Other MMO's we have played / Losing speed
« on: October 02, 2009, 09:55:24 PM »
I am sad to say i am loosing speed in CO.
Lvl 27 and I never feel a need to team up and most quests are kill ten boars.
This is not looking good. I think Cryptic launched too early. There is too little content.
I have had great fun trying many chars up to lvl ~15. Nice bunch of super powers to try out,
but when that is old news then what?
Crafting is a failure. I cannot create anything better than I find questing or by mob drops.
Like in WAR it only generates bag management frustration.
What do you guys think?

Other MMO's we have played / activation key problem
« on: September 07, 2009, 04:08:43 PM »
Hi guys,
I just bought a DVD copy of the game for my son. My problem is that I cannot find the activation key.
Does anyone of you know where I can find it? The crapy mnual says in the box but I cannot find any key there.
My first copy was bought via Steampowered and then it automagically opened the browser and pasted it in.
Not so this time or maybe it tried but was blocked by Firefox and noscript.
Does anyone of you know how to find the activation key?

Other MMO's we have played / Current Issues
« on: September 04, 2009, 06:59:55 AM »
Let us start with a game issue thread since there are some problems at the moment and I am sure more will come.
Yesterday evening it was impossible for me and others to get to the game login page.
I could download and install the game but never reached the log in.
Reading on the internet the suggestion was that they have problems handling all players. True or not I don't know. It can also be some simple technical issue. Time will tell.
Anyway, this morning, 06:15, I had no problems getting there.
Then new problems started. I had to give a username and password to play the game.
Buying the game via Steampowered gives you no information about such things.
Ok, I will contact Steampowered and ask what the problem is.
Then, the normal Steam account does not work and they ask me to make another kind of Steam account to contact customer support.
My reaction was like the meteorite aiming for a seriously fucked up earth in the End Of Ze World video: "Well, fuck that"

I used google and fairly quickly I found a post saying that: right clicking on the game in Steam would bring up an account management option where this is handled. This option should be available when installation starts.
Of course I wasn't given that option right clicking and the game was installed yesterday.
More googling and I found a post that said it may work by "Verify integrity of game cache". This option can be found after right clicking and via some tabs. Lo and behold account management turned up with a right click.
Next problem is that the account management activation only seems to work with Internet Explorer. I use Firefox of course.
Ok, it didn't take me long to realize this but by now my mood had changed from happily looking forward to a new game to a critic that will be hard to convince of the Steam-Cryptic management of this game.
How on earth could anyone conceive such an installation procedure? There was absolutely no information whatsoever on how to do this. Mindboggling to say the least. I wanted to post my findings on the Steam forum but guess what, they wanted me to register another account for the forums. "Well, fuck that".
I hope I will be able to calm down and hopefully the game will be so amazing I will forget all about this by the end of the weekend :)

General Gaming / Fallen Earth
« on: June 11, 2009, 08:33:53 PM »
This game hasn't been mentioned yet. It is a post apocalyptic MMO in closed beta at the moment.
It has an NDA so you do not get to hear much about it, yet.
Anyway, FYI, I do not like a kill 10 boar, pick 10 flowers MMO with professions generating inventory management issues.
I am just not up to that anymore.
Talking about post apocalyptic games. I just finished Fallout 3. I enjoyed it. I wouldn't play it again but it was entertaining and had a good story.
All the best to you all,
Pashur

EVE Online / A break
« on: May 15, 2009, 10:17:29 AM »
Just to let you know. I will take an Eve break.
One reason is most likely the current reorganization here at work. It has created quite some stress and lots of emo reactions. Now, when I put on my pc at home I just want to kill stuff. Eve requires quite a bit more than that and I just lack the strength atm.
So, currently I do not play any mmo games which gives a very odd feeling of loss.  However, I follow the HoJ MMO-Verse forum closely and I hope I soon feel like getting back to something old or plunge into something new.
Have fun guys and see you soon in some MMO :)

EVE Online / Where did I go
« on: March 09, 2009, 10:40:14 AM »
I will follow the trend of announcing a reason for a semi-absence.
My 15 year old son, who was with HoJ in Warhammer, wanted to play WoW again.
So, the two of us are now raiding Naxxramas 1-2 times a week. It may sound like a cliché but it is quality time. I am happy we can have fun together even if WoW doesn't interest me that much anymore. I tried to introduce Excel in space to him but he wasn't impressed  ;)
I see Eve as a long term investment and I hope our coming move to 0.0 and the expansion will bring some nice action.

