My Rant

Orion Ryder

1/5/2012 3:44:00 PM

1. Darkmoon dailies only give a ticket. I am not complaining that it
is only one ticket. I am complaining that there is no XP or guild XP
granted rewarded.

2. Darkmiin dialies despite the above that I have ranted about count
as a daily toward the limit of 25 so if my wife does the Darkmoon
dailies with her two level 85s she can really only do 40 quests for
the day that will add to our Guild XP to our endeavor.

3. Deathwing has been killed way too fast even in the lowliest of
modes. Sort of anti climactic if you ask me. I remember that it seemed
such a workload to get through ICC to get to the Lich King.

4. The cost of the old world armor at the Darkmoon vendors is
ludicrously high. This means that if my son who is a pet collector and
would also like the mounts and also wants to get the armor so he can
transmogrify, he will have to do the Darkmoon Faire for about 3 years
to get everything that he wants. Okay maybe I exaggerate and it is
only 2 years. But still you get the point of my rant I am sure.

5. They limit the valors to 1000 per week whereas if you do 7 randoms
it adds up to 1050. I know this seems like a trivial complaint but
come on Blizz, do the math next time.

6. The only Darkmoon Fair daily that you can pretty much guarantee
getting with one coin used is the turtle toss, With good timing one
can get the cannon shot. But the other three seem mathematically
impossible or at the very least humanly impossible to do in one shot.
Well okay maybe if you are the only one whacking gnolls and the big
brown comes up several times that one can be done in one shot and I
almost did it but still that one can jsut barely cut it close. Okay
maybe if one is alone in the tonk corral and all the targets respawn
quick and close maybe one can get that one but I'm not holding my
breath praying for that one. The shooting - now that one can't be done
by a human in one coin use.

Ok all for now

Agree that that sucks; I don't farm dailies madly for guild exp but we
are pushing near to the 15 mins hearthstone perk now, so it'd be nice
if the dailies that I *am* doing every day on 2 characers actually
counted towards guild exp...!

I can agree on that, I like being able to blast through on LFR and get
to see everything easily, but to oneshot him the first week he was
available (2nd week of the patch) was a bit, hmm. Too easy. I'd hope
it's easier in other modes; there's not much to the fight on LFR
difficulty really, nuke tenacle, nuke claw, move onto next claw... ok.

Hehe I'm very glad that my priest (pet/mount collector) doesn't want
the transmog gear too; not really big on the priest sets. It's going
faster than I'd expected though, my shaman almost has her transmog set
complete now, legs (kilt), shoulders and gloves, my tabard hides my
chest for now, being a troll you can't see my feet under the kilt, I
always have head turned off and belt is minor enough to not care so
long as it doesn't clash. So my set's near enough done, I'll get the
chest next month and belt after that but I thought it'd take longer
untilI had it looking close to how I wanted. Pets and mounts will take
months for the lot though, my priest has two pets and won't get a 3rd
this month.

Or worse, LFR is 500 if you do both halves, 3 randoms is 450... so
your 4th random is only worth 50. I tend to not bother for that
little!

I've never got the shooting one but all the others I get in one at
least sometimes, the gnolls quite often end up all in one, tonks seems
utterly random (keep spamming it and running around and you get credit
even when it didn't shoot anything and no targets were near you! Crazy
:-P), I usually take 2 attempts on the cannon though. The shooting
one's impossible to do in one, so far as I can tell, I just can't get
enough quick shots off.

Erm, brain fart, of course I meant I'd hope it's *harder* in other
modes... :-P

The daily game quests do stink, in my opinion. If you do them,
you get a max of 35 Darkmoon Rewards per week, which is pathetic.

It's a trade-off, and I'd say it's not worth it if leveling the
guild is top priority.

Doesn't bother me. Top guilds will be top. If stuff is tuned hard
enough to really deeply challenge top guilds on normal
difficulty, it's too hard.

No, it takes a minimum of seven months. That's if you have a max
level character. Some blue post clarified that 145 Darkmoon
Rewards are possible each faire.

I never noticed that before.

I've completed Whack-A-Gnoll and Ring-Toss with one game token
multiple times. Ring-Toss is the only one I've gotten every
single time with one token.
.
I've landed on a perfect 5 points with the Cannon Shot just once
in probably 25 attempts, so that's very rare. It looks like
they've made it so you can't jump any more just after landing, so
scamming the position detector is probably no longer possible.

I agree that the Shooting Gallery is literally impossible, as far
as I can tell.

I've come very close with Tonk Controller. It's probably roughly
as rare as Cannon Shot, is my guess, since i've never managed
either.

It is very easy to just repeat games, so none of this is anywhere
near as frustrating as the torch tossing games. It feels wrong
for it to be literally impossible to coplete the quest in one
game. It also shouldn't be too easy, given the set-up. So that
means Shooting Gallery is broken, and probably so is Ring-Toss.

The majority of Darkmoon Prizes come from the wonderful
profession quests, and the sort-of-annoying collection quests. So
I suppose it's OK that the games aren't tuned perfectly.

I'm doing the two LFR halves, then heroic randoms till I cap valor.
After that, I'm running the Archbishop one repeatedly - I want the
healer plate shoulders. Once I get them (or the LFR shoulders), I'll
quit doing heroics past the valor cap.

I don't think I've ever finished one besides the turtle in one shot.
Just hitting Revered at this point.
Don't know if I'll continue once I get to Exalted 999/1000.

I am partially unranting one of the rants.

I discovered that the Replica armor is Bind on Equip. This means that
we can get the armor from our other toons who are only doing the
professions quests whenever they get enough tickets.

Dammit! Wish I'd noticed that one before, could've had my shaman fully
kitted out by now, doh! Oh well, at least it'll be handy for her last
2 parts :-P
