50k something or other HKs
Sorry, can't be arsed to log in and check accurate HKs at the moment. Got a thing going in EVE that requires a little attention.
So there won't be any streaming. Apparently my ISP can't offer a higher upload package in my area... even though they also said they do offer one. Just not here. And I was told to call and ask for an exception to be made in my case. Which makes me assume the infrastructure exists... and pisses me off more. But, in any case, there won't be any streaming. Maybe I'll make a youtube channel eventually.
Armok is up to 88, very very slow leveling. I keep getting distracted with ganking and pvp. Halfhill is insanely busy, I've been killed, and killed there a bunch. As an 88 getting kills can be tough since they are geared, but clever use of stuns and guards can get it done. I won't open up on someone there without knowing there are guards available, it'd just get me 2 shot. And my 'fighting' consists of stunning and running away anyway.
I've seen a few videos lately about pvp on the Timeless Isle and to be honest it is all that has kept me leveling. That place looks like a blast. I don't have much to add to this post honestly. Just thought I'd give an update that I am indeed still playing, just slowly.

WPvP Streaming?

Leveling through BGs is different on the hunter from the rogue. That, or the people playing now more commonly have BoA gear. The rogue could 1-shot everything I touched, except people w/ the priest shield, all the way until to DKs were in the picture. The hunter has much less burst but it is sustained a lot better.
I like the role additions to BGs, having a healer most of the time is cool. What isn't super cool is over half of a team being rogues and that happens often. Was in a game today with 7 rogues, me and 2 druids. And we still lost terribly. No excuse for that, other than the rogues all just stayed in mid trying to gank the low hanging fruit. The other team had a few priests, so shields were up everywhere and no ganking was happening.
I'm considering starting to stream on twitch.tv - I have to upgrade my internet first though. My current upload speed is capped at 1.5Mbps and I'll need at least 2 to stream decently. AT&T doesn't offer any faster speeds in my area but they said I could call and ask for an exception, so we'll see. But if I can get an exception I really have to wonder why it isn't available, I mean who doesn't like more money?
Any ideas for content? I have a few already: BGs obviously. It would probably be solo queue unless I can find people to join from my guild, etc. I'm not sure you can do BGs cross-realm but I'd love to if possible. I could also cover Emerald Dream world pvp content, I assume there is still no lack of that to be found. Another possibility is assassinations. I know that sounds weird / stupid but it was a thing one of my old guilds did. You could put up a message of the day with names in it and a bounty attached to each. A screenshot showing the date and time in chat and the corpse somewhere would net you the bounty. Stalking someone on a stream could be really fun. If they catch on and start watching it then I'd have to put a delay on it but that isn't too bad.

Been a loooong time.
50974 HKs
Its been a very long time since I updated the blog. I ended up quitting WoW soon after the last post. Then, in December I picked up EVE Online. I really love EVE but needed a break this weekend so I dug out my authenticator. Well, after I'd given up and started a new account I found my autheticator. Of course. But anyway, I'm back for a trial run of Mists of Pandaria. I started a new hunter w/ BoA gear on Emerald Dream. Name is Mcarmok. So, since I played last it seems like a TON of achievements have been made account bound. I am now at 50974 HKs! Last night I started at 49000, but Mcarmok rules WSG.
Some leveling pvp advice I've found tonight: You can now enchant your BoA gear. The enchants scale down to your level, so if you are a hunter you're gonna want Lord Blastington's Scope of Doom. If a rogue Dancing Steal and Mongoose are probably good choices. That 68 Agi that comes from the scope is just ridiculous at the low levels. Other enchants have been basic, like Stats to chestpiece and agi to legs. I need to get as much honor at low levels as I can though, I apparently don't have all the mail BoAs I need for leveling a hunter.
I'll be on EVE also, usually when I have a few hours to play for sure. This weekend would've been ideal but seeing as I just back into WoW a little I figured I'd play it. See if it gets out of my system and I quit again or I keep going at it.
I can't promise to stay this time. But I'm having fun for now and will keep killing everything I encounter between here (15) and 90. I haven't had a level 90 yet so hopefully I'll get there with this. Warlords of Draenor looks cool and I'd like to see it. Somehow it reminds me of WotLK more than BC but that is okay too. I really liked Wrath, even if it was no BC. See ya in the BGs!
