Have you ever felt so frustrated when you feel like you're right about to get something, then it turns out it doesn't happen? Well, that happened to me today.
Last week, I had planned on reaching 40 with my Hunter on Greymane in World of Warcraft. However, stomach problems prevented this, and I ended up at 38, but with plenty of experience so that only about an hour or so of additional leveling was required to hit 39.
This weekend, I was absolutely DETERMINED to get to 40. Why am I so worked up about level 40, you ask? Well, in WoW, level 40 is an important milestone for hunters and most other classes. At 40, you get your very first mount (if you've got the money), which increases movement speed by 60% or so. On top of this, you typically become able to equip a higher grade of armor. For Paladins and Warriors, plate armor. For Hunters, mail. On top of that, there's getting all of your new, powerful skills, so you can see why it's important.
So, today I was leveling, and I hit 39. This was about two hours ago, probably less. I kept working so hard to hit 40, but of course, as is to be expected from this damn machine, it started slowing me down and giving me UNGODLY amounts of lag. It happens every single night at eleven, and continues onward. AND I WAS ONLY 6 BARS AWAY FROM 40. That's not very much. In fact, it's hardly anything when you compare it to the other stuff I had done today.
Put simply, I'm really frustrated and pissed off. I feel like I can't keep commitments, and what's worse, my computer disconnected me from the server because of all the damn lag. God dammit...
