I just... I can't even...

Wow.
Its been some time since my bored days of nothingness. I'm still bored, and there is still nothingness, but I'm still heeeere. I think...

A LOT has happened since 2010, or so I assume that is the last entry date. *shurgs*
I'm still playing video games, and particularly into PC games. My longest running is always going to be the SIMS series. Final Fantasy XI died out to me when I moved out here to California and World of Warcraft keeps a strong lead in all the games I run around in. I also play some Final Fantasy XIV:Heavensward, but not into it as much as I am all other things stamped with "Blizzard Entertainment".
I'm extremely excited about tons of things with the upcoming expansion, WoW:Legion. I honestly think that a lot of players will return to the game to see this. Though some might agree, its a little too pleasing to the fans as they have been asking for a lot of features in the past that are all due in this new chapter of the story. Blizzard surely does have a lot of work ahead of them to keep the fans remaining happy. In retrospect, its not only Blizzard facing such a struggle. People these days are just used instant gratification and have short attention spans. Its really hard to please every single person that feels their opinion should have more acknowledgment over the next.
In the end, Blizzard will do what Blizzard does best; making games! They now have six titles on their belt. Diablo, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and the highly anticipated, Overwatch.

By the way, I'm really trying to work on getting a career started with Blizzard. I do plan on posting some work here and there and some can already be found on http://pandafeifei.deviantart.com/. I'll spam some shadizzle about the upcoming games, including Blizzcon... which sadly I will not make in person this year. But those who are in the same boat with me, you can purchase your vitual ticket AND you can buy the goodie bag too!

I will revisit all this at a later time. Right now, there are a few twitch streams I would like to catch.
Happy gaming!! :)

Hacked...

So I was hacked a couple weeks ago. Thanks to the help of the GMs and corresponding departments, my account has been recovered.
They took everything from the guild bank on Dirty, then transfered him to an Oceanic server, Thaussarian. Sekuhara was stripped of her goods, but luckily not the guild bank for her guild. She was then transfered to a US server, Kil'Jaeden. I was scared for a while cause I thought they were deleted. I noticed them a couple days later when I was looking at the realm lists to check out some other servers to mess around on. K'J certainly wasn't a choice of mine... and never will be... but there was a (1) on the character list... I was so happy to see my little cutie! I looked on Latin and then Oceanic... and there was Dirty! :D
Needless to say, I now have an authenticator on my account. Its just really really annoying though... because we get disconnected a lot cause our internet sucks ass... So I have to get a code often... its annoying and takes longer to log-in. But I feel a tad bit more safe... especially with that cute ass corehound pup!

If you happened to ever get hacked, don't do anything to the account. Just simply contact a GM and report the problem. You can also email wowgm@blizzard.com to make sure all ends are covered immediately. Make a ticket for each toon that has a loss. Also, report any toons that you did not make, on your realm or any other realm for that matter. I was afraid of redflags, so I didn't delete the toon made on Eitrigg or something like that. There is no need to make a full list of everything that is missing, just get straight to the point:
"I've been hacked! I'm missing two characters, name and name. Several items were also taken from the guild bank that do not belong to me. I also had items in the auction house and I don't know if they have been sold or completely lost. Please help!"
GMs and the investigation teams will take care of everything in regards to items lost. If you are a hunter, check for your pets. If you don't have them, make a ticket for the GMs as well and they can assist you with the restoration of your pets.
Remember, GMs still have to follow rules of their own, so don't get pissy with them if they aren't giving you all the time in the world. Just be happy they are responding and taking action for your loss before they take care of other tickets ("He called me a bitch and ninja'd my heart!" or "These people wont stop spamming me! name name name! Make them stop!) They don't typically give you an estimated time frame for the characters restoration process to be complete, however, know that it can take as quick as a week up to three weeks.
Just so you know, your account may or may not be locked. Mine wasn't. The characters in my petition were locked and unaccessable, however, in the mean time, I was able to play on my druid and level her in the down time from the 80s.

You can visit blizzard.com's support articles for more information about account security, authenticator information, and ways to keep your account and computer safe. You can also find it all here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/index.xml?locale=en_US&gameId=11&rootCategoryId=4271

Pvp and what what? In the bank?

You wanna put it in my bank? (In my bank.)
You wanna put it in my bank? (In my bank.)
Let's put it in my bank.

Need a new bank tab and have to do some serious farming... My server is retarded and everything is undercut for 1 measly copper just to make that sale. Then others that wanna beat out that 1 copper will down it a few silver... and the assholes that don't care will take it down a few gold or more depending on the item. I'm guilty of the few gold... but yeah... most the time I try to keep it even with someone else's stuff as well. I kinda like the new auction house set up... but at the same time its annoying. I'm too worried about per item or per stack that I forget to put the item up for 48 hours. Slips sometimes. Oh well...
Jojo and I made some DK's to run around for pvp in 50's bracket... so far... its hella fun. We haven't gotten to the no XP side yet... but the uncapped side is soooo much fun! Unfortunately, I am one of those ppl that fail at DK and make the class a joke. Fairly common thing though. However... I don't fail at tanking little tards that try to sap me as if its really gonna stop me... Jojo rolled a Troll DK so he can use the racial for more damage. Top that, since he made his Troll shaman, Blojojo, I think he is really comfortable with Trolls... His DK used to be undead, but yeah... he really wanted to PVP with it, so he remade it. :\ Mine is a Tauren named Stringcheese. (She's so cute!:3) While Jojo is running around and ganking everything that comes his way, I'm running in and getting the flag. With the pots we made, Tauren's 5% health bonus, enchants, and the stamina scrolls, I'm bumping 7619 health, a nice armor bonus from plate and frost, I'm ideal for the flag. It came to the point though, that they would try to gank me, and succesfully do it in great numbers... So Jojo uses the fact I'm being bombarded with rogue stuns, pally stuns, and all the healers focusing on what I do manage to beat down, and the occasional entangle from a druid, as if I'm distracting them, grabs the flag, and books it. By the time he is at the bottom of the tunnel, there are more hordies coming to escort him and I'm finally at my last 100 hp. Clean escape, works well though. And I love it when I have them on me, cause when I'm not stun locked, I enjoy a little laugh after I war stomp. :) Occasionally there is a lucky druid or rogue in stealth that manages to slow Jojo down when he gets close to the horde's tunnel... but I seem to die at the right time and get rezzed so I can pull the little fuck off him. Once in a while, we'll meet a tough group. Why is it tough? Because failliance tend to turtle... its what they are known for... In WG and in everything else they do when it comes to PVP... once in a while there will be the random stray... but yeah... not random enough...
Not going to lie though... I really suck at PVP as melee... used to healing flag carrier or huntard or mage. Speaking of huntard... :) Got some heroic bracers from ICC and less than 30 minutes later, got some nice legs from VoA10... saves on emblems. :)


