Juuno’s Corner

Hello CAW Darlings!  I'm sorry but Mom & I didn't get to play this past weekend, and darn hockey is blaring in the house as well, so I didn't manage to get an audio done for you this week.  <=(  BUT...I did get an email and a couple of screen shots from Pixie, so that's good!  =D  Here's her email:


"Hi ya Aprillian, Ashayo, Tedra, and whichever awesome co-host you have with you this week! And even though I know our Jeppy hasn't made it back, a big hello to him as well! :)  We're so happy your feeling much better, we all have missed you so much!  I hope everyone is having a great time in game as well as out of the game this week! :)


Been a busy past week for me in the game, had lots of fun and got to talk to some of my favroite peeps! Juuno & I didn't get to play Sunday, my fault this time as I did a little running around town and then watched movies with my boys.  Tommy bought me the Breaking Dawn part two so we watched that, told Speedracer if he said one thing during the movie I would have him grounded for a year... lol! And by that I meant no PS3 or computer, TV and he would have to wash walls...it worked! That boy can not shut his mouth for one second...he's got something to say about everything. Oh and it's a great movie.... much better than the last one!!


Anyway, on the game this past week Pixie got her farm all done, then went on holliday!  She only comes out if her sisters need a potion or two, plus to take care of her garden. But now that 5.2 is here it's back to work she goes! And she is on her first part of the new farm duties, and her home is now Sunsong Ranch!


My mage is finally holding her own so I guess she gets to live a little longer; she has Willopelt to thank for that. It's really hard soloing with her but I took Willopelt's advice and it's working. She is almost exalterated with the Klaxxi and only dies now maybe once or twice a day... lol.

Phenelope is doing really good and I am very proud of her; she is now exalerated with the Klaxxi. She's also doing dailies in the Vale, and she reached revered with them last night, so maybe today the rest will open up.  I can't wait to start the Shado Pan dailies.


Now here's a shout out to Kara... she made me a Ghost Iron Dragonling!  It's awesome! I almost died the first time watching the little dragon... he shoots lighting!!  So very cool!  She also made me a new shoulder enchant for Phenelope which brought my intellect up to over 9000. With the extra buffs from potions and food she reaches well over 10,000 plus, I think thats good right?
Donnie, Kara and I did Arena of Annihilation!  It was alot of fun.  We did it once before with Willopelt and got the dragon staff for my mage. I forgot about stage 3 at first (the guy who does all the fire damage), then it was too late to warn Kara.... I'm sorry! :(   But all went well and we got new weapons. Hoping she'll go with us again... maybe into dungeons.


Sweet Leeta... it was so very nice talking to you on the game last night...I guess I'll have to stay up late more often! I'm hoping maybe someday I'll get to give you hugs in person!  A trip to Aussie would be nice & yes, Juuno, you can come too! :)


Well thats been my week in the game.  An awesome learning week full of fun! So for the horde, the alliance & the wonderful people in my life :)

Pixiegirl

BIG hugs & kisses!

PS Waited all day for the patch and now it's up and I'm soooooo excited!!! Have fun :)
PPS Screenshots are the before and after shots of the shack!"





Okay, my CAW Darlings, I promise I'll have an audio for you next week!  I hope everyone's doing GREAT and that we ALL get to hang out at Blizzcon!!!  C'mon Pixie, C'mon Aprillian!  Wooooot about Ashayo, Donnie, Molson, Slainte and Strumpet going!  And also Twitter friend Terrence! I can hardly wait!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

Love you!!!

Great big hugs & kisses!

Juuno & Pixiegirl of Korialstrasz and Earthen Ring

Hello to everyone at Ctrl-Alt-WoW!

First, some music info: yes, Big G was correct that my last audio was Pink's "Glitter in the Air." If you want to see an amazing performance of this, do a YouTube search for Pink Glitter in the Air Grammy Performance.

My previous audio, the stressful one, was "Politics Polka," by Tina and the B-Side Movement. I used another of their songs, "Shine Your Light," for my Lunar Festival submission.

Back to the game. Since my last submission I did get my original toon, Rogueslayer, to 90. Since she's Alliance (human rogue), that gave me Double Agent, along with Terrific Trio. Woot! I've attached a screenshot of that event. As usual after I get an alt to level cap, I then jump around from toon to toon. Darkmoon Faire is here, so of course I'm doing lots of profession dailies with lots of alts.

In this week's audio, Voltandra provides some answers to a question I'm sure we've all heard. Enjoy!

Necro

Hello CaW friends, Aprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy, and Tedra and whom ever might be this weeks special guest.

I'm afraid there will be no Nekro audio this week as I've come over quite sick these past few days. Not sure what caused it though I have my suspicions it might have been that dead Worgen priest I cannibalized in a battleground Monday evening. I guess my old mum was right, never eat things you find on the ground.

My new toons are coming along nicely. Rumplekuss, the Goblin Rogue is now level 13. Rootagaga, the Troll Druid is now level 11 and Tinlock the Ironman is level 13.

