KT apparently doesnt drop shaman helms. Ive seen that hammer but keep losing on the roll. Everyone who wants it wants it for offspec, myself included. But my luck sucks. I never seem to win anything. And that damn off hand fist weapon wont drop eiother.

I have been pretty lucky with ffspec drops. Last week I got T7 Shadow Robes, this week I got T7 SHadow shoulders. As cool as that may be I don't really NEED these. I would much rather get a T7 helm for main spec. And THEN get lucky on offspec.
My Ulduar video is at 1200 views almost. Not a lot by anyone's standards of views I am sure but for me thats quite a bit. I want to show off the Razorscale fight. No idea when we will be going back into Ulduar though

As much as I'd like to continue working on my characters after I complete FFXII, it's not going to be happening. My prepaid game time expires on the 25th, and I won't be back on the account until I can afford another game card. Money is tight with me not having a job, so I can't swing $30 right now. Kitteh fud comes first! I may pick up a trial account and goof off if I get bored, but I dunno yet.

Last night our guild had probably our best attempt at Ulduar to date. We downed 3 bosses all without a single whipe. We did Flame Leviathan, Razorscale and The Deconstructor. I remember the last time we tried Deconstructor it killed us within 30 seconds. But we are more in sync now. We alos tried Ignis but we can't get him down. A lot of that fight seems based more on luck than anything else. But we try again tomorrow. I got three drops out of there last night. We usualy have a 1 drop per person per Raid week but nobody else was a cloth wearer so I was lucky. I got a head piece, a belt and a shoulder item. Very nice upgrades.

I have another video up from Ulduar. This boss is called Kologarn. Unlike the last video I posted I removed all ingame sound and vent conversations and replaced it with two boss themes from Digital Devil Saga. The last video the vent was kind of annoying. You don't really notice it when you're playing but some people in the video would be super quiet and some would be super loud and a few would be normal volume. So it sucks for a viewer to be constantly turning their volume up or down during a video. Not to mention that a lot of people in my guild aren't using a headset for vent so if one person would talk when they aretalking that sound would come through their speakers and back into their mic so there is a ton of conversation interferience and looping. As for the music, the first song is good for this kind of fight cause in DDS 2 there is a similar boss encounter. It looks absolutly nothing like this but its the same in terms of it being a boss with a giant body and two arms that are targetable. While I was recording this that was the first song that came to mind.

I cancelled my WoW account. I seriously just can't play this game anymore. I enjoyed WoW much more than FF or any other MMO I have played. The problem is that raiding, as fun as it is, takes a lot of time. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are our raid days. And on those days its pretty much come home, have dinner, logon and play until bed time. And that style of play is ok with me. But, you know, sometimes I want to play OTHER things. Or DO other things. But as a raider I feel obligated to logon each event. Not obligated for my team, but obligated for myself. Cause if I miss an event I could get behind. The biggest reason I decided to quit was actually the hockey playoffs that finished off not long ago. I was so thrilled to see the finals but unfortanatly I missed most of the games because of WoW. And from what I heard, it was a great series. I only got to see two games (out of seven). As much as I love raiding, the team play involved, the strategy, the communication between people. Its fun as hell! But it sure takes a lot out of your life. It drains you. I never realised it before in WoW or even FF cause I was never doing endgame stuff. And now that I am I see how much it sucks away at you. So thats that. WoW was fun but....time to move on. I will definatly be back cause I love the game. But I don't think I will be as this heavy into it again. Its not even just the raids themsevles. Its the preperation. Farming is easier in this game but having to logon everyday to farm gold so I can afford potions, and flasks, and enchants. Yeah...too much.

That sounds like a good idea in the long run though. SPending too much time on a game that it becomes a job is a bad thing. It's why I don't play this game as often as I used to. Well we'll still be around to talk and etc though, so... /farewell Raylu

thse are the exact reasons I quit. I did get behind on raiding and got booted. Then work just got too involved. IM hoping Aion will be a smother ride because I wont be raiding, at least not for a while. I want to enjoy the game.

A large part of me is going to miss the raids. I did like my guild. Friendly people and I enjoyed playing with them. But it sucks that I can't play at my own pace anymore. Not to mention we do the exact same thing week after week. Same boss fights, same dungeon. Not much of a chance to mix things up. Oh well.
If I ever truly get back into the MMO scene it will be with The Old Republic. Only because its a finale to the KotOR series. From what the interviews and stuff are saying its looking like a very story driven game. Which is good. Just so long as the story isn't only accesible via end game.

One of the reasons I quit FFXI was that. I didn't have the time to sit and do end game crap after Granny came back from Chicago, and it was taking a chunk out of time I could spend with family. So, I told them I was finished with end game, and the atmosphere in the linkshell seemed to change towards me. Don't think I'll be able to do end game in any MMO because of the constant pressure to show up to every event. I just wanna take it slow and play at my own pace. If I don't wanna login, I won't login. I don't miss what little end game I did in FFXI one bit. >.> Probably won't come back to WoW myself, just can't afford it. At least with PWI if I don't login for a while, I don't feel like I'm wasting money. Also about MMOs... I bought LOTRO in Big Lots a few weeks ago, I'll probably play it for a month or so sometime soon, cuz I know Caller plays it sometimes. I don't plan on paying for it after the first month, but I'll enjoy it while I can. Can't complain for $6.

Nice deal. Yeah raids were fun but like you say, you can't play at your own pace. And speaking od The Old Republic, when I do play that I have no plans to do end game in that. I just want it for the story. If its as plot heavy as I hear it is. I have one more video from WoW that I want to post on Youtube. Its not a raid video its just me and some guild mates goofing off. It was a fun night.

Bah, I have until July 24 before my account dies. So I shall raid till then but not every Tues, Thurs and Sat. Just enough to make my money's worth with this last month. I still havn't got my DK to 80. He's been 78 for two months. I should work on that too. If I can learn to balance my schedule better maybe I'll stick around past July 24. But we'll see how this month goes I guess. I showed my guild the video and they had a good laugh

Anyone who still has an active accoutn should check out the summer event going on until July 5th. Its super easy exp and the quests are daily so you can repeat em from day to day. I'm gonna have all my toons try and do these. They are easy and the exp is pretty nice.
