Text of the page (random words):
nto 5e well with some modifications so there you have it i did play dark age of camelot a bit last night and it was fun teamed up with random pug which turned out to be not a pug at all just a long time player partnered with a bot who hit pretty hard it was still fun more on that some other time posted in azeroth adventures dark age of camelot dungeons and dreagons online tagged blizzard dark age of camelot ddo mmo mmorpg world of warcraft wow 1 comment why didn t i know ddo hardcore was a thing posted on january 24 2022 by tyroshutterbug i think at some point in my long history of playing ddo ok so it is admittedly a checkered history because i have left the game to play other mmos for long periods of time i must have been made aware that there was a hardcore mode for the game if not a dedicated server for this ruleset i am saddened by the fact that this is not a permanent situation on ddo as it is in classic wow to name another popular venue for hc mode as i mentioned back in december of last year when i was heavily into trying to make it to level 60 without dying a feat that seems almost impossible at times in classic without dedicating a major amount of time to it as a casual gamer and definitely a casual in mmos i grew weary with this seemingly futile endeavor and quit lo and behold i came across someone who vlogs at the official ddo youtube channel and he made me aware that indeed there is much hc action happening on a dedicated server and evidently this happens a few times per year how did i not know this mind blown courtesy of jman1784 gifs on tenor so of course i rolled up a character on the official ddo hc server even though the hc season only goes for another week and managed to level 2 in one afternoon where i played a good 3 to 4 hours i didn t come close to dying but that was only because i did not get too far past the korthos island tutorial and a few other quests before moving on my ddo hc elf so behold carric the stealthy he is an elf and hails from khorvaire mostly because i was too cheap to spring for a paid race in the early levels for a character who may or may not make it out alive in this rule set no that would just be dumb can t musn t get attached that was something i did not do in the classic wow hc server become attached which goes counter to having a main in your favorite mmo unless of course you suffer from altoholism i have had a touch of that once or twice even with blogs retro mmo wasn t by any means my first blog but i am aiming for it to be my last in 2022 kimber cotely please train me what do you mean i don t have enough action points also get a load of this in all my years even though i am sporting a 15 year anniversary cloak to show how much i love the game i never played a ranger what why not i love playing rangers in the tabletop version of the game i reasoned that it was because i like melee more than ranged attacks in mmos which is basically true but i corrected this oversight with this latest ddo toon heal me you heal hire do as thy is commanded as an aside because i did not feel like doing the entire korthos island story line and all the familiar quests i sidestepped it completely and moved on to the keep on the borderlands after traveling to the harbor it may prove to be a bad idea for a level 2 ranger but hey not getting attached remember good moving on i hate puzzles i suck at solving ddo puzzles and after a few hours trying this one i flat out gave up twas an ordeal and a bad idea to try level 1 starting out on the hc journey in an official server until feb 1 then a free transfer so yes it felt great to be back in ddo yes it was nice to visit the inn again wayward lobster no that is the harbor inn i think but i felt like a flake reading back on my posts from november and late 2021 in which i envisioned posting more about my ddo and classic wow adventures but hey it s a newish year and the good news is that even after the latest ddo hc season ends next week i can for free transfer the elf main to a new home a permanent server if he survives this week and yes i plan to get back on track both with this blog and with my gaming goals overall any suggestions from you ddo vets to which server he should make a permanent home in the eventuality death does not come to him i leave you with this because reacting to mmo and ddo youtubers will also be apparently a thing in 2022 posted in dungeons and dreagons online tagged ddo dungeons and dragons hardcore mmo mmorpg 4 comments som casual hardcore mode posted on december 7 2021 by tyroshutterbug casual hardcore isn t that a contradiction of terms well not when it comes to my approach to classic wow i am still doing the hardcore challenge on the new fresh servers but i can only play casually during the week i calculated that since i resubbed i atually have played an average of about an hour a day which explains why my orc rogue jadegiant has barely dinged to level 7 and i have died twice confused about the hardcore challenge want to know more about my mmo adventures in old azeroth check out this video i dropped for my youtube d d channel where i also play mmos based on d d and some like classic that are derivative of my favorite pen and paper rpg you can also message me in game on the shadowstrike pve server on the horde side goodbye dwarf hunter we hardly knew ye posted in azeroth adventures mmo game reviews tagged blizzard hardcore challenge mmo mmorpg world of warcraft wow leave a comment season of mastery day 5 the push for 60 posted on november 21 2021 by tyroshutterbug skin and bones is still kicking in classic azeroth a little bit over 10 hours in five days is what i have been able to commit to som thus far in the nightfall server where skinandbones the undead warrior is still kicking having dinged level 9 recently but just to make things more interesting we decided to take up the hardcore challenge and though we have come close to death a few times running away to fight another day has been the answer to a few tight spots skin and bones after his latest kill but it came at a price we took on the rot hide graverobbers and mongrels even though they kept putting the curse on us that s not the spirit of the artists formerly known as prince that s s b after his latest kill that will show you stupid gnoll not to mess with the undead lest you be dead putrid claws returned 40 percent xp check progress achieved only 51 more levels to go do you have those putrid claws yes and after i figured out that the best way to get them was to lure those stupid zombies from under the bridge to the guard which killed them every time it got less dicey despite the repetitive nature of the task a lot of us have answered the call and a lot of us are not making it through to wit posted in azeroth adventures tagged hardcore challenge mmo mmorpg world of warcraft wow leave a comment s o m day 1 in classic wow posted on november 18 2021 by tyroshutterbug recently i discovered that hardcore mode is a thing in classic wow why didn t anyone tell me that this was an option back in the pre tbc expansion this would have been a perfect solution for the mmo doldrums which accompanied the servers at the time in case you were clueless like me and had no idea what hardcore mode was all about essentially it is a previously unofficial way of adding permadeth options into the classic servers the main rule of this ruleset is level to 60 with one life you die you delete the character or you leave it