Leaving Wildstar and going back to WoW

Hi,

Sorry, but starting to feel bored playing Wildstar, and decided to go back to WoW, with WoD just around the corner. You can follow me here:

A Quiet Couple of Weeks

Hi,

Well, with my knee surgery, it's been a quiet couple of weeks. I've only been playing a little bit in bed on the laptop, farming the housing plots and keeping the gold rolling in. Cassy is back above 40 plat and sits at about 43 plat now. Counting it on all my characters, I'm probably at about 80-100 plat right now. Cassy also checked out the new way to get AMP and Ability unlocks. She got 3 AMP upgrades from Crimson Badlands rep, Northern Wastes rep, and Scientist level 15 vendor.

Before the surgery, I did play Tasty a bit, and got her to level 11, but couldn't quite make it to level 14. I also leveled a couple of others to level 3, and held off deciding which route to take. That is, until Tasty has finished Algoroc, so I can decide which I like better. I'm thinking of Northern Wilds -> Algoroc at the moment. I do like it better. Oh, and I switched Bunny from Weaponsmith to Tailoring. Decided that I wanted the 3 Spellslingers to be Tailor/Architect/Technologist and be a self sufficient trio.

So, that's about it for Wildstar. Not much going on.

TERA:

Nothing in TERA this week.


CIV5:

I played quite a bit of Civ 5 over the last couple of weeks. It's easy to play on a laptop while lying down. I'm going through all the leaders 1 by 1, and got about 3 games under my belt.

Sorry about the lack of pictures this week. I hope to get back to them next week.

Cheers.

Getting Ready for Megaservers!

Hi,

Warning. This is a long post, as I delve into what I'm doing to get ready for Megaservers, and touch on TERA and Civ5.

So, I was concerned that we were only allowed 12 characters in Megaservers. I already had 6 Dominion on Thunderfoot, 3 more on Evindra, and planned on 6 Exile on Avatus. Yikes. Anyway, they clarified that any characters you have will be carried over, but you won't be able to create more until < 12. Well, as I'm going to be over 12, I might as well go the whole hog, and I took it to 24!

Avatus
Evindra

Stormtalon

Thunderfoot

So, that's 12 Exiles, and 12 Dominion. When we get to Megaservers, I'll have a few name collisions, and I'm really thinking of keeping them distinct by servers by having a server centric last name. Something like Thunder, Storm, Avat, Vindra.

OK, what did I get up to? Cassy continued doing the dailies and got to about 1265 EPs. Grrr. Just 15 short of being able to get 4 AMP unlocks to use Trigger Fingers. Roll on Tuesday. Cassy also got to Expert Outfitter and started doing the daily for Eldan Fragments, and some daily crafting for vouchers. I also decided it was time to buy another CREDD. I put a bid just above other ones, and got one for 6p60g. Here's my CREDD history:

CREDD log

It doesn't show the first one I ever bought, for 2p50g.

I also leveled Teccy and Slinger a bit, but then realized that Chewwy was standing out as the only one not to have completed Auroria so far. So I started leveling Chewwy a bit.

Then I realized. I've got all these characters now, why don't I play them a bit. So, I decided to level up my Exiles on Avatus. I got Bunny to 14 thru Celestion, and got Tasty up to level 7, thru Northern Wilds, and now in Algaroc. The idea is to see which route I like best, and use it for all my other Exiles. Here's Tasty. You do agree she's pretty tasty, right?

The plan for next week is to get Cassy to 1280 EPs and use Trigger Fingers, level my Exiles, and maybe level my Thunderfoot characters a bit more. I might not be playing much though, because I go in for knee surgery on Wednesday.

TERA:

I played a bit, and got Elfybrit to level 10. She's a bit more covered up now :) :


Elfybrit

CIV5:

In my current game, I'm playing as Assyria. I play on Continents, and only play on Warlord difficulty. I have got about 12 cities now, have wiped out both India and Brazil, and am currently taking on Russia in the North West of the map. Once I've done that, I will wipe out Egypt and then take over the whole continent, before going for the other one:


Assyria
That's it for this week folks. I told you it would be long :)

Cheers.

A TERA-fying Incident!

Hi,

Well, there was a thread on the forums about the State of Game. Some people chimed in that they'd given up on it and started playing TERA. I'd never heard of it, so I decided to look into it. Well, comments were that it was very grinding leveling with quests. Awesome, right in my wheelhouse. So, I decided to try it out. I made Elfybrit, a High Elf Archer.

Elfybrit

Isn't she gorgeus :) Anyway, I had a hard time figuring out the mechanics, but got her to level 7. I think I'll keep TERA as a sideline for if Wildstar folds or something.

In WIldstar news, Meccy made it to 30. Yay! As with the others, finishing up Whitevale and just a couple of Farside quests did it. She now has a Tier 3 Mineral plot.

Cassy did the CB and NW dailies again, and managed to get a nice purple Chest drop. I can't link a view of it, but at least you can see it's purple. She also put a big for Trigger Fingers AMP and got it for 12g, but needs to unlock 4 more AMP points to use it.

Character
Oh, the other big news is that Technologists will need one item from each crafting prof for some cool stuff in the next big drop. So, Cassy dropped Mining for Outfitter. Zooming through it, she's got to Journeyman already, and will be Expert soon. She also made adjustments to her house, closing off the bedroom with Cassian Walls and Pillars, and adding a couple of plushies to the bed.

Cassy's House
After Meccy made it 30, I started on Teccy and Slinger again. They are leveling in Tandem. Slinger does some stuff, then Teccy repeats it. They are both finished with Bio Dome 3 and are now heading to Bio Dome 4.

For Thunderfoot Dominion, I'm 188/300

For Evindra Dominion. I'm 53/300

The plan for next week is to continue doing dailies on Cassy, and level Teccy and Slinger. I will also be dabbling in TERA. Maybe I need to change the name of the blog to something more generic about gaming. I've had separate blogs for WoW, GW2, and now Wildstar. I really think I need one blog that can flit between games, like Missy's blog.

Cheers.
