Pre-Nightfall

-Stocking up on supplies for four days and a fifth day emergence ration, IV bags with my favorite caffeine drink in them ready to go. Quick microwaveable foods, (hot pockets, pizza rolls) tape and tooth picks to keep eyes open.
Rearranging furniture to make the shortest trip the bath room as possible with out blocking emergence aid if needed (safety first) move fridge and microwave with in easy reach. And making sure a doctor is on call and 911 is on speed dial. Disconnecting door bell turning off all phones but one (which will be turned off after the call of you game is ready to be picked up)
Get doctors note explaining some made up illness that gets me out of work for a week.
Secure the house put up no trespassing signs in front yard, crime scene do not cross tape across the all doors and windows.
Optional if applied: Send family off to sisters or mother house for four days (Monday being a recuperation day). Pets get sent to kennel.
Camp or sleep next to place where the game will be received.

And just joking around of course.

Since I missed the preview weekend (noobish move on my part) I'll probably start off with either a paragon or dervish (tbd) and go through whatever beginning area until I can bring my ranger over to finish the story. Then complete the rest with my new char... then have tea and crumpets to celebrate.

I will Probably Not do what i done in factions witch was start a rt
1) I will get my necro through capping ALL elites that the necro can get and getting all the skills for a necro and what ever my secondary prof will be, adn trying 2 get more of my titles on the way+sell anything i get as soon as i get it unless its crap.
2) Make a Paragons, get them through the game, get 15k armour + perfect weapons so on, maybe fow armour all depending on the looks
3) then finish the rest of the game with all my chars+ make a Dervish at the end of it all 2 make sure every town is not swamped with them

I'm gonna forget about half my current PVE characters and just farm Hero skills for all characters with my warrior.

yasmina · Oct 24, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

I am surely going to start a new character and explore the entire world like I did in the preview weekend I was very impressed that before I even got off the starter island that I was already 20 with plenty of missions still to do there where also elite missions that you had to uncover that where outside the different zones as you explored also.

I would like to follow the story line and see what unfolds then I will take my pre-exisiting characters and have them go thru the story line also and gather some new elite skills on the way to improve on my current builds and also see what is required for some of the new armor

im going to take it slow- Im not going to rush to the end with my farmy-type characters because If I take my time and enjoy the game, the prices will drop anyways... that and I have the preorder items which will do me just fine for the new classes.

I wont buy any 15k armor til I see a pic on guildwiki first-> I actually use that as a decision for male vs female when making a new class/character... but Im going female for paragon for sure, I love the dance.

EDIT*Actually, one of the first things I will try to do is unlock the prophecies and cantha Heros using characters that have beaten the game -theoretically this will unlock them for pvp characters to use.. since I might start using my pvp slot more (or have to buy another)

Bringer Of Fury · Oct 24, 2006, 08:45 PM // 20:45

I bet there will be a LOT of dervishes running around, just like the assasins in early factions.
So ill wait and blaze through with my MM necro to scout things out and possibly get some rare drops which i can sell for a redicilous amount of money and buy some nightfalls 15k armor for my ele, who i will be taking through after my necro.
When im done with that ill stand around some area with lots of ppl and shine in my new armor for a while

Then MAYBE i will make a para, possibly a derv and go through the game at a nice and comfortable pace and look at all the beautiful sights.

Yep, same here. Monk first, or perhaps my mesmer. Either of these then creating a new one.

freekedoutfish · Oct 25, 2006, 10:05 AM // 10:05

Ill do what I did with factions.

I'll take my tyrian born Ele through the entire game to get experience of.

I'll get 100% exploration and protector on the Elonia before I create any local characters.

Then hopefully Ill be onto my 6th title.

xb0vv · Oct 25, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

Cruise through with my monk.
Start from scratch with a mesmer.

Cebe · Oct 25, 2006, 12:30 PM // 12:30

I've decided to take my ele through missions just before a new monk. My ele was the first character I ever created in Factions and I'll take her across first... Shortly after I'm going to make a new character, a Mo/Me and start from scratch in Elona. This way I can flit between a more experienced character and a new character. Also, if my new character needs anything odd...like those irritating drake fins or whatever they were in the preview, my ele can go solo a few to try to get one. I never managed to get any of those things when I tried the preview!

After the Ele is through I will start on bringing across the Mesmer, Ritualist, Necro and Ranger...probably in that order.

I'm going to see what happens with Dervishes and Paragons. I want to see if either is going to be like Assassins before I start one. My prediction is Dervishes will turn out to be the Elonian "sin" and people will not be able to play them well...and Paragons will be ... "ok"...but never as good as a rit. My thoughts.

Bankai · Oct 25, 2006, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Make a monk. Then I'll probably make a dervish, and give a go at solo farming. Yeah, have never done it before. And I give it 1 week till a viable solo build has been made.

sifung · Oct 26, 2006, 12:36 AM // 00:36

Ill finish it 1st with Dervish,and later bring my warrior and ranger.

BeXoR · Oct 26, 2006, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Chances are I'll be playing regularly with guildmates - 2 or 3 people so a party of all Derv/Para is gonna suck. So I think I'll make a monk first. :P

As much as I want to play Para and Derv really soon, I want to enjoy the storyline as well so I'll take one for the team. :P

DeathByBowtie · Oct 26, 2006, 03:39 AM // 03:39

I'm gonna bring my monk through first, then probably try out a Dervish (even though I sucked super-hard with mine in the preview event :P)

Cicada Sopita · Oct 26, 2006, 12:59 PM // 12:59

I'll start by bringing my mesmer to Elona... but before doing any of the decision quests with her, I want to know how they affect the playing - she is too dear to me to risk doing permanent or even semi-permanent mistakes with her. Propably I'll make as many characters as I have slots and do the beginning quests with them until I get enough information to proceed. And, if everything else fails, there is also farming... those 15k armors to all of my characters are going to take a lot of money...

Goldleader · Oct 26, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

I can't wait to unleash my ritualist upon Elona. Beat the game with him and then work on my monk.

After that, I'll try my mesmer.
