Quitting WoW (Again)
This will be the second time I’ve written about quitting WoW since writing here at Time to Loot, but only the first time while actually… you know… playing WoW. Although I suppose whether I am in fact playing, or had already quit,...

WoW 9.1 Dated
Cutting straight to the chase — It’s June 29th, with the raid opening July 6th. So if you’re still interested in WoW’s 9.1 ‘Chains of Dominance’ patch, there you go. Not long to go now. Of course, if you’re...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2021
Uh-oh. Time seems to have reasserted its control over the month. That grace period that seems to come at the opening of each year, where time flies by, is showing signs of being at an end. I’m not sure how it is for the rest of the world, but...

Heroic Sire Denathrius — The Tale of the Dodgy Victory
Last Thursday, I went over just how close we were to taking this guy down. Of course- I also went and said we would almost certainly get Sire Denathrius down on Sunday (our next raid night). *sigh* We didn’t, of course. I don’t know why...
Read More Heroic Sire Denathrius — The Fight Continues
But we’re close. So incredibly close. I realise we’re behind the curve a lot on this one — but with raiding two nights a week, and weeks after weeks of real life incidents taking out various key players (largely tanks!) our...

Time to Loot Journal: April 2021
You know, April felt like a pretty good month. No singular overriding reason- just a general sense of contentment, capped off with the discovery the other day that there are some pretty talented piano players out there. No really- it’s true....
Read More Fooled by Shadowlands
Although it would be fair to say, I was almost certainly a willing participant in the deception. I’ve been here for WoW expansions before. Every single one of them, in fact. So I know how the concepts show up in reality. I know the scope to...

Time to Loot Journal: March 2021
Another month has flown by. Before we know it, we’re going to be looking down the barrel of another year done. Yay Christmas! Although perhaps I am getting a little ahead of myself given the beginning of the year always seems to move faster...

WoW Shadowlands: Changing Your Covenant BACK
Back in December, I flipped the switch on my mage, changing him from a frost Venthyr mage to a fire Night Fae mage. Changing Covenant certainly came with a number of impacts to deter people from making the switch willy-nilly but at the time I was...

Time to Loot Journal: February 2021
I spent a good portion of this month unwell, unfortunately. Strep throat straight into a bout of Bronchitis, so I spent a lot of time at home feeling decidedly sorry for myself. At the very least, doing better now. The cough will persist for a...

Bronchitis is a B- Oh hey, Games!
Urggghgghghggghhhhh. And other such drawn-out noises. I’ve been a bit sick of late. Nothing critical or serious — just Bronchitis. But it has drawn on long enough that I’m just really done with it. It’s hard to complain too...

Cracking a Million Gold
Albeit only in WoW, unfortunately. But look, they threw me a party! A million gold is a pretty big milestone for me. I’ve not really ‘played’ the Auction House with any degree of consistency or seriousness since all the way back...

Time to Loot Journal: December 2020
While undoubtedly we all know on an intellectual level that no arbitrary switch in date will bring with it immediate change for the better, there still seems to be a feeling of symbolic importance to the changing of the year. The ability to put the...

WoW Shadowlands: Changing Your Covenant
What’s involved? What exactly do you lose, when you decide to change your Covenant? Is it difficult to ‘recover’ from the switch? Some of these questions are well answered by other guides. Both the likes of Wowhead and Icy Veins...
Read More Considering a Covenant Switch
And a specialisation switch actually. So far I’ve been pretty happy with pushing forward my Mage focused exclusively as Frost. It has a relatively simple yet still satisfying set of skill priorities and procs in order to play optimally....
Read More A Few Weeks with Shadowlands
We’ve had a few weeks with Shadowlands now and against my initial expectations I’m still fairly well engrossed. I’ve broken with tradition of Healer or Tank and taken on a DPS class (Frost Mage) as my main for the expansion. And...

Time to Loot Journal: November 2020 (Five Game Challenge Day 30)
The stitches came out of my thumb earlier this evening. Just down to a more moderate looking wrap on it now too, so things are on the up and up I reckon- looking less like a mummy each day. Then tomorrow — fingers crossed; as this is by no...
Read More Five Game Challenge Day 24: Shadowlands Lands
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?
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
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...
