Still here, still busy

I'm still around, just been pretty busy with work and things.

Guild Wars 2 is still my main focus, although my sister recently got the Secret World on sale, and I've been tinkering around with a character on there.

*Waves*

It's been fun enough that I think I'm gonna get the game myself, once my tax return stuff is done and I can get myself a new computer. Which hopefully will be in the next couple weeks or so. :D

With Guild Wars, I been able to get a couple character slots, so I have one of each class now. Ranger is still my favorite, though my warrior, guardian, and necromancer have been a blast too. I've finally made an elementalist that I click with, too, after rolling 2-3 that wound up getting deleted. (Apologies for the picture spam  >.<)

Blood Legion warrior, Raskur Steelfang

elementalist Ari Flameleaf, with a buddy.

Iron Legion engineer, Bear Stonepaw

Kal Riversong, Norn thief. Yes, of course I rolled Kal over here. ;)

necromancer Vanni Sparlock, with her undead posse

mesmer Jorren Ashkel

guardian Kero Skyblade

Kel and Odin, admiring the view

Kel is still my highest level at 50-something, with Kero next at 32 (I think). Raskur and Vanni are both mid-20s, and everyone else is still in the high teens. Jorren and Bear have been a little neglected lately, but they will be leveled eventually. As far as everyone else, I've just been playing with whoever I feel like at that moment, which usually winds up being Kel or Kero. I think Raskur and Vanni have gotten as high as they are simply because when I do play with them, it's usually for most of the day, so they'll get around 2-4 levels each time. Kal is fun too, and would probably be higher, except thieves can be a little tricky to play compared to rangers and guardians, and I just haven't been 'in the mood' to play her as much. She gets to be spoiled with everyone else's crafting, though, so it's not that bad. ;)

I'm still tinkering around on WoW, too. I haven't been doing as much alt-leveling as I would like to, because work has been leaving me too tired and achy to settle down and concentrate for very long, but I'm still getting a little time on Timeless Isle and pet battling. I think another issue I've been having with Warcraft has been computer related, because I think my graphics card might be starting to go bad, so everything in the game looks horrible and pixelated and glitchy, and it's just sort of depressing to look at. Not to mention that the lag has gotten so bad that I can't even do anything group-related, like LFD or LFR, because spending boss fights with my game completely frozen is not particularly fun. :\  Hopefully, finally getting a new computer will help, and I can try to get back into WoW a bit more. Because I miss my friends. :(

I've been missing Star Wars a bit lately, too, but I had to let my sub run out (and the non-sub restrictions really suck) after some after-holiday work hours got cut, but everything has settled back to normal there, so hopefully I can get back to my babies characters there, too.

Well, that's pretty much all I've been up to lately. With any luck, the next post I make will be from a nice, shiny, new computer. :D

So, I did it

The Guild Wars 2 sale was just too much to pass up, so now I have my own account full of characters. And of course, the first one I rolled was a ranger. Sis had said some good things about the Norn area, so Kel Stormbough has been introduced to Tyria. And can I just say.... dang...

help me i kind of made her hot whoops

With Sabre. Because Kel must always have a Sabre.

With Odin.

With Drago the ice drake.

This is Tahnka, and unfortunately I can't ever remember exactly what he is. But look at that face, he's so cute (and deadly).

With Thor.

I may have gone a little crazy with charming things.... >.>
But seriously, I accidentally made a really good-looking character, so I'm not complaining. I also have a very small and unintentional thing with Norse pet names (She also has a fern hound named Freya, but no screenshots of her yet).

Continuing with my altaholicism, I also have a charr warrior, sylvari elementalist, and a human guardian. I'm also planning one or two more. I really want a charr engineer, and also want to try out a mesmer. I had an asura thief, but the character wasn't really working out, so I'm going to reroll a different race later. Apparently asuras fall into the same category with me as gnomes in WoW; they're cute and I like them, I just can't get interested in them enough to actually play one. I might try another asura someday, maybe another ranger since they're so much fun.

Ari Ashleaf, elementalist

Raskur Steelfang, warrior

Kero Skyblade, guardian

So far my warrior has been my second favorite. Mostly because I just love the charr. Kero has been pretty fun as well, although guardians were not exactly like I expected. I was expecting more like a paladin/fighter type class, but she's more like a mix between paladin and water-mage. I'm getting used to it though!

That's it for now, I think. I really should be taking more screenshot with my characters, rather than almost all viewpoint scenery shots. Although I do have a new favorite pic of Kel.

And on that note... /Waves

Guild Wars is pretty

I've been tinkering on the characters I made on sis's Guild Wars 2 account. Most of it has been exploring, which has resulted in some really pretty screenshots. I also just found out that the game is on sale until December 3rd, so maybe, hopefully, I might be able to afford it after the month's rent/bills are taken care of. $30 is a whole lot easier to manage than $50, and plus there's no subscription to worry about. And it really is a fun game, and great for just goofing around to kill time when I don't feel like playing any of my other games.

Hello again

Ugh, holidays. Once upon a time, I actually enjoyed them. Now it seems like it's just another thing to stress me out. (And make my job even crazier.) And I swear, if I hear one single Christmas carol before Thanksgiving is over, I will punch something.  -_-

On a somewhat more cheerful note, Star Wars is still going well, even with my unexpected spells of altitis. Khrysi is 47, and is currently going through the Voss bonus series before heading to Correlia. I've been missing Qurana pretty bad lately, so she'll probably be the next one I focus on. Drax'o and Xadarr have been poking me for attention, too. And Jhorren finally finished chapter 2 of his story.

(Here, have some screenshot spam)

Drax'o has been getting a little spoiled, gear-wise. >.>   I happened upon the Minimalist Gladiator's armor for very cheap in the GTN, and just couldn't resist. I've been collecting the Cassus Fett set as well, and right now the chest piece is the last thing I need. He's probably going to keep using the Gladiator's most of the time though. Because seriously, just look at him. (Mako certainly is...)

And speaking of Qurana.... I may not have been playing her much, but she has been getting a bunch of companion gifts from Khrysi, and as a result, her and Vector are 'Official' now.

there were many *squees* happening during this.

The agent/Vector romance gives me so many warm-fuzzy feelings, I just don't even..... *sigh*

Khrysi and Iresso have been *cough* getting to know each other better, as well. Which is kind of funny, because she has never seemed interested in that sort of thing before. She even turned Theran's offer down, and didn't really do much, if any, flirting with Iresso before the first romance conversation came up. I'm not sure if she's going to go with the marriage proposal or not, when it happens. Right now I'm thinking she'll turn it down (but still keep the relationship), but I'll have to wait and see what "vibes" (for lack of a better word) she's giving me when the time comes.

..... I've kind of been spending a lot of time thinking about my characters, alright? Don't judge. >.>

Also, sis went and got Guild Wars 2, (hooray for awesome sales!) and let me make a couple characters to tinker with. My sylvari elementalist hasn't done much yet, but my char ranger has been a blast.

Meet Daunclaw (and Fang)

She's level 7 and has been mostly just exploring and killing random things to get as many weapon skills as possible. It's been a fun, relaxing distraction so far, and I can't wait til I can finally get a better computer and get my own copy of the game. Sis also said something about getting a month's time of Final Fantasy 14 soon-ish, so hopefully I will get to play with Kero and Jorren again, too.

Well, I think that's enough for now. You know, I might maybe make a  few character posts sometime, just to show off the piles of screenshots I've been taking, and to get a few things about each of them out of my head and written down. We'll have to see how much work and stuff distracts me from actually doing it. :P
