World of Warcraft: How to Make Dailies Efficient and Fun
It’s a given that most people hate the dailies. Blizzard obviously will not be changing course at this point in time with dailies so you might as well get used to them. However, you can do things to make dailies less painful and even fun to a degree. The key is organization and psychology. What…

World of Warcraft: How I’m Spending Valor Points
Right now, we’re into patch 5.1. Not a particularly great patch as we’re anticipating 5.2, which is going to have a new raid, more world bosses and yet even more daily quests. The big thing to keep in mind with patch 5.2 coming up is that LFR will require ilvl 486 gear. For those doing…

World of Warcraft: Clearing Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring
Tonight was my first time clearing part 2 for the LFR version of Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. Since my job had wound down, I finally decided to get back into putting effort into my Paladin and make some progress into the game. Matter of fact, I did 4 of the LFRs…

World of Warcraft: Questing Design Failure
I made an attempt to take my hunter for a bit of leveling. Almost immediately, I gave up after getting my hunter to the nearby town in the first area. I felt overwhelmed knowing full well the long grind that could take a few days just to finish up the area. I’ve felt that way…

World of Warcraft: Change Dailies to Weeklies
I made a suggestion on the forums that World of Warcraft should change the vast majority of key dailies into weekly quests. I felt that the problem at the moment is that you lose too much by not completing every single daily if you do not login for a day. For a lot of casual…

World of Warcraft: How Dailies Burnt Me Out
For the past two weeks, I’ve neglected to do my dailies in World of Warcraft. In fact, I’ve barely logged on to do anything. The most I’ll do is LFR and the Sha of Anger. Outside of that, I’ve found the game to have become really boring because the content and progression have primarily become…

Mist of Pandaria Initial Thoughts
My paladin is now at level 90 and I’ve been working on my druid as my next alt in line (mostly because I need an herbalist). My paladin has done the main quest lines and is now rep grinding with various factions while I’ve been working little by little on my alts’ professions. The leveling…

World of Warcraft: Where Cross Realm Zones Shines
Prior to Cross Realm Zones, Blizzard had implemented a system that allowed players between realms to group with each other in some raids and instances using their Battle.net ID (and now tags). So the other day my friend invited me to an ICC 25 man raid. I was summoned into the instance. At one point,…

World of Warcraft: Cross Realm Zones, the Clusterfuck
Patch 5.0.4 went into a effect two weeks ago and already patch 5.0.5 is scheduled for tomorrow. Part of it ought to address the clusterfuck called Cross Realm Zones (or CRZ). As always, Blizzard completely underestimated their gaming community when implementing CRZ and it’s become a gigantic mess. I won’t go into details about why…

World of Warcraft: Give it to the Community
The latest patch demonstrates the problems with an online game like World of Warcraft. The main problem is that the game forces you to upgrade, whether you want to or not. If you don’t buy the latest expansion, you’ll be screwed because you’ll be behind. And if you do not want to partake in the…
