Text of the page (random words):
the point where wow has fallen back to the pack in terms of subscriber base the no clue it was coming award employees of gazillion entertainment the publisher of the now extinct marvel heroes much has been made of gazillion s financial problems and the hiding of the same but the extent that management went through to hide these problems from the development staff to the blindsiding of the staff by the company s inability to pay for paid time off when the company fired them all still makes my blood boil i ve been in that situation when the company looks like it might not meet payroll and it sucks a lot and my ire goes to management not leveling with the staff we re all adults here treat us like one the you must learn patience grasshopper award the stereotypical go guy we all know this person that was so easily skewered by crendor because we ve all encountered the go guy this is the warrior that wants to speed pull all of the trash in the first area of halls of lightning and yells at the healer for not keeping him upright or the jedi guardian who just has to jump off of the platform in cademimu because it was taking too long for the elevator to arrive or the agent yelling spacebar in chat because the group wasn t moving fast enough ironically enough wow created instance speed runs just for the go guy to test their mettle but that hasn t exactly rid normal instances of the purveyor of timeliness ah narration by worgen freeman and lastly the golden trinket award to all of the people who would stop and help a new player or a player needing an assist or a player struggling along all of the people who reach out and assist others play well and encourage players to find a home in their chosen mmo world all of the people who treat each other well both in chat and in the world and make the mmo genre a better place i ve seen it happen where people picked up hunters and then dropped them from bgs based on an update in a wow downtime i know that the swtor raiders pvpers will argue that theorycrafting is alive and well in their part of the mmo world the last i checked they re still there playing away even the succubi and incubi are nude which actually gives them an unnerving appearance unlike say wow succubi you can look at an aoc version and not get it out of your head that this succubus is something totally unnatural please please please tell me that someone gets the spinal tap reference add to that the rise of the moba which peeled away players from the wow subscriber base and you ve got problems well pvp notwithstanding being mean to the other faction is kind of the point there eta fixed a grammatical issue and a sentence structure in the gazillion area eta fixed another grammatical error which leads me to believe i shouldn t be writing at midnight posted by redbeard at 1 05 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels age of conan archeage lotro marvel heroes mmos musings pugs rift swtor tera wildstar wow tuesday december 12 2017 same as it ever was i ve not had a big enough chunk of free time to pull off an instance run swtor or lotro in ages but this past week i actually had a few hours to myself without having to go anywhere or do anything so the siren song of running a swtor instance proved too irresistible rather than learning a new for me instance i figured that i ought to ease back into instance running with some of the original swtor instances hammer station athiss and mandalorian raiders why those three well they are my favorites of the original instances with the possible exception of false emperor and they are also the three i m most familiar with even with the leveling adjustment put in place i figured that these three instances ought to be the azjol nerub of swtor once you learn them it s a fairly quick and painless run unless of course you re dealing with an all dps group guess what groups i got now to be fair the hammer station run was pretty straightforward with a standard tank healer dps dps group configuration and we pretty much blitzed through the entire instance not exactly at the same level as a classic azjol nerub run but we finished in about 15 20 minutes and that included me getting stuck on the other side of the meteorite cannon while everybody else took out some more trash before the final boss but mandalorian raiders came next and the run consisted of all dps my prior experiences in the fun with mandos instance with an all dps group meant that the toughest boss to take out was the houndmaster the first boss and this group proved that in spades the houndmaster hits too hard for a standard dps to handle without utilizing tanking abilities or having a healer in tow and to compound the problem we had people attempting to down the houndmaster instead of the hounds first after the third wipe somebody asked in chat why can t we down this guy we don t have a healer the jedi sentinel tanking the houndmaster replied the jedi sage we had in our group wrote something incoherent in group chat and then said i ll do it but remember to move in the right direction got it of course this time we managed to down the boss properly with the sage s healing supplemented by the healing stations around the boss fight after that the mandalorian raiders instance proceeded much quicker with the only hiccup