for gw2 4 comments may 31 2012 by randomessa well it s been a great run i ve been honored and humbled to participate in the newbie blogger initiative taking in the copious amounts of advice and experience being handed down from bloggers big and small i d like to think we all have a lot to learn from each other whether veteran or newbie at least i have learned a lot at y all s feet the past several weeks syp has the roundup information handled and summarized so all i can add is go forth and blog awesomely bio break this is it the final nbi link love list that i ll be putting out this month i promised nbi participants and interested onlookers that i d be compiling all of the new and newish undiscovered blogs that have emerged this month as well as all of the terrific advice that seasoned bloggers gave here we go new blogs to check out lotro family of flosiin nightsong red neckromonger casual aggro swtor from scratch elfkina vežička unwavering sentinel windy acres ranch tl dr

do it the wasd way middle earth initiative that was view original post 1 022 more words posted in uncategorized leave a comment nbi tips tricks hints and who am i kidding may 22 2012 by randomessa something about the fact that i ve had this blog for over 2 years qualifies me to give advice about how to start and grow a gaming blog of your very own i m not sure what it is exactly i guess there s a rather large graveyard of blogs that have died out and lost the plot long before they reach this point but i m happy to oblige with things i ve observed and had to learn myself over time thing the first know yourself you don t have to start as i did with a rambly introductory post laying out my cred yo or anything so severe as that but taking a moment to establish even if it s only in your own head where you re coming from can do wonders in launching a beacon that directs the content of your blog if ever you lose focus it can help to remember where you came from if you discover you re heading in a different direction hey that s a blog post topic right there thing the second find your niche even if that niche is being rambly and disjointed not every blogger can be everything i will never be able to collect and aggregate news like spinks i will never be able to analyze media like hunter i will never be able to come up with comedy like scarybooster i will never be able to find and appreciate feats of artistic expression like nugget what are you good at what makes you most prolific it may take some time before you find that out before you write something and get a great response and think aha so that s what i do but while you are trying to figure that out it s important that you thing the third write always write write down everything even if it reads like a ranting forum post even if you don t know how you re going to wrap it up in 3500 words or less write it down oh don t publish it not immediately anyway but i can t tell you the number of times i ve been stalled on posting to my blog because i wanted to write on some topic somewhere but couldn t make it work and after sitting down and writing out my thoughts i ve been able to let the topic go and move on to something else something better something more suited to my own style writing is a great way of getting over writer s block thing the fourth link when linked to i try to make it a point to link to anyone i know of who s linked to me if someone found me interesting enough to read and recommend i can find them interesting too for at least a month it s the circle of life and it moves us all besides i wouldn t have half the links on my blogroll if i didn t read things others recommended following breadcrumb trails as the ancient gaming noob refers to them from here to there thing the fifth find your own comment reply comfort level i would love to advise you to reply to every comment posted on your blog it s friendly it s engaging it drives traffic to your site and it creates friendships in this widespread blogosphere but i can t give advice i can t even adhere to myself the truth is that not all of us can come up with comment small talk not easily anyway and so my advice is to comment as much as you feel comfortable doing you ll get better at it promise and even if you still sometimes have moments when your brain seizes up and you go silent there is always next time this has been a public service announcement on the newbie blogger initiative and here have some new blogs to om nom nom hipstalotro hating hunters since before it was cool gnomegates a kinder gentler gevlon real adventures in fake worlds a lotro centric journey warcraft street can you tell me how to get the looney bin an eclectic soup of subjects and a fascinating layout blog on posted in nbi newbie blogger initiative 9 comments the secret world surprised me may 13 2012 by randomessa being the mmo junkie that i am i have been following the development of the secret world with some interest for the past few years despite the fact that it seemed in many ways to be the polar opposite of the kind of mmo i thought i d enjoy i mean it s set in the present day when i love medieval fantasy settings it s got a horror theme when i avoid the horror genre like the plague it s an arg when i dislike having to look up sources outside a game to progress it s gear based when i d rather bring my wits to a battle and it s got a raiding endgame when i d rather gnaw off my own arm than partake oh and it ll have a monthly subscription fee and i ve all but sworn those off still i couldn t help but be intrigued by the ideas being put out there by funcom and i ll be the first to admit that the first 30 or so levels of age of conan yes even the first few post tortage levels were some of the best story and most memorable times i ve had in an mmo a level less system appeals to the part of me that hates self enforced leveling pacts and funcom s eye for scenery and gorgeously replicating such can t really be denied so while i haven t pre ordered i did get on over to gamespot and nab a weekend beta key to try this out for myself and even though i d seen a ton of footage and read up on many of the game s systems i was still pleasantly surprised at how much i liked what i saw when i got to take the reins first the bad or maybe the meh character customization is limited there weren t very many female faces or combinations of features i could choose that made me feel i was looking at a real human