Day 24/100: Rift

On this day of Rift, which most Fridays I do Rift, I classic leveled, rolled a new character on the Defiant side, and leveling it only the classic way. SO only quest, no Instant Adventures, no dungeon runs unless everyone is the same level, no power leveling at all, going back and revisiting the lore and just how far leveling can get you. I am doing the same challenge with a dwarf character aka a Guardian, as the lore is different per faction. Then I did some Crafting Rifts and Chronicles before playing Dungeons with buddies farming up the last of achievements for Storm Legion.

Day 25/100: Atlas Reactor

This day had one goal in mind, and that goal was to finish the Season 3 Chapter 4 missions, had only two more to complete and completed it with participating in 50 take downs and 3 non death match games. I played the new game mode Lights Out, where it is like a Death match game only every four turns, the map goes dark or dim and the players on the opposite team cannot be seen, you are completely clueless as to there whereabouts and have to guess, but the same is for them, they have no idea where  you are. Big guessing game, and eventually the lights come back on, and then go back off.

Day 26/100: Fallout 4

When I play any of the Fallout games it is dubbed the No Screamie Streamie challenge, where I have to play the game and not spaz out or scream, normally I fail…badly. So many things can pop out and wreck you in these games, and anyone who has played, knows what I am talking about. And while I was running around dealing with Jack Cabot’s messed up family, I did okay, until I found a sleeping Deathclaw, the one I failed to kill, just turned around and left out of there like “NOPE” and went around the long way and found some children of atom cultist who were out trying to radiate me into piles of green goo….I thought those guys were friendly….these wanted to kill me so bad I have never been killed so bad….Then I stumbled into a Mirelurker town which is no surprise cause they are after me, no matter where I hide they find me. But hey only freaked out once!

Day 27/100: Neverwinter

Neverwinter is a free to play MMORPG, that submerges all of its players into the vast Dungeons and Dragon world. It has an action style combat system, with abilities to dodge out the dreaded red on the ground, and different abilities and ways to boost the abilities, the game is vast in its class system alone. First what is there to do? You have the regular leveling, then you have world events, world monsters/ dragons, campaigns running all day (event calender in the game) skirmishes, pvp, and dungeon. There is 10 playable races and 3 for purchase. There is 8 playable classes, which each branch off into its own two sub classes at level 30. They even created a system where the players can create roleplay style missions, some with advanced stories that allow you to deeply create and submerge into the world and story and some that is just survive a wave of undead. The options are endless on what to do this game, highly recommend it, and its cross platform, you can play it on console or PC.

Day 23/100: Fallout New Vegas

Today I will venture into playing Fallout New Vegas for my Throwback Thursday stream. I have recently been swapping between Fallout 4 and Fallout 3 lately and everyone is always like “Fallout New Vegas was the best!!!” and blah blah  blah. To set the record straight….I love all the Fallouts for different reason, but lets give the viewers what they want…and here is Fallout New Vegas.

I like Fallout New Vegas because it was very faction driven, you had to pick a side, and whoever you picked changed your gameplay all together, the companions were way more dynamic and had stories and all of the randomness in the game was solid and made the game so much fun to play. I enjoyed the game greatly. I mean I did my first time around have over 16 days of gameplay in it…maybe more…

 

You should totally read the title in your best Ricky Ricardo voice instead of it be “Lucy you have some explain to do….” is “Kelari you have some catchin up to do…”

Day 18/100: Atlas Reactor

Every Saturday or every other, depending on me, I do a Saturday Suggestion Stream, and this is what this Saturday was or now past Saturday, did a poll of twitter people voted and Atlas Reactor was the game I played.

Day 19/100: Fallout 4

I spend this lovely day working on Railroad missions, and trying to save the Synths of the Common Wealth and heck did a mission where I saw this cool light house and was like “lets go there!” all optimistic, up there was a switch…pulled it, cause if you had a big red button in front of you, you would be tempted too…and it made a LOUD sound and attracted a death claw and Alpha death claw….which made me cry. Soooo had to kill the death claw… and the Alpha went missing…and it is still missing…so I will only be paranoid for a month now or until I find its dead body.

