WoW Chix

Gee it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I didn’t realize how long it’d been. My Gnome Rogue, Limeonade, is now lvl 24 (very close to 25 even). She should have been at least 30 by now but I’ve had other stuff going on. I’m specc’ing her Combat. Seems to working out ok so far. I pretty much know nothing about Rogues at all so I’m going by Rob’s guidance since he has a 50 Rogue. Also, Matt, a friend from Turalyon, is able to give me all the tips and tricks as he has a 70 Rogue.

The guild I’m in now is made up of Rob’s co-workers haha. It’s kind of funny. They made their own little guild. Only think that sucks is that no one is on during the day when I am… they are all at work =( So there’s not really anyone to talk to or anything. But I’ve always liked being in the same guild as Rob *shrug*

As for my Horde toons, I haven’t really logged on them very much in the last month. The guild that my toons were in decided to kick me out because I hadn’t played in a while. *shrug* So the fuck what. No big loss. Not like they were progressing anyway. That and the fact that Rob and I were always stuck on the back burner and ignored half the time kind of made it so that I don’t really give a damn. Ok enough of my bitching

I’m working on the new front page for the site. It’s not quite finished, so it’s not live yet. I’ll post an update when it’s about ready. The writer’s for the site have started to sign up and get their material ready. I know that one of them even has a blog site here on WoWChix.com. I guess I’m going to need a Blog Roll link somewhere now. I’ll get to it… at some point

*Jesster*

It is SO good to be back in my own home and with my own things and around my babies (my 3 kitties and my doggy) and in my own office in my own leather recliner. *sigh of relief* I love my home haha.

I’ve been a busy little beaver since I’ve been home. Working on my jewelry site, making new stuff for the winter carnival and buying all the things I need to get my table set up tomorrow has kept me busy. I’m a little nervous, what if no one likes my stuff? What people scoff and laugh because my stuff sucks balls? *psssh* Fuck that, my shit rocks and I know it *whew* I’m gonna kick ass tomorrow and make some mad cash…. *whimpers* I hope.

Anyway, in actual WoW news, (or at least in MY WoW news) for some odd reason I had an urge to make an Alliance character. My hubby has some friends at work that play on the Alliance side of Muradin, so he made a character there and I decided I would make one, too. I gotta say, my little gnome Rogue, Limeonade (with green hair of course), kicks some ass. She’s only level 7. But I didn’t realize that I would like playing her so much. I do have a lvl 41 Nelf Hunter, but I have never had the desire to go back and play her. I really like playing Limeonade, even though I hate the lower lvls, I can see myself playing her more often. I know that right now, Greg is mentally kicking me in the shin and cursing me for not playing my priest more. Let me explain how I feel about WoW right now:

I love WoW. I love WoW probably a lot more than a girl should love a video game. It makes me happy. If I’m stressed about RL shit, I can log onto my fantasy world and play my little people and make them do what I want them to do. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. But lately, I find myself not logging on… because, I feel so stuck with my Priest. I’m so pressured to do anything and everything. Raid this, gear that, rep here, and grind there. For the most part, when I play Amedeah, I’m sitting around doing nothing. No one wants to get a group together for anything I need because they are all off doing their own thing. No big deal though, I can always go grind my Netherwing Rep… which is pretty much all there is for me to do unless I get a group for badges. I’m tired of people telling me what to do on my Priest. I love my priest, a lot. I’ve spent so much time on her. Same goes for my mage, but I feel the same with her. There is only so much I can do on my own.

My guild is nice and all. But a lot of them are rather hypocritical and/or condescending.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been times (like when I first joined) where people made time to help me out with things, go on runs with me, whatever. But now, I can say something in guild chat and I’m ignored. *pssh* Whatever. I’m not the only one it happens to either. I’ve seen other people get ignored or completely looked over. So many times I’ve been told, “Oh Ame, just let me know what you need and I’m there,” or “Hey, just let me know where you need a run through and I’ll go.” But when it comes down to it, I can’t count on any of them *sigh* I’ve gone way outta my way, spent MY gold and MY time to help others. Even if it wasn’t on some big scale. But I’ve sat through many a raid with my raging headaches and my even worse back pain… just because they were short a healer… even though I had only planned to be on for 20 minutes or so. Bah. Whatever.

