Thoughts on stuff and things. Eventually, I’m going to have a nicely compiled chart of all the places to spend ya points.

https://jjloraine.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/disc-priesting-for-tier-15-part-2
Thoughts on stuff and things. Disc Priesting for Tier 15 (part 2). Asymp; Leave a comment. So I’ve turned into a bit of a raidlogger these past few months. I’ve been busy diving back into Aetolia. Lately, and the type of immersion and engagement you get in a roleplay-focused game with a much more intimate community…is heady.

So, a post. Since I’ve been lazy. 1 Jin’rokh the Breaker. The banshees here put a debuff on everyone, reducing healing done, so once you get 5 stacks for archang...

Thoughts on stuff and things. The Curious Case of Catalysts. Asymp; 2 Comments. I haven’t posted in a while, and this post is going to be a fairly serious one – I am not going to write about gameplay or mechanics or design today, but instead talk about a curious facet of multiplayer gaming most of us have experienced but rarely are comfortable looking directly at: the complex emotions driving the players behind the avatars. Stop Doing. That. So what CAN you do? 8211; Be insightful. 8211; Be constructive.
