Late June post

Let's start this one off with JANI!
This was such a huge relief to finish. I grinded so hard for this in the last month. I say a month because of the Nazjatar followers that takes 30 days. But really I've been slowly working on this achieve since it came out, chipping away at it little by little. 
Worth it! Jani is awesome. You turn into Jani and she holds your weapons. I've tried her with staves too. Yeah, just a ground mount but I still love it. I still like to run around Dornogal with her even though I get told that no one cares that I have this mount. I don't care, I'm super proud of this achievement and what it took me to get it. 
Next meta achieve I'm trying to complete is from Shadowlands. Back from the Beyond. I don't think I was really grinding for this one rather just doing achievements and it just so happened that majority of them was put towards this meta. Shadowlands is the last expansion I mostly played solo so doing them was easy. No one to bother me while I was doing my own shit I guess. around the mid of Dragonflight is when I found out about this meta and saw the mount and said "I NEEDS IT!"
then the grinding for the rest of the achieves came in. My last one on the list is I'd say RNG time gated. Quests that I need for these don't cycle properly so it's all a "maybe it'll pop this week" that's a whole lotta bulls**t. 
Switching back to Maldraxxus covenant is my last one I need. I'll give it another month maybe. I am a very patient person so it'll be fine. Alright, I ain't patient but I'll be fine.
Next, I caved and bought the Cata classic pack. Have I been playing classic... NO... am I going to now... most likely NOT... then why did I buy the upgrade?... Um Ragnaros mount, need I say more?
ok and a little Wrathion battle pet, but mainly the mount. 
Dastardly Duos was pretty neat. Truth and I went to do a couple one night and sad to say I've never been back. Wait speaking of never going back  into something, Visions! did it the first week Stormwind came out and same thing, I did a couple then stopped. I'm so terrible nowadays. What happened to all my collecting and grinding motivation, I don't even know. You 'd figure since I left the guild again, I don't have to worry about anything and I'd be more apt to do everything I enjoy doing. I blame other games at the moment.  

Well I did grind for this guy!
Captain Hooktail!!!!! New Timewalking mount that I think we were not supposed to get. Or maybe they changed up how to get it. In the past I thought we were supposed to run timewalking dungeons and maintain a buff for 4 weeks or something. I guess not this time. I saw someone on it already and said, I NEEDS IT!!!
Truth and I and a couple other people spam ran them and pop! achieve and mount YAY!!!!

And Finally.... I don't usually offer my thoughts on gameplay options, but I will on the one button rotation. Prior to its release I really don't know what I thought about it. It was a "whatever" addition to me. I was pretty sure I was going to try it but not use it. I am creature of habit and it takes me a long ass while to get used to things and when I do get used to it, I never like to deviate from it. One button rotation will never be used for my locks. On the other hand, rotation assistant will never be used on my Demo locks. But if I ever do try the other two specs on my alts, I'll figure it out myself or I will most likely turn to the rotation assistant.
One button rotation was just not for me. I am a clicker so you'd figure it would be perfect and easy. but I am also a keyboard mover. I rarely use my mouse to move and yeah yeah I've been told many times that it's not the most effective, but it's what I like so hush. Anywhos, so yeah I didn't run anything with using it, but I was at the target dummies. It doesn't work if you want to be effective in M+ It works if you're paying attention to what it's casting and you can use your abilities that isn't part of the one button options. For me I noticed it does not summon Tyrant, it does felguard but I usually I hold that for tyrant if I'm ok with the cd left, or I use him as an interrupt. I actually hold other things too now that I think about it. I found it defeating for me personally when I try hard to get good at something and then something is added that dumbs everything down and makes the clueless better at it then me. Ugh, well I've always said I was crap, so this kinda just proves it. I'm not bitter, just sad.
hang on a darn sec! Why the frick am I getting annoyed!? I did about 2.5mil better damage (err that I noticed but maybe I did more) NOT using the one button. I should be happy all my clicking and crinkly old lady fingers going a mile a minute did a better job then one lazy button. Maybe I was hoping for a better experience to give my fingers a rest? meh, creature of habit. So if you didn't gather my feeling on this, I don't like it. 
And here's another picture of Skully and Captain Hooktail sailing the the Isle of Dorn skies.
He's so cool!!!!

OK... OK Bye!

