Gaming

Another week until the World of Warcraft Expansion releases, and I used the event to level all of my characters to 70. Even my very first character, who hadn't seen the light of day in over 15 years, is now properly equipped to take on whatever may come. Too bad it's a priest, which I really don't like to play, so back into the dungeon he goes. The Remix mode also ends tomorrow, so all of those characters will migrate over to retail, which means I'll look over those and do some final house cleaning.

Then I'm pretty much done with the Diablo 4 season, but not because it's boring or anything, but I kinda finished everything I wanted to do and more. I was playing a Chain Lightning Sorcerer, but found the final item to change my build to Lightning Spear, which is just completely overpowered this season. I kinda breezed through everything, killed all the giga versions of the bosses, cleared Pit level 100, the new Infernal Hordes mode on Tier 8, and upgraded all my stuff. Today I killed some more of the Uber bosses and even got two Uber Legendaries (which I salvaged to crafter another one). I might try and push my Pit level a bit higher, and try to kill Echo of Lilith, the final Uber boss, which got reworked somewhat last season or something, so it's not just you getting one-shot by terrible hit boxes all the time. (Edit: just killed her, wasn't too bad, but you need to learn the fight a bit, so in the beginning it just feels you randomly die.)

Also, this last year or so I've been "playing" Melvor Idle, which is Runescape, but as an idle game. The game recently launched it's third DLC, but I've been holding off on playing it, since I wanted to 100% everything else first. This week I finally got done with the base game and the first DLC and am almost finished with the second DLC, although it might take another one or two weeks just grinding stuff, so I can craft the missing items. I've played a bunch of idle or incremental games over the years, but this is definitely my favorite. It's not a clicker, there is no constant rebirth or whatever, you just choose a skill and you slowly train it. The best part is, you can actually close the game and fully progress offline. The game also has an in-game mod browser with tons of mods, kinda like the Steam Workshop, which is fantastic.