Day 20/100: Neverwinter

This Monday I did MMO madness, where I play a variety of different games in the MMO genre. I played two games to be exact but spend most my time on Neverwinter, played a new character, a cleric and played with my friend, introduced him to the Neverwinter world. This game is offered on Xbox and PC, its from the Dungeons and Dragon universe, and has several ways to play, there is PVP, PVE, world events, constant campaigns going on, and then roleplay missions created by members of the game.

Day 21/100: Elder Scrolls Online

ESO is a great game, first off Bethesda makes it, its from the Elder Scrolls series, and its massive, and beautiful and there is SOOO much to do. You have the base game story, the Morrowwind story, the guild stories, Fighters guild, Mage guild, and the Undaunted, you can buy the DLC and get the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood. There is PVP, dungeons, just random exploration, I have yet to see all the world….now the Argonians may…creep you out always tell you to stay…moist…. shudders

Day 22/100: Heroes of the Storm

Now we are on yesterday, which every Wednesday is Wreck it Wednesday for me. I play PVP style games, and this day we did play unranked matches and we won one, the second one got wrecked, then headed into Brawl missions where we had to push the payload, actually keep the other team from pushing there payload.

Day 17/100: Rift

Today with Rift I will share my Vostigar Peaks/ Celestial Storm contest submissions. So a fellow Trion Creator like myself Seshatar, is running a Celestial Storm contest, that came out with the newest patch. There was three different categories you could enter in and I submitted to all three, and want to share my submissions here, and then share what I did on Friday as well. I will share each category, describe a little about them and then my submission.

Category One: Vostigar Peaks Postcard

So the new patch brought out a new zone, called Vostigar Peaks, a snowy colorful wasteland filled with war between Anhket army and Crucia’s Storm Legion. The zone looks very like Pelladane, and Iron Pine Peak mated with a box of crayons…very nice and colorful, bright pops of yellow and red and green in snow. Love the color choices of the new zone. This category show cased the new area.

Category Two: Summerfest

The new patch brought out Summerfest as well, so all the scavenger hunts, Corgi fashion shows, getting your bikini body ready, and more. You could of went my approach and use how one of my characters celebrates Summerfest, and my dwarf use it with an entourage of shirtless dudes.

Category Three: Vostigar Peaks Video

This was another zone related category, and I showed my favorite part of the world, and also displayed what I do mostly out in this new zone, lots of running, so much running….so much. Everything is out to kill you. Everything is like a little raid boss, might as well be. So this is my dedication to Vostigar Peaks.

Day 15/100: Atlas Reactor

THE NEW CHAPTER MISSIONS ARE OUT! So naturally…had to dedicate a day to doing those chapter missions. The new missions also bring a new type of game mode (have not gotten to play yet, but can at least tell you about it.)

The new chapter missions are:

• Gain 5 season levels
• Play as each type of lancer type. The three lancer types are firepower (damage) frontliner (tank) support (healer/ barrier buddies) play five rounds as each type.
• Win 5 matches in a trust skin. A trust skin is the type of corporations that exist in Atlas Reactor: Hyperbotics, Evos, Omni and Helio Corps. Since they have daily missions where you can earn Hyperbotics skins, it is easy to go after this mission, you just have to make sure you win the 5 matches.
• 50 takedowns, this one is easy, just take down 50 peoples.
• 3 non death match games

The new chapter brought out the new game mode Lights Out. The map is completely in the dark and you have to play ULTIMATE TACTICS and guess where people are hiding at in the dark.

Day 16/100: Fallout 4

I always try to challenge myself when I play this game….the challenge is called the No Scream Stream….try to play without screaming….now I typically always fail this challenge, but this time I was doing SOOOOO GOOD, ran into Mirelurkers and did not even Scream.

AND MIRELURKERS LIAM NESSOM ME CONSTANTLY. They dont know who I am but they love to find me and kill me. I even jumped a little when unlocking a door and a Glowing One Feral Ghoul slapped me silly and killed me by running over a landmine. I even did good with the countless gunners, and robots and super mutants and bugs and dogs chewing me up and spitting me out into irradiated gum….

So where am I going with this? Oh right…where did I fail in my almost perfect challenge where I did not scream? Well….I was sent to get a file in a hospital…filled with Raiders. Nothing to scream over right? Mean one was even using a rocket launcher inside the building, which was only mildly annoying….I got the file. And went downstairs and saw a switch and all I could see was…hey switch, means goodies right! So went down to flip it, turned around and greeted with a charging DEATHCLAW! I screamed sooooo loudly! My husband came out the back room thinking something was wrong with me.

