The Return to Azeroth…

By alex

Too long has it been since he felt the weight of his armour bearing down on his body…

Too long has it been since has he felt the cold steel of his weapon cutting through the scourge…

Firelight stood up from his bed, it had been a long night..filled with fantastical dreams about a far away place and time.

The call of Ice Crown haunted him in his sleep as well, drawn by the power of the Light to conquer evil and stand up and be counted once again.

He walked to his cupboard, opened it and removed his armour.

Carefully placing each item onto his body, the cold plate armour brought back memories of days long since past.

Picking up his sword, he ran his fingers along the blade….”Still Sharp..” he thought.

Placing the sword into its holster he walked out….into Azeroth…the time had come to return to the place where he felt he could make a difference once more…

Arthas…I hope you’re still waiting for me..

43 Days in…STO Update

By alex

Hey people – been a little while since I’ve done an update here, so lets go over whats happened in game since then.

I made Rear Admiral 5 on the 13th of Feb – 2 days after my last post shortly after Cryptic opened the borg area that you can access from Admiral 3 (Level 43) and the daily quest to start the grind for epic gear that you buy with badges of exploration.

The new missions included a brilliant mission where you’re re-united with Q! This mission was a real laugh and you get send back in time to Wolf 359 to ensure a certain Station commander is not killed by the borg.

A couple of weeks later they released the first of 5 new episodes of content – called the Infected.

This is what I would call one of the first really major challenges in the game – Its brilliant even if it is quite difficult – I’ve not completed it yet, but I’ve only tried it the once as it seems to take 1-2 hours to complete if you have a reasonable group.

The 2nd episode and first major update to the game is coming this week – I cant wait to get that in and be able to re-spec my characters.

Ltnt Tor’at, my Cardassian science officer made it to Rear Admiral 5 last night – and I’m working on my Engineering character now – She’s almost Ltnt Commander. Leveling up characters is quite easy really, Its nice to be able to try all 3 path’s as well. Science was loads of fun, but lacked real punch in a fight even if they’re able to rip through shields like there’s nothing there. You really need a tactical officer with you to make quick work of the other ships.

In the gallery below we have quite a few pictures of the days leading up to me getting to Rear admiral on my first character and a few pictures of Tor’at’s adventures leading up to him becoming Commander.
