The straw that broke the camels back – I’m Done

Yes I’m sorry to say this is another WAR blogger quitting post.

Last night I log in, after waiting a huge amount of time waiting for server to come up, I try different toons in my stable. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I am done.

I don’t want to say it’s a bad game, because WAR is not a bad game. I just don’t think it’s right for me, or perhaps I’m just burned out, and need to take a step back for some time. It could be I have alot going on in my real life, and with summer coming. Will I be back, I can’t say.  

I cancelled my account, and will be closing the  doors to this blog.  

I want to thank Greg Moran first and foremost for making my awesome banner, he is a really good artist, and I will be following him and his work for a long time. I also want to thank Syp, Regis, Tobold, Snafzg, and Thulf for helping me out when I started.

I also want to thank all my fellow WAR bloggers out there, it’s a great community. I hope you check out some of the still active blogs on my blogroll.

I would like to thanks Warhammer Alliance thee best forum and info site out there for a game. You folks are ceaseless to your commitment to the game. Thank you.

Last but never least, I want to thank you the reader, for taking this ride with me for over 6 months we delved into the Way of the Chosen, and explored this game together.

Take care, and may the Raven God bless you.

Flawless Armor Fixed.

For a while Flawless Armor wasn’t working properly, and it looks like it is now fixed.

 

Which I’m thinking of doing a new spec…this is my tried a true tanking spec.

I am thinking of going with this spec, to see how it goes.

I am going to try pulling teeth again tonight, and get a Blood/Bile group together. We’ll see how it goes.

What are we waiting for??

I’m a Rocky fan, and I remember when Mick said that, after Adrian said to Rocky, “Win…Win”

Thats how I feel, I’m not going to toss in the towel just yet. Alot of my friends are done with this game, alot of bloggers are too.

But good ole Bootae,  Garawarr  and at Overly Positive got me thinking. There is still ALOT I like about this game.  Sure it’s not perfect, sure it isn’t the game I envisioned.

Alot of people are gone from this game, but there’s alot of people still around. Though it saddens me that they are gone, I look at this as an opportunity to meet new people, to make new friends, to carve new adventures…..

I can just hear Mick in the background, “What are we waiting for?”

 

Just a quick few things,  WA interviewed Mark Davis a little while back about Land of the Dead, please check it out…here.

Over the weekend, I’m going to play around with my spec a bit, I run with crippling strikes tactic in the dread line usually, I think I’m going to give mixed defenses a try instead. See how that works out for me.

Take care all, I’m going to run up some library steps humming the Rocky theme….then go crush people in Nordenwatch…HELL YEAH my favorite scenario..evah. Thanks Mythic!

Well something positive

That Winds of Change stuff has been blown away..pun intended. Here’s the news… from WA.

Something I do like about Mythic they seem to listen more then any other game design company. Is it enough though to stem the tide of all these people I come to know and like leaving. I don’t know.

Thinking about throwing in the towel

So many blogs are closing their doors, but I am determined to muddle through. Last night though I think the straw landed that might of broke the camels back.

I’ve been trying to get a guild group together for Bile/Blood Run every Monday for the past four Mondays. To no avail, so I try one more time. I got healers, and tanks, but after spamming alliance, then trying to find in general I couldn’t find dps that wanted to go. DPS mind you, in the past I could pick up a rock and hit a dps. Tried for 30 minutes, to no avail.

I logged out in pure disgust last night, first time in a long while.

The State of Chosen

First of all I want to thank all who answered my little survey, and it seems alot of Chosen seem to be at the same feeling, of course it’s a real small sampling. I’ll give you my thoughts by answering my own questions.

1. Do you play a Chosen? If not go make one, then answer the rest of the questions.

Yes I played a Chosen from day 1, I don’t really have many alts. I have a few but I haven’t even passed level 10 with any of them.

2. What do you like about the Chosen Class?

I like the look, and the feel of one. By far the best tank I played in any MMO. Also the Auras are pretty cool mechanic.

