Weekend gaming
Posted by: warhammermer on: November 23, 2009
With my barbarian in Perfect World nearly at 20 I swapped to Guild Wars to level my warrior/monk some more.
Ended up being pretty busy over the weekend so I just went from level 10 to level 11.
The quests I am working through are a bit lower than my level (I think) as the monsters are level 5/6. I still do die however if a large enough group is pulled (usually 8-10 monsters).
Since I have been doing the quests, I haven’t done any more missions (main plotline). I might move back to doing some more of that this night.
In Jade Dynasty I leveled my vim from 23 to 25.
Torchlight: Going down
Posted by: warhammermer on: November 20, 2009
I was playing more torchlight last night. I played my alchemist (which is higher level) and the archer.
I was trying out the side quest dungeon maps that you can buy from the vendor. One of the side quests gave the alchemist yellow shoulders and a yellow staff which was cool.
I also found out where the extra skill points where coming from. If you level up in fame, that you get for doing quests and killing champion monsters you get a skill point (the skill points are like talents). So that makes sense.
My Alchemist now has 4 imps, 1 cat that can summon a skeleton and a golem running around. Its mad but fun. Its a pity the pet doesn’t talk like in jade dynasty or ether saga. That would make it better.
I’ve been doing some fishing in the various pools. I have caught some boots and some various pet transforming foods. Apparently later in the game the change lasts longer and some last until you use another fish.
I’ve also found some hidden areas in the dungeon maps and the main dungeon which is fun. I’ve also started to hit levels where traps occur (or are occurring more often/noticeably?).
I have not tried the enchanter yet. I must at some point with something I don’t mind losing.
I have found one potion that gave an attribute point.

Alganon: Dull and boring
Posted by: warhammermer on: November 18, 2009
Apparently the alganon nda is lifted.
I was in the closed beta and logged in a few times. Its dull and not worth trying.
If you want a more interesting wow clone, try runes of magic. Runes of magic has the duel class thing that makes it more interesting.
Alganon is buggy. The races (human and evil human) are dull. The story is dull. The classes are dull.
There is nothing new to do. The scenery is meh.
The skill queue is pointless and a rip off of eve.
The link above goes through how much its a wow clone.

Atlantica Online: Druid merc coming
Posted by: warhammermer on: November 18, 2009
From the forums it looks like a druid merc is on the way.
Notes on the uncoming patch can be found and commentary on the new druid.
With the druid merc you will be able to buy it from the Ndoor store, or gain it through a quest that needs 3 party’s of level 120 players in a new dungeon.
There are also some other changes.
Now you can have double of some C mercs in party.
First link showed 2 x Oracle, 2 x BT, 2 x Janissary
Lotro: Siege of Mirkwood changes
Posted by: warhammermer on: November 18, 2009
It looks like Siege of Mirkwood will also bring some combat changes.
That will be nice however mounts at 20, soloable epic quests and better low level experiences sounds even better.
Plus I’m quite happy to take my free goat.
I am a little nervous about the tougher elite monsters though
Powerful Creatures
Players aren’t the only ones to receive enhanced combat effectiveness. As the power of Sauron increases, the most evil creatures throughout Middle-earth grow in might. Care should be taken when fighting powerful creatures; they are now much more dangerous than you may remember.What does this mean for me?
The change above will affect Elite, Elite Master, Nemesis, and Arch-nemesis creature types from level 30 and above. These powerful creatures will do more damage and have bonuses to their critical ratings. Take Care!
Currently this week is a welcome back week. So its likely that we all will get the +25% XP bonus not just the welcomed back players.