TBH, only a few people come to mind when I think about those that have helped in me in the game. My hubby, of course, has been the biggest help to me. I can’t even put into words how much. I wouldn’t even still be playing if it weren’t for him. Helel (Matt) has always helped whenever needed, was always down for a run. Shadowlife (Tony) was the same. These two were in my first guild, Crimson Tears. We just kinda stuck together after that. And then of course there’s Thurlarn/Peiyotee (Greg). A smartass to say the least (it’s part of his charm haha), but has never said no to helping when he can.

It’s kind of funny really, Rent to Pwn, that I joined with my Shaman right before Christmas, has been more supportive and is always offering to help with whatever I need. I’m always sure to get a good bunch of laughs and I always feel good while playing with those guys (and girls!). I’m not trying to bash the guild that Amedeah is in. Not by any means at all. I’m just saying that I feel more comfortable and appreciated and… I dunno… wanted. I feel like when I log into Amedeah’s guild, no one gives a damn. But when I log on to Koos or Thread, everyone says hi and what not.

I don’t think I want to try and raid right now. It’s just not working out with my current schedule. And I find it really boring anyway. It’s not worth all the gold I spend on pots, food, etc, only to die a million times because people don’t know what they are doing (and won’t listen to those that do). Right now, I’m happy logging on to Koos and doing a few quests here and there and now, possibly playing my gnome a little more. We’ll see how things pan out. But raiding just isn’t an option for me right now.

*Note* I really don’t want anyone in FL that might be reading this right now to get the wrong idea. I don’t dislike the guild or anyone in it. I just don’t feel that FL’s plans are for me, at least not at this time. If they wish to remove me from the guild, that’s ok by me. I would like to remain in the guild with Amedeah, but if the GM’s feel that I shouldn’t be there, ok then. I’m not trying to bitch about it or anything like that. I just wanted to make that note.

Ok *deep breath* enough of my whining about WoW for tonight. I still have things I need to get done to get ready for tomorrow morning. I have to be at Violet’s school by around 11am I think, possibly even a little earlier. We’ll see how things go.

Cheers,

Jesster

There are so many things I want to blog about that are negative tonight. So I will try and focus on the positive instead. It’s not worth it to me to sit here and get even more frustrated by writing about it. So let me talk about some other things.

I bought my epic flyer last night FINALLY! After selling every single thing that had any value at all and scrimping and saving every last copper for it. It’s worth it =) Now I just have to kill Zuluhead the Whacked and I can move on into the next part of my Netherdrake quest chain. A friend tells me that it shouldn’t take too long with all the daily quests and stuff I can do for the rep with the Netherwing. I think tomorrow I’m gonna try to get Rob and Thur to help me out with the group quest. We might need another to help out. Maybe Tony can help. We’ll see.

I went to Kara tonight with Amedeah. We downed Morose, Maiden, Nightbane, and Curator and almost had Shade. But I ended up having to leave early from the raid. I’m not sure if they gave it another shot or not. The Maiden dropped my Shard; I’m happier than a pig in poo. I’ve hoped that stupid thing would drop every time I went there. I had seen it drop just about every time on my mage. But when I brought my Priest along it was never to be seen. So this was the first time and I got it =)

I played Koos a little bit today. I rather hate being Beast Mastery specc, but then again I’m just not used to it and I don’t really think I understand how to use it to my advantage. Not to mention that I just tamed Creep (my Ravager from Hellfire) about a week ago and he’s only seen about 5 hours worth of play time with me so she is only lvl 2 when it comes to how much she likes me. She’s in a pretty nice guild right now. I fit in overly well. Kind of reminds me of Crimson Tears a bit, I’m able to be myself and not worry about getting yelled at for saying the wrong things in guild chat/vent.

