Weekend review: PVE and PVP
Ugh, the 20s are slooooww leveling! And boring if the PVP queues aren’t popping. A few of us decided to push the envelope and return to a tried and true method: AE grinding.
There’s not much out there by way of information, if anyone was wondering. There are no guides to grinding AE style yet (though there are other guides to leveling). For those who came from Warcraft and are wondering: mob grinding and scenario queues are the fastest way to level from what I hear. Quests, as the fellow in the link says, are not worth the time and effort if you want to maximize your experience per hour.
AE grinding goes waaay back for long-time FotF members. One of our members has a video of a rather large pull from Avalon City in our DAOC days (I’ll ask around and put it on YouTube). Throughout the weekend we did some AE grinding, which was a heck of a lot faster than questing, mixed in with scenarios.
I’ve not been as great a photographer in recent weeks. We just moved and I just reinstalled photoshop, so now we’re in business. Expect a weekly report, since we mostly play on weekends anyway.
PVP report below the fold:
Here’s a screenshot of us in Tor Anroc that I accidentally took when trying to mash my morale ability:
Just me and Saaz in that shot, but later in the day we did have some more people with us: guildies Timmm, Taron, Pylith and Organdonar all took turns throughout the day. Also guild friend Roereker joined us for a few, and the most hilarious bauble snag I’ve ever seen.
Roereker and I snuck around back just as the Destruction team was trying to pass the bauble. In a nutshell, you are in this lava area, and your team has to grab the bauble. The bauble is a hot ball of magma, and the longer you hold it the more damage it does to you. Eventually you’ll die and someone else can pick it up. Well, Roereker and I ran up and grabbed it right as their carrier died. We were laughing so hard I didn’t even think of taking a screenshot. They were soo mad!
Also, we got a few new members in the past couple of weeks. Welcome to Taron, Banofir, Deser and Ebrio. Sorry for being late but Saaz and I had to move within the past couple of weeks, and I also got an updated gaming machine (wewt!).
