What a day, wake up at 3am with exams the next day trying to play Warhammer and I find that my internet is down. Here I am trying to get it to work for the next hour... I figure it's not getting back up any time soon so I go back to sleep... No WAR very disappointed. 8 Hours later! The internet is back up and I have my parents down my back 'stop playing that game, you should be studying!'
While waiting those hours, I spent time thinking about what career to play. I had always played a DPS class in WoW, I liked the aspect of healing and I used to try and heal on a friends account, its pretty fun. So I went what the heck, I originally planned to be a Zealot, so here I am Cailaris - Chaos Zealot!
Unfortunately the Zealot does not have some awesome well thought out class mechanic like the Shaman or Sorceress, but he is basically (as far as I can tell) the main healer for the destruction side. You start out with an instant heal and a damage spell, finally I am rank 9 between the 2 days I have been playing (exams > me) and have got about 4 damage spells, and about 5-6 healing spells. One massive spell that is obtained by Morale - Divine Favor
This baby works so well in RvR, but has a bitch of a cool down (feels like forever) but when used correctly (such as on myself) it really does make a difference.
Upon my travels I finally went to The Inevitable City, again Gregoria had posted pictures but it's not the same. I saw some weird stuff in that place. I remember a video tour of the city and the commentary saying the Chaos city was weird but, man... it's weird. But I love the artwork and scenery in the city, it has been worked on for a while and polished exactly how Mythic wants it.
The quests in the area are really easy too, I earned most of my rank in that area just doing some simple quests, and I did run into one I could not do though. It asked me to go get some mushrooms; the first 2 were cake, just run up to them and grab them, easy done. The last mushroom was in the Arena area where it looked like NPC's were fighting, rank 38's I might add, I tried to grab it while 2 of them were fighting up they turned their attention on me and I got owned.
Anyway as I headed back to a level fest I encountered a group trying to complete a Public Quest, being the nice person I am I saw he was getting the crap beaten out of him by a Champion so I decided to heal. He invited me to group and we and about 4 others finish the public quest and me coming second. While we were killing the last of the champions, look what one of them dropped.
Yummy, loot, not just any loot, purple loot, that's the best kind you know. I decided to stay to get some XP for finishing the other parts and to also to gain influence in the area - those influence rewards are tasty. As we kept killing more, more loot came about; this was awesome because I won a blue! Not the very best but if anyone wants this little beauty just hit me up in game and I'll send it your way.
When we had finished with the public quest, I came first in the rolls and got some minor loot, but what was interesting in the bag was this, I found it pretty ironic.
Oh well, I had fun doing the public quest and killing some baddy, some loot that cool as that has got to stay with me forever. Also on that note here - Note in the summary box Discovered by Me! Hellz yeah!
After my public quests finished, I actually did more than I thought, our group had expanded to a War band and we did the same public quest about 3 times, then moved on to a Wolf quest twice. This gained me enough influence to get the final reward, not a fabulous upgrade but I got some nice XP from all those quests. So I finally got to level 11 after all the struggle, I decided to leave Nordland and continue my journey to the eerie Tier 2 land, this place will be loads of fun, the main RvR objective is a keep, which from all the stuff I have read about it will be just awesome.
As the servers are down, people are going a wee bit insane, and I am off to do some study... hopefully. I hope to see more Twelvians on the battlefield very soon and I hope to god that my Collector's Edition will be on my desk when I get home tomorrow, fingers crossed, I will leave you with one thing I had to put in, kind of reminds me of the All Spark from transformers, c'mon it kind of looks like it.
