Being a Fail

2012-10-29T12:48:00.000+00:00

Hey there!

I'm really sorry for the sudden and long absence. I assumed that when I started back at university I would be able to commit my free time to creating ZHPS comics weekly, but I have been incredibly busy and my free time has been few and far between. As the creator, lineartist AND colourist, it takes me a long time to create a single comic and my schedule has been so full that I have been completely unable to keep up.

I don't intend to abandon this project completely and I will create comics when I can. Sorry for being so useless, and I hope you are all enjoying Pandaria!

Peace out!

Hope you're all enjoying Pandaria!

Launch of the Pandas

With the arrival of the Pandaren in Azeroth and the freshers at my uni, ZHPS is taking a hiatus for this week. Happy levelling, and we'll see you next Wednesday!

(sorry!)

That's What Guilds Are For

I remember meeting Peng and wondering how the abuse could be friendly. I now laugh at how naive I was...

Daily Grind

I've always been terrible at sticking to my dailies. "Just a few more quests... for now...". Why do they always have to put such good rewards on such mind-numbingly dull requirements? :P

Changes

2012-09-06T11:24:00.000+01:00

I received lots of feedback from reddit yesterday when I inflicted my comic upon them, so here are some updates, changes and announcements!

New Comic Weekly
Now that I have a few completed comics, I will be sticking to a weekly schedule. You will find a new comic released every Wednesday. Keep an eye out!

Name
I have never been happy with the name Fail Priest. It felt very unoriginal, but I expected that it would only have a few followers so I didn't worry too much. However, it has received a much larger response than I had anticipated, and especially following a comment yesterday pointing out what a mundane name it is I decided it had best change sooner rather than later.
So, step aside Fail Priest and welcome Zero Healing per Second (ZHPS)! I will be slowly changing everything associated with Fail Priest to be ZHPS, so I hope you didn't all get too attached to the name *guilty face*,

Art Style
As mentioned above, I didn't expect so many people to view and follow my comic, so I've been left feeling a little embarrassed by some of the artwork featured in it! (check out my deviantART and you'll see it's enormously simplified compared to my normal style)
I will be spending a little more time on them from now on now that I have a week in between submissions, and if you keep a look out you'll see my existing comics get a facelift.

Gold Farming

2012-09-05T08:59:00.001+01:00

Ever get those days where you are willing to sit there all day doing whatever it takes to make gold?

Never seems to end well for me o.0

Levitate

2012-08-29T11:45:00.003+01:00

I thought I was being so clever when I had this idea... that was until I slowly landed on Onyxia o.0

Anyone else done this?

Meeting Meeble

2012-08-27T16:33:00.003+01:00

Oh come on, I can't be the only one who struggles to fight the urge to hug every feral druid I meet!

The Duel

2012-08-25T22:33:00.001+01:00

Dueling has always been a disappointment for me. Far, far too many sheep...

About

2012-08-25T22:28:00.002+01:00

Hello, and welcome to Fail Priest!

My name is Rachel Mead, and I play a Blood Elf Priest in World of Warcraft. I've had itchy feet for a while now; I follow many fantastic players online and I have wished to be one of them with thousands of people enjoying and seeking advice from my updates. But for around a week now, I have been faced with the disappointing realisation that I had nothing of any interest to write about. I will never be as good as those other players- I have no strengths to play up to.

And that was when the idea struck me- perhaps my lack of strengths is my strength. No matter how hard I try in game, my friends and me always have a good giggle about my frequent dumbness, and everything seems to go wrong for me. So, why not combine my strength in art and my weakness in common sense to create a web comic of the trouble my Priest, Kyrianna, is so often landed in? So, here are my memoires in cheesy web-comic form.

Enjoy your visit!
