Awesome artist David Mack was kind enough to send me these two links relating to his work. Last Saturday he gave a talk at the Salt Lake Library. There’s some beautifully massive pics and two great videos right here.
There’s also an insightful interview with the man himself here. Mack is always generous with his interviews and are definitely worth reading and I don’t just say that because we have an interview with him in next month’s Arcana magazine! Yay!
Today I met up with a warrior out in Siveria by the name of Wall. He was a fine bodyguard, I cannot think of one better then Wall yet! He escorted me through Blackwater to take some awesome screenshots of him fighting away.
Me: Hello there Wall! You were one of the first players to hit twenty, right?
Wall: As far as I know, there was only one or two people running around Darkwater at the time.
Me: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Wall: I like to help people, make people laugh and try to be reliable if possible.
Wall: Warrior, but of a tanking build.
Me: How do you like tanking in this game so far?
Wall: I liked gibberlings and tanking, so I figured why not both? And they are great at it. High agility to block, parry or dodge and since they are of the warrior class, great damage as well.
Me: What do you dislike the most about tanking?
Wall: Hmm…that’s a tough question, since I generally do love everything about it. But if there’s something I’d say it would be to wish I could take even more damage. I can already solo red bosses a few levels lower.
Me: So far in game, what is your favorite zone?
Wall: I really like Darkwater, it has a dark music and a dark atmoshphere about it, plus it has a level 20 instance. I always liked big forest areas as well.
Me: Sweet. If you could improve one thing about your class, what would it be? Besides taking more damage.
Wall: I wish the insult skill was better, it only lasts a few seconds. But, if it was longer I could keep aggro for quite some time.
Me: Are you looking forward to leveling your character to the next cap?
Wall: Yep. I don’t see why not. There’s a constant demand for tanks and there needs to be people who play them, and so I volunteer and have fun with it.
Me: Out of all the classes in the game, which do you wish there were more of besides your own?
Wall: I really don’t see that many wardens for some reasons. They are great for support for their heal over time and their potions that can be used in battle as well as many ways to cripple the enemy. At high levels I mean. I don’t see that many wardents at high levels. XP Even though the first one to hit 20 that I saw was a warden.
Here are some great screenshots of this Gibberling family in battle:
Oh, by the way, Gibberlings LOOOOOOOOVE to drink:
