Disconnections abound!

Hi,

One constant theme for this week, since the pre-patch has been the constant dis-connections. I get DCed when logging in to a character, when I heath on a character, and sometimes after playing a character for 10 minutes or so. I can usually get in after logging into WoW again by supplying my email and password, but it's pretty frustrating. It happens mostly with characters in Stormwind City, I'm absolutely convinced it's all to do with the new CRZ of main cities. I've posted on the Tech Support forums about it and that's all I'll say about it for now. I hope it's fixed soon.

When I do get in, I've been leveling in the morning, and playing my 100s in the evening. Ohh, I started a Gnome Hunter, she's finished with the starting zone and Elwyn Forest and is ready to hit Loch Modan. I also leveled my Shaman a bit, and my Warlock, and got my Rogue and Panda Hunter higher and both of them into Cata. I actually did a little leveling in Cata one evening too. CRZ wasn't too bad. They are now 83, and 82, and will soon be both ready to hit Uldum. I can't wait to get them to Pandaria and then into Draenor.

Now to the 100s. I've stopped doing Garrison missions, even on my Tailors. I can start the Tailors again once the prices for Hexweave Bags start to rise. I'm not seeing that yet. So, I've been getting gold in other ways. On my Ghostlands characters, I've been going through and finishing up Draenor quests. There are usually a couple of quests in Gorgrond and Talador that aren't done yet, and a few in Nagrand too. Also, on a couple of them, I went back and start finishing off MoP quests too. Flying from the shrine, they did Inkgel Mere in Kun-Lai, and then finished off the quests in Jade Forest. Gives a nice bit of gold. This is the way I'll make lots of gold before Legion.

In addition to that, I'll also run Cata Raids, but I'm concentrating on getting all the Draenor quests done first.

That's about it. Here's how the characters on Garrosh look:

Priestybrit (100) - Human/Priest (Herbalism 700/Tailoring 700) - iLvl 702
Draenybrit (100) - Draenei/Hunter (Mining 700/Jewelcrafting 700) - iLvl 675

Stabbybrit (83) - Gnome/Rogue (Skinning 507/leatherworking 95) 
Pallybrit (60) - Draenei/Paladin (Mining 237/Blacksmithing 105) 
Panadabrit (82) - Pandaren/Hunter (Mining 465/Engineering 92) 
Shammybrit (32) - Draenei/Shaman (Herbalim 143/Inscription 91) 
Blondybrit (29) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism 109/Inscription 90)
Nightybrit (24) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalim 96/Enchanting 90) 

Frostybrit (60) - Draenei/Death Knight (Mining 275/Jewlcrafting 78) 
Smashbrit (14) - Draenei/Warrior (Mining 31/Blacksmithing 45)
Huntingbrit (12) - Gnome/Hunter (Skinning 29/Leatherworking 1) 

The plan for next week is to continue leveling across the board, and making gold on my 100s. I'll also hopefully get back to posting a pic or two to brighten up my blog.

Cheers.

The Pre-Patch is here!

Hi,

I just thought I'd make a special mid-week post to give you my thoughts on the pre-patch.

If you don't know, 7.0.3 was released yesterday, that included all the stuff from Legions, except for Demon Hunters, the Broken Shores continent, Artifact Weapons, and leveling past 100.

So, we got all the class changes, the wardrobe, all the UI improvements etc.

So, I logged in when I got home, and after it loaded the patch, it played a cinematic for Legion. This was extremely well done, and a very good cinematic indeed. Varian and Sylvannas against the Legion. Awesome stuff.

The first thing was to check all the Garrison missions, to confirm fears that gold missions in progress would change (even though they completed before the patch), to give GRs instead. It was pretty difficult and time consuming doing all the garrison missions and shipyards, because Masterplan hadn't been updated. It's the only addon I use. Anyway, it was right, all the gold missions gave GRs instead, and no more gold missions. Crates of salvage just give GRs too. Follower items got nerfed to vendor for 5c too. There are really no gold making opportunities for Garrison any more.

Except for - Hexweave Bags, and Savage Blood. I firmly believe that Hexweave Bags will go up in price as there is no bigger bag in Legion. Also, Savage Blood can still be used to buy the Bloody Gold Purse (giving about 50g each). To this end, I decided to keep doing Garrison and Shipyard mission on my 2 Tailors on Draenor, my 2 Tailors on Ghostlands, and my Tailor on Garrosh. The missions will give GRs (to buy Sumptuous Fur with), Primal Spirits, Sorcerous stuff (either Earth, or xmute to Earth). We'll see if this is all a good investment or not.

