FUUUUUUUUUUUU Blizzard!

I still havent had the money deposited to my battle.net account. Today is the third business day if you are counting "business hours". If they do not, then this is day 4. This is pissing me off. I have still not been able to play Pandaria and I am considering just not getting it and playing something else. Fuck these guys.

I ended up playing MW3 last night with my sister as it is a free weekend. We played a decent number of drop zone matches and won the majority of them. She is still learning the game and not incredibly accurate with a gun.

That was the problem I had at the beginning. I would get too nervous when aiming and end up getting killed by whoever it was that I saw.

I am going to continue to check throughout the day to see if Blizzard fixes this.

You are effing up Blizz!

Still no fucking cash in my blizzard account.....even though I put it in there three days ago. WOOHOO. Hopefull I will get to play MoP by this weekend.

In the meantime, I am continuing to play Diablo 3. My Barbarian is up to paragon level 6 and my mage is now level 33.

I am going to try and run more ACT 3 with Bearness because the loot is shittier in ACT 1, and it is more fun to play with someone else.

Still No MoP for me, Pet Battles, and D3 Progression

So, as the title says, I still do not have MoP. Hooray. It feels like it is taking forever to load money into my blizzard account. I appreciate that they are being through, but come on! I want to play the new fucking expansion! This is the first one that I have not been able to play on day 1.

What I did get to do in WoW is some Pet Battles. The main two that I have been using is the Clockwork Gnome (Now named SheldonCooper) and the Core Hound Pup (Burny).

They are quite fun, catching the other pets of the World.....of Warcraft. I believe I have captured all of the different pets in Elwynn Forrest, Westfall, Redridge, and Duskwood. I will need to level up some other pets so that I dont have to rely on just a few.

In Diablo news, I have been making some progress. Last night I decided that I would give the rest of Act 3 inferno a shot solo. It worked out better than expected. I did die several times, but I was able to kill everything and only really had issues with a couple of very bad roles on rare packs.

The bosses seemed to be quite easy in comparison, and I took them all down in one shot. I am not really looking forward to Act 4 because I know some of the bosses there are going to be real sons of bitches.

I also continued to level my Wizard. Everything was going wonderfully....until I got to Diablo. I kept getting killed at the third phase....over and over. I took a break, and came back with the mind set of kiting the crap out of him. I ended up taking him down on the first try with the mind set. He is now in Act 1 of Nightmare and level 32.

MoP: First Day....I still dont have it

I tried to add money to my Battle.net account last night since I already had 19 dollars from Diablo 3 sales.....it is apparently going to take 1-3 days to go through. What the fuck Blizzard?

So, I may not be playing all of the thing that Pandaria has to offer today. I am not sure what you can do. Maybe I can create my Monk. Perhaps I can do Pet Battles. I am not sure. It is rather disapointing however.

On a side note, I am still enjoying Diablo 3. I gained about 4 more levels on my Wizard last night and ran a few ACT1 runs on my Barbarian. I basically caused the Butcher to melt. He was dying in around 15-20 seconds each time.

The Wizard will most definately be my second character to level 60. I find the class very enjoyable in comparison to Demon Hunter. I may eventually get them all to level 60.

Weekend Update: D3 LIVES!!!!

Yes, this weekend was spent mostly either playing MW3....or as mentioned in the above post, D3.

On the WoW front, I did very little once again. A transmog run of BWL, one scenario, and some auctioning. That was it. I am quite glad that MoP is coming out tomorrow.

I ended up playing a lot of D3 this weekend. I went into the weekend not expecting to play any.

It all started with my sister getting into some D3. She had started a new Barbarian, and I figured I would level along with her when she was on. She outleveled several characters, but I got play time on three toons I had not played much recently.

I gained a level on my Witch Doctor (level 12), two levels on my Wizard (level 22) and one level on my Monk (level 30). Next up in progression in my Demon Hunter at level 40.

