Brevisano the Noble

cd34 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:41:35 +0000

One of the few Holiday Events that a 20 Trial account can complete, and, it comes with a Title. Cho’gall is not a realm that is friendly for the Alliance, so, this one was particularly difficult. In addition, the Alliance population is quite small, so, finding the Alliance level 18+ accounts was almost as difficult as getting the Horde accounts.

Most of the achievements were easy. Had I done a little planning, I would have died at the crater rim above the lake in Un’Goro crater as I found out you can’t lay the eggs while swimming. After I got the rest of the achievements, I ran to Orgrimmar, hid behind a building, found my first target, mounted up and ran to get the bunny ears on a Female Tauren. I was killed rather quickly, but, with a corpse walk back, I had time to find the next female race that I needed. I would rez, put the bunny ears on, get killed rather quickly, and, walk back.

The last thing I needed was a Female Troll, so, had one targeted, rezzed, got the achievement, bam, dead.

As a trial account, the hardest part was being turned into a rabbit for the Un’Goro achievement – I ran an instance and had someone transform me at the end, and I had queued up from Un’Goro Crater. Other than that, most of the achievements were fairly straightforward.

While doing some of the Halloween events, love the humor

While doing some of the Hallows Eve events, I noticed a few interesting dialogs from the NPCs.

While in Blades Edge, the Bladewing Bloodletters just wouldn’t let me go. When you’re level 20, you sure have a large aggro radius. These chased me all the way from just south of the Thunderlord Stronghold to Sylvannar.

Wisp Engineering

During the Halloween event, Shadoh was turned into a wisp. Since I don’t play Shadoh much anymore, he still had the wisp transformation. While making a [Gnomish Cloaking Device] for our transfer of items to Boulderfist/Cyclone, I noticed the animation while in wisp form actually showed the hammer.

Crossroads gets Attacked by Zombies

During the Scourge Invasion, there were quite a few people complaining about the crossroads being infected, and the carnage is quite evident.

Boar Bobbing for Apples

cd34 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:33:55 +0000

During the Hallowed End’s holiday event, my pet Boar, affectionately named Boar, decided to bob for apples himself. He eats fruit, but came up emptyhanded this time.

Zombie event porta-pews in Shatt

cd34 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 06:37:07 +0000

Near the end of the zombie scourge invasion, the complaints in trade were so bad that I left trade chat. Our battlemasters in Orgrimmar were dead, the ones in Thunderbluff were dead, I figured, let me check Undercity, and, short of a few invasions and a very handy Argent healer right there, I was able to queue for battlegrounds without much difficulty, but, I could tell that most of the people were having the same problems.

I rejoined Trade to try and sell a few items and it was so difficult to even try to sell items, queues weren’t popping so I got a little bored. Since so many people were complaining about the invasion, I said something in chat like:

You know, outside the Aldor Bank in Shattrath there are a number of porta-pews that need to be filled and everyone needs to pray at the pews to summon Lok’helthor to start the next phase of the invasion.

Almost immediately a few people started recruiting all sorts of players to get them to fill up the pews. Even though I was queued, I just had to check Shattrath to see what they were doing so I logged on Herbskinner to take a look and was amazed at the turnout.

Trick or Treat? Trick!

Zombies in Orgrimmar

cd34 — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:17:12 +0000

With the Hallows End Holiday, people have been killing the cockroaches and looking at the Conspicuous crates and infecting almost everything in Orgrimmar. While the Auctioneers resurrect rather quickly, the people that have AFKed in front of them are now ticking time bombs so, it continues on and on. Pallies and Priests will cure it on the NPCs frequently, but, they only have to miss one in the auction house for it to start all over again.

Death Wish Striving to be the best

Qwait — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 20:09:45 +0000

Death Wish is a hardcore guild who strives to be among the best in the world. Through intelligent direction, skillful execution, and unwavering dedication, we expect to conquer the latest and most challenging end-game content and soar above the competition.

From The Death Wish Forums

Well they have got most of that…

While trying to do the fishing contest one Sunday in October, I was fishing a pool when one of the Death Wish members mounted up and jumped in front of the pools. Very sportsmanlike. Ataxus even tried to buy the win because they felt they couldn’t win purely based on luck.

They tend to have a holier than thou attitude with everything they do, claim to be the best at everything — though, they are consistently beat by VANQUISH in terms of server firsts. In their defense, the reason they didn’t down Kael’thas Sunstrider after Magister’s Terrace was added was due to the Time Zone. Evidently Death Wish members did not receive the 2.4.0 update as early as VANQUISH due to the time zone issues.

Now there’s a unique excuse.
