Hope The Statue of Liberty never does this...

Actually, yes, I do hope it does this because that would be pretty cool. Today I got my 1st opportunity to fight the colossus who is the world boss of lotd/

Unlocked by killing the 8th boss of tovl so I believe.  Frankly, I do not have much to say about this boss because my time with it was short and painful.  I got to the boss with about 11 minutes left on the timer and it consisted of beating up his hand then attempting to run up his arm and to his neck.  There were also swirling whirlwings (Which I now hate dearly) and his fist of pwnage which hit me for 9000, i'm lucky I survived.

I gotta say, the whole concept is cool, but the gameplay of it isn't.

Well, thats it guys. I missed so much stuff, I was frantically typing this whole time.

Remember they are not exact quotes, but breakdowns from what I heard.

That's What She Said

Steve Carell leaving the Office?

So, I heard that Steve Carell may leave The Office after next season. That being said. That sucks

The past few days on gorfang I have seen a huge increase in destro zergs, somehow, I'm seeing some destro 40s delete their chars and transfer to order because they think that destro will rule the world someday. Although I do not see this happening until WP/DoK are nerfed (Hint Hint), I do see happiness in destro's future and a more equal server. What does this have to do with Steve Carell leaving The Office you may ask? Well... Absolutely nothing. But, in order to link the two, I offer you with this Screenshot while waiting for a flip.

Destro steppin'it uuuupp?

Today I saw a rage in destro I've never seen before (At least.. a rage in the game and not on the forums). And man were we angrily taking praag. We saw the order zerg runnin' towards us in the Middle BO and we ran after them and smashed it plus the skirmish of blood gave us the VP to flip the zone. Then we ran in to the WC in celebration.



I mean, HOLY CRAP! Look how far I got in the WC we had so much, was searching frantically for the mailbox, we all were. If we could get that number again and have everyone just run mindlessly into the WC. We would wipe that $h!t off the map! Even though I got crappy renown through that, it was the funnest I've ever had in an oRvR warband.

Props to the Order that came out. Destro too.

New Spec Of Chosen

The RDPS spec.

Today in IC I was examining everyone because... I can and I was waiting for SCs.

Well I examine a rank 35 chosen and as I'm mousing over his gear, WTFOMGBBQSAUCE He has a balistics talisman in his shoulders. I'm not sure what he was aiming for here but maybe he's on to something.
Chosen throwing axe spec, the future of Warhammer. "BAH" you say? Well. Probably. But lets keep an eye on him.

Orange Red Orange Red. RERROW!

Look! My Lizard Pooped out a midget!

Just kidding! During stage 2 of todays seige. I was sitting outside the sitting thinking, "Jeezus I am bored, what to do" Then all of the sudden a whole bunch of order comes around the corner!! It was fun for the 15 minutes it lasted, Then I went to go try to flip somewhere.

Apology.

Mythic's apology that is...

For those of you who haven't read it. (It's on the herald) They've promised anyone who was overcharged a 100% renown/exp bonus for 2 weeks (If I remember right) Then we have some token to spend at a vendor for.

A Manticore (Or Griffin for order)
Bottomless Skull White Dye
Bottomless Chaos Black Dye
and a few other things.

I think that the free token stuff is the stupidest thing ever. I'd be ok with just the 100%. Dye prices will drop, And the so called 'EPIC' mounts will no longer be epic as every single living (or non-living) soul now has one.

Personally I think that Mythic should have just stuck with teh 100%, if they needed to add more then they coulda made it last 2 months instead of weeks, or they could have made it 200% instead of 100%.

But, I know after the 2 weeks ends, I will smash a renown wall and roll another alt most likely.
