Hiatus

I've not been on WoW lately, I've taken a hiatus from it while waiting for the Warlords of Draenor expansion to drop. I'm sure I'm not alone in doing this, but it has afforded me the opportunity to explore other games and branch out into genres I don't normally approach. Lately I've been playing a lot of Star Wars: The Old Republic, Civilization V, Robocraft, DC Universe Online and a few others. Normally, I'd broadcast my playtime via twitch, but when I upgraded my computer, I wiped the harddrive clean. For the life of me I cannot remember the broadcasting software I'd used to broadcast over twitch and to be honest, I've been REALLY lazy about it. Not a lot of people were interested in watching me play WoW, and I don't think any would be interested in watching me flail around in games I have no idea how to play, like Planetside2. Speaking of Planetside,... I really want to get into FPS gaming on the PC. I was a huge fan of FPS gaming on consoles with Battlefield 3 and 4 via Playstation and Halo, Homefront and Borderlands via Xbox360. Unfortunately, I feel restricted and limited on the PC because I've used a controller for my entire life. Trying to get into FPS games on the PC pretty much requires using the keyboard/mouse because most games don't offer controller support. Which is fine, if I were a game developer I wouldn't wanna spend extra time/money porting the game for a piece of hardware that few people would use anyway. And, yes, I know, you hardcore FPS gamers out there will argue that a keyboard/mouse control setup is better for FPS gaming anyway, why would I ever want to use a piece of peasant equipment to play games on the master race, right? Well, it's just what I'm comfortable with. Titanfall, for example, allows the use of controllers and I manage pretty well playing that with my peasant equipment.

At least it's not like MechWarrior, right?

Still, I feel extremely restricted in what games I can and can't play/enjoy because of my personal affinity for a smaller, more compact control scheme than having to reach individual digits across a 24" flat keyboard. Also I can never seem to get the mouse sensitivity -just- right for FPS gaming. Now, other games, like Civ5, Robocraft, SW:TOR, Rift, etc, work just fine for keyboard/mouse movement and control probably because they use the same or similar control setup as WoW, which I've been playing for the better part of the last decade. I am most excitedly looking forward to WoW's expansion that I can get back to a game I know and love without having to grind through the same year-old stale content over and over again. That was one of the things I, and many others, enjoyed about WoW. Where other MMO's like Everquest and Dark Ages left the same boring content up for months and months, WoW generated new content so often it kept the game fresh. Just when you were getting tired of Naxx and OS, BAM! Here comes Ulduar. Soon as that's stale, BAM! ICC. And it's worked that way for years... until the final patch of Pandaria which has been out for almost a year. I just couldn't find any entertainment in running the SAME dungeon, versus the SAME bosses over and over and over for 12 months. I do miss it though. Mainly I miss my friends and the people I've come to know via WoW over the years. Though, when I do return to WoW, I will likely be updating my main character from my Death Knight to something else. I'll probably move back to my paladin, but we'll see. Only time will tell. 

Demons run when a good man goes to war.

That's all for now. Questions and comments are always welcome.

Drunken rant

Online gaming can be one of the greatest experiences of your life. It can also be an infuriatingly frustrating experience that makes you want to choke a motherfucker. Some people are pleasant and fun to be around. There are funny people, witty people, charming people, even stubborn and determined people that can all be pleasant to be around. Then of course, there are the douchebags. The rotten end of the spectrum that just makes you lose faith in humanity. Unfortunately, sometimes these folks born from the crust of satan's taint like to masquerade around as pleasant folk, getting other pleasant folk to enjoy their company and form friendships with them. Then they do rotten shit. Oh! Here's an example! A guy is having frustration and issues with a service for a game that he plays. He and I have already had a falling out, but instead of leaving it be, I'm going to attack him via social fucking media and piss him off more, then, when my friends (those pleasant people who he enjoys the company of) ask me about it, I'll play the innocent fucking victim and act like he's the douchebag that attacked poor innocent me. No. You know what. Fuck you and fuck your pleasant 'friends.' I tried to be nice. I tried to be civil. You wanna tell me I'm a douche because (god forbid) I support a FAKE faction in a FICTIONAL universe inside a videogame called WARcraft. You know... because it's not called play-nice-and-be-friendscraft. So I make a few jabs now and then at the opposing faction, then your friend attacks me, and -I'M- the asshole? No. No. No and fuck you. YOU and your buddies are the assholes. Go fuck yourselves.