I’m thinking about trying to find a way to set up the RSS Feeds for the WoW News to update directly to the site. I need to get together with Rob and see if there is a way I can just make a whole new page for it to auto-post on. I don’t know. We’ll just have to see how that works out.

I think I’m only going to try to raid one more night this week and that will be only to finish Kara. If we don’t finish Kara, I’ve decided that I’m not going to raid the rest of the week. I have other things that I need to focus on and when I make plans in WoW my “other things” never get done =( I’ve been trying to keep up with posts on this site along with posts on my other site (don’t forget to check it out btw! Link is to the right!). I just need to set aside a set time every day where I make a post for each site and do that at least 3 days a week. So that would be 3 updates a week for each site. Not bad I guess.

OoOoOoK then, I’m gonna get going for now. More tomorrow hopefully

Ok so after lots of though and consideration, I decided to keep WoWChix.com as a site. My whole idea for WoWChix.com was to keep a blog of opinions and observations on all things related to WoW and I am going to keep it that way. I am still going to work on ZomgItsAGirl.com and it will be my “main” project I guess you could say, as WoW has sort of been put on a back burner. But since I am still active in the WoW community, I will keep this blog =) I’ve come to like it, anyway hehe. But for those of you that keep up to date with me in this blog, please make it point to check out ZomgItsAGirl.com

Anyway, onto the real post:

So I have managed to save up enough money to get my epic flying mount on my Priest (atm I’m about 250g short, but I can make that in a day, so I’m not worried). It’s a huge thing for me *shrug* I’ve worked really hard for every copper

I need to respecc my Priest because apparently I am what they call a… oh damn what is the word? Oh yes! An aggro whore! I throw a heal and BAM! I get two shotted by some pissed off mob *angry mad face* I could be all bitchy and just blame the tank, but when I’m in 5 mans with my hubby on his Druid, I still pull aggro. We are able to kill about 10-12 (sometimes even more) lvl 70 mobs and I will never get hit once, that’s just with the two of us. We have also been able to take on anywhere from 2-5 same lvl Elites at the same time without me ever getting hit or pulling away from his threat. So I don’t know what’s going on but I’m hoping that a 20g respecc will do the trick

I had planned on raiding last week, but every time I got ready and all set to go, something came up and I couldn’t. Or I’ve waiting in the raid group for close to an hour and then all the sudden we aren’t able to go because we are missing 2 freaking people. So yay I wasted my time yet again waiting in a group for nothing. There have been a couple things that have bugged my about the current guild I’m in, though I understand that the things that bug me are “necessary” or whatever… let me explain (oh yes, I’m going to rant):

I get so effing aggravated about group invites, for one. Just today, a guildie was putting together a raid group for ZA and Rob was invited to go on his Shadow Priest. So Rob stocked up on all things needed for the raid (potions, spell dmg food, Wizard Oils, candles, etc) and headed on down to the Ghostlands. He got there, and waiting about a half hour for the raid to start while the group leader was “working out the class make up.” Rob was patient because he was excited to go into ZA for a second time. After waiting all that time, he got booted from the group to make room for someone else. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. It’s happened more than a handful of times to him. He gets ready to go and waits and waits and then gets kicked to make room for some random class. Wouldn’t you know a little sooner than a half an hour if he was going to be needed or not? I think it’s a huge waste of people’s time.  I think it’s rude to make someone wait only to kick them from the group right before starting because “Oh hey this person needs it more than you,” or “We need a (insert blank here) instead of a Shadow Priest.” If it’s the latter, then people need to make up their mind BEFOREHAND about what classes to bring along; if Shadow Priest wasn’t on the list, DON’T invite a Shadow Priest. On the guild forums, people were saying that’s it’s giving everyone a fair chance at having a go at the raid. But that’s a crock of shit! You don’t invite someone to the group just because they asked to go. If you don’t need them, don’t invite them. Don’t just invite them because you want them to think that you are going to give them a chance. I dunno…

