Blood Moon second run
Posted in Champions Online I am not a PvP player usually in MMOs – pretty much the only game where I liked to play PvP was some of the game types in Guild Wars. I have also avoided the PvP part in Champions Online – until now. With the Blood Moon event Cryptic introduced a new PvP map/game – Zombie [...]

Mission for a superhero
But if more missions would have meant more “filler” type missions with little story context, I do think I prefer it the way it is. The game is not quite up to par with Guild Wars when it comes to strong story content vs fillers, but I think it is still better than a number of other mission-oriente...

Avoiding Fantasy MMOs
Good or bad, I see little reason to go back to World of Warcraft, LOTRO, Everquest 2, Dungeons&Dragons Online or Age of Conan. Or try Warhammer Online or Aion for the first time. Guild Wars and Saga or Ryzom are perhaps my exceptions – in particular Guild Wars’ quite strong story part and i...

In the City of Champions
The Desert and Canadian Wilderness zones have a somewhat traditional mission-hub model for missions to do. In Millenium City that is not quite the case it seems. There are Socrates computers everywhere which all provide access and turn-in point for a few missions. There are also a lot of NPC...

The 6th 6th one
This is a picture from the Gate of Madness mission in the Nightfall campaign in Guild Wars. It is the second to last mission where two of the adversaries are the main bad guys from the previous Campaigns; Mr Undead Lich from Prophecies and Mr Shiro Tagashi from Factions. The last mission is a bi...

Progression in Taborea and the cost of convenience
Ignoring the quality of quests (for now), the progression though questing I think will not be quite enough to support leveling 2 classes for a character with the default progression rate. Hence there will be grinding mobs, grinding daily quests, unless a player more or less ignores the du...

Mr Tagachi lost his job
I have not written so much about my play time in Guild Wars lately, but I have been playing when work allowed, which has mainly been during the weekends in the past few weeks. Primarily this has been with my Ritualist (Tarixus), who has been trying to save Cantha from the evil master Shiro Taga...

Making a career in Cantha
So before continuing more I decided to try out some other primary professions and then decide what to continue with. What came fairly natural to try out was the two professions that were specific to the Factions campaign, Assassin and Ritualist.

Splitting the Halloween fight
In Guild Wars there is also Halloween celebrations going on as well. I think compared to the other games I have played Guild Wars has done the best job of providing a bit spooky environment. While I have not explored the event that much, it is neat to look at and listen to. And while doing missions...

Shadow agent and new outfit
To get in a better mood I decided to cash in what I had currently in my Hero’s Handbook and get enough reputation to get some new armor. My standing with the Ebon Vanguard has been the one with most progress and I thought the Monument armor for the necromancer looked pretty good, so I decided to g...

The benevolent leader
So overall I have been pleased to see that the home point feature has a few uses. This is probably quite obvious to experienced players. But I did enjoy that it was something I did realize by myself instead of reading it somewhere - that sense of aha! that you get is something that is quite enjoya...

Good Morning, Kourna!
I learned a few things recently in Guild Wars which could certainly enforce the feeling of Newbie rank. The heroes one can play in Nightfall campaign do have specific professions. But in the same way as players they can have secondary professions as well. However, I had not figured out how to g...

The power of blood
Last few days has again been mainly a bit of Guild Wars play. My assasin picked his secondary profession (Ritualist) and started to head into the main story, which seems to be plagued with some gory issues, perhaps by a local branch of the Umbrella corporation?

Harassing the countryside
Since I reactivated my interest in Guild Wars my excursions in Rogue Isles and Paragon City have mostly been put oh hold. Instead I have started roaming the countryside in Tyria, Cantha and Elona. In a way, I get a feeling that the leveling to level 20 is a bit like Tortage in Age of Conan - an intr...
