Once more, from the top, with feeling...

Andre Sjanse, my last controller...

I don't even know what I feel about all this right now, it's been days, and I've gone from wanting to just walk away now, knowing it's all going away, to wanting to play as much as I can, because there's nothing like CoH out there...

So at this point I'm going ahead with the last plan that I was brewing up, though modified from my original constraints, since I was planning on doing a limited time per day/week thing, and I don't want to limit myself this way. I'm not even sure how much marketing will be going on, since I'm quite sure everything will be out of whack with prices either plummeting, meaning I don't have the influence to buy because I can't sell things, or sky-rocket, leaving whatever I can earn as way too little to buy what I want. So I don't even expect to make it to the build I have planned, but I do hope that I can get a few last memories before the lights are turned out...

Anyways, here's the build: (Can't figure out how to get the long list, will work on that, hopefully soon)

Hopefully there's still some fun left in this old' mmo for one last run.

Managed to figure out what I was doing wrong, or at least correct what I was doing wrong, cause I'm not sure what I changed...

Here's the full build:

I know I said I'd be updating this post a lot, and then promptly didn't... Well that's how things workout sometimes. And this really isn't going to end up being anything like my last one, since the market is just crazy right now.

What I'd like this to be, even though it's not about the Market now, is what this character has experienced. And so far it's been a lot of fun.

I'm coming up on 50 (48.5ish), and I must say this character is turning out to be as broken as I'd expected from the build. I've had lots of groups, nothing super memorable, but generally positive, and I'd like to start posting about them since that's what I feel is most important right now. To play the game and to play it with people.

I'll probably do some posts about how I'm getting stuff for the build, or tweaks I make to the build, but mostly about the people and the fun I'm having.

Like last night, managed to run some back-to-back TFs with two different groups of eight. First was a Citadel that just trounced things. A few times we would split, never quite an even split, and both halves would blow through groups until we met back up. Just about the only trouble we had was when one group agroed most of the "Prison Room" at once. (The room on Council maps with a big entrance-way that has about 4 groups relatively close.) Never quite wiped, but several of us fell in there, thankfully there was myself and another Dark with Howling Twilight so we could get multiples up fast.

Next was an ITF that turned into an absolute steam-roll. I think I got about 2.5 levels from that TF and we were moving fast. Great fun!

I hope to start jotting down a little more than this, but I'm having fun enjoying the game right now, so I can't promise much.

Thanks everyone for reading!

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that you didn't follow this up with more posts.

But I'm glad you did so well on this character, and glad you're having fun. ^_^ Just thought I should say that since nobody had actually responded to your posts. That doesn't mean people aren't reading!
