I was playing 2on2 today with my friend and faced very bad latency in game. Or well… it wasn’t that I would had high ping myself. Instead of that my recent messages was above 50%. Look at this screenshot what I took and see it yourself:
So my ping is just 110 but in that round 81% of messages have been resent.
Stunlock Studios announced their Weekly update #4! today.
Shortly that message included following things:
Go and read weekly update #4 now!
I made thread to Bloodline Champions Forums yesterday. Title of that thread is Will this game some day rise up? I wanted to find out what people think about this game future. And as I thought biggest problem of this wonderful game is their publisher. Yes problem is FunCom who is ruining BLC and don’t let it shine like it could. Let’s think patch 2.0 example. I’m sure that medallions and traits are idea of FunCom. And whole leveling how it today works. But I’m very glad that leveling will be boosted 50% in next patch. Question is just that when that patch will be here?
Bloodline Champions is great game if you ask that from me. But there is some problems which should be fixed.
Example packet losses what I have been facing recently. It’s very annoying and since this is E-Sport game there can’t be those. So they have to do something about those servers. And servers are now located to Sweden. Because of that example Italian and Spain players have said that they are facing serious lag. Another problem is that there isn’t enough players to have good match making system. With current population which is maybe about 2000 there is OK match making system but it could be better.
Other slight problems is how long it takes to reach max level (25) but it will be fixed in next patch. They have said that they boost it by 50% percentage. I don’t also like that their publisher is FunCom since they seem to be so greedy. Example to unlock one Bloodline you need 17000 Blood coins. And it takes some time to farm those coins.
Well at least they will fix that leveling problem which maybe might motivate new players to reach level 25. But that game needs other fixes too. We’ll see what Stunlock Studios will do about it.
As you may have noticed my recent three posts (four if you want to include this one) have been about Bloodline Champions. In future my posts in this blog will be mainly about that game because of two reasons: Because I play that game myself and I want to help amazing community of that game.
Bloodline Champions doesn’t have big players base at this moment. I’m sure that it’s because developers of that game have not advertised their game enough. My blog can help that problem at least a bit. Even though my blog is very fresh and doesn’t have much readers yet I’m sure that is only situational problem. Or well that’s what I hope myself.
Of course I will also post about other thing than Bloodline Champions in this blog but my main focus is on BLC. I’ll also start to make at least one post per day. So if you used to check my blog twice a week now you have reason to check my blog once a day.
I wanted to share picture of bloodline what I have been trying to master… Reaver.
Bloodline Reaver
If you have read this blog and started playing Bloodline Champions but have been hard time learning it you should read this post.
I have been reading Bloodline Champions Forums little and found yesterday very useful starter guide. Shadd have wrote it and you can see that he have put time to it.
It contains three things: FAQ, Glossary and general tips. It’s very useful guide especially for people who have not played MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). I now copy paste few very useful tips/parts from that guide.
Bloodline Champions - Igniter
Question: What’s the best bloodline?
Answer: There are no “best” bloodlines. All the characters of this game are meant to be equal in power; they differ in their role on the battlefield and in how those roles are performed.
Q: What’s/how do i complete the “starter quest”? Are there other quests in the game?
A: The starter quest is a small bunch of “objectives” you can fulfill to recieve either 3000 bloodcoins or one free bloodline out of a selected range. And no, the starter quest is the only “quest” in the game; the most similar things to it are achievements.
To complete it, fulfil the following objectives:
- Reach or get past level 5.
- Complete the basic tutorial.
- Win at least 1 arena, 1 conquest and 1 capture the artifact game.
Q: What’s the fastest way to earn bloodcoins?
A: Rated 3v3 games are the most rewarding concerning bloodcoins. To know how to create a team, check above. If you haven’t already, you can also fulfil the easy achievements that require you to win at least one game for each bloodline. To do so, you can use the single player, in which all of the bloodlines are free to try against AI bots.
Also consider that the higher the game length, more the coins earned.
And these was just very few from his FAQ section. If these was useful (or even if they wasn’t) I suggest you to read his guide. It taught me many tricks which I didn’t know before. And I wonder if it doesn’t do same to you!