Yay! :)

Broke a damn nail typing in that little face... now I'm :(...
LOL!
Anyway... Roll high! Pvp hard! And take care!

World of Warcraft: The Game of Epic Account Hacking

In my opinion, Blizzard screwed up in regards to safety of their loyal customer accounts. I haven't really looked into it, but it seems I'm hearing more and more about accounts being hacked now than I was when BC came out, pre-BC, etc. Ever since this merge with Battle.net, there are more and more phishing attempts, accounts lost, and securty problems. Why? For one thing, the requied emails to log-in.
As a personal safety precaution, I've made several emails to avoid exposing my account information, even if I don't visit many fansites, download potentially phising programs to change interface, let alone forum sites, or purchase gold or anything related to WoW that isn't officially from Blizzard. Not many people change out their emails and they just use one email that they use for just about everything. Its also a possibility that people make an email for multiple hosts, such as yahoo.com or gmail.com, and keep it the same. For example, emailbox@gmail.com and emailbox@yahoo.com or horde@inbox.com and horde@yahoo.com. Whatever.
There are arguements, though, that these phishing attempts are only by gold sellers and such. Other's say its not cause they wouldn't hack their customers. Its a possibilty though.... cause you purchase the gold, they hack you and take back the gold and just recycle it out. Whether they get traced back and banned, they still get to keep the money earned and have several other ways to resupply with gold to keep on going with their business. People don't want to believe its someone from their own guild when they sign up for guild forums that usually require you to provide an email so they can send a verification link. A download from an add-on or something may carry a keylogger program or anything harmful to monitor your system. A friend or ex might even go as far as to give out your information to people they think they can trust or if you get into a fight. But that is too common of a reason. Yadda yadda. So many different scenarios that people don't really think about and some that are far too common of thought.
Anyway... Blizzard really needs to get something taken care of in regards to all these security issues. They also need to step it up a notch with these damn GMs... I've had a ticket up for 6 days!!!
Stay safe with your accounts people! Get an authenticator if you have to. Get it from the blizzard store. And make sure you check all your redirect URLs when you click on links and such. Make sure they are sending you to the right place. In the URL bar you should see www.blizzard.com, not www.blizzardz.com or whatever. READ IT! Take caution. Don't give out any of your information. blah blah blah. Happy Gaming!

Trial of the Crusader

This is a fairly easy raid to run if you are with others that know what they are doing... I only partially know what is going on...
Today, my new guild, Up the Ante, got an ICC 25 man together... mostly pug. Jojo and I weren't invited along with a few others so we had to do something else even though we were really looking forward to going to ICC... Especially me cause I went and learned the fights for it... It bugs me that they are trying to get more people... but how do they expect people to stay, let alone prove themselves, if you don't let them get involved with things... Anyway... I realized they are all teenagers still in high school and that is an entirely differeny kind of drama... Back on focus... Jojo and I join up in this TOC25... I know the fights up to PVP... however, I kinda understand the first part of twins and some of the king scarab thing from watching Jojo. After finally finding people in our fail ass server (Lothar), we set out and get inside. There is normally at least 1 person that tosses down a feast, but we didn't get that. I don't have any on my toons and Jojo only has some on Moo. Mage puts down a table just as we are about to start. Big whoop.
First fight.... Gormok is up and no one is taking down the snobolds. I'm used to being in great groups and never had problems with the snobolds... but in the end, we kill him. The second fight, Acidmaw and Dreadmaw... wiped. Second attempt... no one was killing snobolds yet again... I had my first snobold on my, but it instantly head cracked me just as I was trying to get out of fire... so I died within a few seconds. I barely saw any heals out or anything.
In conclusion to that bitchery... I'm made of fail. I asked the raid if there were any off tanks to take the snobolds off... needless to say I was laughed at. Jojo informed me AFTER the fight that I'm suppose to run to the front and basically let the AOE damage from tanks and such just spot them down. Like I said... I've never been in a fail ass group that wipes on the first few rounds of ToC10/25. Snobolds barely last long enough for me to even notice if it was on me or not. Not to mention, I've been healed through those things.
I guess I should read and watch some of the fights on You Tube before I actually go in and do these things... Regardless of the fact ICC fights seem to be easy to follow... and I winged it my first time. Really should watch Jojo do them more now.
Now its time to go figure out how to work with Wintergrasp and our disgustingly small numbers of horde on this server... (70% alli / 30% horde; and falling)