as a ghost i guess i have youtuber doveskie for informing me about this fun challenge i think i attempted it before about 4 years ago when it was called the iron man but this is a variation of that ruleset doveskie tries to level to 60 with her rogue but is having a heck of a go of it she obviously has way too much tine on her hands there s even a cool website set up explaining the rules and welcoming the community now i was already going to go back to classic in order to experience the launch of the fresh servers i am a sucker for new servers there is something very appealing about joining a new server and seeing all those players running around starting the journey to max level holy heck look at all the players in deathknell at the undead starting zone i know so well skinandbones was born shortly after launch and the handy dandy who command revealed the presence of 50 players in the lowbie newbie zone before long i was doing the quest where you kill all the spiders outside the cave and even though i was invited to a group grouping in the open world is a no no in hardcore so goodbye to pugs this is a journey which i make alone or literally die trying well i guess still figuratively dying in game i could not get attached to my undead warrior because who knows how far he can go and that s kinda the point and where all the fun is taking on the rattlecages waiting for the mobs to respawn the whole thing brought back memories of when classic was new and back in 2019 pre covid and before i grew tired of it all but this time i vowed it would be different i don t think i have the fortitude to start undead from scratch in the same zone like doveskie but i do think that my strategy will consist of trying out new race and class combos every time for variety s sake i think i would go mad re rolling the same toon in the same zone over and over hey there my queen you don t know you will be queen yet but just wait my queen patience by my second day in the server i had achieved level 6 i ended my day in the undercity where i made it official by visiting the npc and grabbing the soul of iron i know i know that actually happened with only about 3 5 hours of play but i did take a long break to work today i am off all next week though for thanksgiving vacation so that maybe a good time to see how far i can take skinandbones will he survive or will he perish in the harsh cold world of azeroth come back next week for the next warcraft wednesday and we shall find out together posted in azeroth adventures tagged blizzard classic mmo mmorpg s o m season of mastery warcraft wednesdays world of warcraft wow leave a comment ddo tuesday and warcraft wednesdays coming to retrogamer blog posted on november 10 2021 by tyroshutterbug when you are going up against bugbears kobolds and hobgoblins in ddo best along to bring a healing hire if you are soloing the wilderness area it is not often that you get a second chance at anything in life however earlier this month i found out that wow classic is dropping fresh server and realms on november 16 and i all i could do is smile and think to myself i m in the year was 2019 and it does not seem that long ago that i had dedicated myself to going back in time gaming time that is along with seemingly hundreds thousands of nostalgic wow players and rolled up a character for the upcoming classic server launch well fast forward to the end of 2021 and i regrettably didn t get very far in my previous endeavor to casually level a toon in the new classic server with work and rl getting in the way soon the expansion dropped and i lost interest in classic especially after the servers seemingly became ghost town empty realms as everyone else had jumped to tbc by now most of you know blizzard is planning to drop what they are calling their season of mastery servers but in case you were out to lunch when the announcement was made like i was here is some info with all the deets well i have not been updating the old blog because frankly i have not been playing a lot of mmos even in the casual manner in which i am accustomed to because these days most of my free time has been spent vloging on my youtube channel dedicated to d d and not playing many mmos that changed this evening when i decided to dust off my level 4 soon to be 5 barbarian on ddo this is the game i want to play when i am not leveling up in classic for one thing this is the best time to be getting back into ddo players ca use the coupon code ddoquests2021 between now and the end of the year through december 31st 2021 to get all of the game s currently available adventure packs for free take a hire and solo an area or dungeon of your choosing in ddo i went to the inn after a few quests because that is what you do in stormreach and practically every other mmo and fantasy game in the history of fantasy gaming so until wow classic fresh servers drop a week from today and i am once again able to roll up un undead warrior rogue or caster to fight for the horde in classic azeroth i will be biding my time with my alternate mmo of choice this is my casual gaming schedule and blogging plan ddo tuesdays warcraft classic wednesdays everquest 2 over the weekends or whenever i need a break from the other two won t you join me and come along for the ride it s gonna be epic well maybe not epic but i guarantee community and fun posted in dungeons and dreagons online tagged d d ddo dungeons and dragons mmo mmorpg 1 comment return to norrath in the antonia bayle server posted on october 26 2021 by tyroshutterbug the most important command in any retro mmo nowadays is probably the who command this is because if you want to know your server or zone population that magic command will let you know how many other players are sharing in your mmo adventure at the time i personally had been itching to get back into mmo gaming but have been more occupied with d d tabletop gaming since i joined a gaming group in my local hobby store which observes all the covid protocols including masking for those not vaccinated and plenty of social distancing last night i decided to fire up everquest 2 and although for some reason i could not find the character i created just the week before i decided to start from scratch on the antonia bayle server with a dwarf guardian seemed tanky enough for me to enjoy playing according to the eq2 wiki the guardian is the front line force in a party combining the power of armored protection and physical prowess the guardian can take large amounts of physical damage from enemies and remain standing this style of combat requires the guardian to be in close range with his target at all times the guardian s role allows the less resilient members of his party to perform their roles more effectively i made my way back to the queen s colony and it was just as i remembered it first stop was training with hayl mcguinness a master of combat training who helped me reacquaint myself with ranged and melee combat before i knew it i had dinged multiple levels and was making my way through the newbie zone quests until i ran into deianeira who is an npc with some philosophical deep thoughts on the old d d alignment or who seemed to be conflicted about her nature in the universe and the distinction between good and evil all those around here who are good avoid me because i was born evil i grew up in freeport does that make them better than me somehow yet i must be evil i can sense the evil in others who the hell knows lady i am just an e...
