So much for Thursday maintenance<\/em><\/strong>
\nLooks like we’re back to the same ole thing. All servers are down. battle.net is down. Everything’s down(even stuff not related to WoW). Guess it’s time to recap what has been happening while waiting for everything to come back up at or near 2pm EDT. Four hours to go.<\/p>\n

I’m nearly done endgame questing as Beefhunter. Got all quests in Dread Wastes. Was pretty much done there and was about to head back home when I saw a quest giver up in Townlong Steppes. Flew up there and discovered it was a quest to do the Horde side of The Thunder King solo scenario series. Thought “maybe I’ll get more gear this way” and went with it. <\/p>\n

All solo scenarios were pretty much the same as I did them as Benie on the Alliance side, except for one major thing; the last to final one which involves killing trolls when in the air, I got that on the first try! I’ve never been able to do that as Benie. Took me several to get it. And Beef got it on the first try. That is quite impressive for a Tauren who’s barely geared for WoD. \ud83d\ude42 He can out-DPS me. It also feels sad, since Benie is my main.<\/p>\n

Friends with Terlarer<\/em><\/strong>
\nRewinding the clock, I was almost done with all Klaxxi quests in the Dread Wastes. And rewinding even further, I asked Heol if Terlarer still plays. I assume he quit. Says he still does and was on a day ago. So I asked him to let me know when he’s on. And he finally did a few hours later, and I hopped on Benie.
\nI got his battle.net ID and ‘talked’ to him about what I went through in the Timeless Isle. He said he’s sorry he never told me those chests were a one time only deal. \ud83d\ude1b He said that I should gamble(as in, talking to the hozen in the cave, giving him 500 timeless coins for a key and testing my luck with one of the chests in the cave) and do LFRs if I really want better gear.
\nI might. But I’m going to try to take the easy road out by having my Monk(once I learn how to play as a Level 90 Monk again) get to the Timeless Isle and see if they can find any Mail pieces that Beef needs. There’s also those Burdens of Eternity that can boost a token up to a 525 item level to make it even more powerful.
\nIf my Monk can find any of those, I’ll get them to use it. Hopefully they can use them and still send them to Beef.<\/p>\n

Another birthday present<\/em><\/strong>
\nFast forward, completed the solo scenario quests to the point I’m told to “muster a small army”.. aka Raid, to take down The Thunder King. Not going to happen. To be honest, I wish it was that easy to “muster a small army”. To be all “Attention! I require a small army to take down The Thunder King! Who’s with me?”, and they will<\/strong> join and won’t<\/strong> pick on my gear and use racist slurs to lower my morale, and actually focus on killing<\/strong>! And I’m talking about AI players. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

I pondered what I should do. Started killing random things, then had a Level 90 Elite Devilsaur trying to eat me. It managed to kill me via an acid cone. But I did redeem myself by staying out of it.
\nAs I was killing it, I wondered that when it respawns, if I should tame it and call it ‘Bigbiter’. Decided for it and when I saw it show up again, I dismissed Lilbiter, my raptor, and attempted. Unfortunately, I was unable to.
\nChecked the Petopia for any hope of getting one this color, and it showed one close to my position, yet I never saw it. Read up and said it’s a random spawn that shows up to attack the Shado-Pan Offensive group, and how one would have to camp for a long time.<\/p>\n

I waited for a good 10 minutes, sitting on a rock near where they were fighting. Finally, I saw one and ran over to it as quick as I could. A few seconds as I was taming it, it got attacked by one of the NPCs. And no matter my efforts, I couldn’t tame it.<\/p>\n

I then had to wait 45 minutes, constantly seeing other random things spawning. Around 1:12 in the morning, I finally saw the Devilsaur spawn and grabbed it ASAP. Now I have one, and I named it Bigbiter. Another nice early birthday present. Sadly, I cannot use it due to maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