being the sentinel who thought it a good idea to jump onto the downward descending platform in the section leading to the final boss as you can guess he finally caught up to the platform in time to die due to falling damage rez me he cried i m trying but i can t select you i replied how the hell did you manage that one i m talented hee hee hee i grumbled something as the sage rezzed him athiss was a different beast entirely i knew i was in for an interesting time when we kept having people reject the instance before we finally got a full group then while a few of us jumped down into the ruins and healed up a jedi sentinel sliced the elevator and jumped down anyway hoo boy i thought i hope that was just an accident but by the time we got to the first boss i could see clearly that it wasn t an accident that same sentinel pulled one too many mobs for a pure dps to tank and we wiped on the trash then we nearly wiped on that first boss even though that s actually kind of hard to do with four dps burning down that boss quickly but things seemed to settle down a bit when we plowed through the next several rounds of trash until we got to the beast of vodal kresh there we wiped repeatedly on that boss because a people weren t using the healing stations twice b people including myself once got knocked off into the level below and the trash below aggroed and c nobody could hold aggro well enough against ye olde beast sometime after the fourth wipe the other jedi sentinel who d been acting as the tank all the while spewing invective in group chat ragequit i took that as my cue to leave as well since it had become obvious that this particular group simply wasn t going to get past the beast of vodal kresh i then decided to hang around my starship for a while and relax letting some 30 minutes pass by reading the codex and checking on college basketball scores i figured that 1 2 hour was time enough for me to not run into any of those three players again and queued up for athiss once more and i got an all dps group again this time however the run went without incident i d not call it smooth as prophet of vodal kresh took a lot longer to kill off than i prefer but nobody died and nobody complained in group chat it had been a long time since an instance ending in silence after those instances i decided that i m not going to venture into any of the post vanilla instances for a while first i need to get up to speed on a rotation for my shadow as i constantly felt a bit slow compared to everybody else and second i think i d need to study the instances before simply being dropped into them the instance running crowd is as i remembered it with few exceptions people are of the go go go variety one scolded me for not skipping the dialogue sections but i wanted to tell that person that swtor is great because of the dialog not in spite of it if people do that to me on a new to me instance there s likely to be some pissed off group members in my wow days delays were frequently given as a reason for a votekick which i d often reject unless it was someone who went afk for no good reason and i don t feel like reliving those days again this included house chores such as laundry or dishes or cooking i m still not sure how i managed to get this free time this week but hey i ll take it that ought to take old wow players back to the good old days of wrath of the lich king by the time wrath came to an end a random pug could pull off an a z run in about 10 12 minutes flat sure being overgeared for the instance helped but once you knew the fights it was a rare occasion to see a wipe in a z even utgarde keep couldn t match that one of all dps naturally in my defense i knew about the knockback quite well but i was speeding to a healing station that was still open when i got knocked down my alma mater won so i was happy one player decided to start hitting the balls of fire rather than the prophet which meant one less dps on the prophet i m sure lag has something to do with it as i was playing on a european server posted by redbeard at 10 59 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels failpug pugs swtor thursday december 7 2017 eve online adds to f2p i ve said before that i m not that likely to play eve online but i do keep an ear to the ground whenever major updates happen and this week s particular update has expanded the capability of f2p players within eve battlecruisers and battleships the mainstays of the large fleets are now available to f2p players while that by itself is impressive in order to not cripple a f2p player by giving them a ship without the skills to operate it effectively ccp has expanded the skillset of f2p players as well it all adds up to a big expansion of f2p players capabilities within eve online it s a great win for f2p players but i have to wonder as to the reasoning behind the move maybe they ccp has data that shows that they get a high rate of f2p to subscription movement and by adding capabilities to f2p ccp hopes to entice more people to subscribe or maybe they re looking at simply shoring up the number of people logging into eve on a given day but if nothing else these changes do make the f2p option for eve more appealing i guess we ll see how this shakes out in the months to come posted by redbeard at 8 01 am no comments email this
