Vanguard: We make out like the banits we are
We enter, we grind, woo wee. At level 14, we are a little high for the stuff in Riftseekers. Going a little crazy was our only way to make it fun. Normally, I’m a conservative puller. I like mobs one at a time, with little risk. Last night, I was shooting for a little chaos just to keep everybody engaged and awake. My crazy ways almost bit us when Mark went down - I thought he went down. He got a heal off, on himself, well after I thought he was dead. I was already figuring out our corpse run.
The evening couldn’t have turned out better. Mark picked up the same chest armor I received last time. Plus, we were happy to learn, Xathok drops a light armor version as well, so Mike got a fancy new outfit too. Mark looted a very nice hammer with healing and intelligence stats. We all dinged 15 and those level 12 4-dot bats became much easier.
It was our absolutely last visit; I’m not going again. We are back to the level we were, on the production server, before our move to test. I think everybody is enjoying test. There isn’t much of an economy though. I did a ‘/who all’ as we were entering the dungeon, and there were 35 players on the test server. We need to be self-sufficient. Test server player’s gear usually isn’t as nice as a production server player’s. We can’t purchase upgrades.
