We've been busy. On the PvE front we've been owning it up, having completed both Upper BRS and Stratholme. Not much to say about Stratholme really, it's an interesting instance with a lot of character to it. Here's a couple of screenshots, nothing too exciting though!

Stratholme Zigguraut | The Baron, Defeated!


Onto Blackrock Spire. I loved Depths, I loved farming Depths... and believe me... we farmed Depths. Spire though? Fuck this dungeon. It's not the instance itself, it actually grows on you. I love the layout and the encounters. What I hate is the poorly designed key quest for entry into Upper. First you need to get a seal to start the quest which seems to be a 1/500 drop, perhaps more. From the second this instance opened we were there killing and killing. It took us over a week to get a seal. Now we have to gather three gems from three bosses, one being at the very end of the lower dungeon. Fine, no problem. We were very fortunate and got the third gem on our second shot, the other two though? LoL. Farm, farm, farm... from noon to night we were there killing those bosses over and over with nothing to show for it (Keystone ninja'd a ton of shit, so much for the fucking 1105th time is a charm). After an additional week of farming (and no 2nd seal to show for it, are you shitting me?) we finally got our gems. Anyway with little issues at all we conquered Upper Spire with a small crew of 10, then 8. Enjoy some pictures!

Don't mock me for the slackage those pictures imply. I don't usually take SS on encounters until I have 5 combos. :p So yeah, we bested UBS, lots of fun too. I could give you all of the details but it's been said and done many times before. On to bigger and better things, right?

PvP! That's where we are, that's where we'll be. I love WoW PvP, it's fast and fun, only downside is no real penalty or reward at the moment. The hot spot for activity has been and still is Hillsbrad. No, it's not a bunch of L60s ganking L20s, there are some really impressive fights that take place there. The rivalry between factions is always something that makes me smile. People remember each other from fight to fight, but it's all in good fun, right? Enjoy the shots, hats off to Horde for making it fun!

Oh, and gotta give a nice big salute to Robee too. Even after I let that Remorseless Cold Blood Ambush into him he still puts up a fight... and you say Rogues are overpowered!



That's all I have for now... well, that and this little gem!
