Week no.5

Today my subscription for WoW ended. Now i have to decide if i want to play on or if i stop with WoW. Now let me say the following. WoW aint WoW as it used to be back in the days, when people gave up school or university because the had a raid appointment. It doesnt take a hole year to get from 1 to 60 anymore. The game became more causal (and also does things for the guys raiding hardcore stuff). Personaly I think that is a good thing. I dont like the idea of spending all my year in a game. A single one! (On the other hand... why not?). 

Anyway that beein said I think I will play on. Maybe a bit less this month, because I am planing to play through all Warcraft Strategie Titles from 1 to 3 with add ons! I guess I will blog about those things here too. 

With level 70 i really got interessted in WoW Lore and startet Questing. For now its my favorite playstyle. I still like to go into Dungeons sometimes. But i really like WoW Quests. In Week 5 a lot of things happend:

First i played through to very epic Quest Lines. The first one play in the underwater zoneVashj'ir

and is the best Questline i played in WoW so far. It has beautiful underwaterlandscapes a cool story and epic moments. You get your own seahorse mount. How awesome is that? 

 

In Vashj'ir you can find two big sea creatures whom are actually demigods if you ask the WoWWiki (http://www.wowwiki.com/Nespirah). 

One of the is attacked by the Naga and the other one is also attacked and almost dieing. You enter both of them in the Vashj'ir Questline. 

So the next screenshot is kind of unique, because i had to trick the game to get it. You will discover a undersea boat along this Questline. Normally you have to get inside the underseaboat and you dont see very much what is happening outside. But i didnt got into it but was standing on the outside. The questsequence didnt trigger so I had to take the ride again. But it was totally worth it.

I finally found Techies in WoW this week. They can be found in Nordend. 

The second Questline I did was in Uldum. There I meet Harrsion Jones and Cat people you struggeld with a Jin sent by Lord Deathwing himself. In this Questline I took that awesome Screenshot. Its a city in the sky kind of. You can only acess it through a dunegon instance though.

A battle in Uldum.

 

Welp and in week 5 I finally got to level 85 and with that I could travel to Pandaria to see my first real Mists of Pandaria contend. 

 

There I was fighting people of the Alliance and than helping the Ho-zen a ape kinda tribe with one of the funniest NPCs I have seen so far. He is called Riki and is the Ho-zen on the left in the next screen (He is in love with the undead rouge on the right but doesnt know that she is dead :)

My troll of the Week.

 

Thats it for week no. 5. 

Good luck have fun

Week no.4

In week four i started my first twink for this year.

This is Rím. Rím is the daughter of a screw factory owner  named Gwarz Drehzahn. He allways wanted his daughter to take over the factory when she is old enough. So she had to work a lot for her father when she was younger. But Rím wasnt interessed in the bussiness of her father. The struggeld a lot. One day she went away from home and left here family. She was still very young and eventually got lost in an era called durotar. Near starvation a wandering shaman found her and took care of her. From this shaman she learned the arts of shamanism. When she was old enough to take care of her self, she thanked the shaman and went out to discover azeroth for here own. She wanted to take the things she had learned to cure the weak and fight for those who are underpressed by the stronger ones. Now she is standing in Orgrimmar reading a piece of paper on the wall which says ...

I level her to level 25 in two days and then switched back to Valrjan. Now i have a twink i can RP with. 

With level 70 i started leveling. With 70 you can fly in nordend which is really important. I discovered the race of the Tusken which of course reminded me of Tuskar from Dota. I did all quests i could find from this race. They werent really spectacular but it was something i cared about. Questing in WoW never felt so good until this point. The thing is: Questing only became better form here on.

This is a pirate goblin i stumbled across in one of my Tusken Quests. He thinks he is the greatest pirate captian of all and that he will conquer the seas with his "ship". 

Rarly i did some dungeons. Now this is a boss from one of my favorite dungeons so far. A giant spider with a lot of spiderlings (Broodmother).

 

Now my Troll of the week has to be Mandroki who is a NPC (and might become a Boss later on). With my knew favor for Quests my new goal is to do all Quest who are somewho Troll related. So i did this somehow long low level Quest in Stranglethorn Valley. I resurected this guy from the dead just to be betrayed by him. I think i will meet him again. 

