Which should be tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a video of how to get the new Minecart Dispensers work as a.. somewhat of an automated station. But I&#8217;m sure with some tweaking using that design, I can get it to work. Trouble is, making it work with existing stations.<br \/>\nAnyway, 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).<\/p>\n<p>Since my RPing friend went to bed early yesterday, I decided to do what I haven&#8217;t done in months; play WoW the way it&#8217;s supposed to be played by doing dungeons and shit. So that&#8217;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 &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/quest=7043\" title=\"...mister Greench!\" target=\"_blank\">You&#8217;re a Mean One&#8230;<\/a>&#8221; is now a daily. The Greench (now named &#8220;The Abominable Greench&#8221;) has been upgraded to a heavy-hitting Elite boss that requires a &#8220;group&#8221; to kill.<br \/>\nBut the fact he&#8217;s untagged, you don&#8217;t have to group or queue up. He still hits like a truck. His location hasn&#8217;t been modified too. But except from stealing Christmas, he&#8217;s also stealing Metzen the Reindeer. Yeah, he&#8217;s taken over for the terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;Lumpy&#8221;, 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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t of, and people blaming eachother. But, we finally pulled it off. <\/p>\n<p>The next day (today), we did Well of Eternity. Using what I&#8217;ve learned from the PTR, there were no deaths of mine. It was still fun and I managed to complete quests I didn&#8217;t before, on the PTR.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;play&#8221; with us.<br \/>\nSoon we finally got to the temple&#8217;s &#8220;portal room&#8221;, 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nI 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.<\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve put work on the W2TS on both maps, on hiatus until I get a video showing how the Detector blocks of Railcraft work.
