Game On

I have been playing World of Warcraft (WoW) since late December last year and honestly it is still a great past time for me to spend at home.

Been creating numerous characters ranging from different races and classes finally ends up with two committed characters. One is a Night Elf Hunter and the other a Blood Elf Paladin with both on the same server but different faction.

After levelling my Hunter for quite sometime I notice that being such character does have its ups and downs. Hunters being famous for its long range attacks and strong pet companions are excellent at grinding areas alone however it can be lonely at certain times. Any hunting groups or raiding parties considers a hunter to be their last option in any situation. With such environment, playing a Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) can be boring without any interaction with other players. Don’t get me wrong, is not that I don’t communicate but there is a difference when saying “hi, how are you” to friend and saying “I’ll lure them up and you support me with everything you got!” to your team-mate.

Froze my Hunter character and start anew with a Paladin which I knew will get numerous invitations and I wasn’t wrong at all. I was able to level up my Paladin faster than my Hunter thanks to quest co-op and dungeon raids.

Last night my team consists of a Mage, a Priest, a Rogue and a Paladin like myself stormed Shadowfang Keep which its inhabitants are giant wolves, werewolves, banshees and restless souls. Everything went well at first with two tankers (me and the other Paladin), a range damage dealer (Mage), a range healer (Priest) and a stealth scout (Rogue) however not all is perfect.

Our Rogue kept ‘aggroing’ the enemies to the team’s area and somehow it irritates us all. If only we were able to communicate via headset, I’ll be shouting “Oii!, don’t be a hero and march in alone, I know you got stealth skills f*&^$%r”. To end our frustration, we communicate to each other in whisper mode and let the Rogue go forward and die alone. True enough, he went in alone while all of us ran far far away from him and he died. All of us laugh and he left the team quietly (disconnect from server). If you would like to know how a WoW character laugh, just type /laugh (in the game) and you will hear a sarcastic laughter that goes with the characters face and body expression.

At the end of the raid, we met Archmage Arugal and he was a tough bugger to be dealt with especially with his arcane spells and teleportation. The fight was brutally hard but thankfully we have a Mage and a Priest that knows how to handle dire situations since their armour being the most weakest. With Arugal’s death, we cheered and greet each other farewell hoping there would be another co-op in the near future.

If only my lil brother knew why I was laughing in front of the laptop…hahaha..
