When one can’t decide between two classes in a game, one should break the rules and go to a third class. Excelsior!
So anyway, I spent a really great evening with my Ranger in Guild Wars 2 doing nothing special. Initially I logged onto her to do some cleanup of her inventory and whatnot, but that led to selling stuff on the trading post (hello 18 gold!) and then idle killing in the countryside. Before I knew it, I was hip-deep in clearing out another zone and mulling over whether to peek my head into Lion’s Arch to see what’s going on with the new patch.
The answer to that, by the way, is “I have no idea?” Looks like roaming-and-killing while doing various events. I did have fun swapping between weapons and spending some quality time with my shortbow for a change. I have an 80 exotic shortbow sitting in the bank, so I figure I might as well get used to it. I do wish that GW2 allowed to save three weapon sets instead of two, because I would very much like to be able to swap between my longbow, shortbow, and greatsword without having to choose just two.
As a pleasant treat, I both dinged 72 and completed my daily achievements without deliberately trying to do either.
RIFT isn’t getting much of my time as of late — but it’s not getting deleted, either. I’m really intrigued by the news that there are four new souls (one for each calling) coming with 2.7, giving every class an option to play every role. I also noticed that the anniversary carnival is going on right now, which means that there’s a special lootable on the mobile app that hands out glass beads like candy. So even though I’m not logging into the game, I’m checking the app every six hours to stock up on beads.