Other than that, I'm still doing Imperial Silk for Royal Satchels on my Priest on Ghostlands, so I got her talents sorted out (mostly passive ones) and headed for Timeless Isle. There were so many people there. She did manage to get quite a bit of Windwool Cloth though.

I then did Kazzak on my Priest on Garrosh. It went fairly well, but seemed to take longer than previously, but she got a 725 cloak drop (shame I already had a 721 2/2 one :)). but, an upgrade is an upgrade.

I don't mind the changes to Shadow Priest at all. The rotation is mostly the same, and it still feels fairly intuitive.

This morning, I sent my Garrosh Hunter to Nagrand to trap elite Riverbeasts. It was a bit of a shock. I was getting the down to half health fairly quickly, but my poor wolf was taking lots of damage. I had to use Mend Pet a lot! Not so keen on the BM Hunter changes, but I can live with them.

Other than that, I've done a bit of Thorium mining on my level 60 Pally. She's up around 265 now, and just needs to get to 275 before she's ready to hit Outland.

The new professions panel is great. The nameplates take getting used to. Haven't looked at the wardrobe at all. Sparkles on items, and glows on the ground of mobs for quests look really good.

It's a big patch and will take a lot of getting used to. I'll have to figure out other ways to make gold (I'll let you know about those on Monday), but will have more time for leveling and playing my 100s, now that garrison stuff won't take as long.

Cheers.

Back with a vengeance!

Hi,

So, I was indeed bored and frustrated and quit the game for quite a while. But then I figured out what was getting in the way of me enjoying the game. It was the garrison chores. So, after a while, I decided to play free form, starting up on another realm, and starting from scratch.

The realm I chose was Garrosh. It's a fairly low populated realm with Alliance bias. I started playing on Alliance.

I started with the idea of only play one character, and seeing what it was like only playing one character at max level. I leveled a Priest (Tailoring/Herbing). Because of my dislike for CRZ, I only leveled in the morning before work pretty much, but did do some dungeons in the evening. For the first character, it was - Get to 100 as quickly as possible! I got her to 100, but then realized that I needed to buy Sorcerous Earth and Savage Blood to upgrade crafted gear. Yuck. So I decided to start another character. I started a Hunter (Mining/JC). Meanwhile, I was getting the Garrison in full gold mode, and getting the shipyard fully set up on my Priest, so lots of Baleful gear was coming in.

When I took a look at all the slots Baleful gear took up from shipyards, I settled on a crafting set of Chest, Ring, and Weapon. So, to craft these for my Hunter, I'd need an Engineer for the Gun, and a Leatherworker for Chest. So, that's two more characters. Aww, what the heck, let's get all the professions. So, 4 more after that, and that got it up to 8 characters. I only have 2 to 100 now, the Priest and Hunter. All the others are on their way. I'm now only leveling by questing, and only leveling in the morning. That's why it's been rather slow.

Then, I realized that on all my realms, I still don't have a max level DK or Warrior. So I started those two up and now have 10 characters. I've been leveling mining on the DK and she's almost ready to hit Outland.

Here they are:

Priestybrit (100) - Human/Priest (Herbalism 700/Tailoring 700) - iLvl 701
Draenybrit (100) - Draenei/Hunter (Mining 700/Jewelcrafting 650) - iLvl 673 

Stabbybrit (78) - Gnome/Rogue (Skinning 453/leatherworking 95) 
Pallybrit (60) - Draenei/Paladin (Mining 237/Blacksmithing 105) 
Panadabrit (76) - Pandaren/Hunter (Mining 432/Engineering 92) 
Shammybrit (28) - Draenei/Shaman (Herbalim 117/Inscription 91) 
Blondybrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism 98/Inscription 90)
Nightybrit (24) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalim 96/Enchanting 90) 

Frostybrit (60) - Draenei/Death Knight (Mining 275/Jewlcrafting 78) 
Smashbrit (14) - Draenei/Warrior (Mining 31/Blacksmithing 45)

I'm still doing Garrison missions on all other 22 leveled level 100s I have to keep the gold flowing in., and open salvage crates from all of them on the weekends and vendor the results. I make about 100K per week. About 70K from the missions and vendoring, and about 30K from the AH for things like Huge Ogre Cache, Medallion of the Legion etc. All this obviously changes tomorrow, when I'll cut back to only doing garrison stuff on my tailors, and not making gold from it.

I recently just bought 2 more tokens for my main account, and two more for my secondary account. Didn't really put much of a dent in my 6 Million gold :)

Other stuff I'm doing is gearing up my characters on the other Alliance realm. I really stopped playing them before Tanaan Jungle patch, so I've now taken them all into Tanaan and am getting them some good baleful gear.

