Weekly Update # ?

Another week. Real life has been real life and still the gaming goes on. *\o/*

Game difficulty is subjective(most of the time).

Tiny Combat Arena....

Has seen another update which has added a lot. Including a Github link to the tool needed to start modding. Always nice to see updates like this to the game, better and better!

No Mans Sky....

At the far reaches of my noggin I've still got a little NMS lucking about as some kind of unfinished business. Not in what I've done, missed or 'had taken away'(from me); But to play the game afresh as it from now. Will I get into doing more, I've no idea!

World of Warcraft....

More coincidence than anything else, I was back to WoW(unpaid). My wife wanted to level a new character on a different server so I said I'd join along for the first "few" levels( I think I made it to 15).

Another demonology warlock alt for me of course! I'm almost as bad as she is with Mage alts.

 

The Blizzcon promo shots and cinematics of course look as great as can be. Why they never did the WoW movie as full on CGI I will never know; But if it wasn't for the announced multi part expansion plan I'd be disinterested in the 'next ' expansion(more of the same'ol same'ol of things I don't 'really' care about). The plan to enhance sticking with the game longer than a single expansion is of interest but more info is needed. Like most players the single expansion grind is an off-putting thing after so many years of it. I'm waiting to see the usual Youtubers give the weighed up balance and implications of what was announced etc....

Enough time has passed that most of my characters were given the next 'free' upgrade in gear/relocation/quest log clear out. Most were still where I left them since the last 'upgrade'. So it was fun enough to start the Belf starting area again. It's been a while. For the first time I saw it as a very old area after seeing so much more improvements to the games other areas. So not as magical as in my minds eye. Has it been so long?(everybody nodding yes)! That said it was hilarious that my wife said the bank had a baby change station. I never looked at it that way with my scribes eye. Bahahahahahahahaha

I may wait to the end of the month to add on a months gametime and 'see' "what it's like".

Eve Online....

While I've been discussing the finer points of industry/production/reactions with my other side of the planet friend; I've been off-put to do a lot of hours in game(like get an alts standings up). It is what it is but having paid for game-time I have a feeling now that not using it to it's maximum is wasteful regardless of fun. Yea can't shake that.

 

Surprise surprise that alt I was talking about hasn't joined a wormhole corp I spotted, not yet. I've been trying to reacquaint myself with what I'd known about WH's. As well as pre plan a pre plan. Some things never change.

INFLUXIS....

 

While a one man dev band may be behind it with a side of Subnautica cloned DNA, it's been interesting to see the game develop. That is until the last year and a half when there were no updates. From what I can remember he was in collage and so it's no wonder at the lack of updates at times.Not that I was really looking for info but it's always of interest to see such updates... Just saying.

 

 

 I kind of forgot all about the game. Till I was going down my Steam list and saw it last night..... Checked the Discussion tab and saw there were indeed no updates for a year and a half; But! There was a recent comment from the Dev. Time will tell how that turns out.

Planet Crafter....

The Export business is good, cash is flowing in. More drones is better in making things 'run' smoother planet side so it's been good to see all in action. 

 

 

Tweaking processes here and there I've been left doing more at my third 'base'..... It changed from a few rooms to a mansion, to cover most a player 'can do' in the game. As if I would loose access to my other bases... A backup of a backup isn't necessary but my internal roleplay needed it. This may be on par with how I was in Minecraft. At least Planet Crafter as teleporters so no need to have a rail system all over the place!

Star Trek Online....

The PC version is seeing me do dailies, take advantage of the Phoenix prize 'event' and do the usual 'do' of gameplay. My wife also took a big swing at one of her recruits transponders, so I tagged along to help. With luck more of the same ongoing.

 

Enterprise F MSD was nice to see and download.

On Xbox I was mainly focused on my 'mains' to level mastery for ships with traits of 'interest'. The Jem'Hadar who will be my Breen cosplayer has leveled up, got the Breen outfit as well as the 3 and 4 piece sets from the Winter event store and mission rewards(inc the warp core). 

 

 

 

It's been 'fun' to get stuck into. I'll wait to setup his officers abilities with the winter event bought abilities when he gets a Breen ship..... So still waiting for a Prize event and luck to get a token to buy one. Finger crossed....

 

 

The next expansion has also been enjoyable, even if the accompanying event has been a P.U.G. pain. I've avoided all in that regard except the Starbase One TFO 'needed' for it.

 

On other notes the free uniform is still one I like and good to get on Xbox now.

 

 

 

My KDF recruits transponder is still slow in it's numbers... Little by little.

 

Euro( & American) Truck Simulator 2....

The benefit of both games is that World of Trucks shares rewards between both games. So while I've not done the event on ATS, my ETS 2 completion still counts to it.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

  

 

Since finishing up the 3 concurrent events on ETS 2 I've not been doing too much more. Garages and drivers have been proving to be profitable. I've throttled back but not given up altogether so still a good bit of sightseeing as well as deliveries. The new country additions have been enjoyable so I've been taking my time.

 

 

 

 

With the upcoming DLC 'Greece'; I've been wondering what next for future DLC. Of course the map could be changed but as it stands lets see whats left blank.  Obviously I'm biased given Ireland is still blank. 'Island of Ireland' DLC?

 

A more full map for Türkiye? Next to previous DLC and the upcoming Greece, so that does make sense....?

 

 

 

North African countries? 

 

Given the DLC that got shelved and not likely to be seen any time soon. There's also some other blank map countries also in the news area.... Not likely until 'things' are fully 'resolved'; Slava Ukraini.
