This week came with the expectation of being the opposite of the wild dash of week 1, and more like do what you want sort of deal. Which is what it was, which was really really weird after the last two expansions. But also REALLY nice. I could just log on and do things I felt like instead of having to go through some hoops.
Character Summary after Week 2 launch:
Dominator [Social Dungeon Tank Progress Character]
Human Paladin [Level 70]
Did 1,5 m0 sets, accord, dragonspear and a bunch of world quests and side quests for some progress of various kinds. And some dragonriding racing for fun and relaxation. But did not quite make it to chunk out more of the profession stuff, as I started with alts.
Would have been easier to just have herb/alch or something, right now I have a bunch of herbs but not using it on anything. Completing all the side quests and doing more side content while herbing would maybe have let me stack up enough for short term alchemy crafting, but now I will never find out. :)
Character Status
Guild: House of Small Gods [Status: Lack of active people have been a boon at launch, I could focus on my own stuff and play with the same people as I did last season]
Main spec: Protection [Status: Not changing]
iLevel: 371 [+6] [Status: Did the m0 circuit, dragonspear and the accord weekly for this small iLevel gain.]
Talents: BIEAwtJ2KpR8WbGzhz/jy2AP8USaikioEtIJlWTSCRkIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAANRSSI5AIRJlgkUCB [Status: Played this since 70, going to test something else next reset for m0]
Professions: Enchanting 40/100 [-] - Herbalism 100/100 [+6] - Cooking 50/100 [-] - Fishing 100/100 [-]. [Status: Enchanting and Cooking needs reputation gains for more recipes. Not changing Herbalism until I have another herber.]
Wutteät [Personal Dungeon Tank Progress Character]
Night Elf Demon Hunter [Level 70]
This one was the first to break the no alts before xmas goal. I dabbled a few days, and then had my "oopsie" day on sunday, trying to get it to 70 and have some gear before I did m0s with friends. But was not an oopsie day enough that I skipped doing other stuff to get it done, and played Dom for the dungeons even if he was loot locked at that point.
Dabbled a bit with some world quests and a couple m0s on monday and tuesday, but will prolly need some more dabbling before I can take the character into keys.
Character status
Guild: House of Small Gods [Status: Ideal for doing my own stuff since it has gone more silent, still]
Main spec: Vengeance [Status: Doubt this will change]
iLevel: 356 [+56]
Talents: BUkACnvaHJn8GSPD6tpaeczPTBAgIIJRSAEJCQDQ0iEJJJJJJtkISSSokkEAAAAA
[Status: Changed every day I play]
Professions: Leatherworking 40/100 [+40] - Skinning 100/100 [+100] [Status: Changed Enchanting to Skinning, dropped doing cooking and fishing on another character]
Esmënet [Dungeon DPS Progress Character]
Dark Iron Dwarf Hunter [Level 64]
With Wutteät let the leveling alts genie out of the bottle, this was the next in line to be played a bit after work for small bits. I dumped alchemy and engineering, and picked up herbalism and mining to make this my farm character. Got through the Shores main quest and done some herbing and mining and some world quest dragonriding, that's about it.
Character status
Guild: House of Small Gods [Status: Ideal for doing my own stuff since it has gone more silent]
Main spec: Beast Mastery [Status: Not likely to change]
iLevel: 300 [-]
Talents: B0PAIlFMjeNhnEouGfV8Ij2uShgWCACBAAAAAAAAAAgGRKSQE5ASiE5AhWOARIJEJRoRSE [Status: Leveling so just putting out random points at the moment]
Professions: Herbalism 20/100 [+20] - Mining 35/100 [+35] [Status: Neither alchemy nor engineering seemed to have the same stuff you wanted from it in bfa and sl, so took two gathering professions for now.]
Pets: Möenghus (Spider) and Kellhus (Spider) [Status: Will change as I level up in DF. If I can tame ducks, will most likely be a pair of those]
Opener plan
Play Dominator (as Protection Paladin) only until 2023. (Both Wutteät and Esmënet leveled a bit).
Clear m0s the preseason weeks. (Cleared all this week).
Complete between 1 and 8 keys per reset of season 1 until 2023. (Keys not open yet).
NO BLOODY TRYHARD PUSHING. (Keys not open yet).
Avoid planning out groups that might have role issues. In other words, try to find a consistent healer and not play with other tank mains. (The standard crew still no healer, but do not compete for roles per now)
Goal list for DF week-by-week
M+ score progress every active week. (Not active.)
Pet battle progress every active week.
Dragonriding progress every active week (depending on racing system). (Completed all the basic races.)
Do something with friends at some point every active weekend.
Profession progress every active week. (All 3 active characters had progress)
Gear progress every active week. (365 -> 371)
So I lasted one whole week before the alt thing broke down... One week more than SL, and it's not like they are level 70 and 370 ilevel. So there's that.
Dragonriding status
Did all the normal races, which unlocked advanced races.
Pet battle status
Questline: Uknown, need to find out where I am again as I have dropped the quest long ago.
# of pets: 496
# of level 25 pets: 3
PvP pet battle win/loss: 0-0
Forgot to set aside like 10 minutes to get any progress on this. :( It's just too much new stuff to give this much thought at the moment. Better luck next reset.
Next reset
m+ and raid will open. I will THANKFULLY not raid. I will however do m+, and I am sort of afraid I will break the reasonable playtime so far of just overdoing gametime one day a week, and end up spamming keys at the expense of something else I should do.
I doubt myself enough at this point to think that I will not stop at 8 keys done, but I will try to contain the number done some. Will look up SL keys done and compare, so at least I am not as insane as I was then.
