Paragon member changes & updates - Status 17-11-2010

[wakoz]

Also, there's at least Wakoz who has expressed interest of rerolling from rogue to warrior. There's also sometimes just downright dumb class whine from a handful of players, but I doubt they'll reroll. 8] They just like complaining about how their own class doesn't have every ability in existence and how it's unfair and underpowered and imbalanced while shit is still WIP.

No. Our officers said that one rogue has to play another class in cata since 4rogues is too many to fit in 25manraid. I started wow with warrior and there would be absolutely no problem at all to play it in Cataclysm.

(+If you didnt know, i rerolled from warrior to rogue just before ToC was out)

Awesome Niroth!

I knew you'd write something but I didn't know it would be this cool ^^ I believe we need to recruit you as our third party (couldn't find a better word for this) reporter. Snooping up all the changes and undocumented news, and reporting about them with no shame and no regrets. Zyn already answered all your questions so I'll just thank you and start waiting for your next write-up!

Ps if we have any Chinese readers please let me know if some word/phrase could be arranged from the phonemes: Xe, Zhi and Jha.

Been lurking here for a bit and saw an opportunity to post.

I'm not Chinese but I'm an American living in China at the moment so I figured I'd help out with your request. I don't know if any of these players are in fact Chinese so I'll be straight up with my findings (using my handy iPhone translator). Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm still learning the language.

Unfortunately, neither Xe nor Jha are phonemes in Chinese. The closest might be xi or shi, and zhe or jia. Zhi has some possibilities, like "infantile" or "vagina" (fourth tone). Good to remember that Chinese is very dependent on context, and there are literally hundreds of words each sound could mean, most very normal things. I just chose out the funniest "accidental" names they could have been. Don't worry Zhi, your name also has meanings like "wisdom", "toe", and "manufacture".

There are no phonemes for Xe and Jha in Mandarin Chinese. However, maybe you can find some in Cantonese. I am not sure since I speak Mandarin only.

Mandarin and Cantonese have totally different pronunciation.

BTW: why do you ask this? :)

Priests - Current size: 3

The number of church employees went down in Paragon last week when Ande was all of a sudden gone from the Roster page. Since he was the last Priest to also join the during WotLK it makes me wonder what happened with him. Maybe he was too friendly to children, a common problem within this profession.

Nonetheless I'd like to ask Paragon as to why he has been removed from the roster and if he is going to return with another main. Remember, the Mages still need an A. The remaining Priests are the Chinese trio that has been with the guild for a long time, Xe, Zhi and Jha. Ni Hao?

Was just curious to find out if that actually meant something or if it was just in Niroth's head :) I guess everyone (I at least) secretly wishes that their name meant something in a different language.

Thanks for clearing that out Stannislaus and Leonking.

A small update on the latest changes which I just saw a few minutes ago. All changes are guild internal, meaning existing members changed from one to another class. Because of this I'll just name the players.

Seijta - The guild leader and main tank has switched from Druid to Deathknight. Current specs are Frost and Blood. I'd assume he goes tank again for Cataclysm.

Liha - This one I am not sure about. One Death Knight switched to a Mage named Weedò (names with accents suck). Looking at the DKs in the guild I would have to pick Liha since Devah already switched to Hunter.

Wakoz - As it was already mentioned in this thread by Synti and Wakoz himself he has gone back to his Warrior.

These changes have pretty much streamlined the number of players per class. With the exception of Druids (4) and Paladins (6) there are no three of each class, which makes for a very balanced roster. Good for Paragon that so many members apparently don't mind rerolling / taking an alt as main for the sake of the guild.

(names with accents suck)

It's player's personal choice to name hes own character like he wants by whatever reasons he has.
It's readers own personal opinion if it sucks or not so it sucks to mention it in public.

ontopic i'd really like to see a few lines if possible about the noted class changes too :)


edit: yea, unless the nick isn't full of accent characters. Otherwise it takes just 2-3 'clicks' more.
Because if its linked to a feeling or a loss of person i just couldn't care less if someone hates me for it, thinks i'm retard or whatever for naming it like this.

[xenophics]

I just hate trying to invite (or chat with or target or...) people who have accents in their character names. Usually I just ask them to whisper me and refuse to type them.

It is writers own personal opinion if it sucks or not and to write that if he wants to.

...in a way not trying to force other readers opinion to match hes one.

[meth]

I was a simple statement. No forcing or further elaboration was done with the idea of convincing others that it does.

And he apparently disliked it too, name was changed to Lihaa - http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... e&cn=Lihaa
