It's been 6 years and I still...

It's been six years, and I'm still trying to level 3 of the first 5 characters I ever created and played past level 10. It's my goal this year to finish them.

Organica: My first ever character. Created as a katana/dark armor scrapper, leveled to 17, promptly deleted and rerolled as a katana/regen scrapper. This was back when katana had the broadsword animations, and regen made you a god. I got all the way to level 36, but after weeks of street hunting in Brickstown I stopped playing her. Later moved her to Virtue, and this November she finally hit 50! Yay!

Jalia: My first 50, a fire/axe tank, leveled before burn was changed. I've moved her to Virtue and then Freedom, changing her name both times... I still don't like playing her that much.

Mouse Police: I have two level 50 Mouse Police characters on Virtue and Victory, but the very original Mouse Police was an invul/energy melee tank that I deleted at 20 and rebuilt as a dark melee/invul scrapper. (I didn't like the lack of damage the tank had -- strangely enough one of my favorite 50's today is an invul/energy melee tank). She was 27 before I stopped playing her. Later I moved her to Justice and she is up to level 44 I think.

Jalia Ice: An ice/ice blaster, got her to 26, never liked the name, but I liked ice blasting well enough. Eventually I moved this toon to Freedom and remade her as the Mouse Police of that server. I got her to 43, but she's been stuck there a while.

Shinobu: My Winter Lord baby! This was a fire/kin created in June 2004 long before they were in vogue. I went from about 10 to almost 30 on Winter Lords, then played up to 32 so I could get my imps. Right after that, I lost interest in the character. I later moved her to Virtue, had to change the name slightly ("Shinobu Dragonfire", bleh), and then decided I still wasn't big on playing a fire/kin, so she sat for 3 more years. These past two weeks I've revamped and respec'd the character yet again and I've been having more fun with her; she's now up to 37. I think she needs a better name though.

I still talk to my team during big fights. After all the times it's gotten me killed, you think I would learn to shut up, but some things never change!

play as the first toon I created. Rarely will I be seen playing an alt; (though from time to time I will). Now that I can freely go between Good and Evil, I find little reason to play any other's I made.


.... I still have not bothered getting past lvl 9 with my Preatorian. Not because I do not find it new and interesting; I just want to run those missions with my main guy.

I still have a minor phobia of making a hero-side Science based character thanks to the Vhazilok.

I remade one of my original characters twice, trying to get past the 10s or so where you got way too many Vhazilok missions.

Eventually I made that Invulnerability Tank a mutant and got to 50.

Still think Vahz are a bit broken for low levels.

Still here, even after all this time!

After almost four years, I still:

* forget to write down my powers and slots before a respec.
* have never installed Mids.
* have never played a Brute or a Tank past lvl 5.
* forget that just because I've mapped a zone on one character doesn't mean I've done it on all of them.
* set my inspiration tray the same way (greens, blues, red/yellow, orange/purples, wakes/breaks, small to large going from bottom to top)
* land my character Agent Tavarisch by Posi in Steel Canyon, sigh for a moment, then take off again every time she flies through the zone.

Also, I still:

• haven't done a single shard TF, STF, or CoP.
• haven't gotten a blaster, defender, corruptor, stalker, tanker, or kheld to 50.
• haven't got my oldest(?) alt (bs/regen) to 50 (41).
• haven't tried pvp.
• miss street sweeping.
• couldn't hit the inf cap, even if I combined 80+ alts of inf.
• am amused as I recall how I tried to make two separate ff/elec defenders into blasters (one in beta, one right after launch).
• avoid missions in Oranbega like the Plague.
• haven't figured out exactly why cut and paste doesn't work for me (something to do with my Dvorak kb layout, I suspect).
• love this game.

Feel heroic evertime I hear the Atlas Park fanfare.

Nice to see you posting, Synapse.

...Can't really seem to get into any character beyond my level 50 Kinetic/Energy Defender.

...And, just like everyone else, it seems, have a very specific setup for my inspirations. Although, especially on my aforementioned Defender, I usually skip the damage boosts, as it just seems redundant.

After almost 7 years, I still:

Organize my insps in greens/combat/blues/1 wakey. I also combine 3 insps now instead of using that 1 wakey. I have no idea why, I just feel like I should have it. I think I carried the same small wakey around for a year once.

Will forsake power for theme. I've made a speedster with every speed power. Even whirlwind.

Make way too many costumes with just tights. I also seem to be in love with white boots and gloves. I rarely use capes for some reason.

Want animated hair. I'll scalp Ghost Widow if I have to. Even for the males.

Hate hasted. Every toon has it, but I hate the noise, the effect, and the fact that it interrupts my cool poses...

Its been 6 years, and I still die once before I remember to use the inspirations in my tray. Must be slow reflexes. Of course, I am Largo...

Its been 6 years and I still play my original character first, on every new release. That makes it tough when the release is mostly for lower level content, of course, there is ouroboros.

On a related note, its been 6 years and I have not deleted any 50s.

Its been 6 years, and there are still some TFs I have not completed. I think I have attempted almost all, except the shadow shard ones, never even started one of those. I've attempted the Eden trial twice, never successfully completed it, attempted the sewer trial 4-5 times and completed it once. Only been on 2 Hami raids and that was probably 4 years ago.

... haven't leveled my first character ever to 50.

i almost left the game in 2004 due to how bad my inv/EM tank was (i was like lvl 12 or so), then a friend convinced me to make a illusion/kinetics controller. a dozen 50s later (one of every other AT too!), i respeced my tank, got him into the 40s and am slowly pounding my way to 50 in between badging villianside with my controller.

While I haven't played this game for 6years, I have played MMO's for 6yrs with same issues carrying over.

I am never able to max out a toon due to my altaholicism (I have 10 right now and just started a week ago)

I can't keep my bag/inventory/insp tray in any one form of an organizational pattern for too long before the need to "optimize it" overcomes me.

I still pull more baddies than my toon can reasonably handle because I always think that the next pull will be the one where I triumph and I can proudly yell that I am a god

All of my gear/costume designs tend to go towards Black and a matching dark color. Never Black on Black though. Black is ALWAYS the main color.

I rush into every boss fight believing that any and all strats to defeating it are bunk and that the best way to beat a boss is to bash on him with everything I have until he dies.

I use the same names for every toon compromised of 20 names made from a list 8yrs ago. I never deviate.

I never make male toons.
