Bastion of Twilight, Betas and Transmog!

I've had a very full week.  I do know that it's Friday but when you consider that most of my playing these days seems to takes place on Saturday night and Sunday, that's pretty impressive.

I have already talked about my transmogging for Round 2 of Mog Madness so I'll not touch on that again.  That took up Sunday before raid and Monday after work.  Then on Tuesday, I tried to do some levels on my warrior but I think I ended up sitting around reading blogs.  I don't think I actually did anything but I know I felt like I was busy.

However, Wednesday was AWESOME!  I went on a heroic Bastion of Twilight run with my husband and a ton of people from Twitter.  It was spearheaded by Oestrus at The Stories of O, whom I've always liked due to her blog name.  I didn't say that.  Shh.  We got heroic Halfus Wrymbreaker down and then did a few tries on the Twins but ended up switching to normal and powering through so we could get down Heroic Cho'gal.  We spent some time pounding away at him and while we didn't manage to down him (THIS WEEK) we'll be heading back in next week to beat at him some more and then ... Sinestra!

Thanks Oestrus and all the Twitter peeps that went!!  Which are the following: @notfurioso @Hempia @Suzushiiro @Gastothetroph @BigPappa707 @gotowell & @tyben.  And my husband, who sucks and isn't on Twitter.

Then, last night a new round of beta invites were sent out and I managed to score one.  I started a download when I got home, but our connection is really bad right now due to the weather.  (We're in flood stage here again.  The area got 4+ inches of rain in 24 hours and it won't stop raining until Monday.)  I managed to finish the download today, got my druid copied over and then stared at the Panda creation screen until I had to leave for work.

I like the way they have changed the creation screen!  That looks awesome.  And that's my first impression of the beta.

As far as more transmog, I made my blood elf warrior a future transmog set.  It's pretty awesome.  I'll not post it, she has to go gather it first!!

Now, time to work in a office that has termites everywhere, a flooded parking lot, a waterfall outside my door and a toilet that's backed up.  Stupid slum-lord landlord!!

Continuing on ...

My guild still hasn't stepped foot into the Firelands raid.  Our raidleader (my dear husband) wants us to clear through the old content first so we can move forward better.

So last night we went to BoT and did okay.  We got to Ascendant Council and wiped on them for a while.  We were figuring it out however, so that's a bonus.  We actually got them to like 5% on our last wipe of the night.

Unfortunately, I ended up with a headache that came on about 20 minutes before raid ended.

I'm really enjoying raids again.  My name, Reluctant Raider, comes from the fact that I was NOT interested in raids when we started doing them back in BC.  I only did them because my best friends and husband wanted to.  Now, two expansions later, I'm getting into it and looking forward to raid night.  I'm hoping we bump it up to two nights a week so we can actually get some movement.

We 9 manned things yesterday as well.  Because our 10th was not available for raiding and we didn't feel like pugging it.  Ugh.  Stupid roster problems.

I've been doing my Hyjal dailies every day with my husband.  Even on days I don't want to, he drags me out there so we can do them together.  I hear it will take 33 days to unlock everything.  Ugh.  I guess that's not a long time, but seriously Blizz, driving me crazy!!

So, we're moving forward.  Slowly but moving forward.  Yay.
