Last night I died at least 12 times
I finally left the snowy areas and journeyed south, where I found this South Pass tunnel that led me to Loch Modan. TREES. GRASS. JUNGLE. Everything looks so beautiful, and perhaps this brings me back to my fascination with the game: everytime I get tired of something I discover something else that's even more interesting.
I talked to a mountainer who gave me a quest that he said would require more than one person to finish. Instead of doing it right away I decided to explore the area and meet some new people. Suprisingly I found a lot of people who I had seen around the snowy environments for a last couple weeks. Eventually I was able to start a group and do a couple kill quests. The enemies in this area and very tough and they give a lot of XP. This was made easier for me at first because I grouped with a dwarve priest. We died a couple times together but I thought nothing of it.
Later in the night I accepted some more kill quests and expected them to be just as easy. I had to kill 10 Shamans and 10 uber troggs. My WCIII intelligence helped me remember that Shamans use Bloodlust a lot, but I figured I could still kill them. I was wrong. After I finally found one I engaged it. Everything was going well, but right when I was about to kill the Shaman it HEALED itself fully. I had like half my health and got killed. After I found my body I decided to run back to town, but these Seer Troggs surrounded me and killed me. This happen over and over again basically.
At one point I saw this Night Elve having trouble with a Shaman trogg. I jumped to the rescue and killed it right in time, at which point the Elve (female) thanked me. Since I needed to kill more I decided to follow her and her group into the Shaman cave. I helped out a bit but they never asked me to join their group. Finally I asked.
Goinio: I need to kill these Shamans but my powers are not great enough. Can I join your group?
Night Elve: *no answer*
Goinio: HARKEN TO ME
Night Elve: Oh, we're done here. Good bye. And thanks for the help
Goinio: AW SHIT!
At that point a fucking Shaman came out of NOWHERE and started raping me while the Night Elve and her entire group slowly walked away.
I will never trust Night Elves againSo I died there, and then I died again after I found my body. At that point just said fuck it and decided to have my body revived; I had more than enough money to get everything repaired. I then decided to get better armor before trying to fight the Shamans again. After that I found this small gnome and we formed a group. We agreed to help each other with our quests but at that point my computer started lagging. He told me to turn the settings down so I did; the game looks ugly now (well the trees/bushes do) but it works better. I'll try to see if I can fix that.
After I helped him kill the Seers he needed for his quest I escorted him back to town where he got his reward. At that point he said "lol I have to go to bed" and left. ARRRGHHHGHAAH
