UI Quest: Staying on Target

Posted on March 27, 2010 by Gazimoff

Continuing in my series of UI customisation, I wanted to spend some time focusing on what most people call unit frames. These small boxes display how much health and power (mana, rage, energy or runic power) you have, along with a bar to show you how much is remaining. They also do the same for…

Amusing the Muse

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Gazimoff

About a week ago Windsoar from Jaded Alt was celebrating six months of Warcraft blogging. In order to celebrate hitting this milestone she offered herself as a muse to anyone who asked. While I’m still new to this myself I thought that it would be fun to try, expecting something related to magecraft. Unexpectedly, the…

Battling the Burnout

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Gazimoff

Last night’s raiding was fantastic. We had a bit of silliness and fun, but we cleared up to (and including) Festergut, leaving the rest of the week clear for progression work. I also picked up Abracadaver, with the additional hit and haste making that transition to a Fire spec more possible if the numbers stack…

Patch 3.3.3: Twisted Firestarter?

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Gazimoff

For us over in Europe tomorrow is Patch Day, while those players in the US are already downloading, installing and waiting for servers to come back online. Regardless, the theorycrafters have been out in force, pouring over every talent change and glyph update. But while some classes get some interesting updates, the changes for mages…

The Crutches, They Do Nothing!

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Gazimoff

Over the last few days I’ve been raiding slightly more than usual. I’ve been back into Icecrown a couple more times, where it feels that we’re around the Festergut-Rotface level of progression. I’ve also been back to ToC10 in order to pick up more badges and test out my new UI. It’s been a pretty…

Standing in Awe

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Gazimoff

There’s an old saying that we experience entertainment with all of our senses. We might watch in amazement at a breathtaking movie, or rock out with a CD from our favourite artists. We might enjoy the smell of a rich cup of coffee or a freshly baked loaf of bread, or savour the taste of…

UI Quest: Mashing the Buttons

Posted on March 20, 2010 by Gazimoff

For the first step in rebuilding my UI, I’m going to concentrate on what I think is the second most important part: the buttons. These colourful icons are usually laid out like strips of candy, just waiting for you try one. What I’m going to try and do is make them more useful, ensuring that…

The Annoyance of Addons

Posted on March 19, 2010 by Gazimoff

Once you play Warcraft for any length of time, you end up using addons. These small pieces of software are designed to make them game better, either by presenting new information or showing existing stuff in a clearer way. But just as using some of them can enhance your performance, using them badly can be…

So You’re a Roleplayer?

Posted on March 18, 2010 by Gazimoff

There’s already been a huge amount of coverage about taking your first steps into roleplaying. Some of it’s come from players describing their experiences of being on a roleplayer for the first time. Others have tried to provide advice and guidance to help players get started. If you haven’t read them already, this list should…

Care For Some Cheese With Your Whine?

Posted on March 17, 2010 by Gazimoff

Since this is National Whine On Your Blog Day, I’m going to confront the amorphous entity known as Mage Hate head-on. There’s this general feeling I get sometimes that players think mages are scum. Yes we have our ongoing rivalry with Warlocks, but this feeling goes beyond it. It’s like the rest of the Warcraft-playing…
