i dunno why but i LIKE wat i read on this sentence............mesti implement this feature..........then we can have our own guild Honor system...........ghahahahhaa

aiya eikan why so undecided?............go take a Paladin lah...........then we get our oh-so-many Shamans to cari u...........haven't really seen a fair 1vs1 battle between both of Blizz pet classes b4 so it'll be interesting............

but if u still wanna join us, go take a Priest lor...........we need more dedicated healers...........takut nanti all the Cheatmans go and use all their mana reserves to totem-this, totem-that............btw, how about this for guild name?

< Beli ORI >

to outsiders, they might think it's some kind of funky foreign phrase
and if they asked, we tell them that it's for a righteous cause

Tarpaucase is being perma-stun and perma-sleep by Lvl 60 Vendor Trainer (Elite) at Seminar Instance............with luck, poor Lora can rejoin us tonite.............just don't hope too much............TPC is known to sleep early to get rested Work XP...........damn cheater

KILLAKAT WANTS REVENGE

wanna masuk RFC again..............but must remember to tarpau more ikan for KillaKat............poor valiant Killa died so many times until jadi unhappy liao............lucky Fisshy got a hunch of Meat (don't ask me where it came from........*looks at Fisshy's missing femur* )

on last check, i noticed the lvl gap between members are steadily growing larger............some just reached lvl 10 while other have past lvl 20..............this might complicated instance runs since a good party should always consist of good mix of classes............also, some might be doing their first instance run so they may be unfamiliar with aggro management as well as looting system (which often leads to internal squabbling)...............

for this situation, i suggest that 1 or 2 experienced players help 'guide' newcomers in their early instance run (RFC or WC is a good start)..........some group formation advice, aggro management, assisting in loot sharing etc

note that i know some of u will not like to be 'bossed' around by all-knowing-players (especially if this is ur first time and want the freedom to learn things on ur own) but when u get repeated wipes and Ninja looting while spending hours inside, u will prefer some kind of organised system in placed..................this is one reason why pickup-instance-groups don't always work out nicely.............

to end, always pack in a good mix party...........warrior + shaman + healer + mage + spare = FTW

btw, does anyone know how the XP distribution system works when a very high lvl grouped with a bunch of low lvls?

say a lvl 30 dude group with lvl 10s inside RFC............will the presence of the lvl 30 dude drain all the XP?

ROFL............this is why u should always return back to ur class trainer to check up..........i think for most characters, u get some skill upgrades every alternate lvls so pay that lonely trainer a visit lar

here's some group looting advice............

1) ALWAYS N or G BEFORE PASSING ROLLS..............especially for Bind-on-Pickup gear in pickup-groups............Ninjas are abound

1) DON'T INTENTIONALLY LOOT WHEN IN BATTLE............nothing scares Nym the Priest more than a bunch of popup rolls windows in the middle of a 4-5 mob battle ........lose ur priest and it's a nice long walk in non-Technicolor mode

2) DON'T SAY NEED & LATER AUCTION THAT GEAR............nothing gets u labelled as NINJA faster than this.............we got some Dragonmaw examples if u wanna read up

good idea.........especially on enchanting...........coz it's hard to lvl up early on and ppl who are enchanters are always broke (they tend dust green soulbounded instead of selling)..........so can the real Enchanter plz stand up?

also remember that since Cro can now make 8-slotter woolen bags, pass the 6-slotters to those who need it..............i still have like 2 stacks of Linen in bank..........who else needs them?

ARGH.......will send KillaKat to hunt u down for wasting precious herbs ..........no more weed for Asta

Edit : Since Syck has grown to almost double the initial members, wanna retake another group photo? too bad our tailor not high enough to make tux........can mark it as the 1-week aniversary of guild Syck

poor eikan.........pointy-eared-Druid brethren not giving enough bovine <3?.........speaking of druid, how many do we have at the moment?...........i might start one myself but i can't stand Tauren self-scratching............do u guys have fleas or something?

jeezus........just saw my first mounted fella in the server.........a lvl 40 Tauren Shaman with all the gears from Scarlet Monastery..........from Mograine's Aegis to Herod's Shoulder and more

btw, if u guys can get more Briarthorn and Swifthistle, i can make Pots of Swiftness for long mountless journey across the Barrens

i think most Syck members would generally have no problems with the new regulations.............as long they don't go around public cursing in the general chat or Ninja when grouping with others, the new rules is just like an extension to your normal day-to-day behaviour............so play nice (i know being a nice Horde can be extra challenging) and don't do to others what u don't want to be done on u (note that this doesn't apply to Alliance........show them no <3)

but if u do encounter cases where other misbehaving Hordes pissed u off (such as Ninjas), try to stay cool and take a screenie of the incident so that we can all be aware of such fellas.............perhaps once our guild presence has been established, we can begin to flex some inter-guild political muscle

anyway, guild raids and other events will probably start once we get more members around lvl 20++.............then we can start moving in packs across Contested Zones to places u guys fancy a visit such as Gurubashi Arena.............

hey guys, if u happen to be at Stonetalon fighting spiders (or anywhere else), save those Venom Sacks for me to make Anti-Venom............it comes in handy when soloing w/o any Shaman/Druid nearby...........

oh goodie.........finally got my bow upgrade...........time to camp near Shadowfang Keep for some PvP practice.............when i was surveying the area on my way to Hillsbrad, i saw many lonely Paladin making their way there (probably for their uber Verigan Fist)..............too bad most of the Forsakens there were too low lvl to do much............

