Bioshocked

Bah, I found the stairs and went into the building and SAVED my game and my save isn't acknowledged.

This will be my fourth re-start rats, rats, rats.  Glug glug cough choke.

Neverwinter: When Free is So Not Free

Neverwinter had a promotion where you could log in and for a short window get a free wolf mount.

I had not logged in a long while though I find the game very enjoyable.  It wasn't clear how you would claim the pet. Usually you get a friendly pop up for log in rewards saying click here.  

No, you had to locate the Zen vendor npc and navigate through the "free" menu only to find that you needed to be level 20 and be able to use the mount in order to claim it.  

My character is level 18 so she couldn't claim it.  They might think a player would just play for the time it took to get those two levels and voila.

Normally I would have done that.

There was the game update time.  

Trotting around the city and the winter holiday area trying to find where to claim: a half hour?

All my skills were reset.  Choose again and re-learn the character class? I think not.

Dear Neverwinter:  if it is free, just give it to me, thanks.

Five Alive in Draenor

I finally crawled my main character to 100.  I could have done it sooner but I had done it over and over for months and bleh just wanted to float.   

I'm so happy to have my level three garrison again and I smile to think this time it won't be taken away.

Now to level the buildings, finish quest lines and dungeon dive.

Last night my Death Knight got to 90 and I took her to the Timeless Isle.  She only found a couple of armor pieces there.  I got twitchy to test her out in Draenor so off she went to talk to Khadgar.

I typically run a DK through the world as Blood and queue for dungeons as Frost. Somehow I've just been playing her as Frost and when I went to swap her to Blood for Draenor she felt weaker and as if she didn't have as many moves.  Maybe I just need to tweak her rotation.

Now that Ms Big is at max, I can move my Warlock, Paladin and Frost Mage along.

Crafting in Draenor continues to be a slog.  100 Hexweave cloth or 100 Truesteel Ingots for a single piece of armor and the most limited list of recipes ever.  

Cooking is loaded with recipes which makes it far more fun.  Even my son is cooking with his character and fishing!  Unheard of for him.

An awful armory pic of my DK:

Tiny Screen Adventures: The Longest Journey

Save after every conversation is my new motto.   Many aren't long, but our girl April is...the B Word.

You traditionally try to talk to everyone in this type of game to get information about the game and the world.  I take the most polite options offered but she still manages to blast everyone she meets with some rudeness.

We appear to be on a future earth but it isn't a sleek future.  Everything seems grungy.

Except for this park, of course.  

I'm hoping our April snaps out of her eternal witchiness and becomes likeable soon or she's sailing over the next cliff she comes to. 

Tiny Screen Adventures: Syberia

I hoped I would be spending a short time at the train station in Barrockstadt, but I'm still working to find a way to get the train moving again.

Because it has a clockwork mechanism, it needs to be wound up again before the journey can continue.  I found a winding tool of sorts.

In order to get my immobile train up there I need to:

Open some locks so a tugboat can pull the train forward.

Fix a mechanical bandstand for three University regents who must have graduated from Three Stooges University.

Recover a mammoth doll from a paleontologist who creates wine as a side hobby.

It may not sound like much to do but the path to accomplishing anything is very long.

A Few Moments of Relaxing Rift

Rift is my step out of every world into dreamy space place.  The music, the floaty movement of the npcs...so relaxing. 

I revisited my original characters and decided to back them up and skill up their crafts and achievements.

I had not found the Highest Point in Silverwood so I thought that was a short manageable thing to do.  I thought I could see the peak very easily from Sanctum.

Ha ha.  I scaled mountain after mountain it seemed and thought this must be it.  No.  Climb climb climb.  The next peak over always looked bigger.  And no achievement so I knew I hadn't found it.

Finally (PLINK) I have it.  Even though the next peak over looked higher yet.

Next up, I missed exploring the depths of two particular caves.

Merry Christmas!

Bioshock: Looking For The Ladder

I've been fiendishly finding games for my iPod and could not resist old favorite Bioshock.  It isn't compatible with the iPod but works fine on my phone.

It has been a long time since I played so I just started and I'm looking for a way up into the building so far without success. 

As you can see, the screen is dark and I am horribly distracted by the terrible glug glug drowning noises my guy keeps making.  Ack. 

Still, very cool to enter this world again from the comfort of my snugly couch.

Dragon Age Inquisition

For the first time in years I had a computer game to ask for for Christmas. I haven't even installed it yet but every mention of it I've seen so far makes me expect a great adventure.

Happy Gaming!

Pause To Buy

I was just reading a game review which talked about the constant interruptions of gameplay caused by your need to buy something to continue.

The phrase Pause To Buy covers this, right?  You can't advance successfully without constant reminders of the cash shop, and even if you can keep playing without paying, any immersion is gone.

