Guild Wars 2
I'll start this week's update with Guild Wars 2. I've been working on getting my Mechanist caught up on current story content. I'm almost done with Living World Season 3, so I will be ready to head off to the Path of Fire expansion soon. I thought about catching up on this character before the next expansion drops, but I don't think there's even remotely the time to do that. Plus, I'm still enjoying leveling my other jobs in FFXIV, so I'm not quite willing to walk entirely away from that yet.
I've also been working on additional zone completion on my Necromancer, who is coincidentally also working through the Living World Season 3 zones.
Elder Scrolls Online
I've been working through Murkmire on my Magicka Templar. It's a piece of additional content that I never did, and I enjoy spending a little bit of time back in the Elder Scrolls world.
FFXIV
In Final Fantasy, I've been working on leveling three jobs - Dark Knight, Dragoon, and Fisher. I noticed that I'd never bothered finishing up Fisher, so I'm using the Omicron quests to knock that the rest of the way out. I'm probably only 2 days from being done.
I'm enjoying both Dark Knight and Dragoon so far. The Dark Knight is about to hit level 60, and the Dragoon is at 54. The Dark Knight quests interest me, but the quest guy for the Heavensward thread isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
"Well, this is terrible. The temple knights will never stop trying to kill her now! OK, let's go back to Ishgard."
"Wait, what? Um...hey...Captain Dark Genius? If the temple knights are never going to stop trying to kill her, maybe we could pick a hang-out spot....I don't know...maybe anywhere in the world other than Ishgard? Just a thought."
I also watched the keynote address from FanFest last week. Everything is obviously very short on details at this point, and I'm not sure we've seen enough to tell if this is the beginning of a new overarching storyline or if this is intended to just be an interlude. However, it feels like more of the latter.
For me, FFXIV is more about the stories, the characters, and an interesting setting. I don't really need it to be some massive heart-pounding endeavor. I'd probably be fine watching Zero and G'raha freak out about tacos between various dungeon runs. So I'm generally optimistic about what I've seen from Dawntrail so far.
I'm curious what the two new jobs will be, and the general roles described are ones that I enjoy playing, so that would be great for me. I'm looking forward to the next FanFest and hearing more. It seems like I have plenty of time to accomplish my in-game goals before it will be released, which is also a relief.
That's it for now.
Cheers,
Joar
