Even though there’s not a lot of News or Info or Interesting Stuff to post about.
Um …
Margie and I have been playing CoX (business trips permitting) pretty regularly over the last weeks. We’ve been mostly running the cohort of 20ishes we grew up through Rogues, playing with new Tip missions vs Evil Duplicate missions vs Plain Ol’ Police Band missions vs etc.
For a guy who hates crafting/auctioning, I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time at Wentworths (etc.) building up bankrolls by Buying Low and Selling High, mostly Special Enhancements and highly rare Invention Salvage.
By the way, the recent addition of a new Salvage tab that requires scrolling over in order to see the Invention tab? Highly irksome.
So, not much more to tell. Playing CoX. Having fun. Booyah.
Viz other games … well, never signed up for DCUO after doing the beta stuff — bright and shiny but annoying non-instanced missions and overly combat-oriented. Haven’t done any STO in ages, either — it didn’t float Margie’s boat, and ultimately felt too repetitive (though what it was repeating was rather cool).
We’re pretty much a CoX shop these days. And, for the time we have to spend, that’s not a bad thing.
Lots of folks coming back to the City these days after ventures into Champs and DCUO.
The only game that looks like a possible challenger in the near future is Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. I know the majority of my CoX friends plan to at least take it for a spin, including me! Fear is high that it’ll be WoW reskinned with light sabers, but judgement is reserved!
Meanwhile, the Paragon Studios folks keep pumping out the jams! Ummm, I mean, puming out the content, yeah, that’s what I said!
If you haven’t done the Mender Ramiel arc in Ouroborous you must, it’s a real treat! And even the low level Incarnate boosts are immediately noticeable. Although the level boost associated with the Rare and Very Rare boost is YUMMY!
In other news the Repeat Offenders took on the Citadel of Pain trial and once we got into the Storm Palace we took down the Aspect of Rularu in 17 minutes! Wahoo!
Looking forward to the Beast and Steampunk costume packs coming out SOON ™ and I20 sometime in the next 3 months. The Spring Fling event’s starting soon, and customers signed up through April will get all the Vanguard costume and weapon bits unlocked on their entire account!
It’s good to be in the City!
