Today, I received my Collector’s Edition of Warhammer Online. Starting off my very first real WAR subscription.

Everything is going really well. My mom also bought the CE because we tend to play together (she’s disabled so its my way of helping keep her sane and interacting with people ‘cuz she can’t leave the house often). Upon activating our accounts we have to download the full client.  Because of some error she has to restart her download three or four times. I never had to restart my download. Guess who finished first? Her. By how much? Over an hour and a half before me who started first with no errors. Go figure. It gets better.

We finally get in-game and my client errors out at the server select screen. No biggy. I log back in. We start playing. In the Dwarf starting area we have to do a quest that has a chance of spawning a bad guy. She does 3/4 crates without a spawn. Me? EVERY SINGLE CRATE.

The final proof Mythic Entertainment was out to get me today came about 15 minutes after that quest. One quest involves using cannons to fire across a chasm at some greenskins (orcs/goblins/trolls). I start happily annhilating the NPCs who are incapable of crossing the massive chasm and by no means are intended to attack you. At least that was the idea.  Within seconds of firing my first volleys my screen starts flashing red indicating I’m being attacked. I finish annihilating the green menaces across the way and then release the cannon to find a goblin smacking at me. I target the guy and try to attack: “Invalid Target” spams across my screen. What? Here this little green snot is beating on me and I can do nothing to defend myself. I run around hoping to lose him and he keeps following me. HE WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE! My health reaches a point where I need a heal. My mom being a rune priest heals me and finally her heal aggro pulls the mob onto her. Within a matter of seconds she’s able to convince the mob to turn around and leave us alone. Go figure. Continue reading “Mythic is out to get me! O.o” »

Today, my mom and I started playing Warhammer seriously as we are about to purchase a subscription. My mom and I play Warhammer as a way for us to keep in touch and do things together (she has some disabilities that limits what she can do). Well, my mom decided to roll a Disciple of Khaine on the Chaos side. They are basically evil dark priests. As she’s coming out of the starting area a quest involves shooting down dwarven choppers. Shortly after she mounts the cannon, I hear a maniacal giggle from across the room. “I don’t want to stop. This is too much fun.” she says as she’s systematically obliterates flying midgets.

I think I’m scared.
