One day left – 3 more loot cards to win!
Are you guys sick of me giving away stuff yet? :)
In another day the new site design will launch and I can celebrate 5 years of saate.net in style.
The memories that December 2005 post bring back are strange, too. I can remember that at the time I was making my gold by doing stealth mining runs in BRD and then stealthing all the way to the Black Forge. With a [Greater Fire Protection Potion] I could only JUST solo the fireguard that was next to it. Being able to do this paid massive dividends though and I was practically rolling in it (I’m talking a thousand gold here folks!).
The biggest gold sink in the game at the time was getting your epic mount. I decided to take the extremely uncommon route of gaining exalted with Stormwind and buying a horse as my first epic mount. It was worth it for all the whispers I got about it – “What the hell, a night elf on a horse?”. I’d later go on to buy an epic ram and an epic tiger – you better believe people talked about my mount collection!
If it sounds strange for you to imagine any of that it’s even stranger for me to remember it. We’ve come a long way from those days eh?
On to the winning of things!
Let’s go in a different direction today. Since I’ve been posting these around midnight my time I tend to read all the comments when as I have breakfast and it’s a great way to start the day. So today there are two ways you can win:
1) Everyone has something they’re good at – I want to know what your special talent is. What is it that you’re better than most people at? (Yes, sigh, I suppose counting to 31 in binary on 1 hand in 9 seconds counts… :p)
2) One of the big focus points of the new layout will be the forums. Although they’ll look different in appearance the coding will largely be the same. Create an account on the forums and make a post – if anything seems broken or not working it’d be great to know via a forum post or email.
3) Bonus Method – Combining 1 & 2 totally blow my mind by posting about your special talent ON the forums…woah!
(Note to Dregor – Since you’ve established the pattern now you also need to post a boring fact first :ppp)
Thats enough from me I think, night!
Three days until launch! Three in-game pets to win today
It’s all getting a bit exciting! The new website design that I’ve been working on goes live 3 days from now. To celebrate the new look and me having had saate.net for over 5 years now (in some form or another!) this is going to be a big event. I’ve got a swag of WoW TCG Loot cards to give away so keep checking the site each day for your chance to win.
Update: Winners are in!
Congrats to:
[Landro's Lil XT] – Rogrutamaz
[Landro's Lil XT] – Aaron (Facebook)
[Landro's Lil XT] – Frankieheart
Redemption codes are on their way to you!
Today I’m giving away three [Landro's Lil XT] pets. Here’s how you can win:
1. Like Massively Obsessed on Facebook.
OR
OR
3. Leave a comment containing a boring real world fact. I’ll let you guys be creative here and hope we get some amusement out of it :p
You can do all three for triple the chance, too. Since I’ve just added the Facebook page I need a certain number of ‘Likes’ before I can choose a nicer URL so this will be handy :)
Name these quests – Winners
Here you are! Very closely contested, I was pretty surprised how easily you guys answered some of (what I thought were) the tougher ones. A huge thanks goes to Penfold for helping me come up with all of these.
Winners
First Place – Tax with 12/15 Correct
Second Place – Dregor and Decretalium with 11/15 Correct
Congrats guys! Flick me an email with what your card preference is (1-2-3) and I’ll send you out the codes. It was definitely open to interpretation with some of them, most of you were tricked with number 12 (hardest quest) catching some of you off guard. The ‘get your heart racing’ was a clue to that fact it was the Captain Skyshatter/Dragonmaw race.
Barbequed was also the only person to come close to number 3 (this is just a tribute) which referred to [A Broken Trap] which was an integral part of any Dire Maul Tribute run.
What game shall we play next? Any ideas? :)
Name these quests!
I think you guys are going to love this one – thanks to a friend and patron of the site, [Fortissimo], I’ve got some loot cards up for grabs with this competition:
Of course I had to make it harder this time round! Using the cryptic clues below post a response with the names of the corresponding quests. They’re almost entirely classic quests and the majority are available to both factions.
1. The gold at the end of this treasure hunt is not at all what one would expect.
2. A silky solution to a common problem.
3. This is not the greatest quest in the world, this is just a tribute.
4. So wait a second…if I turn the quest in I’ll lose this toy? Not happening!
5. With the assistance of Billy Shears.
6. We have to do it in under 45 minutes? How is that even possible?
7. You would have to be insane to do this one more than a few times.
8. You die if you drink the liquid, but the quest says you have to so…bottoms up!
9. Not as bad as Chuck Norris, but will still cause you to /leave 1
10. An epic quest chain involving the crafting of special bane weapons which culminates in battle against a demon on a lofty desert plateau.
11. Slay the mightiest beast in all of Azeroth!
12. It’s been referred to as the hardest solo quest in the game by many. This one will definitely get your heart racing.
13. Break his will, control his mind, with his power the three rebind.
14. What, 40 Already? That’s bullcrap!
15. This lass is udderly better than Fay or Naomi
I’ll leave this post up for five days after which the winners will be announced. Good luck!
Name these classic bosses
Something fun for you guys! After a few classic instance runs lately I got to thinking about how many ‘secret’ or ‘hidden’ bosses there were even back then.
There’s a massive list of them so I thought it might be a cool challenge to show a picture of a few at a time and see who can get the most correct. To clarify; All of the bosses shown in the picture were in non-raid instances during classic warcraft.
I have a [Path of Cenarius] loot card here for the first correct set of answers. If nobody answers correctly within a day or so it’ll go to the person who got the most correct. Leave your answers in the comments field below!
UPDATE – I’ve had a number of responses come in so far. I’m going to not show the comments for another day or so to ensure everyone gets a fair go. Also a bonus question! People who played a certain class in classic wow have an advantage on this challenge, which class and why?
UPDATE 2 – The first correct answer was Hakasu from Ravenholdt EU, your path of cenarius code is on the way in an email grats! :) Grats also to Dregor, Aimcaster, Blatant, Ares, Stonefury who had correct answers.
The answer to the bonus question was Mage. In classic wow the Magisters Boots (dungeon set) were originally – and very unfairly – a drop from Postmaster Malown. They were later moved to Hearthsinger Forestren who was a lot easier to farm.
I also would have accepted Druids for the Mor Grayhoof/idol connection as some of you pointed out – many memories of stealth farming that one! :)
