Finished re-tiling the floor to the Well in Newfallen. The NPC gives the quest to get his buddy’s gear from the bottom of the well. The buddy accidentally fell down, was instantly killed, and now his stuff’s going to poof before he can run back from Freeport. Ooooh I should make it Qeynos. I activated Skeleton Lrodd to see how hard it would be to fight in the room. It wasn’t easy. I had this idea to lure Lrodd into the well to see what happens. He falls into it fine, but then there’s aggro that’s impossible to fully lose, making things annoying. I need to stop him from falling into the well unless the player is already headed for the express down elevator to oblivion. ...

It’s a wonderful world we live in where we can have a videogame show people at a conference table and still get in a decent crotch shot. STILL not understanding why Seven of Nine has to wear skin-tight clothing. The Borg don’t. Starfleet doesn’t. And, why does The Doctor look old? I know Robert Picardo has gotten older, but this is a video game. The Doctor can look like the younger him, no problem. Is this some sort of weird Bicentennial Man thing going on? And he’s always going on about his subroutines. I guess that doesn’t mean the same thing that it does to those long-dead 20th century programmers who defined it in the first place. ...

DCUO: Thanks, Internet! Okay, I actually went so far as to look up a DPS build, put it in play, went back and soloed Mister Freeze. I didn’t even need a second orbital strike. Almost full health and power. I should… I should go try the Metropolis Historical District dailies… Wonder if I could do those now. #DCUO  This was posted on Google+

It’s been a whirlwind few days since I mysteriously hit CR 106 and became eligible to play the newest endgame content in DC Universe Online. “Mysteriously” is the word. I’ve been at CR 105 (CR = Combat Rating, the gating factor for endgame content). The CR calculators we use showed that I was quite a long way from CR 106, a trip that would require a lot of upgrades and mods. Clever Clara sent me some mods that would help, but even with those, it would be a long stretch. ...

Quick sketch of the third floor of “Newfallen”. Since I don’t want to take down the first quest in my EverQuest campaign while I work on its redesign, I’ll have to show progress only in the Foundry itself. #Neverwinter #Foundry #Newfallen

Who says sequels never bring the goods? We’ve got a couple of good ones this week… and a couple new ones as well.** Build a Castle, Siege a Keep** by @GodOfHunters** Leaping from the silver screen to the black mirror, Azog the Defiler Orc King is here! Well, first you have to lure him out. The Defiler Orc King won’t take a landless adventurer like yourself seriously. If you want to fight a king, you have to BE a king. So it’ll be your job to plunder local trash heaps for building supplies with which you’ll have your own sturdy keep built. The Castle of Garbage. Fortress of Rubbish! Nonetheless, as the local trash dumps get thin, your castle rises up around you, finally attracting an army of followers and attracting the notice of the orcs across the river. ...

We’ve been off a couple weeks, but we’re back with four new foundry quest reviews for your adventuring enjoyment.** Darkly Dreaming {Chapter 1}** by @Fallensbane** A child has fallen into a sleep from which he cannot awaken. Followed soon by a guard and a farmer. Lord Neverember has kept this quiet, but if this keeps up, all Neverwinter may descend into panic. There’s a solution, perhaps, that can only be survived by the bravest of adventurers. Well, the bravest ones passed. But for some reason, you showed up. ...

DCUO: Lantern No More Flush with the legendary infusion of station cash that came with the new month, I took the plunge and changed my power set from Hard Light to Mental. Blighted took me through the new loadout, and I was following a Mental Controller guide online at the same time, and wow – this operates so differently. The instant power jolt has a thirty second cool down; it was more like three seconds on hard light. However, that gives lots more time to do debuffs and stuff. My damage is still pretty low – and I think my power output is even lower than it was before. ...

Played “Party Crashers”, ST-HUY4Y2D5Q by @Winin, first Star Trek Online foundry I’ve played in years. In this, you tell a junior officer a story while beating the hell out of him in the gym. The story is the direct sequel to the one in the Cardassian arc, where you’re wiping the True Way Cardassians off of a breakaway colony planet. In this one, an anniversary celebration is interrupted by pirates after their precious medicine shipments… but those pirates aren’t acting alone. There’s some dark presence behind them. A shorter, dark presence. With big ears. And a lumpy head. ...

Yay, Dungeon Master 7! People are actually playing my older quests. It’s weird. #Neverwinter #Foundry  This was posted on Google+