P/S btw, which instance should we do next? RFD?

hmmmm..........i'll list out all of the instances available so that everyone has an idea where we are going next..........

Safe Instance (within Horde borders)
RageFire Chasm (15-18) - Orgrimmar
Wailing Caverns (15-21) - The Barrens
ShadowFang Keep (18-25) - Silverpine Forest
RazorFen Kraul (25-31) - The Barrens
Scarlet Monastery (30-40) - Tirisfal Glades
RazorFen Downs (35-40) - The Barrens

Not-so-Safe Instance (within Contested borders)
DeadMines (15-20) - Westfall
BlackFathom Deeps (20-27) - Ashenvale
Uldaman (35-45) - Badlands
Maraudon (40-49) - Desolace
Zul'farrak (43-47) - Tanaris
Sunken Temple (44-50) - Swamp of Sorrow
BlackRock Deeps (48-56) - Searing Gorge
BlackRock Spire (53-60) - Searing Gorge
Strathlome (55-60) - Eastern Plaguelands
Scholomance (57-60) - Western Plaguelands
Molten Core (lvl 60???) - Searing Gorge
Onyxia's Lair (lvl 60???) - Dustwallow Marsh

Dangerous Instance (within Alliance borders)
The Stockades (23-26) - Stormwind
Gnomeregan (24-33) - Dun Morogh

send a tell if i missed any...............and as u guys can see, we can quest safely till lvl 40 within our own borders...............something i didn't notice before

any plans on how to get in? it's not like General Marcus would let a bunch of Hordes to just stroll in............anyone checked whether is there any Horde quest that we need to complete there?

anyway, i'm more interested to try out the teleporter at Booty Bay to Gnomeregan.........also wanna try luck with the many grim-encrusted loot to be found there

true..........that's why i'm eager to try the teleporter there............reason why it is considered dangerous is that unless u entered the instance itself, u are still inside Alliance sector............first strike PvP belongs to them...............unless somehow Gnomeregan behaves otherwise.............

for me, Scarlet Monastery is a good farming ground for Hunters and Shamans coz the uber Mail drops there will serve us well at lvl 40

oh nice.........more buffs for Warriors and Hunters too ...........gonna read more first

1st Edit : AWESOME CHANGES FOR WARRIORS..........GO FISSHY GO

no need to hide lar Fisshy, it's either a Arms/Fury PvPer or Prot Tank.............i suspect it's the former...............at least now u have a choice of DW or 2H

life as a Hunter in PvP is a sure twist compared to my previous Fury Warrior............

last time when soloing, my Warrior always chase and charge into soloing opponents............dunno why but they tend to flee from me when one-on-one............in group PvP however, they always gang-bang my Warrior first so death was pretty frequent............

now for Hunter, even with the mighty KillaKat on my side, they are more daring and will chase me when i'm soloing............winner depends on who ambush who first............but in group PvP, Hunters feels safer coz they always go after the casters and Warriors, leaving me and KillaKat to pick our target...........

mmhhmmmmm........KillaKat loves to eat Fish........especially nice smelly undead Fish...........especially the one always in front wan, tanking and bleeding nice juicy blood

anyway, for those are playing Hunters, here's my recommendation for pet management

1) KNOW UR PET - tame and keep different beasts so that u can switch them accordingly for different scenarios. Some lazy ones are too c2pid to learn any other skills so DON'T BOTHER. Others are fussy eaters who eat lame foods like fungus and fruit, so again DON"T TAME...........to keep it short, here's my recommendation for the 4 types of pets

High HP, Low DPS - Bear (eats all shit and clever enough to learn all skills but slow attack speed)
High DPS, Low HP - Cat (also clever and got high attack speed but abit fussy eater)
Higher AC, Low DPS - Turtle (not so clever, also fussy eater and slow attack speed)
Jack-of-All-Trades - Wolf (fast attack speed but not as clever and very fussy eater)

Also, most beast in the same family has same stats upon taming except for attack speed............so taming Echyakee or King Bangalash = pretty pu55y but still lose to KillaKat (The-Pet-formerly-known-as-Rake).............this applies even to elites one...........so choose ur pet properly and don't focus too much on just the pretty ones

2) KEEP PET HAPPY - always keep pet happy by feeding and not letting him die too often (<= LAME Hunter)...........keep a stock of ready food handy (especially in long instances)............take up fishing so that u can t1u yi at VC's doorstep while waiting for lame group members who died to come back............in all, Happy Pet = more damage, more training points upon lvling and more obedient...........

3) TRAIN UR PET - always take time to go tame silly faraway beasts so that u can learn & teach new Pet skills.........Cower lvl 1 on Onyxia = dead Pet, silly Hunter...........so go on road trip across the beautiful world of Azeroth to find other beasts to tame temporarily...................like a one-night stand, just tame, feed, action & dump..........AND REMEMBER TO STABLE UR MAIN PET FIRST............don't masuk all the way into BRS to tame Bloodaxe Warg only to realise ur pet is still with ya.............

4) USE PET PROPERLY - though fairly useless in PvP (sorry Killa, /sooth), pets can be a fairly annoying factor in a large chaotic battle............KillaKat's high attack speed is useful to interrupt those nasty spellcasting and force the caster to run around, disrupting their pretty formation...........Killa's also can chase down those fleeing stranglers who have only a flicker of HP left.............if he succeeds, one HK for me.............but that usually is a suicide run for Killa (/sooth KillaKat again)
