New WWS

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

We were blazing through Kara on par for probably our quickest run and we ended up having to bail due to some RL stuff.

I’ve posted my WWS log here: http://wowwebstats.com/yurk4dldz3kpo

It’s a different account from the one that Sukiko runs that is linked in the sidebar.

We are a seriously-casual raiding guild.

We have Kara down to a slightly less than 4-hour clear.

And I do this:

Venture Into SSC

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Last night I was asked by Katex Nox et al. to come to SSC. We downed
Hydross but couldn’t get Lurker down before we called it. We’re about
to give it another shot, but I wanted to update the site with some
screenies.

Buffing up for the fight...

We also made some attempts at lurker…

On the second of three attempts we got him to less than 1%, or just under 30k health before we wiped. Tonight he will go down for sure >:]

Blast From The Past

Check out the names in the party. I’m level 15 in this screenshot.

Some Macros

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Tonight I came up with another macro to help further streamline my UI and wanted to share.

I’m going through the change from x-perl to Pitbull and so far it’s going REALLY well. Pitbull isn’t as memory intensive as it was a year ago (or whenever it was that I was playing around with it), and the interface for customizing is MUCH better than x-perl. It takes a LOT of tweaking and working with to get the hang of what things mean and what they refer to, but after playing around with it for a while you’ll get the hang of it and it’ll be really handy. Anyway, I also use Bartender3 for my bars. I really only use Bartender for the hotkeys, and to hide Blizzard’s bars, but I’ve always had a few slots up for things like Healthstones, Bandages, Soul Shards, etc. These took up a FEW slots - but now I can get rid of them with this macro:

/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage('You have '.
.GetItemCount("Master Healthstone")..' \1244healthstone,:healthstones,; '.
.GetItemCount("Soul Shard")..' \1244shard,:shards,; '.
.GetItemCount("Heavy Netherweave Bandage")..' \1244bandage.:bandages.;')

Important! If you want to use the macro, make sure it’s all on one line! Basically, it just prints counts of what I have in my bags, according to the item name. I made a macro, put the macro on a Bartender bar, bound a key, and now at the press of Shift-Q (Q for ‘query’ hehe) I can get a report on things that I need. It would be neat to integrate this into FuBar somehow, but I would have to read up on how to do something like that.

Also, for our private channel, I use this:

/chatwho [channel name]

Where [channel name] is the name of our channel (changed for some semblance of privacy). I dropped that on a bar, bound a key, and now right when I log on, I can know who from the guild (or is basically in the guild) is on. The guild roster is unreliable due to alts not being allowed in the guild, and we have friends that are not in the guild technically, but have seen the entirety of their raiding experience with us ;)