The second thing… well, maybe it’s just me… but I get the feeling that everyone has their own little niche and the people within them don’t want “outsiders” fucking with that. There are different groups of people that stick together when it comes to getting 5 mans together, there are people that ALWAYS get invited to the raid no matter what class make up is needed and there are people that ignore other players within the guild completely. It bugs me that when someone needs a healer, they aren’t shy at all to ask me to come a long or when they need a tank they’ll ask Rob to hop on his Druid. But when one of us is the one needing a group for somewhere, you can hear crickets in guild chat/Vent. People are so willing to take but hesitate to give. Don’t get me wrong there are a choice few in the guild that I hold in VERY high regards. But I can’t help but to feel so left out and disregarded at times. I can never, and I do mean never, get a group for anything. There have been so many times that I can get one or two people to go (which is usually Rob and Thur) but can’t get enough to actually do anything so we don’t go, everyone just ignores the fact that I’m asking in guild chat (same thing happens to Rob on his toons), or everyone is “busy.” Gee, I wonder how pissed people would be during the day when they can’t get that group for what-the-fuck-ever instance they need for so-and-so item just because they are short a healer. *rolls eyes*

Lastly, I’m always being told to “gear up” and shit. There is only so much I can do by myself. The only upgrades I can get right now are either from heroics, turning in badges from heroics to the dude in Shattrath for gear, or raids. This kind of takes me back to the second issue. How am I supposed to gear myself up if I can’t get groups for Heroics for badges or if I’m always asked to sit out for raids? Yeah that’s great that I’m racking up the DKP by sitting on standby… but if I never get to see the drops what good does my DKP do?

I dunno, I’m touchy about certain things in WoW. Those three things are my biggest pet peeves. Like I said, maybe it’s just me and I’m paranoid about everything. And don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the times that I DO get help, no matter how seldom the help comes. And I’ve gotten pretty awesome gear from the times that I HAVE gotten in on the raids. I’m sitting on 2 pieces of Tier 4 gear right now (gloves and shoulders), plus a robe from ZA that I’ve been told is on par with T4 (thanks to Thur, who took me along on his ZA run), plus a few other mixed pieces of great gear. So honestly, I should shut my mouth and deal

Soooo, that was my post of the night, sorry it was so… bitchy haha. Maybe I’ll have a happier one next time

Cheers,

Jesster

Hello to my fellow WoW’ers out there. It’s been a very eventful couple of months in the World of Warcraft for me. I was invited into another guild, Forbidden Legion, on the Turalyon server. I have been in this guild for about a month now. I only have awesome things to say about this guild. For a long time now, Robert and I have been looking for a guild that we feel that we “fit” into raiding-wise. We want to progress through the game not just get stuck in one place on repeat. I think we have finally found our place. Kara, Mag, Gruul… all on farm status. SSC is taking one hell of an ass kickin’ too. I’m very proud to call myself a member of FL. Not just for the progression… but because of all the people that are making it possible

I had just “revived” a lvl 60 priest a couple weeks previous to joining. By the time I joined FL she was around 66 I think. I was in shock at how many people were trying to help me get keyed for places and helping me with quests. When I hit 70, they helped me get keyed that same day. And I was in Kara that night. I was also taken to Mag, Gruul and SSC the same week as hitting 70. I couldn’t believe how quickly I was moving with my priest. Friends from the last guild, and even the guild I was in before that, couldn’t believe that I had JUST hit 70 that week and was raiding 25 man content so soon. Getting T4 gear and also getting pretty well geared up from Kara. Robert hit 70 on this druid and he was keyed for Kara almost the same day as well. I’m gonna link my priest’s Armory page so you can see how good this guild has been treating me: Amedeah’s Amory Page

Oh, I’ve had some people in my guild ask where I got my name from; someone even asked if I got the name from Beethoven. Actually, I picked the name Amedeah, because she’s an angel. Here is a brief tell-all about her:

Amedeah Implicated in the protection of women, Amedeah is one of the more sensitive angels of the Creation. This angel tries to increase the faculty of Listening and Understanding in the earth of every man denying his own sensibility. Known as the "crying angel", Amedeah suffers with every woman victim of violence and injustice. The water of her eyes is blessed.

