We win! Azteca finished! Ding 90!
TADA!
(insert screenshot of final battle between the Undying Malistaire and his minions and me, uber wife, and two random strangers that were pretty cool)
Why do I not have this screenshot readily available? BECAUSE SILLIES, I WAS ON THE LAPTOP AND NOW I'M ON THE MAIN COMPUTER!
Ok, I'll see if I can dig up a really cool screenshot on our computer. here you go:
Woot! Bailey and I are looking hawt caught there between a fire bridge and a volcano!
So, here's the deal with Azteca, it was pretty epic. Plenty of people have completed it before us, and plenty of people will complete it after us. I really have nothing much to add (strategy-wise) beyond what the amazing community has done with strategy guides and advice already:
Mercenaries is always a great place to visit for strats. Yup. What I can tell you is that--it was "uber" fun! What made it most fun of course was that I was playing side-by-side with the "uber wife" Bailey the whole way . . . sure she ditched me with her Storm Wizard and caught up to me AGAIN with her Fire Wizard mid-way through the whole thing, but that's too be expected when I was busy leveling a couple pirates up to 50, right? The important thing here is that we FINISHED! TOGETHER! AND LIKE I SAID . . . it was fun!!
There was a point in time about three-fourths of the way through when I started to go a little nuts on Bailey and started talking in baby talk for a couple hours straight while we were playing, but other than that my sanity is still in check. There was also a moment where everything became centered around yolo:
And during Xibalba we were happily watching Star Wars I and II since it was May the fourth (be with you), so lots of jokes about Yoda and the force were to be had.
Hmmm, what else . . . OH YEAH . . . Gotta say once of my favorite moments was pretending my mount was saying "ow ow ow ow hot hot hot hot ow ow ow ow" as we were running up the lava steps to Xibalba.
. . . and before we knew it it was all Malistaire hates us poof the end!
To be honest, I feel a bit out of the loop as to what to do next with Thomas. I imagine at this point is when I would try to find some gear to replace my Waterworks gear and farm and/or craft the heck out of the top instances in Wizard101, hunting for exactly the right piece of class specific gear.
Suggestions?
I know Bailey is going to craft the Azteca gear for her Fire wizard and will be working on her pets a bit more (as well as working in her new gardening farmhouse), but that's about it for now . . .
Thanks for reading!
Happy dueling!

Ding 50 -- Bad Pedro Pace!
Yes!
Bad Pedro Pace has finished the game and dinged 50 at the same time (yes that means I skipped a lot of sidequests ;p).
On Plus side: It was quite fun and interesting to experience the game as a Privateer. There were definitely different challenges to playing this way as to playing as a Witchdoctor, but there were a lot of similarities in that my first rounds were still filled with buffing -- Only instead of buffing with JuJu, I was buffing with things like Discipline and Call to Arms. If things got sticky, healing spells were readily available.
The ability to buff mid-combat when all my companions were spread out to the far reaches of the battleboard was nice too. Gotta love those accuracy buffs when you get a bad draw of mismatched companions, right?
I think what I noticed most was my power to turn the tide when joining others in combat. Oh my word, I was a super awesome support person that would literally save the day! Throwing down Valor's on some weakened companions and healing the entire team makes the Privateer the ultimate life saver--Listen people, you WANT Privateers in your group. :) Also, if you wanted to only play as a passive character in Pirate101, I think this would be the class to do it with.
On the Down side: My nautical level really suffered the second time through the game. I found myself less willing to grind up that Nautical level like I was with my first character and ended up being a level 50 player with a level 32 Nautical, and that's only because I stumbled upon a Nautical exp party someone was having in the skyways . . . otherwise I probably would have ended up at a level 30 Nautical. (yes, I know, I really did ignore most of my side quests.)
Thank you random people having a Nautical exp party! Y'all were worth an extra three nautical levels! It's too bad more Nautical exp parties don't happen in the Haunted Skyways of Cool Ranch when you really are feeling the pinch, right? (I believe there are a couple high powered ships in that particular skyway if I remember right.)
So, next up for me will be a romp through the game as either a Buccaneer or a Musketeer. My Buccaneer is currently level 18, so he would be the easiest to play, and he's leveled up to my son's character. My Musketeer is only level 8 I think, and is still hanging out with Uber Wife's character in Skull Island.
