Echow as Elyos (Mastarius Set) from Aion Online
Ugh, the nerd in me LOVES this cosplay. So much work to “build” all that >.>
Pitty that there isn’t some skin that looks like this in game (other than the lol-original) …was there some NCSoft shop sale with this? I highly doubt it. YAH i don’t give a crap about the armour stats lol…just the fluffy wings on the armour. :D (the armour isn’t bad either of course).
Leaving these here because:
PWI is still a beautiful game
Most beautiful things in life are useless (lol?)
I’m proud of my high lvl skills that i never use
I made 50 pics and only these 4 look ALMOST as good as reality
Wanna fool ppl to play this game and waste a small fortune THEN QQ on forums
Tera went out of it’s mind and decided to be worse than a f2p. The enchanting exploit reminds me of “Duke Rose Affair” in PWI (only the elders of the game know)
“Duke Rose Affair?” What PWI’s, first Valentine’s event where they gave us 2 patches of roses to pic from, only to get nuked constantly by PKers and lvl80 assholes that dragged Jewels’ to the spot to aoe nuke debuff us all? XD Good times…good times.
Oh, uhm, “the duke rose affair” is…in a way connected with valentine’s event from 2009 because they came pretty much at the same time. this issue let me without a huge ammount of very good friends and i quited my lvl 80 veno for 1 month(yeah my pwi breaks used to be rather..short lol)
In cash shop, for val.day, a wild duke rose set appeared. And it had a glitch. You could npc it with HUGE ammount of money..like buy a set from shop *with Real Money* and sell it for way-too-much in-game coins. A part of the community abused this glitch…and i mean…ABUSED it lol. I still remember the morning i logged in and allll west district was OUT OF KITTY SHOPS. And it had been no mainteinance. They bought everything…like locusts. Of course PWE took all servers down and…without a roll back they managed to fix the economy…checking every glitcher’s “shopping bag” and restoring everything…and of course permanently banned the abusers. It was a hard work for them and i appreciated that they avoided the rollback at all costs, knowing how bad it is a whole day of grinding waisted. And yeah, sadly, many of my friends did that. But it was somewhat unfair because RL money were involved and PWE did not refund all the sets ppl bought, not an excuse for using an exploit but..meh..whatever…And they all quitted for good…
Good times but also a bit sad :)
(sorry for the wall of text >.>talking about pwi…looks like sometimes i cant stop)
Very close to level 33. After i began playing again…and this time i’m not alone anymore, i started to see the game in another perspective…and is much more fun like this. Most fun thing to do: duo elites and instances. NTC-done. FT-next :)
I just can’t get used to the insane amount of purples-ganking-newbies f2p has brought upon us.When the home deffence buff is not in effect…oh gosh…they kill me even between NPC’s or in a few shots right next to guards. SOOOO many purples attacking me in large groups (4-5-6) when i’m alone. Oh, well, i’ll get my revenge >:-)
Now i’m sharing my time between a crap-load of RL events (like my brother’s wedding preparations)…a lil’ bit of job, working in the garden in weekends, TERA (cancelled subscription) and mostly AION. I really feel like my life is passing by me and i’m just watching it flow without understanding a damn.
*no time for philosophy…must do stuff*

I can’t believe i have a very active subscription for TERA, and i’m…back to AION.
I took in all seriousness my mentoring job, because my bf said he wants to give AION another chance. I’m not sure how long he’s gonna play but, i’ll help him. We have some RL friends around lvl 40 and we want to reach them, me with Des, my cleric and bf with a templar, because, he’s the “meat-shield” in every game. There are some awkward similarities with how we started to play PWI…and that just makes me dizzy remembering all the drama we’ve been through lol.
Anyways…AION…i’m back to stay for a while :)
And the saga continues (sorry for the picture spam lol)
It doesn’t actually have the epicness of a saga, nor the sentimental implication some other games have into their main story, nor the twists i was expecting for a story with such a potential …but i got used to it. I actually felt odd knowing Samael is a traitor…but i should have expected considering his name. Yeah, even when they go well, the Tera creators manage to break the mistery with some mundane very easy to digest, “never go beyond the fence” attitude.
I don’t want to go further with the wrong; the game doesn’t deserve all the hate that keeps going around it. Maybe some other time :) after i play some more.
I really love this review, because finally someone focuses on something that i’m also totally interested in when it comes to GW2: the content available to people that love to duo.
After almost 2 years of 80% duo-ing with bf in PWI (and the other 20%was helping newbies and doing the hellish chain quests/low lvl FB’s), i REALLY need another game that gives me a break with the “only-xx-player-raids-available-at-cap-level…and nothing more” Of course i don’t mind a game having raids, all you huge guilds out there really need those, WoW educated you good :P but…it’s sad how all other content at cap level becomes pointless after raiding kicks in.
I HATE how i reached a dead-end in RIFT.We were doing repeats for no reward, doing chronicles for absolutely no reward, Rifts were monotonous and ..yeah, after a point, completely unrewarding (only the very rare drops were something fun to hunt), then the 10 man raids…then, pretty much nothing. Our hectic game schedule had nothing in common with the perfect organisation a raid needs. And also, after raiding in WoW, i feel no pleasure in doing that anymore because I HAVE TO.
In AION i found a good approach to small squads, just the two of us did a good ammount of lower lvl instances, but bf hates it’s pvp system…so that’s a no go
In TERA, i know bams are fun to duo, but i don’t know about instances…and also, if you’re not in a big guild on a PvP server, at this time, you’re prohibited to experience a huge part of the cap lvl content. That’s ….what makes me be a bit…uncertain about TERA’s future in my gaming program.
I really wish what’s written in this review would be available also for higher level content, if it will..i most definitely found my game too :)