That led to Bearness inviting me to run along through Act 3 since I had not yet completed it. At this point, Bearness is a whirlwinding machine of death. I am not a whirlwinding machine of death. I did pretty decent in my tanky build, but was not doing well at all in double whirlwind. We played up through destroying the Sin Heart before I had to log off.

Bearness was also nice enough to hook me up with a couple of great pieces of gear (including an super duper awesome Storm Shield).

With Pandaria coming out, I dont know that I will get a whole lot of playing time in WoW, but I actually enjoyed it and will certainly be logging back onto it.

I am now Paragon level 3 on my Barbarian, which is very unimpressive. At least there is some incentive to continue playing your high level characters.

Thoughts on the New Scenario.

Meh. It wasnt really what I expected. The story was pretty blah and I didnt find it to be engaging.

I dont think it is scenarios in general, which I think could be a very good idea (LoTRO does the very well).

This one just did not catch my fancy. Afterwards, I got a tabard in the mail, so that is something cool.

By completing it, you get a theramore bag....I am not sure if there is any kind of loot in it besides fireworks and a few gold. Nobody in my group got any kind of loot. Anyone know if there is other loot in there?

Overall, I am more than ready for Pandaria to already be out. CANT WAIT!!!!

What MMOs would you like to see made?

I often times think of what kinds of games I would like to be made into an MMO of some sort.

There are quite a few universes that I would love to play, be it from an RPG or from a TV show or movie.

The number one game on my list (which I think they actually are making) is Shadowrun. That is my absolute all time favorite pen and paper role playing game. I absolutely love it.

It takes place in the near future where magic has been reintroduced into the world and we have made nice technology strides. You play as a Shadowrunner.....a mercenary who works in the shadows and does the dirty work that the world needs done.

Obviously, there would be the standard fantasy race choices.....human, elf, dwarf, ork, and troll.

Some of the other things that I thought would potentially make a fun MMO are Battlestar Galactica and Stargate.

I absolutely love both of these shows and could see some very good potential.

Stargate would be interesting as there would be an unlimited number of world to explore, and each one would have to be discovered.

What are some of the things you would like to see turned into an MMO?

Dragon Soul again and Fallout 3

Last night I ran the first half of dragonsoul again, but this time on my Paladin. My wife had computer issues right when we got into DS the day before and got kicked, so I decided to run with her.

I must say that I really enjoy the new Ret Paladin DPS rotation. It is very active and quite easy. I was also top ten in DPS, so that was nice.

I got a pair of tier pants and a new belt which I am sure will be replaced ten seconds into MoP.

Today I am hoping to get our friends group together to do the new quests which came out last night. They are apparently made for 3, but I think that 5 will be even easier.

In other news, I decided to play through Fallout 3 again. This time, I plan on checking out every single area of the game. Explore everything and do all of the side quests. I think that will be a good amount of fun to do from time to time.

I am itching for MoP to come out.

And I'm back

Vacation is over, and I will be back to my regular posting schedule.

What did I do in the gaming world while I was not posting? Well, not a whole lot to be honest.

On the WoW front, I reposted my auctions daily. Yesterday I ran the first half of dragonsoul on my Hunter and it went well.

I have noticed a nice DPS increase since they changed the talent system. About 5k more dps for my hunter.

I am really looking forward to MoP. Something new is certainly welcome.

In MW3, I finally have more kills than deaths and more wins than losses....which is more than can be said for most of the players that I play against online.

In other gaming news, I actually farted around on a couple of other MMOs. I played a bit of Warhammer online, and was having fun, but it gets a bit difficult to PvE as you level. Everything seems more geared to groups, but there are not nearly enough people online when you get past the starting area. I may play a bit more of it until MoP comes out.

I also played a little bit of LOTRO. I played a couple of scenarios and did a quest in hobbiton where I went to every INN and got drunk. There was a summer festival going on, but it did not seem like much fun.

Going forward, I will be back to my normal posting schedule.