In my last post I talked about Bloodline Champions I’ll keep that topic. If some of you have started playing BLC or have already played it I strongly recommend to get your attention to IGN Prime Game Takeover!. You can get few thing free of charge to Bloodline Champion.
Example: Bloodline Gunner, 7 day XP boost, 7 day Bloodcoins boost.
IGN Prime Exclusive - Bloodline Champions
It’s worth of taking since it wont cost you anything. Only thing you need to get it is credit card. If that makes you think that why you need credit card if it wont cost you anything it’s because it’ll automatically put auto subscribe on but you can always turn it off if you feel so.
Gunner Weapon - IGN Special
I took this pack today and I have to say that it’s very cool since it really don’t cost anything to you. And with same “price” you can explore this IGN Prime in their site for 7 days if you don’t want to pay anything for it. So I say this again. If you like Bloodline Champions please get this!
If you want to read others BLC players conversation about this you can do it from their forums.
Official page of IGN Prime Punisher of Bloodline Champions can be found here.
And since I want to get your hype up. I put replay contest of Bloodline Champions here so if you haven’t played this game yet you can see some cool action from Youtube!
Two days ago was Friday and 13rd. I’m glad that nothing unlucky happened on that day.
After leveling to my Bounty Hunter to level 25 and facing some strange bug which made me to sunk under surface and been unable to move or use /stuck feature on SWToR I have been playing Bloodline Champions few days (mostly 2on2 but also 3on3 little) and it have been very fun. If you don’t know what is Bloodline Champions you can check their web site.
Shortly that game is MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) which you could compare to WoW Arena where two teams fight till another team falls. You need 3 wins to fight whole match. Or at least that’s how ranked matches work. Of course you can host your own game and decide how many wins you need to win match. Normally matches are 3on3 or 2on2. But game’s balance is focused on 3on3.
In WoW Arena you can just select your target and then use your ranked or melee attacks to fight at to enemy. In BLC it’s not so. Since it’s 2D game you use your mouse to aim your skills. And that’s main thing what makes it’s so fun. Skill based arena game at least mostly. If arena gaming is for you I recommend testing it out.
If you want to help me you can make your account to game using this link. It gives me some fun friend points and when you start playing game you get 5000 Blood coins what you can use to unlock new bloodlines (heroes) or buy some fun additions to your bloodlines which are example different weapons (don’t add any damage) or some kind of trinkets what you can use in game.
If you want to know more about this game before trying it out you can do it from their site.

In last post I said that I’ll start leveling Bounty Hunter. I have been doing that are now at level 21. It have been very funny and I have enjoyed.
But this time my post I’ll not focus SWTOR leveling. Instead of it I’ll show you pictures of some fancy bug what I have been facing randomly. My friend don’t have this bug and it only happens in conversations. It either doesn’t show me NPC’s eyes or messes up textures.
Nem'ro The Hutt you look so... different.
Mako your eyes are so sexy!
And for last I wanna show you my cool “hat”!
Dat hat!
I have played some amount of time SWTOR since early access. I started with Sith Warrior but stopped playing that class at level 23. After that I have played Imperial Agent and Sith Inquisitator to level 10. Other words I have finished starting area with all of those. Bounty Hunter is only class what I have not played same amount.
So I’m wondering which class should I play in SWTOR? I like fast action placed game play. So that’s reason why Imperial Agent didn’t feel like fun… at least not as Sniper. Sith Inquisitator felt like pretty fun. But for some reason I didn’t want to continue after clearing starting area. Sith Warrior felt best so far. Charging to battle is fun. But I had feeling that something is missing. Don’t know why.
So am I expecting too much? Might be. Because other hand playing is fun. But then I want something more. And what is that? Well let’s think:
- I want fast paced gameplay.
- I want to get cool feelings.
- Something different from World of Warcraft classes. Other words: I want something what feels fresh.
- Bad ass action!
- Great story!
I’m thinking that I could try Bounty Hunter next. Hopefully I’ll stay on that class. Since blasters are cool. And double blasters are even more cool!
