Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 806 - Unboxing My Quest 3

AprilPvd is Virtual Reality

My Path to VR

September 27, 2023 meta-announce the quest three. We all knew it was coming and we were expecting it but it was still exciting to watch the announcement and see the pre-order screen popped up. I immediately went to the website and placed my order, I had two options I could either order through Me or I could order it through Amazon the biggest difference would have been that ordering it through Amazon would mean getting it the next day. Both of them had free shipping and both would’ve charged the same $35 state tax so when of the I want I didn’t wanna wait has specifically stated October 10, 2023 Amazon would’ve been October 11 and I didn’t wanna wait that day in the time between the actual delivery and that day couple of things happened. The first was that they accessed the money out of my account initially they said your account would not be charged until it shipped, but they put a hole that then went away, some people had some problems with that Everyone doesn’t have money, just sitting around in their account and if it hit more than once with some people ditch retry, it would cause some kind of a cascade in the bank, but it hit my account and then it went away which just meant I had to remember not to spend that money. Then a few days later I got the notice that it was going to be on the 12th instead of the 10th that was kind of sad but what ended up happening is it did show up October 10 at 10:30 just like UPS said so it was exciting unboxing my quest three was so incredible. But those of you listening to the podcast you can see the video my YouTube channel AprilPvd, Ctrl Alt WoW episode 806.

My Path to VR

Stand Alone vs PCVR

When I first log into my headset, I am in an area that I feel is like my desktop but because I’m in VR I can move around in it. Outside I have pictures that I took with my Insta 360 flow to replace the 360° photos that come with the particular homebase I’ve chosen.

When I press my right menu button, I am presented with my choices of applications that I have, which again is like your home screen on your desktop.

From here, I can select a game to play. The game starts up, and I am presented with a choice of where to play and which character I want to play. and I am playing the standalone. I have the same choices that I have on the PCVR but the difference is that the graphics are not as fancy and I am presented every once in a while with a “freeing memory“ because the headset cannot handle the memory as well as the PC.

When I want to play PCVR I select it as if I was playing a game, but instead of being in the game, I am presented with a recreation of my desktop computer by connecting to my desktop streamer.

Through virtual desktop I can choose whether to play my oculus games or my Steam games. I can click on my desktop with my controllers as if I were using my mouse.

It works really well and allows me to have a broader base of games because there are games that cannot be played on the standalone that can be played on the PCVR.

What I’ve Been Doing:

All of my characters have completed the Ring Chaser Quests.

AprilPvd} - Cyber Ninja

AprilPvd/ - Essence Mage

AprilPvd* - BladeMaster

My biggest challenge in Zenith over the past month has been to complete this ring, chaser quest. It was driving me crazy because it tapped into my fear of heights. The ring chaser quest involved, climbing up to the island in the sky, using a combination of the grappling hook and the wind generated things to get you to float up. It was so crazy because I know I’m standing in my living room, but when I swing out over the open space, it makes my stomach freeze it makes my legs freeze and the thought of doing it on all three characters was driving me crazy.

My first attempt at trying the ring chaser I climbed all the way to the top and I started the event and when I got up there, I thought the tech birds and thought I had picked up the six cores. I need it and then I rolled up to the top, but it turned out that I needed to carry the balls up one by one in my hand kind of like when you’re carrying the bombs or the things you need to start the generator in outlaw Grove. You could not put these items in your inventory. I was terrified to jump down again and try so I gave up. Then I ran into Zealotz and he offered to help me. I ended up hiring up on the top while he went down and got all the cores and put them in.

I did get my essence mage up there, but I froze and I couldn’t do anything else. And then I ran into GANDALFtheGREAT, and he helped me with the understanding that I was a chicken and he was going to just put the cores in for me, which worked out well. So now I had two out of my three characters complete the ring chasing quest.

I went several weeks without progressing on my Blademaster, which was kind of sad, because she was technically my mean. Even though she did collect some materials needed for the final pylon, she could not progress very well because she did not complete the ring Chase request, but then one day epic no fail heard my dilemma and decided to help me. Of course I still had to get up to that first level of the islands in the sky. But by then I had done the daily that got you up there and I became more comfortable and getting up there and thanks to epic no fail my Blademaster was able to join the ranks of ring chaser completion.

Remote one and everything and there was a person
