Patch Day Blues

Posted by Miriella on 14 November 2007

Patch 2.3 live!

 Whoop-dee-friggin’-do.  Every time there’s a friggin’ patch, I always suffer.  And yesterday was no different.  And it seems I was the only sucker with addon problems.  Nobody else in the guild was having issues! 

I have the pleasure of working until 9pm every Tuesdays (my weekly required night shift), so I don’t have the luxury of the entire day to fix everything.

This is what I logged into last night:

And no, I had those default toolbars all turned off (after checking and double checking) so I have no idea why there were so many layers of toolbars around.  So I whined and cried and then I just went ahead and repaired and started from scratch with the stupid addons.  I was planning on taking lunch today to reorganize fubar and such, but I logged in just in time to see the server go down for a 2 hour maintenance.  Convenient!

I’m supposed to heal Kara tonight (my first official full run ever!), so hopefully I can get everything organized in time.  Paranoia is already setting in…and there’s SIX melee going tonight!  Two fury warriors, a retadin, two tanking warriors, and a rogue.  I have enough trouble in five mans trying to keep two melee alive, heaven help us all tonight.  And poor Loth.  Every time he’s been grouped with me healing, he always dies at least once per instance.  It’s so bizarre.  I think it’s the pressure of attempting to heal well in a group with your fiance and then failing miserably.  And on top of it, he’s the only one to die.  No brownie points there.

Lessee.  Fishing on the Springroll is now up to 315 – and they just added a thingo where Mr. Pinchy himself no longer despawns.  So I’m contemplating whether or not to keep fishing on Springroll and get her own Mr. Pinchy first, or re-fish on Miriella so she gets a perma-Pinchy…

More later.  My IT guy is kicking me off my own computer.  *wave*

[...] Posted by Miriella on March 25, 2008 Huzzah!  Two 20-page papers and a 9 page final exam complete, and I’m free from the deathly grasps of my master’s degree….for a week.  My weeklong reprieve could not possibly come at a better moment, for today, World of Warcraft’s Patch 2.4 arrives today!  I’ll go ahead and assume that the servers won’t even be up until around 8 server, if we’re lucky, and then it’ll take me til about midnight server to get all the add-ons straightened out, which is usually a complete disaster after every patch.  (See prior 2.3 patch fiasco.)
