World of Warcraft: 40+ Minute LFR Queues
I mentioned how I’ve switched from World of Warcraft to Starcraft 2. Between the two, I briefly went to Diablo 3 and cleared half of Act 3, becoming bored and almost falling asleep in the process. Part of the reason I stopped was that a friend of mine (actually the only remaining true friend I…

World of Warcraft: Why I Do Not Care for (Progression) Raiding
I had joined a 25 man ICC Heroic this past weekend and was on my friend’s Mumble server. One guy in the group deplored the whole LFR mechanism, calling it for “noobs” and “scrubs.” That guy rubbed me the wrong way (outside of having a terrible hick accent) in possessing this oversized ego but it…

World of Warcraft: My Current Progress and Experiences in Patch 5.2
We’re now about to get into the 4th day of Patch 5.2 for Mist of Pandaria. Much of what I’ve been doing (outside of helping a friend level up a bit) is focusing on gearing my guys up further and doing dailies on my newer 90 level toons. I’m attempting to avoid Heroics and seeing…

World of Warcraft: What to REALLY Do in Patch 5.2
There are a ton of cutting edge guides talking about all the new things for Patch 5.2. With all the information available, it can be overwhelming. But what these guides do not reveal is what you, the casual PVE player, should or can be doing in Patch 5.2. First, the raid schedule shows that like…

World of Warcraft: The Legendary Waste (of a Gem), Problems with LFR Drops and Ideas for Improvement
With Patch 5.2 on the horizons, I ended up upgrading my Paladin’s two handed sword Starshatter using my Valor Points. I had been hesitating up until this point because I had hoped that I would have acquired the Sha Touched axe in LFR. Having run Sha of Fear around 13 times on my Paladin, I…

World of Warcraft: Clearing Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring
Tonight was my first time clearing part 2 for the LFR version of Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. Since my job had wound down, I finally decided to get back into putting effort into my Paladin and make some progress into the game. Matter of fact, I did 4 of the LFRs…

World of Warcraft: Druid Now Has the 4 Piece Set
I got lucky with two rolls tonight on my druid. One, which really isn’t as pertinent, is the Wrath of Unchaining trinket. Someday, I might attempt to gear as feral. Ironically, her feral gear actually is quite good and may make her a contender as a future bear tank. After completing LFR part 2 with…

World of Warcraft: Add My Rogue to the List
On Sunday, my rogue hit level 85. Unfortunately, because it was kinda late, I did not have a chance to run through the entire HoT Heroics to build up enough Valor Points to get her throwing weapon nor procure enough gear to hit LFR. However, the good thing was that the reset occurred today so…

World of Warcraft: When to Do LFR (at the Moment)
When Diablo 3 first came out, the World of Warcraft essentially died as a huge number of players migrated to the latest fad. Although there still is a fair number of people playing D3, I think that the initial mass rush is over and people are slowly returning to WoW. The fact that the queue…

World of Warcraft: LFR Looting System Suggestion
Although the LFR looting system will be completely changed in Mist of Pandaria, I think that the current looting system still can be upgraded with a patch. The looting system rules is pretty disastrous in that people with better gear can ninja items that others need while those that participate, perform their roles well and…
