Double XP Weekend turned out to be less of a CoX-fest than I’d expected. Part of it was just fatigue. Part of it was feeling like I just had to be out there maxxing my XP generation every moment, and resenting that feeling. Part of it was just other things to do.
At any rate, my actual gameplay was no more (and somewhat less, in fact) than other weekends.
We did get Torchy and Hildy up to 35, a power level, which was nice, I’m torn between Electricity and Fire for my Epic Pools, and I don’t have a lot of stuff in the sub-Epics that I’m eagerly looking forward to — some nice-to’s, but no must-haves.
Margie got Blue Point to 49 (yow), and pushed her new solo alt, Last Ice Dragon, to 14 (I need to get LID onto my list at the left).
We briefly played with Cetus and Lunulata, getting them both up to 9, with the intent of then pairing them off with Christmas Present and Al McGordo, but that didn’t go very far. Fact is, it still a slog going through the sub-14 levels, and I just didn’t have the patience for it. That, and I’m finding the squids less than thrilling (though it’s hard to judge an AT by just a few levels).
Eliza Dee has been starting and aborting the same Vaz mission, oh, four times now. I really need to spend some time with her. And with Lynn, who has similarly started and aborted the same CoT mission a similar number of times. Frustrating.
