To be announced

You know, I spent a little while staring at this page, not writing anything because I don't have an LJ icon that reflects this particular fandom of mine.

That's how deep and how far I've repressed talking about a major part of my life for more than two years. I don't even have a fucking LJ icon that represents it.

What is "it?"

( I'm a world of warcraft player. )

Freshly leveled to 34, and grinding in the Shimmering flats.

Ah, the Shimmering Flats. I'll always remember it as the place where I learned my sexay mage moves

( technical description herein )

but it is also the place where I gained my first nemesis - the Vile Sting! Damn you, Vile Sting! damn you and your level 35 elite scorpid ass coming to laugh at my mage moves! "Oh hai I give you sick nature Damage over time kai? lolz!"

Bastard. I kill you! Kill you and take your loot!

...

Okay, maybe not that time.

stupid World of Warcraft. I'm on Powering our Defenses quest. i am level 12 mage.
basically I put down this crystal so i can re-energise this runestone. but theses stupid shades come and start beating on it! i'm supposed to kill them and protect the crystal for one minute.

sounds easy, right?

arrrgh. because there's a wave of three, and then another wave of three, and I just can't kill them fast enough. I mean I can target one with a fireball, pull him, and hit him with an ice bolt and one wand hit and he's down. and then I do it again, and again, and then another three show up, destroy the crystal, and come after me. and I can kill them easily, but not FAST ENOUGH.

my ice nova? will root all three on the spot for eight seconds. and that does not stop them from hitting the crystal. so I can ice nova them and then move out and pick them off but they don't die any faster doing it that way, actually it's slower. the one time i tried it I had five shades on the crystal by the time I failed the quest instead of three.

And it's annoying me so much. I mean they can't really hurt me, but I can't kill six of them before they destroy the crystal. and this polymorph thing that is supposed to be superfantastic? I'm ready to just pull it off my bar. the spell simply does not work 94% of the time, and then it only turns them into sheep for like ten seconds. that's not enough time to pull and kill an opponent and be ready for the next one. I just can't kill anything fast enough to really be useful. i'm already over-leveled for this quest, being level 12, and I cannot do it alone.

Stupid game!

and all my WoW friends are like level seventy gajillion and on other planets and stuff.

ETA: I finally managed it. I had been trying to pull one shade at a time and kill them, but instead I stood overtop of the crystal and sheeped and ice novaed and died - but I defended the crystal for one minute, so i pulled it off. now I'm resting in Silvermoon city before I do a couple of side quests and then haul ass back to the Ghostlands.

and I am teh level 14 23 30 34!
