world first!

we were in IF training up (66, woohoo!) and doing some shopping when an urgent call went out in /1 for everyone to come to the military ward. "horde?", we thought? we mounted up and rode over to check it out. the scene we arrived upon was epic. a raid and a half worth of valiant heroes banded together to battle the greatest foe IronForge has ever faced. naturally, we charged right in to do our part. it was a long and hard fight, but in the end the might of the Alliance prevailed and the dreaded Heroic Training Dummy was beaten down. obligatory kill shot below.



world first! you saw it here...

saved!

a few hours after we submitted our ticket, we were contacted by a GM:



she got us fixed up (plunked Daelan down outside the gates of IF) and then left us with this:



gotta love GMs that role play /grin

teething woes

we're in the software biz, so naturally we expect a few rough edges on patch day. what we are experiencing now is a bit beyond our expectations, though...







so, here's what happened... we hearthed form IF to Shatt and noticed that no one was around. as in, no players, no NPCs, no critters... nothing. Shatt was a ghost town. there was no general chat channel (though we could still whisper people), we couldn't mount... we could run around and use abilities, though. so, we ran out of shatt thinking that maybe a zone change would reset things. got into terrokar forest and things were still borked. so we logged out and logged back in... and here we are.

we tried taking a step, full expecting to fall endlessly to our death, and instead ended up just running in place... without a way to stop. our next thought was to try the auto-unstuck feature (since our hearth is in cooldown), but that didn't seem to do anything. we are so hosed...

/facepalm

things not to do while instancing:

- do not show up drunk.

- do not proclaim to the group, loudly and repeatedly, how drunk you are. also, see above.

- do not get out-dps'd by a tank who's 3 levels lower than you (yes mr. 65 warrior, we're looking at you).

- do not turn party chat into a cyber session. if you must cyber, confine it to whispers. bonus points for amusing mis-tells. btw, that "hot" female drae priest is most likely played by a guy...

- do not whirlwind next to the sapped/repentanced mob.

- if the tank tells you not to stand in the green shit, do not stand in the green shit.

- if the tank tells you he's going to corner pull, do not stand in the doorway and swing at every mob that passes you.

- if the pull goes bad, take it like a man and DI the healer. do not bubble and run like the sissy we all know you are.

- if you see a land mine, do not feel compelled to step on it.
