I play wizard 101, one of the 2 games I play regularly.
I will be adding to this as I remember to say something I forgot about.
Yes I've had SEVERAL folks, both genders, try to make it a love connection. WHAT PART OF IT'S A GAME DONT YA GET? You want to make a love connection that isn't the place.
I play, I do NOT take serious what is said to me. Only exception is this, any child or suspected child that cusses, gives out personal information or puts themselves in real life danger I will report to the police, not the cussing part but the other part.
I play mostly with adults. Some kids I play with to show them how to set up for bigger hits, and how to protect themselves. Sounds easy right? WRONG!
My first character was Ice school, ok so my favorite color is blue. I had 0 clue what I was doing. The start of the game was less than helpful. Tutorials written so you can't make a mess up really dont help without a reason.
The first area they send you to is not real bad. You have to read the directions on what exactly they want. Just because the LOOK the same dont mean they are. How do you tell the good guys from the bad guys? If you set it to show only the names of the bad guys then it will say all the time over their head.
No matter how hard you try to kill everything there will always be someone that dont understand what they are seeing and jump in the fight with you. Usually they are kids, you can tell kids or new players because they can't talk. They have menu chat so what they say is pre programmed in. You can't tell them not to jump in your fights. That isn't because you can't talk, it's because they can't see it. The ones with menu only chatting can only read menu chat. It was designed to keep the kids from seeing stuff they shouldn't. But without a parent watching no telling what they will see. The first week was not much fun. I had to figure out which way to go, no helping on quests back then. And the kids that kept jumping in was driving me MAD! I did finally make it out of unicorn way and on to bigger and better things.
The first area is where I learned what drops were about. But why did they drop stuff I can't use?
Some of the stuff is for a certain school only. When you check your backpack it will tell you all kinds of things including school only gear. You get hat, robe, shoes, athame, wand and necklace. I spent hours trying to figure out which was the best for me that was in my limit of gold or experience points.
The first thing I wanted was the best robe, hat and shoes. Pets were not a big thing back then since they were just kinda there. Tons of changed since I got Murphy my pet dragon. Yes I still have her. She was a drop from a boss. Heck if I know which one that was a long time ago.
I dyed her to match my clothes and was happy to have a nice pet with me. My friends were more excited than I was because they knew pets sometimes do things. Murphy has a card! She has the dragon blade card. It is special since only dragons can give it.

I did this crazy training thing at the arena this morning. Yes it's better. Will it help anyone?
Doubtful. Why you say, You can't pick any card like in real play so if your, in my case myth, not that school you dont think it applies. Well it does, and if they had a halfway decent programmer they could make it for the school your wizard is in.
It's a prism not a convert. I do hate when folks use the wrong name, very confusing to young players. I insist on using the name of the card, that way there is less confusion on which one I was talking about. The feint card dont work in my head. Let me explain how it works. First you cast this thing and it puts a trap on the bad guy, good size trap that can be used my anyone in the fight with you. Now the bad side, it puts a trap on you too! Do I really wanna get hit even harder? If you do not have a life wizard that can heal you, no not all of them do. Then I would suggest you dont use the damn thing.
It first came out when morons just had to fight each other and not the bad guys. Who would think this is fun? sure the hell not me! I did try it once. The other guys we were fighting against chain hit me till I was dead. One round and your screwed!
Chain hitting is everyone hit just ONE opponent. Wizard said this is bad and dont do it. Even made a rule against it. Care to take a guess who breaks the rule ALL the time? Wizard does.
When I'm fighting I expect to be hit my share, but god damn it all 4 hit me in a row and expect me to live? Who programmed this crap?
Why pay to get yourself upset over this stupid game?
Even better question, who lied and said they read every conversation in the game?
If they did read EVERY conversation in the game then 90% would be muted or kicked out the game forever. Since the first rule is on the sign on screen, do NOT share your password with anyone. You will be banned forever. Oh sure another rule, do they follow that one? who knows.
New worlds mean new problems. I get that, really I do.
Since the company refused to let me test it and show them the problems I say "GO FUCK YOURSELF AND FIX YOUR JUNK"
Yes I'm upset, not mad just upset.
First dont rush release dates, why? so some of the shit that dont work right or even work at all can be made right. When the game loads I see 500000 patches. ya know if they had programmers with enough brain cells they would rewrite the whole thing and fix the many crashes the game does. No way they are not making money hand over freaking fist. But yet they rush to get something put out that dont work right. Many customers/wizards have stopped playing because of the crazy broken stuff that someone didn't bother to fix. In my eyes it would be better to have everything correctly working BEFORE letting anyone go thru it. Why must one be a paid with subscription to test? I paid by crowns, a bunch of money I might add. But since it's for subscription accounts only I got left off. So I can and WILL post every god damn misteak I find and put in bug reports till the cows come home. I used to have a programmer that liked me and would listen when I send him a message about a problem, he's not in the game anymore.
ok going to calm down before I ride to texas and kick some ass for junk I paid for, god I hate that!

Well I'm not exactly sure what is going on. I suspect someone at wizard is a moron. The servers keep throwing me all over the place, and that's when they sorta work. I have complained but it's not worth the typing. This morning I tried to do my gardening and god damn thing wouldn't let me switch characters! And this is my fault how?
Seems since pirate when live wizard was thrown to the side. This is NOT a smart move. I have played wizard everyday for the last oh 5 years or so. I help other players, give advice, point out what they should already know and generally have a good time. BUT if the game doesn't work right then WHAT THE FUCK? Are they listening to the players or just a few they think may be right?
Most schools are pretty straight forward, or I should say were. They added spells, huh? how you suppost to get said spells? You can't get a level 60 to go back to marleybone to get a spell, it's down right stupid. If you should have a spell then why is it random if you get it in a fight? Now who's moronic idea was this? If you start with going to the teacher for your spells then why all of a sudden teach is thrown aside for you to keep fighting the same guy over and over and over and pray the spell is granted to you? This makes no sense. Yet it's how they set it up.
They give you advice on how to GET stuff, really? for real? no, wizard expects other folks to figure it out and then they set up thier own website to give you some help. Is this a ploy to get you to help everyone? or is it dumb programming that dont make sense?
Let me remind folks, they have made MILLIONS of dollars with this game. Yet they dont have a phone number for you to call when the crap crashes. Tech support is what they can get by with , not proactive to try and stop problems. Used to have techs in the game you could show them the problem spots and they got fixed. Well not anymore. Since Pirate came out Wizard is the red headed step child.
If they think in thier wildest dreams I'll play? they have lost thier minds!
If I'm not good enough to test, and yes I tested wizard and AOL and Windows for year. Then what the hell makes you think I'm going to give you my expert reports on your junk? SCREW YOU. And that is my take on Pirate, keep it and pray they got new techs and programmers that are not idiots like the ones that did wizard.
