Well, it's been almost a week. I'm going to spend Memorial Day weekend out of town, so when work is over today, I'm outta here with my wife and adult daughter for a few days. Good time to give an update.
Except that there hasn't been much of one. I've been on the game every day, sometimes for quite a while, but I have made absolutely no story progression. In fact, this may continue. Although I've knocked out about half a dozen raw video files and turned them into uploaded YouTube playthrough chapters after editing, I just counted, and as of this morning, I still have 37 raw video files of playthroughs on my hard drive. I have several characters where I've just now edited their first playthrough files, or haven't even yet gotten to their first playthrough video files. I feel like I need to make substantial progress on knocking those back before I add to the pile-up. And while I thought that I was making progress, an actual count of the files I've edited and posted vs what I still have makes that not really true.
So, I've messed around with some stuff. I've done the screenshot files for all of my OG characters, over on the Dark Fantasy X blog. I've made a bunch of money with John crafting stuff and selling it. I've spent a bunch of money on the GTN. And, of course, I finished off the very last of the seasons achievements and got the space cowboy duster look for Fen Zeil unlocked. I've played a bit with Hutran Thanatos, who I'm no longer recording, because he doesn't need to be recorded, so it's more relaxing. He just finished Nar Shaddaa. Ironically, that puts him ahead of everyone here. But without having to mess with recording, he's easier to just sit down and play, so that's probably why. But I haven't done anything that added more story progress video, and I've been reluctant to do so for now.
So, I'll not talk at all about my old characters anymore, or even my non-recording characters, and just give a quick update on location and level for my playthrough video characters, in the order in which I think I'll play them again, as soon as I feel like I've editing enough backlog of video to create more. And I won't give a tracker update until I've actually played and recorded something new with them either.
Anstal Tane. Level 42 Scoundrel playing the smuggler story. Sith Pureblood, male. Just finished Taris with him, but before I fly off to Nar Shaddaa, I'm going to do the bonus series, and record it.
Elemer Kell. Level 36 Sentinel playing the Jedi Knight story. Imperial Zabrak, male. Just arrived on Taris and walked out of the spaceport, but otherwise have to start all of the missions.
Vant Galaide. Level 35 Mercenary playing the bounty hunter story. Human male. Just arrived on Balmorra. I actually skipped the phone call from Crysta so I could go shop for a Mako customization on Balmorra and make her blonde, but then I fast-traveled back to my ship.
Revecca Arden. Level 34 Sorceress playing the Sith Inquisitor story. Human female. Just about to go to Balmorra. You'll notice that all three of the last characters are essentially in the same place in the story, and although the leveling between them is a little bit off, they're essentially in the same place with their level too. Anstal's the farthest ahead, but when he's done with the bonus series, the next three characters will all catch up to his place in the story right after him.
Haul Romund. Level 33 Mercenary playing the Smuggler story. Human male. Although Haul seems to be the same as the other above in terms of level, or close enough, he's actually at the earlier stopping point in the story, having just arrived on the capital planet (Coruscant, obviously, in his case.) This next group of characters are all at that same place in the story.
Vash Galaide. Level 35 Powertech playing the agent story. Human male. He's benefited from a lot of repeats of the Black Talon, so his level is the highest relative to his place in the story of any character in my collection.
Phovos Maledict. Level 28 Juggernaut playing the Sith Warrior story. Human male.
Wulf Hengest. Level 30 Vanguard playing the bounty hunter story. Human male.
Codon Veile. Level 21 Sniper playing the trooper story. Chiss male. This guy, along with the next two, has finished the starter planet, but not yet done the travel flashpoint, i.e. Black Talon for Imperials or Esseles for Republic. Because I have two troopers using different classes, I'll probably pull him ahead in the queue and do him after Haul, however. I don't want to play two trooper stories back to back without a gap of some other class between them.
Mirabeau Tane. Level 20 Gunslinger playing the trooper story. Cyborg male. I actually feel like it might be worth while for Codon and Mirabeau to go back to Ord Mantell when I get back in town and do the Heroics there for the leveling and gearing grind before doing the Esseles and heading to Coruscant. It wouldn't kill them to be a couple of levels higher so they can be approaching level 30 to leave Coruscant, or even already in the 30s, ideally. It'd be nice if we had another (and longer) double XP event as part of the 10th anniversary celebration too, for that matter. So far, the 10th anniversary hasn't been all that much to write home about.
Embric Stane. Level 19 Mercenary playing the bounty hunter story. Cyborg male. I actually only played him at all to get the Hunter's Blaster, because I had carelessly tossed it with every other character, but then discovered that it actually not only looks really good but is legacy bound. Like my other non-recording characters, I'll doubt that I'll continue to mention him in the future. I also doubt that I'll continue to play him for many more weeks, if at all. I've already got two other bounty hunter story playthroughs going on. Don't really need him.
