Check-in

Hey all

not long til christmas now :D starting to get excited lol

mostly been playing WAR and grinding for the live event.

currently i have killed a rediculous number of mobs and have still not even seen a drop of the rare backpack!! This is starting to annoy me as i REALLY want it!

other than that, i have completed all but one of the quests for the "Keg Slayer" title, i still need another 8 massive ogres. If u ask me - killing 20 heroes was pretty bad design - i'm sure only 5 - 10 would have been enough - add to that that the rewards are pretty lame - unless like me you just want to complete it because you can - there really isn't much point in bothering.

Anyway - need to go shoping so see you all later

WAR - Xmas event announced!

The christmas WAR event was annouced today

it looks mildly interesting (although i would personally have prefered the dev time was spent on balance, fixing the numerous bugs, and making some long term content)

anyway its called "Keg End" and is all about the Dwarf beer festival really.

one of the "goodies" available in the event, in the form of a rare world drop, is the "Battlebrew Backpack", which I personally think looks awesome - and i definately wanna get hold of for my engineer.

Picture of the backpack

The event influence rewards are as follows

• Basic - Exclusive in-game title "The Drunkard"
• Advanced - Unique Stein Trophy
• Elite - The Last Call Keg (returns the player to the City Pub)

Personally i think the new title "Thhe Drunkard" is quite funny - and again i'd like on my chars, although its clearly going to barely exclusive - basically anyone who is subbed up for the 3 weeks of the event will be able to unlock it in like an hour tops!

Also the Elite reward seems pretty helpful, particularly if you dont have a guild with access to the the guild recall scrolls, or just as an alternative and quick way back to the city.

Oh and supposedly there are two new emotes (GREAT - who cares) /boast and /toast , that supposedly durign the event, if the emotes are used at certain times may unlock stuff in the tome. - meh seems pointless

WAR - OYG finally nerfed

So On Your Guard! a Knight of the Blazing Sun ability finally gets nerfed after 2 weeks (since the class was released) of constant complaints from Destro players.

A bit sad to see this happened really - i personally thought the aura was fine like it was - and actually provided the Knight with an ability fot to fulfil its anti-melee role.

The changes are detailed below:

On Your Guard!: This ability will now damage a target a maximum of once every two seconds. This applies to instances of multiple Knights casting this aura in the same party.
