I recently stumbled upon a movie trailer made in WoW about other movies such as Titanic, Terminator 3, Pirates of the Caribbean etc. It’s really funny and looks pretty professional too. I hope it’s not just a trailer but will become a movie sooner or later.
By the way: I’m gonna fly to China tomorrow and after that I’ll be moving to another apartment, so it might take a while before I updated this blog (… again, I know 
).
Just like Slave Pens the level 63-65 instance Underbog heavily reminds me about Blackfathom Deeps. Underbog is right next to Slave Pens in the Steamvaults, so that might be the reason for the resemblance ;-). This time we had a level 70 Night Elf warrior with us who just couldn’t seem to live with the fact that I stole his agro all the time… even though I was the group’s tank :P. He kept attacking the mobs before me or just attacked the ones I wasn’t tanking at the moment. Well, I guess this is something like: “my penis is bigger than yours” or something… I don’t know :D. Anyway, I still loved it and wanna thank all (except this weird little warrior) for this fantastic run again!
The second zone in the Outland is called Zangarmarsh and has the level 60-64. Perhaps it’s just me but it really reminds me of Star Wars’ Dagobah… just without Yoda ;-). Also there are some mobs walking around which have a pretty close resemblance to those Walkers in Half Life 2. You can see them in the video at about 1:20. I liked the zone but was more anxious to finally get to the zones afterwards, Terokkar Forest and Nagrand.
I know it’s been a while but don’t forget: it’s summer time :-)! Therefore I won’t be playing WoW that much anymore and even worse: I won’t have that much time to update my blog anymore ;-). But be rest assured, I’m still alive and I still love my tank Hekthor :P.
This time I wanna show you the level 62-64 instance Slave Pens in Zangarmarsh in the Outland. I really love this instance because of it’s similarity to Blackfathom Deeps. I like it if things look a bit “organic” and alive… if you know what I mean :-). Unfortunately my group could have been better for this run. We had a level 70 guy with us who constantly tried to steal the show and who didn’t quite stick to the “rules of engagement” ;-). For that reason the whole instance got a bit hectic sometimes and I really had to fight to keep the aggression on my side (as seen at Omen… I’m always the red bar). At the last boss (Quagmirran) the level 70 dude kept giving me strange suggestions/orders on how to tank him best. Well, it was my first time in this instance so I naturally listened to him. The result can be seen in the video :-). I moved him back and forth all the time while chatting with this guy to finally give me clear directions :-). What also really pissed me off was the fact that I’ve been in this instance for AT LEAST 15 times without getting the drop Bogstrok Scale Cloak from the second boss (Rokmar the Crackler). It’s such a great cloak for a tank and at the very first run a druid in my group got it instead. From there on I never had the drop again :-(.
The level 61-63 instance Blood Furnace is a pretty cool one actually. Unfortunately I had some dorks with me again, which diminished my sense of fun and teamplay somewhat. Especially the level 70 Paladin got on my nerves. From the beginning on two friends of mine and I made clear that I was gonna tank and that we just needed some damage dealers. He wasn’t really a damage dealer but with his level 70 equipment we thought he should do fine… and he really wanted to join us. Kind as we are we invited him along… mistake! As can be seen in the video he constantly advanced before me or tried to tank the mobs off me. Well we did it anyway and had - apart for this idiot - quite fun with this instance.
Now it’s time for some bigger mobs from Hellfire Peninsula. Enjoy!
So I finally finished my last quest in Hellfire Peninsula to get busy with Zangarmarsh. But before that I wanna show you some more scenes out of my time in the first zone in the Outland. This video gives you a short glimpse of the most interesting “normal” mobs there.
It’s been quite some time since my last instance and god knows I missed the feeling of fighting dozens of aggressive mobs and big bosses who were slamming with all their might at me :-)! The level 60-62 instance Hellfire Ramparts in Hellfire Peninsula was quite a shock to me in the beginning. Perhaps I was just not used to doing instances anymore or perhaps my party wasn’t the best out there or perhaps my equipment and my stamina wasn’t the greatest but I’m rather the opinion that those mobs were simply a lot harder than in any other instance I’ve done before. The first time I attempted completing Ramparts I died like six or seven times, four times at the last boss alone :P. In the video you can see that I defended my group-mates to my last breath… literally because I died together with him ;-). Even though the instance itself is quite small, it’s a pretty cool one which I highly recommend to anyone new to the Outland!
In a very funny quest in Hellfire Peninsula (HFP) someone asks you to recover a key he’s lost. Well, actually he hasn’t really lost it, it was rather eaten by one of his pets. I’m pretty sure you can imagine already what you gotta do in order to get to this key :-). Kill as many boars as needed to feed the pet with their meat and to force it to do its “business” :P. Once that is done look for the key inside its “leavings”. Good luck :-)!
