About That Whole Statesman Thing…

So I’ve been sitting on the news that broke yesterday about the next character arriving in MOBA/ARPG hybrid Master X Master: Statesman from City of Heroes. When it first was provided to me, I was pretty well dumbstruck. As a matter of fact, I’ve been dumbstruck about it for the ten-odd days I had to keep quiet on the matter.

But now that the embargo on the news is lifted, I can talk about my feelings about the matter. And those feelings can essentially be boiled down to a weird jambalaya of confusion paired with the desire to still see MXM succeed while also feeling guilty about having both emotions.

Sometimes, surprises ain’t fun.

Blade and Soul Through Wolfy’s Eyes

I’ve mentioned before that this blog is a mostly positive space, right?  That I kinda went in to this thing with the personal mission statement that I would leave the grousing or bad-mouthing or other negativity on the wayside because there’s lots of other folks who are already doing that?

So it shall be with this impressions piece.  If you were hoping for me to tear this game down, I’ll ask you to stop reading now and please move on.  That’s not to say there aren’t things I find concerning, but that also means I generally am enjoying myself in Blade and Soul.

“Pfft. Probably paid off by NCSoft anyway.”
