Steady Hands

by

I have sent multitudes of players to the graveyard without succumbing to death myself…

I have been an All-Star in both Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley…

I have repeatedly braved the field of battle with the strength and cunning of an invincible Ironman…

I have slain consecutive opponents in the battle arena – – without mercy and without defeat…

Nearly 100,000 horde foes have fallen to my arrows, bullets and big red pet…

But for the life of me… I cannot disarm five f***king Seaforium Charges in one f***king SotA battle. 😡

Apart from Stromtrooper and Resilient Victory, which I figure are just a matter of time since I’ve been very close with both, Steady Hands is pretty much the only BG achievement standing between me and Battlemaster.

Honestly… I thought Ironman was tough, but Steady Hands is just flat-out nonsense. I’d read somewhere that it used to be you could disarm the charges from the turret platforms, which obviously was poor design on Blizz’s part. However, I wished I’d have known then what I know now. 🙁 I could have taken the easy road…

A couple things

by

First off, my trip up to Oregon the other weekend was a blast. The drive was brutal (especially on the return home), but it was a great trip. I saw a lot of friends I hadn’t seen in… well, too long. I may have sampled a few dozen tasty micro-brews while I was up there as well… 🙄 I’ve been …

Alterac Valley All-Star

by

I’ve never been so glad to see a Death Knight in a BG, that’s for sure. 🙂

Alterac Valley All-Star

That achievement I recently earned is one of the more frustrating BG achievements in the game. The necessary steps aren’t overly difficult, however, trying to get them all done in time requires some hustle and a little luck.

Since trying for this one over the past week, I managed three times to get 4/5 during the span of the game. Regardless of which task I still had yet to complete, I could never finish in time. The other night it went like clockwork though… well, aside from the part where I was riding around in the Field of Strife, waiting for what seemed like an eternity, for a soon-to-be-victim.

Now the time is here…

by

For Ironma-a-an to Spread Fear No more threatening to put my fist through my pretty imac display… I could have taken it easy on myself and queued with some guildies, but eh… what fun is that..? Achievements such as this must be earned. 😉 Man, I love PvP. It may be frustrating as hell at times, but the victories are …

So I fell off the wagon

by

Alcohol Abuse…the WoW sabbatical wagon, that is.

The other day I was commenting on my 2 week absence from Azeroth and how nice it was to divert that time and attention to other things. Well… last night I couldn’t resist the urge to queue for some arena matches. I mean, after all… I didn’t want my partner to start worrying about me. 😉

It’s funny just how long two short weeks can be in WoW time. It took me two matches to remember I was MM, and another two to remember where all my skills were. BM is hard coded into 4 1/2 years of WoW muscle memory, but MM is not. 😉
