Finally got into Age of Conan a little bit. I was able to spend about an hour playing through part of the tutorial, where I made it to level 7 right before I logged out. 1) Graphics aren't bad 2) Sound seems to be decent 3) Does feel like the Howard world somewhat 4) Same old grind.
Sidenote: The last time I took the Bartle Test I predictably ended up ESAK. I like my Explore the most, with Socializing and Achieving running pretty close together, Killer is nil.
Lord of the Rings Online has for the last two weeks been having the Spring Festival. I'm one who, based on the paragraph above, just loves these kinda things. So, predictably, I logged in and participated in the Festival. Immediately upon logging in, characters are given the Spring Flinger title. That's a bit different! New this year was a Hedge Maze as well. VERY much enjoyed the Hedge. Fun rewards for completing the maze, like an emote that lets you slap someone with a fish (HA! I had to make my own macros for that in EQ ... and no, I'm not kidding.) Finished the 5 quests for a new title there, aMazeling. Overall, a grand time.
While off in EverQuest, we've been continuing to raid the Fabled mobs while they're up. Mostly those in the Plane of Time, since the loot there is quite nice and good upgrades for a great many people. This past couple of raids, we've gone back and hit Solteris, end zone for The Buried Sea expansion. Lots of pain grinding access for most folks, but that's mostly done. Finally beat the hardest encounter (the second event, btw) and thereafter took down the 3rd event. Tonight, we're going to attempt the 4th event and see how far we can go ... wish us luck!
On the mostly solo side of EQ, I've been attempting to finish up the Earring of Veracity quest, one which I've had sitting for too many years. It's a Luclin era quest, with a reward that I won't use for anything but a trophy, BUT, it will also render up a key (Arx Key) with which I can take a group into Lord Inquisitor Seru's chamber for a "chat". Lcea Katta wants to talk to his head, so I'll do my best to oblige. Now I'm just waiting for a few headmasters to show up so I can assemble the parts for the key.
Backburner games this week:
Wizard 101, Guild Wars, everything else
About Me
- Tommy
- Just a guy with thoughts running around in his head that sometimes need to get out. When they do, they'll find a place here. Topics of technology, current events, or just the verse of the day and what it means to me. All of these have a place.
