The Patch!

2009-04-16T07:03:00.000-07:00

Wow we are so excited!

All Ground Mounts may now swim without dismounting the rider. Flying Mounts still may NOT, and will dismount the rider upon entering water.

Awesometastic! We want to see our swimming raptor! We think this is a big plus to Blizz, HUGE!!

/cheer

Okay, enough with the non important stuff, lets talk Hunters!

This patch is HUUUUUGE!!

We will not post all the changes, but here are the ones that seem worth mentioning:

Call Stabled Pet: This new ability lets the hunter remotely access the stable. 30-minute cooldown.

Now this we like! We have not done tests, and to be honest we are a bit scared, since BRK mentioned in his podcast that it is... BUGGED? oh noes! We don't want to loose MiniME!

Cunning, Ferocity and Tenacity pets now all have +5% damage, +5% armor and +5% health bonuses. This should make more pet families feel viable, while additional talents have been added to distinguish a pet’s abilities based on its specializations.

Pets getting buffed? Yes, yes, yes! Will this be the revival of the BM tree?

Pets now inherit more spell hit from the hunter. Pets with magic attacks should not require a player to stack additional hit compared to pets with physical attacks.

Pretty cool! We don't have our Spirit Beast yet, but we're getting there!

Viper Sting redesigned: Stings the target, draining 4% of mana over 8 seconds (up to a maximum of 8% of the caster's maximum mana), and energizing the hunter equal to 300% of the amount drained. Only one Sting per hunter can be active on any one target.

O.M.G! What does OOM stand for again?

Okay, we're tired, we need rest.

More to come!

Hi guys!

TLP is going on a 5 day holiday to Thailand!
We won't have our laptop, so there won't be any posts for the next 5 days... /sadface

We wonder if they have Easter Bunnies over there, if so, we would REALLY like to see one...
We don't know what the place is called yet, but we will definitely find out once we arrive!

Anyways... today we passed our 1200g mark! *Hooray* 15 of our auctions sold today!

Farewell BRK!

Only just recently a well known WoW-blogger, one whom we all love and respect, has stepped down from his post. His blog was the very first WoW blog we EVER found.
It was one of these, perhaps not as sunny as we would have liked it, but sunny none the less, these "we have done all our dailies and have nothing to do" days, when we stumbled across his blog.
The very moment when we clicked on that link, yes when this very post appeared before our eyes, we were magically drawn to return to his site, again and again, soulbound, as you may call it. We simply loved it. Along the way we learned how to be a better Hunter. But then took a break from WoW, and our 70 NE Hunter.

When we finally decided to pick up WoW again and reroll a Troll Hunter, we remembered BRK and his site, and straight away went to see him.
Everything went fine for a while, we were top of our game, but then came a blow, harder then anything we had ever felt, harder then any of our opponents had thrown at us, and knocked us out cold.

For the next few days, after he had made his choice to step back from WoW, we had no idea what to do, no idea where to go for help, we were totally lost. Then we remembered everything what he had taught us, how to be a hunter. We had regained our self confidence in ourselves and our kitty, and set out to conquer the world.

For that, BRK, we thank you, for without you, we wouldn't be even a measly 1/16 of the Hunter we are now.

We also wish good luck to you and your family, and we respect your reasons.

/salute

Getting to know us...

2009-04-09T10:44:00.000-07:00

Okay everyone, welcome to your very first day of school...since we don't know each other yet, I want to play a very simple get-to-know-each-other-game. I'll start with myself, my name is TLP, and this is my WoW toon...

Here you can see him and his Kitty, which is named MiniME, on the roof of the Inn in Gadgetzan.

Hope to see you soon!

PS: We have yet to figure out how to make the image grow big to it's original size when you click on it. If someone could kindly leave a comment or email me on how to (since we are not so familiar with this kind of stuff. =P).

Hi guys!!

Hi guys, TLP here!

Today is our very first day of blogging -oh my gosh, so excited!
Okay well here's the deal. We are currently a level 53 Troll Hunter on Barthilas named Sylerend!
This blog will be our home for now, and we will try to write a sort of -but not quite *wink*- diary of our adventures and misadventures in World of Warcraft!
However this is not only a pure WoW blog, and we will also add some of our random (yes, we can be VERY random, some would say almost annoyingly random at times) thoughts.
Here we go, wish us luck!!
