Pewpewing in Hellgate: London

It’s been another crazy and hectic work week for me and unfortunately my busy schedule didn't give me much time to play Hellgate as much as I wanted to.

As little play time as I’ve had though, I’ve thoroughly been enjoying my gaming experience in Hellgate so far. My main character; a Summoner, is pink haired, has two plaits and is one deadly killing machine. *RAWR!*

If I'm going to die, at least I'll die in style.

I’ve always been a ‘cheongster’ kind of player – I love to jump into the fray of the action and just annihilate everything in sight. Of course, most of the time, I’m the one that gets annihilated instead. :P

Being a fan of pet-centric classes, it came as no surprise that I would choose the Summoner as my main. Although the Engineer also had a huge pull for me with his ability to self construct drones and bots, in the end it was the Summoner that won me over.

Interestingly enough, I’ve noticed that the current most popular class in Hellgate is the Guardian, followed closely by the Summoner. Many players with Summoner mains have been incredibly helpful in offering their advice on builds.

There's lots of feedback on an 'uber' Carnagor build to create the ULTIMATE tank. I've also heard that force elementals are able to take over the Carnagor's place as tank pets later in the game, and that build kinda fits my playstyle better as I find it incredibly therapeutic to run around with 100,000 elementals and pewpew everything in sight; especially after a particularly stressful day at work. (You forum flamers, you know who you are! :P) *threatens everyone with a fire extinguisher*

On a more serious note, I know the delay in the implementation of the patch has left many feeling frustrated and I truly understand and sympathize with how you all feel.

Rest assured that all the kinks are being ironed out and we are working around the clock to ensure that we bring the best possible Hellgate: London gaming experience to you guys asap. Thank you to all the gamers who have given their continued support and understanding.

For players who feel disappointment in missing out on the Guy Fawkes & Halloween event, I’d like to take this opportunity to inform all of you that there are lots and lots of goodies lined up. Though I’m not at liberty to disclose the details as yet, I will end this blog entry with a few hints ;)

NO, patch 0.1 is not coming next Halloween! *lol*

Say cheese and smile!

On a final note, many players have come to me and asked what the heck *PewPew and *QQ means and I thought that I'd clear everyone's queries once and for all.

See below for detailed explanation. :D

*Pewpew = derived from the sound laser beams make – pewpew!
The word pewpew is normally used in this context -
“Don’t let me pewpew your ass!”
“My dog pewpews in his sleep because he thinks he is Obiwan Kenobi”

*QQ= whining, complaining, etc
The word QQ can be used in this context –
“If you QQ anymore, I’m gonna pewpew your furry bum”