EVE Online / Punishers and Crucifiers
« on: February 19, 2009, 02:28:50 PM »
I think we are a few Amarr now in MAADI so these two frigates would be nice to have in stock.
If we also could produce medium pulse lasers and dual-light pulse lasers it would be nice.
Sometimes you need to go far to find reasonably priced dual-light pulse lasers.

EVE Online / Roles in a fleet
« on: February 11, 2009, 05:13:30 PM »
Hi guys,
I am in need of some advice. I had a dream of getting a battleship one day but I am starting to realize I will never have the economy to support that. I also have the feeling that I have started a race where I will never catch up. I have always been a min-maxing kind of guy when playing MMOs but in Eve I only see a wall of skills to climb and the need of Croesus gold vault.
So, I have decided to lower my ambitions and try to find a "cheaper" role to play. I remember this topic was discussed in some thread way back but I never found it back and at the time I knew even less what it was all about.
I am sure there are roles in a fleet for more laidback gamers where they can still contribute. I know there are tacklers, scouts and electronic platforms and got a rough idea of what they do. However I don't know if these roles, with smaller ships, still need to use dead expensive equipment to be useful or if training appropriate skills takes years. Not that I am in a hurry but my patience do have limits. Is there something MAADI is in great need of?
Any role suggestion would be appreciated.

EVE Online / I need a hint...or two
« on: December 24, 2008, 09:22:59 AM »
Hi guys,
I have now leveled my Death Knight to 80 and I don't feel like investing a lot of time grinding for gear etc. Every time I log on to WAR I feel uninspired.
So, maybe it is time for a new game :)

You guys got me thinking about EVE and I am now downloading the trial account.
What do I do and what do I not do?
Are there servers, factions etc. like in every MMO and if so which do I choose?
I could use some very basic tip and if possible be where most of you guys hang out.
Merry Christmas to you all :)

The Dog & Duck / Red wine and determined stupidity
« on: October 21, 2008, 03:44:01 PM »
A couple of months ago I was raiding in WoW and for a change I had red wine to go along with the mayhem. As you all know beer is the preferred drink, but anyway, this evening it was red wine.
Of course I spilled some on my nice G15 keyboard. However, I quickly fetched a hairdryer so while raiding, the keyboard was still working, I tried to dry the keyboard with the hairdryer.
Engrossed as I can be I paid little attention to the hairdryer and after a while I had melted quite a few of the G15 buttons. Guess what, that was the end of that keyboard.
Conclusion, do not drink wine while playing. Beer is much safer. I have never had a problem with beer.
I am Swedish and prefer a Swedish keyboard. However I live in Belgium and I frequently need to use different keyboards, azertys, us, uk and even german keyboards.
So one day some weeks ago I said fuck this, I will learn to type without looking and use whatever keyboard layout I want. In this determined mode I went and bought Das Keyboard Ultimate. So now after a week using it I feel like my forum avatar.
I will not give in, yet, but you want see me chatting a lot in game ;). If I say woeihf djylais or something similar it means I am in a scenario and evil things are trying to kill me.
On the positive side, nobody is trying to use my computer anymore.

The Dog & Duck / RL pics
« on: October 06, 2008, 09:46:37 AM »
Isn't it time to start a RL pic thread?
Since we will slow down recruitment and settle in, as it was put, I thought why not present myself. To me, putting a face or some background facts like hobbies, job etc to an in game character is a very good way of building a community feeling. It is not for everyone of course which I respect.
I was born in 1959 in the north of Sweden and spent my youth in this snowy landscape skiing, fishing and doing other outdoors activities. For quite a few years I was a lot into sled dogs which may be exotic in this community. I have also played volleyball since my youth and I still participate in beach volley tournaments. I am married and have three children of which the two oldest are at universities in Britain. I have a PhD in Chemistry and currently work as a research scientist in Belgium.
WoW was my first MMO. I have also tried Tabula Rasa, LotRO and Conan but none of them clicked with me. So my online life has for the last two and a half years been WoW. A month or so ago I started to feel really fed up with WoW so I was eagerly awaiting WAR and so far it has more than met my expectations. Other hobbies I have are cycling, boardgames, computers and our two dogs. If you want to chat or whisper me I speak Swedish, Dutch or English and some other languages on an understanding basis only.
For those ex-wowers that still care, these were my two main chars: Medeba and Eljas

Ok, some RL pics then:


I am the guy with the sun glasses.


Hiking in the Swedish mountains together with my oldest son.


Skiing is something I and the family like to do. This is my wife in the Italian alps in February this year.
