Phaelia Things I Want

Published on October 1, 2007 by Phaelia

I’d like to share a few of my desires for the World … of Warcraft:

  • I want an addon that makes a cat “MREOW!” sound every time I use Pounce. And one that makes the sound of a rocket going off whenever I Feral Charge (Rocket Bear).
  • I want a non-combat pet that’s really a dog and NOT an ugly Worg. Oh and one of those cute skunk critters you find in Terrokar Forest.
  • I want more interesting “flavor” bits to be found in chests while fishing. One can only use a smoke flare beside someone and use the /stink emote so many times before it’s not funny anymore (I have been told the number of times where it’s actually funny is somewhere between 0 and 1).

  • I want out of combat resurrection. And it shall have purple light to indicate its vast superiority over that possessed by all other healing classes, thus ensuring that they never be offered groups again.
  • I want a flying Unicorn. This is about the only flying mount I’d be willing to grind reputation for and pay extra money to acquire. I had hopes for the new Cenarion Expedition flying mount, but alas, it’s a Hippogryph.
  • Along those same lines, I want to be able to carry gnomes on my back in Flight Form, Cheetah Form, and Bear Form. Mounting would have to be with mutual consent, of course. “Nesbit would like to mount you. Do you agree? Yes/No/Report Sexual Harassment”
  • I want to win the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. And I want to smack people fishing in my Tasty Fish pools with a week old, 10 lb. salmon.
  • I want an addon that gives me points for maintaining Heals over Time. And shouts “Combo!”, “Combo x 2!”, etc. when I get multiple HoTs running. Extra point modifiers for keeping them running on multiple targets (1 target = 100%, 2 targets = 150%, 3 targets = 175%). Throw in some DDR-esque “GOOD!” “GREAT!” and “PERFECT!” for casting Lifebloom closer to its expiration. Add some wonky techno music and boring Kara runs would never be the same.

So if you were delivering orders at Blizzard, what things would YOU want?

    I would love a unicorn flying mount.
    That’d be so awesome. I would grind for that too.
    Right now I’m stuck with grinding the rest of the gold for epic flying though.

    Completely reasonable demands imo.

    Wow should I make some demands? Kudos to yours. I have some crazy awesome ideas. Like I want my leaves to change with the season.

  • Gravatar Kestrel

    Ummm…about that unicorn thing. You do know the requirement for possessing one, no? ;)

    Kidding aside, some pretty reasonable suggestions there!

    Your gnome mounting idea is epic.

    Do you agree? Yes/No/Report Sexual Harassment”

    I laughed quite hard at that

    Get it! An Epic! HAHA. :p

    1) I want to be able to pick the colour (color if American) of my shapeshift forms

    2) I want dash in all forms (especially cheetah too)

    3) Similar to Phays. I want to be able to make cat sound emotes in shapesift forms

    Very good posts. :)

    1. Alliance amulet around the neck of Night Elf Trees of Life. Horde Medallions on Taurens.

    2. Tree of Life leaves changing with the seasons is an AMAZING idea. Make it so.

    3. More emotes for feral forms, moonkin form. More audio clips for each form as well.

    4. Swim speed aura for party members when in Aquatic form. A few special attacks in aquatic form would be nice too. “Gore” plz.

    5. Out of combat, reagent-less Rebirth for Resto druids that take Tree of Life. Indoors Entangling Roots for Balance Druids that take Moonkin Form. Swiftshifting (bear-to-cat-to-bear) for Ferals that take Leader of the Pack.

    6. The ability to trap random Critters and make them Non-Combat Pets. Then the ability to name Non-Combat Pets.

    7. Non-Combat Pets to have a passive buff on its owner. For example: Sprite Darter Hatchling offers 2mp5; Hawk Owl offers 4 Intellect

    8. Relics to be made available to lower level druids, shamans, and paladins. Nothing extravagant, just something worthwhile.

    9. More class quests. Hello Great Cat Spirit. Why won’t you speak to me?

    10. Stag travel form. Let Tauren keep Cheetah.

    11. %Spirit to count as a Intellect, for all “faith-based classes”. IE Shamans, Druids, Priests and Paladins.

    12. Fishing to be more fun. Once in a while, we fish enchanting materials from the water. Or murlocs with a higher proportion of copper/silver/gold than at level. Or quest starting items that send one cross-world to deliver a message in a bottle.

    13. An easier way of getting to Scarlet Monastery than running through Silverpine, swimming through Lordamere, or dying in WPL. Gnomeregan-like teleporter would be nice.

    14. Talvash de Kissel as a jewelcrafting trainer.

    15. Night Elf Shamans & Forsaken Paladins.

    16. A quest to actually race in the Shimmering Flats.

    17. A Neutral portal trainer in Gadgetzan, Caverns of Time, or Cenarion Hold.

    … whew. Seventeen’s a good start, no?

    I want aquatic form to be able to get out of the water. Give a 20% speed reduction or something, but let it /dance!

    @Isthla: I’m not sure what your tradeskills are, but if you happen to have Tailoring or another production tradeskill, there’s good money in farming the materials for the rare Primal Nether recipes (if you have one). That’s how I made most of my Epic Flight Form training cost.

    @Wilz: I think so, too! Especially the one about a purple-colored resurrection spell!

    @Auryann: Leaves changing with the season = awesome. And I want Winter’s Veil decorations, too.

    @Kestrel: =P Have you SEEN Phaelia’s face? It’s the most innocent Night Elf visage you can pick. I definitely think she would meet the requirements for possessing a unicorn. Now my Warlock, on the other hand …

    @Eric: My husband’s mage would like it, too, since he’s no where close to being able to afford an epic flying mount of his own. Of course, they might require you to have the skill trained …

    @Philip: Oooooh … Cheetah Dash! Good idea!

    @Anonymous Poster of 17 Suggestions: You have some great ideas, too. I have always felt there should be a racing quest in Shimmering Flats and looked for it when levelling up there. I’m not sure I would like non-combat pets to have specific auras, though, as it would defeat the purpose of using them as a purely cosmetic accessory. With any luck, the cockroach would give 20 MP5 and I’d have to have one. >.<

    @Ermengol: Or at least give them an underwater dance. Then druids could engage in synchronized swimming. ^_^

    I read the original post and /agreed totally… and then read these additions by an ‘anonymous’ poster in the comments and just thought, how absolutely necessary these are… why the hell haven’t these happened yet?

    Kestrel – awsome point. I dont think we’ll see many unicorns.

    I want my moonkin to let out a hearty (audible) belly laugh and roar. Everybody else gets to lol.

Hi, Too bad this blog is no longer maimtained. Thanks for you post though. I wanted to address the issue of lefties. I am on, and use the N52TE. I use a trackball with my right hand and the n52TE with my left, no problems.

I didn’t read the pages upon pages of comments so I don’t know if these issues have already been hit, but I can think of two things as a boomkin/tank druid that have helped immensely with my nostromo. First off, turn off the diagonals on the D-pad. Wow kindof accounts for these innately by combining vert/horizontal key presses. Having the nostromo keyed to do this is redundant and screws up movement. The second is key spam macro’s. I have my nostromo 6 buttom set to...

Sweet thanks for sharing! And i thought I was the only one disappointed in WoW’s art and character customization! Let’s hope Cataclysm has more in the works of real visual art like this instead of middle school quality graphic farts!