The plan for next week is to switch from Garrison for gold, to finishing up questing and doning bonus objectives for gold (on Draenor realm). I'll be leveling on Garrosh, and hope to get both Stabbybrit and Pandabrit to level 80.

Cheers.

Sooo Bored and Frustrated, and thus....

Hi,

Yep, not enjoying myself in WoW any more. I'm getting increasingly bored and frustrated with it. I find myself messaging my friend so many more 'Yuck', 'Yikes', 'Dammit' messages than 'Yay', 'Sweet', etc. ones.

I'm bored with doing Garrison chores.
I'm bored with running Follower missions.
I'm bored with the Shipyard.
I'm bored with doing Tanaan Dailies.
I'm bored with killing Kazzak.
I'm bored with LFR.
I'm bored with grinding rep.
I'm bored with running old Raids.

I'm frustrated with the amount of Preserved Mining Picks I'm getting.
I'm frustrated with the amount of Felblight I get from Kazzak.
I'm frustrated with the crew I get on new ships at the Shipyard.
I'm frustrated with the queue times for LFR.
I'm frustrated that I need Proving Grounds to queue for Heriocs.

In other words, everything is just now boring or frustrating. I think I'm burnt out, and I think WoW is a game that has moved away from something that I can have fun with.

I used to have fun leveling tons of characters. But with CRZ that is horrible, and not something I want to contemplate. I used to have fun doing tons of dailies in MoP, and running Heroics. But now we have the bonus objective type dailies, and stupid Proving Grounds for Heroics.

I don't have guild mates or friends in the game (except for one Bnet friend). So, I've been treating the game as sort of a solo RPG mostly, with group content only occasionally. It seems that Blizzard doesn't really want you doing that in the game, and they've gradually pushed people like me into a corner, and are squeezing them out of the game.

Thus, I have decided that I'm going to stop playing WoW. In fact, I stopped yesterday. I really doubt if I'll be back for Legion either. More Bonus Objective stuff at end-game, not looking to get rid of CRZ any time soon, and more frustrating RNG on top of frustrating RNG.

Sorry folks, but that's the end of the blog. Maybe I should start up a new 'Phil's Gaming' blog or something, with the games I will be playing. Currently, that will be Civ BE Rising Tide. I also dabbled in Torchlight II for 10 minutes last night. I'll probably look for other single player Steam games, rather than look at MMOs any-more.

In fact, here's the new blog: http://philgamingmusic.blogspot.com/

So, in closing.  I just want to thank you all for viewing my blog and for making me feel good about the viewing numbers. I hope I've interested you, and kept you a bit entertained while doing this.

Cheers.

Really Gearing Up!

Hi,

The major focus for this week was trying to get all the characters to 690. I almost managed it, with only Magey and Combat now below 690. This was done by doing tons of Tanaan Jungle, and funneling loads of 695 upgrades to all the characters, if they couldn't get 20K Apexis themselves. One problem I found was that you can only have one Baleful Trinket. So Combat is left with a 615 one. She's been trying to get a drop in LFR or off Kazzak, but with no luck.

Hanging out in Tanaan Jungle
While we're talking about Kazzak, I did kill him on every single character again this week. This gave me upwards of 100 Felblight, and I was able to make quite a few Mighty Upgrades for my character's crafted gear. I have now upgraded all the pieces to level 5, except for two. I'll complete them this week. Then it's on to Savage Upgrades at 60 Felblight a pop. I need 1800 all told, minus 60 for the one Savage I've done so far. 1740 needed. Let's say we get 100 per week. That's 18 weeks :) Let's hope Legion isn't early :)

I tried to make Master Plan progress across the board this week. I took Elfy through Talador and Nagrand and got those completed. I also did 700 Cooking on Shammy and Elfy, and worked a bit on Priesty's Archeology, and Beasty's Fishing too. The only Rep stuff I did was the Tanaan Dailies. I'm sure that Hand of the Awakened will be one of the factions to Exalted on all my characters. It was a good week for gold. I completed a 6K ship mission successfully, and sold quite a lot of stuff on the AH.

Talking about Shipyards, I've now got them up and running on all 10 characters. 5 have the Oil Rig now, and the other 5 are working on it. I'm also trying to perfect the ships, decomissioning any Tauren, Orc, Blood Elf and Troll crew ones, and keeping any Goblin, Pandaren, or Undead ones (trying to get one Murloc Destroyer too :)). Once I have this sorted out, I'll perfect the counters they have, and have 10 efficient fleets to bring in tons of gold.

Apexis Bonus Time!

