What is going on everyone? Sorry for the absentson here. I now have some new blogs in the works for the future. So lets get down to business.
I have now been a part of 2 betas for Blizzard. The first that I got into was Diablo 3. The positive points of the game are: It looks impressive. The zoom in low of the camera gives you a great look at the world in more detail and your character. The sounds of the world range from restful to creepy to hellish. Your character's skills feel fluid and sound/look powerful. The quests are standard, but they help move the story forward at a good clip. It is nice to see that happened after the events of Diablo 2.
The negative of the beta was: It was extremely short. By short I mean you can only reach the first big boss fight and that's it. You can (if you work at it) reach level 10, which is 1/6 of the level cap. I was not prepared for the beta to just end. I was not thinking that I would get to play half the game, but at least 2 or 3 bosses and have the leveling stretched out. But I enjoyed the beta and look forward to playing the full game in May.
The second beta is WoW:Mist of Pandaria. Just got the email today, so did a ton of people. Servers were filled up and there were so many PANDAS!! It was beautiful for the few quests I was able to complete, but there were so many people it was hard not to get frustrated. The new character creator felt great and looked to improve on the old version. I hope that when the expansion comes out that the servers are not so full. I do look forward to spending time in the new area and getting a better feel for the whole expansion.
Later I will hopefully give you all my impressions of the new games to grace my collection. In other news I have a new graphics card for my MAC. Installed by me, thanks a lot local apple stores for 1) not selling the card, 2) not giving me the option to have you install it for me, and 3) not even having the option to order it through the store. Still I have the new card and everything seems to be running well.
Till next time.
