Neverwinter First Impressions!

2013-05-21T10:41:00.001-05:00

Hey guys,
Currently I have a level 25 Trickster Rouge.
Three things I want to mention before I go into detail.
1. The game is in BETA. (don't expect anything)
2. Exploits are currently having their way with the currencies in game; Astral Diamonds, Gold, and Zen.
3. This game is completely FREE. Yet there is end-game items able to be bought with REAL MONEY (pay-to-win trolls engage)

Starting out

As soon as I logged in I could tell that the graphics were ABOVE AVERAGE. But of course I'm stuck on low settings and I do lag in graphically intense areas (cities, battlegrounds, boss fights) so I would suggest you have a decent computer before you play if you want the full experience. I'm going to briefly go over the races because the choice in races in this game is almost irrelevant. Though the modifiers are IMPORTANT, you DO NOT have to pick Tiefling because you want to play the Control Wizard and they have the Intel modifiers.

1. Human (+2 to any ability score)
2. Elf (+2 to Dex, +2 Intel or Wis)
3. Dwarf (+2 Cons, +2 Str or Wis)
4. Tiefling (+2 Char, +2 Cons or Intel)
5. Halfling (+2 Dex, +2 Char or Cons)
6. Half Elf (ME) (+2 Dex, +2 Cons or Char)
7. Half Orc (+2 Dex, +2 Con or Str)

The class system in Neverwinter is pretty unique, yes it DOES revolve around the trinity system (tank, healer, DPS) but you really dont have to follow it. I'll cover that in a little more detail below.

I'm back!

Hey guys!

Sorry for not posting in awhile, school had me tied up but now thats it's summer im going to start the blog again! I probably could've kept the blog going but I wasn't playing as much so I feel like I would be teaching things that aren't necessarily the best or new.

I've been playing a lot recently and the game has completely changed. I wouldn't say that the blog is not out of date to the point that it isn't useful. So feel free to view old posts. But from this point on I will be designing and updating the blog everyday.

Another thing, ANOTHER BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

I will be featuring another game on the blog too this summer. I have a feeling the second game will be an MMORPG but it will be constantly changing due to the inconsistance of MMOs at this time. Right now, I'm playing NEVERWINTER, a Dungeons&Dragons game made by Cryptic Studios who is owned by Perfect World. Its kind of a sequel to the traditional Neverwinter Nights series as it is heavily influenced by it.

ONE MORE THING! LIVESTREAM!

My brother, who will probably be playing with me often will have a stream up most of the time, I'll post a link when I get home, im currently at school for the LAST week!

Thanks guys

Free champions this week!

I had to...

Diablo damn 3

2012-04-02T23:39:00.000-05:00

Jesus..... A release date. Most amazing moment of my life when I saw the announcement. When it comes out I will definitely be posting some on Diablo 3 PvP/PvE. Until 5/15 I'll just have to dream.

Tell me what you need help with!

If anyone has a specific request for a guide for a champion/role in League of Legends I'd be glad to help, just comment!

Help with supporting.

2012-03-29T12:17:00.002-05:00

Support is a very simple, yet tremendously game changing, as well as complicated for the role you have to perform. Wards, simple 75g or 125g item that could either make you lose or win the game (just lost the game). Generally you will want to start the game with Meki Pendant, 2 green wards, 3 hp pots, 1 mana pot. take the same thing but change the green ward to pink for early game ganks (Shyvana, Lee Sin, Shaco, Tryndamere) so you can kill the enemy teams ward for early lane control. Green wards and other pink wards can be spotted by pink wards as well as oracles (talk about that later), so you will want to put pink wards at more crucial parts of the map; Baron, Dragon, Tri-bushes, and river entrances. mid-late game you can grab an oracles elixir to have excellent map control by destroying enemy wards. Another important factor to support is WHERE you place the wards, like exact location.

With this ward placement you can get more vision covering 6 very important locations around dragon. Other important support items would be Shurelya's Reverie, Aegis of the Legion, Soul Shroud, Zeke's Herald and Frozen Heart as well as GP5 items like Heart of Gold, Philosophers Stone and Kage's Lucky Pick. Here's a map showing some key ward placements.

Any questions just comment.

The tournament in North America is starting up so you should probably buy a new computer chair soon, back pain FTL.

I'll try to keep you guys posted on the brackets and wins/losses during the competition.
Stay classy San Diblogo (see what I did there?)

Since Caitlyn is free, here is a really good placement chart for her traps for lane/map control.

This weeks free week is a very good one if you are an unexperienced player,

x2 Lee Sin Jungle Routes

2012-03-28T01:43:00.003-05:00

Two Jungle Lee Sin Routes (also can be played top):

One passive, leave jungle to gank at level 4. (all camps)

One aggressive, level 2 at red. immediate gank on enemy jungle (if started at blue) and gank on bot, mid or top. early. how I play him.

The best

2012-03-28T01:16:00.000-05:00

I'm going to run through the best champs of each role as my perspective, through gameplay and observation I have found these champions the best, though they do have downsides.

AP MID - Morgana (AoE, Spellshield, 2 forms of CC, plenty of damage even when playing tanky)
AD CARRY - Vayne (Large AD steroid, Invis, CC (knockback), 2 gap closers, true % damage)
Caitlyn, i agree that Vayne is the best, Caitlyn is my favorite though and I will talk about why.
SUPPORT - Taric/Janna couldn't decide (CC, + Steriods, Heals,)
JUNGLE - Lee Sin (steroids, high mobility even without flash, cc, heavy slow, 2 gap closers, good duelist)
TOP - AD Riven (mobility is high, cc, steroids, good duelist, sustained damage, shield)
AP Rumble (LOTS OF DAMAGE, huge slows[good for 1v1], plenty of sustained damage, shield)

Terms

2012-03-28T01:15:00.001-05:00

I guess I should make this for any new players that don't know the "lingo" for League of Legends.

gg = good game
steroid = (Vayne gains 25 Attack Damage) giving your AD a boost, or a "steroid".
b = back, or fall back in your lane.
imba = imbalanced, or overpowered.
op = over powered.
red = aura granted by killing the lizard, slows and deals bonus damage
blue = aura granted by killing the golem, massive mana regen, and 20% cooldown reduction
baron buff = Each champion from the killing team gets 40 AD and AP, as well as health mana regen.
Dragon = boss, when killed give 190 gold to all players on killing team
CDR = cooldown reduction
AD = attack damage
AP = ability power
crit = critical strike chance
Armor/Magic pen = penetrates the enemies armor or magic resists.

You can base many LoL matchups and who to play by looking at the tier lists at that link and the links found near it, the solo queue list wont be up for awhile due to the fact that Elementz is on tour. The NA (North America US East & West) the meta is Tanky/Pusher/Good Sustain top lane, AP mid, Jungling jungler, Ranged AD carry and a support bot lane. Other servers can differ. Mainly I play a jungler or other forms of damage, not so much on the support or tank side, though I do know how to play these roles well.
