An August Recess
(In other words, catching up with things)
PS - Of course I still got the order backwards. To read this post in order start at the bottom post and read up.
There has been a longish hiatus where I failed to enter posts that had been made. And of course, I'm now trying to sort things out and insert those many posts into the right spots. I will try my best to do better in the future. For now, though, here is the list of post titles in proper order. Using the titles, I will then insert the content of each post.
Heart of Azeroth Fix (July 30, 2019)
It took two days of trying, but a tech managed to fix the problem I had with the Heart of Azeroth. It is now working. Wench is still getting used to Nazdajor. At least for now most of the action is there. A lot of water areas as well as a number of places that seems very similar. Wow may be retreading a number of things. That includes adding partners that go with Wench like we used to do. They are only available in the new zone, I believe.
Wench now has her Heart of Azeroth and she's added two new pieces to it. Wench says that given another week and she will feel comfortable in the new zone.
Update on Stats
Gear score is i384, AP Level 48 plus 22%. She is still using her trusty i370 polearm.
Hoping to Re-Connect (July 24, 2019)
This morning I saw an old friend who turned up on the chat channel. The post was recent but the friend was already gone. Her name is Talatiana. She is a member of the Horde and is a member of the Meitha Guild. Wild has attempted to contact her before, but this time Wild might actually get a chance to say hi. I left a message of my own, letting her know that my current character is called Wildswench. Yes, Wild is playing a female character now. If we can connect with her, or someone else in the guild, I'll give an update and hopefully reconnect with what I consider my real warcraft family.
The next day Talatiana had left a note saying that she had received note and was excited to be back in touch.
That is only the first step. Talatiana (Tala for short) has no idea what level Wildswench is at or even if there is anything I have that would be of interest to the guild. I could ask to join and I'm sure I'd be happy to add to there large guild. But at least to begin with I really don't have anything to contribute. The Wildshard that Tala knows fought in dungeons and raids, with Wild always being the Healer. I can't really do any of that anymore. Maybe it won't matter to her, but it matters to me.
Worse, I am stuck in the game and haven't been able to fix it. What would they think if I join them and immediately tell them I'm stuck and need help. They might think I'm using them, and when they fix my problem I drop them. I wouldn't of course.
Poor Wildshard (July 15, 2019)
Everyone knows that Wench is stuck, unable to proceed further into the Heart of Azeroth. Wildshard decided he would come to the rescue. Wild figured that he could follow the initial parts, showing Wench the path up to the point where it intersects with the parts that he had trouble with. Alas, all Wild managed to do was mess up his own process. Not only that, he somehow managed to completely screw up his combat rotations. He thought they had to he reconfigured - instead, he mangled his skillset to the point he will have to go back to the beginning. Sigh.
So now both Wildshard and Wildswench are completely confused.
Wench and Wildshard Begin a New Adventure (June 26, 2019)
To start with Wildswench pushed her gear score into new heights in the latest upgrades. Her gearscores are now as follows: Overall Gear went from i374 to i377. Wench's i350 two-handed polearm was upgraded to i370, a major improvement. She's still at AP 46 plus 69%.
Stuck in the Mud (July 14, 2019)
It took longer than expected, but Wench finally gained a new level. She now is at AP 48. Her gear score is i381.
Then the world tilted and Wench lost her way. The rules have changed. What used to be a simple Neck piece has been transformed into the Heart of Azeroth. All power is now embodied into by this element. It is manifested as a neck piece from which all requirements are founded. Wench has one item that is designed to fit into the Heart of Azeroth. It's called Petrified Ebony Scale. Wench has been unable to figure out how to use it. She knows that she has to go to Silithus to complete the transformation. She has been able to complete some parts of the puzzle, but has been unable to complete the process. She is stuck. And she's alone.