Sadly, I haven’t been raiding the last 2 weeks because my back has kept me from sitting still for more than an hour at a time. But I really hope that I can get back into the swing of things. I feel so bad that I haven’t raided. But when you can’t… you just can’t.

The people in this guild are just amazing. They are so helpful and eager to teach. I know that I’m always stupid questions but they don’t mind and I get the answers I’m looking for. The Guild Master, Bulji, is one of the most organized I’ve seen, funny to boot =) It’s just awesome to hop on Vent or even be in guild chat and talk with all these people. Never a dull moment, I can say that for sure haha.

Ok besides all the guild talk, I started a Warrior now that I have 2 70’s. Troll Warrior, even. At the moment, he (yes, I made a male toon lol) is level 18 and he plays along with Robert’s Shaman who is now 19. I like playing a Warrior so far… but eventually all my toons hit max level and I start yet another alt haha. Before the Burning Crusade, I would hit 60… and start another toon… hit 60… and start another toon. I don’t know why I do that lol. Koos, my hunter, is 60… that’s when I started playing my Priest again (who was 60 at the time as well) but I wanted to level up a healer. I missed being a healer for raids. I think I’m just addicted to making alts. Insane.

Well, Kiddies, that’s all for now. Ta!

So, last night, Needlles and I went to Kara with our guild Winter Myth. I was actually a bit surprised that after being gone almost a month, we were still invited to go the day we came back to the game ^.^ We just have a really awesome Guild Mistress haha.

Anywho, we didn’t get to down any bosses, Romulo and Julienne gave us some problems. We came kinda close a couple times though. I had fun even though it was mostly killing trash mobs =) It felt good to be part of a raid again. I know that Needlles was happy that we were able to go again. Apparently, the guild had downed 3 bosses the night before and were hoping to get the “two star-crossed lovers” down and move on to The Curator. I wish me and Needlles could have been of more help. I wonder if they are going to go back to Kara again tonight? *shrug* If anything interesting happens, I’ll let you know =)

 
Cheers,

Jesster

Me and a couple guildies (Needlles, Shadowlife and Rozel) all decided it would be fun to get into Hyjal. Hyjal is NOT open to the public therefor kind of hard to get into haha. It took a lot of jumping, dying and rezzing to get in… but we did it!! No this is not on a private server. People have done this before loads of times. Here are the pics (click to see them full sized):

So I had a really good run with my guildies today. We decided to go to the Blood Furnace. We kicked major ass =D At first, I was all bummed because my computer was being a piece of fecal matter and decided it was going to lag me to death. But by the time I got into the BF it was good and I was ready to roll. I seriously have Vista at the moment though. I installed it a couple nights ago and I swear, I love parts of it… but then… my Game Tap won’t work… retarded. And I lag in WoW so bad it’s crazy. So anyway, we had a great run. crap load of greenies dropped and could of good blues which Twinkanator got to DE and Michaelscott got a nice roguely blue off the final boss there. Grats all!

Not much to write about at the moment, I sort of took a break from the site today. I had being doing so much work behind the scenes and not leaving any time for anything else haha. So yeah, toodleoo and stuff.

Jesster

One of my guildies, Shadowlife, was helping me with Cruel’s Intentions a couple weeks back. After we downed him, I drank me up some Noggenfogger Elixir and decided to take a screenie of the both of us on our epics =D Here I am in all my tiny glory haha. Thanks Shadow =D

Anywho, that’s it. I was bored and wanted to do something. So I made a blog post =D Whooooo.

Jesster

I thought I would post a quick screenie of me and the hubby on our Epic Mounts while we were out in the Bone Wastes of Terokkar Forrest =D That’s really all this post is about haha. I spent SO much money trying to get that damned Kodo… with bongos on his butt ^_^ Woot woot! It’s so funny seeing a little tiny Undead on this huge ass Kodo! But I love it =D
