Weekend Update: Oct. 14th, 2013 Canadian Turkey DayFollow

Thanksgiving weekend for Canadians (like me) so not much time in game as I was out having big dinners with family.

Did get my moon-loving druid into the 20s with some fun grouping. The guild is doing well, with 10ish alla posters now participating. A few people have rerolled and/or made an alt which our Lunar Madness concept is great for. I've neglected all my other characters on other servers for the past 2 weeks, which is probably the best testament to how much fun this has been.

How about the rest of you?

And a direct question to Bbot: Did you get back in game? What did you end up doing? (last update you were just downloading )

Re-rolled a warrior ( See Rhaah: the second coming... ), partially for the same reason Joph did. The DPS for the monk just wasn't fun. Now, I have played warriors so many times, and I am loving the new crazy Barbarian. Got him to 7 in the time it took me to get to 3 with the monk. Will work on him this week cause I really want to be able to be part of the groups rolling thru the moon...

Broons....that is a tough one. On the one hand, Necros can do very well with the least amount of gear, but on the other hand it stinks not to have any gear. I know I changed because as a Barb, I can wear almost anything that the cat people can wear.

But I also stayed in Halas to complete my cultural gear, I just made a story behind it to jive with how I then got to the moon...not that that REALLY matters, but adds some fun.

Maybe, if I can get some levels, we could take Trinmer and myself and you, and head to Unrest ( I'll come up with a story ) and hit up some gear there for you. Or some other zone that you find might help you out if you want to keep the Necro. Just let me know.

Of course, I am an alt-o-holic so understand if you start over...

Great to be playing with you...

Oh yeah...some cool caster gear in unrest....working on a backstory now...

I wasn't enjoying the paladin much so I rerolled a DK. I'm sure the pally has more options at higher lvls, but the low lvls were pretty boring. I'm enjoying the DK much more and already up to lvl 15. PC rocks for exp still. Stealing the pally's armor helped out, too.

I understand alt-o-holic, I've got friends who were the same in D&D, always rolling new pcs, I suppose there's fun to be had in just the creation of the character itself; but I tend to stick with the one so I'll likely stick with the nerco. I suppose it makes the theme of outsiders even more poignant being a caster among fighters on the moon, outsider of outsiders. Mad props to Val for doing the wizard up to that level here; I remember how rough it was for me, and that was with defiant gear (sans the robe naturally) and augs

Appreciate the offer for Unrest, and anytime anyone could use a 23 necro just let me know; but I want to keep her Luclin based. Because I tend to stick with one pc it was hard to tear myself away from Sym my Wizard so I came up with a story for the necro that allowed me to circumvent the aversion to making a second pc:

See Lilyblack's backstory doesn't exist, she just woke up by the city with no memory of how she got there or where she;'s from or even who she is. But the truth is that when Sym visited Luclin those many moons ago, and set up in the Twilight Sea castle, something unexplainable occured: she left a shadow on the moon. Now how this actually happened- what mystical conjunctions of mind and moon combined with what residues of memories past and futures dreamed- we may never know- but in the end, Lilyblack is really Sym: just a lunar version made of dreamshade. So she can't leave Luclin zones or else *poof* (though she can go PoK I added this after I figured out there's no spells or caster/guild of any kind in Shar Vahl area: but Sym is Wizard and PoK is basically Wizard plane manifest so necro can exist there as well

Aye Snail,
I had a celebratory Turkey dinner down here in Trinidad (Caribbean) also.. I'm from Canada too. Happy Thanksgiving !

This weekend in game was nothing other than a couple sessions each 2-3 hours long, continuing the grind process to level my main crew from 90 (91 for my main) to 95....eventually.
Got to 92 main, 91.3ish on the other two. Forgot how slow and tedious it can be as DB and white con mobs have waay more hit points than pre HOT days. Its going to be a serious grind...but I love it.

I finally was able to continue the Iksar pike quest on my warrior now that they fixed the geozite tool quest, I finished the 6th quest and leveled him up to 35. Was thinking about doing the whole story thing since I've been documenting the quests, but I don't think It'd be fair since I'm using defiant stuff.

Leveling a warrior with old school armor is really tough!

And the moon guild is also so tempting!

Any class is viable. I'd personally stay away from small races since an awful lot of lowbie gear excludes halflings, dwarves and gnomes. This is less of an issue the higher you level but it's annoying to see the scraps of pseudo-cloth armor in Shadeweaver's be unusable.

Of course, our highest level member (last I looked) is a dwarf paladin so anything is viable provided you don't mind the effort.

It's tough since my thesis' second revision is approaching. I only slept like 2 hours every day last week, I don't think I'd make much progress with so little time to play :/

Alright, i'mma make a moon frog warrior named Wizorb, who is also female, because her parents wanted a male wizard, so she ran away to the moon!

Some of us started a guild where we are just leveling on Luclin using drops from that expansion with no global drops allowed (Defiant, etc). We're having fun although it's obviously not for everyone.

Drift;
We are on the Cazic server and the guild is called Lunar Mutant Rights Now ( Snailish came up with that... ) Any guild member can invite you in and we would love to have you join us, for sure. Got everything from level 30 ( last I saw ) to level 8. And I'll even start an alt to keep you company...

Hope to see ya on...

Awesome!

I'm usually on my druid "Denth" (though this week is going to be sparse for playtime for me).


I love that Wizorb made Wizorb the warrior by the way...
