Oooghaa Posted a Blog: The Unscheduled t1 Event tonight!
It started off with Eldhir, Tilthen, Hotpants, and I (Ceibhfhionn) attempting to do a hard pq in Mt Bloodhorn, I just don't think we had enough tanks and dps to pull it off in the alotted time. We were abundant on healers tho. A healer, archmage, and a warrior priest. Our only tank a swordmaster, was doing the best he could. After the initial failure of trying to be the timeclock I decided we should move to a little RvR. We started off by taking the objectives in Ekrund followed by Mount Bloodhorn...

Oooghaa Posted a Battle Recap: A Rough Start...but a Beautiful Ending!
The Warbands formed in Troll Country. The Warband I was in was ordered to Shadowlands. We all met up at the Shadowlands warcamp and proceeded to Spites. That is when it became apparant that elements of our warband had stayed in Troll Country. It took a bit longer to take Spites than i am sure we thought it would. Destruction rolled in behind us and made our first attempt a less than memorable battle, or moreso, one we wouldn't want to. But persistance paid off and those who stayed in Troll Country were able to secure it from destruction...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Ready for something new.
I can no longer fool myself. I am dissatisfied with Mythic/Ea/Bioware (or whatever they are branding themselves as this quarter) and the state of Warhammer Online. I've been teetering on the edge of frustration for a couple of weeks now. I've reached the tipping point I'm sad to say. I've just unsubscribed from Warhammer online. I hope that this action will serve a positive end. Somehow. Perhaps if enough people unsub EA will have to put some real money and effort into the game to bring us back...

Oooghaa Posted a Blog: People leaving Warhammer
So again the Badlands server is down for whatever reason. So I started looking over the Bioware forum and the umpteen threads about "I am quitting" or my favorite the "Organized Unsub". I have been a gamer since 1999 in that time I have played every somewhat decent MMO out there. All of them had problems at some point or another. Granted I have only been on Badlands for a short time and this could have been going on weeks if not months longer than I have been here. I just don't think it really makes sense to run from game to game avoiding server issues or gameplay issues...

Oooghaa Posted a Battle Recap: When Destruction doesnt learn the first 2 times.
As we had just taken Spites we kept doing a loop around to catch them between the Destruction warcamp and the thin tunnel to Spites. Not once, Not Twice, but Three times we were able to ambush them from behind by going out the postern of Spites and running the same loop. With great leadership of all the warbands Destruction stood little chance.

Oooghaa Posted a Blog: Switched my main.
So I have switched over from Rants as my main to Oooghaa, I have always been partial to healers anyways. Spent most of the day yesterday just leveling him up with my r/l son Benedic. Farmed some rats, did some RvR, all to push his leveling to get him to 12for the t2 event today. Really looking forward to that. Also was promoted to an officer of sots in Excessum.

Rants Posted a Blog: My move to Badlands...
So after playing Destruction on Iron rock for almost 6 months, before that I believe we were on Gorfang. My son and I decided to play Order. I did a few guild searches and finally stumbled upon Excessus. So I joined and a few hours later my son joined. The one thing I notice outside of this awesome alliance is that my guild is pretty tight with one another. The GM talks to everyone and congratulates them on everything. Most of the guilds I have been a part of in the past have not been active at all...

Craythur Posted a Blog: 50 things that would make Warhammer even more fun!
50 things that I think would make Warhammer online even more enjoyable. 1) Give us the option to toggle the flight animation to "off" so we can go straight to the zoning screen. 2) Let us enter the Hunters Vale instance at any level. It can remain a T1 instance if there are concerns about farming it for higher level gear/PQ drops. But let us 40's zone in and solo the lord for a cloak if we want to. 3) Remove the lock out timers for all city dungeons. Having more Sentinel gear and greater wards is not game breaking...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Zomg Hunter's Vale!
Zomg Huntersvale! Craythur was just a wee little Runepriest for the original Huntersvale Live Event. I have fuzzy recollections of taking part in a PQ in the RVR lake and hunting down all those tracks. That's about it. I was far too small and unconfident to be healing the Huntersvale instance at the time. So I didn't get the stag cloak. I came to regret that. Being able to shapeshift instantly and run to safety would have been handy on numerous occasions. Being able to run through the lower tier rvr lakes while not looking like a *ahem* "stout" free kill in a bath robe might have saved me from a couple of WE gankings...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Taking time to smell the (blood soaked) flowers.
I'm here for the ORVR. Anyone reading this blog knows that by now. Having said that, I sometimes miss picking flowers. Gathering flowers & Mining ore in that Other Game was something I always enjoyed. On occasion I find myself standing around in WAR wishing I could go gather things while everything was locked down by a city fight, T2 nights, or Dungeon run evenings. It would also give me something to do when I'm on the phone and can't really focus on killing players in the face(tm), healing killers, or beating up scripted PVE dungeon mobs/bosses...

