so we finally got the pre-release and wow the headstart was amazing the best 5 days in a long time I picked the lancer to be my main going over the same quests was a little repetitive and slightly boring but in the group we had a Mystic (Tally) a Archer (carl)  and a Sorcerer(dred) and we pushed through them with reletive speed and ease coming upon the main city  I created the guild Darkened and invited everyone to join we finally had the beginings of something amazing. The inital response to the guild advert was awesome people joined seeing that we were a serious group of players we made many a new friend and other guildies who are a little shy and hope that they will open up once the events begin.
 
Off we went with our guild under our belts and high spirits the quests have been interesting and not too samey which is refreshing to see the landscape is beautiful and the monster fearfull. we hit our first dungeon at 20 which was Secret base our initial visit was slightly marred by the attempt of a slayer playing tank whilst I had a problem with that as I was the tank it ran fairly smoothly the bosses went down one by one and we had finally cleared it which pleased the group greatly since the beta where it crashed on the last boss.

Sinestral Manor was up next at level 26 and was beautiful to look at the a challenge as it was a multi level dungeon we downed all but the last boss due to the late hour and we just couldnt understand the mechanics first time we took the group we took one of our guildies Dranoc another fellow archer and Zoa again an archer and we put up a good fight since the monsters where hard and a challenge the next day we had found out the mechanics and went back a little better geared and a little wiser the smoothest run we had by far bosses fell and no trouble at all a piece of gold gear was obtained for myself and the next day it was the end of the headstart today we have all sat here quite lost with what to do with ourselves other members have joined us on vent and we have had a giggle but we all know that were clock watching for 11am tomorrow to come then we can all jump back in and get working on the guild and our characters till then toodles for now
Zoa having some fun with 15 elin oh dear :P
 
Ok so the past 3 days have been an utter blast as you can imagine I am fiercely hooked upon this game but lets start at the beginning before I just rant about how great a game is.. So three days ago I was informed about this new MMO released by ubisoft and that they had an open beta over the weekend and if I would like to play. Being a World of Warcraft player naturally I was skeptical of anything that would contest but I would entertain the idea for a while at least just to see what the next "WoW killer" had in store. I hit the website and studied each of the 7 classes and was quite curious by them all the 7 races where verging between entertaining, dark and sinister to the light and airy Initially I had picked out the Castanic Archer but later digressed to playing a PoPori Sorcerer.

After many hours of waiting for the install to download and patch I was in now I was excited met by the video introduction that taught me a bit of story line and showed me some of what I was to expect upon the world I was about to enter I clicked quickly noting that I could use my Razer Onza to play the game which at its best made me all the more intrigued about the game creating the character Decaydance ( the Castanic Archer) was amazing the variation was exceptional you really could go into depth with the facial construction to make it as different from anyone else giving you a unique avatar to wander the world in so after a few minutes I was ready a life look alike Castanic me was ready to roam the world.

Ok so the loading screen was up and bang I was in but I wasn't level 1? I was born into a character of level 20 they had a prelude area and wow it was amazing to give me a feel of exactly how the character would feel upon reaching higher levels the controls began a little clunky often finding it hard to guide myself around via the Onza but after a while it came like a second nature I was able to gracefully execute foes with deathly precision after killing a few mindless zombies carrying pick axes and torches I was confronted with a huge behemoth of a monster that a group of NPC's where locked in combat with naturally I jumped in and had a few shots myself to help them down it quicker.

Upon leaving that area I was crammed back into my level 1 character and soon joined the rest of the world and the other players in the realm I soon hooked up with Talies ( my Mystic friend) and chunkycarl (my Slayer/Archer buddy) soon to be followed by Inversed ( my strange sexually challenged friend he playes a girl and is a guy) and Dred ( our Tank Lancer) we tackled many a quest which I shall go into greater details come release as a) I cant remember it and b) it may change slightly.

But for now the 5 of us are now quite enamoured with the game and cant wait till these 4 days pass us by so we can get back in there and kick butt for goodness :) till next post take care guys
