Finishing Up Janthir in Guild Wars 2

Last week, I finished up the new Guild Wars 2 content on my Mechanist.  There wasn't a lot to the new zone, but it was a pretty satisfying way of wrapping up essentially the last two expansions' worth of content.  It wasn't a particularly challenging final fight either, but I was okay with that.  Overall, the connection with the story made it a decent finish for me.

I'll continue to putter around in Guild Wars 2 off and on until the new expansion releases.  I wouldn't mind working on gearing up my Ranger a bit, because I'm generally still too lazy to just move my Ascended gear between characters.  I also need to finish gathering berries for an Ascended back for my Reaper.  


I'm still also working on leveling my Alliance mage in World of Warcraft.  I think he's sitting around level 75 now, so getting fairly close.  Switching to Frost definitely helped with the speed of leveling in general.

I've also been dipping in and out of Elder Scrolls Online a little bit and have now moved on to the Clockwork City on my zone completion journey.  That's one is a small one, so won't be long before I move on again.

That's the update for now. 

Cheers,

New ESO content

Yesterday, I ran through pretty much all the new Elder Scrolls Online content related to the Worm Cult on the island of Solstice.  The new story, while typical ESO fare, was pretty engaging and well done.  I also ran through all the side quests and delves in the new zone, which I also enjoyed.  They held together well and also made sense in the context of the overall zone story.  The zone itself is truly beautiful, and I particularly enjoyed the new city of Sunport, although it feels somewhat similar to several other ESO cities in terms of overall layout.  The crafting center is almost identical to one of the other recent expansion cities.


I'm happy with this content cycle so far.  I also picked up something like 70 Champion points while running through the new zone, which felt pretty good, too.

From an overall gaming perspective, May was more balanced.  The bulk of my play time in May was still focused around World of Warcraft, at 22 hours, but ESO contributed quite a bit at 9 hours, and Guild Wars 2 came in at 4 hours total played.  I'm guessing that June will see even higher contributions from Guild Wars 2 and ESO with their new content releases.



I'm also running out of energy on the alt leveling front in Warcraft.  I'm currently working on character #28, who is sitting at level 72.  This one is an Alliance Mage that I've been leveling as Arcane so far, but it's not working very well now that I've moved on to the War Within zones, so I may switch him to Frost for the rest of the way to 80.

Yet another druid is up next after this mage, and I haven't really enjoyed leveling druids either this expansion, so that will likely keep my progress slow also.  But, there's lots of new content in both Guild Wars 2 and ESO to enjoy.

Cheers,
