Only Two to Go

Because of various swim meets and other commitments with the youngest Joarling, I did not get the chance to post last week. More on that in a bit. 

Since my last post, I managed to finish up that Vulpera warlock and also get a Mecha-gnome Hunter to max level. The leveling time from scratch on the Hunter was about 8 hours and 45 minutes, so it was pretty quick.  

I have gotten a house and done a bit of decorating, but I haven't spent a ton of time on it. Because I've been playing so long, I have quite a bit of decorating stuff already available to me, so I've been able to fill up and level my place a decent amount already. I'll very likely return to that at some point.

That leaves me with only two existing characters to go - an Earthen Warlock, which I've already gotten to level 28, and then a random Gnome Hunter that I don't even remember creating.

After that, I'll probably finish the new Elder Scrolls content, run a new character through the new Diablo 4 season, and then maybe run a few more characters through the latest GW2 expansion. But who knows!

On the personal front, last week, the youngest Joarling competed in the "Winter Jr. Nationals" swimming meet, which is basically the highest-level meet available to 18-and-under swimmers in the US. He had a really outstanding meet, earning bronze in both the 50 Free and the 100 Breast, and making it back to finals in the 100 Free.  He and his teammates also won gold in the 200 Medley Relay and 200 Free Relay, and silver in the 400 Free Relay. In the 200 Free Relay, they broke a 12-year-old meet record set by a group of four kids, three of whom would go on to be Olympians, two of them gold medalists.  

It was a pretty good week for him all around!

Cheers,

November Month In Review

 I was back to a more typical level of game play during November, coming in at right around 45 hours. For the first time in quite a while, World of Warcraft was not my top game, as I spent a bunch of time playing Diablo 4 this month, which came in at a total of 25 hours, as I got a Necromancer to max level as well as a Spiritborn and started working on gearing them up through Torment levels as well. Diablo 4 may continue to get a decent amount of play time for a bit as I'll likely play a new character through the new season coming up next week.

I haven't decided between Rogue and Barbarian yet, although it sounds like Rogue isn't supposed to be as strong for this coming season as it was last season, so I may be heading the Barbarian route.

The next game in the stack was World of Warcraft, where I continued to work on leveling the alt army. That may take up a bunch of my time starting later this week, as there will be some new content and the much-anticipated player housing dropping. I will definitely be getting that sorted out and equipped with all the comforts of home before going back to finish leveling those last four toons.

I've gotten my Vulpera Warlock to level 75, and then I have two hunters and one more warlock to go. With the new leveling bonuses also coming out this week, those won't take long once I really focus.

Then last was Guild Wars 2, coming in at 9 hours as I ran the new expansion activity on my Reaper. I haven't really started it on my Machinist yet, but I will probably do that if I get some time in December and January.

I've also just picked up Elder Scrolls Online a bit today, as I have new content there to do with the 2nd part of the Worm Cult stuff, having dropped a while ago, so you may see that one get added to the list starting in December.

That's the update for now.

Cheers,

Joar
