First Opinions on the Celestial Power Set

Grah! It would seem the honorable Skip Cocoa has Parkinson’s Disease of the Mouse. He can’t touch a mouse without sporadically twitching at random buttons and hitting the back button while typing out long walls of text that he hasn’t had the honorable sense of saving recently. Let me advise that you not buy a “gamer mouse” if you can’t touch it without tapping mindlessly at the extra buttons at inappropriate times. They do things. Things mortals were not meant to have power over. Now, on to business.

With the new Bloodmoon event on its way, the biggest talk is about the new Celestial power set. It’s a big one with lots of powers, and since they’re up on the public test shard, we’re gonna have to take a look prior to their live release. To facilitate this test, yours truly, the honorable Skip Cocoa, has found and donned an ancient, divine artifact to temporarily become The Radiant Skip Cocoa! Behold!

Sexiness has never known such a righteous master. It’s a near shame to be going back to my less divine but still sexy self on the live servers. Now, to the matter at hand.

New Power House Gets “Danger Room”

You asked for it, and they delivered. As of today, wandering into a Power House will be a new sight to see. The old rooms are all present, now accessible via teleporter, or you can enter the new “Battle Station”, instanced off for your privacy, and face down enemy holograms to test your new powers in question. It’s not a bad place for dueling either. Trainers will also give advice on powers you might find handy, though suggesting I take “Mindful Resources” when I’m no where near qualifying for it might be a bit far sighted..

My only real complaint, on the whole, is the rooms could use their own trainers, since the loading between rooms slows the process down more than the hallways ever did.