 

Dalarn. The city of mages. I went to Dalarn to start a quest located in Zul'Drak. Zul'Drak is the home of an ancient Troll tribe called Drakkari. The Drakkari where famous for being the most violent tribe of all Trolls. Therefore they got banned from the other Troll tribes. The settelt far north and when the old world burst Zul'Drak in Nordend became there home and they become ice trolls. The quest i started though was about an Arena located in Zul'Drak. The quest said that you would need about 5 heros to play this quest. I didnt care and started the quest alone. I did quite well against the first boss in the arena, when suddenly a PC called Dragonblade came form the sky to aid me. Together we defeated all the bosses the Arena of Zul'Drak threw at us. In the end we where the new Champions of Zul'Drak. That was one of my best moments in WoW so far. It was really tense and spontanious.Thank you Dragonblade again. Your legend will not be forgotten.

Week no.3

A lot of great things happend in week three.

I went the the Tanaris Desert. It looks really beautiful on this screenshot.

I saw one of my favorite pets so far. When i first saw it, i thought it was a PC with a really cool outfit. Than i found out it was only a pet. It still looks great.

I stumbled over my first concert in WoW. It was a funny moment. They played some kind of heavy metal.

I have witnessed on of my first real RP conversation in WoW. I'm playing on a RP-Server with Valrjan. The guild is called Cloudbreakers (Wolkenbrecher in German), and consists mainly of Goblins. They are pirates and all kind of crazy things. They can be found here: http://diealdor.wikia.com/wiki/Die_Wolkenbrecher. It was a really cool moment for me. Didnt know RP is really happening in this game. There are so many restrictions from the engine. I will see if i manage to play RP some day in WoW. I am allready working on stories for Valrjan and my twink Rím. She is a goblin restro shaman. More about here in the next weekly.

I discoverd the Outlands this week. Its a magical place. I dont really like it. Its a bit to creepy for my taste. I feel a bit lost when i go there. Its my least favorite continent. 

In week three i got level 60 and with it my first flying mount. I got level 60 in three weeks. Some people manage to get to level 90 in a bit more than two days. Anyway i heard that in the past people need a year to get to level 60! Why would you want to do that? I think its really good they changed the game in this aspect. Anywhy flying through Azeroth is awesome. 

And than i had that great idea. I can fly now right? Lets fly to Stormwind. And so i did. I had to discover that Stormwind didnt only have good ground guards but also flying mount guards who could one shot me. It was a short journey. But worth it. I was there and i have proof. 

 This is my Troll of the Week. I think i will post a Troll of the Week every Week form now. I really love Trolls (Read my Weekly no.2 to find out why).

Week no.2

The second week was allready the last week of me playing Brewstomp. I really like Pandaren and i really like monks. They are a very fun class to play. Specially because you can switch between all three fighting roles.

But i wanted to play my Troll Shaman Valrjan again. I played for one month two years ago. It was a good transition too, because i level Brewstomp to level 45 and than switched to the Troll who was level 46. 

I really have a favor for Trolls. The main reason behind this is covered with the next picture.

A stone giant. But thats not really what i see here. The reason i like Trolls so much is bind to the story why i startet to play World of Warcraft. I startet to play of World of Warcraft because I had no Dota 2 Beta key. Since the International 1 back in 2011 i got really into the Lore and the Characters of Dota. My favorite Heros where the Witch Doctor (Vol'jin in Dota 1) and Shadow Shaman (Rhasta in Dota 1). I played a bit of Dota 1 with all the original Warcraft III Models. But than i switched to World of Warcraft. I startet to play a Troll shaman. I wanted to be that Shadow Shaman and journey to Azeroth. Thats how i started playing WoW. So as you maybe can see, this Stone Giant is not only a Stone Giant for me. It is Tiny a strength Hero of the Sentinel (or the Radiant as it is called now). And thats a thing which is still working for me. Almost every week i stumble upon a Hero of Dota in World of Warcraft, which feels something like meeting these heros in real live.

With that being said, i choose this shaman Trolls for my NPC of the Week. He can be found near the echo islands.

Thats a really cool looking goblin with an awesome pet. 

Beautiful.

What can i say. I really like bears. Thats Valrjan discovering Silvermoon City.

Good luck have fun

Week no.1

In my first week of WoW, i was leveling with a pandaren Monk called Brewstomp on a growdy PvP Server.

The first thing i did, when i came to Orgrimmar was to take a flight to Thunderbluff to see its beautiful landscape again.

Thunderbluff is the capital city of the Tauren and Baine Bloodhoof is their current High Chieftain.

It is a pitty that i cant remember where i found this genious poster. I really like it (Poster of the Week).

For my favorite PC i choose this Troll for my Week no.1.

Finaly i choose a picture which would be good for that "What happend..." game. Can you guys come up with a story for this picture?

Good luck have fun
