Still around, mostly lurking

I am still playing Fallen Earth! It just keeps me coming back. the crafting that keeps running even when your logged off is a nice change. It takes a little getting used to not getting your crafted items quickly but being able to craft while your out and about or to queue up a bunch of stuff and log off and then its done when you log back on is awesome. I am playing 2 toons so I haven't really moved up in levels much they are 8 and 10. I have mostly been working the quests and geeking out on the crafting. I haven't even gotten in a group for anything yet but I might try some of the PVP before I move to the next bracket. I am curious how it works. Whats everyone else up to a lot of the blogs I follow have been real quiet lately too. I guess I have to pick up some of the slack, lol. Have fun out there whatever you play

K Out!

Look at me!!

I've been working my way along in Fallen Earth. I started my first toon in a little toon called Midway and at level 8 am working in Odenville. Most of my gear is crafted. The crafting system in this game is so deep and I spend as much time trying to get mats for crafting as I do doing quests.

Also thats my horse in the back ground, lol.

Servers are down....

It feels like the old days with server downtime. I can't even remember the last time I tried to log in to Wow and it was down outside of maintenance. I actually don't mind, I have plenty of stuff to do outside of the game its actually oddly comforting. I was able to get to level 7 last night. I am still working on crafting mostly. I was able to train my upgraded horse last night so I now have a mount with storage on it, woot! Its nice, because getting the inventory system down is a real challenge. I think what I am really enjoying about Fallen Earth is I have so much to learn and find out. I felt like everything in Wow was just the same thing over and over again, so its nice to have a bunch of different things to do.

I found some Fallen Earth Resource Sites (sorta...)

There are a couple of sites that show promise for Fallen Earth but it looks like they have not been updated much lately. The Last Bunker is a item database in the vein a wowhead but there hasn't been much activity or updates in the last 6 months. The Fallen Earth Wiki is another site with some good information but looks to have fallen behind by about that much time too. If I really get into this game full bore I am thinking of contributing to The Last Bunker at least, it doesn't even have a listing for Burning Cactus, that just seems wrong to me, lol. Well we'll see how it goes. I did get to level 6 though go me. Have fun out there!

K Out!

You can never escape: Extended Maintenance :(

Its Tuesday what does that mean, extended maintenance of course. No matter where I go I can't escape Tuesday maintenance. So I am stuck a level five peon in the Fallen Earth starting area. I have mostly been working on gathering and crafting to try to get a handle on the process. I have a feeling I will be creating a new toon once I kind of have a system down and use this as my farming machine. I have him as a melee dual wielder right now. Its been working pretty good, mostly because I don't like switching weapons in combat. I don't have my bars setup to do anything useful really and I am not used to the key commands so I just go til they are dead or I am lol.

The Apocalypse has called me back!

I have long wanted to give Fallen Earth another shot as I had tried the trial a while back but was still too deep into my WOW addiction to really give it a chance. Its lack of polish at the time was also slightly off-putting but I did enjoy parts of it and wish I could have supported it along with WOW. Well I figured now that I am not playing WOW I would give it another try and I have to say the game is much more polished. I also was surprised at how lively it was there is a fairly good sized community on most of the time, and everyone seems really helpful. I have been having trouble finding resources outside the game that are up to date though, where is the wowhead for Fallen Earth. I will have to say though the variety of options available in game is probably enough to get me to sub for a little while and see if I can get into the game. More to come on my "first" impressions and screenshots as soon as I figure out how to take them lol.

K Out!

Its not even the same game anymore...

I decided to see if I could bring up any nostalgic moments in game before my sub ran out so I went to the area I probably spent my most time in game the Western Plaguelands. I used to spend hours killing undead there, it wasn't so much farming as I was a Paladin and back in the day when pallies had such a limited arsenal the extra attacks against undead made me feel like a badass. I loved killing undead, it was my one true passion in game all the way into Icecrown. Well Sorrow Hill where I spent so much time killing has finally been cleared, and you can basically just walk up to Araj the Summoner without even trying. That made me sad to see. I used to go in with all my toons who could barely hack it in the plaguelands and do surgical strikes on the undead until I could clear a path to him. A true test of skill. I would even work with horde doing the same thing on my old pvp server, such was my hate for the undead. I don't even recognize the game I played for so long anymore. Now don't get me wrong the new leveling quests are fun and the game needed a makeover something fierce but, I think it lost some of its heart and soul over the years. You look at each patch and the nerfs are not usually that significant but if you go back somewhere you have not been in quite a while the complete lack of challenge in certain areas that used to be true tests is really disappointing to me. Well I guess I had one more rant in me after all lol. We'll see what I do going forward from here Thanks for reading.
