Changes To Brewfest 2010

It is no longer possible to sell the chestpiece back and get your tokens back to allow you to imediately buy the Brew of the Month membership.

It is possible however that if you bought the goggles you won't need to buy the hat for Disturbing the Peace.

Also, fret no more. Disturbing the Peace isn't part of the Brewmaster Meta anyway. Did Blizztards Change that?

So when you have 200 tokens, buy the Brew of the Month membership first and then work on your gear.

Wierd Password PopUp on Blog

I keep getting a wierd Username/password popup appearing for http://alieenbarros.com on MY blog

I do not have a clue where it is coming from. It is nothing to do with me.

It's bloody annoying!!

Any Ideas?

How to get Brewmaster at Level 68

Oh yeah, my little baby gnome warrior just got the Brewmaster title.

How? You have to be level 80 to get to Coren's room. Don't You?

Well, me, myself and a guildie formed a party. All level 80s.

We joined a queue for Coren and when it popped asked the other guys to wait a second and not to attack as we were inviting an alt in. HolyWarrior then left and we invited BitchSlapper the warrior into the group and EvilBastard then summoned her.

So we are now a group of 4 level 80s and a level 68 sat in front of Coren.

Start the fight (with no healer remember as HolyWarrior left) and 24 seconds later BitchSlapper is BrewMaster BitchSlapper!!!

Epic Nax Fail

EvilBastard just went into Naxx 10 man for the weely raid. We were struggling on trash. We'd be pulling 3 Gargoyles and not being able to kill 1 and we'd get wiped.

The tank was doing a fine job but was getting grief for being a nub (sic)!

He was blaming the dps for being too low and I was feeling a little guilty with my 4.5K GS!!!

But that's what it seemed like as with those gargoyles when they get down to 30% they need to be kiled in 8seconds or something or they do some massive healing. We couldn't manage this so blaming the dps was the logical choice.

After several attempts the raid disbanded. Seems the dps WAS too low ...



...for 25 MAN!!!

Was That Always Like That? - East/West Plaguelands Flightpath

I just found a goblin flightmaster by the bridge on the border between Eastern and Western Plaguelands?

Was That Always Like That? No. But how long has it been there?

Oooo So Close

Tommorrow I shall be Gold-Capped...

Argent Tina

Yeah, as in the South American country.

I'm gonna start a rumour that she starts a quest for Legendary Weapon.

Lets see how this propagates. :P

Say Hello to Argent Dawn Officer Tina

Was That Always Like That? - Resurrection Sickness

There are many things that I come across in game and think "Was that always like that?" So I thought I'd start documenting / asking my 2 followers about these things that may well have always been like that!!!

Resurrection Sickness
I rolled a gnome rogue on Gevlon's Ganking Guild server, and I actually wanted to level it all the way to 80 without a single world death (instance deaths permitted) but I got frigging DC'd and finally got back online to find a dead gnome ... NO I DIDN'T. I was in the troll cave (Frostmane Hold) in stealth still a-fucking-live -but as soon as I reconnected (a hour fucking later) I was too close to a troll 3 levels higher than me and the fucker spotted me ... grrr ... wall of text later and he gets to the point...

At the spirit healer I decide I can't be arsed with corpse running and then dieing in the troll cave as soon as I resurrect so I opt to take res-sickess. I am level 7...

...YOU CAN RES WITH NO PENALTY UNDER LEVEL 10!!!

Was that always like that?

Stock Liquidation

I have finally got rid of all the Books of Glyph Mastery that I mistakenly stockpiled for patch ... err ... 3.2 was it?

I sold them all at profit, I had several hundred of the bloody things that pre-patch were going for 30gold ish.

Post-patch they actually dropped, presumably because a lot more people were going into dungeons with the new tool and therefore there was more supply.

They have slowly picked up again and sell for between 20-25gold, whereas I usually only bought them under 20gold, this means I made a profit in the end.

Cold Balls
I have also finally finished selling off all the frozen orbs I stockpiled for patch 3.3 (or 3.3.3? something like that). They weren't the potential unmitigated disaster that the "New Glyphs from Glyph Mastery books ... Oh no they're not!" escapade nearly turned into but they were a lot slower to dispose of than I thought.

This was probably down to me only posting 5 at a time so as not to flood the market and lose too much deposit when undercut. As it turned out they would generally sell before I was undercut so that was OK. It just took some time to sell them all. I bought these again for 15g or under and only sold at more than 20g, more usually 27 - 30g.

Tit Powder
So I have got rid of all that crap, now I've just got to get rid of all the Titanium Powder that has dropped from 28g to 20g. Grrr! And the raw green gems that were selling for 3g-10g each and are now selling sub 1g.

I suspect some retard is clearing stock in preparation for Clitacasm(TM).
