Preperations for GR/Iss17

I havent played a whole lot for the past entire year. I have been "On Holiday"... but with al this fuss about GR/Iss17 I just somehow felt the need to get in gear...

I rearranged my base... I have 15 Salvage holders thingys full of salvage mostly red...

I have been stockpiling all my purple built IOs in those IO holder things.

When it drops, I dont wanna "want" stuff I can't have immediately >.>

I am weird like that.

I myself have decided to catch up on some unfinished console games, and continue some other side projects that I stopped working on (RPG Maker and MUGEN, as well as others).

Don't think I'll bother with the beta too much.....I'll just wait 'till we get the finished product.

I've been shooting zombies in the head.

I run all my characters as teams competing with each other in a tournament... Spreadsheets for everything and everyone, a vastly complicated scoring system (for both power and reputation and the newly created teamwork)... currently over 100 spreadsheets and that's no exageration...

However, because Going Rogue has next to no information released about how it could affect the delicate scoring system of my tournament... I was at a loss.. I didn't feel like playing all 72 of my in-tournament characters because I felt pretty sure I would be revamping everything once GR got released...

So...

I deleted them. Every last one of them. And reduced them to only one Team Captain per server (I don't play on Pinnacle so that's 10 characters)... Starting said Captains over again at 1st level.. So that when GR gets released I have a lot less work to do updating spreadsheets and getting my tournament up-to-date for the new system...

This isn't a joke post... I only wish it were...

I see your wierd and raise you an obsessed...

I'm currently moving most of my toons from Zukunft to Union so I can actually experience the GR content in teams!
Playing Dragon Age, Guitar Hero and Brütal Legend.

I've got 3 tankers, 2 defenders, and 2 controllers that I'd really like to finish up and get to 50 as soon as possible. Most of them are in the 30s. I don't know how many I'll be able to get to 50 before GR comes out, but that's my goal. Basically, I want to finish my current projects before GR hits. This is especially true because I think that some of the characters I'm working on now interest me more for the endgame system (whatever it may be) than my current level 50 characters.

I just want to have everyone "ready" for the endgame system.

As for the new Praetorian content, there is nothing to get ready for. I'm gonna make a Dark/Pistols/Mental Defender and a Demon Summoning Mastermind and play them in that content.

Oh, I also did bring about 10 villains from my villain server (Protector) to my hero server (Pinnacle) in anticipation of making them heroes. In terms of the personality I imagine for them, they should have been heroes all along. I don't have any heroes that I think should actually be villains, so I may not play through any crossing over material in that direction.

Sloooowly pushing my scrapper of choice through Portal Hopper and Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member. When GR hits, I'm heading headlong into it with 15% bonus HP, dagnabbit! If only Tina McIntyre's arc didn't make me want to beat my head against a wall. "Well, it looks like you'll just have to clear out another entire outdoor area full of defense-debuffing robots! "

Mostly playing as usual, but I've got a few toons that I've parked until GR, either because they need to switch sides before I go further, or because I know I'll want to re-roll them as dual pistols or something.

I've just come back to the game, so in regards to the game - yes, I am a real alive person, so there are things I do that don't involve the game (despite the fact that I'm surprised how many times I managed to say 'the game' there, you guys have lost so many times) - I am MAing, maybe considering getting my mains up to Level 50 (though unfortunately one of them, the higher level one currently cannot finish his mission because my computer always crashes halfway through for some reason) and also doing some roleplaying/writing for my characters. I have advanced some degree in my storytelling ability since I was list in the game, so my original characters don't seem that interesting anymore in comparison to my new character. Oh, and the one I've reserved for Praetoria so far. Still thinking of more.

So basically, business as usual. Well, no, because my usual business doesn't involve having anything to do with CoX at all, so I suppose I mean that I haven't been transferring/deleting characters - other than my new character who I wasn't happy with the name/appearance, so I re-made him (re-rolled isn't really apt considering there is no randomness, something CoX lacks) - or making...spreadsheets...my god. Have you considered a Microsoft Excel rehabilitation centre?

I'm preparing by not playing until they fix SF difficulty from being stuck to ez-mode.
