Ahhh, waterworks!

Yes, Finally I'm back into one of my favourites zones of the game, The Water-Works in Moria. This time, things have changed, instead of singing around and make others suffer with my melodies while my allies gets more and more morale... I'm just "sniping" and one shooting frogs, lizard, spiders and ocassionally Goblins that I found in my way. Also, I can use track without getting lost or finding myself with a huge wall between me and my prey...

This time, also, I reached this great place with the level that I really need it to be in here, around 55 and 56, and sadly, due I have been working a bit hard in the quests there, I'm going to be 57 in no time... Well, thats not so sure, since I got a new proyect at works and its going to take away from me my free time until (At least) December 2. just to explain it easily: We need to make 200 reproductions of some paintings in Fine Art for that time, we still have no negative of the original and we have selected already the time work... I got the night-time.

Spending the night in the office its not new for me, maybe the fact that I'm going to be stuck at the office without Lotro, just hearing the Plotter running and watching series... well, that "may" gonna suck a bit. A lot. LOT... in fact. Anyway, I could download the game im here, at the office, but its gonna take a bit longer than usual, same net for all the Macs in here, everyone checking youtube, facebook, Twitter... oh, wait.. did you think that this was a serious office? hehe yeah.. right.. anyway... The downloading time tis gonna be just awfully.

That why I downloaded a new game, that if is worthy I will talk about later, in another post, for the moments lets just stick at Water works :3 shall we?

Looking at this screen has made me realize something... Aside the beuty of the Waterworks, of course..
If I had the Red Hauberk for the Screen, it could have been more like Castlevania :3

One of the things that I never did with Varsalla due her fragility (Prior the RoI, of course) was leaving unvisited the catacombs like tunnels filled with water. Not the part with the little dwarf waiting for the steel cogwheel but the other, located bit more north, near the great wheel structure. Since Khas have traps, AoE grabs, one shooter skills and slow skills... and run a bit more faster than usual, I decided to spend a long time there...
It may see that I was lost, but I was, in fact, admiring the place and the colors of the scenery...
While I was lost, of course.
Oh, look... the Dwarf... its all connected... meh...
So yes, you can reach the same place going either for the fast, boring way filled with noble Toads and Lizards that dont want to be disturbed... or you can get into the watery catacombs and get lost with almost no chance to find the right way while you confront Salamanders and evil, green glowing, worms... I had fun with the long way, but quests are quests and getting lost is not that funny sometimes. Ah, and yes, if you jump and fall into the water....you will break your leg, it happen to me.

One of the most amazing things is that I found a old friend of Varsalla, the rare toad Swartgut, which I killed (again) to reclaim my useless now, mithril flake. I'm really expecting to get some use for those, I have like 15 right now and I dont just wanna sell them in the AH or drop them in my bank or in the floor... I wish I had a time machine. >.<

The coldblooded Hunter aiming directly to the heart of the innocent Toad, almost point blank shot.
Cruel world, cruel things...

From all the quests that I had in my log, this one the one that I didnt like most... not just because
you have to clean the place, but because you have to go back, kill some dragonets and take their acid gland out...
its just too much walking.
 Hopefully, I can be at Lorien soon, of course, after December 2, since I wont have too much of a time to play the game during this proyect, but... Maybe I will bring my computer here and MAYBE, I can play a bit while I'm stuck in here... lets see, so far, right now, I'm gonna try: Heroes of Newerth... that's the game that I was mentioning few lines back,lets see what it looks like.. so far, good luck my friends! see you later! :3

Back into Moria

Yes, Back into moria, since I decided to leave behind for a long time my little lvl 73 minnie know as Varsalla, I have been playing a lot with khas, which I declared as my main in my new kinship. I wont say that i didnt had fun with Varsalla, and specially after Rise of isengard with all the OP setup that they gave to us, but right now, using a player that actually can walk into Moria without troubles (Still, using my track skill is quite useless) and use a strategy to burn them down (Goblins and Orcs) is right now my new hobbie.

Sadly, or maybe luckily, I'm already at lvl 55, almost 56 with Khas and the idea of reaching Lorien and then Mirkwood is getting each day even better. I say sadly because being in Moria reminds me how horrible it was with the old Minnie setup and all the troubles that I had, specially those which made me play with Serendis and Vhaleria as well for a long time, thinking that perhaps Minnies without groups were just bait for the goblins. And now that I'm thinking about this, I'm happy to have my horrible, tedious and scary experience inside the mines with my minnie, it made me to be more.. cautios? dont know really, but right now I think twice sometimes.

Dings! lvl 54 at Jazargung... or something like that :)

Playing a Hunter is like playing with a cheat on, it is true that I do really miss the Feign Death Skill from Varsalla, yet I have Desperate flight from time to time, which has helped me a lot of times, and others have been used even as a fast way to arrive to towns. But what I enjoy more with my hunter are the traps, lots of them, in battle, outside battle, AoE traps, triple traps, lure traps, lots of them and they are all mine. Also, blasting skills, such as heart seeker... Nothing else to say but I have done some one shoots randomly.
 
One good thing about being in Moria again is that I'm not longer a stranger in these lands... eeeerr.. caves... I know the drill, the tricks, the long ways (Sadly I totally forgot the shortcuts) and where to lvl up when the need is heavy. I'm almost getting a lvl per day, sometimes a bit less, of course, and I'm leaving this place so fast, not even using the leveling stone.

DING! lvl 55 in Orc's Watch!

