Yes, it’s been a long dry patch. Well, for me at least. Margie’s been busy as a bee playing CoX, as well as [REDACTED DUE TO SOMETHING WE CAN’T TALK ABOUT OR WRITE ABOUT OR EVEN HINT AT, REALLY].
Still, on Wednesday night, we ended up going in and playing some CoX, and I’ll admit I was totally embarrassed at some of the oohing and aahing I made at the New, Improve, Old-to-the-Rest-of-You Auction House interface. Eleventy-zillion percent better.
We ran around with Araware and Fazenda, had a fun time, leveled to 31, looked at the Storm Knights roster and were a bit sad, then whomped on bad guys.
Cue the trials and travails with my laptop. Timing is everything. Rrg.
Sunday afternoon, we spent a goodly chunk of time playing our first STO in a long time. (I think we didn’t play during any of Season 1.1, and now it’s 1.2, crikey!) Finished the City on the Edge of Never arc (which was much easier in a duo than soloing), got up to LC4, good times had by all, etc.
Nothing wild or exciting or mind-bending (though getting eleventy-zillion accolades when we signed onto STO was kind of trippy). Just some gaming fun. About time.
So, I hear that Going Rogue Beta is pretty cool. Although that might be the super secret Star Wars: The Old Republic Beta. Hmmmmmm . . . .I will continue speculating as I wander away mumbling about how I NEVER get into Betas . . . .
Yeah, it was truely shocking to see you both online in STO Sunday.
So, where you running the missions on Easy or Advanced? Do not try Elite, it is the unpossible setting.
The main QoL item 1.2 of interest:
New Feature: Squad Support
-Which is the same as Mentoring/Sidekicking.

Season 2 has a whole bunch of goodies in store.
I would probably play STO more if I had somebody to play with. The friend I duo with in LotRO doesn’t play STO, and my Fleet isn’t as closely knit as my Kinship. For some reason, soloing in STO feels lonelier than it does in LotRO. As for CO, I have pretty much forgotten about it. Avocet is languishing. 🙁
@Arty: Yup, lots of cool betas out there. Though I could only not speak in detail about one of them.
@BD: Yeah, noticed the “squad” thing with the mentoring and leveling and all. Made some minor use of it, since, for some reason, Margie and my higher mains are out of sync.
Thanks for the Season crossref.
@Avo: 🙁 Well, we’re no longer on CO, haven’t gotten back on to LotRO, and are obviously only intermittent on pretty much anything. 😛
STO Season 2 came out today, lots of really nice things added to the game, Spent the weekend play testing it and doing bug reports.
Oddly enough, I’ve found myself playing CO a bit lately. Perhaps tomorrow (err… later today, that is) I’ll try some STO. If you see @AmAvocet online, BD, give me a holler.
