Kurn’s Sunday (Monday) Brain Dump 19

Kurn / / blogging, patches, professions, ramblings

Don’t have much time to write today, it’s been a long one for me. Eesh.

Topic 1: Hardcore.

I wanted to share that I died on hardcore at 36.

Here’s the short:

And here’s the whole thing:

Basically, I was dumb.

I will probably reroll again. But not right now. Why?

Topic 2: Patch 12.1.0

Because it’s time to make money again! Season 2 starts tomorrow and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to pull in somewhere around 40-50k tomorrow alone.

I’m also aiming to get characters actually levelled up in this patch. I’ve got Kurn, Madrana, my mage and my druid all at 90. Next up is my shaman, then my grandbaby paladin, I think. Maybe. I dunno.

And it’s gonna be about time to really start outfitting everyone with decent profession gear, too.

Topic 3: BlizzCon

Is it really less than a month ’till BlizzCon? Huh, September 12-13. I guess so. Looking forward to learning more about Classic Plus and such things. Is digital attendance free? I can’t seem to figure that out.

What are you up to this week?

Kurn’s Sunday (Monday) Brain Dump 18

Kurn / / blogging, classic, ramblings

Well, I got to playing a bit of Hardcore this week. I managed to escape two moments where I was surely going to die within about five minutes of one another.

And I made a short of the big moment where I was about to eat it.

And then, last night, I did more stuff, including dinging 36.

I’m mostly doing the hardcore stuff because I’m bored on retail. I know the patch comes out like tomorrow, so that’s good, but I do enjoy the immersion of hardcore. And the challenge of it. I just hadn’t touched it in something like ohhhhhhhhhhh two years! hahaha! So I’ll probably do more of that while I attempt to make all the monies in retail.

Have you tried hardcore? What’s your highest level and what class was it? 36 pally is definitely mine. My brother got a mage to 51 and died and was very, very sad (and mad) about it.

If you haven’t tried hardcore, is there any particular reason why not? I’d be interested to know.

Kurn’s Sunday (Monday) Brain Dump 17

Kurn / / blogging, dungeons, healing, ramblings

Not too much to talk about this week. Spent all of Monday out with my littlest nephew and am absolutely wiped out.

But, over the weekend, I did do 5 BC Timewalking dungeons on Madrana, so you might enjoy looking at that! I had one tank I thought of as “good”, one was “okay” and the others were, IMHO, bad.

What BC dungeons do you like?
