Drinfear's Ravings

The ravings of the lunatic known here as Drinfear.. Various antics, advice and incidents that have happened over My 30 years living the Lifestyle..

 Earlier today, a fellow cager and I almost hijacked a post devoted to another topic.. I saw the possibility arising and bowed out, but have avidly been reading all the posts therein since.. 

 THIS post is for others who have or possibly still DO game online, in various game types, over various consoles or other platforms.. Feel free to post gamer tags, console or other device, and talk about any gaming aspect Y/your heart so desires.. 

 

 PERSONALLY, I 'broke My teeth' playing MMORPG's, but have diversified dramatically.. I have branched out into First Person Shooters, Racing Sims, Outer Space Sims, before coming to light in My present genre du jour, the Battle Royale. FPS games included Combat Arms, Black Squad, among others. MMORPG's included the original Neverwinter Nights (including vanilla, Shadows of Undrentide and the third expansion whose name escapes Me at the moment..) I played World of Warcrack for almost a decade before leaving the retail version in favor of private (cracked) servers where I could play older versions and build My character outside the restrictive modern (and idiot friendly) cookie cutter templates.. Racing Sims, GTA and Need For Speed, outer space sims No Man's Sky (where Y/you can discover star systems worlds, creatures elements and upload them to be immortalized in real time star charts.. Also still play Elite Dangerous as well as Crypto Space Commander where Y/you can build a characters' skills then sell it online with their inventory for real crypto currency.. Presently, I am playing Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and have been playing for almost 2 years now.. I have several friends that play Internationally and competitively, most notably winning a $4 million purse a couple years back, as well as THE G.O.A.T. who goes into ranked matches alone fighting squads of 4 at a time and kicking asses..

 

 I have a Gaming Group, which was founded way back in 2003 on NWN called Faerun's Fallen (Faerun being the world Neverwinter Nights and the Forgotten Realms is set in (Table top D&D or otherwise)) W/we have a presence in ALL of the games mentioned above as well as a plethora of others I probably don't even remember the names of..

 

 So now, the dais is Y/yours.. What games/consoles/platforms do Y/you A/all play on..?

Drinfear​(dom male){Owns PFP} - very nice, Boss.. You like space games? No Man's Sky is awesome.. Mostly exploration.. You can name whole planetary systems, and then build bases that connect through teleporters.. The last I heard, there were literally millions of systems to explore and only 0.3% of them had been discovered..

TheReaper​(dom male) - NMS is an awesome game. Played it for over 300 hours on my ps4.

Innocent Me​(sub female){Protected} - I've seen NMS, I've always wanted to try it...maybe I'll give it a go! I've been looking for something interesting to get into. ^_^

Innocent Me​(sub female){Protected} - I'm so sorry it took me so long to comment on this! Hello everyone, my name is Sarah and I am a game addict. J/k

I honestly haven't played very many games. I was into Nintendo when I was younger...Mario games and all that. Loved shooting those ducks with that gun! When I was 19 I started playing WoW because I'd just broken my ankle and couldn't walk for a while...so gaming! I played a Night Elf Druid, healer ftw! I played that for a while and then I dabbled in a little bit of EverQuest and Rift for a bit.

Rift was hilarious, I played a Cleric healer. I made friends with a dps warrior who was just...ruthless. We had matching Eskimo outfits we would wear in battlegrounds and all the opposing teams knew as soon as they saw us it was game over. They wouldn't even jump off the starting area and we'd just stand there, bored out of our minds until a guild decided to queue up and give us a challenge. Haha

Nowadays I stick to games I can play once in a while and I'm not really into all the excitement. Guess I just got old, plus kids take a whole lot of time. I mostly play Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch, sometimes I'll play Terraria with my 8-year-old who loves that damn game. I love my little Minecraft world though, it's a nice place to escape to when I feel overwhelmed with real life. <3

Drinfear​(dom male){Owns PFP} - I feel the vibes and on the same hand SOOOO don't know who you are, Estaria.. World of Warcrack I get.. TETRIS I get.. But minecraft..? really? REALLY??? I do understand the time constraints when it comes to kids, though confess I never got that experience.. With the son, OR the (lately discovered I have) daughter who turns 16 next month.. I have a cousin (Ray Jay) that is a literal LEGEND in EQ.. Tried Rift for a bit as a fix to alleviate the withdrawals from World of Warcrack.. Didn't help much.. So, as I said, went to private WoW servers.. FULL BoA's and a thousand toons later, I'm like running My lvl 19 twink slapping down level 35 horde wanna-be's in world PvP in Stranglethorn Vale.. *laugh*

