Its been a while...

But I am still here. Just realised that I haven't posted for a while. Been busy playing... It is actually quite funny from a personal view too have a blog, been able to look back on what you have played and what you thought about the different games you've tried.

After SWTOR was released I've pretty much been playing that game. And I really like it alot! The only downside would be that SWTOR is abit linear. I am missing some of the sandboxing from SWG. Not all, but some.

My main intention were to roll a Commando, but after playing one in late Beta I went for Vanguard instead. Even though I really miss beeing able to off-heal I found the Commando to be to stationary for me. So therefore I rolled Vanguard!

I really love the class! I usually end up regretting my class choice in games, but this time I am hooked. Love the looks, fast pace and the ability to both CC and do good DPS.

My Vanguard is now lvl 46 and at first I specced in the Shield tree, but more recently I have been playing with an Assault specc. Both builds are great in their own way. But currently i'm enjoying Assault specc more. Kinda reminds me about a heavy armored Sabotour from Rift with CC and close ranged abilities. Not to bad, because playing a Saboutour were the only thing I enjoyed in Rift. :D

My current build (Assault):

Here are some pictures from leveling in SWTOR:

WAR, SWTOR and MMO-vacation

It's been a while since the last time I wrote in the blog. My last post told you that I was going to play WOW with some friends. Well, that lasted for 3-4 days then I just couldn't play it anymore. Wow just gave me some weird retro anxiety. :) + I was still enjoying WAR.

That thing has changed now, the sad thing with WAR is because the lack of new updates and content, the game just feels shallow after playing it for a few months. Im not a 100% into PVE but sometimes I want to take a break from all PVP and just do someting different!

The other problem with WAR is the campaign. It pretty much forces you to stand with your 200 mates trying to take a keep that has 200 other guys defending. On top of that, trying this as a ST mdps isn't the most fun thing to do either. :) WAR has always been more about numbers then actual skill. That is sad.

So, time has come to take a mmo-break and play some Fifa12, BF3 and some other xbox games collecting dust. Still haven't completed Red dead redemption.

See you in SWTOR!

Casual WOW project

Haven't posted in a while. Mainly because vacation and lack of time.

I have been playing my WL, mostly alone because my guild seems more or less inactive atm. MY current RR is 75. Im not grinding WAR that much but I would really like to hit rr80 before SWTOR gets released. :)

Other then this, me and some mates have started new horde chars on Belnazzar. I really didnt see this one coming and I thought I would never play WOW again. But I have missed playing with them so of couse I tagged along!

Class choice wasnt easy since I have almost played every class ingame before. But I ended up with a Goblin Shaman, just because I hadn't played the race before. But I cant say I really liked the whole Sci-fi and silly quests that the goblin start area offered.

So this will be interesting, lets see how this unfolds in the future!

Vacation and SWTOR

I must admit that my online time has been somewhat limited lately. My vacation draws near and this week I've been to numerous parties. I have had a blast, but because of that, my game time has been limited. I just can't party the way I did ten years ago anymore :).
Nerf hangovers!

I dont think anyone have missed that we finally can preorder SWTOR! But the whole preorder thing isn't helping my SWTOR abstinence at all! It only makes it worse. Considering that it must be atleast a few month before release, Im guessing nov-dec.

So what edition did I preorder? First I was going for the Collectors Edition, but after a brief moment of sanity, I ordered the standard version instead. Even if I am a complete Star Wars junkie. My Stormtrooper armor at home are clearly an evidence of that!

So why did I not purchase the CE, here is a roundup!

Darth Malgus Statue
Cool figure nonetheless but I would value it alot more if it were Vader or a Stormtrooper.

FOB Security key
Im just too lazy to use one.

Journal of Gnost Dural
Would be a nice thing too read while waiting for SWTOR. But would hardly read it after release.

Cloth Galaxy Map
A map is always nice. But there are a difference between a map and a map. Too bad there weren't more pictures of it.

Music of TOR CD
I love soundtracks, but a CD? Can't remember that last time I ever listened to a CD. In Sweden we listen too Spotify. :)

In game content:
For me, starting up a fresh character with no stuff, is someting that I like. The CE Store made me interested thoguh, but in the long run, even if I understand why people pay extra for vanity stuff, I myself dont want to support that. Paying for the game + a monthly cost is enough for me.

Well there you have it! Did you buy the standard or the collectors edition?

Sunday RVR fun

Last night was a blast. Not only did my GF do a WAR comeback after almost 2 years. But we also had alot of fun playing together again. We rolled a Dok and a Chosen on Azgal and brought them to level 5. Not much but was indeed fun to just do some PQ's and Quests.

Later I swapped to my main and ended up in KV where we totally butchered Destro. But like you can see, we had numbers on our side. I don't know what happend to the Dessies though, almost looked like they gave up or went to bed early.

At the gates!

My normal luck...

College of Crap

This may sound a bit negative and I never really gave College of Corruption a 100% fair chance. But it just didn't appeal to me. I didn't even finish the event, like I usually do.

Analysing why I didn't like the scenario I came to the conclusion that it was because the layout was to "advanced". I personally don't like to run around on a number of different floors killing people(I don't like the Twisting Tower either).

I just want it basic, a open terrain, maybe some woodland and some hills thrown in. Like my all time favorite, Nordenwatch. Just love that scenario!

What did you think about the Sigmar Tide event and the scenario College of Corruption?

Tier 2 fun

Im just about to go to bed. But I just wanted to thank players on both sides, for the great fights we had in T2 this evening. Seems like the numbers are somewhat even, and that alot of people are having a great time in T2 atm.

In shadowlands after zone capture, cleaning duty. :)

I must say that I get the sense that more and more people are playing WAR nowadays. Maybe it could just be Norn though, seems active in the tiers I have been playing in lately.

I just end it here, and with some pictures that I took.

The traditional WC camping

Guarding the keep, perfect for a great shot :)
