Girl Learns to Play WoW to Surprise Boyfriend

Recommended Posts

Here's the story of a girl who wanted to learn WoW to surprise her boyfriend, and here's how it went.

16 days ago, a girl wrote on Reddit that she wants to learn to play the game to surprise her boyfriend since he loves WoW and always wished she was a gamer to play the game together.

She asked the community for YouTube videos, posts, and websites, that explain WoW to a total noob from the beginning.

A week later, she posted an update on how it all went. Her boyfriend was at work when she used his PC to create a new Pandaren Hunter character. She got the hang of the controls and the game's main goal, which was her goal all the time along.

The boyfriend came home, and she told him to log on to WoW because she wanted to show him something. His reaction was really positive, and she has never seen him so excited. She told him she had practiced somewhat but needed his guidance to teach her the rest.

What's really cool is she genuinely enjoyed the game and has been playing a lot ever since. Her boyfriend helps her and explains whenever there's something she does not understand.

Long story short, the boyfriend appreciated the effort she made to learn to play the game and taught her a lot. She is currently at level 34 and enjoying the game at her own pace.

The only thing that remains now is that both get their own PC!

This happened to me. Back when WoW launched in EU (february 2005). She reluctantly tried WoW with the free 10 days pass that came with my Collectors Edition.

Some months later we were downing Nepharian 1st on server (Earthen Ring - EU PVE RP, june of 2005) together. I played a resto druid, she played a holy pally.

We still play to this day, same chars, in Shadowlands.

Needless to say, she is now my wife.

And this one of many reasons why so many women who play video games don't go into voice chat or let people know their gender.

OMG  A GIRL PLAYING WOW?????

It's not 2005 anymore people.   A woman playing WoW or any other video game really isn't that big a deal.   

The big deal is she doing it for YOU. I guess you don't know about that 😕

That is not what we are talking about, I have known women play video games and i have likely grouped with them without knowing it, since the only ones that announce it tend to want to benefit from it since it tends to give them special perks, others just want to play the game.

I personally meant that, the women i tend to meet just care about shopping, their own reflection and tend to care more about what they want to do, than what the men they are with want to do.

I just think if i met a woman that was willing to play a video game to spend more time with me would be quite sweet and romantic in my opinion.

I have met quite a few of female gamers in WoW, Swtor and other MMOs in the past the most fun ones to group with, are the ones that do not want special treatment, they just want to play the game, which is fine by me, but the women that expect to be treated different cause they are women, i avoid them whenever i can.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
