World of Warcraft: The Absolute Necessary Feature for LFR
Today, I experienced a rather disheartening DC where the servers just randomly shutdown while I was in an instance. At first, I thought it was my cable modem or router freaking out again, but it turned out that the problem was Blizzard’s server instability issue. The thing though was that I was at Dark Animous…

World of Warcraft: How to Gear Up Fast in Patch 5.3
Gearing up in the current patch has never been easier.

World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong
Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…

World of Warcraft: More Progress in Patch 5.3 for Me
The past week or so I’ve been really hitting LFR and certain daily hubs hard to boost my toons as much as possible. I started to farm Throne of Thunder parts 1 and 2 now that I’ve become quite comfortable with the fights. Part 3 I’ve only done twice and still find it a little…

World of Warcraft: Boss Mechanics, Farming and LFR
When patch 5.2 hit, I felt that the game went in the wrong direction, hence why I quit for a bit. One thing I noticed about the fights were the general increasing complexity. While making fights more interesting can be a good thing, I think the developers are wrong because they don’t really understand their…

World of Warcraft: Has LFR Ruined Raiding?
Over on the World of Warcraft forums, there’s a bunch of threads talking about how LFR has ruined raiding. While LFR has its share of problems, I feel that the essence that people believe which is raiding has not been ruined by LFR. There are two aspects I think people refer to when it comes…

Okay, I got bored after finishing my Prometheus 2 script so I’m back to playing World of Warcraft slightly ahead of schedule. Patch 5.3 has a bunch of goodies mostly along the lines of loot and nerfed XP so I didn’t really want to miss out too much. So far as a casual player, I’ve…
