There was Mammoths in trees, Jousting, Achievements, and crow Eating! Be prepared for a crapton of screenshots, and alot of words!

First off, I dual specced. Yes, I KNOW I did alot of bitching and moaning that I wouldn’t. That I didn’t WANT to learn to heal over again, blah blah blah. But dude! It’s an achievement! And…I’ve bitched and moaned alot longer that I wanted the ability to freely change between Boomkin and Tree. So there it is. I even managed to heal our favorite Bear through heroic Violet Hold without him losing too much fur!

Speaking of Instances, said bear squeezed into a Dwarf costume and ran Strat, I got to go along for the ride, which was awesome having never been there. I even got to meet Mrs Bear! The baron wouldn’t give up the mount though.

I do not like jousting at all. In fact the only reason I got the 3 Alliance valiants done was because a very kind (or bored) mage named Steelmor was nuking the valiants from center ring for me. Thanks Steel! No matter how many good guides I read, just no. I finally got the achievement by staying on the opponents tail and tossing shield breakers when they ran away. I’d run after them launching SB on the move and melee. Wash, rinse, repeat. These pets are going to be painful to collect, but I’ll do it. Expect much /flailsying.

Also, there seem to be some changes that came with the patch that we are just going to discover as we go. Such as Emblems of Heroism and Valor being auto distributed to the party/raid when one person loots. Very cool addition. However much to the dismay of classes with ground effect spells, a change to the video settings caused a stiry by seemingly making them disappear! Thanks to a WoW Insider article about these things, the secret was revealed. There is a video setting, with a checkbox that needs to be checked in order to see many ground effects.

And that about covers my weekend in WoW. Oh, I guess I never really posted about my guild/server change. I moved my druid and hunter to those crazy Sidhe Devils. No drama to report though, sorry:P Just expanding my social experience in the game I guess you could say. And Sidhe Devils has been tempting for quite some time, so I just went for it. I still have a toon on Khaz’goroth, so they’re stuck with me too. HA!

And finally, there’s something you don’t see every day. It looks really uncomfortable for the poor mammoth though.
