1. For fun. That's always the most important thing. It is a game after all. For my friends. I am too chatty for my own good and the people I have met through playing this game are the best part of it IMO. Some have stopped playing but I am better for having met those people. For competition. I hate losing at anything ever. That person that flips the monopoly board over at xmas when their losing... That's me. ![]()
2. a ) My style is hard to pin down. I try do a little of everything. Except titan hunting and GvG. But predominantly I play the PvP ladder, I stomp for my friends and guild, I occasionally clear people on the BB and I qualify in global events. I use potions in qualifying for global events. I use mainly use just buffs for the rest of my gameplay but on occasion it is a combination of buffs and potions.
b ) Buff levels tend to be level 175 but can be 190 or 192. On potions I typically use the following for global event qualification. Conserve 575, AM 518, FI 1150, LL 230 and Reckoning 230. And on the occasions I use potions in other parts of my gameplay I sometimes use composing potions at level 300 but once or twice I have done potions at their max of 350 and 480 for SH. I sometimes use Crystal Ladder Chest potion's instead of composing potions for their duration.
3. In global event qualification I use those potion's for maximum efficiency. To get the most kills and frags for my stamina use. Simple as that really. And in PvP when I have to I will use potions but I tend to avoid it where possible. I am a hoarder in every sense. I don't like letting go of resources. So I use everything begrudgingly. I use them in response to others using theirs or when their is a sizeable level gap and thus a gear disadvantage. I try simply maintain the basic buffs and occasionally a more thorough buff use is needed. But like I say I will use potions when necessary... Monopoly board up in the air. You are not beating me LOL. Or if you are then it's going to cost you your most valuable resources. ![]()
4. Yes but not regularly. I use it now and then. Just poking my head in and seeing what people have to say. Occasionally will post something and have a brief conversation. Not something I spend a great deal of time on. I don't use it a lot because there are a lot of people there who let's say I don't wish to talk with. Also people use it to sell things and to beg for things which I dislike. Also it's mostly the same people posting again and again.
5. Everything except scavenging.
6. I wanted to see what I liked about playing FS and what I didn't. Only way to do that is to give everything a go. I enjoy a lot of aspects of the game but having given tme to all of them I never titan hunt and GvG very rarely. Only if a hitter for defending a GvG is needed desperately will I slowly raise my hand and volunteer. Apart from that I avoid it where possible. On titan hunting it just isn't interesting to me, never liked it. Chasing a titan across a map followed by small intervals of repeated left clicking and 0 spamming just isn't very fun for me. I used to level a lot, and enjoyed it for a long time. Did quests now and then, didn't like that at all.
But then I opted into the PvP ladders of old (400 - 449) (before they got fat) on a whim in my epics. It was more competitive then as lots of people played. Suffice to say I got torn a new one. It was brutal. I lost 10 levels in a couple of days just through defeat's and was left bewildered by what on earth had just occured. Having before that point never done anything remotely PvP related or even given thought to it losing XP was foreign to me. I complained and made a fuss like a little b**** and got dropped even harder. Then worse I started to bounty those that hit me (that was possible back then) and started to swing blindly in awful setups. This is double dipping. I lost 50 levels in a short time and would of lost a lot more had my friend and PvP tutor to be not stuck up for me and asked people to cut me some slack. Instead of joining others in forcing his foot in my behind he decided to invest some time in conersation with me teaching me the basics of PvP. Basic rules of combat. What I should aim to be doing when building a setup, what buffs do and some home truths about what you do and what you don't do. He was on this very same ladder and decided to teach someone essentially how to challenge him. Slowly but surely I learned making a lot of mistakes along the way and eventually I improved. But I have been hooked ever since and only really level now out of necessity and when jumping to a new band. So the PvP ladder is my favourite part of this game by a long way. That's what I prefer to spend my time doing. I am opted into the ladder most of the year. ![]()
After having discovered and learned to love playing the ladder I branched out into giving PvP itself a go and thus enjoyed hitting for gold and joining any and all deleveling parties. I then started clearing people on the BB and enjoyed it so have stuck with this kind of gameplay since. Then the globals came along and I liked the idea a lot. Have qualified in a fair few events and persued a top #100 place a number of times as well. It's something different to do now and then and I do tend to throw my hat in when they come along.
7. Every day. And I am online a lot though a fair portion of that I am not actually here instead on auto - reload. I do still play a lot though. Bizarrely I was always very active and played a lot, addicted to this game in many respects. Then grew tired and quit completely for 3 years not playing at all. And have since returned and am back to feeling how I used to playing a lot once again. 2 separate periods of loving playing the game and doing so reglarly separated by a time when I didn't miss playing at all and had no intention of doing so again.
8. I technically joined 16th of May 2010. But I joined but didn't play at all for about 6 months. Don't remember why in honesty. Might have just been a bit too much to learn and figure out and I wasn't in the mood for it. But eventually I rediscovered the game and began to play and it went from there. Then like I say above I had a period where I quit and didn't play at all for 3 years. So whilst my join date shows not far from 7 years of activity in honesty it's more like 3 and a half years of actual gameplay.
9. Yes. The game is so much better in my opinion when your in a guild. It's an extension of your own gameplay and well simply put things are more fun if you share them with others. Even better if you find like minded players who enjoy doing the things you do. People share their knowledge, their advice and try to help others if they can. The chat a constant ongoing conversation for those that want to take part. Always loved being part of a team. ![]()
10. I don't remember what level I was when I joined my first guild. Something I wish I had saved in my notepad. Level 63 is screaming out at me for some reason. That might be it but certainly early on once I began playing. One of the first things I was advised to do was to seek out a guild and try to learn the game.
Sorry those were very long answers to anyone deciding to read it. Like I said too chatty for my own good. ![]()
P.S... Nice idea for a thread. A little look into the FS history of anyone that want's to share. All just opinions and all in good nature. Weirdly enjoyed posting mine. ![]()
