Title: Lex signing out.. and back in again
Post by: Lexander on June 10, 2007, 11:07:28 AM
I'm so bad at writing posts like these...

It is a sad thing that days go so fast. But my military service is starting in 29 days and on tuesday me and my gf are going to Turkey for 2 weeks vacation, so I won't be able to play much WoW before army. So I'm going to end my payment and I'm not sure if I will try to keep the account alive or not. My service is from 9 to 12 months and during that period I have no time to play, and no sure if I'm interested in wow anymore after that time. But I would like to stay in the guild if it is possible and have still rights to acceses these forums, as I would like to know how you are guys and girls doing :)  
    I would like to thank you all for this time I have been in SoG, it has been wonderful! and I even had the change to raid again :) I haven't been the most active in TS but it has been real fun to talk with you! I won't say names, as the list would be a mile long, but SoG is full of very nice and helpfull people. Stay like it and you will do fine!
     I will give my arena leader status to someone in the group and you can sort it out.
    Have fun with the game and show the world what you can do! ... I hope that I said all... oh and btw if you want to talk to me in future you might catch me from msn, or x-fire. Addresses are here if someone is interested :rolleyes:   X-fire: 3lexander3 and msn: sami_lehtinen87@hotmail.com.

Lexander has left the building, :crying:

Thank you for all the fun times Lex :huggy:

If you have as good a time in the military as I had, you'll have a great year in front of you. With the right attitude, it can be one of your best years ever!

If you still fancy WoW when you're discharged in about a year, remember your old pals i SOG - we'll probably still be here :)

I'm on my first "weekend holidays" and going back tomorrow for again 2 weeks straight. I have tried to read all the topics but I think I have missed something, or else it has been really quiet :g:
So how is it going ? raiding and everything :)
 My time has gone pretty fast, faster than I though. If I'm lucky/unlucky I still might have 349 days left :D If I'm honest, there has been many funny moments that I will remember  along time. I might even start a blog or something in this topic if I have the energy, then you can't get rid of me :boxing:

Last 2 weeks went pretty fast LUCKILy! I kinda miss wow right now and feels odd not to be able to play when you want(no, I'm not an addict :P).
And as Bob said I'm getting good memories from there but still it feels like I'm going to be there forever! But now I have completed half of my "basic season" that last 8weeks total, after that I'm getting trasferred to somewhere. I will know that for sure after 3 weeks, but I'm hoping for a place in some of the ships near where I live as there is a big military harbour. Now I need to go with buss to my service place and it takes 2hours, if I get a transfer to "Pansio"(harbour near my town) it takes about 10 minutes to travel :)
    Well the big part is still a head and in 2 weeks I will be going to 10days camp to forrest :sideways: That will be a new experience, and hard one.
Nex friday is my oath and I will get a 4 day leave after that :P but after the oathleave I'm going to be atleats 3 weeks there, maybe even 4 straight... I'm going to flip in that time :woot2:

I'm not even sure why I'm telling this but I hope that even someone is interested. And in the worst case scenario I stil have 335 service days left and the best case I have ONLY 243 :D

Post by: Bob on August 11, 2007, 12:17:46 AM
Good to hear Lex :)

So, you gonna rise to any higher ranks while you're in your service, or are you stuck on that level now for the rest of your time?
What rank btw? Corporal perhaps? Remember I made that while I was doing my time...

These ranks are pretty hard as they work slightly different in different countries, but my "final" rank depends on where am I being transferred after last 3 weeeks on basic training, meaning that am I going to be a petty officer or just crew. Now I'm one rank higher than recruit, so what I am now is kind of the the lowest rank as recruit is not officially a rank. I could call it like "gunner"  or "sailor" depending on my service location land/ships :)
    I might get the corporal rank, but that means a 1 year service, but I will see that in few weeks!

Quote from: Gorion;200947private?

Well the land forces had that rank as the first rank few years ago, but they changed it to "light infantryman" but I really can't find the right word for it.
But as I'm in navy they have different name to first rank, depending on your service location meaning land or sea. So....

When you start you are a recruit and after oath you turn into:
Land Forces: "light infantryman"
Navy(land service): "Gunner"/ "artitillery man"
Navy(ship service): sailor
Air forces: "flight private"

So if I got right what you were meaning that should explain it :D

And I'm back again! You have no idea how damn annoying is to be there 3 weeks straight :sideways: And 10days of thise were little "camping trip" :D
I read something about prince? going down soon ?
   And today I changed my unit to another for more 5 weeks and then I can get to the warships :yahoo: and my service is 9months long so I'm totaly back at  4.4.2008 :roflmao:
I know this is "smiley raping" but damn I'm happy about my service now, as after this 5 weeks of sweat, blood and tears, service will turn to "fun" and I don't have to be there the whole 12 months!!!

