Wrath of Z - Adventures in WoLK #1

For my MR Lovies who are spread across the universe with crapola internet and an inability to visit the MoonRaven forum. I will be reposting my antics here.

Most of you have had the pleasure of making my gaming acquaintance, and won't expect anything different from moi. Those who don't may be extremely disappointed, but hopefully at least mildly entertained.

As I prepare to share my Wrath experience, I just wanted to remind you all that, although I am a dedicated gamer...

I'm easily distracted by shinnies.
I love to dance naked for coins.
Gear should be color coordinated at all times.

That about covers it

Feel free to ask questions as long as you don't require a technical answer. If you have something you would like me to check out for ya, will gladly. I can even screenshot- so let me know if your itchin to take a peek at something


Day One (not counting the 2 it took to download)

Took me almost 48 hours to actually get to play. Within an hour of getting all the stuff d/l'd, they went down for a patch hehe The joys of beta!!

My Mod whore self is playing Mod free. Major enviro shock for me! I had forgotten what the basic layout looked like.

My Toons: 70 Lock 56 Shaman (char tran)
56 DeathKnight Draenei

Soon they are opening up the premade option. So I can create a lvl 80 toon and check out the end game stuff.


DK's start at lvl 55. All races have the DK option. They come with green gear no weapon and 20S. Not even enough to buy a cup o coffee. Broke, unarmed but damn are they schexxy. Oh and I came able to make mageweave bandaids. came in handy as noted below Smile

I was a bit confused...err more overwhelmed at first. The mechanism of play is different. You have to gain rune power like a warrior does rage which then triggers some of your power spells. But there are also 3 schools of magic you draw from. (blood, unholy and i forget the blue one)

Took me a death(S) to figure out how it worked. But upon death an angel came to me and offered to rezz me, telling me my time had not come. Very nice noob area feature. Hope mine follows me out of noob area.

The quests have been pretty straight forward. Some of them grant you an extra talent point. I had 4 or 5 talent points before I dinged 56. Which took me less then 2 hours to do. Weapon, runeforging and some decent upgrade stuff on the starter quests. I got to steal a horse hehe By the time I dinged, I had 8G just from quests and kills. Didn't last long once i trained though.

The action bar changes, which freaked me out. When your mounted, your dismount option is on your main bottom action bar. There is a quest that threw me into shadow form, and my action bar changed. Once you know to pay attention to that, it helps making staying alive easier.

I haven't checked out any of the achievement stuff yet. But you recieve tokens for meeting certain achievements. Just don't ask me what the tokens are for yet. I know you get awards for things like completing 500 quests, becoming honored with 5 different factions, reaching artisan in 2 professions. Killing certain bosses. just a few that come to mind.

The realm with Northrend has been down a bit, so I haven't gotten to take my lock there yet. I did however make it to the barber shop in SW for a haircut and an ear lift on my shammy. Very expensive. Think it was 6G, but a girls gotta keep herself well groomed ya know. I went blonde. I hear they have more fun.

More to come...


ciao 4 now

    I already decided that I am respec'n back to Ret with the pally just based on the changes I have seen.

    Oh yeah and it totally sucks to not have any add ons but I understand why they won't let ya. That is all for now.

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective             In “ Color Struck ,” Zora Neale Hurston (2005) illustrates the tragedy of a couple in the 1900’s.  John, a light brown-skinned man, and Emma, a black woman, attend a cake walk to represent their community and bring home the grand prize.  Emma is so preoccupied with her misguided ideas of the prejudices of others that she inadvertently sabotages her relationship with John.  Her paranoia and insecurity run so deep, that they remain with her for 20 years and ultimately ruin her opportunity for true love a second time.  Exploring a work of literature from a p sychoanalytical perspective “aim to reveal the influence of the subconscious in the text’s plot, setting, conflict, symbols, point of view, language, and character development (South University Online, 2010, para. 1). From this perspective it is revealed that the prejudice that Emma accuses everyone e...

Confused..

(repost from May 2010) I have been wondering lately.  What happened to the days when people actually gave a shit about how their actions or words would effect others?  Does anyone think outside their own existence anymore? I have a temper.  Hell most of us do to some extent.  I have learned via trial and error how to keep it in check.  I have learned that sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.  Especially when I am pissed off.  Anger never translates to reason and understanding.   When I start to do something, I often ask myself how it will effect people.  Am I going to step on toes or hurt feelings.  Is it going to make me look like a total douche bag??  I have always been the type to "try" to filter my thoughts before I blurt or react. I know that I have stopped myself from things based on the answers to the above questions.  Sometimes stopping myself helps spare others while in turn hurting me. Typ...

Long week...

It has been a long week.  One foot in front of the other...one moment at a time.  That is how I have learned to plow through this proverbial roller coaster of life. Disappointed to be going on vacation with out my Love. Excited to be getting to go on vacation. Sad to be away from hubs while traveling. Ecstatic to get solid quality face to face with sissy. Frustrated that my health has so much control over my life. Blessed to be alive to face these challenges. Annoyed at work related BS that effects my financial well being and having no control over it. Thankful to have a job. Its a balance....
