Another Go
by Laneer on Jan.15, 2010, under Group, Raid
Finally got to a make another attempt at ICC but not how I wanted. I ended up joining some guys 25 man PUG. I really despise 25 man raids because I just don’t feel like I contribute enough. Plus getting 25 people to do the right thing is a lot harder than getting 10 people to do so
We did fine on the trash leading up to the boss. The traps were well dealt with and we didn’t have any deaths. The DPS was good overall but we had a few people that were pretty under geared. Like the Hunter wearing greens and a few blues and then the tier 9 pieces
Eventually we started on the boss. Lost a few times then people start leaving, we wait around and replace them. Loose a few more times, then more people leave and we replace them. I think we did 3 or 4 rounds on this. They kept blaming the healers in the end. We had 3 tanks, but only two tank healers, a Pally and Me. Then we had 3 druids and a Shaman. People kept throwing up healing meters, I was like 4th of course, but I’m a Disc priest
Only the raid leader seemed to understand that everyone kept talking crap about me too. I never bothered to point out that the tank I was assigned to heal was the last one alive EVERY time. Actually the tank I was assigned too stuck up for me as well as he kept saying he was fine. It was a DK I was healing too.
Eventually we gave up and split up the group. After that I went and did my random for the day and went to bed.
New Armory
by Laneer on Jan.15, 2010, under Blizzard, Editorial, Site News
Took a quick break to check out MMO-champion to see what was up and saw Blizzard upgraded the Armory. They added some neat features, including a 3D view of your character modeled with all your gear along with a RSS feed of your recent activity. It shows stuff like Achievements, or Achievement Criteria, Boss Kills, and when you aquire an item. This seemed like a pretty neat thing to put on the site so I added it under my armory profile.
It is nice to see Blizzard continuing to develop the armory and is surpassing anything any of the other MMOs were doing, and used to charge you for even!
It is probably asking for too much but it would be nice if it showed things like when you aquired a pet, or mounts since these are things people collect and are proud of as well.
