• • Mirror's Edge - The Game of a Million Trials

  • If you're anything like me and hate playing sequences over and over in a game because it's just too difficult, you might want to consider against buying this game from Digital Illusions. I have played it for some five levels now and i must have died or missed jumps close to 300 times at this point. The game is nothing short of frustrating, and yet, not far from brilliant in it's simplicity and design.

    The only two things bothering me about Mirror's Edge are as mentioned above, the number of times you need to repeat certain parts, and also, that there are annoying loading sequences in the middle of the action. These small interruptions really break the oh-so-essential flow in the game - and once you get going, you can find a run that will really get your heart pumping.

    The story so far is very interesting as you follow Faith trying to free her sister from false accusations of a murder she didn't commit.  I do love the contrast of the almost immaculate city against the dystopian big-brother government, watching and spying on its citizens. The graphics are beautiful but somewhat repetitive.

    I can't help to think that Mirror's Edge would make a great television series or perhaps a feature movie.

• • I am so pissed at my poor Rune Priest

  • I have reached the rank of 17 and now it is confirmed... i cannot win in PvP against ANY dps or tank classes. I have encountered anything from three ranks lower and up - they all kill me without even breaking a sweat. I think i have pretty decent armor for my level with extra boost stats, still this doesn't help me much.

    It seems that the only careers i might stand a chance against are lower level magica or other healers - i don't know? I can't see any reason for anyone to choose a Rune Priest if you're a slightest bit into RvR. Too bad i have gotten this far... the thing is that RP is really fun to play PvE and in groups of course.

• • What career has the best change to survive in RvR - not counting player skill?

  • Player skill/gear/spec/level means a lot, but as a level 11 Rune Priest i get my ass kicked a lot in 1-on-1 combat. Maybe it's the career as such? Maybe it's poor player skills? But are there any careers that in it's basic nature do have a dendancy to be the last standing in PvP?

    If so... how should one spec? I have tried Rune, now i want to try and find something that could kick the other sides ass for once.

• • What would an MMO without orcs, dwarfs and elves be like?

    Age of Conan is fantasy and that has no dwarves or elves, of course it's not high fantasy but then again of course it's not, because elves, orcs and dwarves define high fantasy.

     

    Well, there you see my ignorance... i didn't realize that fantasy was split up into different categories like that. Never heard of the term "high-fantasy" before so thanks! =)
