Sci-fi Spaceships

Thought this was absolutely amazing and had to share.  DirkLoechel over at deviantart created a huge collage of almost every sci-fi related spaceship you could think of.  From Star Wars, Star Trek, and EVE to WALL-E, Robotech, and Warhammer 40K.  I can’t even imagine how much time this took but as someone that spends hours on random photoshop projects, i

A Relic Reborn

One of the perks of starting A Relic Reborn right after hitting 50 is that you essentially have to do a lot of the tasks on the quest chain anyways to progress towards The Binding Coil of Bahamut raid dungeon.  Killing two birds with one stone instead of having to redo the primal fights for this quest does save a

Titan Falls

My last obstacle, boss fight wise anyways, to completing all the hard mode primals and completing my first relic finally goes down.  After countless hours and numerous wipes to Ifrit and Garuda, thanks to really poor pick-up groups, i was able to snag a FC group with experienced players and take Titan down in no time.  Much to my surprise

Magitek Armor

Main scenario quests complete!  With the completion of the story, players are rewarded with a magitek armor mount.  That’s only two mounts at this time for me which makes for an easy decision as to which one to roll with.  I mean how could anyone not want to ride around in one of these?  OCP, I’m coming for you and

Warriors Come Out To Play

      My trusty bird Sirdidymus My first max level class/job, after a few weeks of super exciting Fate grinds, is of course my badass Warrior.  I have a serious love/hate relationship with this job.  On one hand, I’ve always enjoyed the heavy armor classes with big 2-handed weapons.  On the other hand, i retired from tanking four years ago when

Pride and Duty

After some confusion as to what was actually necessary to acquire and unlock my first job, i managed to have the classes leveled that i needed and unlocked Warrior.  There were some rumors of Pugilist being thrown in the mix, which i didn’t have leveled, but they were false of course.  I forgot how much i enjoyed actually having to

Bowl of Embers

What better way to get pumped up for my first encounter with Ifrit, than to do so to one of my favorite 80’s montage tunes.  There’s really no other way to prepare oneself for such an encounter to get get the juices flowing.  The fight itself is of course way too easy but it is a level 20 story quest

My Little Chocobo

     Personal mounts in a Final Fantasy MMO?  Unheard of until now but I’m glad SE is getting with the times.  For those not aware, mounts were relegated to services provided for temporary travel with a time limit in XI.  Very similar to the way they’re being handled in main cities in XIV actually.  I for one would have killed

EQNext Decoded

It’s official.  I’ve broken SOE’s code!  Using my vast knowledge of steganalysis, which has only come in handy when trying to decode Kubrick films, has finally payed off.  After careful study of the released EQNext wallpaper image, I’ve found startling new info that needs to be released to the masses.  Let’s begin. 1:  The forearm plate armor on the Kerran

You Shall Not Pass

I, along with most of my community, were hit with the dreaded 3102 and 90000 error.  While fortunate enough to not be hit with this until late Saturday night, a lot of our players have been less fortunate.  I did manage to hit level 20, which is the cap, on my Marauder before i went boom.  We completed the first