And the Wind Rider you flew in on!

And IF one of the 3(probably less) people that reads this blog is a friend of or is who I'm talking to, you know I'm fucking right. It's all right there in black and fucking white. I never "attacked" anyone. I made a few jokes, sure. One that went 'over the line' (no, it fucking didn't, but whatever. Baby had her feelers hurt.) And so I apologized for it and never uttered the words again. And this shithead bitch wants to tell me I'm a pig and there are apparently 'so many people that've told her 'thank you for telling him off, I wish I could've' I call bullshit on that. I'm not unapproachable, bitch. You got a problem with me, bring it to me. If it's legit, I'll apologize and adjust my behavior. But when YOUR sorry ass is sending ME pics asking if I think you're pretty because you got some stupid idea in your brain that Vori's flirtatious personality is only directed at you, then you get pissy when you discover oh shit,... he doesn't just flirt with me... he flirts with everyone, male, female or otherwise... Guess I hate him now. SORRY YOU HAVE THIN SKIN, SHITHEAD. But yeah. I was calm. I was civil. I took the high road and didn't insult or try to bring down those involved. Clearly, this blogpost is the end of that bullshit. I don't give a fuck. Take your drama to your mamma because I'm done with the lot of you. All three of you douchebags have been unfollowed and may your battlegrounds and raids always fail. Again, if you're one of the douchers, feel free to never look at my twitter/blog again. There's nothing for you here anyway, asshole.

I don't want your ass-print on my fucking door

Now, do I wish them any harm? Not at all. Do they wish me harm? I'd bet so. Whatever. Can't handle someone not liking the faction you play on a video game? Then go play one where everyone's on the same side. Final Fantasy XIV is only $30 on steam. Additionally, if you've no idea who I'm talking about or what I'm talking about, you've my sincere apologies. I've been told the best way to vent your frustration without causing any physical harm is to write it down so, I figured, where better than my own personal blog? So this has been a pissed-off, drunken rant brought to you by the one and only, Vorigoth.

Suffer well.

Return of the V

So it's been a while and the whole 3 of you that read my lil Warcraft blog have probably been wondering... "Where does that squiggly line in my eye go when I try to look directly at it?" Well I can't answer that. But I can tell you that I've returned to write more about Warcraft and my experiences therein! If you follow my twitter you'll know that I've had an issue with Blizzard over the last month. Long story short: I paid for a character boost and instead of taking the 'few minutes' it's supposed to, it took 135 hours and I was/am pissed aboot it. But I'm not gonna get into all of that mess because I'd rage over it harder than a 11 year old getting pwn'd in Call of Duty.

THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

So instead, I'm gonna update about updates! That way you can update while you update when you update! I've been playing the warrior a lot more and have been enjoying it. Especially since RNG seems to love my warrior way more than it loves any of my other classes. In a 3-day span my little shitty warrior went from 461 item level to 510 and he seems to climb more and more every time I play him. My guild keeps telling me that warriors own face in BG's but I've yet to see that happen. (mainly because I don't PvP often.) Speaking of my guild! We finally got a good, core team together for our 10 mans and I MIGHT start streaming those raids again. Time will tell on that. Unfortunately one or two or our raiders still seem to have the commitment to raiding you'd expect a politician to have to his campaign promises. This is especially unfortunate when one of them is a healer AND the boyfriend of our other healer. So if we outright replace his MIA ass, she'd get all kinds of pissy and we'd likely end up having to replace 2 healers rather than just pug one every week. But, with the team finally starting to pick back up to where we were before we left our last guild, we've started to dip our collective toes into heroic raiding and I got my first taste of Heroic Immerseus this week. FUCK. THAT. FIGHT. It is the epitome of clusterfuck incarnate. If you've never seen that fight, here's a rundown of it via Fatboss and it's a helluva lot more difficult than the calm, collected Fatboss voiceovers let on. Unfortunately for my Death Knight, these heroic fights are the only things that are worth any bit of a damn as far as item level is concerned.

All your wipes are belong to me!

