What a difference a group makes.
At the 12 hour mark, I managed to hook up with a group of people. Blazing through PQs and scenarios, I managed to gain a number of ranks and basically tear through a bunch of content.
WAR’s group dynamics make things pretty easy – you can find open parties, look for guilds that are recruiting, use the search option to find friends, and more. even though communication is sorely lacking, it seems that in many cases, you don’t really need to communicate to get the point across.
This is especially good for me, considering after 16 hours of continuous playtime, the caffeine needed to keep me awake is starting to increase. After a bunch of healthy pasta, oatmeal, and other various foods designed to give me the energy needed to continue, I’m starting to feel a bit loopy. I honestly don’t see how some people do it regularly.
Still, for a good cause, nothing is too troubling.
Two more updates to go!