Either way, I'm still on that goal of getting all the character classes through the game.
See you in the skyways,
Happy Dueling!

Interesting Pirate101 Posts From the Weekend
Daily I review a ton of information about Pirate101. It basically consumes me, and I feel that digestion of all the news and thoughts is just part of my job. I see a lot of good things that from time to time I wish I could share with everyone in kind of a holistic look at our fine community. Unfortunately, time is my biggest enemy these days, and finding the time to blog and reblog is prohibitive from a lot of things!
So basically, there are a lot of sung and unsung heroes that are working hard to make this community unique and fantastic, and I appreciate them. I thought I'd just give a quick shoutout of a few awesome Pirate101 posts from over the weekend that I read (or listened to in the case of our fine podcasts).
~~
1- Player Requests -- One thing I've learned is that we can't really accept any privately submitted ideas . . . instead we encourage people to share publicly on our forums (mostly), but I also look at other official fan sites or anywhere people gather to share ideas. Here's a few that stood out over the weekend:
Coolster brought up the fact that Pirate101 doesn't really have Lore Book quests. He's right and it's something we've thought about expanding on -- for now the closest thing we have in game would be the quest The Halls of Learning in Valencia where you run around and click on the pillars to learn a Valencian point of view on the worlds of The Spiral.
Sirap asked for a way to toggle the auto ship attack off and on. I think there's definitely some validity to his request. It's been something cumbersome that's been hard to explain to players who want to help fire upon a ship that's already being engaged. Most new players simply allow the Auto attack to return fire when they are fired upon and don't know that you have to manually select the ship and click your ship's abilities to join in the attack.
At the 21:21 Mark of the most recent Talkin' the Plank podcast, Luke and Brandon suggested giving players more to do within the Spiral Threads since these seems to be nothing more than a staging area to go from one world to the next. They had some cool ideas like adding a Ship Wreckage collection quest or something like a minigame involving steering around waves . . . in essence, it seems like a waste of extra space and opportunity. On a side note, players on Central noted the hidden value of the Spiral Threads for farming as a free-to-play player.
OceanPainting had an interesting idea for a new class he called the “Brigand.” Posts about new classes will pop up from time to time, and I always find them interesting despite the fact that I don't think there really are plans to add an extra character class, but this was definitely an interesting idea . . . and who knows! Stranger things have happened, right? What I liked was that his idea seemed more fleshed out and had an understanding of how to make the class special. The introduction of an Intelligence score would have ALL KINDS of implications that would touch probably every mob in the game, but I appreciate the creativity, and it's not really my job to worry about the implications (is there a national Hug a Designer Day? There should be!)
Vinny and a bunch of others on the forums made a call for more One-Eyed Jack! :) I can't say I disagree with them. Obviously One-Eyed Jack holds a special place in my heart.
Moltenshadow made a request for World Arenas for Pirate101’s PvP--Just like they are in Wizard101. This has been brought up before and obviously we're not done with PvP in Pirate101 yet, but I like the way he's thinking here. Themed arenas would be great in my opinion! Of course, eventually a whole PvP revamp will happen.
~~
2- Player questions -- There are so many questions that come up in a day. Although most of them are about things that have a very standard answer, or things that CAN'T be answered (the dreaded "When's the next world coming out" question), many of them are simply thought provoking and taking a stab at answering them can be a bit of a stab in the dark.
Lucas asks why Lucy Sterling has a mustache (have to be logged in to see that thread). LOL. Well, that sounds absolutely crazy to me, and I've seen Lucy Sterling and no she doesn't have a mustache. So the question for me then becomes, is there some reason why Lucy Sterling would appear to have a mustache under the lighting of the Earth Guardian room? It is kind of a darker area. Or, is this a new glitch or simply a strange glitch on this person's computer? If someone has a good picture or can explain this, please let me know! April Fool's joke?
Coolster asks how come Wizard101 loads faster than Pirate101 even though Wizard101 has twice the worlds? Well, that's a really good question, and I believe we're looking to bring that back in-line with Wizard101! This is part of the reason we reduced the size of the introductory sequence of the game and made a number of other behind the scenes changes.
