Gotta Read the Tooltip, I Guess.

So, I still haven't really... adapted to Cataclysm. Honestly I think the transition to Cata was terrible; the events were fun, but they were not smooth. It just sort of happened in chunks, never really happening at all. But that's not what this post is about.

This post is about how I just hearthed from one end of The Commons to the other, because I assumed my hunter's hearth was Stormwind! I thought, "Wait a minute... this reveler looks familiar...." I'm not used to all my character's hearth locations not being the same, because some I haven't changed yet and the others I haven't aligned, on top of that I can't decide if I prefer Ironforge or Stormwind. Whoops!

Happy Holidays!

Hope everyone's having a good Christmas/holiday break!

I'm glad the Winter's Veil holiday lasts through till January... because I haven't had any time to do my achievements yet!

Waiting, waiting.

Having a hard time waiting for the announcement of the winners for the cake contest...!

Two days until holiday freedom from exams. Then there will be [more] Christmas decorating, gift shopping, work, and Cataclysm!

Ahhhhhhh

Soooo much cake making! Almost done....

Phew.

Been busy over the last week with the end of classes, and now extra work shifts, that I haven't played much of Cata yet. I've leveled my warrior about 2/3 of the way through Vashj'ir, reaching level 82, with a bit of scattered questing/exploring/profession[ing] on other characters. Plus I made my worgen rogue and got him through Gilneas; the story ends somewhat abruptly.

And there will won't be much Cata for me tomorrow either, as I'll be making my entry for the 2010 Blizzard holiday cake contest! I've never used fondant before, so it will be quite the cake adventure. Wish me luck!

Last Chance

Tonight is the last chance for any major female Worgen updates to go live... just thought I'd throw that out there.

Had some pre-Cata fun in Stormwind this evening, lining up some Pilgrim's Bounty feasts from the bank to the new auction house.
I've still got 51 left, got to think of somewhere good to place them before they expire!

I've decided to start Cataclysm with my warrior and hunter. Let's see how long I go without itching to heal. Have fun tonight, everyone! :)

Wow!

I've now had over 1000 visitors to my blog! Thank you to everyone who's stopped by, I hope you've enjoyed the read. :)

So I've finally decided my worgen will be a male rogue, who will tie into the stories of my other characters nicely. I've never wanted to play a rogue much, but now I'm excited for it. AND this means avoiding the goofy female worgen. Win-win!

If only I could decide what to level as my main, come Tuesday. I've narrowed it down to warrior/hunter/priest, but which?!

Analogies, yeah!

So many new players/tanks seem to have trouble understanding the tooltip for Taunt, that it's not effective if the mob is already attacking you.

Then I thought of it like healing: taunting when you already have aggro is like healing a person who's already at full health. They can't get any healthier!

You could even say it's like attacking a target that's already dead - it's not going to get any more dead!
