I’ve put work on the W2TS on both maps, on hiatus until I get a video showing how the Detector blocks of Railcraft work. Which should be tomorrow.
There’s a video of how to get the new Minecart Dispensers work as a.. somewhat of an automated station. But I’m sure with some tweaking using that design, I can get it to work. Trouble is, making it work with existing stations.
Anyway, I asked the author of the video if he could make me a video showing the Detector blocks, of how they work. He said to look for it Tuesday (estimated. It could take longer).
Since my RPing friend went to bed early yesterday, I decided to do what I haven’t done in months; play WoW the way it’s supposed to be played by doing dungeons and shit. So that’s what I did. First thing was dealing with the changes to Winter Veil this year. Greatfather Winter is still in IF, but the infamous quest “You’re a Mean One…” is now a daily. The Greench (now named “The Abominable Greench”) has been upgraded to a heavy-hitting Elite boss that requires a “group” to kill.
But the fact he’s untagged, you don’t have to group or queue up. He still hits like a truck. His location hasn’t been modified too. But except from stealing Christmas, he’s also stealing Metzen the Reindeer. Yeah, he’s taken over for the terrorists.
The reason they made the quest a daily, is after you turn it in you get a present. It has a rare chance of having a lump of coal. A pet named “Lumpy”, similar to Pebble. You also get Justice points as if he was a dungeon boss. You also have a chance at other things. Some shitty, some not so shitty, and one that can give you another achievement.
After that and a Tempest Keep run, I went to work at End Time. Starting the run was a complete mess, as the group kept wiping when they shouldn’t of, and people blaming eachother. But, we finally pulled it off.
The next day (today), we did Well of Eternity. Using what I’ve learned from the PTR, there were no deaths of mine. It was still fun and I managed to complete quests I didn’t before, on the PTR.
Finally, I did Hour of Twilight. The one escorting Thrall to Wyrmrest Temple. It was actually quite fun. We past that barricade I was talking about before. And I was right that Thrall knocks it down. Then I saw him.. Deathwing, flying around Wyrmrest. Fortunately he was too busy with other things to “play” with us.
Soon we finally got to the temple’s “portal room”, and had to defeat the final boss. Who was easier than I thought. Hell, the entire fight, no one wiped. Not bad for my first time. And I saw all the portals where disabled. Going by an RP standpoint, I assume the aspects shut the portals down to prevent Deathwing from entering.
With this done, and another quest, Mr.robot told me it was time to upgrade my gear again using the new 4.3 stuff. I managed to get two new pieces of gear. A new belt, and a new primary ring.
I was also capped on Justice Points. 4000 is the cap. So, going back to SW and to the Justice Quartermaster, I noticed not only is there less stuff available, but the Lightning-Charged gear set is gone. I assume replaced with this new Flamewalker set. Apparently they made Firelands gear accessible with Justice Points now. This, is great for me.
Getting the new gear will definitely give me something to do, and increase my chances to do the Dragon Soul raid (or at least allow me to solo dungeons better).