I'm here again! And God damn I will be the next 2 weeks in a forrest :doh:
but then again after that it will turn into ship service! But I will get the change to use machine guns and If I'm really lucky then a bazooka :P
  The machine gun is like rambo has and I have heard that it it awesome to use it like rambo!!! I have to test it. And we will also use lazer tecnology, so it tells where you are being shot and stuff, so attack/defence will feel like a war ehn you can "kill" someone.

But enough about army, how are you guys and girls doing ?

That lazer technology definitely is a good thing, cause unlike Rambo most other people would actually die when taking a bullet... So be careful with that :narnar:
And watch out for the trolls when you're out in the forrest :getmecoat:

With us, there has been a pretty good progress with the raids last week. Our speed is increasing and new bosses has been downed :D
So check out the raid progress thread - it's all there.

Noup, It is like m60 but a finnish version of a light machinegun :)

Here is a linkie to it: http://tietokannat.mil.fi/kalustoesittely/media/1083737320_03.7.62_KVKK_62.jpg

And I have heard that shooting from a hip with that is extremely cool, so I have to try it! It has 100bullet clip :P

And this is my personal weapon: http://tietokannat.mil.fi/kalustoesittely/media/1083662005_01.7.62_RK_62.jpg
It is like an Ak-47 but even better ;)
Title: Lex signing out.. and back in again

You can see its based on a AK, it still basicly looks the same.
Title: Lex signing out.. and back in again
Post by: Lexander on September 15, 2007, 06:44:05 PM
Yeah, it is a finnish modification of AK-47, some things like sight has been changed and plus some other. It works like a charm :)

Quote from: Bastet;205935Aye, once the gear and concentration goes up you can clear out the whole of karazhan in a single night eazyly. including all optionals

Indeed.
 
What we can do is clear the trash a bit faster. For example: you should always have two tanks, so (in some cases) when you're fighting the last mob in a group one of the tanks could go ahead and mark the next group. Drinking shouldn't take more then 10-20 seconds; so you should be able to keep pulling trash mobs in quick succession. In the runs I attended recently I felt that we sometimes waited a bit too long between pulls.
 
Another thing I noticed was the difference in DPS between players of the same class, while the difference in gear isn't all that large. Some discussion in the class channel about gear/talent/skill cycles may be usefull if that's not being done already. (Additionally me topping the dmg meters on the last Nightbane kill was a bit silly imo, since my cat gear isn't all that impressive and I didn't use flasks, pots, food, weapon enhancements or trinkets, nor did any AoE damage. I'm not even a 'real' DPS class :narnar: ).
 
Anyway, sorry for the off topic.
 
 
Nice to hear they let you play with some nice toys Lex.
I have to agree, spraying with a 'Rambo gun' might look cool, but the question is: will you hit something other then air? Personally I'm more of a 'one shot one kill' kind of guy. I'd say bring on that bazooka :flirty: .
Title: Lex signing out.. and back in again
Post by: Gorion on September 15, 2007, 09:11:00 PM
re faster pulls, it will be going faster now that sheepy/bastet are marking also
Title: Lex signing out.. and back in again
Post by: Lucian on September 15, 2007, 11:31:39 PM
The other thing I noticed was that there was a constant steady stream of deaths - a death is not to be feared if the speed is maintained.  Sadly for Crys it seemed to be the priest who was dieing a lot.

I just got the luckyest thing today!!! I got onto a weekend holiday :P
   I was going to be there for 2 weeks straight according to original plan, but today when we came out of the forrest to barracks(been there 5days in heavy rain and wind :sideways:). The leader said that all the people who didn't complete the "camping" will stay there for weekend and all the rest will have some holiday!!! but next monday we will go again into forrest for 5 more days :doh:

But now again at home to recharge some batteried for the next trip.  
Only 13 days to ship service and to more intelligent "working" as in land forces it is about running and shouting but in the navy it is something different :)
And then I'm hoping for some time to play with you!

Only cause it doesn't include running and shouting (the shouting will probably remain though) doesn't necessarily mean it'll be more intelligent :flirty:

And Now I'm on a evening leave to until 24.00.
And I'm thinking about paying the wow payment :g:
I get 2 leaves in a week on evenings, one from 17.00 to 24.00 and other one 17.00 to 21.00. And I have 1 of 3 weeks "closed". So I could spare some time to play :P There isn't usually w-lan on ships, atleast not on a war ship, but there is coming one to a big ship but I'm not on that ship :/
So I can't play there. It is a damn shame as I have loads of time to do what ever I want but I'm not allowed to get out of the area -.-
