No Man’s Sky

Wednesday


Epril started Relic

Does anyone else multi box in No Man’s Sky?


I have a main that I was playing with the most but now I have a couple of alts. This came in handy when I accidentally deleted my starter ship in the latest expedition and forgot to remove the Atlantid drive because I thought my ship that I was bringing over had one. I initially panicked trying to find the mats to make another one when I decided to try bringing over an art with them necessary material. It worked. I know it’s silly, but it’s fun trying to figure out different things like this. I love this game


Finish the expedition on April Pvd.

She used the nites that she had gotten from selling the suspicious packages to update the multitool, which I love. She put one of the original S class OG radiant pillar in storage but now she’s running out of storage so she’s gonna have to pull some of those out.


Sunday

Went back to Aprillian to officially start the expedition. Logged in and she was stuck in her Corvette. I had created a platform opening on the second level by using two boarding gates facing each other. I tried several things to get unstuck like joining April Pvd‘s game but then I figured out I could just duck behind one ramp and go into the adjoining hab. But I did end up taking some of the pieces off because it was just too big of a Corvette to be using in an expedition. But it’s nice to have the storage because you have to collect a lot of bones. One of the things I like to do is bring back some of the augment you get to update your excel back to my main save for my new characters.


Titanic Trophy

It’s decoration AprilPvd accidentally sold hers. One time use but you

Started, Sebastian, my 4th character on the Relics expedition and headed to the anomaly after warping to first system. Seems like you need to go into the first space station but forgot to sell stuff before trying to buy first expansion exosuit slot.

Greetings CAW Crew,


Attached is my audio this week which contains mostly FFXIV. Oh an because Storm Braham is hitting the UK, I shouted out KA-BRAHAM! which is a GW2 Braham meme :D 


Also below is my FFXIV Miquote Hunter :D


Good day all! 





There’s is only just over 40 days left on Legion Remix so as per usual most of my time has been playing my Legion characters. I realised I made a mistake rolling various characters at first (you live and learn!).

I am now mostly concentrating on my Earthen Horde Paladin, so I can further gear him up and make him more powerful and solo more stuff.


I am still trying to collect various pieces of Transmog so I have been tanking in various Raids..


I have dinged another 2 level 80’s, one on Legion and the other on Retail using the Darkmoon Faire quests and the new Catch up system.

With the latest patch they have nerfed the XP between level 70 and 80 by 80%!! Add this to my 210% Legion buff and the quest that also gives you a further 200% and you FLY through the levels like crazy!!


I haven’t properly started any of the new Housing system yet, but I have collected a few pieces though.


New mount this week: the Fescorned War Wyrm (the Warrior Legion Fel mount).


Anyway..

Take care all and enjoy the various games!

This is my new  :

 

No Man’s Sky

World of Warcraft Housing

Blizzard Actually Did It… WoW Player Housing Is REAL (Quick Guide)

No Man’s Sky



Started working on without a trace quest line on Aprillian and realized I could also do it very easily on April Pvd. I’m much better at fighting sentinels now.

Aprillian started working on the trace of metal quest line that starts with the sentinels constantly attacking the first settlement you get. When I first got the quest, she didn’t have an adequate multitool, but since doing the expedition, her multi tools have been upgraded so I went for it. There’s a part where you have to go and interact and then destroy a sentinel pillar. I was terrified of this because I had been killed over and over on April Pvd doing this part and then finally gave up. One of the things I didn’t realize on April Pvd was that you get this reconstructed drone and you have to interact with the drone throughout the mission. The quest line lead you to getting a mini tour and then it gets even better because eventually you give it a brain and it fights alongside you when you go out and about and it’s awesome. This game is always showing me something new.




I got enough quicksilver on Aprillian to get the Atlas dashboard



Finished and closed Expedition 17 on all four characters. This was the first expedition that I really got to do everything I wanted to do and understood that I could go back-and-forth. It was interesting because you got the wrath living ship, which is amazing and I made copies on all four. But I also went back-and-forth into the expedition swapping out the upgraded ship I had brought with me.




I lost one of my sentinel ships on Sebastian trying to get it to join my squadron. I’m not sure what the secret is but again I could not get the MPC to join my squadron and I couldn’t get my shit back because it was $88 million to buy back the ship I traded for nothing but when I went to reset my saved another ship came in.

Greetings CAW crew,




At last, another audio from me. Things have thankfully started to settle now and while I only got a little GW2 played, below is a screenshot. A big thanks to Grand Nagus for his Final Fantasy 14 Information and with any luck I'll be playing it by the weekend :D

P.S. I agree with Grand Nagus's rant about building a story and having a foundation. Just as important as the story itself.


Good day all! 

So basically I have been doing the same this week as I did last week.. it’s still all about Legion Remix! I am getting more geared up and more powerful! The more power you gain, the more OP you become! It’s actually quite addictive!!


I have collected various nice looking transmogs (the best being ‘The First Satyr’s Spaulders’ (which are awesome looking shoulders)) and some new mounts: The Biletooth Gnasher, Ashplague Fel Bat, Kalu’ak Crest-Horn and the Jeweled Sapphire Scarab (the reward from Decembers trading post, which was very easy to do this month) [screen shots attached].



Anyway.. hope you are all well and enjoying all the various games..?


Until the next time..
