No Progress...Denied!

Typical, you spend all day looking forward to spanking a brand new encounter in the game and what happens? Along comes a bug that messes everything up. It seems that Covenant were foiled by a very rare bug in the Raid ID that meant that only one or two people were saved to the correct instance after downing Maulgar. Those who weren't there could also get in, but more that half of the raid (myself included) either went into a dungeon with full respawn (including Maulgar) or were told that we weren't saved to the in instance and got booted. After a fruitless hour long wait for a fable GM response we gave up and did other things.

So the Curse of Covenant continues, with nefarious and eldritch powers giving the bosses another respite. Every single time we have faced off against the main boss of a place this has happened. Hakkar in ZG, Ragnaros in MC, Nefarion in BWL and Ossirian in AQ20 all glitched in some way or the server threw a wobbler making attempts impossible. Now Gruul has obviously joined the cartel and is mocking us from the other side of the maintenance break; I swear they do it on purpose.

Patch of the Day

Now that patch day is upon us, we finally get the rest of the content we were supposed to get in January, plus a few extra tweaks to the game in general. I am sitting here thinking happy thoughts at all the Karazhan gear I have that is going to be improved and how much more damage I'm going to be able to do with that and the changes to glancing blows AND the fact that I'm going to get Imp. Sap for free now and all the other gubbins...then I realise one thing. It's a Wednesday...23rd May...I'm sure that there's something else going on tonight...something more important than squeezing out a couple of extra DPS (if such a thing is possible). Yes folks the patch can wait until later for me, I'll be at home but my heart with be in Athens. Here's looking at number 6 :)

When you walk through a storm,
Hold you head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
