Heroic Progress
We finally did it! Well, we didn’t clear the place, but we finally got down the first 2 bosses in ToGC 10. Yeah, Heroic ToC! Northrend Beasts finally gave it up to us (that was such a pain). It’s really important that nobody dies and everyone is paying attention at all times. Nothing I was interested in dropped from him though (all plate, boo!).
Where the 4-in-1 Experiment Breaks Down, Part 1
When Blizzard released Trial of the Crusader they said this 4-in-1 setup (10, 10-heroic, 25, 25-heroic) was a new idea and something they are going to experiment with to see how it works. I’m glad they are trying new things and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in an MMO, it keeps the game fresh and pushes the genre forward. However this 4-in-1 experiment is fundamentally flawed as it recreates the a major design flaw in The Burning Crusade. In this multi-part article I posit what that problem is, why it is a problem, and a suggestion for the future.
Our guild, Unorthodox, has been around since the launch of BC. I joined them a few months in, while they were still working their way through Karazhan in two groups. Like all guilds then the biggest hurdle was making the leap from two teams of 10 to one team of 25. The Kara-to-Gruul’s leap was the biggest chasm in the game. If your guild couldn’t make the leap to Gruul’s you faced having your members poached by guilds that already had, thus furthering the divide between the 10s and the 25s. And unlike WotLK, there was no 10-man progression beyond Kara in the Burning Crusade. If you weren’t ready to tackle Gruul’s Lair after facing (not just) Malchezaar (alone but the legions he commands) then you were facing losing your raiders (and potentially the legions they command).
So You Want to Role-Play a Hunter
Whether you’re just starting a new character or you’re looking to enjoy a different style of game-play, getting into role-playing can seem a bit overwhelming at first. There are tons of possibilities for character development, back story, personality and social interaction. There are also tons of “rules” or bits of RP etiquette that you may be completely ignorant of. I’m no role-play expert, but I do like to dabble now and then. If you really want to dig into the world of role-play, there’s a plethora of amazing blogs to help you out with that (and I’ll link them at the end of this post). Today, I’m simply going to share some food for thought for those of you looking to role-play a Hunter.
Breakfast Topic: What Tropes does your character embody?
Ok, I’m going to make sort of a pretty geeky confession here: I have been known to read TV Tropes. In fact, I have been known to waste hours that could have been better spent writing (or raiding) reading TV Tropes.
