Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 88 - Are you Prepared again!
Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG.
Lots of complaints about the file
Plans for Wed night: Aprillian will be in line at the local Gamestop handing out cards and candy and having a raffle to win a free Authenticator.
What We've Done:
Aprillian
Did random stuff Monday night, all pretty stupid. Thought it would be good if Aprillian used her cloth cooldowns, but she didn't have any neitherweave cloth so I sent her to grind out by Falcon Watch
Tues night, don't know which pair to work on. Then I decide I want a Devilsaur. Auntrillia ventured into the Crater alone. It didn't go well.
I took my level 35 Druid, Drame and a level 30 something mage, we died
Wed morning took Auntrillia, Rilfire and Aprillian into the Crater and got the Devilsaur. It's amazing.
I'm hopelessly lost with the RAF. Two days left.
Decided to focus on my Mage. I gave her some levels and now she's 38. Took her to the Flats, Then she had to go to Dustwallow marsh for some Warlock quests. Did some triple boxing with some higher toons. She got to 39.
Got up Fri morning to play and the realms were down. Notice said rolling restarts but ER didn't come up for some time. I got on my Dunemaul Alliance toon. I had a level 2 on the main account running around with a level 9 in the Dranei starting area. I knew I had some levels to give but got him to 6 before I got to give him 3 levels. I changed to my Earthern ring account and my RAF was over. I felt all alone.
So I thought I guess I should focus on getting to 70

Ashayo
Still trying to get the epic undead chest piece for Hiide, which means Glaciuss has been collecting more void crystals. Alot of fun to AOE the undead - am now revered with Argent Dawn on both Pally and Warlock. Cleared a couple with Mata, who got his Rogue geared. Cleared a few with Tarqq, Deirdrea, Sigurn and Johnni
3.0.3 patch - 3 sec broom cast time :( Updated Ark Inventory - search function
Working on achievements with Ashayo - Snuck into Zul'Gurub to get the fishing achievement - Working on Heroics - Completed daily cooking achievement - Completed Nagrand achievement - only needed 1 quest, and had real problems finding one - Stratholme ; quested too to get trinket that increases vs undead damage
Jekle got ZA achievement ; wondering if I should've made my healer the achievement toon.
Guild MC run - 9 red core hounds, including one for Hiide!
Black Temple run - Downed High Lord Naj'entus and Supremus in our first night there. Sunwell Plateau Suicide run - Wiped over and over on trash ; even after finding Eye of Kilrogg 'exploit'

Hey guys... In response to your request - as you know ol' Blade will deliver when asked - I'll tell you all about how my family reacts to my Warcraft play... Now... ol' Blade works hard at his job and at school... and I don't think it'd have been possible for me to have gotten Bladetusk or any of my alts to lv70 without someone as understanding as Mrs. Blade. Before you ask... no she doesn't play, yes she does listen to me rant about the few things that might irritate me in the game (mainly how I think there should be a curfew for Alliance toons)... and she does so with one-part patience and two parts skepticism... yeah she'll listen - and even offer advice now and then... but By The Fist of My Old Uncle Throgg is her tongue sharp! So I get support... she reads and does her own projects while Ol' Blade is mercilessly cutting down beasts and Alliance in Azeroth... but I'd better have the dishes done before I do... That leads me to our two 'kids'... kittens we named 'Goblin' and 'Sprite'... ironically, the names had nothing to do with the World of Warcraft... Goblin is a jet-black kitty, and Sprite his little sister... When they want attention, they will stop at nothing to get it... clutching at cables, crawling on keyboards... and crawling up Papa Blade's back... the list is endless... We chose their names because of the fact that we have a fey-like garden in our backyard with ponds and flowers and trees... 'mystical' the elves would call it, I guess... Though I have to say... Ol' Blade cuts down the grass just as mercilessly as he mows down the Scourge...
A few things from me... and Ol' Blade's a man of his word... a shout out to Jusdoit and Soxie of the Ghostlands server... for helping me clear some bagspace by taking some non-combat pets off my hands (on Wolftusk) and for cluing me in to an interesting achievement that I think Aprillian might like to get started on: 50 mounts = an Albino Netherdrake!
Now... some Easter Eggs to whet your appetite... In Nagrand, at the Nesingwary Safari site, there's a crashed plane nearby... if I recall correctly, it should have an engineering vendor right next to it named 'Pilot Marsha'. I wonder what those snakes are doing crawling all over the plane... is this a reference to anything...?
