Shadowlands is here. And as much as my thumb and work have allowed, I’ve jumped in to check it out this evening. What seems like an age ago now (but was really just the 6th of this month) I was pondering whether Shadowlands was over for me...

Five Game Challenge Day 6 – Shadowlands over for Me Before It Begins?

by Naithin | Nov 6, 2020 | WoW | 7

When it comes to WoW expansions, I have a fairly tried and true process now. It dates back a long way, all the way back to Mists of Pandaria in fact. The process runs something like this: Expansion Announced: But I don’t much care, because...

Five Game Challenge 2020 – Day 2: Tough Road Ahead

by Naithin | Nov 2, 2020 | Final Fantasy XIV, Gaming, WoW | 0

Sticking to the five games for November is going to be tough this year. Tougher than last year, by a long shot, I reckon. It was the very last day of October that I discovered the actual cause for my new PC build’s instability and resolved...

Five Game Challenge – 2020

by Naithin | Oct 14, 2020 | Gaming, Other Games, Skyrim, Warframe, WoW | 0

Last year, I put myself through a bit of a challenge. A Five Game Challenge. You might’ve already gathered that though from the title, even if you weren’t here at the time. Though if you weren’t, possibly the finer points of...

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Delayed

by Naithin | Oct 2, 2020 | WoW | 2

I’m trying to work out whether I’m actually surprised or not. On balance, I think I still am. I read through Kaylriene’s thoughts on announcing changes to the Covenant system with a mere 30-days to go a few days ago and I expected...

Feeling the Fear and Tanking Anyway

by Naithin | May 18, 2020 | WoW | 0

In a case of good news / bad news — I can’t really blame my tanking performance on gear any more. Not so much at least. I’ve been incredibly fortunate. I have never been this lucky in gearing a tank before in the entire history...

The Fear of Max Level Tanking

by Naithin | May 15, 2020 | WoW | 6

I started my WoW career as a tank. It was what I did all through classic and much of The Burning Crusade through to Cataclysm. I’ve geared several and had to break through that initial barrier of feeling ready for the end-game many times...

Pathfound — to the Skies!

by Naithin | May 12, 2020 | WoW | 0

I really, truly, thought… That this would come at earliest tomorrow. When I completed all my Mechagon dailies and quests today I was sitting with roughly 1,400 rep to go before revered. This was inline with expectations and I wouldn’t...

Done with Nazjatar (Foreeveerrrrr!)

by Naithin | May 11, 2020 | WoW | 4

Like Krikket, I’ve been working on the Pathfinder achievement set in Battle for Azeroth. Unlike her, I’m not finished yet. But I’m close. Very close. So close I can taste that sweet, sweet tang of low oxygen, high altitude,...

Time to Loot Journal: Blapril 2020

by Naithin | May 1, 2020 | Cities: Skylines, Civilisation, Deep Rock Galactic, Journal, Mount & Blade 2, Other Games, WoW | 2

While not something I’m going to dwell on — I think I will at least acknowledge that the COVID-19 lockdown is finally getting to me. Not in any serious, major ways. Rather just I note that my motivation levels are down, with each day...

Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder Isn’t so Bad After All

by Naithin | Apr 27, 2020 | WoW | 2

Which is not something I thought I’d say. More; I’d say it, I think, even without the benefit of the influence buff currently running in WoW (through to May 18th). You see, I had it quite firmly in my head that the reputation ask for...

Inventory (Nearly) Full

by Naithin | Apr 20, 2020 | WoW | 4

Damnit. It seems that a return to WoW is now all but inevitable. I pondered in yesterday’s post pursuit of flight in Battle for Azeroth, but it hardly seems a question of ‘if’ any more, just when. I know this because earlier today...

Time to Loot Journal: September 2019

by Naithin | Oct 1, 2019 | Asheron's Call, Journal, Other Games, WoW | 6

September was a month largely about returning to a sense of normalcy. The spectre of potential health issues being lifted and work returning to a more settled flow after the last round of restructuring being the primary drivers. Asheron’s...

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2019

by Naithin | Aug 31, 2019 | Journal, Lost Ark, No Man's Sky, Other Games, Warframe, WoW | 4

Wowser, eh? What. A. Ride. August was a month that started with hype halfway through July. The mission: Post every day throughout the month of August (or as near to as you can manage). I have no doubt Belghast will do a round-up when the timezones...
