About patch 4.2, how do you like it so far?

Hi there!

I thought i'll make a feedback of the new patch while eating my morning chocolate cereals nomnom. Ok this post might be kinda long since i like to add pics and such (may be i should start making videos but omg i hate to hear my own voice) I didn't have time to explore all of it yet, but i'm going to write about at least the new things that have been added, changes, new dailies etc. etc.

Let's start with the most important thing for a girl *sigh*

1# NEW HAIRSTYLES :3

So, i heard all the new hairstyles haven't been added yet, but i found out there were already new ones for night elves, blood elves, trolls, tauren (horns). I made some screencaps so you can fully appreciate! But as I said, there will be more to come... No date yet tho.

Sassy Tails. Model: Anaesthetic
I kept the Sassy Buns hairstyle on Daikiri, fits a little mage. But my DK is emo enough atm, so she'll stay with her traditional long night elf hair. Don't you just love this lovely pink/purple hair color?


Blood elf

Braided Tail - Model: Renardette 
Troll

Tauren

2# New questlines, Firelands dailies

I know, I know, this one should have gone first. Myeah, what can I say about these new quests? I don't want to spoil anyone, and even if i wanted to, i can't D: Why? 
Well go play Alliance on a server which is 80% Horde. I am not complaining about World PvP, i think it's awesome and Blizzard overdid it with putting OP guards at EACH goddamn place so you can't gank anyone BUT, this time it was like without exagerating 20-25 hordes and 4 allys? Including me, geez. All of us standing on the tiny plateform for the first part of the Thrall questline in Uldum. So you basically had to stand on the border of that plateform, and pull mobs from there so that the 1 mio hordies didn't see you. Omg PvE heroes srsly... (
I hope this tip helps for those who are in the same situation) Hopefully i was there with my resto druid so i can't rly die, but doing quests as a healer my my... Also if you die there it resets your quest \o/
When i FINALLY finished the first part of the Thrall quest, i got teleported to Vash'jir to do the "water part"... And guess what? I think that even before my screen was loaded i was already dead! Yes because there were 10 thousand hordes questing there and found it funny to wait til a poor ally showed up to anihilate him. I gave up and thought i'll do that once around 2 am when all these kids are sleeping.

Earlier today i did the other Firelands questline with my DK this time, it was empty of hordes and i could get to the first dailies with no problems, at 10 am the hordes started to spawn like worms in a rotten corpse (ehm...) probably cuz they finished watching their daily cartoons and decided to log in. OH BUT YES, i "probably QQ cuz i got pwned", wisest sentence of the day.


Anyways, i would say without spoiling that the quests are really fun, with many animations and cinematics, different phases and a cool storyline around the healing of Azeroth, Thrall etc. You also start receving a new currency called "Mark of the World Tree" which will be used to unlock new dailies until you did all phases, then the vendors become available and will sell rewards for gold.



3# PvP gear + New arena season

You guys are probably aware the season 9 is now ended and the new season starts in about a week. For those who didn't know, please stop looking and asking where you can buy the new arena sets, they are NOT out yet, be a bit patient :P You can now buy Vicious gear for honor. Yay... or not so fast. I bought a Vicious trinket for my druid and then wanted a relic, buuut here is what showed up:




Yeah, you can't buy the whole Vicious gear just like Bloodthirsty gear for honor. That would be too easy, wouldn't it? For all weapons and obviously relics, you need a certain amount of honor earned, 7'250 to be precise, to purchase. Good luck farming BG's. Not sure i'll have time to get my whole gear til next week, but i'll do my best to improve it as good as i can. I'm half Vicious geared on my DK and got about 4-5 pieces on my druid, all from arenas, so it shouldn't take too long eventhough i personally like arenas way more than BG's. Well and to think all unskilled BG farmers will have the same gear as i have in no time, makes me a bit sad, gotta admit that -.-

#4 Changing your character's position in menu

omfg i've been waiting for this one for a loooonnnng time! No more lvl 1 before my 85's huhuu

#5 Map and mailbox animation


Cutie!
#6 Alliance/Horde balloon pets

These are so cool! Reward for the quest Blown Away in Stormwind or Orgrimmar.
Since it's a lvl 20 quest, make sure to track low lvl quests if your 85. For Alliance, the little draenei called Vin can be found in the cathedral square. The balloons are spread around the city, just look carefully!




7# Randomz

Another new thing i noticed is that the hunter pets are out while mounted! I'll add more stuff if i find out, for now that was it.


And you, what do you think of the new patch so far? Anything you would remove/change or that you really love about it?

Hello world!!! 

It's been a hell of a time i didn't post anything on this blog. There was a lot of stuff i wanted to write, but guess i got lazy as always, but this time I PROMISE!!! i will keep it updated (if anyone reads it anyways \o/)

I am now sitting on my computer since 7 this morning. I woke up at 6 what is a total record considering it's holidays. Bad luck for me because now i have to wait EVEN MORE, for... wait what? Yea like all of you nerds, for the patch 4.2! So since i don't have anything to do, that no one is awake, i decided to post again on my beloved blog.

And at 11 i will be ONLINE ♥

Don't get me wrong but i hate summer, it's way too warm, it's full of mosquitoes that bzit your ears, fat girls in mini skirts, you get turned to ashes by the sun or have to wear sticky OP sunscreen... meh. Hopefully i live in north Germany and the "bad" weather gives me a good excuse to stay at home being a huge no lifer >:3 

What happened these last months?

