Mists Beta: First Steps and Protection Paladin

This morning I woke up to a beta invitation. I was expecting one eventually being an annual pass holder but I checked my account through yesterday, when I heard that a wave had gone out, and it wasn’t there so I assumed I’d be waiting till next wave or longer. I knew that emails took a while to come through but I didn’t realise that it took a while to show up on the account as well. Anyway, happy days I’m now in the beta.

Legacy Disappointments

There’s a lot I like about swtor and one of the parts I really like are class quests so I’m an altoholic in this game. The part about patch 1.2 that I was most interested in seeing was the expansion of the legacy system. Unfortunately it isn’t all I hoped it would be. I don’t like negative posts so this isn’t just a rant, promise. Also, this is three days late but better late than never right?

Blackrock Mountain: The Crowning Glory

I missed the scheduled post on Saturday as I didn’t have one in reserve and was too lazy to type one up. Having a schedule is a good thing as it does force me to keep up with this whereas otherwise I would let it slip. However, a too demanding schedule would burn me out completely. Therefore I’m going to cut down to twice a week, a Saturday post and a Tuesday/Wednesday post. Anyway, back on topic, I was thinking the other day about Blackrock Mountain and how often I go there.

Mog My Closet: Scarlet Monastery (Lookalike)

When I was writing the post about transmogrification I suddenly thought that I could do a weekly feature on it. I love creating transmog sets and I don’t have the time (or the bank space) to collect half of them. Therefore it seems like a good plan to share them and if someone likes the set then they can use it themselves. I’ll post this on Tuesdays so it’ll be something to look at during the downtime Wednesday mornings. I forgot to post this on Tuesday and I haven’t written one for today yet so thought I’d post this today. From now on it’ll be Tuesdays. Starting off today with a Scarlet Monastery set for plate wearers who are locked out of the mail after the level 40 armor specialization.

The Ultimate MMO

Now for something a little different. Yesterday evening I logged on to warcraft and ran Firelands in the continuing quest to get our priest the legendary staff for the guild. I then had dinner and afterwards logged swtor and played through Korriban with my new sith warrior. Perhaps it was playing them in quick succession that made me wonder about the ultimate mmo. The ultimate mmo isn’t warcraft and it’s not swtor, it would be a mixture of both and more. So this is my recipe for my dream mmo.
