The Guildmasters

Hi all,

I managed to get to Guild Rank 9 today, now comes the long haul as each guild rank gets further and further away, GR 10 is 5,000,000 points away but hitting guild rank 9 has opened up another four or five new quests for me. I have managed to get myself around 24 out of the 50 S ranks needed so i’m still hopeful that I can get the platinum for this one. Once the servers close down next week it will probably take me a few months to solo whatever is left but I don’t mind that.

Should be getting The Last of Us in a week or so and i’m also renting Skyrim again as I loved playing that game and I want to get that platinum on this account. While i’m writing about my WKC update i’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the players that have helped me out while i’ve been online. There isn’t many on there now and there are still a couple of idiots but I have had some great players run with me in a few quests. It’s just a shame we only have a short time together to get what we can while we can.

Will probably only update one more time before the servers go down, i’m really hoping I can hit guild rank 10 before they do go down, then it will just be the long haul to guild rank 12, I may or may not have to work my way up to guild rank 15 depending on the 450 item bind trophy, if some of the items are too rare then I may just end up grinding to 15 although it’s not essential for the platinum.

Well that’s about it for now, I will end up making some videos for Skyrim, yeah I know there are a ton out there but i’m sure I can think of something different, i’ll also be doing some vids on The Last of Us. So until then, happy gaming 🙂

Well among lots of things going on offline I did manage to get to play for a few hours here and there this past week.

I went and bought the game Borderlands and have joined Wildcuffy in a couple of sessions. I know I usually complain about the price of add-ons and most of the time I refuse to buy them but I made an exception with Borderlands and bought the special add-on which included all four new areas, they took forever so i’m guessing they are huge and there will be plenty to do.

I am still one trophy from platinum which is the rescue the claptraps for 42 slots, I have 39 and i’ve rescued them all so I can only imagine I sold one of the upgrades mistakenly early on so will have to trek through the game again, I don’t mind though, it’s a great game.

Have also managed to get some hours in on White Knight Chronicles and played my good friends from the forum, Death , Wildcuffy and Ko Ko, hope to get on again soon to play them all some more.

I’ll be away for the next couple of days but will be back to play more from sunday or monday, hope everyone gets what they want for christmas and i’ll wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year for now, good luck all 🙂

Yes I probably shouldn’t compare games like this but I am really enjoying playing Borderlands and I just can’t help comparing it to Fallout 3, it is so similar.

If you enjoyed the quest side of Fallout 3 you will love this game, it’s even bigger than fallout 3 and I think there are more quests, and you have the added extra of playing online which is actually very cool.

I had my friend Wildcuffy invite me to join him online with Borderlands and it’s like playing the storyline offline but with friends, it’s really cool, and thanks to cuffy I got myself another 15 trophies.

I love the fact you can drive a vehicle to cover the wide open areas, the upgrade system is excellent and there are so many different types of weapons available with enhancements and mods you will never get bored of trying them all out.

I think i’m going to be on this one for quite some time as it’s so open ended and a lot of fun. I think I would prefer to be at level 50 to play online but today was a lot of fun even at my level 25.

Will update more as I complete more quests but don’t want to put spoilers here as I know there are people that haven’t played it yet, for spoilers and a more in depth view on the game pop over to our forum and i’ll be writing a review on Borderlands by next weekend.

Yes, maybe a little too much, at least in the evening anyway, actually going into the early hours of the morning too. Don’t think i’ve got to bed before 2am at all this past week, lol.

Been signing in to WKC every so often but not seeing anyone there much anymore. Got over 70 friends on my list and today there was only one showing, that was Mr. Platinum himself, wildcuffy.

Even the forum has become quiet of late. If anyone is still reading the blog please feel free to join the forum and let us know what your playing, we are always on the lookout for more friends who like to help each other out or who need help.

At the moment i’m level 25 on the multiplayer section of AC : Brotherhood and even now I still can’t work out if I really like it or not, it’s fun but I think it would be better if I really knew what I was doing, lol.

If anyone has any tips on the game or any other game please come and join the forum and discuss it, all gamers welcome.

Yes I managed to find two decent GR 12 players who was running for lethal gallstones and other greaver stuff.

Wanted to thank Face and Tempesta for allowing me to run with them, we didn’t get anything we wanted but it was pretty cool anyway, thanks guys.

I did take them on the swallowtail quest hoping to pick up the items quicker but we only managed to get 40 butterflies instead of the needed 50 so again didn’t manage to get any of the items we needed, we could have done with one more but it was pretty quiet, we did finish the quests fairly easily but I think because they are only 30 minute quests a fourth person would have made all the difference.

Am managing to get on a bit more this week and am hoping to get to quest with more of you again, did manage a couple of quests with Death and Cuffy yesterday then had to run off again, sorry guys.

Welcome aboard Face and Tempesta, glad you decided to join the forum and at the request of Tempesta i’ve now started a topic about shield stats.