On a different note, I've begun playing my Horde toons more often, considering the current content of the game has gotten stagnant and I, like many players, am getting bored enough to do stupid things with my warcraft time. That being said, I play Horde occasionally on the Kul Tiras server and I'm generally associated with <Awkward Moments>  I also took the time to try out Elder Scrolls Online and while it's a really fun game, unfortunately I know only about 2 people that play it and they play it rarely so playing ESO felt like I was paying $15 a month to play Skyrim Considering I was playing by my lonesome more often than not I cancelled and I'll stick with WoW.

As always, your feedback, comments, questions and concerns are welcome! You can always leave a comment here or find me on my Twitter machine or find me in game at Vorigoth#1349 I like to think I'm a pretty approachable person and I'm always happy to hear from you! I promise I'll try not to be too long between updating my blog next time.

Son of Grom

Garrosh Hellscream. Hated by 95% of the Warcraft player/fanbase and top baddie of the Mists of Pandaria expansion. As a character full of lore, I love Garrosh. But as a boss in the game? Fuck this guy. He ranks right up there with other bosses I absolutely hated raiding when they were current content. Dastardly folks like Gleuth, C'thun and Lady Vashj. Garry, however, tops them all in my book. This guy has so many different mechanics that the choice between progression raiding through him and slamming your fingertips in the door of a 1984 Ford Bronco is a difficult one. I keep having to tell myself: "I'm an adult. This is just a video game. We have good players. We -can- do this." And then Garry throws out explosive sha that buff each other by 200% when they die and faces start melting....  My point here is that this guy is one tough motherfucker.

All who challenge me will BURN in the fires of my hatred!

So, the in-game encounter is comprised of essentially three phases. Each phase has it's own breakdown and kinda has 'phases' of it's own. The first phase has a couple of main mechanics that are total party-fouls if not managed. The Exploding Iron Star mechanic is mitigated by having a ranged DPS take out one of the engineers on the far flanks of the room to prevent 2 stars from spawning and only 1 cuts through one half of the room. Additionally, the raid has to concern themselves with adds which he will occasionally use a war shout to make them 150% more powerful and his lovely desecrated weapon which is thrown at a random player (usually a ranged) and generates an aura of don't-stand-in-that. He draws the raid into an intermission phase that puts them into one of three different temples of Pandaria where the raid must dispatch sha adds, collect a life-saving 50% dmg reduction buff from the bubbles those adds leave behind then avoid a super-pissed Garrosh as he tries to annihilate the everliving hell out of you and your raiders. Oh, and did I mention? The longer you take with the sha adds during the intermission, the more corruption Garry gains. And the more corruption ol' Garry has, the more of his abilities become 'empowered' increasing the deadliness of them by one metric ass-ton. Next, he moves into Phase2 which consists of him MIND CONTROLLING the fuck out of your companions and also using a lovely ability called whirling corruption which does a pretty good amount of damage to all players but is especially deadly to tanks and melee. Also his big brown ass is still throwing the occasional desecrated weapon out at you which narrows your field of play by making it's big stupid auras. You'll have another intermission phase once you're done with phase 2 where he'll pull you into another temple and you'll conduct yourself accordingly. Y'know, wipe your feet before entering, keep your language polite and murder everyone inside without spilling anything on the carpets. The usual. Next you have Phase3, or, the rage phase. Not called the rage phase because of Garry's rage, but because of how much unfiltered anger you'll hear through your voice communications when your comrades die so close to having slain Garrosh. This phase forces a healthy mix of tunnel-vision, don't tunnel-vision, praying to the WoW gods and a dash of luck. When he goes through this final transformation, he becomes a big ass orc that looks like he got covered in irradiated purple vomit. Seriously,... think Infested Terran from starcraft, only less nightmarish and more Barney the Dinosaur. ALL of his wonderful abilities become empowered by the heart of Y'shaarj so this phase is HELL on your healers. Your DPS need to maintain a decent stack as best they can while your best tank tries like hell to control any sha adds that pop. You hit your heroism/bloodlust here and ALL your cooldowns. Don't be fuckin stingy here, people.

Let me take a moment to stop and let you all know that poor ol' 565 ilvl Vorigeth has yet to make it beyond this point. Garrosh gets to about 5% HP left and suddenly my raid team starts dropping like flies. There's just a helluva lot to manage during this fight, but we'll get him eventually. We've only been stuck on him for 3 weeks now.

