AV Weekend Wrap-Up and "Dr. Phil"

trptscott — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:39:44 GMT

So AV weekend has come and gone. It was a good weekend... despite the "boycott" that apparently has been taking place on the part of the Alliance. 35-minute queues, 20-minute game, 600 honor. And in between, I'm constantly getting rocked by premade EotS and AB teams. Racked up about 30k honor from my weekend of playing.

Those of you on Horde side, did you notice any of the following?

1) On Thursday/Friday, the whole Alliance team would zerg to the FW RH cap it, cap towers, and burn Drek. Since Horde doesn't usually play much D, this worked for a while. Horde spent most of their time name-calling and bitching instead of adjusting.

2) By Saturday morning the Horde are playing some D and the games slow down a bit. Some Alliance still try to zerg RH, but there aren't enough to make it a quick kill.

3) By Sunday evening, the initial Alliance O push is thwarted, the game collapses, and its almost like the old days with Alliance rolling backwards as Horde push right on into Drek.

So rack up the AV bonus honor I did. Unfortunately, my 3v3 was not so successful. We were up and down throughout the weekend. Almost 100 games played and only a 1568 rating. I'd say that's a fair indicator the team chemistry isn't there. Especially since we all sit above 300+ resilience. There's no doubt in my mind that some team combos just don't work. Not to mention the 400g I spent on respecs throughout the weekend to try and "spark" some competitive play. I think I'lll give the PMR setup a try. Rumor has it those teams are pretty successful. Now to find a good mage.

And the final item on today's rant, WoW and your significant other... hence the "Dr. Phil" tag in my subject line. My significant other is just not accepting of my WoW addiction. And let's face it, I don't do WoW in moderation. Those of us who raid know that *** never gets done on time... ever. In the past, I just chugged along and kept working with the team until the job was done. Nowadays, the GF is asking "when will you be done?" I say 30 minutes, some tard Warlock wipes us, and it's another hour gone by.

So my question to DQ readers... what types of arrangements do you have with your significant other when it comes to WoW? And no, she isn't going to play the game... ever. :-(
