Weekend SummaryFollow

Good morning,

How did you do on your goals?


Done

My rotation was crap, still is sometimes but I'm getting a little better.

Done, got myself the epic belt and pants from tailoring, the neck and offhand from justice points, won a nice blue dagger from a rare raidboss in Twilight Highlands (Zulak'doom or something like that), got almost all of the quests in twilight highlands done for some quest rewards and reputations, and bought the chest for 2200 honor points.

No. I didn't even feel like logging in to her, not bored, but the new 85 warlock is too interesting.

Started it, got to the point just after recruiting Aveline and then it bugged on me, Aveline was somehow always selected, which means that whenever I try to click on anything (barrel, vendor, zone border) I instead chat with her. Dropped the game after that.

How about you, how was your weekend?

Didn't get a chance to post goals but here's what I done anyway.

Worgen mage from 18 --> 20
Hunter 80 --> 81
Replaced my last 333 item on the Paladin. Cash, VP and raids needed for upgrades now.

Last week my goal was to get some raids going, we did and got our Guild achievement of Baradin Hold and our first Magmaw kill. This week we killed Magmaw again and made some progress with Omnitron. Hopefully we can get another before the reset.
Quite pleased we're actually getting somewhere again now.

"RL - Gym this evening. My friends turn to come round for flat warming party tomorrow night. Visit mum on Sunday for mothers day. Girlfriend wants to walk round a lake and feed ducks tomorrow afternoon.

WoW - Tonight will probably be my best session at getting stuff done. Have kept up the fishing and cooking dailies, slowly leveling up. Think I have one more time to do the kill Glop daily for the achievement, the Pebble one doesn't seem to be in the rotation much on my server so that is taking a while. I try and get in Tol Barad when I can, despite the threads complaining about how unfair it is to attackers it seems even to me, I've successfully defended and attacked in the last week, and lost as both sides as well. I also do the dailies when I can, although some take a while with congestion, noticed a couple of achievements for doing dailies here so I'll keep ploughing through them. Any spare time will either be finishing off my tank setup (gems, actionbars, practice on dummy etc) or getting through the twilight highland quests, as I think I can upgrade some gear still through these. Have done a bit of profession leveling on my alt (80 mage, wont be playing it properly), JC so I dont have to rely on the AH and tailoring for bags. Maybe when I get to max level I can try and use it for some money making but thats a long way off. "

RL - Done, was a good weekend, weather could have been better but its England.

WoW - Probably better than expected, did cooking/fishing. Got the Glop achievement so im only going back there for the Pebble one now. Did a few Tol Barad, only won once. Did the dailies and the other set when we held it, have one to kill a shark that needs more people to help. Spent some time practising off spec, think its nearly ready rotation etc wise, would like some better gear so i can go straight to heroics i dont really want to go through normals for gear that wont be around long once i do heroic. Did a lot of twilight highland quests, enough for the achievement but i still have a few to do. Disappointing reward for what seems like the major climax for the area (Skullcrusher?) the item it gave I had better from Hyjal rep which I got to simply doing the quests in that area so it was vendored straight away. Didn't go on mage for professions. Could have done a trash run in a raid (BWD maybe?) but would have had to leave part way through so saved the guild time replacing me and missed out, bit disappointing but i dont want to be on it for hours and hours like I used to be.

The rogue dinged 85 and is kitted out in full Bloodied Leather crafted gear. I started the BG grind last night and desperately need to upgrade my trinkets. Hopefully by next weekend I'll have 2 new ones and maybe a clock or ring or something.

The side project got no love this weekend, but that's ok. Side projects aren't supposed to get love every weekend.

Didn't post any goals, but here's what I accomplished: Raided Saturday night and finally got Incineratus! I actually made out like a bandit. Got my dagger, bracers, my BiS necklace, and the Heart of Ignacious trinket (although I doubt if I'll use it, but nobody else wanted it). Then after raid I did my third heroic Steamvault run, and then half of heroic Underbog and got exalted with CE. Hello, Willow, "Guardian of Cenarius." ^_^ I'm so happy I have a cool title now.

After I logged out on Saturday though, had a long chat with my boyfriend. He's understandably concerned with the amount of time I've been playing WoW the last month or so. We've been having some pretty scary financial trouble, and instead of trying to deal with it I've been playing WoW way more than I should to try and escape. Right now we really can't afford the $15, so I agreed to cancel my account until we're able to get back on our feet. We also came to an agreement that when that happens, I'll start off by enabling parental controls so I can only play on Saturdays, which is my raid night. We'll do that for a few weeks and see how I do. Maybe then gradually increase the controls so I can play a couple hours a day outside of Saturday. I don't want to continue this being an issue for me, especially when I'm so close to finishing up school.

I hit both, then I got sick and took an extra day off. Now I have a level 85 warlock with 525 engineering.

Of course now I get to go from kicking butt in battlegrounds to being on the receiving end for a while. Oh well, all in good time, all in good time...