This message brought to you before I hit the bottom of my first cup of coffee...zzzzz

Rejuvenation Potion...Rejuvenated

Ok the Rejuvenation Potion (That requires 500 Alchemy) I can make now no longer takes Crescent Oil and Crescent Fish Flesh, noooo it takes One Healing Tonic (a FIRST AID RECIPE) and One Draenic Mana Potion (Alchemy Recipe).

I currently have the skill and materials to make 2 Healing Tonics (10 Sea Scorpion Segments each).  I haven't done much with my first aid skills as you can see.

 


I have the recipe for the Draenic Mana Potion, at least.

I'd best step up my Sea Scorpion Fishing.  At least I can let everyone know they can make some potions if they have first aid skills.

Heading in the right direction, perhaps.

Tiny Screen Adventures: Syberia

I finally have left the mechanical city of Valadilene after much backtracking.  My companion Oscar the automaton was particularly torturous about taking my ticket.

I am a bit horrified to have made it out of one train station only to be apparently stuck in another.

I got truly stuck a couple of times and found help at The Adventure Lantern.

Tiny Screen Adventures: The Longest Journey

I have this for PC and I now recall I didn't get very far in the game.  I had been thinking it was some technical glitch, but I can see now that I stopped dead after The Longest Most Awful Conversation in all my gaming history. The two women pictured below have an interminable dialog about the apt. building they live in and its residents and everyone's love lives.  I thought I was gonna die.

I could not escape the conversation until every annoying tidbit had been discussed. JSM. 

Muttering terribly I made sure I saved the game once I was finally released.

As a side note, inventory items are combined by dragging one item on top of another.

I shall report back once I escape Slime Central.

Alchemy 700 Bo-ring

By grinding Stamina Flasks last night I easily made Alchemy 700 with my main character.  I can make myself health potions, but I cannot make a single Health Potion for my beloved guildies. 

I keep the Guild Bank Stocked with all the levels of Health Potions and more.  I cannot make a single Health Potion at Draenor level for anyone but myself.  That is no fun at all, and I can no longer take care of my peeps as I like to so they have a better experience playing with items I can craft for them.

Bah I say, bah.

More Tiny Adventures

You'll be pleased to know I figured out the trick of the jump in Tomb Raider's Caves though I haven't made it yet.  Mouse and keyboard ftw.  I'll get it.

Tomb Raider 2 has the same interface but allows you to start with Lara's mansion to practice your moves.  The butler and his rattling teacups must die.

Syberia continues to charm with its mechanical village. Sometimes the interact buttons don't seem to load animations properly but otherwise it is pretty immersive.

The Longest Journey has a nice introduction by Ragnar Tornquist. Graphically lovely as well on the small screen it should be a nice match for cozy adventuring.

 The inventory screen is nice and sharp but these objects aren't combining as I expect they should.

Galaxies Tuesday Bonus Round

From Favorite Dev Quotes.doc, my all time favorite dev quote:

Folks like me do not get to make those kind of calls. People who script/code are very similar to plumbers. If the bosses wants us to put a toilet in the center of the living room, we redirect the pipes, dig a hole and install that toilet in the center of the living room. I may be able to put one of those cakes in it that turns the water blue, but that toilet is going in the center of the living room.

Galaxies Tuesday: SonGouki's Obi Wan Guides

Mustafar.  What a dark, burning beautiful place.   It was one of my favorite places in all the galaxy.  It contained a ton of excellent quests and was a challenging place to go when you wanted a bit of adventure.

Too bad its introduction came with the most complete betrayal in gaming history.  I was in the beta for the area. For a month or so, everyone was really excited and the devs were very accessible and they answered every question they could.  Suddenly, they went quiet and didn't respond anymore.  People kept testing but nobody could figure out what happened.  Now we know.  Despite that, the planet for a great while (before being NGE-ized) was a fantastic place once it went live. 

Here's a guide to Mustafar:

