I want to give a quick thanks to the RP:ers that "helped" me out with this video. 
What can I say, this server rules ;) 

Guild Wars 2 Wintersday 2012

 
So I am a big sucker for anything that has to do with Christmas, so naturally I was over my head when GW2 was going to launch Wintersday. I was sitting there bouncing in my chair waiting for the patch to come out. And boy....was I disappointed. I'm sorry ArenaNet! I totally fell in love with the Halloween patch and played every single part of it (and died alot doing it). Dispite the problems with the patch updates, servers going down, that you sometimes couldn't log in, I loved it all. So when this new patch was going to come out, I think I had a bit too high expectations. Now it looked absolutely stunning, I will give them that. The whole art style was amazing and I don't think anyone can claim anything else. But the content of the patch was...weak? 
I did play alot of it, thinking that it would win me around but I'm sorry to say that it didn't. Yes they didn't have as much trouble with this patch but that was about it. 
The dungeons was...fun...the first time. But then when the rest of them came out and it was practically the same thing, over and over again it left me feeling like I wanted something more. 
 
I guess that some of it can have to do with the fact that the whole thing revolved around Tixx. 
Seeing how Tixx is a toymaker this patch could've been made into so much more. Starting from the weaponskins. Come on ArenaNet, you could've done that so much better. None of the skins spoke to me, yes the toy skins were cute and the swords looked adorable but the brown ones? Really now? 
I have to give it to them though the plush griffon was one of my favorite things ever in the game. That thing is too cute. 
 
 
Winter Wonderland- 

This was the jumping puzzle for the Wintersday patch. It had just like the Halloween puzzle a timed element to it and many people had troubles getting through it. As it's stated on the website "It’ll take more than a good pair of snow boots to get you through this Wintersday’s jumping puzzle." 

 
Snowball Mayhem-

Ever wanted to smack people in the face with snowballs? Well in Snowball Mayhem you could do just that. This was the PvP activity for the Wintersday. 
 
Bell Choir-

With this part of the patch you could ring in the season inside the Lion's Arch snow globe. This had a bit of guitarr hero to it and if you hit all the right notes you got an award. This was the only part of the patch that I didn't had a go at. It just didn't speak to me all that much and I heard that I wasn't the only one feeling like that. 
 
Well I don't think I have to say that this patch chocking enough wasn't for me. And I do hope that with the next event things will pick up again. I would hate to see that ArenaNet have dropped the (snow)ball for good. Now I do want to say that this does not affect my love for the game itself. I will still be playing and I'm sure that some people won't agree with my thoughs about the events. This is just MY own thoughts and everyone else is free to think whatever they want. 
So now when this rant is over let's look forward to 2013 in Guild wars 2. 
 

 


Forsaken World

 
 

Today we will be looking into Forsaken World, it's a 3D fantasy MMORPG that is set in the world of Eyrda. The game is published by the same studio behind Perfect World and is inspired by European mythology. It is a game that offers 5 races, 8 classes, guild battles and over 10 occupations. 
 
Forsaken World is Perfect World Entertainments sixth MMORPG for the North American market. March 09, 2011 was the officiall open beta launch for the game. The game original features included a vampire race that they called Kindred, the ability for up to 10 players per server to become Gods, a simply unique PvP system, floating fortresses that the different guilds could fight over and a wide range of skill effects. 

Unlike the previous games that had been launched from Perfect World Games, Forsaken World is set in a Western fantasy world. Before most of their games have been set in a more oriental setting. Other games from the company is such as Jade Dynasty, Ether Saga Online, Battle of the Immortals, Rusty Hearts and Legend of Martial Arts. 

Races: Stoneman, Elf, Dwarf, Human, Kindred. 

Occupations: Socialite, Adventurer, Merchant, Collector, Arcanist, Botanist, Astrologist, Armorsmith, Blacksmith, Tamer & Alchemist. 

Classes
Warrior- A centeral figure in any group. The warriors have a high health and can deal heavy duty damage at close range. 
Protector- This is the tank or defensive fighter of the Forsaken World. The protectors absorbs the blows for their allies. They also have a high health and defense but a limited damage output. 
Assasin- Assasins are the masters of stealth, they deal high damage at close range but are very light armored, that makes it harder for them to stand toe to toe with the enemies for a longer time.
Marksman- This is the class that wields the long-ranged weapons in Forsaken Worlds. They picks off their enemies from a distance. The Marksman deal consistent damage over time, this is also a class that are lightly armored. 
Mage- These are the masters of the elements, they are portraited as the dieing breed in Forsaken World but those that still remain are deadly. This is the glasscanon of the game, with high damage output but low defense and health. 
Priest- The Priest is a supportive caster, they heal and bolster the fighting capabilites amongst their allies. 
Vampire- This is one of the more unique classes in Forsaken World, it's a mysterious class that mixes magic with melee attacks. Vampires uses their own health to perform attacks and absorb the life of their enemies. But they do not sparkle! 
Bard- This is yet another supportive class, the music produced by the barn can effect those around them. They can disable enemies and buff allies nearby.

 

 
I have to say that it's really hard to find something that's missing from Forsaken World. The game has a dozen options that lets the players gain levels and you can really spend your time in the game however you wish. The world it's set in is truly beautiful and well detailed, the grafics are really good something that I wasn't expecting before trying the game out. Plus you never really feel rushed when you're playing. 
I would say that after trying this and some other games from Perfect World Entertainment out, this could be one of their best games so far. So if you are after yet another MMORPG to try out I don't see the harm in downloading it and giving it a go. I will for one continue playing even after this trial run. Plus I bet you that you will love the armor in the game....Enough said.
