Robin Torres as Roblinator, the goblin huntress
Ghostcrawler is missing. I can't find him anywhere. Every time I try to summon him, I get this sinister voice telling me that I don't have a pet to summon. I'm too depressed to go on. Hopefully he will reappear, or else I may be forced to spend eternity in this Town-in-a-Box, putting rockets on chickens.

Robin Torres as Robliness, the goblin priestess
If you're too sad, Roblinator hon, I'll come out and play.
Robin Torres as Peenk, the gnome priestess
I theenk the Alliance deserve some adventure time.
Robin Torres as Robinia, the troll druid
Pshaw!
Robin Torres as Robinemia, the Forsaken mage
If someone other than Roblinator is going to adventure tonight, I think it should be my namesake.

I'm your huckleberry.
Crossbows are indeed cool.
I'm just getting the hang of being both undead and a hunter, but having a crossbow and a bat minion makes things a bit easier.
I remember my human life vividly. I remember following around this guy. He was a paladin. Maybe he still is. I don't know if he's alive or not. I hope he is. He seemed so powerful and he had the most amazing hair. He and his buddies would go hang around at towns or outposts where inexperienced Horde would be. And they would kill the people giving them tasks and selling them supplies, hoping to taunt the Hordelings into fighting them. Then he and his friends would slaughter them, usually 3 on one. His favorite place to do this was the Crossroads in the Barrens.
After these sessions, we would go back to Stormwind so he could brag ... loudly.
He never put his arm around me. He never said anything nice to me. He would just send me for more drinks and get me to pay for gryphon rides.
Once, he asked me to meet him at the Goldshire Inn for a nice quiet dinner. It turns out, I was his backup plan. When Kira Songshine showed up, they both laughed at me and I cried all the way home.
When I get experienced enough, I am going to go to the Crossroads -- if it is still there -- and wait for him. And then I'm going to shoot a crossbow bolt in his face.
Crossbows are cool.

After reading about his chicken, I think I have mastered the ability to read every other word in a paragraph.
However, I when I applied the ability to what he wrote, all I got was *cluck* *cluck* *cluck* *cluck*x30.

Oh Kira Songshine. How my youthful heart yearns for thee. Many times have I steeled myself to invite you to a nice Fish Feast, only to chicken out and buy some Moonberry Juice from you instead.

lol i was thinking the same exact thing when i saw in an earlier post of what started ranged weapons lvl 1 has, and when i saw what a lvl 1 undead hunter has i was saying to myself, omg thats cool
NecDW4 Aug 11th 2010 4:19PM
HAHA nice ones guys.
fl Aug 11th 2010 4:23PM
forgot to say that all the ranged weapons i was looking at was only from hunters, in case(idk) any other class starts with them
Drakkenfyre Aug 11th 2010 4:32PM
All Hunter pets were wiped. You will have to tame another one.
I hate to say this, but it was in the patch notes.
Hollow Leviathan Aug 11th 2010 5:02PM
I assume she was aware of that, but roleplaying her character. It is a bit ambiguous, though.
Drakkenfyre Aug 11th 2010 6:27PM
Reading the rest, what you said is likely. I didn't read passed to the list of characters, and at the end, it's obvious she is RP'ing.
Robin Torres Aug 11th 2010 6:56PM
Roblinator is only level 8 and can't tame a new one. So I need to decide if I want to begin again with her or level lonely and alone until she can tame one. Therefore, it is most likely that Robinemia the undead huntress will be streaming tonight.
Drakkenfyre Aug 11th 2010 7:10PM
Just take the 2 levels.
Remember, Hunters now have to go 10 levels before they can tame a pet. The removal of Raptor Strike makes it harder, but those two levels shouldn't be too hard.
Modpapa Aug 11th 2010 4:44PM
Looks like Belt can't hack the super-complex warlock playstyle....apparently all those nights of the 2 button arcane "rotation" can't compare in sheer difficulty.....
razion Aug 11th 2010 4:48PM
I believe I can safely vouch for Mr. Pants by stating that he would have mastered said rotation had be not been too busy Arcanifying warlocks to piles of arcaneified-warlock-ash.
Drakkenfyre Aug 11th 2010 4:49PM
I think it's more that he can't stand playing it, myself.
Crimson Aug 12th 2010 1:29AM
There is no difficulty in warlock rotation, only the horror that only compares to Justin Bieber's music. Mr. Pants requires to meditate every day to siphon out the vile stench of warlock every day for a couple of weeks after playing a warlock for 5 minutes.
razion Aug 11th 2010 4:44PM
Well, Robinemia. Your tale was--um--fairly specific?
Iirdan Aug 11th 2010 4:51PM
Looks like the good doctor's macro has gotten stuck.

@Gregg Reece as Sandwichdoc
There is a chicken you can get at the Mirage Raceway and then you can start going for An OOX of your own :D Oh, and Rocket Chicken, can't forget him :D Then you could try and get your hands on that sweet Rooster Mount :D
Then you could be Chicken Sandwichdoc XD
Urgata Aug 11th 2010 5:50PM
There aren't any other pet quests at Sandwichdoc's level, although you can grab a bunch of cheap pets in or near (Silvermoon) every city just to start your collection.
Probably the closest thing to the *cluck* pet that you could grab would be the Jubling, but you can't get that until the Darkmoon Faire comes back. And you can get a Wolpertinger next month, too.
I guess if you learn engineering, you can make your own pets, too. Gnomeregan's not that far off. (Yes, you can buy them on the Auction House, but that seems like such a pathetic cheat after hours of acting like an idiot in front of a small bird to make it lay an egg.)
Drakkenfyre Aug 11th 2010 6:28PM
Hours?
The macro to get the egg is easy. just make one with /cluck 100 times (or as many times as you can fit in). Target the chicken, press it once, done.
Be VERY careful about this tho. If other people are around, and they report you for spamming, you CAN be actioned for spamming. It seems weird they would put in a quest requiring you to spam something, then take action if someone reports you for spamming, but it has happened before. Unless they have changed something.
