a little voice in the back
of my head saying "prove to the world that enh shammies can PVP
too!!!!"
Does this poll makes my ass look fat?

I'm going to be hosting some Tempest Keep instances Friday night, and I'm going to bring Freakelf with me to tank it up. I can bring Heals on Feudara if no other healer volunteers, so all I really need is a couple DPS/CC to sign up, and we should be good to go.
I'm going to try and get a Heroic Botanica, and possibly a Heroic Mech after that. This is a great opportunity to see a new guild app in action, and form your own views on it. You won't want to miss it.
T1- Freakelf
H1- Gingerbeer
D1- Feudara
D2- Tweaks
D3-
If you aren't listed above, sign up anyway. I still might be able to get you in
Guild Bank
garreth — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 09:55
The Downfall Guild Bank is split up into 5 tabs for now:
- Raw Mats
- Lock Down
- Consumables
- Shinzmom
- Raid Mats
Various ranks in the guild have access to deposit into different tabs, we ask that you please deposit ONLY the following items into each tab.
- Raw Mats - Ore, herbs, leathers, metal bars, cloth, uncut gems, and all worthwhile profession materials that cannot be simply purchased from a vendor.
- Lock Down - Only a few guild ranks can deposit into this tab. This is where we put high level materials and items that should not be simply open to anyone to take out like BT gems, primals and motes.
- Consumables - All pots, cooked & raw meat/fish, high-level scrolls (Spirit, Strength, Agility and Protection ONLY please), and flasks
- Shinzmom - All the other odds and ends. Please don't deposit grey items no one will use or can simply buy from a vendor. This is a good place for quest items, BoE blues, magic resistance greens, etc.
- Raid Mats - Primals, repair bots, shadow resist mats, high level consumables and other odds and ends used for raiding.
Help us out and make sure that we keep this thing organized. Let me know if you're having any trouble depositing or withdrawing at any time.
Repair/Withdrawal Gold: At the time of this post, all guildies ranked at "Balla" have up to 35g to use for repairs or withdrawal daily. Use at your own discretion, though it is HIGHLY encouraged that core raiders please use this feature to pay for raid repairs. Raiding costs a lot of money as it is, please allow the guild to help cover some of the costs of progression.
I think we're at the point where we need a guild-wide Vent meeting again.
8:30pm, Sunday night, hopefully after the mAlt Gruul's run.
I would specifically ask that ALL members of LF1M and Hamfist be in attendance.

This is something that has bothered me for awhile, so I supposed I'd get into it here.
About a week ago I was on <Kill Order>'s vent horde side, when one of their former hunters (who had transfered off the server to a guild in BT/MH). The hunter stated that I did not know when I was talking about when I responded to his statement of "ya I killed someone with only my 2 swords and a bow." I quipped back with "Well hunters can solo Illidan at lvl 65 and thats the reason that the hunters can't use his Warglaives."
Long story short, I was told that I didn't know shit about the class and having a 70 hunter on the arena test realm (which I don't) doesn't make me an expert. I was told to go kill Illidan and then maybe I'd know what I was talking about.
Now as far as the hunter goes, he knows nothing about me, as the only toon I have that is older than my hunter is my original paladin. I also know for a fact that given a head start, if a hunter knows what they are doing they can normally kite someone to death. This however is all beside the point.
"If you haven't Killed Illidan you don't know what you are talking about."
"If you haven't gotten over 2k in S3, you don't know what you are talking about."
Grats on your Deathcharger!

Seven Ways to Win Back Your Gaming Spouse

Here is an interesting article from on of Yahoo's video game reporters/writers. Though I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, most girls I do date do not play video games. For those of you who have spouses or girlfriends who do not play *cough* turth, you may want to share this. Either way I found this article funny and think it was a nice read.
"if they call you a "n00b," it might be time to think about kicking them to the curb."

Just a Thought

I find it evermore intriguing to just sit back and analyse the social interaction of the raid and guild - and those in other raids and guilds. The communities have such a large variety of levels of "social norm", in terms of their boundaries and what they classify as "Acceptable".
Particularly on Thaurissan, the environments in the guilds are seemingly apparent to have very ambiguous formats. Simply friends who have joined together - or those who share a common goal, ie. PVE Progression, PvP. The social standards are much lax then Gorgonnash, people accept what people say without taking offense - for the majority.
I think it's highly reflective of the empathy those on the Oceanic Server have for one another - being Australians, Asia etc. They understand the concept of the differing levels of being malevolent and malicious and just joking. I believe its a direct correalation of the social norms we share in Australia. And on Gorgonnash, where the attitude of everything tends to be taken in high offense, pays particular comparison to American Society, which is showed by racial and social uproar.
I don't know if those in The United States need to take a stepback and evaluate what they define as offensive and not - or rather Australia has just losts its values as a whole and don't bother in classifying social norms. Either way, both attitudes, on both servers, by the majority, are respected and transcended through the generations of new gamers.
It'll be interesting to see how Generation Z applies themselves to this social online environment compared to Generation Y - only time will tell.