Seabhran Posted a Battle Recap: Unbelievable Defense!
When we saw the first Destro running to our door at our newly claimed and upgraded Stoneclaw Castle, we knew we would have a hard fight. Destro has been roaming the battlefields with big hordes of caothic warriors, and we expected them to come in big numbers as the defense ensued. And they did. The first wave was not big, and it was too easy to repeal. After some minutes of fighting at the doors, we did a succesful push and Destro was sent running back to their Warcamp. And while we waited for the Dtick, we wondered if they would come back in real numbers this time...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Looking forward to something new.
The Warhammer forums & blogs are are lit up like a Christmas Tree over the bits and pieces of "RVR Pack" news. While the general handling of the release info could have been better it's great to see news about the games future coming out. Happily, there does look to be a future! It sounds like one of my Warhammer wishes are coming true. I think. Sort of. Details are a bit vague. Skaven will be playable in some form or another. Mythic has said more about how they won't work (you won't be able to level them from t1 for example) then how they will work...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Craythur's Craw: Dungeon Lockout Timers
And now for something completely different. In keeping with my grumpy reputation (I'm roleplaying! Really! lol) here's a Warhammer Mechanic I find difficult to swallow. Dungeon Lock Out Timers. Specifically, lock out timers for instances that are not end game instances. Given the gear gap between fresh forties and long time veterans would it really be game breaking to let folks kill Crypt/Tunnel bosses once every 24 hours? Once every 48 hours? You still have to be lucky enough for your class drop to, er, drop...

Celebtyr Posted a Blog: A long, long time ago, in a server, far, far... dead... ;)
Well hell... seems like forever since release eh...? Celebtyr is the re-encarnation of my very first char, Anarion (yeah, name filter bugged out and let me get away with this name :) on the long dead Ulthuan Server. It was kinda fun, though more frustrating than anything else. Destro was overpopulated, and we always had at least a 3:1 ratio on ORvR lakes at all times. Nonetheless, i've kept trying, eventually making it to 40. Then... what happened? Nothing. At all. T4 in Ulthuan was pretty much dead, several of the dungeons, instances, etc, etc, etc, didn't exist, and, given the completelly inbalanced demographic distribution between factions, most people started quitting, my old guild, Shadow Dragons among then...

Vampiresbane Posted a Blog: Giving “A Warm Welcome in the Nick of Time”
Boy it seems like eons ago to me when Craythur and I met. Arguably in a way it was the real “beginning” of my Warhammer career. I had previously played Destruction on a different server as a 40 sorceror, got so angry once I had found myself doing pve to get gear to pvp that I quit. I had done similar things in WoW and had vowed never to do it again. At the time, most players were doing Bastion Stairs and the various city dungeons to get geared up. The thing that set it off was that I had signed up earlier that week to join 5 others to do a dungeon at 6pm PST...

Seabhran Posted a Battle Recap: We fought!
That was a hard battle. Destro outnumbered us 5 to 2 and dominated the battlefields with iron hand. We fought valiantly to grasp at least some objectives and take some keeps, that could not be defended from the locust swarm of Destro that smashed at our doors moments after we captured. Many a time we stopped and gave them fight, but that was only for the glory of it. Most of the time these were battles we couldn't win. But we fought, ahh, we fought as if there wasn't another day to come. But there is another day! Battle for Badlands T2 is about to come...

Craythur Posted a Blog: A Warm Welcome in the Nick of Time
My return to WAR brought me to Phoenix Throne thanks to The Cotcast (now Multiplaying) crew. A planned server wise T2 Dwarf vs Greenskins convinced me to play here even though the podcast folks moved away from the game before I reactivated my account. This time around I was on my own. I had no friends to socialize with, no guild, and no real plan other than to see what had changed and try the game from another faction. I rolled Craythur and hit the ground running. I had decided to play a healer again to ensure I would have some group utility...