June post

It's June already?! What the heck! half the year is gone!
But anyways! Look! I'm actually getting out a post for the month, at the beginning of the month. Weird eh. I know!!!!
Starting off the month, Darkmoon faire, I know I always say I'ma go down there and fish up my fish heads, but It's been like 2 or 3 months already that I haven't gone... err, maybe I went but didn't get the 5 limit stack of each color like I usually like to do. eh, we shall see. 
Then on Reset day is the Dastardly Duos event. It goes for a month and a half and I've seen some videos on it (partially paying attention), but never really read up on it until tonight. Sounds like fun, and I'm excited about the goodies that's gonna come along with it. I'm not gonna explain it cuz I'm dumb so I'll just do the lazy way and put a link below:
Dastardly Duos - Wowhead
NEXT!
My Jani mount achievement progress has been moving along swimmingly. 
Aqua Team Murder Force is the last I need for the Undersea Usurper achieve, which might I add I get an Orange Crab mount! Friggen sweet! For that one you have to get the 3 followers to lvl 30 and I have 1 already there. 
I have 2 other alts handling the other 2 and they're both currently at lvl 21. that's the only timegated achieve I have left to complete this thing. 9 days baby!
and for the 2 achieves for Expedition Leader I just need to grind for the Azerite and pray to RNGezus to give me the Islands that I need the quests for Tell Me A Tale. It only requires 10 out of that list and I have 8. Truth came along with me for some island ques and helped me get 2 achieves for the Island Expedition portion tonight. He calculated for me how much runs I'll need for the Azerite. we get 12,000 per run. I needed 40 runs at the time. I just recalculated and I now need 24 more runs. Question is, am I gonna do it on Sunday and try for the new islands to pop for me for the quests. Or just go fish for my fishheads. decisions, decisions.
I was super excited for this bug guy I got from one of the islands. 1 of 9 mounts you can get. I really want the Surf Jelly. I love it when I get mounts and pets from stuff and I'm not even farming for it. To be honest I completely forgot the islands drop mounts. I'm so focused on getting my jani mount. maybe the next 24 runs I'll do my best to loot every chest, kill all the rares, and get rid of all the red X's on the map. I'm not gonna see which ones come from which Islands. I'll just go in there and kill and loot everything!!!
Today Elo gave me a new rare pet. 
Comes from the Siren Isle. Sells nicely on the AH. 
Hey now, ok, I did check the price on Hyjal but no matter how much this thing sold for I was NOT gonna sell it. I'm rich! I don't need gold mkay... JK I'm not rich, but for reals, I wasn't gonna sell it. I think he told me it was almost 100k on his server. Yikes!
And then I renamed him after his first owner Elo.

With Truth and Elo helping me lately I've jumped up to 16 on the Warcraft pets ranking. The other night Truth told me to give him 40 non rare cageable pets and he'd pop blue stones on them. WHAT?! he's too nice to me, I think I gave him 35. 
The last day of May comes with my Traders post check. 
I am friggen broke after this month. I literally have only 65 tender to my name. I haven't read or watched anything on what is coming but I hope it's all ass! cuz I will have nothing to buy stuff with. here's a pic of what I have in the "frozen item" slot. This back is 300 tender and unless something else comes along that catches my eye more, it might be in that slot for a long while. I'm not lying when I'd pay RL money to get more tender. hint hint Blizz.
I'll end this on a kind of meh note. I still love WoW, I still enjoy the game but I've been not really feeling like loggin in to my main. Aside from pet battles and achievement stuff I haven't been doing much. I will not have a vault again. I know what the problem is. I'm the type of person that doesn't like tension or uncomfortable situations, and that's how I feel in the guild at the moment. My current guild brings those feelings. When we have higher ranking people that don't run anything with the peasants because they know they're not very good or there's nothing in it for them makes me sad. When events are put up and no one wants to participate, I don't see the point in trying. When people ask questions and no one responds, kinda feels shitty. I'm sure they don't think anything about it, but with all the people online and no one says anything, not even a "hi" when someone says "hello" in gchat, I don't really see the point in being in there. I can do the same thing in my bank guild, or simply just being guildless. This is my problem, and this is why I like to play by myself. noone else to worry about. I've been told to just not pay attention to it. I can't, and I'm beyond the point of trying to fix things. I have one foot out the door... again.
Ahhh but this is just me venting a little. 
On a funny note, my June post was gonna be of Satisfactory and Palia the 2 games I've been playin a lot more as of late. I had screen shots and everything. I still might do that. :-)
ok, I'm done... OK BYE!
