Wow, yesterday i found some time- about half an hour- to play some Rift. I’ll confess, though: the new Massively columnist for Guild Wars 2 and his posting yesterday made me want to play Guild Wars 2- go ahead, read it. He almost makes it seem as if there’s a story in the game. I know, i know, some of it seems to come from the personal story quests and it’s totally my fault i didn’t get invested in it. Anyway, his writing is excellent. (Un-?)fortunately, my GW2 client decided it needed to download the whole client again- i don’t know why, but it took to long and so i found myself in the MMO i wanted to stick to.
My “second main” is situated in the Moonshade Highlands, which is a beautiful enough place, but levelling is not my main concern these days. Still, i fired up a round of Instant Adventure to finish the daily IA which granted me around 55k experience in a very reasonable amount of time.
Right now, though, my priority is to find a home dimension where i’d like to build. I got Faen’s Retreat by way of my loyalty, but i don’t really want to build that zone up, because it doesn’t seem to fit what i have in mind for my character. I’d like to build up one of the following:
- A place where Elomina can charge her batteries. Since every build she has contains the Chloromancer Soul and will probably continue to do so, even when it’s not her main soul (i like hybrid characters of dps and some healing) it would be nice to see some green/wood area. I am kind of waiting for the Three Springs dimension, thinking that one might fit. But there might be others…the Moonshade pools look promising, as well.
- A place where Elomina does business. I mean, you’ll have to earn some money while saving the world from all the evils, right? A tavern might be too obvious, but is still tempting.
- A place for hobbies. Unfortunately, i haven’t decided what her hobbies are. Reading, for sure- in her home she’ll have a library (don’t know if it’s possible, but i’d try, at least). Another option would be mountain climbing – a base camp might be something that looks affordable for the beginning.
So, i guess it’ll be one of those three options, and so i spent the rest of my time looking at various dimensions and almost buying one to start building.
Another thing that’s still bothering me is the guild i’m in- i’m pretty sure that i’ll be far behind in levels in almost any guild i enter, but as i already said, it’s just strange when you can only read fragments of a conversation that happens on voice chat. I could join them, of course but it’s not really me and i’m pretty sure i’d need to always join them there to stay in touch. They seem to be nice people, but still.
