Pet Battling
I had assumed that Pet Battles would be locked, since I’ve still not picked up Mists. I wasn’t going to pay Blizzard’s digital version, figuring I would find it a lot cheaper at the shops.. and then I forgot to pick it up when we were actually there. I’ll get it soon enough, though, and in the meantime I’ll make a bit more progress with other games, like Dragon Age!
With my Mechanical Chicken by my side, I went out to attack.. a Dung Beetle. Gotta start somewhere 😉
Panda Crush
Last night’s foray into the Mists beta was an eye-opener. So many people.. so much shouting, yelling and of course the spamming of broken macros over and over. I had hoped a Saturday morning would have meant a little more space to breathe on the server.
My quest at hand was The Lesson of the Burning Scroll: snatch a flame from the Master and go to the top of the temple and burn the Edict of Temperance.
Note: you don’t do any snatching as the flame is simply added to your inventory as you accept the quest.. I saw lots of people spamming chat asking about the Flame, not realising that it had been added to their inventory. Perhaps the quest has been done this way because players are clustering horribly on all quest givers and items, and if you had to actually click something in the Master’s hand, you’d be having problems like those trying to burn the Edict upstairs..
Uncountable masses of players were standing right in front of the spawn point of the Edict, some jumping, and many spamming “/c interact Edict of Temperance”. This is part of a macro started as a joke that apparently doesn’t work at all.. not that it stops any of these people from trying, over and over again.