Innocent Me​(sub female){Protected} - Oh Stranglethorn Vale...me and my b/f used to go hunt Horde down there. I'd go cat stealth and he'd go shadowmeld in a bush somewhere...or sometimes I was the bait, I'd act like I was alone until a rogue popped out and tried to kill me (as if), and then he'd kill the rogue while I hopped around casting HoT's on myself. Haha

The best was being outnumbered 'cause it was a challenge. Oh GOD...one time....here we go with the stories. Rofl
Okay okay okay....one time, I had two friends: a MUTILATE rogue (when ppl made fun of them and no one played one), and a discipline priest...I was a healing druid. So, my rogue friend had a healing druid friend who had a 2k rated 3's team in arena. They played healing druid, dps warrior, and I honestly forgot the other class...anyways...my rogue friend comes over Vent and is like, 'hey guys we're going to play a 3v3 game against this team!' Me and the priest are like...are you out of your mind? We've never played 3's arena EVER and we're playing against a 2k rated team? WTF is your problem? lol SO...he's like...yeah, they're trash-talking me 'cause I play mutilate and I told him I could kill him in arena and I CAN!! So, we're moaning and groaning thinking it's going to be the most embarrassing moment of our lives on WoW. We lay out a plan and our rogue is like...just keep them busy and stay alive, I got this. We get into arena, start playing...of course the warrior goes straight for me and I'm like entangle, cyclone, shapeshift, etc. while I pillar hump. Our disc priest is keeping the other player busy being annoying so he can't help their healing druid. Our rogue is sticking to their healing druid, lining up all his combo points and cooldowns and making their druid blow his cooldowns. I just hear him over Vent and I'm like....dude, I can't do this forever!! I'll run out of cooldowns eventually!!! And he's like...give me one more minute, I almost got him!! All of a sudden our rogue is like...I got you motherfucker!! I got you!!! He blows his cooldowns and combo points and plays everything he's got and drops the druid in like 3 seconds flat. We were all screaming over Vent and laughing. Sooo...the druid comes into our channel, screaming at us and at his teammates. The warrior comes into the channel and is like...WHO'S THE DRUID? I'm like....uh...me? He's like...YOU'RE SO FUCKING ANNOYING. They all leave the Vent channel, disband the arena team and never play 3's together again. We broke them up. ROFL

Drinfear​(dom male){Owns PFP} - blah blah blah.. Minecraft isn't worth the air the hard drive space takes up.. As for your WoW story.. THERE W/we can talk.. I was walking into Camp? (Fort??) Livingston in Stranglethorn.. I had a level 23 ish Ally toon.. (Was farming flight paths back in the day, AFTER Cata) trying to get to Booty Bay.. (rawr rawr) Horde toom that was skulled came out of their base there and attacked.. My toon was TOTALLY loomed.. Head, Chest, Shoulders, Weapons (I think I had a rogue or drood) pants AND pants.. I beat that undead to a literal pulp.. Then teabagged them over and over.. Even corpse camped them until they got close enough to the horde base for the guards to one shot My punk ass..

Innocent Me​(sub female){Protected} - It wasn't a thorough camping with the tea bagging and getting one shot by guards. Hahaha

Battlegrounds were so fun too. Running the flag as a druid and then passing it off to my b/f while the rest of the team got our flag back. Better yet, when the team was stupid enough to send their flag runner into OUR base to kill OUR flag carrier. *face palm*

Arena was pretty fun too, shadowmeld was soooo OP. There was a mage/rogue team once we kept coming up against and losing to. I was getting so frustrated. They made Alliance characters and messaged my b/f, raving about me. The mage was like...that's a damn good healer you have there. He admitted it was his op cooldowns and he was barely squeaking by with wins, said he'd never been so close to being beaten. I was pretty proud of myself. Rofl

Drinfear​(dom male){Owns PFP} - I remember the glitch days when the gate opened and the properly specced Drood was KACHOW in their base and back.. I think My record was 3:30 for three flag win.. Damn near had the win before they hit mid field.. *sigh* ah WotLK or BC..
