So after deciding a while ago not to pick up TESO, I went back on my word after looking at how damn excited I was for the game about a year ago, and gave it a shot. Is it fun? Yes. Will I be subscribing? Eh...probably not, at least not yet, and here's a blog post on why, along with all the things I do really like about the game, of course. Disclaimer: Yes, I like the game, but I still had a few negative things to say about it. Also, it's worth noting that the game is really quite pretty.
Do you know what really grinds my gears? When people who don't have an unlimited amount of time to play their MMO of choice get deemed "casuals" and then get told they're not entitled to work hard and earn gear like the rest of the "hardcore" crowd. That's ridiculous. A "casual" player's achievement doesn't diminish your achievement, stop pretending it does!
@MykaB I agree, but I also feel more deeply about it as "casual" is a word used as an insult, and in this context has very little meaning. A person who is very skilled and adores the game might not have as much time to play as others. That shouldn't make them a "casual" player. I consider myself a hardcore gamer; I play 4ish hours every evening and pretty much all day at the weekends, though often in a few different games depending on my mood. I know I'm not like my friend who can dedicate 12 hours a day to games every day...but I shouldn't be less deserving of content.
People ask what my opinion is on "fake girl gamers". Honestly? I have a much higher opinion of them than the people who bash them. Here's a blog post on why I think the attitudes towards supposed "fakes" is harmful to the community.
Something I posted a little while ago that I thought might be useful to some people playing FFXIV but not necessarily at end-game yet. Have you just hit level 50, or are close to it, and have no idea where to start? Primals, Coil, Darklight, Zenith weapons...what the heck does it all mean? Check out the post for some tips!
Wondering whether you should pick up DayZ standalone or not? I've posted my first impressions, as a former DayZ mod player, up on my blog. Complete with screenshots of my snazzy Dallas (Payday) mask!
If you have ppl to play with, then YES...sure it's buggy but its alpha...I played the mod, and its great. If you like zombie survivel, and you have friends to join you, buy it.
Curious about Starbound? I've posted my first impressions up on my blog, including cute screenshots of my floran hanging out with my fiancé's glitch, who was modelled after GIR from Invader Zim, of course!
I absolutely love collecting artwork of my characters in games. I recently received a bunch of gorgeous art for my FFXIV character, come check it out! Do you ever collect art of your characters? I feel like it really brings the character alive & gives them depth, I love it!
What does a good guild need to have for you to feel at home? I've made a really long post about past guild drama and how it's taken me forever to find the right guild to call my home! Even if things are up in the air right now, I have some great guys to play games with. Thank you! (screenshot courtesy of Iolet from our FC!)
I hit level 50 on my CNJ/WHM! Screenshots and my future plans for FFXIV up on the blog, I love the WHM AF robe.
I'm going to be doing a spooky Halloween stream on Friday evening! Horror games and games with general creep factor, as well as some League of Legends with Harrowing skins! More info can be found on my blog. Hope to see you there!
Happy All Saints' Wake everyone! I absolutely love Halloween, both in real life and in video games, and FFXIV has been no exception. Hurray for adorable costumes!
@Knightgum yup, one is my work account and the other is my personal account. :)
If they deliver on their content update schedule I can see myself subbed for a very long time. I already paid for a 6 month sub, so after that first 6 months will be my long-term sub decision.
