I suppose I should be up front here, there are some spoilers for the Nagrand quest line. It’s a moment that was sure to come in Warlords, the return of Garrosh Hellscream.  The Orc who started all this mess with his Time Traveling craziness.  I have to admin, I’m actually a little disappointed.  I was kind of hoping he’s be a Raid boss, or at least a dungeon boss.  Granted the in game single player scenario events are kind of like dungeons, it just felt like Garrosh would get more.  I think I’m less disappointed in his death as I…

During the original reveal of Warlords of Draenor, there was a short clip of a dungeon that takes place on a moving train.  A lot of people were pretty stoked for it, myself included.  It’s something that’s pretty unique compared to a lot of dungeons.  Most Dungeons consist of running through a castle or a cave of some sort killing monsters and bosses.  They are often divided into various wings or phases.  Grimrail Depot really isn’t much different than this set up, except you get the intensity of ridding on a moving train for much of the trip. The actual…

It hasn’t even been a month and I’ve already made it to level 100 on my Hunter, RamenJunkie.  I’m certainly nowhere near the first, it just feels like it was a pretty quick trip compared to going to 90.  i imagine this was intentional in Blizzard’s part actually.  Most of the “real game” happens at Max Level anyway.  I’m somewhere around 92 or 93 on Ramchan, still in the initial Garrison area.  I think part of why this felt so much faster than in MOP is that unlike MOP I wasn’t starting at level 1, fresh and new to the…

So, the latest expansion to World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor has been met with a lot of positive buzz, and it certainly seems to deserve it.  It does a lot of ambitious new things like the Garrisons, new play styles of Quest Hubs, a generally more cinematic experience, etc.  It also does a good job of simplifying the experience, a lot of this has to do with the level 90 boost and incentivizing people to "get back into the game". Personally, probably the best aspect is the professions. I really enjoy leveling professions, I’m not super sure why honestly…

Ok, so yeah, I promised myself I wouldn’t put myself through the hell of getting a second Legendary Cloak after slaving away over the first.  But then Valve went and made the drops a bit easier and removed the dumb valor grind.  I also knew what I was doing so getting Rep and junk was ridiculously easy (It literally took me an hour in a group).  So I’ve gotten a second Cloak for my Hunter, just in time for Warlords tomorrow. Irritatingly, it has the same lame blue Proc as my Warrior’s cloak…

I opened my email last week to a bit of a surprised, one I am a bit mixed about.  I had been selected for the Warlords of Draenor Beta.  I’m mixed because, “Oh cool, Beta!” and “Oh crap, I wanted to avoid the spoilers and I have all these level 90s I’m working on”.  I ended up playing it, I’ve done maybe 2-3 hours so far total, though I haven’t been keeping track.  I decided to transfer over my Blood Elf Warrior main and run her through the paces.  I had a couple of motivations.  I’m not sure if I…

RamenJunkie has finally made it, all the way to level 90. I almost feel bad for the poor Grummels up in Kun Lai Summit, as soon as I hit 90, I just abandoned them to the Hozen that were harassing them. Surely some other adventurer will come along and help them. I was going to head off and pick up Pandarian Flying then head to Timeless Isle, except Pandaren Flying is like 5000 gold. I have 5000 gold, I just, have better things to blow it on than flying around in Pandaria, especially since I don’t plan to do anymore…