Anyway, at this point you should be very, very close to dropping Garry. Keep your Rdps and heals stacked together but always on the move. You don't want those sha adds bursting up beneath 3-4 people and splattering them all over Garrosh's new throne room walls. Melee and Tanks are required to pop as much mitigation as they can during the Empowered Whirling corruption while maintaining as much DPS as humanly possible until Garry finally bits the dirt. Just typing all that in a simplified form makes my brain hurt. I can't imagine what sicko at Blizzard got a jolly from designing it.

"Right when they get within seconds of killing him,.. boom! He'll wipe them all! hahaha!"

But Garrosh is more than just a Raid boss. He's been a staple in the Warcraft world since the Burning Crusade and his family has been around the Warcraft universe for even longer than that. We first meet Garry as a whiny depressed little bitch in Nagrand out in Outland. He was a chief among the Mag'har and through his story, he travels to Orgrimmar, meets with Thrall and, over the course of three expansions, he beefs the hell up and becomes the kind of Orc you don't want to meet in a dark alley. Honestly, he encompasses everything that comes to my mind when the word "orc" is mentioned. Ruthless, bloodthirsty and battle-hardened. We're talking about the guy that led the Horde military to victory over the Scourge threat. The guy that took a rag-tag society of outcasts and rebels and turned them into a military force of reckoning with an iron fist. He's been pivotal in taking the game in an entirely new direction when he killed Cairne Bloodhoof and again when he completely terraformed the Vale of Eternal Blossoms into the Vale of Eternal Sorrows. When Blizzard made the call to have Garrosh take up the mantle of Warchief of the Horde, a lot of players were upset and disappointed. They called for a re-consideration for keeping Thrall as the Warchief or even making Highlord Saurfang the new Warchief of the Horde. Some players even took to voting for silly, inane things like Basic Campfire. Me? I was excited. I was happy that the game had taken a turn from everyone trying to get along and be friends to introducing a war-mongering, power-hungry monster of a leader that would take us back to being in the World of WARcraft. The game needed Garrosh. And still does to continue being the competitive, top-of-the-line MMO we all know and love. Without conflict, we may as well all go play Elmo games together.

    You either die a Hero.....                                       Or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

One shot, One Kill

This may end up being a bit of a rant, but personally, I feel Blizzard went a little overboard with the insta-gib enemies in this expansion. The boss fights and elites didn't feel like a "challenge" to kill so much as they felt like they were a total luck of the draw due to the over-abundance of  "Boss targets random player with this ability and they get hit in the face with the flying fecal of festering fate, doing five bazillion dmg. You cannot live through this attack." Now, I know I'm being exaggerated, but come on. Look at some of the world-boss abilities throughout the Pandaria expansion. Galleon, the weakest of the world-bosses does an ability called Stomp. 250k dmg to all players within 100 yards (which is all players within range to engage.) A lot of fresh 90's don't have that much HP and thus makes the WEAKEST world boss, an insta-gib to the primary players that can benefit from killing him. And I'm sure we all remember fighting Oondasta, right? The big bastard of a T-rex on the Isle of Giants that was originally designed to be SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT that the common strategy was "Okay guys, we're just gonna continually zergrush him from the graveyard and hope we can kill him before the diminishing returns from ghostrunning stop us."  I'm serious, that's no joke. The most common strategy for Oondasta when it was first introduced was to zerg rush the hell outta this dino and pray to the wow gods your raid was big enough to kill it before everyone was in rez-limbo from ghost walking too often. And this often led to Oondasta defeating the ENTIRE server by crashing it because of how many players ended up as multiple skeleton corpses.

It almost looks like ICC's floor pattern!

And it's not just the world bosses. The raid bosses of the Mists of Pandaria expansion tend to employ the kill-you-immediately tactic quite often. Now, that's not saying -all- bosses do. Some of the Pandarian encounters are really fun and employ some very fun and interesting raid mechanics. Bosses like Gara'Jal in MSV who employs the Cross Over ability which makes for an interesting twist on a boss fight without being an immediate, irreversible death to the player. Or the Tsulong encounter in ToES that employs the Day/Night mechanics that make the entire raid work for the kill. So there are quite a few fun and interesting encounters in Pandaria that don't fit the insta-gib collection.

