At the end of Day 7, I left Nazuga, who had been transformed into a bat, hovering over a bed at the end of a long day. His adventure through the TrialMan Challenge continues with Day 8.
After a very long, and restful, sleep, Nazuga awoke. He was delighted to discover that he was still in the form of a bat. Something about being transformed made him feel as though he was a powerful Mage. Today was going to be a great day!
Nazuga started off Day 7 of the TrialMan Challenge on top of a tower, feeling sorry for himself. He didn’t want to be recruited and was quite certain that today would be filled with death. Nazuga had grown quite tired of seeing the Spirit Healer.
There was no point in procrastinating. As a new recruit, Nazuga had been assigned to defend Far Watch. Specifically, he was supposed to go out and kill a whole lot of Razormane that were nearby. Reluctantly, he got up and started walking.
Nazuga made it through Day 6 of the TrialMan Challenge quite some time ago. I didn’t have time to post it until today. My goal is to finish the last few days of the TrialMan Challenge as soon as possible. At the end of Day 5, Nazuga decided to spend the night in his very favorite Inn.
Let’s start off with his stats. He’s had 4 deaths, and is still well under the gold cap for the TrialMan Challenge.
My little Orc Mage, Nazuga, just completed Day Five of the TrialMan Challenge. Halfway there! Day Five was a bit if a struggle, but was still interesting and fun. I figure it might have gone more smoothly if I wasn’t so very tired when I was playing WoW.
This time, I remembered to take a screenshot of both the stats and the time played right away.
I am still working on the TrialMan Challenge. I got through Day 4, and then got super busy, and didn’t even have time to blog about it. So, here it is. Nazuga, my Orc Mage, started out Day 4 at level 7.
First, a quick review of stats from Day 3.
Despite my best efforts, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to give to Day 3 of the TrialMan Challenge. As they say: Work Work, zug zug. I figure that playing for a shorter amount of time than anticipated is better than not playing at all.
When I stopped on Day 2, I left Nazuga hanging out with the Trolls of Sen’Jin Village. He was at level 6.
My brand new little Orc, Nazuga, started off Day 2 of the TrialMan Challenge at level 4. This time, I remembered to use the arrow keys to move him around (instead of clicking on the screen in front of him and wondering why he didn’t move).
However, I am still expecting his character sheet to pop up whenever I open his bag and am looking for it on the wrong side of the screen. More than a year of focusing on Diablo III has made its setup my “default mode”.
It has been a very long time since I played World of Warcraft. Part of the reason has to do with the amount of hours I spend working. The result was I had a limited amount of time that I could devote to playing video games. The other reason is that ever since the beta of Diablo III came out I’ve been spending my time in Sanctuary instead of Azeroth.
There are so many things about Diablo III that make me want to log in, play, and go for “just one more level”. At the same time, I also missed playing WoW. Perhaps all I needed was a compelling enough reason to get back into it. That reason appeared in the form of the TrialMan Challenge.
This year, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to spend playing WoW. However, I did manage to jump in for a little bit, here and there, and experience Winter Veil. Here’s some of the screenshots I took while I was visiting. These screenshots were taken on December 16, 17, 19, and 24 of 2012.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner is the leader of the Forsaken. She gives this speech about why the Forsaken celebrate the Wickerman Festival during the Hallow’s End Fest. This was the first time I’d seen it. The screenshots you see in this blog were taken on October 23, 2012.
