I am not sure if this is a story or a question...And if it is a question, whatever answer I get will probably be the direct of opposite of what I do...At least according to my past history that seems to be the case.
Well, not too long ago (yes, I guess I am noob) I started out with the goal in mind of doing something different...Something challenging. I decided to create a life mage. No war. See how far I could get. Most people said I wouldn't make it to 30 without war.
Just to make things interesting, I decided to do this on DarkTide. I also decided I would do it with no help from anyone else. I am also, ironically, completely and utterly non-PK. I am NOT anti-PK, I am NON-PK. I have never killed anyone and fully intend to keep it that way. This is a point of pride with me. What I like about DarkTide is not being able to kill people...But being able to kill them and NOT doing it. Which is apparently the direct opposite reason EVERYONE else plays.
I have also decided to not macro or even use sixth sense...Not because I am high and mighty (believe me, I used the hell out of the hacks on other servers and I am far from opposed to them), but because I want to try to do something different. Oh...Yeah...And because my computer/connection sucks and DECAL tends to make things crash/very slow.
Okay...My question is this...I have just recently passed into my adolescence and hit 50. I have the option now to pick up War...Should I sell out and pick it up, or keep using just life? Has anyone made it all the way to the high levels with just life? To tell you the truth, I am still doing alright leveling with just life...But then, I have never had war, so I don't really know how much faster I would be leveling if I had it.
Besides this dilemma, I find myself sorely lacking level 7's. Should I sell out even further more and join a guild to get help getting 7's? Even worse (or better?), should I just buy the scrolls online?
Or is what I am doing completely stupid and I should just quit and go back to playing something easier, like FreeCell and minesweeper?
Most importantly, should I even listen to any of you? Or do the direct opposite of what everyone tells me to do, as I have done so far.
The funny thing is, the more I have done to be unlike anyone else, the more I have enjoyed playing this game...And I do love this game. Maybe there isn't a "right" way to play...But since, in game anyway, I can't really talk to anyone without being killed first, which is something I do follow the pack in and try to avoid, I find myself strangely interested in other DT players opinions of my ambitions. Hell, I am not even sure that what I am doing is really all that unique.