I'm still waiting on ol' Hogger to become a Raid Boss!

But, as I said, there are a lot of bosses (especially in Siege of Ogrimmar) that the insta-gib is a go-to mechanic for. General Nazgrim has one when he calls his reinforcements and the Kor'Kron Assassins come out to stab you in the back for 460-540k damage. This one-shot's most cloth or leather DPS and healers. Thok the Bloodthirsty's ability which he fixates one player is an insta-gib as well if you happen to get in front of him. There are plenty more but I think we all get the idea. Now, I understand that these abilities are avoidable and manageable. If they weren't no-one would ever raid against these bosses because they'd just one-shot everyone and the boss would be unbeatable. I just feel that some of the developers and designers got a wee bit lazy on the mechanics of some of these fights by using instant death as a primary design for a lot of abilities rather than a fun, unexpected or even unique encounter mechanic.

How I imagine Raid developer meetings work.

I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about developing or creating a MMORPG or any game for that matter. But I've played them for over a decade now and I'm fairly certain I speak for the majority when I say that a raid or boss mechanic that instantly kills you, isn't fun to work with or around. You ultimately feel like your slamming your head against a brick wall until eventually your skull wins through broken and bleeding and you managed to down the boss. I think I'm through with ranting over this. As always I'm open to discussion on any and all topics. What's your opinion on the mechanics behind Blizzard's raid bosses? Drop by my twitter and let me know what you think, or leave a note on the blog. I'm always eager to hear from other players! You can find my raid team dealing with these mechanics and more Friday and Saturday nights at 11pm EST on my twitch channel and I'll write again soon!

Roleplay

Personally, I used to do a lot of roleplay. I purposefully moved my characters to the server Wyrmrest Accord to do it. It's a good waste of time and, with the right people, it's a very enjoyable experience. There are several addons that can assist and make RP more in-depth and enjoyable. The ones I used were MyRolePlay (MRP) MogIt and Outfitter. I roleplayed as a Death Knight of the Ebon Blade and even found a guild on Wyrmrest called <The Shadow Vault> that was centered around DK RP and I had a blast until it seemed everyone in that guild had their little online boyfriends/girlfriends and there was no room for a third wheel in RP anymore. It wasn't sexual, mind you, it was just a matter of they'd always end up paying more attention to each other than the other people involved in the RP. I can't count how many times I was able to just walk away unnoticed from guild RP. But, all-in-all, it was a fun experience. Hell, it even prompted me to draw my character because the amount of detail you put into describing your character makes it become nothing short of a masterpiece. Unless you're one of those cookie-cutter roleplayers that plays the "I'm a mighty adventurer and nothing effects me so I'm just here to drink beer and fight anyone at the drop of a hat" There's no depth there and you can find it at any bar.

I drew this of my character when I played on WrA

Recently, I've noticed a trend of folks defending the Roleplay server Moonguard. Whenever a mild joke about how sexual this server tends to be, these MoonGuardian defenders of their realm step forth with gusto to try and downplay how NSFW the server in question -really- is. They tend to jump to conclusions when Moon Guard is called the whore server and take it that you're calling THEM a whore. Or even when the server is made fun of in light, casual conversation these folks drop in like SWAT from the rafters and start loudly defending their server. And, honestly, most of the time it's not the server as a whole they're defending. It's generally themselves that they're defending. Saying things like "There are decent, normal people on Moon Guard!" and "Not everyone ERP's on that server, it's just Goldshire, where people from off-server sully our play."  Look, I'm not trying to rustle anyone's jimmies here, but I've been to Goldshire and many other common hotspots for RP aboard Moonguard. If you think the off-server perverts are leveling characters from 1-90 just to dance naked and beg for gold, I've got some ocean-front property in Kansas I'd like to sell you. Those players aren't there to 'sully your server' and those players certainly aren't 'off-server perverts.' Those are your people. That's your server's normal population. Now I'm not saying EVERYONE from Moonguard is an ERP pervo lookin' for a quick cyberfuck. But the proof is in the pudding here that Moonguard is a server that is well-known for it's promiscuity. It's nothing against you, the individual player. But don't take up arms to defend a server that has been known for YEARS to be the epicenter of Warcraft rule-34 and sexual deviance.

