Christopher R Taylor Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Instead of leveling everyone up all at once like I have before every expansion I'm tightly focusing on one character and working on him. He's getting revered in every faction and working on the fox mount quest finally (got an invite in a box in Suramar at the end of the "train our army" scenario).

Pattern Ghost Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It looks like 7.1 is coming on Oct. 25th. That's pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 And it'll have Kara! Which will be Mythic only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 ESO is having their Halloween event. It's like playing ESO, only you get themed goodies for changing into a skeleton and killing bosses. With One Tamriel live, at least you can kill them anywhere.

Pattern Ghost Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 So, I logged on to Champions Online while making sure stuff works on Win 10 (it does), and found out that my Grimoire and Devastator had been revised. Apparently, they did a revision of the Sorcery powers recently. They've added the dimension of Enchantments (buffs) and Curses (debuffs) to the powers, and stuff that interacts with them. Grimoire now has seven power choices instead of the usual two, which is cool. Devastator now has three power choices, which I think is up from two before. The heavy weapons set looks like it was modified to interact with fire more, and many of the abilities apply Clinging Flames. Devastator now has an energy unlock with Thermal Reverberation, which should be nice. The Void and Specialist were apparently also updated, but I don't have either. There are also some new AT's (new on me anyway): Rockstar (tank, paid), Hexslinger (ranged, paid), Penitent (melee, paid), Predator (melee, paid), and I saw someone mention a Witch AT being on test, but not sure if that's accurate. Edit: Tempest was changed slightly, but no respec. Scourge also had a respec, due to recent Sorcery changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 The new Khadgar dungeon dropped along with other stuff. Blizzard is fixated on Mythic dungeons this expansion, they're pushing them like a Canadian Women's curling player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yeah, I am not happy about the Mythic crap, especially when it comes to advancing the storylines. What was so wrong with having attunements at Heroic?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd be fine with mythics if they put the base level of mythic into the LFD tool. It's not like the first mythic level is that difficult. Otherwise, it's just too much of a PITA to be bothered with. I've mainly just been logging in to do my world quests, and slowly completing the zone quests for Legion Loremaster. I tried to start leveling another character the other day, but got bored fast. I just can't go through the same content all over again so soon. I did the first wing of LFR that was released, but haven't been back for the rest. The odds of getting item upgrades aren't worth putting up with the general population. I'll do the other two wings at some point, when I want to spend the time on them, then be done with LFR until the next batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Blizzcon stuff on MMO Champion: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/ Biggest news: Flight in 7.2 . . . AND class specific flying mounts for all classes! Unlocked by class order hall campaign. Flight unlocked by Pathfinder part 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I did one LFR raid for the Suramar quest line, but it was't a very impressive raid. The gear was all lower level than what I already had as well, but at least I got artifact point items off each boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Free play weekend coming up for Elder Scrolls Online, if you want to give it a try. If all you know is Skyrim, you're going to be disappointed, I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The new expansion dropped for Star Wars MMOG, and they're doing a double xp event again. They shifted things around slightly in characters so you start with a specialization pretty early on rather than waiting until level 10. Not that it took long to get level 10 anyway.

Christopher R Taylor Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Star Wars MMOG is doing their "life day" event, snowballs and a holo trainer and some other stuff. You aren't required to go to Kashyyk and watch the incredibly stoned cast of A New Hope do a skit. Winter Veil hasn't quite started up for World of Warcraft yet, no word on any new presents yet that I've seen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 World of Warcraft did a medium sized patch, no new content added, but some changes to classes (mostly boosts and shifting talents around) and adding "mini holidays" through the year. Also added timewalking Pandarian dungeons, which I guess are somewhat popular even though I found them vastly unbalanced in terms of risk vs reward.

Pattern Ghost Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Heads up if you play Champions Online but infrequently: Today is the last day to get a free steambike vehicle. All you have to do is get a quest from Jo the Mechanic outside of the Power House in the Renn Center. (It's an accept then turn in type.) It's a 5 Speed, which is the fastest I think any of the freebie vehicles have been. It has a gold or brass main color with the rest being metallic, so fairly neutral color tone. Link. I only to the freebie vehicles, b/c I don't like the vehicle system, but they're handy for flying around on lowbies and characters that don't have a good vertical movement power due to concept.

Cygnia Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Learned that my newly dinged 110 Ret Pally CAN solo WoD heroics on Wow, enabling me to clear off a few old quests on my queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yeah you can easily solo Draenor heroics as a geared 110, or with some classes right away (paladins are really powerful right now). Its useful to build a tavern in your garrison and do the quests there for toys and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, there were two WoD era toys I still needed to get, hence why those quests were still taking up space on my QL. It's weird. This expansion I played a BM hunter first, so I'm taking things like surviving for granted. My pally needs to severely catch up on gear. And yet, said hunter just got his 3rd Legendary...

DasBroot Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 250% experience bonus is active in SWTOR. With a little PvP thrown in I leveled a bounty hunter to level 70 (cap) by halfway through chapter 1 (Nar Shadda - planet level 24-28). Thank god they implemented a level scaling system capping you to the planets highest level while you're on it so you're not fighting things 50 levels below you constantly. Also thank god there's a post-cap reward system so there's a point to keeping going besides seeing the story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Do they still have the insane free to play restrictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
