The Queue: I fail at chess

I decided to work on getting my warlock the various tier sets until MoP comes out. It'll be a great thing to do with transmogging in mind, and overall, it's a fun exercise that lets me revisit all the previous content.
That being said, I can't get past the chess event in Karazhan for the life of me. I ragequit my computer after failing at it for an hour.
Le sigh.
I'm going to go put on my "lol l2raid noob" hat and drink a beer. At 10 a.m. in the morning. Blogger life forevah.
Ghola aksed:
I'm hopeful that TOR allowing toons to endlessly upgrade items will make Blizz reevaluate their stance on legendaries. I would love quests every expac to upgrade legendaries you own to the baseline epic iLevel for that xpac - so in cata that would be 359. Its a real downer to have these awesome items and not be able to use them at all, not even with xmog.
This x 1,000.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be done. The ability to always update an item has been around in MMOs for a long time. My first experience with it was in Anarchy Online, although I wouldn't be surprised if Ultima or EQ 1 had the ability.
That being said, it's always possible Blizzard could be swayed by the popularity of such a gear/weapon upgrade system now, given its competition. This is one of the ways having more than one major MMO will benefit everyone.
Now, if TOR would just implement a fracking dungeon finder ...
Svylva asked:
Question: I've been using the mobile auction house a lot lately, but really miss Auctionator. Is there any way to access the AH via a mod like that outside of the game?
Not really, no. All those in-game addons are restricted to in-game only, and the AH can't be accessed in any other way outside of the game sans the mobile AH. You can use sites like Undermine Journal for some data that's been gathered, however.
Zaet asked:
What would be the best next race to become druids and shamans (for both factions)?
Humans (so people can RP hippies) and undead (because a skeleton version of all the druid forms would be amazing).

Ahhh redundancy. Much like your adventures in chess, this breaks my heart.
Jaq Jan 10th 2012 12:11PM
From the department of redundancy department...
zinckiwi Jan 10th 2012 12:45PM
Yes, redundancy.
Robin Torres Jan 10th 2012 1:14PM
Let's stamp out and abolish redundancy!

Reminds me, I have to go to the ATM machine where I have to input my PIN number after this.

But, but, but, but, without any redundancy there'd be no reason to drink beer at 10a.m.

How about NEW version of the aqua form?
...What?
CDave Jan 10th 2012 1:48PM
Isn't it already undead?
Al Jan 10th 2012 4:45PM
No, it just wishes it were dead.

Aquatic form made me seriously consider model editing.

I once read this very good guide for aquiring transmog gear from a site called "WoWInsider". They covered Chess event really well and I couldn't have ever passed it without the guide.
Tbah Jan 10th 2012 11:08AM
Oh and I found the link, too:

And I lost a 'c' from the first post. WTB edit button.

WoW, that site is amazing! Imma tell all my friends.
Helston Jan 10th 2012 11:44AM
Great avatar there, Tbah. I don't think I've seen someone post with one like that before, or with such a funny implication!

To be fair, there's an element of RNG to soloing Chess. I've done it several times and it can vary anywhere from one-shotting it due to an enemy King running out in front like an idiot to spending 3 hours on it cause he wants to hang back and not move.
ZodiacDragons Jan 10th 2012 1:13PM
Ya chess event is sooo hard to solo lol. I get SOOO close but Medivh keeps cheating.
Titusx Jan 10th 2012 1:14PM
Thanks bro! I completed my T4 set but I wouldn't mind getting some other stuff from chess event and the last boss. I tried to solo it AND tried with a guildie and failed both times. Hope this helps. The rest of Kara is pretty easy farming.
