I am doing homework right now. I am very tired. I went to bed around midnight and made myself get up around 6.
I was stupid and didn't do my homework over the weekend. I definitely should have. In a way it was worth it because I had a LOT of fun. I leveled my priestess on Stormrage from 44-47.
I saw Miss Congeniality 1 and 2 this weekend. 2 was just a really horrible movie although it had some funny moments. I don't really think I was expecting anything different though, haha! Also over the weekend Jared and Brian came over for a little while. We played some puzzle games on our Nintendo DS's together and then Shadows of Camelot. Shadows of Camelot said "Haha Caitlin, I know you have never lost one of these, well EAT THIS!" and we proceeded to have the most pessmistically horrible Shadows of Camelot game ever. While we were trying to do the grail quest almost every single progression of evil card we got was, of course, bad for the grail. We got a few normal ones and of course Desolation. Left that area because it seemed hopeless, blah blah, then eventually went back. (Note that after I left the grail quest, we had almost NO cards that messed up the grail quest.) Had some really good progress, and then I got a clairvoyance card. OK let's check it out :)
It spelled doom for us. Two morgan cards, one which read "1 knight loses 3 life, or every knight loses 1 each". At the time Jared only had 2 hp and every else only had 1. D: One morgan card had one person throw out 3 white cards. One card was (of course!) desolation, AGAIN. There was another horrible one that I forget, and a black knight one. We survived the worst Morgan card because Jared ended up healing himself at some point. Then soon after Jared got a card that forbade Merlin cards. Eventually we got to a point where we had 2 catapults to die, and then we got a picts/saxons card, and of course both of them on the board had 3/4. We lost :( However we should have lost already by then, because we had already gotten a card that would have ended the game and kind of shoved them to the bottom of the pile :P (another one that would have caused every knight to die except one).
So I conclude that Shadows of Camelot is impossible without a lot of people! :P And with bad shuffling.
As stupid as it is, I still haven't finished Uldaman. I tried it three times. I got to the boss two of those times and did multiple attempts. Never once have killed him on my priest. Although I know that I'm the common demoninator in all failed attempts I have been in, I have a hard time seeing it as my fault. I've always been complimented on my healing, and the problem during the bosses isn't really other people dying - it's ME dying. As soon as he spawns the two elites, the warrior starts to have a lot of trouble keeping all 3 of them on him/her. Eventually the two elites migrate over to me, and when that happens there's no way I can keep up healing the warrior and myself. I run out of mana healing myself, die, and then we wipe around 11%. It's really really annoying, and pathetic. :( I want to try it sometime with a backup healer.
Another problem is I've never had a perfect good-level group. Someone is always too low :( Yesterday it was a mage, so it wasn't a big deal... the time before when I got to the boss, the warrior was 1 level too low, which was a big deal, although we could have gotten it if our mage didn't disconnect right when we pulled the boss for the first time (they never came back). The 2nd time I went we didn't get to the boss, and the problem was our warrior had no idea how to tank. Eventually I whispered him and asked him (nicely) if he could please switch to defensive stance so he could use taunt. He said he would try to keep enemies off me, but never switched stances. I'm beginning to think he may not have HAD defensive stance x_o Anyway, that's the "bad" part of my weekend.
The reason I said it was worth it almost is I made quite a few friends on the server over the weekend. Some I made through PvP (good old Warsong Gulch, now I have a pretty cool mage friend that I enjoy PvP and PvE with, as well as a lot of fun WSG with a solid group) and others through just regular instancing. I did Maraudon at level 46 (leveled during that to 47). It was a REALLY good group. It was myself, a 52 warrior, a 50 paladin, 48 or 49 warlock, and 47 rogue. We did really well with few deaths (the paladin died a couple of times during the slimes which I felt bad about, I forgot how hard those things hit) and then... (dun dun dun) it was Princess time. We wiped twice on her (got to use the soulstone once so it wasn't too bad), and then ran back. Our warlock was getting a lot of aggro for some reason, and no one really knew why. Anyway we tried again, the warlock ended up dying (again) because I ended up being forced to make the choice between healing the warlock or healing the warrior. Eventually the fight got to the point where I was completely out of mana (really didn't have enough mana to last the fight when our DPS classes were so low level they were having some difficulty hitting her without resists or missing). All I really got to do was wait forever until I had enough mana, and just barely keep him alive with flash heal and pw: shield. Our paladin was doing his best as well but was also almost out of mana... then... nooo!! The warrior died at 5%. Princess instantly turned around and killed me incredibly quickly. The paladin leapt in, and he and the rogue just barely killed her... it was really awesome though and exciting :) All of the members there added each other to friends lists. It was really just all around fun :D The paladin kept fake flirting with me too (in game just typing /flirt). It was funny because I did /no at him and the warlock nearby was like "RE-JECTED!" I also got very attached to the warlock's imp, whom I happily nicknamed Impy :) Impy kept dying and it was sad!
The next day I was invited to Maraudon again by the same warrior, and I died when the Princess was about 2%. No other healer that time, I thought I did well :D But I was scared that we couldn't continue the instance because I didn't have my staff of celebras to teleport to the middle of the instance, and we hadn't cleared any of it. Tinkerer, our 55 gnome mage, spoke up and said he had jumper cables.
Me: I hope they work D:
Him: Don't worry, water makes them work better :D
Me: Psh, sure... :P
But then they did work ^_^ First time I ever actually saw cables work on me, the first time they did work on me was when our rogue in Uldaman attempt #1 used them after an almost-wipe.
