Been playing at R20 now, though because of work I only really got an hour or two of fun. Most of it was spent exploring now that I have my mount and can get easy access to the prettier areas of the game!
A few problems encountered over the last few days, and I’m beginning to see more of the bugs rear their ugly heads. Lucky for me they don’t really seem to affect me, only my party members and Tariston, which isn’t nice because I know he gets quite frustrated. So far we’ve had issues getting him Ch9 Influence — for some reason he doesn’t get any even though I do. I was told a while ago that it’s because the party leader isn’t in the same area, but we were all in the same zone doing the same PQ. We even made him leave party and rejoin and he still had the problem.
His love for the game was renewed a bit last night after a Mourkain Temple that went particularly well. I’ve been experimenting with Tactics myself, currently using Kiss of Doom and Jagged Edge. Brute Force does put my Strength at 411 which I don’t think is too bad, but at the same time it’s more DPS to make the enemy bleed!
And now, a few problems I’ve personally noticed with the new careers:
- KotBS auras currently stack to ridiculous amounts, and because there’s so many of them all in one place at the same time, it means Str is often reduced to 1.
- Chosen have recently had the above problem changed, but because there’s never more than two or three of them in any one place at a time, no one has ever noticed such a big problem.
- KotBS feels like what Chosen was meant to be, and like they’re trying to make up for what I personally feel (and a lot of the community seem to feel) is lacking in the career by continuing to make them outwardly pretty. And they are that, but seriously, we need to see either less death or more damage. Even as a tank, they just feel a little…lacklustre.
- I’m beginning to see why I don’t play tanks. D: No AP at any time because I do so little damage, at least low level, as a BG that to kill something I have to constantly wait for AP to regen.
Anyway, it’s not really a rant, as I know it’ll be fixed, but I don’t even like the look of KotBS. They look like Paladins, whom I’ve never liked, since the days of D&D.
All in all I do still feel like I’m being a little optimistic. I still enjoy the game and feel like I’ll continue playing it, though my interest in taking up FFXI with one of the guys from work and an old friend (hurrah Eclips!) again is rising, and I know I’ll be taking a little time out to play some EVE since I’ve missed it so. That doesn’t mean I don’t still love WAR, I just think I’ll need to spread my time a little.
Tonight will see us going back to the DE area and doing the PQs there to get the naked unlocks before we’re too high to go back to T1!
