Ok. The Curiosity Rover now has an open invitation to the Dark Council. "Interrogating" martian rocks via laser fire? Deliberately targeting Coronation? You'll fit in just fine.
Alas, that isn't my posting topic.
In my last post, I noted that I was taking a couple weeks of vacation from the SWTOR news cycle. I was worried about my enthusiasm for the game... particulary given that my guildmates have been Eeyore to my Pooh. (At least, I hope I'm Pooh? I'll settle for Owl. Please don't let me be Rabbit.)
Well, I goofed on that. Ended up reading the news. D'oh.
So I've completely returned to the land of Telara. I'd been playing Rift on the side for a month. Now I'm swapping to it completely. (Its the season, I think - Honor's Code did a similar return to Azeroth.)
So. Much. To. Do!
Unsurprisingly - this is Rift, after all - a ridiculously large amount of content has been released since I left in December. Two raids, instant adventures, Conquest (a giant PVP deathzerg), a mobile ap (?!), a PVP revamp, fishing(!!!), mentoring, ... . I'm sure I missed stuff.
Oh so much to learn. So much gear to get. I'm psyched.
I've found a new high-pop home (yay Faeblight! horray for free server transfers!) and have a great guild. I've got myself back to raid-ready and am rolling in gear. Time for a new world of myths to bust.
Defiant aren't big on superstition.
PS: To those still serving on the Dark Council: can someone get Curiosity to cover my quota of Jedi killing while I'm gone? Jedi spawn like rabbits without regular culling. And even then, some come back. Which causes problems with the EPA over ghost storage. Messy.
Just out of curiosity (bad thing to say considering the title of your post, but still), what was it that you read that had such a negative effect on your feelings about the game?
ReplyDeleteHow are there not more Curiosity jokes on the internet? So far all I've seen is http://cheezburger.com/6508201984
DeleteAnyway, the last straw for me was the Jeff Hickman interview I linked. He floated the idea of buying power. Ok, so its not for sure, and its ages away, and we're not even certain what its about, but thats a flip-the-table issue for me.
In that moment, I stopped, thought about SWTOR, and realized that I was having more fun in Rift (my side MMO).
D'oh, I completely missed the fact that you had a link in the post. Fail.