Tony:)

Well today was a complete turnaround, I managed to get on at a different time and it made all the difference.

What made it even better was that I met up with 3 of my friends from the forum, Cuffy, Genmei and Death, it’s actually the first time for me to get 4 of us running together that actually knew each other, it was cool and a lot of fun.

We mainly ran SA 1 as we are all different Guild Ranks as well as a couple of other quests.

I can’t wait for WKC 2 so we can get six in a quest, that will be so cool, I won’t care if we all die it will be a ton of fun questing with six friends. Thinking about it we would become the mobs,lol.

Hope we can do this again sometime real soon, thanks guys..

Had some fun tonight, BO popped in and caught me in my town and while we was waiting for Death to finish a solo quest Henrietta popped in too so we ran belly of the beast quest, pretty cool.

After BO left another person came in and we ran Monumental treasure and the Windwalker quest, S rank and some decent amount of items got, shame we didn’t have longer as I was starting to enjoy it even though I didn’t need any of the items myself it was just good fun running with some friends who I hadn’t caught up with in a while, thanks guys/girls.

Hi all,
Well I opened up my town today and because of a post on the message board so George could find me I had the most players ever in my room/town, there was 5 at one time which for me is 3 more than my previous ‘most’.

It was good to meet up with George at last (Genmei) and I managed to run one quest with DEATH, good to see your in Earth armor now death, sorry we only managed one quest together.

Also met two more players I hadn’t met before so ran a few quests with Toboe and Yuna, sorry couldn’t be of more help but I try to spread myself around a bit to be fair.

Hope to quest with you all again soon, twas a good day, thankyou.

Yes I got my Witchblade last night, thankfully I already had enough items to upgrade it straight to 7, it was a little disappointing because even at that upgrade it’s not as powerful as my GR 11 blade, have to get it to 10 which shouldn’t be too difficult now.

I felt a bit silly last night as I found BO’s room with a few friends in it and said I would run a quest with them, the quest they ran was one of the few quest I had never run before. I know that sounds strange but there are several quests that i’ve never bothered with and this was one of them so I apologize for letting you guys down a bit, felt like a right newbie, they even had to abort and start over thanks to me but they had the patience to try again and we completed the quest, just not with an S rank which they probably would have got if I hadn’t have been there.

I will make it right next time, i’m going to make a point of running all the quests I haven’t tried, this will also give me some new items i’ve never had before. I got my 50 S rank quest trophy and guess I never bothered running the other quests, think there are about 8 i’ve never done before.

Anyway i’m pleased I now have a Guild Rank 12 sword in my possession, may put off rebirthing for another few days, still want to do that though.

Tony🙂
P.S. BO I noticed you’ve been calling me Mike for a while now, not sure where that confusion came from but next time you frequent my blog you’ll know that my name is actually Tony, lol, hope there isn’t another Assassin out there.

Due to the fact I cannot find anyone running the fire dragon quest I am stuck with my GR11 sword which is making me fairly weak for a GR14.

I’m starting to think I really should have been concentrating more on binding weapons and armor before rushing off to grind for higher guild ranks.

I’ve been running Desperate Defense most of the day trying to upgrade my shadow armor and my bloody armor but it’s a slow process with the rare drops, just one enhancement needs 5 magebeast masks +

The latest friend to be added to my list is a player going by the name of Bo, same age as me so a couple of oldies still playing the game, not sure if WKC is making me feel younger or making more grey but i’m having fun all the same. Definitely tired due to the late nights on this thing, I call it research for my blog, it sounds better.

For the first time in 3 months that i’ve been playing this game I actually met someone who had a problem with me, apparently he was a so called “tank” his own words, and he decided it was my job to keep him healed, I have to admit I did let it get to me and it showed, at the end of the day it is only a game.

I’ve met and played some extremely good players and i’m glad that they were on my side, wouldn’t have liked to fight against them that’s for sure but of all the “tanks” i’ve played with they have all (up until today) healed themselves.

If there isn’t a healer available then we all watch out for ourselves and help when and where we can, I try to do my fair share of raising and healing but at the end of the day i’m not a healer, same as i’m not a tank, I don’t expect players to heal me or raise me it’s just common curtesy when someone does it and you thank them for doing it, it also makes a lot of sense. What doesn’t make sense is when someone comes in claiming to be something they aren’t and then ordering someone else to do a job they haven’t done before, you have to show a little respect no matter how mad at the game you are.

Enough said, i’m still enjoying it a lot and I really hope to get my kingslayer katana soon, then i’ll be ok and more on par for a Guild Rank 14, occasionally I do let people down in the game through irrational thinking or making a wrong decision and I apologize for those times, most understand, a few don’t forgive but that’s life, and it’s too short to stay mad so lets have some more fun.

Welcome aboard Bo and I look forward to playing with you more tomorrow.

Tony 🙂