3.  Pick one.

        A. We’re nerfed to hell

        B. Our class might need some tweaking here, and there but overall we’re ok. – I’m going with B, because I feel that as a class were not being nerfed to hell, nor are we ever overpowered.

        C. OMG! We’re so overpowered. I come out of the Warcamp shooting lazerz…pewpew

4. What role do you fullfill with your Chosen? Main Tank, PvP

    I’m a Sword and Board tank whether it’s LV, Bile, Blood, or Running a Ram on a keep door.  

5. What spec are you?

  I am dread to Crippling Strikes, and Discord to Embrace the Winds, the rest in Corrupt.

6. Where do you see this class going heading into the first major expansion.

I think we’ll see more the same. I really wish they would make Corruption more worth to take. Perhaps move Embrace the Winds to that line.

7. How was the leveling experience of your Chosen? Hard? Easy? Meh?

  Easy, I used the Sans method of leveling, just AoE everything.

8  In RvR, What is the hardest class you deal with?

Warrior Priests, just we sit there hit each other all day, but they wear me down eventually.

9. If given a chance to change your class and stay your level, Would you?

HELL NO!

10. In the upcoming few months what do you think Way of Chosen should focus on RvR tips, PvE tips, Tactics, etc?

I’ll try to focus on what some people said they want.

11. Do you have any questions yourself you would like to ask me?

Ok I’ll try to answer the questions.

Chips, Cookies, I told you my spec, my gear is Mixture of Sentinel, Darkpromise, I use the Sword with the crit from the BS PQ, and the Shield from T4 Inf. Jewlery I still try to stack wounds, with some resists. 

My thoughts on this class is I think were in alot better shape then some classes, but I think we need some more work.

Probably the thing that upsets me is the Wounds cap, I feel it’s not good that some squishy classes can have almost the same amount of HP as us.

Chosen: State of the Class.

I’ve been writing about Chosen, and some challenges they face. I kind of want to get some feedback from the community. You can put your answers in the comment Section.

1. Do you play a Chosen? If not go make one, then answer the rest of the questions.

2. What do you like about the Chosen Class?

3.  Pick one.

        A. We’re nerfed to hell

        B. Our class might need some tweaking here, and there but overall we’re ok.

        C. OMG! We’re so overpowered. I come out of the Warcamp shooting lazerz…pewpew

Thanks I hope I get some answers. I’m going to let this sit over the weekend. I’ll be back Monday see if I got any answers, and give you mine.

Tomb of the Vulture Lord.

Ok I can’t really do any better job explaining the new expansion than Greg Moran over at TOK. Here’s Pt1, and Pt2.  Really fantastic job.

I really don’t get into Live Event’s all that much….well except the beer one. Hey I like to drink, Piss off ya wanker!

I am looking forward to the Tomb of the Vulture Lord.  My only point of reference is Darkness Falls of Dark Ages of Camelot days. It was a fun place, I would be in there for hours just farming, or doing raids. Then all of a sudden we would lose control and battle for our dear lives. Another time I would be log in, and be surrounded by enemies, and just pwned*. 

There was mention of traps, which I find odd I don’t think there is a disarming capability of any class. Will it be puzzle like.

Here are my hopes for this new dungeon:

1. These new traps will be entertaining at first, but I hope it doesn’t bog down the dungeon, or is something you got to do everytime you fricking do the dungeon.

2. Trash- Less trash is always good. I don’t mind a little. But most of it’s just stupid.

3. Better Itemization of Loot.

4. More Loot

5. Token System fully in place.

6. They include the RvR intelligently.

7 . Bring back the Rocots. I loved those guys on my weak Cleric. I use to farm them alot. LOL!

 

 

* Pwned- Funny story, the other day I told a friend of mine who is a little younger then me, but happens to be a mother of some teenagers. That she was Pwned. She goes learn to spell you douchebag. I go it’s kind of a real word, and spelled right,  that it is leetspeak for purely owned, or ownage.  She goes, “No it’s not”  I told her to ask her teenage daughter. She comes back, “I’m the uncool mom, ain’t I”

I go, “No, I’m just really that much more cooler.”