-> Switzerland trip, My birthdaaaaaaay, New makeup, Being an Alcoholic, Festival, BBQ, Kittens, Parties, Wrestling show, Rob Zombie concert, German beer, Wonderful long hair, Full Summer Shopping,

Tol Barad Commendations

Earlier this week  I could afford the [Reins of the Drake of the Westwind] from Tol Barad for 200 commendations.




I am not a great fan of the new drakes, i think they have a weird face, but i still kinda like to collect mounts, so i bought it. Mostly i didn't know what else to buy with my commendations since i don't really need anything more from this vendor anyways.


I would strongly recommend doing the dailies in Tol Barad. There are really nice rewards you can get, and by turning the dailies you earn commendations and reputation with the faction Bardin Warden's. When you win a battle there are about 6 quests available on the Tol Barad island, the Battleground island.  Then you can move to the Tol Bard peninsula (the one from the portal) and do the rest of the dailies. I can't tell which is the best moment in doing your dailies, probably when it's controlled by your faction, but there will still be people ganking you while you quest! Personally i think it is nice, cuz you get honorable kills while questing ♥


The first item I bought from the Quartermaster at the Alliance camp was the [Arcanum of Vicious Strength], a head slot enchant with +60 strength +35 resilience which is the best head enchant you can get for PvP and then the shoulder enchant +50 strength + 25 resi. I hesitated getting a sword frome there, but since I was going to have the Vicious Gladiator's sword, it had been a waste of those commendations and i saved them for the drake.
There are also trinkets, diverse enchants and weapons, mounts, etc. 
Here's the link to the vendor if you want to check out all what he sells with more details.


I am now saving for the spectral horsie! and then the seagul may be.
Btw. I didn't do the dailies EVERY single day, I got bored of it often, but I tried to do them when i had time and felt like it, and it went fast enough! Also don't forget you can make nice money from these, the mobs drop a lot of Embersilk Cloth and grey items worth golds at any vendor. There are also plenty of plants/flowers, elementium and mobs to skin, not to forget the cute Fox Kit pet which drops from the Baradin Foxes.


I kinda like him after all.
How much time did it take you for the achievement [Just Another Day in Tol Barad]? Because i am doing dailies for a long time now and didn't get it o.o looks like they never want to give me the quests i miss.

3 vs 3

After all, no 2vs2 today. We went 3vs3, with my usual blood DK arena partner, renamed the undying (i'm serious, he rly never dies) and a cutie pie prot paladin. Our team is called: "WTB MOAR TANKZ" Couldn't get a better name...

No names for the ©, but you can still stalk us on the armory!

Well don't worry we aren't planning to be #1 with this setup, but you would still be surprised how good we can be at it.


At the beginning, i have to be honest we met some teams which were like super fail. We had no great merit in beating the crap out of em, but who cares it's still points.


Yes, i have it. Also fixed the hair! Beauty ♥
We made a break after i got my precious, and i did a quick BG to purchase my new pvp cloak. I've hit 2.6k resilience, which is a pretty big upgrade comparing to 1 week ago! +600 resi.


Btw the sword is a dream. It's smooth like a cloud, i hit through ppl like into rotten tomatoes ♥ Remember my old weapon was the [Oversized Oblique Ogre Obliterator]* it's lovely pink like a raspberry but low for my goals. BIG UPGRADE OMFG x2.


Later we did more 3vs3 and wooooooot, we really did it first-class! Last week we had smth like only 30% wins now we have 75% wins! It looks like i am improving on the same time my gear does. I need more bindings goddammit. 


Feedback: I've reached 1k rating on 3vs3 too now, aye it's so extreme. I will definitely play again in the team this week, even if i have my cap pts... I am literally DYING for more arenas!!!

Twinkie Winkie

When i logged in today my arena partner wasn't online, and since i refuse to play with someone else, i decided to play a bit on my future lvl 60 twinkie. 


I first didn't even know what a twink was, i remember asking a friend:
-"lol your char is lvl 19 for a long time now, got trouble lvlig him?"
-"No, he's a twink.
-"Ahh ok." <--- having no idea what the hell a TWINK is.


Then when i knew what it was, i was like: Yo that's just for people who want to be sure to win at their lvl, it's lame! Yeah it's probably true in a way.


A lot of guys i knew had twinks, so after saying 10 mio times it sucked, i thought the idea wasn't bad after all. Since i like to have a lot of alts anyways, why not a twink? To me it's more like a doll you have to customize, and also a good way to relax after arenas, tough raiding or getting sick on your main in general. We all do sometimes, don't we?


I have a lvl 40 Mage called Daikiri on Shattered Hand like my main. I'm obsessed with female nelfs lately. She is going to be a lvl 60 twink. Eventhough you can't do BG's a that lvl, i think the gear is not too hard to get plus you can have flying mount. Daikiri strawberry is ARCANE, not fuckin' frost, thanks. I gotta say i'm in love with this spec, of course it requires more skill than frostlol mage but there's a lot of burst you can do.




I have another lvl 60 twink called Damian, a blood DK. I already got some of the gear i need on him. Actually made him to RP with a friend, but i think it's nice to make a twink out of him, since blood DK twinks are OP for 60. Especially cuz i don't want to lvl another DK to 85... Death Knight is the class i can play the best anyways. He's handsome, isn't he? ♥




Now i know some ppl are crazy about their bank chars, i do the same with mine. 
Nyponi, my lvl 20 enhancement shamy is the only real *DOLL* i have. She's also probably the only lvl 20 bank char but i wanted her to have a mount. She has many RP clothes and rides a red Hawkstrider ☼ 



I have as good as 0 xp in twinks, so if anyone can give me advices for my DK and Mage lvl 60, you would be welcome :)
