![]() I died an awful lot yesterday, and spent probably as much time running back to my corpse as I did actively questing. That is absolutely an option I will consider, but yesterday I absolutely was not competent enough to be responsible for the lives of anyone other than myself… and at times even that part was questionable. The goal is to level as fast as possible, and I guess in theory I could simply just do the dungeon queue as a tank and be done with it. Ultimately my goal is not to experience the quest content, because I have already done that several other times. Doing this ends up with me in a mishmash of gear, and a bunch of abandoned quests, but seems to also be the fastest possible way to churn through the content. So in my case that would be 94 for Talador, 96 for Spires of Arak and 98 for Nagrand. After the initial leveling in Draenor I have followed the pattern of swapping zones every time the game prompted me that the next one was available. I like finishing in Nagrand because gear wise I end up in a fair better position than if I grind the hell out of Spires of Arak. Over the course of the weekend I took him from 94 to 98 and am now starting Nagrand, where I hope to finish up. Since I finally can fly around, I have been focusing for a bit on trying to push up some of my post 90 characters on Argent Dawn and my highest of those is Exeter my original Alliance Paladin. I know it is in my nature to feel let down after finally getting something, and I am trying really hard to not let Draenor Pathfinder be that way as well. ![]() and lost interest after finally getting it. In the past many of the times when I have left a game it was because I completed some big item that I was grinding my ass off to achieve…. The problem with a big goal is once I accomplish it, I end up floundering for a bit trying to find something else to focus my attention on. This is the truth with most of our family, they know that facebook isn’t working but are of little to no help to actually diagnose over the phone as to why that is the case. The problem also being that she cannot differentiate between telling us something is wrong with her laptop and the software itself and her internet connection. Basically it shouldn’t be working at all, and it is by sheer dumb luck that you can pick up a wifi signal from that sort of distance. The problem is since she doesn’t really know how technology works, it is hard to explain why her internet connection sometimes works fine and other times not at all. It was my hope that either we would put in wifi at our RV eventually, or set up a network of signal boosters to piggyback the signal across. ![]() The problem being that there is roughly a half football field of distance between her house and the nieces house, and our RV pad is smack dab in the middle. This is perfectly find mind you, it is not like she was war driving one day and hijacked a wifi signal. ![]() What I mean by that is that she does not pay for internet at her house, but instead piggy backs off the wifi of her grand neice. The ultimate problem is… that she has no internet connection. A computer requires significantly less interaction than a human being, and that was ultimately what I was banking on. I did the normal gamut of fiddling… checking her antivirus to make sure it was up to date, and patching as much as I could with windows update. However on the second shutdown and restart everything went normally, and as a result I busied myself staring at its screen for the remainder of her visit. Sure enough the first time it attempted to boot, it hung after login. The small wonder however was the fact that she brought her laptop for me to look at because it wasn’t working. I tried desperately to keep up with the conversation, ultimately failing. This was doubly awkward since we were having our last “christmas” event of the year with my mom-in-law coming over. As a result I pretty much sleep walked through yesterday, and found myself generally staring in the direction of things rather than actually participating. As I said yesterday morning, we set an alarm in an attempt to force ourselves to shift vaguely in the direction of a schedule. I am hoping through that yesterday I ultimately went through the worst. It is Monday morning after my week and some change holiday break, and I have to tell you… the struggle to exist in the world is real.
