Choose My Adventure: The O-Team
by Robin Torres 
Aug 20th 2010 at 8:00PM
Choose the adventures of the WoW.com staff as we level our characters in <It came from the Blog> on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H).
Note: The above is not a live stream. It is the video of Wednesday's live Cataclysm beta stream, which contains spoilers.
If you want to know what the O-Team is, you have to go a little over an hour into the stream to see. Or you can wait until Wednesday's story post, when I'm sure Robinemia will have something to say. At least one of the viewers in the chat channel came up with the name. I am just appropriating it.
Adventurers who play when they can
- Fox Van Allen as Foxlight, the level 22 blood elf paladin
- Lisa Poisso as Prupher the level 10 tauren druid
- Michael Sacco as Shockbroker, the goblin shaman
- Christian Belt, as Selfloathius, the level 16 blood elf warlock
- Elizabeth Harper as Faience, the level 24 troll shaman
- Matthew Rossi as Andrenorton, the level 17 troll mage
- Michael Gray as Grayfields, the level 17 tauren hunter
- Gregg Reece as Sandwichdoc, the level 16 troll shaman
Amy Schley, who is leveling in Hillsbrad Foothills, would like to switch it up for her level 25 troll rogue.

| Stick with combat! |
By popular demand, I'm putting more Alliance choices for my beta streams. Still no worgen, because I'm a girl gamer who hates playing boy avatars. I'm not saying that's the right way to be. It's just the way I am. When I can make and customize my own female worgen, I promise to play and stream her. Please suggest names for the unnamed characters in the comments.
| Night elf mage | |
|---|---|
| Gnome priestess | |
| Dwarf shaman | |
| Robinemia the awesomest Forsaken huntress EVER | |
| Robiness the goblin priestess | |
| Robidin the tauren paladin | |
| Robinator the goblin huntress who still does not have a pet after Ghostcrawler was taken from her. |
And it's been requested that you choose the professions for Robinemia the Forsaken huntress. Below are the choices I'm offering.
| Skinning/leatherworking | |
|---|---|
| Leatherworking/skinning | |
| Whichever one you like, Robin! |
What?
Polls end on Sunday and the results will be posted on Monday, as usual.
Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PvE-H) in <It came from the Blog>. Guild ranks of "Blog Lurker" or above can invite, so /whisper Robiness or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules -- basically, don't be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.Filed under: It Came from the Blog, Choose My Adventure

Leatherworking/skinning and Skinning/leatherworking are the same thing >.< .
Or are they?......

That last post was the point.
You missed it. =P

People in the beta would likely choose the middle option (Leatherworking/Skinning) as there is currently a bug where some players cannot choose a second profession, and she would be stuck with Leatherworking and no skinning.
The system strikes back!
RussGreene Aug 20th 2010 8:16PM
That bug, in many cases, has been squashed.
Iirdan Aug 20th 2010 8:16PM
My goblin is still stuck with only Engineering. Fixed for non-Gob/Worgen maybe?
Jormund Fenris Aug 20th 2010 8:28PM
Dwarf shaman FTW.
Also, "Whichever one you like, Robin!"; I suppose you like Skinning/Leatherworking?

I have most likely been playing rpgs (and forced to play boy avatars) for longer than you've been able to do more than bang on a keyboard.
This puts me firmly in the Grampa category! ... but a girl.

The last poll gave me a hearty chuckle. :)
Robinka, the Dwarven Shamanka.
Robin Torres Aug 21st 2010 1:49AM
I misremembered your name suggestion. So I have Robinkin the lovely dwarf shamankin. And my they gave her a cleavage dress to wear.

@ Robin:
I hope you picked the swirly braids!
Kroronos Aug 20th 2010 9:38PM
Robin should'nt you be using Kill Command instead of Arcane Shot as your primary nuke on Robinemia.
Natsumi Aug 20th 2010 10:52PM
Not until they fix the pet scaling. Currently Kill Command uses the Pet's abysmally low crit chance instead of the Hunter's far superior one. once they do the pet pass then yes, yes she should.

Gname your gnome priestess Gnice, and have someone level a gnome warlock with you gnamed Gnaughty ;)
Natsumi Aug 20th 2010 10:53PM
I would so do that if I had a Beta key :p
Dreyja Aug 20th 2010 10:56PM
I voted but I'm putting it here as well.
DWARF shammy please! Let's face it we haven't seen anything about them yet - it would be so awesome. Plus - one more female dwarf in Azeroth is a VERY good thing. XD

Robin,
I am a grandparent of 4. And I am a grandpa even though I have several female alts.
If I had started when my contemporaries had, I could be a great Grandparent by now. Lol
palooka Aug 20th 2010 11:36PM
