Wintergrasp Dailies going Weekly

Posted on: May 13th, 2009 by Kazark - 1 Comment »

Apparently Wintergrasp is too popular, so they’re making the daily quests into weekly quests in an effort to reduce the lag.

I’ve taken to playing Wintergrasp primarily for the fun of it. The advantages to me are 1) I know when it will start, i.e. no waiting for a group or queue, just the timer, 2) I know how long it will last (20 minutes max) and 3) it’s epic fun with mass numbers of people (well, mass numbers of alliance on our server).

The mass numbers of people is key. As a mage, I’m dead if anyone singles me out. The massive body count hides me well and I can AoE to my heart’s content. In Battlegrounds of 10 or so, I’m just a quick honor point. In Wintergrasp I’m a flaming death bomb. ;)

I don’t even have to wait for the portal for it to start, I can just fly into the zone in advance, regardless of who controls it. Wintergrasp is all about freedom from constraints.

Have a seat

While flying through Icecrown a while back, I found this doodad floating in the air.  It’s a circle of chairs in the air, which has since been removed.  I wasn’t able to click on or sit on them, but they were there and even got a name when they were moused over, “Doodad_GeneralChairLoEnd02″.
Seen any other weird bugs or things floating around?  Given the enormity of WoW, I’m surprised there isn’t more stuff like this.

Screenshot #6

Someone suggested on a WoW blog that we should grab screenshot #6 from our folder and blog about it.  So I checked and found this screenshot in my folder from June 24, 2005:

screenshot_062405_222312

It looks like one of Kazark’s early trips into Blackrock Spire, where some of the old Dogcows defeated The Beast.  I see Marvis there, and El Weirdo, Bish, Anna, Term, Dejah, Yethner, Dragonwarr and Stormtalon. A lot of them are still active in the guild <FortyTwo> while several are retired.  Kaz is wearing his Mooncloth Robe, so this is before he got his Big Blue Dress.

Amusingly enough, Kazark can now solo Blackrock Spire.
