At least long enough to write up a little of what I’ve been doing. Warhammer, of course, and a bit of Spore on the side. Plus work has been incredibly busy the last few weeks, including working weekends more often than not, ugh! Oh well, it looks like things -might- be settling down a bit in November, but the rest of October is booked solid – including most weekends. Unfortunately as a “salaried” employee, I don’t get any overtime for all the extra work, maybe I’ll get an “atta boy” from … Continue reading
Where does the time go! Lately for me it’s almost all of my free time has been going to Warhammer Online. I’m really enjoying the game and it looks like I will be in there for quite awhile. I also just got Spore last weekend but hadn’t had time to play it until the other day. It looks like that will be a fun one too for a few more run-throughs. I’ve got a couple races up to space-faring, but I’m not getting the hang of that as quickly as … Continue reading
As much as I do like the game, there are a few things that are just incredibly annoying to me – pet-peeves if you will: Annoyance: Contrived, geographical “pathing” – where the landscape has been forced into “walls” making you go where the game devs want you to go. It really sucks to fall in a river that you can’t get out of until you swim ten miles up/down stream (Yay Chrace!). AND places where folks obviously USED to be able to walk, but now there’s a big pile of … Continue reading
It’s been a great week in WAR for me. I was able to get into a great guild called “Casualties of WAR”. We had a few hiccups on the Volkmar server (over hour long queue times), so we moved over to another server which has allowed us all to login “at-will,” so that has been nice. And with the game going live, the server has started to pick up in population, so we’re actually starting to get some PvP going, and basically it’s been great fun. I created a Chaos … Continue reading
With a full week of game play, I’ve definitely narrowed the field dow a bit for what I predict I will end up playing most of the time in WAR. I spent most of my time over on Destruction – and noticed they were severely underpopulated on the two servers I played on (Caledor and Chrace) – Dest. was constantly held to their war-camp’s “exit ramp” and rarely captured the RvR objectives for more than a few minutes at a time. I usually only played Order on Chrace when I couldn’t get … Continue reading