INTRODUCTION                                                                                  Hello everyone, the following is my attempt at a complete guide to all of the new quests in the Trials of Obi-Wan expansion. I’ve tried to keep the guide ‘compressed’ in order to (hopefully) make it easier to read over and print. Be warned though, that due to the nature of this guide there will be minor spoilers, though I’ve tried to minimize them as much as possible. Using This Guide: The following coloring code is used throughout the guide: orange text = quest titles yellow text = task titles green text = quest rewards red text = enemy encounters blue text = waypoints Additionally, beside each quest title I’ve listed the combat details of the quest to help the non-combatants see which quests they’re able to do. Here’s how the ratings work out: [combat] = must have combat skills to complete the quest [combat (voluntary)] = combat skills may be used to complete the quest, but not necessary [non-combat, dangerous] = do not need combat skills, but required to travel into or encounter dangerous areas [non-combat, risky] = do not need combat skills, but required to travel through potentially risky areas (eg. general spawns) [non-combat, safe] = do not need combat skills and not required to travel through or encounter anything risking combat As a point of reference, in this guide I refer to a “Quest” as the overall entry in your Quest Journal (QJ) that you receive at the starting of it. A “Part” is an individual sub-item under the Quest title in the QJ, and is usually the current task that you must fulfill in order to receive the next Part, and eventually complete the Quest. Sometimes Quests lead to other Quests, forming a chain of Quests. These are referred to here as “Quest Series” (also known as Epic Quests). The numbers beside the quest titles are for reference only and not meant to indicate the order that the quest should be done. The only exception to this is quest series, which must be done in order. For links to pictures of rewards, bosses, and maps please go to the end of this guide. If you know of any quests not listed here, please post the name of the NPC or item that gives the quest and where they can be found (very important), I’ll take it from there. Also, if you have any corrections to the info here, please let me know as well. Thanks. Tips For This Expansion: The planet of Mustafar has no space zone, so you can’t fly your personal ship there, in space or by travelling. In fact, the only way there is to take a shuttle from Corellia or Talus. Getting around Mustafar can be a bit dangerous if you’re not careful, due to the liquid hot magma all over the place. Luckily all of the continents are connected to each other by bridges, so it is definitely possible to get to all areas without needing to singe yourself (though it can be a long trip, especially to Tulrus Isle and Berken’s Flow). With that being said, you can make it small distances over lava before you’ll melt, so it is possible to take shortcuts occasionally. However, the best way to take in that wonderful sulphur aroma is by using the Lava Flea Mount, a Desert Skiff, a Jetpack, or the Lava Skiff (not to be confused with the Desert Skiff), all of which can transport you over lava without harm. BTW, don’t forget about the new Abandon Quest feature! You can abandon any of the quests In Trials of Obi-Wan, even quest series. If you want to start the quest again simply talk to the NPC (or interact with the item) that originally started the quest. For quest series you don’t start over again at the beginning of the whole series, just at the current quest in the series that you were on. For Obi-Wan, you can use the Holocron at the Shore of Remorse to start over one of his Trial quests again if you abandoned it. Many quests in this expansion require that you kill a specific NPC or creature. These MOB’s will often spawn at a set location, which I usually include waypoints to in this guide. However, be aware that they usually do not spawn specifically for a quest holder, but are instead on re-spawn timers at that location. Also, sometimes there are placeholder MOB’s at the location where the quest MOB is supposed to spawn, which you must kill in order to allow the quest MOB to spawn. Even then though, the spawn is still usually on a timer, meaning you must kill the placeholder(s) repeatedly until the quest MOB spawns. Credit for killing quest MOB’s is the same as looting rights, the person/group that does the most damage gets it. Finally, the following is a post by the devs on NPC AI and the expected level of challenge from encounters (slightly outdated by the NGE, but still applicable): A number of changes have gone in recently changing the way NPC's behave in combat. Relative combat level difference combat modifiers have been adjusted. NPC's close to the players level +/- 2 will have less of a combat difference. NPC's far from the players level +/- 10 will have a greater difference. NPC Jedi specific skill modifiers are now being applied. NPC Jedi and pseudo Jedi (Nightsisters) should see receive a noticeable boost in their offensive and defensive capabilities. Elite and boss class NPC's have had their damage ranges adjusted. Average damage has been raised slightly and minimum damage has been raised by a moderate amount. Most NPC's have attained combat classes and can make use of abilities inherent to that class. These include defensive stances as well as powerful offensive attacks. Some NPC's have gained the ability to resist or be outright immune to some effects. These effects include root, snare, daze, attack slow and armor break. NPC's have had their chance to perform knockdown attacks greatly reduced. For reference, an even level con is roughly broken up into four categories. Normal: This is an even fight for one person Elite: This is intended for 2-3 players Boss: This is intended for 4-6 players Special Event: These encounters will often vary wildly, from the solo Lord Vartonis [edit] experience to the Kubaza Beetle Cavern event which was designed for 5-8 players. As you know many NPC's range up to level 90. A level 90 boss is intended to be a challenge for a full group of combat players. With that being said, if you’re looking for help with a quest don’t forget about the Planet chat tab. It’s a great way to hook up with others to handle those more difficulty encounters, and chances are there are other players on the same quest as you also looking for help. Trust me, you will need to group to complete some quests (in fact one of the dungeons requires that you have at least four people). So don’t be afraid to ask for help, or to offer it either.   Enjoy the guide and good luck on Mustafar!   Message Edited by SonGouki on 11-16-2005 08:41 PM - SonGouki "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Note that you can (and should) grab all the quests for each of the marker sets (seven total) from Keslev at the same time, they don’t have to be done individually. The Credits are rewarded automatically upon activating all the markers in an area. Return to Keslev when you’ve activated ALL of them to receive the Mounted Lava Lizard Heart reward and the badge. BTW, these markers also serve as great waypoints to a lot of quest destinations around Mustafar, so it’s a good idea to keep them handy.