nevermind whether i felt they straddled a believable range of attractiveness skin color was inexplicably tied to base face shape there were no varying ethnic hairstyles to correspond with the diverse thank you ethnic facial features on display no sliders makes a sad randomessa and i couldn t see a way to alter my body size or shape even to the degree that age of conan allowed it let me choose this old lady face funcom character animations are not very good in my opinion running is pretty bad jumping is quite awful in combat animations have no oomph to them i never feel like i m really hitting anything just swinging my arms through mush i couldn t figure out how to emote though in the case that i didn t miss something obvious beta is beta and that s one thing i m sure will be added in prior to launch quests whenever they more closely resembled typical mmo quests suffered from the same problems i have with them elsewhere waiting in line for spawns competing for interactable nodes etc however quests whenever they did not closely resemble typical mmo quests were a delight being able to put a random bit of knowledge to use in cracking a password was amusing having to decipher notes and apply recipes and talk to all manner of crazy people really mixed things up for me and having quest icons let me know right off the bat if what i d be asked to do involved wholesale slaughter or investigative work of some sort was just the kind of quest hint i appreciate as with age of conan npcs are fun to talk to about a wide range of subjects and they all are injected with quirky personalities that make them memorable after the fact i still remember the guy in tortage who hid the pearl in his hidey place for example and i ll remember kingsmouth s deputy andy for a long time as well i greatly enjoyed all the voice acting and the varied accents involved being neither a new or old englander i have no idea how cringe worthy they might have been for one from those regions i did guffaw with recognition at the fortune teller s southern californian nasal drawl though once i actually got down to fighting i quickly stopped minding the combat animations so much this is not to let funcom off the hook for not making them more impressive but i did find myself more interested in the effects i could apply and exploit and combining the skills of two weapons to be more effective there were plenty of circles of doom to step out of and big monster wind up tells which meant that animations or no i felt i constantly had to be on the move to get out of hairy situations alive getting out of combat mode is hard scenery wise i couldn t have asked for more and i did muse aloud that i think the secret world may have the best rendered trees i ve seen in an mmo yet having the in game clock displayed as a cell phone hud is ever so fitting and made me use the in game clock more readily than i have in other mmos that provide the same it probably helps that sunrise and sunset are done so well here with the light playing off structures in a really believable way i m reminded of lotro and fallen earth but i feel tsw takes it just that bit farther which makes sense given the release year not outdoor scenery but i love this shot all the same finally i wasn t sure how the level less system was going to feel in practice and i think it s clear that you are still gated in a sense by how many skill anima points you can put into building your skill trees i m sure you ll need skills more than 2 points deep and so on to beat certain bosses in missions etc but from what i could tell there was one very big gate missing for me as i progressed through the overarching storyline missions at no time was it suggested to me that i be of a certain capability before proceeding and i actually did skip most side missions just to see if i would be able to not only was i allowed to do this i could also still keep pace with the monsters the game threw at me even within story instances which is more than i can say for the previous two heavily story based mmos i recently beta tested i don t know if this is indicative of the rest of the game or just a case of beta trying to make it easy on us but i could not have been happier oh i ll do the side missions i have nothing against them but being the story fiend that i am if i had a common complaint to lodge against both sw tor and guild wars 2 it was that my major storyline was spread out over levels such that i had to engage in other activities before i could feasibly continue and i hate being restricted in that way not having levels meant both that the early zombies were not quite trivialized while still allowing me to see progress in my ability to take down harder enemies later i look forward to not facing down an exponential xp curve to acquire that next sp or ap dare i hope one riddle i can t seem to crack about the secret world is that of audience that is what is the audience funcom is going for and how big is it on the one hand i welcome the changes from the standard mmo both genre mechanics and content wise and i think this could be a really strong niche title with an amazing helpful tight knit community if it gets all the technical issues ironed out before launch on the other hand with ea backing it how happy would they be with a strong niche title i just don t see this going over well with a lot of crowds from the open pvpers to the action combat fans to the sandbox aficionados to the rush to endgame crowd yet it has the raiding and the gear progression and a subscription fee that seems to imply they expect more than a few folks to cross over from other games and make a home here i can t quite figure it out what would constitute a success for the secret world so now i find myself wondering whether the things i feel tsw does so well story interesting world and characters variety and complexity in gameplay stunning graphics really do trump the things that bug me like the odd old school resource competition a raiding end game with gear progression subscription fee and my qualms about the audience and success it may or may not achieve i don t have an answer yet but prior to this weekend i thought there was no question at all i m not convinced there isn t some illuminati mind control involved illuminati mind control and a soft focus lens posted in age of conan guild wars 2 mmos star wars the old republic the secret world 10 comments gw2 des war pqs may 4 2012 by randomessa
