And the raiding has started!
And I am sitting
here just playing around. Half of my
normal raid team isn’t geared yet, and I have just started scheduling things as
of last weekend. Last weekend we had one
team run heroics, and one do regulars.
It informed me that we have a bit of a ways to go. If we go.
I’m still not
convinced that everyone is coming back for this raid tier. Other people I don’t believe are going to
hang around long enough once the right opportunities open up. In my head I am debating the energy to rebuild
the raid team if it is going in the direction I think, and I just don’t think I
have it in me this time around.
Between school
and real life I feel stretched thin. A
couple expansion ago I had every class leveled and had a good idea of how the
specs worked etc. I just can’t do that
anymore. I have debated throwing in the
towel but I have folks that have run with me since Wrath that I don’t want to
abandon. I hear that phrase that it’s my
fifteen a month, but I feel obligated to those who have played with me for
years.
My question is, if
I think things aren’t going to work out, do I let them know now so they can
look at greener pastures? Or do I try and hold on to see what happens? There is a chance I’m just writing this in a
pessimistic mood and that this weekend I will hop on, folks will be there and
we can jump in. I still think in the
best of luck, we are a couple weeks out from starting raids. That is if folks show up.
My beef is that
the gearing isn’t hard right now. You
open up world quests, and spending a few hours a week I have been able to get
to a very decent ilevel to hop into things.
Class hall quests help, so does finishing each zone including the slog
of crack addicted elves in Suramar. I
finally got to revered with them and can now run dungeons that won’t reward me
with anything I need because they were gated.
But that’s a gripe for another time.
Maybe I’m old
man grumpy, or maybe I am just tired. If
my situation just change the question is, does this blog become the
orneryraidplayer? Runner? Who knows?
Other than
that, I did manage to do an LFR and the new raid in Emerald dream looks
fantastic. There are a lot of NSFW jokes
I could make here, but that is not my mission in life. I would rather tell them in person.
As a guild we
have swapped to Discord as a voice service.
I am enjoying that so far, but I am also in the Beta for Blizzard Voice
chat and if that works it would be an even simpler solution. I just couldn’t justify having Fantaa keep
paying for Ventrillo when we don’t use it often enough lately. Not when there are some great free options out. I glanced at the Curse.com option as well,
that one starts free but looks like it starts to charge after a while.
Well, I think
that’s about it for now. The big news in
Wow is that folks are raiding, the game is as fun as it has ever been, and
there is plenty of content. I am slowly
starting to poke at a couple of alts now and will hopefully have a second or
third one-ten character in a few weeks.
We will see,
