Mindless meanderings of Indigo Montari

A little bored today Xmas eve and there is nothing to do.... done with the shopping, I'm still burnt out on GW so I have been playing Aion most of the time. Speaking of witch I started playing the chanter I created. It's nice to see a monk type class that can go toe to toe with the mobs and kick some ass yet still be able to help out with the heals and such if the claric[heal-prot monk] gets overwhelmed. Big plus is the priests in aion [chanters and clerics] get to wear cloth, leather and chain type armors. I have allays envisioned my GW monk as a army brat streetwise tough girl. The aion version of Shailin is a chain-mail wearing badass who likes to smack things right upside the head with her staff..... none of the gw shoot fireballs at the mobs.

"I came here to kick some ass and chew bubblegum....."

".....And I'm all out of bubblegum"

Something GW2 needs

I was looking at the Aion site and found, that you can look up any character on any server and view there stats and see a low res 3d render of that character and the current armor/weapons set... sweeeeet : )
Windrider [spiritmaster]
http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=159694&serverID=5
Dracarus [mage]
http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=182468&serverID=7
Shadowangel [ranger]
http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=179063&serverID=7
Shailin[chanter]
http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=164828&serverID=5

I think the only real down side to aion is that your characters cant jump servers like you can in guild wars, so if you have a friend on another server you will have to make a character over there.

Mama!!

AION /\o/\ <----wings lol

I think I will slowly be moving over to Aion while the turtles ..errr devs over at Anet work on
GW2 I picked up a copy after I had the chance to give the game a test.

I started off with free ie: Dungeon and Dragons online and I did not like it GW is older and still has better controls graphics. I see why they had to turn this Pay for play MMO in to a free one.

After looking at my necro while I was using the wings emote this got me thinking of Aion
the friend who gave me the code allowed me to try out aion for a day and I must say I was quite surprised the controls were a lot like GW and its kind of nice to see a game where a warrior can wear cloth armor

So if you have been wondering where I have been the past few days here is some pics of my main char on the Vaizel server [elios characters] and Kaisinel[ Asmodian characters]
one of the few bad things is you can not have characters of both factions on the same server

Mage[summonmaster] Windrider

Just Stuff

Lets see Win7 is behaving itself... except for one annoyance, the past 2 weeks on Saturday nights the clock has jumped ahead by 2 hours when it hits 1 am.

In Guild wars My main title-er Natasha is coming along [21/30]. On November 15 she finished the last vanquishes of elona and is now done with that continent with just Tyria left to do[ 20 or so vanquishes and half of the guardian missions]. The 15th was also her 4 bday \o/ and no fancy gold mini but rather a Mesmery one-the Quatzal Sly [tengu mesmer]

The MS nerds got it right this time

2009-10-24T17:40:51Z

First impression of Win 7 is Woot!
I picked up the oem 7 pro version so that I could get the xp mode and the ultimate version only offered bit locker and language support for 35 other languages.

Installation on to the 6831 Fx laptop was very quick, no problems so far except toasting the vista install when I created a 100 gig partition for win 7. [I'll reinstall/fix the vista partition later.... or maybe not ; ) ]
-next up GW install

*Update* -GW works \o/
looks like most vista 64 drivers will work as win 7-64 drivers until they get updated by what ever company made them.

Only other problem that I have run in to is the 22" monitor I was using does not want to go in to full HD resolution. so right now the laptop is in laptop mode and not desktop replacement mode.

A note on upgrading: you can only upgrade from a like copy of vista 32->32 or 64->64 or home to home ultimate to ultimate.... so vista home 32 to vista home 64 requires a fresh install of win 7

HoM done : )

2009-10-21T04:23:34Z

Woot!! Natasha is one step closer to her Goddess hood

I should have posted this earlier
Thanks guys for all the mats I needed for finishing of the destroyer weapons rack

The past few weeks I have been on a car hunt as the ole' beater I was driving finally crapped out. It's fixable but that money was better spent on something a bit newer. last night i finally picked up my new car after some minor hassles from the car dealer. alli can say is its a sweeeeet! ride : )

* I should note that this is the closest pic I could find that matches the look of my car 2005 mustang

2009-08-28T14:34:45Z

This whole week can be summed up with meh, aside from the fact that I Have felt under the weather so to speak. I really need a long vacation to recharge my batteries.

A few months back My mom got her self a new second hand PC, and last night she phoned up asking for help as her copy of windows failed the win validation when she tried to update to service pack 3. Later today I guess i have to go over to see what I can do.

indigo_montari @ 2009-08-10T06:10:00

2009-08-10T12:17:03Z

I did some more tests with that 7" Eee PC, so far I got it to play GW, D2, and Jedi Kinght2:Jedi outcast
I have a few more "classic" games That I will try out later..... maybe max payne or UT2k4.

