Vanguard: I putter around
Not much happening in my gaming world. I’ve been working at Vanguard crafting, it’s too boring to even think about. I got home late last night and wanted to do something, other than crafting, so took my 12 Necro, on test server, for a run in Riftseeker dungeon.
I didn’t make it in as far as expected when I pulled too many, trying to get through a door, and died. No biggie, fifteen minutes later I returned to my corpse to find, “That corpse is not a valid target,” when trying to loot. I camped and came back - same thing. It’s not a major loss, experience, a few quest items, loot from the evening, binding doohickey and newbie berries. Do you lose your cash? I forgot to look. I camped in the dungeon, I’ll try that corpse again tonight. My camp spot is in the path of one walking mob. There was a patch recently, the notes of which said, Necros who camp with pet will have a pet when returning. It shouldn’t matter. I can take that mob with or without.
Ok, crafting isn’t sooo bad. It’s easily done while watching a movie. I switch the mouse to my other hand to help with carpal tunnel issues. I’m just grinding work orders for experience and cash. I was disconnected from server in the middle of a multi-part work order and thought I’d lose the whole thing. Didn’t happen. On my return, it was as if I hadn’t started. I lost nothing.
I see LOTR open beta starts tonight. I’ve heard good things about it. I might give it a look. I like the music making part. I have a USB piano keyboard that I hear might be possible to use in-game.