One zone that has been giving me troubles, are the Flammings deeps, geeez.. Lost, totally lost in that place...and enemies do cheats!

Hey.. I can't do that! You filthy orc!

What?! Even rats can do that!

One of the greatest zones in all Flamming Deeps... The door to nowhere...
seriously, it leads to nowhere...
So, yes, hunters are nastiers than Minnies.. doh... specially with the Heart Seeker, which has been like my first attack in every fight, few of those fights were only that, a heart seeker attack and done. his dead, I'm looting while laughing a bit.

in the middle of the fight: Stun melee + heat seeker + merciful shot = :3

Also, I decided to work my professions at the same time as i was leveling, I guess that I could get more privileges or maybe get more use to all those recipes that I work so hard in getting them. Besides, I could get some gold if I do serious work on that.. I have to try. :)

clink, clink, clink!
Wel, I gotta go, I have this urgent need to paly with the Sonic Screwdriver that I got ealier :3 I'm such a freak! i know right? :D No, seriously, I need to go to my home, its quite late in here and I was stuck at the office due the rain. Good luck my friends! and have a great hunting! :D

Reaching the end of the year...

Things have been gone crazy lately around myr work, life and... well, that´s all, work and life.. I have been working a lot, getting sometimes really upset, a bit just "not motivated" with some clients, lots of new things to learn and mostly: No life to spare with other human beings...

Hardly Lotro, and trust me, it´s true on the "Hardly". This last week, however, it was quite different, I decided not to kill myself at work as long as few of us only does and enjoy more my life, going out, relaxing, playing Lotro and watching series, especially this last one.

Few things changed, as I mentioned in my last post.. like a month or more ago, sorry about that, and it´s time to explain them:

-Khas has become my my main-

Yes, my hunter has become my Main, while I still love playing with Varsalla and I am a Fan of the new minnies changes in the game, I need to admit that for some reason, Varsalla its not longer my favourite character anymore, and it´s not due the class or the expack (which at the beginnign was awesome and at the end become more than the usual stuff... I barely understand the reason why with the expack they didnt launched the instances as well and kept us waiting for like 2 months for them, maybe a bit more.. and we are still waiting, of course...) but due the name. How silly, right? Yeah, I know, it´s silly, but that´s me, as I explain it in the new Kin: "Khas is Khas, she earned her spot in my epic battles, and she will be always the chosen one".. hehe not that words, but same.. almost same idea..

For those who doesnt know Khas, here, take a screen, from the first Khas in WoW (Sentinel server and Andorhal Server, both US servers.), to the new Khas in LotrO.

Last screen that I took with the set that I loved most, Few days before leaving  the game due Cataclysm
horrible expack. the new armor type (Back then, i dont know how good they look now) was just... ick..

You see that little spot with what it seems to be a Bow? that´s Khas.. Sorry
I didnt had a new screen after all, right now I´m at 54 :3
And by the way.. I didnt do that disaster back there... I  swear it!

I feel a bit more motivated to play a bit more, a lot more in fact, since hunters are all about strategy, you can handle several enemies at one just if you are careful enough to avoid troubles. With the new Minnie changes, I was just going berserker with Varsalla, I didn´t care if they were 2 mob or 5 mobs, they all deserved to die at the same time... Minnies, just in case, they got overpowered, and they deserve it as well, after 65 lvls (previous expacks) of pain and suffering while suffering, killed several times in the Pvp zone and more... now they finally got their revenge.

-New Kin, some new friends, some old friends-

Yes, I left The Order of the Silver Flame like a bit more of a month ago, I need it a change and I was mostly playing alone while several friends from my country where running aroudn with this Kin, Hispania, in which I am now. I´m not so sure how bad idea was doing this change, so far in both Kin I had great moments, and I owe a lot to the Order since they were for me when I started to play the game.. again... after Cataclysm. the Order is a great Kinship and I would recommend it with my eyes close, but I was having some troubles with the language and that, along my friends all in thye same Kin, made my mind easily. and I had to change.

-Series, lots of them.-

Yes, since I dont have enough time to spent on the game, well, I have it, yet if  start playing I know that I could be awake until very late and that would not be the best for me right now, especially with the lots of things to do in the office. I was watching Modern Family, which I found pretty nice and they had some great jokes, also, Castle new season started and every week I´m eating my nails waiting for the next episode, and for some reason 30 Rock hasnt started yet... what wrong with them? the season 5 was the last one? :(

BUT! aside those series, I got 2 new ones that I could recommend a lot. Community, I dont know, it´s sometimes silly but I would be lying if I say that I dont enjoy it a lot, some of the jokes are just like me, weird and freak, and somehow cruel.. I´m not cruuuuuuel, but I love cruel jokes sometimes.

And Dr. Who... I dont know if is a bad thing or not to declare myself as a Whovian, since so far I have only watched the serie since Christopher Eccleston to the last episode of the serie 6, with Matt Smith, and all the christmas specials, and I got a pair of old fasiones 3D glasses (Cyan and red glasses) that I carry with me almost all the time and I just ordered a Sonic screwdriver that hopefully i will have this week... Monday, to be honest, I want it for Monday, but I´m not going to be that optimistic.

I wont describe, for now, Dr. Who... I gotta go and I know that I will be talking about that show for like hours and lots of posts, so I will save that for later.

I really have to go, ppl is waiting for me, sadly, almost in the other side of the city... and I´m still unready to go... Yes.. "unready" if that word exists :3 Good luck my friends! I´ll be back in few days, I just need to keep updating this, I really need it for myself. Good hunting :D