I failed the No Scream Stream challenge again….one day.

Day 13/100: Mass Effect Andromeda

I love love love the mass effect series, Bioware knows how to make action roleplay games well. Played all the other games, so far loving this game. Have not beaten it yet so no one ruin it for me pwease. This game does not follow the Shepard stories, but the same universe, as in your game you can select what gender the Shepard was. But you start as one of the Rhyder twins, whether it be a male or female, you can create what the pair look like as well, and based off that, your father Alec will adjust accordingly, think its based off the presets to be honest. Unlike previous installments in the Mass Effect series, where players begin each new game by choosing from six different character classes that each have their own unique set of skills, players instead have free rein to assign any skills, so you can do what I am doing and be a vanguard solider with a few biotic powers….BEAST MODE.

You still have to explore and gather things to make more things, and you still need to chat up with everyone on the crew of the Tempest to open up character stories and missions. The combat is real time with the abilities of dodging with your suits jetpacks, like a dash.

But the only piece of lore I will give is, somewhere between ME 2 and ME3 the races of the series started to build this project Andromeda, mean for good reasons, they had reapers crawling all over them and it was a good idea to think of the future just in case this did not pan out well for them. Sending vessels filled with each race into deep space. 20k people of each race, 600 years into the future.

The rest you have to find out by playing it.

Day 14/ 100: Rift

Today I venture into classic leveling in Rift, I will explore two old world zones with one of my characters a cute patooot dwarf (dworf). I have ONLY been leveling her the classic way, no speed through dungeon runs, no IAs, no power leveling of any sort, she has leveled the old fashion way, through the storyline, and the only way I go into dungeons is if were all the same level.

I want to see how far questing can get you, currently leveling in Shimmersand, hoping to finish there today and move into Stillmoor, very very close to end game stuff on the original game of Rift. How excited, and it has been fun revisiting all the old lore.

Day 11/100: Tera

Yesterday was a Tera day, another MMO, shocking for me I know. Tera is I will say new generation of MMO, not your standard interface, while in WoW you are stationary for the most part, minimal running at best, this requires a lot of running, your WASD keys, hot keys and your mouse, can be very tricky to navigate your first time out the door. Basically non targeting combat, you have a trigger hair instead hitting tab to target things in most other MMOs. The combat is real time and third person viewed. The game offers a variety of things, questing, dungeons and pvp. The game has seven races, and twelve classes, some of those classes are gender restricted and race restricted.

Yesterday I partook in leveling, and two matches of PVP, and doing some Vanguard missions. The PVP I did was called Kuma Royale, where a team of baby kuma’s have to protect momma, but kill the other momma from the other team. Its completely random but a great way to farm gold and experience. I won one around and lost one round, in my win I went from lvl 20 to lvl 24, and then got 30 gold, so you can see how that helped me a lot.

Day 12/100: Rift

As you can see on my list of days, I play Rift a lot, but today I explored another side of Rift, roleplaying/ dimension building. Dimensions are pretty much character housing, you can create all kinds of things, homes, bases, forts, taverns, the options are endless. I myself create character homes and event dimensions for roleplaying events.

The roleplaying events I do on Rift are like Table Top games, we brought Dungeons and Dragons to Rift but using the lore of the game, and stories we create as friends. We have a HUGE weekend coming up and had to build build build dimensions.

Day 10/100: Rift

Today in my Rift stream I explored the brand new content, Vostigar Peaks. The recent patch 4.2 brought out Summerfest and Vostigar Peaks, which is a level 70 area, great new content great many ways to get ganked and died. Like fighting little raid bosses it seems. The quest…is rather interesting so far. Like very interesting.

I dont want to give away too many spoilers, but this is what is given about the game, Anhket and Crucia showdown, yes Crucia is back, Storm Legion is back, and Anhket has technology that Storm Queen wants, so your stuck in the middle of them trying to kill one another. I say we just let one pick the other off and then take care of the one left standing, but of course that would not be fun right?

