I managed to get some play time in Guild Wars 2 today before succumbing to the 95% load screen hang; Having to Ctrl+alt+del out of the game and then having to restart the comp to recover wore me out after the fifth time. Definitely performance issues during this event, but that’s the whole point of [...]

SWTOR Launch Preparation
December 11th, 2011
20 Comments
Other than studying my butt off for finals, I’ve been prepping for SWTOR to launch in just a few days. I posted not long ago about my struggle to decide which class I wanted to play. I ended up going back and forth over a Jedi Consular Shadow vs. a Jedi Consular Sage… and threw [...]
Choosing my class in SWTOR
November 26th, 2011

It’s time to start narrowing down my choices for which class I’m going to play first in SWTOR at launch. I’ve dabbled in the beta and like everything, which doesn’t help narrow things down at all. The Advanced Class (AC) choice is where things get fuzzy. It’s been confirmed that when you choose an advanced [...]

Below you’ll find my feelings about SWTOR based on the beta testing I have participated in for ~1 month. I have no experience with the end-game, crafting, PvP (if you can’t predict the PvP you need to play more of these games) or much at all beyond the level 20 gameplay. I felt no need [...]

Instead, roles are being defined in archetypes and classes are being lumped into those categories. World of Warcraft is, once again, a great example of the dumbing-down [...]

It’s patch day. Literally. The servers have been down the entire day and barring a 4th extension, we might get to play in the next thirty minutes. This is one of the big pre-cataclysm patches because it introduces many interface, class, stat, tradeskill, skill, and other changes. This is the day when all of your [...]

When I returned to WoW back in April I started by rolling up a hunter from scratch on Emerald Dream. I played through all of the content that I wanted to see and eventually got him to 80. I maxed mining and skinning on him and earned about 6,000 gold. When my hunter’s gear reached [...]

Rest Experience This has had me perplexed since I first started playing. Allods Online uses a rest experience system called “Fatigue”. In this [...]
