In terms of in-game, I got my Frostsaber mount a few days ago, thus inspiring such comic. :) Some things were drawn badly and I really think I can pick up on that next Comic.
I don't think they will, but just stop and picture it. You've proberly heard of future genetic engineering in babies, being able to choose their eye color, imagine a WoW tainted by that.
Scary. Giving gear to the rich and repair bills to the poor.
Destruction Warlocks:
I feel so dirty. Any Destruction Warlock would of noticed the drop in DPS this patch. We now have less burst in PvP(which I thought was to balance the fact Melee slice through us like fog) and in terms of PvE-- well. Let me just say that I won't be seeing 5-6k DPS again for a while.
I think I reached about, 4k DPS last night, maximum, my average was 3k. That is pretty bad considering my gear is pretty good, a lot of it is from Ulduar so it should be more than that really.
I just need to practice. Then adjust, and practice some more.
Maybe I over-exagerated a little bit- I mean, I'm sure RP'ers don't go around crying every time they kill somebody in a BG (although, if any race that did it'd be Blood Elves....). What I'm trying to say is, I don't really know what happens on a RP server.
"Don't be silly Kromus, clearly they all talk like this;
Good sir, would you join me for a battle against the evil dragon Onxyia. Let us clear her foul strench from Azeroth with the power of 3 healers 5 powerful heroes and 2 brave knights!"
*Speaking of Onxyia, log in today for your Onxyia Whelpling pet celebrating WoW's 5th anniversary! Happy Anniversary WoW, <3*
But is it that ridiculous? and more importantly, why do we make fun of it so much? I've seen so many people say its for nerds, but frankly I disagree. As much as I love to pretend to RP by talking as ridiculous as the above paragraph, quite frankly I have no idea if that is what happens, because I've never been brave enough to step foot onto a RP server. Its on my to-do list of WoW, definitely. I think RP sounds very interesting. Its a more immersive approach, and I believe from what I've heard already, references to the outside world are forbidden (unless it cannot be avoided) which I think is a new game in itself thus fun.
Are you an active RP'er?:
Or have you had any experience at all? WoW or not, I'm really interested!
There are many things that WoW:Cataclysm promises to bring. One of those features is level cap raising to 85, of which I am a big supporter of as they can concentrate on other more important things such as balance and content. One of those things also happens to be flying mounts in Azeroth, woo!
But a factor just as big is the upcoming class/race combination extensions due to take place. The list includes;
-Human Hunter
-Orc Mage
-Night Elf Mage
-Blood Elf Warrior
-Dwarf Shaman
-Dwarf Mage
-Undead Hunter
-Tauren Paladin
-Tauren Priest
-Gnome Priest
-Troll Druid
Pretty cool, and really interesting. I've highlighted two combinations in particular that I will come back to, but the matter at hand is how much I wouldn't want to play those other combinations. Not because there rubbish, or because I don't like them, but because I've never really thought about it-- until now.
Now that the opportunity is here, it makes me think more about rolling classes/races, and it also makes me wish I had more character slots, I think Blizzard should definitely consider implementing more, maybe "1 extra slot per expansion owned". Over at The Pink Pigtail Inn both Larisa and Elnia were discussing the recent grants of choice given to us via the race/faction/server change option- here. When Reading this I fully understand why those massive amounts of new combinations were added. I like a certain pair of combinations in that list to, so its highly likely somebody somewhere will want to make one of the others. Its personal preference, and even if we don't really want it, its nice to know the choice is there.
Here is why their highlighted:
For some reason, I really- REALLY want to make a Tauren Paladin. It just appeals to me. My Human Paladin is great, but- dust is beginning to settle on him- cobwebs on his spells- he is disused. Tauren Paladin, however. HOLY COW! (there I said it), what a cool idea! Running around casting judgement on none bovine-like foes just gives me the kinda melee fun I want in a game.
Cover your ears, gnomes- I can't help it, but I just do not like the idea of playing as a Gnome. It almost scares me. I have no Gnome characters at all- I don't know why, Its too strange playing a serious damage dealing class but being all cute and cuddly. Its the perfect dream for my perfect nightmare....
