Update: The Move & Off Food

January 15, 2009

Well it would appear im not going to collage today, seems my stomach didnt agree with something i ate lastnight (Or even this morning) I would of sworn that the steaks lastnight had another week left.. oh well! Even though im sitting here with a bucket at my feet, it seems that the move will still happen on time.

Iv got some great new posts saved as drafts and they will go up ASAP as soon as im finished tweaking the new website (Which looks very much like this one) Experimenting with afew newer themes and the like, seeing what new potential it has. However i should be finished with that around 6pm GMT tonight.

Anyway off to play my ironbreaker for abit and throw up some more of my guts!

Moving Home..

January 14, 2009

Well seeing as i was a winner in the competition over at Wizards & Wenches i bagged myself a proper domain, hosted on the blogwarhammer server (Kindly provided by Regis) and as such i will gradually be moving from here to the domain name over there!

Theres lots of new goodies being on a private server, such as my own email! And lots of other tools i can fiddle around with, so i couldnt decline, it was just too good! (Although i did get abit of a scare when Regis mentioned FTP and i thought back to the coding days…)

The blog will never go down so have no fear! As ill keep posting on here until the transition is complete and im ready to post on the new blog! However we might loose some old posts, i will try to take the most important ones with me, but bear in mind somethings can be lost!

Thanks again!

Tank Walls Ahoy!

January 14, 2009

I was sitting in a keep.. on a rather plump iron breaker.. wondering what use i could be, when i noticed there was afew of my guildies kicking around, always eager to group up with people i know are half decent and on vent, we formed a warband and went back on our merry way.

About 10 minutes after this a fresh wave of destro showed up and started beating on the door, now currently we only had around 1/2 there numbers, so we knew it was going to be a pretty tough fight until the rest of order managed to get back to mandreds. However it was around this time i chucked out the idea of a “Tank Wall” – Now dont get me wrong i know its not a new concept, but id never been in one and wondered how (If at all) well they worked. As we only had afew tanks in the group we decided to try it at the top of the stairs.

So there we are all lined up.. we hear the doors come down and the healers start spam healing and then.. The destro just seemed to stop.. I dont know whether it was out of shock (That order were organised) or that they were waiting for something.. but they just stopped. After about 5 minutes waiting downstairs (Due to our two brilliant engineers Smithy & Angthar teaching them a lesson about Not grouping up on the stairs) they decided to rush us, and much to my suprise we actually held them! But not only did we hold them we actually counter-rushed them and managed to wipe them!

By now me and my guildies were speachless, we managed to  pin it down to either sheer luck or that their average level was lower than ours. However, once they had reformed we seemed to aboslutely batter them again! Of course by then we had afew more players, but we were still outnumbered (As far as i know) Im still amazed at how they really didnt know how to deal with it, they were caster heavy and we were MDPS heavy, yet i only saw one Sorc try to AoE (Who was always quickly targetted by every RDPS and who i felt rather sorry for)

Does this show that destro have been living off the “Zerg” tactics for too long? Or simply that nobody really knows what to do at T2? Either way i had a blast, and this has totally changed my view on player collision! (Although getting stuck between team-mates is still rather annoying)

To sum to up, player collision rules, tank walls rule and i got a majour e-peen boost – all in one night!

WAR: Age of Blogging

January 4, 2009

warblogThats right, this is the Month of Blogging! A new incentive by the blogwarhammer team to get more WAR Blogs set up!

I myself only started blogging around a month ago, and i was sketchy – at first – if it would “work” for me. It did, and i love writing and keeping people updated! If your sitting there thinking “But i cant set one up” “It takes too long” have no fear! There are many sites such as WordPress and Blogger that are simple and easy to set up and maintain.

Im rather short on time this evening, writing my Introduction Post to the new class im playing, so if you want to read about this in more detail head over to Regis’ Post Here or Syp’s Post Here

All in all blogging is a great way of sharing your thoughts with a community about a passion that you have, and id reccomend it to anyone!
