Re: Happy Groups!
Maxwell is Maxwell because I didn't like his given name, (Izzikrill. Made me think seafood.) so I decided I'd introduce him as Maxwell, call him that, etc, until it stuck that his name was Maxwell.

Re: Happy Groups!
Being one dps down made the final three tougher than they would have been if we'd had a full group, and I had to swap Mulder out for Punk, as I lvl'd him to 85 first and keep him in my first slot during randoms for emergencies. We had a couple close calls on the plant and magic bosses, but managed to take them down. One left, the shadow/summoning boss, toughest fight of them all just because it's so easy to get overwhelmed by adds, and being one dps light the boss wasn't going to get dropped as quickly as he should have been. I send my loyal worg in with growl on to tank the boss, while our pally was gonna do his best to grab the adds and heal himself to buy us as much time as possible to burn the boss down. First attempt one of those random party d/c's hits, and party gets wiped as a result.
As I'm logging back in, muttering all sorts of curses under my breath about how WoW always d/c's at the worst times, I see all of us in ghosty form running back to the dungeon entrance and we are talking in party all determined to prove that the wipe was just a fluke and we can do this. We get back in the dungeon, heal and buff up, then go at it again, second time we manage to drop the final boss and everyone starts jumping around doing happy dancing as we're congratulating each other on a job well done. If it hadn't been so danged late and everyone sleepy and casting longing looks at their beds we would have rolled a few more. As it was, we headed off to bed happy, and I was wishing we could have cross-realm friends list that we could form a party with for future randoms.

Re: Happy Groups!
Turns out I wasn't the only one who didn't like AN. The tank didn't. At least two of the three dps didn't. But why did they all stay? The dps warrior said it all: "the tank and the healer are both good, only reason i'm still here, i hate this place"
And that's when it occured to me that I had been in worse groups that day, and that this group was in fact pretty good.

I just had an awesome series of dungeons over the last couple of hours. I was tanking on my lowbie warrior, and over the whole time we only switched healers twice! The last healer even said "pro tanking = easymode healing" and it gave me all kinds of warm fuzzies (and also totes made me feel like I might know what I'm doing after all!

Re: Happy Groups!
It was H.Lost City and I was running it with a friend. We got up to the third boss with little to no problems though I'm pretty sure the tank hadn't done it on heroic/been there before because some points we had problems. (Other then Lockmaw, we were really scattered with what the hell we were doing so we wiped a few times. Lol)
So when we hit the third boss, I tell them I'll handle the phoenix in the first and third phases since I can just burn it down and stick my pet on it and my friend would prefer it to be me since he knows I know what I'm doing. Apparently the tank didn't hear me and pulls the bird off so I'm fighting for aggro and we wipe. But remember this is a giggle worthy story so it's all good!
We try again and I get hit with a horrible lag spike and almost die thanks to a stupid sun pillar o doom, but my buddy keeps me up since he was heals. First phase goes fine, Zevryn is eating the phoenix, then second is a little shaky but we get it down too. Then we hit the third phase. During the transistion where you're thrown into your body and back a bit, I literally left the area. I was in the instance still but I was outside the wall and on the other side of the river. Don't know how the knockback hit me out there, I'm pretty damn sure I didn't hit disengage nor do I think it'd work. My pet was still up and on the bird so I just kept spamming BW and KC, but you have no idea how funny it was.
So beware, you can be knocked out of the Lost City of the Tolvir if they decide they really don't like you. I guess insulting his mother wasn't the smartest idea. >>
Hey look, they announce Illidan returning in some form and suddenly I'm back. Hmmmm I wonder if there's a connection.
