My Lord, KI, why don't you let me HATE YOU?!

Remember this post I made a long long time ago saying why I am quitting Wizard101?

#1: Better Graphics

The bottom picture is of Sensitive Serena(Serena is the name of my IRL cat - yes, I now have a kitten and she loves torturing me while I play computer games and sleeping behind my computer) in Pirate101. The top picture is that of Sierra and Katie having a "talk" and OMG those two look hideous compared to Serena!

Is it too much to ask to update the graphics of player characters in Wizard101 to Pirate101 HD?
Welp...



They heard me.

The Summer 2018 Test Realm includes a full HD upgrade for Wizard City as well as "talk" animations for NPCs. I am pretty sure they are going to do better now. Still waiting for the upgrade to pet training, but they also included a new "photomancy" User Interface so you can take more dramatic screenshots...



And now Monstrology has more monsters you can steal animus from. Yep, three new Monstrology essence types were added in the new Test Realm - Manders, imps, and elephant-type enemies. It's not 100% better but I am glad they chose Manders and Elephants as new enemies to give for house guests. I can now upgrade Katie's House of Monsterdromes to 2018. ^_^

Thankfully I got my SSC check this month and July is a dry month for PS4. ;)

So yeah, 2018 is going to be a Christmas in July for me as I return to Wizard101. I am going to buy some time for Sierra Fairyfriend and Katie Ravenpetal and check out the Test Realm.

Prizes?

Nope.

Yeah, not happening...

Sadly, I am unable to continue playing Wizard101 and thus the adventures of Katie RavenPetal are on hold for an indeterminate amount of time, possibly forever. :(

I know, I've always quit and returned many times, but this time may be the last straw and a total no more Wizard101 for the rest of my life. I've had... personal $$$ issues lately and thus lost a lot of money this month so I have had to gut some fish and one of those fish, sadly, is the KingsIsle franchise racket.

I am not surprised I find myself "quitting." Despite the hype, I am not really sure I want to trudge through Khrysalis to get to Polaris. I swore I would resolve to get someone to Polaris but after all the whining and screaming about the Fight Club and Medulla in Empyrea, maybe it would be best not to even visit Polaris. *sigh* I'll make one more post on this blog for the time being about how KingsIsle needs to improve their games.

Anyways, I have made a decision to focus on one gaming venue this year, and with now the proud owner of a Nintendo Switch and the PS4 lineup looking up and possible PSN store cred earned from trophies, I have gone back to PS trophy hunting on a new account. If I do do a MMO...



It'll be this one because I get trophies from it. Sorry, KingsIsle, your in-game badges are no match for FFXIV trophies and cutscenes that make your camera zooms on Merle Ambrose look like fifth-grade drama art! I wish you good luck on your mobile franchises however, Alphacat looks cute. ^_^
