Posted on December 22, 2008 by SynCaine

WAR Keep defense, not so useless.

Posted on December 10, 2008 by SynCaine

It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘battle report’ style post about Warhammer Online, but that does not mean the RvR has slowed. If anything, with all the recent patches, RvR has actually increased on Monolith to the point … Continue reading →

Fallout 3, youtube, forums, and RvR.

Posted on December 8, 2008 by SynCaine

So many topics, so little time. Well not really, I have all day, but wall of text crits are not always cool, so I’ll try to be brief with everything. First up, the internet gets butthurt over a youtube video. … Continue reading →

Fallout 3 and WAR update, Forsaken/CoW merger.

Posted on December 5, 2008 by SynCaine

Quick Fallout update: It’s still great. Super Mutants with miniguns that sneak up behind you hurt. Random raiders and talon company mercs with sniper rifles are also… interesting. At the same time, taking someone’s head off with a scoped magnum, … Continue reading →

Warhammer’s major problem, the players.

Posted on November 20, 2008 by SynCaine

Warhammer is plagued by some rather terrible flaws, flaws that should have been tested in beta. The flaws have nothing to do with coding errors or graphical problems, but rather center around player actions and motivation. Warhammer Online’s biggest problem … Continue reading →

Renown progress, and no more Tor Anroc please.

Posted on November 17, 2008 by SynCaine

As I mentioned previously, my short term goal in WAR was to hit renown rank 26 around the time I hit rank 29 in order to wear all four pieces of the Devastator armor set. It’s interesting how that one … Continue reading →

Breaking down the renown gain issue a bit more.

Posted on November 13, 2008 by SynCaine

Sid67 has a good post breaking down my previous issue with renown ranks, and how my DoK will need to focus more on scenarios in order to catch his renown ranks up with his actual rank. When I wrote my … Continue reading →

Keep capture, gold bag, and a new goal.

Posted on November 12, 2008 by SynCaine

My renown rank (rr) is horribly behind my character rank (r) in Warhammer Online, sitting currently at 17rr, 26r. This is mostly due to how I’ve been playing so far, staying out of the scenario grind and completing tons of … Continue reading →

Epic siege battle, PQ madness, and all the goodness that is WAR.

Posted on November 7, 2008 by SynCaine

Logged in last night at around 6pm with Aria, hoping to get some Dark Elf chapter 11 quests done, and perhaps have some better luck with PQs. The night before we had two full groups, but ran into a bugged … Continue reading →
