Why izzit....?Follow

This isn't really a rant or a B**ch session, I'm mostly just kidding around. Bored at work.

Why izzit:

...If I need to kill X amount of a certain type of monster, and theres a plentiful supply of that kind of beast running around a certain area, that they seem to instantly stop respawning when I'm only 1 or 2 away from achieving my goal? Its frustrating. Especially when the area is also full of other creatures that can kill my character so I'm trying to hurry up and get outta there.

...Or I need to kill a certain number of a kind of creature and they are in moderate numbers. But luckily no one else is around the area they spawn in so I can get my quota and move on. But as soon as I start about 8 other people show up and begin wiping them out. I can almost gaurantee that if I come back after this quest no one will be there, but as soon as I need this spawn its alluva sudden like Dec. 24th at the mall.

...I read a post somewhere once called "wolves with pants"somewhere, and I found it quite interesting. The gist of it was how can a creature that would have no nead for certain things have these items on them? I really had to wonder that when I killed a wolf on one of my low level characters a day ago and got some gauntlets and copper coins out of it. Its a wolf, for pete's sake! Was he wearing gloves? Was he carrying lunch money?

...People wanting to start a guild start simply scrolling down the /who list and sending invites? I mean, you don't know me. why would you want to invite me to your guild before you even know if I'm an okay guy? (This was a really sore point in CoH, since the "guild" got "money" for each player that joined.) I always appreciate someone asking me first with a /tell, but some guy asked me 4 times last night! Each time it was the same nicely asked questioned "Would you like to join my guild?". My answers got more surly as time went on. It started as "No, thanks, appreciate the offer." to "No", to "You asked me already, dude, no." to finally "STOP!". The last time I was thinking maybe its some kind of bot, but he replied "Oh, sorry. NP.".

...Someone wants to duel you but they are 10 levels higher. WTF is the point in that? Face the music, if you challenge someone to a duel that you can't possibly lose, you're pretty lame. There's really no way around it. Strangely some level 50 guy asked to duel my level 63 Warlock a few nights ago. I turned him down, but I wondered why he wanted to duel with someone 13 lvels higher....

...That after a long run/flight to a location (that can get pretty boring) just when I engage the enemy I've been looking for, my wife always comes in the room and wants to talk to me. Its always at that point when the fight begins too, so that I can't really divide my attention. This always leads to the "You're not paying attention to me" speech. (and its almost always about some story of someone she works with that I don't even freaking know....) Of course, I can always choose to just die, but then I have to go through that long run again from the graveyard....and she's only going to start yakkin' once I rez anyway. This also happens with phone calls, and its never anything terribly important...its like the caller simply wants to kill your character.

...that Stitches can fit in a normal sized door? during one of his attacks he chased my level 25 hunter into the inn. there were hardly and player characters in duskwood at the time but i figured he'd spend some time beating on the guard NPCs while I regrouped. Nahh, he followed me in the building! Hey! He's like 15 feet tall! How'd he get in the freaking door!? (The best part is he killed me and attacked Commander Ebonlocke who instantly calls for help...yet she stood there unmoving when Stitches monkey stomped me on the street. Heck, he killed me so fast I think my characters on other servers took equipment damage. Even the ones in City of Heroes)

Lol. It is a rant. But an amusing one. I can feel the pain.



Yeah always happens to me. Apart from my SPriest all my toons are in PvP servers. As soon as I start grinding in an empty area, a group of Horde always comes along when I am on the last few. It usually ends with me dying and then logging on to alt. Cant be asked to run back to corpse :(


Usually when a much higher level asks me to duel, I'll say "Duel for 2g". They will either leave you alone and not bother or give you the 2g. Just stand there, take a beating, heal up and carry on, slightly more richer :)


p.s. Im bored at work to. Sucks.

You're confusing the law of averages and the law of WoW averages.

The law of WoW averages states that if you need 6 spider legs that you must kill roughly 500 spiders.

And God help you if you have to get a spider ichor.

The second point can be summed up with this graph:


made at crappygraphs.com

Lol, I love that graph.

Thanks for the link to that site.

I made a graph we should put in a sticky about Tuesday Maintenance >_>

I go around dueling People alot higher than me, sometimes beating them but mostly for the shock factor. When a lvl 60 duels a lvl 68 and kills him you know he isnt one to mess with ;)

It's funny, actually. When my human lock had just dinged 20, I was in Lakeshire and some level 30 pally wanted to duel me. I declined the first time, thinking yeah right. But he persisted until I finally accepted. So here he is, 10 levels higher than me and cocky. So I send Voidy after him, fear, DoT, Shadowbolt crit, refear, re-DoT, /yawn, lifetap, drain health.... dead pally. He then just proceeded to shout "OMG! WTF!" and insult me to no end for "cheating." I bet he didn't expect me to have points invested in anti-resist talents and obviously didn't inspect me to see I was wearing mostly "of shadowy wrath" gear. He never hit me once. That's what you get for being an arrogant little $#!t, lol.

How do you link a Screeny? :o

:< Ill have to Just link the url then.... :<

Too bad the armory is hardly up-to-date.. if at all.

Funny story relating to this actually! Last Saturday me, and 14 of my fellow horde members were doing an AB/EotS premade. (5caps and 6min EotS games ftw!)Well while we were waiting for one of our healers to get back from afk, I get a random tell from somebody "Can you come tank heroic Crypts? All we need is a tank"
I told him no thanks, and that I was in a premade and also didn't know how long I would be on. We play a quick game of EotS, and then somebody in Vent says "Does anybody know "randompersonsname"? They just asked me to tank heroic Crypts for the daily." And all of a sudden, Vent explodes with people saying stuff like "lol omg he asked me too!" We had 3 druids, 3 warriors, and 3 paladins...he asked every one of us. He even asked me twice...asked the EXACT same thing...like he had it to a macro or something :O
I inspected him, he was a warrior, just like me. So I asked him.
"Why don't you tank it?" I said.
"Because I'm DPS"
"Oh, why should I tank it?"
"Because you are a warrior" -_-
"LOL, well so are you!" (I actually lol'd here)
"Yeah, but I'm DPS spec"
"Well sorry bud, so am I"
"Oh"
"Well a little advice..Use the LFG option, maybe even ask in Trade...don't randomly send /w to everybody who is a possible tanking class...ESPECIALLY because you are a warrior yourself. Also, stop annoying everybody in my premade."

It was funny ^_^

I want to know what's up with all the weird vendors in weird places? For example, that engineering supply guy in alterac mountains. Captured by ogres and locked in a cage yet still willing to sell me copper tubes. Or how about that guy on the top floor of one of the buildings in raven hill? I bet he gets a lot of customers.
