I’ve tried several characters in Champions Online, and none seem to be able to hold their own after level 11-13 or so. So I’ll probably be spending most of my weekend back in EVE since I can pretty much do whatever I want in that game on my own without needing others to progress. At least in CoX I got near level 20 or so before it was impossible to solo. Apparently folks were able to solo until the massive patch the other day, so much for that. Unless I … Continue reading

As expected, I’ve been spending most of my game-time this week in Champions Online. I’ve noticed a few changes since the “preview/open beta,” basically for the better. It seems that MOBs are much easier to kill for the first 10 levels than the were just a couple of weeks ago, or maybe I’m just better prepared for them, or my current build is just way more leet than the ones I tried out back then. But for the most part, the first 10 levels just scream by, and they’re a … Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s basically Fall already, but that’s how it goes! Most of my gaming time in August was spent in EVE Online with very brief excursions into Warhammer and the Champions Online preview/”open beta.” September will most likely find me in EVE again as my major gaming outlet, with more substantial ventures into Champions Online (going Live Sept. 1) and Battle Forge (Renegade Expansion going live on Sept. 1 as well). I may sneak into WAR as well, but probably only for very short peeks here and there. As for … Continue reading
Well, it’s not quite bliss, but dang close now that I’m getting the hang of the Orca. After spending my life savings in ISK to get the ship Thursday night, I’ve already earned back over 200M ISK, without really trying. A couple more serious mining sessions, and I should have my $450M investment returned, and then some. And, if I remember right, I should have my second mining pilot (third account) in his Hulk sometime over the long weekend. So that should render yet another significant boost to my mining capabilities. Some … Continue reading
I finally got my Orca last night. So dunno what else I’ll be blogging about now 😛 It was getting pretty late by the time I got my last load of ore in, refined, and sold in order to have enough ISK to go buy the new boat. But I did go buy it and moved it back to my “homebase,” fitted it out and took her out for a quick test in one of the local belts. It’s quite nice, but I still have a few things to learn about the … Continue reading
