Wow geeks, TLPD, camping while working.
 

I've basically been cured of my wow habit, but I still occasionally log in and go for a rip through some instances with some old friends.

What I have been doing though is logging in throughout the middle of the night and camping rare spawns, most predominantly the Time Lost Proto Drake. Well about 3 weeks ago (after 4-5 months of camping (always tabbed out working) I finally got mine.

2 nights ago, I logged the wife in and myself and camped him, sure as shit, on her first night there he flies by. I've gotta be the only guy in the world to kill this thing twice on the live servers. If not, I'm still pumped.

I want that mount in my life :<

How high up does he fly?

going to wait him out but don't want to be too high or too low

where did you camp him?

This "game" looks like a full time job. Good for you anyway Jdoughs whatever floats your boat =]

carebear game

Actually camping him kept me awake and working many times as I knew his time was up and coming, so Id sit there for a few extra hours writing updates, or laying out new projects.

Crazy to think, but I'll most likely do it for my other characters now just to have that extra reason to stay awake for 2 more hours and work more.

Winters here, what the hell.

Haha oh yeah also in response.

They didn't name him 'Time Lost Proto Drake' for nothing. :winkwink:

You should write a blog on how you motivate yourself with WOW, it would probably help a lot of people. Probably more than the swine flu sh0t.

Don't try to beat around the fact that you're a loser that plays wow :uhoh

one of the most useless/boring/idiotic games on the planet :uhoh

Posting on this forum telling everyone that I play isn't really beating around the bush, but thanks for posting.

11 million+ people worldwide disagree with you, troll.

You gotta be fucking kidding me....


It's exactly because it is a useless/loser/skillless/piece of crap game that so many clowns like it...

It's brilliant, but evil.....

What do you think is going to net the most money??? An awesome game with an extreme amount of competition that requires actual skill?

Or a useless point and click fantasy that can appeal to little kids, older adults, and everyone else without a life that just wants to prance around a fairy land?

Bottom line is the game is horrid.... but from a business standpoint it's great

Quitting WoW was one of the best choices I ever made. That game is pure evil if you're competitive by nature.

WOW has actually been both of these types of game. It used to be a game where all the character classes were very different and all had their strengths and weaknesses. When the level cap was 60 if you wanted epic level gear you had to get in a raiding guild and raid the high level instances all the time. Even then you weren't promised your gear and it could take months just to get one good piece of gear. You had to know your character and how to best face creatures, bosses and other players with it. The bosses took real strategy and practice to kill.

The problem was most people didn't have that kind of time to commit to the game. The high level raids could easily take 6-8 hours to complete and you would run then a few times a week. It was a part time job. So people started getting to level 60 and then quitting the game. So when they expanded it they made getting that high level gear easier and there were now a few different ways you could go about getting it. When they put out the second expansion they not only made it easier still, but they made the raids short and able to be done with just about any group. So casual players could now do them and get epic gear.

they also changed the characters. It uses to be that only a few characters could stun another player, now just about all of them do. It used to be that only a few characters could do area effect damage, now most of them do. There are fewer and fewer differences between the character classes, especially the damage dealers.

It now takes a lot less skill and strategy to play. The old school players bitch, but many millions like the system because they can play periodically and still get to see all the content and get good stuff, but it is kind of mindless.

Oh. . . and yes, I am a nerd :)

You've clearly never played. I've been a gamer for my entire life. I've been a MMO nerd since the Everquest days. Wow can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels. There is something for everyone to enjoy. You can quest alone, raid, group pvp, world pvp, arenas, etc. I personally don't raid. Scripted encounters bore me. I love pvp. Go get a copy.

I can't argue with that. I am very competitive but fortunately life keeps me from spending more than a few hours a week playing. Every week I have time for a few battlegrounds, wintergrasp and whatever world event may be going on at the time. If I didn't have responsibilities and obligations I could easily spend several hours a day playing.

nice sig Stardust lmao So Fucking Banned http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=924162
