  • Bard’s Tale 3: My Class Evaluation

    After this latest play through of Bard’s Tale 3, I figured it might be a good time to do a full class write up, going over strengths, weaknesses, some party ideas and my own experiences.

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Last Day

    I just realized that the Diablo 4 expansion starts tomorrow rather than on Tuesday (for NA/PST), which means my Bard’s Tale 3 play through is coming to an end. Truthfully, I was getting a little burnt out and while the thought experiment of having a three Geomancer party sounded novel, I figured it would just…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Possible Change In Party Configuration

    Today, I managed to push my secondary party through to the end game of Malefia. Right now, I’m merely grinding out levels. While I’m not exactly struggling, I do find a few situations to cause my party a little grief, namely with regards to my Monk. Originally, I had wanted a Monk as part of…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Working on 3rd Geomancer

    After reading that tip on a two Geomancer party, I decided to give it a shot. I powereleveled one to level 18 and now am working on another from my secondary party. This other Geomancer is at level 15 and I hope to get her one more run in Malefia for a few additional levels…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: A Re-Re-Review

    With Diablo 4’s expansion coming up, I decided to take a break from that grind and look into another game. I did give Ultima 6 another shot but found myself getting frustrated with an abomination of an interface (yes, I’m getting old) and decided to look for something else to temporarily absorb my attention. Since…

  • Diablo 4: Made Small Progress with Sorcerer

    I decided to test the new cable modem I acquired which complimented my increase in bandwidth recently. While I didn’t have terrible problems in the past, occasionally I would encounter severe lag in the game and couldn’t really figure out where the bottlenecks were since the game isn’t well optimized from what I can tell.…

  • Diablo 4: Latest PTR Impressions for Patch 2.0

    I decided to try a little more of the PTR with the so-called Runeword drops being enabled as my biggest interest (along with the cheat vendor which honestly was the best thing in the entire PTR experience for me). Right now, I don’t have a good impression of Diablo 4 based on what I have…

  • Diablo 4: Patch 2.0 PTR Experience So Far

    Finally, I managed to spend sometime leveling a new druid (because I couldn’t load my existing Eternal Realm characters earlier) on the PTR. I went with a Companion style Druid because it felt pretty strong and there were a few adjustments I wanted to make especially in anticipation of the real patch (i.e. Runewords) that…

  • Diablo 4: Tempering, Masterworking and Enchanting MUST Go (Rant)

    If there’s one thing I can’t stand in a game, it’s wasting my time by being forced onto a hamster wheel and going nowhere. For all the number of people that supposedly works on Diablo 4, it honestly feels like one of the laziest contemporary games around. Outside of bugs, poor performance and other issues,…

  • Diablo 4: Runewords Being Added into Vessel of Hatred

    The news has come out during the campfire chat yesterday about the new patch with the announcement of one of the most anticipated features that had been in demand for a while: Runewords. Runewords were introduced in Diablo 2 and were a favorite of hardcore fans due to being able to create special items using…
