Flying Fun

As I mentioned WoW keeps dying on my machine lately and I have been doing a lot of testing to find out what goes wrong. This involves doing something in the game for about 10 mins after which the system will start dying.

Killing is impossible in these test runs, coz I am bound to die after the game hangs. So I thought I'd just play with my flying mount for a while.

So I was doing this. (hovering right in front of another hovering toon)



Most of the "hoverers" were AFK. But I found one guy who wasn't.

He started by going higher (hitting space). I responded in the same way. And then we suddenly started on these acrobatic feats... going very high up, diving nose-down, stopping just before hitting the ground, flips (Ins and Del) and turns and keeping track of each other and suddenly stopping to hover in front of each other.

Then we talked a while about mounts and enhancements and how to grind for the 5000G needed for the epic flyer.

Good Fun!

Woot!! Flying Mount!!

Today morning saw me earning 400 something gold out of auctions, which made my total 1211G. I needed 900 for the flying mount so off I went to wildhammer stronghold.

The thing with rare gryphons is that you have only 3 options. The Golden Gryphon looks like the public transport gryphon... so no one really buys it. Everyone buys the really cute looking "Snowy Gryphon", which is why I didn't want to buy that. So I got the "Ebon Gryphon" :D

Happy with my purchase, I went off to the Shatari-Skyguard base in Sethkyl Mountains. Remember this can only be reached with a flying mount. I started on the quests and hit my first problem with flying mounts. Not a problem really just something to be wary of.

My machine keeps hanging occasionally for some unknown reason while playing these days. I got the symptoms of this happening and was looking for a good place to wait till the game came back to life. In a hurry, I thought just hovering high in the air would be a nice idea :D

Firstly, I got attacked in the air by the birds flying around. Now that's fair. I had even read about that on some site. But the funny thing is I died in mid-air and I could get to my body from the graveyard coz my body was too high up in the air!!!

So be careful about dying in mid air. I can almost imagine someone dueling me, killing me and then dying in mid air due to one of my DOTs!!! That WOULD be fun :)
