Where Creep’s At – Steam and World of Warcraft

Posted on by

WoW With Moms- Paladin and Mage

Well I’m taking a break from Fallen Earth. The latest content drop, a PvP zone, while totally necessary for the game, doesn’t really do much for me. So I’m keeping an eye on Fallen Earth and I might get back there once in a while to see what’s new.

Like the saying goes though, no rest for the wicked. Well and or those willing to fill out a 4 man team or walk around as a plate wearing rez bot.

I do so love being a healer, ok well I love being a damage dealer that can throw heals when needed. That’s what I really love. That’s part of why I’m not really in Fallen Earth at the moment, my healing toon has left me a little unfulfilled. There’s good reason for that and I may blog on the issue later. For now though, I’m gonna focus on what I am doing at the moment.

First off, I finally have a Steam account and I played Dungeon Defenders with Hoofhearted and Nufan from my old Fallen Earth clan KAOS. Those two by the way always crack me up.

We played Dungeon Defenders. Not a bad way to spend some time. It’s in depth enough that it makes you think but just light enough that it doesn’t feel like a grind.

It is a tower defense game, but it also ties in some nifty hero features. I enjoyed it. I liked the tactical side of the game, figuring out where to put what to keep the crystal thingies from getting destroyed. Good times.

Yes I said thingies, that is a technical term here. Deal with it.

If I play again though I think I might want to try a melee toon. See what that’s about. I played the Mage class last time. That was pretty fun. Sadly though I’m learning I’m more of an in your face melee kinda gal. It’s just more fun that way.

Next up, I’m also in World of Warcraft again, helping my mother level her Mage. That can be quite an adventure. Especially when I see her health halfway down and I hear “I’ve made friends”.

It means I get to play the hero. I usually end up getting to her just in time, I pull off aggro, beat the crap out of the mobs, heal Moms, lather, rinse, repeat.

OK that and running with a Mage has it’s advantages. I round up a bunch of mobs and keep their attention (which is very easy to do with a Retribution Paladin). Mom’s Mage does a little rain of ice, and boom, ten rats down.

And good times were to be had by all. Well by me and Mom, that’s what counts.

Tyrael's Charger

Anywho, I do have the Annual Pass. That means I now have Tyrael’s Charger, the fancy mount promised to folks who picked up the Annual Pass when the “Hour of Twilight” patch 4.3 dropped.

As you can see it’s shiny. It also scales with training. So once I manage to get about 3,000 or so more gold and get Artisan Riding, this pretty mount will increase in speed. That means I don’t have to buy a new mount to take advantage of the swifter flight speeds.

On a side note, I also like the mount looks on Paladin Geistig. At the very least it’s more of a Paladin mount than the huge elephant (Elekk). For some reason they changed the Draenei Paladin mounts to a fancy Elekk over the classic Paladin Mount.

It almost ruined being a Paladin for me. It’s not a big deal though since we use flying mounts more in the game now. Honestly I’m loving it. During the Halloween thing me and Moms were flying all over the place. It was pretty awesome.

So while I should be doing the “you kids today don’t know what it was like having to run all over the damn place”. Honestly I think it’s a good thing.

No one likes leveling and everyone’s at the end game raiding. Making people take more time to level up is a bit of a waste. That and if they get frustrated and quit, then that’s lost revenue. It means change but hey, if people are paying for the ticket, they should be able to ride the ride.

I know, I know, I should be at the end game too. Thing is though, I do want to help out my Mom, so we’re going at a bit of a snail’s pace.

If Moms buggs out of playing I may just hit 85 doing nothing but dungeons. I so LOVE dungeons. In the end who knows.

Well to wrap things up, if you’re bored and you play WoW, I’m on Rexxar as Geistig a Paladin of the Alliance. Feel free to pester me.

But I may also spend some time on Steam as, yep you guessed it, CreepTheProphet.

Until next time, go kill something, in game of course.

I will be, in game of course.

Fallen Earth: Public Test Server Going Live

Posted on by

Under a rubble heap in LA

Yeah buddy, the Fallen Earth PTS (Public Test Server) is coming back.

I’m kind of excited about this since it means testing out the new faction control areas and the world events.

Hopefully I’ll have some time to jump into it.

It’s due to go live Wednesday (11/15). Check out the G1 webby here to find out how to set it up.

Fallen Earth: Patch 2.1 Live and the PTS Returns

Posted on by

Stopping at the Stairway

OK if you want you can check out the patch notes for 2.1 here. 2.1 is mostly bug and bonus fixing with a couple of coolness features here and there.

3 BIG items
Progress towns won’t lose buildings via server restart.
Geology and Nature kits are no longer required (that clears up some room in the pack).
And all crafting facilities are now universal.

Now the really big news is the PTS (Public Test Server). According to the news on the FE website the PTS is due to return this month. No time set yet.

It will however have the World Events and Faction Territory Control. Evidently Faction Territory Control will actually have a new zone all to it’s self.

The details for both the World Events and Faction Territory Control sound pretty wicked.

