Welcome to another double edition of Shared Topics. Now that I’ve moved back to the East Coast for another semester of school, where I get to spend long hours at the library watching computer screens, I’m expecting to be better at keeping up with these topics. Yes, finally, each topic can get it’s very own write-up as it so rightly deserves.
Before getting down to business, I want to shout out that
WE NEED MORE TOPICS
We’ve received a few suggestions lately, but we’re dangerously close to running out. So head on over to the Share Topic forum at Blog Azeroth and suggest what you’d like your fellow members of the Blogosphere to discuss in an upcoming week. WE WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT! (And while it helps to have a blog when suggesting a topic, topics from non-bloggers are still welcomed)
So two weeks ago, our Topic was suggested by RestoDude of the blog RestoDude was on how to assist other players in the raid.
how you (as a rogue or warrior for example) would protect an other member in your group, or how you would assist him to help do his job, or as dps and working together to achieve higher dps
the other way around is also possible (which is the thing i’ll write about) as a tank/dps/healer how other can help YOU in various ways
Offering some pointers were
Relevart of Relevarts Druid Reliquary
RestoDude of RestoDude
Aunna of Bandage Spec
Malevica of Type H for Heals
Elkagorasa of Elkagorasa the Casual
Sarinde of Through the Eyes of a Tree
Sionel of Eight Paws
Aura of Priestage
PVE Rogue of PVE Rogues
Manroth of At Runtime
Windsoar of Jaded Alt
Typh of Point Blank AoE
Zan of Altoholics Anonymous
Hydra of Almost Evil
And for last week’s Topic, Elkagorasa brought up the UI and the changes we’d like to make to it in Cataclysm.
I don’t know about you, but I run a ton of add-ons. I run add-ons for fighting, I run add-ons for rep tracking, I run an add-on for auto-selling grey items and repairing when I go to a vendor. Blizzard, in the past, has taken some of the favorite add-ons and rolled them into the game (loot window follows to mouse, integrated quest map).
One thing that has always bugged me was the “looking for” interface. When out on my warlock in old zones, I like to search for ‘low-level quests’ in addition to pick herbs. On the current interface, this is an either/or option. You can’t do both, while logically, my orc could.
If you could provide input into the game, what would you have added to the Cataclysm interface?
Speaking up were
Elkagorasa of Elkagorasa the Casual
Windsoar of Jaded Alt
Zahia of One More Alt
Stumps of Raging Monkeys
Manroth of At Runtime
Sarinde of Through the Eyes of a Tree
As for this week (what’s left of it), we invite you to look through your bags and bank and discuss those items you’ve been keeping in their sentimental value. Your first epic maybe? Or the item given to you by some random orc in front of Ogrimmar while you were fumbling around on your first character? Talk about as many or as few as you wish and let us know by dropping off a link to your post in the thread at Blog Azeroth!