Coolster wonders why it appears the Black Storm Shaman is to be a Musketeer companion, but that there isn’t a side quest that grants him. It very well may be that there is a quest that used to grant the Black Storm Shaman, and perhaps it was removed. It's hard to tell, and further research is required.
Oceanpainting had multiple questions:
1. Will the Troggy Pack ever be revived as a full-fledged pack?
2. Will the Hammerhead shark ever make an appearance
3. Will the Water Mole concept art of the shop with the rock gorilla sculpture ever be used?
Truth be told there are several concepts that never become anything, and sometimes other concepts we simply hold in our back pocket until they're needed. Right now, I don't think the Troggy Pack is among the list of upcoming releases, but again, you never know!
Coolster asks, why are there variances between Lucky Jack Russell’s Promotion and Birgus and Gaspard’s Promotions . . . especially given the fact that the 3 of the MooShu five have a very similar promotion. It would be nice to have someone step up and answer a question like this, but it's kind of just "a thing that makes you go hmmmm." I imagine it was just something to provide variety (and the designers haven't got back to me on this one).
~~
3- Player fun and feedback -- Our players have a lot of fun and always give a lot of great feedback. Here's a quick look at what made this last weekend interesting:
Y'all liked our free Jug of Yum surprise we gave you for hitting 20,000 likes on Facebook! Awesome. We're going to keep growing, and I'm glad we were able to give everyone a little something.
This post just made me smile: “did you make the name el dorado up? or did you get it from the car the cadillac eldorado?” One of my coworkers said I should reply and say the next world after El Dorado will be El Camino. ;)
This is an awesome player-made “create a new companion” contest. I can't wait to see what comes out of this contest. Either way, it's really fun to take a look at these.
Enquiring players’ minds want to know . . . what could be behind the double doors in Lucious Fox’s shop? OOOOo! Nobody knows! I love a good mystery! :)
~~
Thanks everyone for all you do daily to make this a really fun and interesting community. Let me know your thoughts about these community posts. What did I miss mentioning from last weekend that you thought was interesting!?

Catching up -- P101 and DCUO
YO!
I don't want to bore you guys too much with a catching up post, but now I'm going to bore you guys with a catching up post. hehe.
Obviously I've been thinking about Pirate101 daily. I think about all our players and how they're doing in game. I love hearing about what level everyone has obtained and how they love and hate certain companions. I haven't run into a companion I despise yet! And that's probably because I'm yet to play with Nurse Quinn and the Hermit Crab from what I'm understanding. ;)
Bad Pedro Pace is now in MooShu
He's actually 44 right now. I just finished up Khotan and TOTALLY THREATENED THE CHICKEN!
I love that instance. It was surprisingly brutal for me as a privateer as well. All those first strike mobs made me change my line up to musketeers for a good portion of the dungeon. For General Tso's battle, it was a matter of choosing companions I thought could outlast the onslaught and bring a lot of single target damage to one of the mobs standing guard in front of the chicken. Can I just say how much I love my invincibility bubble and valor buffs in that fight? I love them. 'Nuff said.
Outside of Pirate101, I've been playing a lot of DC Universe Online with my Sunday Night static group. You can read more about our adventures on West Karana if you're interested. (As I've said before, DCUO isn't a kids' game . . . but it sure reminds me of the kid inside who loved to run down to the local 7-11 and buy comic books with my friends)
My character just earned his Tier1 armor wings yesterday!
I was pretty psyched about it. hehe.
I do hope that whatever you're doing, you're happy and having fun! Feel free to leave me a comment or a link to a blog post to let me know what you've been up to in the gaming world. I may host another contest here pretty soon and Uber Wife and I have been talking about a Happy Dueling podcast come back! Maybe, just maybe . . .
Happy dueling!

(As I've said before, DCUO isn't a kids' game . . . but it sure reminds me of the kid inside who loved to run down to the local 7-11 and buy comic books with my friends)
My character just earned his Tier1 armor wings yesterday!
I was pretty psyched about it. hehe.
I do hope that whatever you're doing, you're happy and having fun! Feel free to leave me a comment or a link to a blog post to let me know what you've been up to in the gaming world. I may host another contest here pretty soon and Uber Wife and I have been talking about a Happy Dueling podcast come back! Maybe, just maybe . . .
Happy dueling!
