City Siege

So this weekend was busy for me and I wasn't able to play much because of some family things I had to do. I got back on Sunday at around 4 est time. I decided to take a nap because it had been a long weekend and I needed sleep. So when I woke up I didn't know if I wanted to log on or not. Well I decided to and I am glad I did. When I logged on we were in the city and I was like holy crap.

So my guild is in an instance and I just start roaming around in different instances to see what was going on. When I got in the instance with my guild we started doing the invader pq. When we completed it I was happy because I got my Invader Helm to complete the set. I was happy and thinking this was a successful siege for me. Then it flipped to stage 2.

We go to the arena pq first. We started it and I thought it wasn't so bad to get through the first 3 stages then the lord spawned. We found out real fast that it is hard to tank that lord. So I just start to kite him around. With him be able to snare and knock him down it was to bad. We completed the pq and I won a purple bag and was stooked. I got my Warlord shield which is awesome. Then we start on the next pq well once we figured out how to do it and it was to late. Oh well it was a good run for me. Maybe next time I will get warlord gear.

Incoming Expansion

Mythic is working on an Expansion for Warhammer Online. Here is the blurb from Slashdot. This is a good thing I believe because it shows that mythic is still dedicated to the game and is willing to put money in to the game. I only hope I reach rr 80 before it comes out.

Selling Accounts

So apparently in the past day 2 of the better players on our server have sold there account. I am sad to see them go. One is from Ironfist that transfered over here. He was one of the better WH on this server and the other was a Zealot who was also one of the better healers on this server and he is orginally from Gorfang. It is sad to see them go but it brings of a question. Who in there right mind would buy an account?

Buying accounts is something new to me since this is my first MMO and I never fathomed anyone buying accounts especially for the prices I see them going for. I googled selling warhammer accounts and I see them for sell. I saw one sold for 400$ and another for 300$ that is just crazy and stupid on the buyers part. Hell if that almost makes me want to do it but I am enjoying the game to much. Also if I sold it then I could never come back and the person who bought my account would never live up to my character status since I am amazing (jk).

Now back to the question who would buy an account? In my opinion a lazy idiot who wants everything handed to them. I don't begrudge the people selling them because who knows the circumstances that they needed to sell them for plus a little extra cash is always nice but still who buys them. I mean part of the MMO experience is the ride up to the level cap. Making friends a long the way and joining a guild. You don't experience everything it has to offer if you but a character almost to the maxed out level. Where is you sense of accomplishment if it is just handed to you. Oh well to each his own but I know now when I see these players on the battlefield it just won't be the same because they will never be the same caliber player as the orginial players.

TotVL

We are doing this again now. Being more active with it trying to get those weapons since it will make us better in rvr. We are on the 7th boss right now again. Our problem with him is that we have no rdps in this group so it is rough getting past the first phase sometimes. When we do we are good on the 2nd and most of the time on the third phase unless that hero puts down his aoe right where he is standing. Fourth phase we had some troubles but we only got there 3 times because of the stupid 1st phase. Those kiting heros I hate because if the server lags while you are on them or they disrupt or parry your attack then you wipe with only mdps. We were getting better at the end of the night though but it was at 12 am when we were getting good at it. Oh well we will down him tonight and work on the 8th but from what I hear with 2 tanks in the group cross guarding it shouldn't be to hard. Oh and my helm better drop from the 7th boss or else.

All the LOTD Weapons

Here are all LOTD weapons.

New Weapons

So mythic in the infinite wisdom decided to release new weapons for lotd. Here they are. Now these weapons are awesome but you need to get 5 funerary (sp?) mask and some type of paper thing that you get from a gold bag in downing the world boss in lotd. So basically you need to do pve to get the best weapons in the game. Also when you do have a chance to get them there is a chance that a lvl 30 or so character can get it before someone who has played the game to rr 65 or more.

This is also something hard to do since no one on our server has downed the 8th boss yet. Our guild now though is going to get more serious about it sense these weapons are being introduced and we are going to focus doing it more.

Still I wish they would make rvr weapons better. I mean come on I like to pve everyonce in a while but to grind out pve to get the best gear in the games sucks. Especially since if you make one little mistake in TotVL on some bosses then you wipe. Even if the mistake is a bug on mythics end. If mythic fixed the bugs in TotVL and made it a little bit easier than I can see it being done. But as it stands you need to complete the dungeon everytime it is up for a month and a half just to get the belt and gloves. Which is jsut insanely stupid.

Leaked 1.3.1 Patch Notes.

If you haven't seen it yet go here to Shadow War blog to see the patch notes. It looks promising if it is true. Should be interesting. Not going to post my thoughts until Mythic offically says that it is what is going to happen.
