When I started this blog I wanted to be churning out a post everyday. Just hasn't been happening lately with work, kids, introducing a r/l friend to WAR, and leveling two toons getting in the way. Add in all the juicy info on the new RvR instance and skaven that needs to be read and there is little time for me to chime in. And let's not forget about needing to finish the Live Event before its too late!
I have a post incoming about my experience playing with a r/l friend who's a hardcore WoWtard. He's gone now and been replaced by another r/l friend who's MMO experience precludes any type of WoWness. Instead this guy was playing Ultima Online up until about six months ago when I pulled him over to Aion. Now I've pulled him over here to WAR and so far he seems to like it. It will be interesting to see how he takes to the game in the long run.
My playtime has been split between my WL Rogozhin and RP Rogozhor. Its been a lot of fun being able to get my killing in and then switch to being the nice healer guy. I have finally hit rank 30 on Rogozhin and took him out to play in T4. Not anywhere near as brutal as everyone made it out to be. It was my first time ever doing a city defense which was a very mixed experience. The first instance saw Order getting rolled by what looked like a totally premade WB. I was confused the entire time as to why we all just stood inside spawn watching one or two people go out to get killed. When the instance transition we ran to do something, got rolled, then just stayed in spawn again. I found it kind of stupid and boring but people in region were explaining its called meta-griefing? Not exactly my style. The next was better I guess except there were only ten destro to our full WB. I did win a green, blue, and purple bag. Not that anything inside is of any use to me anytime soon but it was neat.
Rogozhor my cute little stuntie has been a ton of fun to play. I've played an AM and DoK but this guy is a healing monster. I just love be able to run around healing everyone while I lead destro straight into the waiting DPS. One thing to note is when I'm playing him I tend to get a little more frustrated with the rest of my team. I completely told off two people last night who criticized my playing. Not that I was excessive and profane, I just sternly explained why they were not receiving heals and suggested they go roll a healer to understand how to play nice with the healers as DPS. Felt good. Also had a scenario where two level 25s snuck in to play. Despite them, we rolled Destro very nicely. Also felt good.
It would be redundant for me to post a lot about 1.4. The folks over to the right in my blogroll already do a really good job of reporting on the latest news. Personally I'm super excited about the new changes and can't wait to see how it changes the game. I'm not very impressed with the new instance. From what I've seen and the feedback on the forums it seems a little boring. I was expecting something much more involved with lots of twisting tunnels and Skaven crawling around everywhere. Instead it seems to be a new scenario with sweet loot. Who knows though, maybe they'll pull something out of their sleeve and we'll see a jewel.
Last thing is the Live Event. I missed the Live Events so much. In particular I love how the daemon ball rally in the empire zones meant when the zone was zerg free there were still few people trying to finish the PQ. Made for some really fun 2v1 fights and with 4XAAO, some very good XP/RP. All I need to do now is kill a few demons and wave to a bunch of people and I'm done on both characters. I really wish they had something like this every month.
