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 🙂

Hi all,

I finally got the platinum for Sleeping Dogs, a great fun game, took me a couple of days longer than expected due to me missing two random events which the only way to find them was to drive constantly around town until they showed up, I got em though, lol.

I’ve now decided to go back to an old favorite, White Knight Chronicles.  This may sound crazy, but I’m going to try and solo platinum this one as the servers are going offline in two weeks, I have got the platinum for this one on another account and I actually played the game for about two years when it first came out.  Since creating this other account it gives me a chance to play it again, it’s one of my favorite games.

I’m already about halfway through the storyline, although the platinum is probably going to take me around 1,000 hours as I’m soloing. This is not one of those games that I will play constantly though, it’s a great game for taking a break from all the others and I will play it off and on while playing other games. Already have 3 trophies, but the rest will take forever, lol.  It has been a very underrated game and it was a shame that more people didn’t get into it. The few that did really did get into it and some of the players were, like myself and continued playing for well over a year or two, even after getting the platinum.

This was mostly due to the way the online was laid out, it was very fun to meet up in each other’s rooms, many just met up there to just chat and have a laugh, some ran quests, some helped each other out getting materials for upgrading, it was a really fun place. This time around, for me, will be different as I’m going solo and it won’t be the same, I really enjoyed playing with many friends on there.

Will update as I go along, my trophies also register on Facebook as I get them, that is if the account is still active all this time,  so anyone can see what I’m playing at any given time. Happy gaming.

Hi all,

Well i’ve been caught up playing AC 3 for the last week so I apologize for not writing anything here. That is seriously how good this game is, really. If any of you loved Skyrim, I mean, who didn’t? Then you will love this game too, lets put it this way, it’s like Assassins Creed in skyrim, only bigger, much bigger.

It’s such an open world, it was three days before I came across a part where I couldn’t access due to the edge of the map, crazy huge this game is. So much to do, the main story is great but the side quests are so many, and it doesn’t get boring, it makes you want to complete everything. Graphics are amazing but there are a few glitches that can be forgiven.

They say you can platinum this game in around 60 hrs, to be honest, if you were playing it properly, investigating everything and enjoying the playtime, you could spend a few weeks on this without getting the platinum. I’m one week into this game and i’ve got around 70% but there are a few hard trophies, and a couple of time consuming ones, so you may as well do what I did, simply enjoy the game, do everything, and eventually that platinum will pop.

Last night I had a go on the multiplayer for a couple of hours and that puts yet another whole new aspect to the game, very enjoyable and very similar to Assassins Creed: Revelations. There is a good tutorial that I recommend playing before actually going into a match, and I see me playing multiplayer for a good couple of weeks, maybe longer. I will also play this game through again, it’s that good.

I really can’t say too much more without giving spoilers away, and believe me, I sooo want to tell more about this game, just go get it, rent it, buy it and play it, you won’t regret it, got to give it a 5 out of 5, nothing bad about it, seriously, you’ll love it too.

Hi all,

Didn’t get much in the way of quests, did a Free Monster Quest (fmq) and one or two others but then time got away with me again and it was time for bed:(

There was a new member of the guild who had not yet really started story mode on WKC 1 so I would like to offer some advice to new players getting hold of WKC 1 or/and 2. One of the first things you should do is to complete story mode, there are many reasons for this.

Firstly if you go straight online as soon as you can, you limit yourself to what you can do, only low guild rank quests will be open to you and eventually you will have to finish story mode, especially in WKC 2, so you can open up other areas.

In WKC 1 if you finish story mode then you will be at a reasonable level and guild rank to be able to go online and hold your own with other similar leveled players. Also on WKC 1 if you start a new game+ you can get yourself extra items free, up to guild rank 7 and 8 armors and weapons as there are more chests with better items in them.

On WKC 2 you have to finish story mode in order to get Vellgander opened up, this is an area that everyone needs in order to get better equipment and weapons at higher guild rank and levels. If you do not finish story mode in both games you will seriously miss out on a lot of stuff and many quests. With Vell, you cannot join a vell quest even if another player has it, you just won’t be able to join unless you open it up by completing the story.

I know there are many games out there where you don’t have to even play story mode to go online, and playing online is fun, but with these two particular games I would advice very strongly that you really need to complete story mode in order to fully enjoy the experience.

Will update more tomorrow, happy gaming.

Hi all,

I’ve just been over to youtube and watched this amazing footage of one of the first videos online of the first part of Assassins Creed 3, it doesn’t really spoil anything as it just shows the introduction and part of the tutorial. It’s worth checking out so you can see how good it is compared to previous Assassins Creed games, so if you don’t have it yet this will give you a taste.

There are more of them but if you don’t want to spoil anything for yourself I would recommend just watching the first one, this guy is pretty cool too. And giving you a chance to win a collectors edition AC3 and console, very nice. Hope I win one, lol.

Hi all,

I actually just hit guild rank 20 a few minutes ago, this now means I can level up to 80 (max) and use some of my best gear. I never did get around to finishing story so I will be doing that next so that Vell opens up for me, which is a good quest to get extra gear from.

I don’t usually run the same quest over and over but I really wanted to get to GR 20 so I joined a Demithor In Peril room this morning and ran DIP2 about 8 times which is all I needed. I should be able to get the binding shop to rank 20 today too which is as high as it will go, this means all, or at least nearly all, binding items will be available to me.