Hi,

Yep, it's the Apexis Bonus event this week. So? You might say. Getting bonus apexis off mobs is kind of meh. But, the weekly quest 'A Time to Strike', that you complete by doing 5 Apexis bonus areas, is the easiest of all the bonus event ones to complete. Just do the daily, and then 4 more, and bingo, 1000 Oil, 1000 GRs, 5000 Apexis, and 500 Valor. I started doing this on my lowest geared characters first, to get them better geared up.

As of now, I have completed on 6 out of 10 characters, and hope to finish on the other 4 by the end of today (because I have the day off for MLK day).

That's what I've mostly been doing this week. I've also done Kazzak on 6 out of 10 characters, but haven't had as much time to play as normal, as we've had friends staying with us for a few days.

So, it's really been about gearing up, and doing Tanaan this week. Other than that, it's been AHing stuff for gold, doing garrison chores, and to be honest, not much else. Magey and Combat did get their garrisons fully fleshed out and are now contributing to the gold total. Also, a couple of notable Gold things this week were two Bligtron missions for 4K each, and a 6K card on my scribe. A very good week for gold.

Master Plan:
 
Leveling: Get each one to 100. Counting 90-100. Out of 100.
 

COMPLETED. 100/100 100%

Gearing: Get each character to 690. Counting 600-690. Out of 900.
 

Lots of upgrades this week. 857/900 95.2%

Crafted Gear: Get 3 pieces of fully upgraded gear on each character. Out of 180 (given 6.2).
 

A few more upgrades this week. 142/180 78.9%

Professions: Get 2 professions on each character to 700. Counting each profession. Out of 20.

 

Nothing new this week. 17/20 85% 

Secondary Profs: Get all 4 secondary profs on all to 700. Counting each prof. Out of 40.


Nothing new this week. 13/40 32.5%

Complete Draenor: Each zone complete and Bonus Objectives complete. Out of 50.
 
 
Nothing new this week. 30/50 60%

Guild Achievements: Get to 200.


Nothing new this week. 100/200 50%

Gold: Get to 500K Gold on each character. Out of 5M.
 
 

A good week. 1,463,000/5,000,000 29.3%

Cheers.

Shipyards are Back!

Hi,

Yep, Shipyards are back big time. With the recent quality of life improvements they made to them, they are definitely worth doing now. I recently expanded from 5 Shipyards to 8 shipyards (and will eventually run 10).

Priesty doing ship missions
My first three (Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy) have all got Voljin's Headhunters rep to revered and now have the Oil Rig. The first 5 have level 3 shipyards, and the other 3 are working on getting to level 2 and level 3. I've been looking on wowhead for the best mix of ships, and considering the best mix of ships for the gold missions. But what I've decided on now is a balance of ships and equipment to keep all the mission rewards rolling in, but to concentrating on getting crews that will really help. So, I'm going with:

3 Destroyers, 3 Battleships, 2 Subs, and 2 Carriers.

And I want Pandaren, Undead, or Goblin crew. For now, if I get Troll crew, it is OK (to get ship equipment for free), but they will eventually get swapped out. This means a lot of decommissioning of ships and re-rolling hoping to get the right crews. I did spend some time on Priesty getting the Ghostly Spyglass equipment blueprint (from a rare in a cave in South Tanaan), and will work on getting Priesty's whole fleet sorted out, before working on the others.

Other that shipyards, I spent a lot of time on lots of characters in Tanaan Jungle. They all did Kazzak this week, for lots of Felblight. They also did the daily a lot, to work on the rep. I was lucky to have Ironhold Harbor as the daily quite a few times. It's my favorite. Ironhold Harbor and Iron Front are my two favorites, with Zeth'gol next, then Fel Forge, and Temple of Sha'nar being my least favorite.

Priesty was the only one who did the Saurfang quest this week. That's because it was Black Gate (Archimonde!!). I'd never done this before, but plunged right in. We wiped the first time, as there were lots not hitting the adds. Second try was better, but we still failed. We finally downed it with 2 stacks of Determination. Nice cutscene to finish off too. I'd recommend doing it for the cutscene if you haven't done it before.

I also did a lot of gearing up. Between all the 20K Apexis upgrades I was getting, I also crafted a lot of 5/6 equipment, and upgraded a little bit with Valor too.

I did work on reps a bit, working on Priesty's Arrakoa and Frostwolf rep. Priesty did the regular garrison Skettis daily, and also did the FFR one when it was up.

Magey and Combat continued to work in lockstep, upgrading their garrisons, and are nearly maxed out and will contribute to gold soon.

The plan this week is more of the same. Shipyards, Tanaan, Gearing up, working on Rep, making gold. Hopefully the Saurfang quest will be an easier one.

Cheers.