For some reason I'm really going crazy with new toons, I even rolled a Warlock Gnome to be my new alliance side Ironman toon. His name is Nekrognome and he's currently level 5.

Thats all the news from the house on the hill this week. Big hugs and Many thanks for your wonderful podcast we do enjoy being a part of the ctrlaltwow family.

and remember undead love is forever….

PS

we slipped you a little donation wile you were sleeping <3

Hey CAW Crew!

Thought I give you an update and maybe some complete sentences.

Got my Rogue up to 89.5 and I think I will stop there. Rogues are worthless. That's all I have to say about that.

Been doing a lot of dual boxing while running guild mates through ICC 5-mans for gear, so that we can get the Ulduar achievement (Herald of the Titans).

Got yet another toon to max level fishing and hope to have another Giant Sewer Rat soon.

I hope you are all having a blast!

Please say hello to the chat room.

Best,

Salty Sláinte

FOR THE HOLY PALADINS

P.S. A Big 'Thank You' to Ashayo for turning down a chance to defeat Elegon. We missed you mate.

P.P.S. JEPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys

It’s been a fun time in and out of game for Mel and I. I think the most fun thing we did this week was with the "The House of the Undead " ie Mr Nekro since Mrs Nekro was not available . We were online and 42 had just hit 90 and Mel was at 89.9999, perhaps a bubble to go when we spotted in General Chat a call for a group to kill the Sha of Anger. We joined and they needed many more - we checked in Clan of Darkness and Mr Nekro was on. We whisper him and ask him to come along. He was worried about not being good enough and so on but we encouraged him and we all joined in. Shock and Horror!!!!! Alliance had actually tagged the Sha before us! There was much PVP flagging on our raid’s side, to try and “accidentally” become targeted by the Alliance AOE attacks, but they were wise to that trick. We had to stand by the side and watch them agonisingly slowly grind the Sha down. The raid spread out to every known Sha point – without Mel who could not yet fly and had to rely on the kindness of others for transportation. The Sha sulked for a few minutes but then was back up

It was On!!! Or was it – we were too spread out over the whole zone and anxiously waiting for the group to re- assemble before the Alliance got there in numbers

Finally after a lot of faff-ing around we eventually start and we wipe. Talk about anti-climactic Lol. The group reforms and after a few minutes the Sha tumbles to the earth dead. The three of us loot the body and get the quest for the boots. Poor Mel was still not 90 so she could not start the quest although she had looted the item.

It was wonderful to see Mr Nekro in his shiny new purple boots

Cheers all

42

PS Mel made it to 90 later that night, so now we can start doing dailies Yeeeeaaaaahhhh :-)

Hail JATA hope all are well and Jeppy is back soon. Been an up and

down couple of months with WoW for me.

I started a ten man team at the beginning of January <Heroes of

Canton>. We did great out of the gate but then lost some people and

have been rebuilding since.

I'm good at analyzing boss, researching and developing strats as well

as teaching the fights. What I stink at is recruiting and keeping all

the people organized. It's hard for me to concentrate when I've got

7-8 whisper conversations going on at once.

Originally I formed the team to raid with 4 other AIE folks I know but

they have all dropped out for various reasons.

So I'm spending 6 hours a week with some nice people that I didn't

know 6 weeks ago. We are building a good group and once the roster

firms up we'll be able to keep up with progression. Currently we are

4 of 6 bosses down in Mugo'Sha Vaults and 1 of 6 bosses down in Heart

of Fear. We hope to get the last two bosses down in MSV before 5.2.

For full week last month I was in San Francisco on business. The

hotel internet had terrible lag so all I could do was dailies. I was

waking up at 4AM each morning so I took that time to finish all the

Pandaria Rep grinds. The Kite mount you get as a reward is currently

my favorite mount.

The final quest for the Kalaxi, Golden Lotus and Dominance Offensive

are very good and worth working toward. The final series for the

Dominance Offensive is as good as or better than the Wrath Gate event.

With the rep grind done on my main I finally felt I had the time to

level an alt. I love playing my Blood DK, Dureau. He would have been

my main but I like having the option to heal so I chose the Pally.

Leveling went fast. With each Ding I skipped ahead to the highest

level quest available. At 89 I started the Kalaxi. I was revered and

50% to exalted when I hit 90. I think I only died twice from 85 to

90. Blood DK's do a ton of self healing and put out a good amount of

DPS.

The night I dinged I went over to the Dominance Offensive and blew

through the cave set of dailies in quest greens and blues. After a

few nights of grinding heroics I got his iLevel up high enough for

raid finder and tanked MSF. I am making sure to cap his valor each

week. When 5.2 hits and the valor cost drop for 5.0 and 5.1 gear his

iLevel will almost be as good as my Palidyn's.

I have enjoyed all the guest host but I'm ready to have Jeppy back.

When he tweeted that he was home on Saturday it made my day.

Suffer Well!