Ok well now i’m off again to play some more, may update again tonight, if not tomorrow. Anyone else on here playing WKC 2? Let me know.

Hi all,

Yes I actually reached Redhorn Isle, and completed it yesterday. I know many are saying that it’s like a maze but in fact it can be fairly straightforward. Having said that, it can be easy to get lost or miss an area too.

I found that by keeping an eye on your map, especially after quite a bit of fighting, you can methodically work your way around without missing anything, especially if your like me and want every chest.

What I did was to work my way left, taking out every enemy, which actually netted me some cool stuff along the way, especially with the gigas. Then work my way back towards the elevator in the center and then work my way right. The parts where you can get messed up are the little ledges that sometimes you don’t notice exactly where they are unless you scrutinize the map.

Always double check the map as you can easily step off a ledge at the wrong point and miss a chest, also try and complete a whole section before moving on, and make sure you have completed a whole side before crossing over to the other side as this will result in some missed loot.

Anyway, after completing the 3 crystal things, I got the moon maiden bow by the way, and do not miss this bow, it is located in a chest at F5 on your map. This bow will save you a whole bunch of trouble and make boss fights, especially Brimmflamme, a breeze. This bow has all four elemental attacks and they are awesome. Even this early on Yulie’s ice attack was taking off over 1200 from Brimmflamme, he didn’t stand a chance, lol.

I spent the rest of the day hunting bounties which eventually got me to GR 16 and level 64 so I was pleased with my progress. Once some of my other party members reach level 60 I will finish story mode, as I only have the Madoras battle to complete. After completing it once already I don’t need a difficult battle there, just want it out the way so I can get Vell opened up. At level 60 and myself at level 65 the fight shouldn’t be too much trouble.

It’s strange as I asked quite a few people for help last night and didn’t get any which was disappointing, usually players will help in a second, must have just been one of those nights, they either totally ignored my request, left the room or gave me a vague answer which basically meant not right now.

Eventually I found a room with some helpful guys and ran Jungle Jailbreak about 3 times which gave me another bunch of useful items.

My next step is to finish up some more bounties for my level, try and get the last 15 or 20 errands done, then level up my guild rank to around 21 or 22 so I can hit level 80 after completing story, sounds like a plan.

If anyone wants to run with me, help me, or wants help themselves just let me know or send me a friend request, online ID Tony-T-Leaf, in game ID Assassin.

Hi all,

Ok so I managed to get to Redhorn Isle again last night, after leveling up to 58 I decided to try and get my knight, was quite a battle but I did in fact manage to get him so i’m pretty happy about that.

Also managed to hit GR 15, and i’m caught up on all the errands at this point. I believe more errands appear a bit later on as they are not all done. Not looking forward to getting that rare Flemron 108 again.

I’ve only done about 3 bounties so tomorrow i’ll be hitting those pretty hard, I think by the time i’m done with most of those I should be GR 16, then i’ll go online and try and get to GR 20, then back to finish story as i’ll be around level 63-65

I’m quite enjoying it this time around which is surprising, at first I didn’t even want to play it again but with skipping the cut scenes and my setup being much better this time around it feels like i’m accomplishing stuff at a reasonable pace, not too fast but not too slow either.

I’m still popping into the guild every day to get my tokens and have already managed to get hold of some level 80 armors which will come in handy when I actually get to level 80. Also this time around i’m not selling much. What i’m trying for is while i’m getting back to my original status (before losing my data) is to save as much mats and money as I can which in turn should net me another trophy.

Well that’s about it for now, will update again after tomorrows play. I’m also in the process of trying to come up with enough money before the 30th to buy Assassins Creed 3, now that would be cool.

Hi all,

Ok so i’ve got to the part where we are in the balandor castle, i’ve now just got to go into the past and am about to fight the black knight I believe. Trouble is i’m not quite at the level I want to be to carry on, really wanted to get to the point where I get my knight.

Still, it’s not too bad as I do have Yulie’s knight now which is a plus. I think i’ll go online for a little while to level up a bit more, would like to get to around level 60 before I carry on, i’m level 52 at the moment. Also I have to do some more bounties as I haven’t been doing many of those due to running around with all the errands, i’m about half way through the errands this time.

That’s about it really for now, still GR 14 but hope to get that to around GR 20 over the weekend and start playing with my guild again, must finish story first though as I really want to get Vell opened up again.

Hi all,

Yes after my mishap and getting a corrupt save data I was a little annoyed (actually pretty crazy) but i’ve settled down, counted my losses and started again. Haven’t done too badly this time around.

Skipped the cut scenes so i’m about half way through story mode again, done about 1/3 of errands and made it up to GR 12, not bad for a day and a half. So what next? Well if my guild hasn’t booted me then i’ll finish story and hopefully get to around GR 20 and go back to join them again.

I wasn’t about to expect my guild friends to carry me from GR 1, I know they would have but at the end of the day you should be able to get to around GR 20 without help, from then on you need the help.

So hopefully by this weekend I will be able to join my friends again and get some decent online play going again. Will also be looking at some more new releases next week and working some more on the forum.

Tony 🙂