Every player in this Screenshot is from Moonguard and 74+

All this came about when I was browsing twitter and the caption "keeping moonguard's subscriber base capped since 2014" was on a picture of the new human female models. I found it hilarious. Some Moonguardians did not. I know a few people that play regularly on MG and often I hear about what MG players want from the new expansion. Skimpier armor models for both males and females, the 'naked' player model to have thinner bra straps and thongs, more emote options with sexier animations. Look, this is all well and good and I have my pervy moments like any other 20-something year old man. But basing your game play and spare time around perving over an in-game character model? I guess the World (of warcraft) takes all types. I wonder if these moonguardians have looked into real women that can be much more eye-pleasing. Like Pamela Horton, Playboy's Miss October 2012 and World of Warcraft player.

Raiding and Raid etiquette

Look, I know we've all been there. Whether it's LFR, Flex, Normal or Heroic, 10 or 25 man and everywhere in between, we've all experienced 'that guy.' You know who I'm talking about. The one raider that makes your raid nights a draaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. Lucky for my raid team, we got rid of That Guy. For us, he was the elitist. The one who had nothing better to do with his time than criticize every other member of the raid team about how 'you're doing it wrong' or 'you're not pulling your weight because you're in the wrong spec.' For us, he was a warlock. And not even a very good one. He had a cowards way of complaining about it too which is just as bad, if not worse than, the blatant, blunt complainer that whines in raid and guild chat about "He's playing his toon wrong and we're carrying him" or "She needs to put out more dispels even though I know nothing about healing and dispel cool downs." This guy complained to our GUILD LEADER and other officers about how the raid team that had -just- been made like, last month, wasn't progressing fast enough for his tastes. Look, if this is how you think you should handle issues like that within your guild and raid team, you really need to rethink the question "Am I being a douche bag?" because the answer is probably a resounding 'yes.' Anyway, we traded this fella out of our raid team to another raid team that "better suit his play style." (read: Was further behind and full of our guild's elitist douche bags.) But, it's not just the elitists that make raiding suck sometimes. "That Guy" comes in many shapes, sizes and attitudes. I've experienced the whole spectrum, from the tank that's geared for DPS and gemmed for healing to the Hunter that REFUSES to take off aspect of the pack. So for anyone that's confused on how to act like a good raider or be a good raider, I've made this handy little guide to assist you with your troubles!

Vori's guide to Raider Etiquette

Get your notepads and tablets ready to take some good notes! You'll be tested on this each and every time you enter a raiding situation. Ready? Let's begin.

1. Don't be a dick. 

That's it. It's really pretty simple. Don't be the one that does the things that you wouldn't want other people doing to you. (That goes for you, Mr. Aspect-of-the-Pack Hunter.) Now I know what you're thinking... What about knowing the fights? What about coming to the raid prepared? What about understanding mechanics, using raiding websites, and theorycrafting!?  Well that's all well and good and expected, you don't go driving for the first time without basic requirements do you? You know, keys, licence, seat belts, a car... Raiding isn't as serious as some people take it, after all, Warcraft is a great game, but it is still just a game. You show your respect to your raid leader and your raid and conduct yourself like a decent human being. If you don't want others to be an elitist doucher to you, don't be one to them. Now, this doesn't extend over friendly advice. Because I've assisted people in warlock rotation and Death Knight tanking before, but it shouldn't ever cross from the realm of friendly assistance to elitist bullying. Because nobody wants someone else preaching over them and telling them how to play the game they pay for.

Mine runs on Orc blood.

In other news, I was finally able to craft my own Sky Golem! This instantly became my favorite mount in the game. And the best part is that it didn't cost me $25 to get a kickass mount. Also, our raid team is working wonderfully together. Last night we downed all the bosses in SoO up until Siegecrafter Blackfuse. We begin working on him tonight at 11pm EST. As always I stream it live at twitch.tv/k05t and welcome anyone and everyone to come and stay a spell while throwing suggestions, comments, questions and concerns at me. I can also be found on the Twitter machine @Vorigoth and in-game with the battletag Vorigoth#1349 I'd like to hear from you!