However. Gnome Priest you say? Well, I might just make one. Woah, woah- woah. Wait a minute, Kromus-- you were just saying? and you don't like? What?-
I really like the idea of a Gnome Priest, it seems to make more sense. Healing and helping people seems much more of a Gnome trait(although of course Shadow spec will allow for the melting of faces) but besides that I like the idea. I may, or may not make a Gnome Priest when the time arrives, and I get more character slots.
Hope you liked the Comic!
Velen is very scary as a pumpkin:
If you enlarged the picture, you may or may not of noticed the number underneath the Dungeons and Draenei Logo. Maybe your asking yourselves this question;
"Is this Kromus getting all chronological with his comics?": Yes and No.
This is the first comic of the story I intend to tell within Dungeons and Draenei, and so you know for both new readers and archive purposes, the comics that tell the story have been numbered. Hooray!
What about all the little "funnies" I've been doing so far? They'll stay. You'll most likely see more of them than the main storyline,- but would be nice for you to see the story of Dungeons and Draenei, and enjoy the short comics I bring to you on a regular basis. Feeding all depths of our WoW Souls!
Hope you enjoy the latest comics- and I'd like to thank WoW.com, Twisted Nether and Game By Night for mentioning me on blogs and posts-- its great to get reconigition once in a while, right :)
Thanks, and Happy reading!
Kromus
We're well into Onxyia patch 3.3.2 -- and it seems every bodies enjoying the revamped instance. I'm glad to see old content re-glorified, as I love a lot of the old fights and this lovely instance filled a gear gap I was having in replacing my spell power weapon- and lets be honest, there is a lot of old models that look great and are dis-used right now.
Can an old Worgen learn new tricks?:
We know almost definitely that Blizzard are implementing 'Heroic' Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep, with new armour but same bosses and similar story lines-- the question is, will it work?
I think so, Yes. I love almost all of the old content, and can't wait to spend more time in Azeroth, its so vast and beautiful, but un-used once your high level. Think of it as a business investment, a local area is low on tourism, you're going to try and attract people-- maybe Deathwing is doing Ratchet's local stores a favour.
But the most interesting thing is if they decided to go one step further and keep making old instances have heroic modes, and if they do, I'd support them 100% of the way. Its a great way of offering low and high end content that people really enjoy and would love to see in two different perspectives (I mean, how awesome is it going to be beating Van Cleef to death with bigger, better abilities!).
I'm not sure what other peoples thoughts are on this, but I certainly welcome any more old-content republishing Blizzard have in store.
But this recent tier has made quiver a little bit- Why does it look like a evil mage? (although essentially you could argue Warlocks are just evil mages anyway). The Mage tier doesn't look to bad, but it has fangs on the head, wouldn't that look better for warlocks?
I mean, really. Your dumping all your quest items on the floor, theres animals getting in stuck in all those epics your throwing on the floor.
Does it hurt to be a little considerate? use a bin! Blizzard are setting a poor example! :D
I have a challenge for you, try and come up with a solution to throwing everything on the floor, for fun :D.

I think you already know what I'm going to say. This happened to anybody? Ever heard or saw something and thought "hey, World of Warcraft". I have, not like this Microwave scenario(wow that would be bad) but I've sat outside and looked at the trees and thought....I wonder how the weather is in Elywn Forest.
The aspect of becoming addicted is a argued matter indeed. "I'm not addicted, I can play whenever I want" always comes to my mouth, but then I realise I'm just digging myself a hole. (Besides, I have had little time to play recently, and I haven't been sweating with withdrawals...Too much.) Is it World of Warcraft or is it the Player's nature? I think its a bit of both. RPGs generally are 'addictive' as they give the player a feeling of improvement, a feeling I don't blame people for wanting to feel again, and again, and again. I'm no doubt sure some of you played the Pokemon handheld games, they were incredibly fun-- and- 'addictive'.
Feel free to come back!
Hope you found this Comic funny, this blog is intended to be good if you want a quick laugh, but if your in a deep mood feel free to read these paragraphs and questions I'll right underneath- and If you are reading this you are privileged readers of my First comic post- but don't worry....It won't be the last.
