The Queue: Getting along

I’m so glad the cats in my garrison are getting along with each other. It makes life much easier; when my cats at home don’t get along with each other, they chase each other all over the apartment and inevitably end up scratching some wooden furniture or destroying something important.

Not that I mind that either. It’s hella cute. Usually these fights can be instigated by putting a small amount of catnip out for them to haggle over.

Be right back.

Do it.

Don’t worry about what the people in the groups will say, just ignore all the unhelpful advice. Yes, you’re going to wipe, and yes, you’re probably going to get kicked and told to quit the game. Such is the nature of the little %!@#s that poison the PUG well. When they appear, just ignore them. Since you’re already asking about learning, it’s safe to assume you’ll actually be focused on learning things, which means you’ll pick it up faster than if you were just bumming around as a tank.

Soon enough you’ll get less and less QQ from the kiddies, and you’ll be fine. I’m going to be doing this on my warrior soon, and in a sadistic way I’m looking forward to hearing the kids scream as I wipe their precious LFR group.

You haven’t done this a hundred times already? THE NERVE!

I’m actually not very sure why Blizzard didn’t put in some sort of rep boost like they did with Mists. That makes a crazy ton of sense, and it seems like it’s a missing feature at this point.

One of the big problems with reputations in general, at least that I’ve always had, is that they’re not bound to the whole account. It makes for a good game if they’re something that can be worked on across multiple characters and earned over time, rather than trying to grind out mostly pointless numbers on each alt that’s needed. Is that really something that’s necessary, or could it be reformed into something more meaningful that’s spread over the entire account?

Perhaps this is a discussion for another post, but I feel the next great step in WoW‘s evolution will be to make reps account wide, and eliminate most “power up” rewards; ie: make the rewards from reputations be entirely cosmetic or supplementary.

I have no idea about that show. Is that a show I should watch? Convince me, dear Queue.

As far as to why I’m up so damn early, it’s because after my job reshuffling and everything, I’ve found that 5am is a very good time to get work done. 5am to about 10am is my most productive hours of the day, when it’s just me, coffee, and my cats.

Maybe. Is this something a lot of people want? Obviously I can’t promise anything, and I have some feelings against it, but I’m not strongly decided either way.

Note: I haven’t talked to Alex about this. So consider this question just research.

Yup! Agreed.