Tested another game dungeon siege and it works.

and on you tube

2009-08-07T03:24:01Z

A few days back I found a good deal on a Eee PC 701 netbook as a lark I bought it. I ditched the linux os for an old copy of xp that I am not using anymore, and installed 2 gigs of ram. After windows was all fixed/patched/updated I attached my portable HD to it and ran the copy of guild wars I have saved there. I was quite surprised that I could get up to 25fps though most of the time I was getting 10fps out of the tiny PC

^this is a full sized pic

Lets see a GW update ...
Got my perma-pre ranger to lvl 14 on the weekend, Got my rit though NF with just hnH[I still have to redo a few missions to get prot]
and Last night I ran into a Buni In LA,

Power...... I need moar Power

2009-07-19T22:53:29Z

Arg A big storm hit last night that knocked out power on our block, 16 hours later the power company finally got things fixed. I had my laptop on full charge so yay \o/ I could keep my self entertained for a while..... crap no power for the cable modem @$%#@!
Bad thing was last night I was in the mood to do a marathon tour of cantha to fill out a good part of a NM book. whats worse when the power went out I was just finishing up a masters run of vis square and just finished the book store area with just the end bit to finish.

PC update

2009-07-18T15:01:30Z

The PC rebuild can wait until win 7 release. I managed to get the laptop set as a desktop replacement for now. Having found my vga patch cable, I can still use my 22' monitor and have the laptop screen disabled.... It would be nice to run both screens but I don't want to take the chance of over taxing the built in vidcard of the laptop.

2009-07-16T23:37:14Z

ARG My pc decided to give up the ghost last yesterday now I am once again down to one computer. Thanks to a good deal I found on boxing day last x- mass I picked up a gaming class laptop. so no interuptions in my game time.

I now have to look in to finding what bit hardware went on it [the pc]. fixing and replacing that or just bite the bulit and start picking up parts for a new PC. Talking to Penny last night also brought up a good point, win 7 will be comiing out in a few months, and thus I should hold off on a rebuild or new pc untill we find out what is certifide win 7 ready.

I still need to get a few more black dye for the feet and head gear, also I may get her a dread mask for this outfit. It was a tough choice on which line to apply the points from her first finished heroes book as the other set I was thinking of getting her was the dwarven.... to bad that set does not display in the HoM

I was bored....

2009-06-27T19:11:32Z

A few days ago I Found my old log in info for my facebook account, the thing is I never really got the FB bug even though I have had an account there for over five maybe 6 years.
After a while of checking the site out again I did manage to find a few of the circle of GW buddies and acquaintances I know, Any ways I was wondering If any one else still uses that over hyped social networking site as I was thinking of making a new account there under my Indy persona [to protect others from the crazies...er relatives of mine that like to use FB to spy and harass].

As GW goes I'm still slowly working on Natasha's titles 19 done and 7 that I could finish in a week or two if I put some effort in to them.

tyrian guardian/vanquisher
elonian guardian/ vanquisher
Master of the North

That's five titles plus the two for getting legendary in both those lines. However right now I am enjoying returning to some of my under used characters. Other titles like sweets and party will slowly come along with the farming of Nicholas gifts.

As for real life stuff I will soon be looking for a new vehicle, my old wreck of a car-'86 olds Ninety eight is just not cutting it any more. the big question there is what to get to replace it?

Sims 3

2009-06-17T04:23:59Z

After talking to Mog a few days back I found a store that had the game on sale. To help my first exposure to this game I based my first sim on Indy....

The game was not that hard to get into and before I knew it, Sim Indy had a girlfriend and was getting it on with her. It just happened to be a co-worker at city hall..... well not really a co-worker, it was his boss.

anyways I will share some pics later. Btw for those of you that have sims 3 I have uploaded sim Indy to the exchange. my user name is Montari_Prime

2009-06-08T05:43:31Z

This past weekend as far as GW goes, I have been quite busy with 2 side projects First - my Pre-sear ranger and second my paragon. The ranger is almost ready to start her solo hunting and endless dieing for LDoA. her second perpose is for farming up the hunters gifts and the items contained there in. So far close to 900 party points [fireworks] with 600 min of alcohol and 500 sweet points.
once she has a stash = to 1k or 10% of the title I will make a ferry character to take that to post for Natasha to use.

The paragon is a different story, I miss DoA ; both as part of an ursan or 600/smite team
After hearing about the hero team build from both Mog and Penny I spent all of today advancing the paragon though the NF story line. From the ss sanctuary all the way to Vabbi. The bad news is that he was a potential survivor candidate and if I did not try a round of dwarven boxing he would have not have had his first death. Grrr lag. Oh well it did give me a reason to push him hard through NF now that I do not have worry about babying a survivor.
Tomorrow- Vabbi to bone palace.....maybe even all the way in to torment

Hey babe take a walk on the wild side......

2009-05-20T22:11:50Z

One final change on my main Guild wars account...

My male ele wanted to be purdy so he went under the Asuran knife

Before

and after, say hello to Lexia Delcole

there are a few elite sets that I don't have anywhere on my main account and did not want to get them for any of my other characters- sunspear, canthan,luxon imho all 3 look better on a female ele.

*note I will recreate lance on one of my mule accounts as a perma pre character

Hmm what to say today..
I guess I should start off with HAPPY BDAY PENNY!(yes I know its a day late) that's the problem with being in the [bath]alliance, I miss out on info and the fun stuff of guys and galls I know in the [celt] alliance.

In GW I have finalized my main account warrior's looks and spent 5 gold Z-coins to unlock the moss spider
