*L* Well, we wanted to actually queue for PvP and get games. I was told that was a serious issue for the Sith due to everyone rolling Darth Balls. On the other hand, we get smacked around a lot because everyone is level 15 on our teams and doesn't know what they are doing. I can't imagine what compelled them to just throw everyone into the same game regardless of level. Even WoW got that right :(

Thanks dude! Bit annoyed about that really strange shine finish the camera picked up, still scratching my head about how it is not visable while holding him, but it is to the camera. I guess the only possible answer is witchcraft.

You cant say that Iffy he's Coteaz, unless that's not an Eagle rather a Lord of Changes familiar

I smell the taint of chaos here

I rolled Darth Balls. He's a cool guy, but I went full tank spec because I like to torture myself like that.

The pvp system was a clever way to make sure everyone can always get a game, all your damage scales to 50 regardless of level, right? Cept the lack of abilities is a bit of a death sentance, haha. I think people would prefer it over waiting 4 hours for a match though.

Oh crap you are right. Maybe my camera is some kind of chaos spawn. Maybe it was once a great champion of Chaos, who has been afflicted with so many gifts that he became unstable and mutated into a small Canon. That is pretty harsh. I guess it would explain why half the shots I take have horrific monsters in them for no discernible reason.

I agree, I like The PVP and honestly i see more Jedi Crowd Controling my Marauder then I ever see Warrirors.

BTW I Laughed so hard at your "Supernatural" Clip.

Hahaha, I've realised recently that there is a Supernatural gif out there for every possible occasion. Bless those boys.

I dunno, I think the PVP is suffering a great deal from the rank and gear imbalance. They do jack your abilities and base stats up to level 49 levels, but not having some of the key class abilities really hurts, as well as not having access to better gear or complete sets.
My guess is that they wanted to keep server populations lower, which conflicted with the ability to have level tiered pvp, but I just don't know that it was a good trade off. WoW seemed to pull it off well, and WAR was just amazing for PvP, at least the first 30 levels or so.

Still, the game is a lot of fun, and the PVE is great for me. The lady wife, she wants to make people cry and rage quit in PvP, and the system just doesn't seem to lend itself to it. :(

I think it's going to even out nicely as the game progresses, it feels at the moment like it was a band aid to prevent queue times and will likely be changed once the level brackets start to even out

Or I hope so anyway.

I'm loving it too, a lot. So very refreshing to play an MMO where I actually care what is happening and why I am doing quests.

I'm wasting time farming in monsterhunter till it hits midnight and I can start on Kingdoms of Amalur. So much nerd. :(

I think that the PVP at least lets people of lower level feel like they get to play with the big boys!

Hmm...but then Inquisitor Coteaz would never get anything done. It would just be THIS all day long:

JB, you just made my year.

Glad you like it. Your idea about Jokeros with Coteaz (Mr. uptight Inquisitor) made me laugh and was the first thing I thought of tonight when I was giving my Bamboo tablet another try. Previous experiments went awry (several years ago) so I was happy that this one went well.

Now I'm going to have Jokero dreams. Those freakish fingers...

hahaha nice one

lol JB that is awesome

At least the jokero isn't trying to touch his...er...

....

At least I didn't draw it?

Much like a peewee football team playing vs the Sea Hawks, it is really fun for a bit. Then the repeated beatings start to take their toll...

I really love the Coteaz model... but every time I see him I want to convert him to chaos just out of principle

Go ahead. His fluff says that he is inching towards chaos day by day as he seeks a way to extend his life span. He is reaching a conclusion that the only means may be by accepting a deal with a demon. My theory though is that the Jokeros will drive him to it. Either chaos or strong booze and maybe both!

And neither did I...and not gonna! Come to think of it, the whole Jokero inappropriate touching thing was Iffy's idea.

If I ever draw anything else, it will be the Black and White Space Marine joke. Yeah, that one. Reading that joke is worse than being Rick Rolled.

The Lord of Change will keep you safe from the harms of life.....

Fantastic stuff Ifalna. Coteaz looks suitably menacing, yet still Imperial.

Tis not possible!!!

Ahaha you guys!

Came back to check up on thread, ended up lolling.

Been massively enjoying Kingdoms of Amalur over the weekend, very impressed with it. It's like.. what we were promised Fable 2 would actually be.

That's what happens when you take a few days away from your project log and leave it in our hands. You come back to find dust, cobwebs, grafitti on your walls, and empty pizza boxes.



That game actually looks appealing (more art, less gore).

I feel like a hibernating bear that has awoken and is trying to decide whether to paint or draw something. Maybe I'll capitulate and settle for tea.

The empty pizza boxes were my bad.....

I am not the best at dusting, so I didn't do it!

Yeah and just ignore that picture of me in your bed......

^ lol

Maybe it's best if you just stick around here and update (with pics) near constantly. It might keep us on track
