Red Proto-Drake
by Zasp
Patch was yesterday, which is sweet….other then Wintergrasp going “uhh I crash servers!”
We did manage to get our Red Proto-Drakes though, and I can’t express how awesome they are. Awesome enough that I sat around for about an hour just running and flying around in circles. Expect a screenshot of the team at somepoint, I wasn’t in the middle so I couldn’t get a good one.
And I know some people will be, “AMG You didn’t do it pre-nerf they shouldn’t count!!!!!!1oneohone!!!”
And to those people – you’ll always have when you actually earned the achievement to rub in people’s faces. We simply didn’t want to have to switch our team around to play the Random Number game, because as far as I know thats what the Gotta Go! achievement was pre-nerf. I never read anything different.
I think the Gotta Go! timer definetly needed to be adjusted, and very happy that it was. Even with the nerf, it’s not like I’ve seen a billion people on my server running around with the drakes, so I’m not too worried that they nerfed them too far.
Nyisa continues to spend gold like I can somehow make it back. I dropped the gold for the new Ring of Kirin Tor which was a good investment till Ulduar comes out.
In other news, I’ve gone and started another alt and it’s been consuming most of my playtime lately. If you have extra badges to spend and want an alt I’d highly recommend the Heirloom Items. No Durabilty is win and the 10% extra experiance on the shoulders has been adding up.
Level 41 and counting…
Other than that, nothing really exciting has happened over the week. In fact, I’m running back to my Shaman as soon as I post this. I’m leveling as Elemental and having a blast.

Switching people around in your guild is always a bad thing.

The Gotta Go timer needed adjusting, but 4 minutes is a fucking joke. It’s gone from being the primary gatekeeper of Glory of the Hero to being one of the gimme’s alongside Lockdown, What the Eck, Oh Novos, and Shatter Resistant.
There are still some challenging achievements in the mix (The whole batch of Oculus ones, the other two in Azjol, Less-rabi, etc.), but none were anywhere near as hard as even a 2:30 Gotta Go would have been for most groups – 3 minutes would have been quite fair I think.
4, you can get by accident.

Big Gratz!

Grats on the thing you wanted to do.
I can relate. Back in TBC we had gotten Kil’jaeden down to 24%. I remember it because it is one of those numbers and moments that get burned into your brain while you calm down from *almost* getting ‘there’, but instead you are just looking at your corpse again. So, my Sunwell achievement is the date of the Big Patch Nerf of ‘08 (or whatever day we raided first after the patch). We were slightly bummed about being so close and having to deal with everything that went into being an end game guild at the end of TBC only to not get that little feather of “I got KJ pre nerf” in our caps. We got over it, and no one ever says a thing about it.
So grats to you in gaining your achievement in the way you wanted to do it, and eff off to anyone who who gives you crap about it. Just ask them how they did on pre-nerf Muru.
