Theorycrafting – Guides

Posted on by

I am a numbers guy and a freak around optimization.  I guess it borders on OCD.  It’s something I (luckily) get paid very well to do and my hobbies usually focus around that too.  Sure, the context of that is important but the action is doubly so.

In that vein, I’ve made quite a few posts on two particular topics over the years.  First, the concept of money and markets.  I’ve made a static page that’s accessible from the home page to collect all that data into a single place.  As I write more about the topic, I’ll update the page.

I’ve also written a fair chunk on character optimization.  While the static page is a bit more high level than the posts, it’s still a very good spot to get started on.  Again, as time progresses, I’ll add some updates to it.

In the meantime, take some time to read up and let me know what you think.

#Wildstar – Let’s Go

Posted on by

Success!  By luck of events, this weekend gave me good fortune to get a fair amount of time into the game.  And it would appear, that by and large, there were next to no server starts woes.  ESO was a good high bar and Wildstar is right on pace.  It does put other games into stark contrast when you think about it (Watch_Dogs, D3, SimCity, etc..).  In the age of the interwebs, you’d hope they’d get this part down and Carbine did a fine job.

So, with my name all nice and reserved, I made my Exile Human Esper Asmiroth on Evindra.  What a mouthful.  I decided to take a trip to Algoroc as a starting zone, which has a more wild west meet sci-fi vibe.  Rocky canyons, cliffs to climb and a secret robot base.

One fun quest was out in the middle of nowhere, with no breadcrumbs to get there.  Here’s a video.

I just hit 15 and got my house too, so the next little while I think is going to focus on my customization.  Until that time, here are some screencaps.