Successful World Events will reward PVE players after they fight off waves of whatever or some giant monster. It does look like it’ll be a different mechanic than Progress Towns so that should be interesting.

Faction Territory Control will actually let a faction take over a town and set up in a keep within that town. While at first they sound like your normal progress towns, they really aren’t. Each one of these areas are going to have 13 points to capture with 7 inside a keep the players can defend, with the other 6 standing out in the open making them harder to defend.

There’s a lot more to it, but until it’s live I’m not going to worry about the details. You can check out the screenies and more over at the Fallen Earth Dev Blog.

Until next time, I’m gonna go get lost in the wastes.

A Little Fallen Earth A Little World of Warcraft

Posted on by

Trick or Treat

Figured I’d put up a little post on what I’m up to. I’m still spending most of my game time in Fallen Earth. That’s not going to change (even changed out for a year sub). Thing is I also picked up WoW again to run around with Moms. Yes I play World of Warcraft with my Mom. Running around Azeroth getting lost, getting her killed, and having a good time while doing it.

Her system can’t handle playing Fallen Earth (trust me I tried a few months ago out of desperation, no bueno). It can play WoW though.

They also have a pretty interesting promotion going right now where signing up for a year gives you an in game mount Diablo 3 themed, a copy of Diablo 3, AND BETA ACCESS! I’m such a sucker for beta access.

They’ve announced the Panderia expansion and so I figured, what the hell. I know I’m gonna buy it unless I’m totally broke so I might as well just be ready to dink around in it.

I mean hell, Moms and I were hiding out during the WoW zombie apocalypse before Wrath of the Lich King was released. We also watched as Azeroth was changed forever when Cataclysm hit.

Why would we miss out on rolling a couple of fat and sassy drunken masters (Pandarian Monks). No no… I don’t care what it’s really called, I will call mine drunken master. End of story. Because it’s effing hilarious.

Safe to say I’m signed up for a year of WoW.

The bastards finally found a way to get a full year sub out of me. *facepalms*

Haunted....

It’s not Fallen Earth though. I still love FE. Oh and I decided to sub up for a full year of Fallen Earth too. I couldn’t sub up for a year of WoW and not sub up for a year of Fallen Earth.

Yeah it’s pricy, but seriously, I don’t have a whole lot else going on right now. I might as well take advantage of the situation and game like a mad woman while I still can.

OH!!! I’ve finally hit 180 cooking crafting on Geistig. I’m not too worried about getting it up too much further at this point and I’ll probably go back and research it soon.

Geistig is by the way, is full crafter capable (which means her tradeskills can get up to 196, the current cap). Sadly though cooking is the highest tradeskill I have at the moment.

With the new system I need to spend a lot of time digging in trash (scavenging/harvesting/mining) to 1) have crap I can sell on the AH for some chips and 2) have enough crafting mats to continue leveling. Personally I love just wandering around FE digging in trash all on my lonesome.

I think now I need to focus on Weapons Crafting and research. There’s not really a weapons crafter in The Reavers and since there’s a lot of Melee folks in the clan it’d just be a good idea to have a researched Weapons Crafter.

After that I figure I can work on Armor crafting, maybe even construction, who knows.

I still have a lot of work to do on Geistig and looking forward to it.

I am stepping out of PvP though. True dedication to PvP just takes more time than I can allocate right now. Even though I’d love to be a hard core player, I gotta face it, I just don’t have the attention span for that lol.

I did leave KAOS. It’s not because I don’t love the clan, I still totally do and all the guys/gals in KAOS, end of story, no questions asked.

I was just starting to spend more time with The Reavers, and I really feel like they could use another crafter. That AND I miss getting into crazy RP situations on Geistig. The community just isn’t the same without her throwing monkey wrenches in EVERYONE’s plans.

It’s just how she rolls. You never know what to expect from Geistig.

That AND right now there’s a kid in The Reavers (Canni Belle) who’s stuck in Lifenet. She’s randomly popping around from one cloner to another (using the new Fast Travel system) haunting whoever manages to end up in the cloner at the time.

Safe to say this close to Halloween it’s pretty freakin’ epic.

Yes it’s nerdy and silly, but it’s also creative and fun. Well if you’re a person that likes a good story.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……

In World of Warcraft I’ll be on either Geistig the Unholy Death Knight (Uldam) or Geistig the Retribution Paladin (Rexxar). I know talk about a mix right?

In Fallen Earth, I’ll be on Geistig. There really is no description for this Geistig, so you’ll just have to roll with it.

Fallen Earth: Stable Server and Lots of Playtime

Posted on by

Chilling in Citadel

On October 20th the FE team released a server side patch that, so far, has stabilized the server. For the last few days the game hasn’t totally crashed out. A lot of the low level areas are still pretty laggy with all of the new blood, but they’re not crashing. That’s a plus.

At this point I’m back on Geistig for a while trying to finish up her crafting, AP capping and so on. Good times right?

That and I want to get some higher end scavenging in to try to pick up some chips.

So if you’re hanging out in the wastelands and have any questions or just want someone to harass hit me up on Geistig. I’ll probably be digging in trash or raising hell somewhere.