Thing that is blowing my mind right now is the lost souls occupying one body, so while you attack these mobs they shape shift into different beings in the game. Its soooo crazy! But a cool concept. Now the cons with the new area is that it is a huge grind fest, and can be tedious, but at least vostigar does offer new content for people, and now the first tier of raid gear so the end gamers are happy.

I have not finished the story quest, but it is well worth doing, as there are some cross overs finishing it. If you finish the story quest in Vostigar Peaks you get Asha sword wardrobe in game, and a Asha costume for Atlas Reactor.

There is also a Trove to Rift cross over as well. And on top of that with Vostigar Peaks, a fellow Trion Creator Seshatar is hosting three contest right now, where you can win 30 Days of Patron and a mount, by submitting a post card of Vostigar Peaks, Summerfest picture and a video show casing Vostigar, so three ways to win patron pass! So…join Rift today!

Day 9/100: Atlas Reactor

I had intentions of playing The Sims 4 today, but today was a day where pain won the game of life, so decided to so something that gave purpose, not that Sims 4 cannot have purpose, but hey I know that Season 3 Chapter 4 missions are coming out next week and it felt like a little mission to get those done.

So Atlas Reactor, my second favorite game by Trion, love it for all the variety in the game, but then there is also missions, while like Heroes of the Storm has missions, this are a little more complex if that says something.

While in Heroes the quest might be win three games, play eight games, play as a assassin character, fine and all, but still easy. Atlas Reactor give you challenges like heal someone for 1000 hp, or do 5000 damage, win 10 matches with 10 different lancers, use taunts, use overcons, collect 100 powerups of matches you win. Those are challenging, at least to me, as all the Season 3 Chapter 3  missions only went towards the quest if you won the match, so had to rack up in a lot of games to win and it count for the mission.

You have several weeks between each chapter and you can also backtrack, but been trying to stay ahead and not get behind, because chapter one I have to grind the night of the start of chapter two, literally finished chapter one like ten minutes before server came down and chapter two start. TALK about anxiety rage mode. But you can backtrack, so sort of did that rage mode for nothing. T…T

Look out Season 3 Chapter 4, ready for your quest, so Bring it!

Day 6 & 7/100: Fallout 4

Outside of Rift and Trion Games, I am quite the Bethesda fan girl, the Fallout series is one of my favorite game series, and it is very hard for you to get me to pick one of the games to love the most (Fallout 3 is the one winning of the games) they each have something about them I love. Fallout 4 is the newest edition to the list, and will say they added a lot more Wow to this game.

How does one define such Wow? Well sure there is wonderful graphics, but my wow for me is there is no where save in the wasteland…mean you run away from one thing and run into another, and then the next and the next until you find yourself hiding in a camper in the fetal position crying…or is that just me? You feel like your actually trying to survive. Which hey if the world is a dystopia apocalyptic wasteland, then yes you should be surviving it. The decisions in this game is so much more heavy, like it greatly effects how other NPCs interact with you. Now my one con is they made the Brotherhood of Steel come off as jerks….come  on those were my heroes in Fallout 3…. le sigh, part of me roots for them still, but they are jerks in Fallout 4.

Oh and what do Mirelurkers have against me? I swear they are out to Liam Nessom me..they dont know who I am, but they will find me and kill me. I never succeed in my stream challenge, always challenge myself to not scream…but I always scream. Yesterday screamed about…a scorpion. To be fair they were HUGE and two of them and they jumped right into my screen when I turned around.

Day 8/100: Heroes of the Storm 

On today’s roster of games to play, I will be playing Heroes of the Storm. This is my current favorite Moba, which I am never been the biggest fans of before this, because well, you have objectives, and challenges, and quest and can collect things. Anyone who is an achievement hunter, from other games, loves to collect things. makes grabby hands

I have a hard time picking who my favorite Heroes are of this game, think Nazeebo and Cassia, there are so many to pick from. But Heroes offers many ways to play the game, against AI, PVP, Ranked matches, custom matches and then my favorite….Brawl.

Brawl is always some themed match, where you do not get to pick your hero. Your stuck with either a selection or one picked for you already, which really challenges your gameplay, most of the time I am stuck with melee characters which I am not the good at, or support characters that I don’t do well with…or then those random characters I have never played and don’t know any of the moves too. Its challenging but lots of fun. Highly recommend this game.
