All rounder....

The long weekend here for Paddy's day was over in the blink of an eye. I think I need a week to recover from it, not that I even drink.... or party hard.... or got up to anything strange.... but am still shattered.


Lots of gaming was still done. The jury is still out on weather it was all productive in-game time.

Apologies first for double posting, I have a habit of creating and editing posts quickly, errors do get through, including miss clicking when correcting posts that are "out". Dang the update and repost options.
With luck when I do re-edit a post in future I will update rather then repost.
Publish and Save are also a little too close together for comfort, fingers crossed I avoid that mistake.

Wow in general contained bouts of the usual farming/dailies; And getting used to my new level 90 rog.  I've not gotten the numbers I'd like with Assassination so I may turn him over full time to a combat spec. My other half boosted her hunter to 90, it was a toss up between a hunter and her Paladin.... Hunter won through ease of use I think. I'll not really mention the abuse during tanking on the pala....

10 More living steel will see my Hunter get his Sky Golem..... must plant more ore....

Even with the timeless Isles gear the divide between the epically equipped has never been larger. It used to be that if you had epic purples you were (almost) set... now its the shade of purple you have that makes the difference!

The weekend saw my Hearthstone mount goal completed. I'll post that up in detail separately.
Once I had finished and gotten the Hearthsteed I logged into wow to be greeted with this:

Talk about timing!
So I collected the mount....
Got the achi....
Then re-subbed for 6 month's..... that's a lot of money Blizz has gotten from me in the last week....
1 special edition of WoD expansion, 1 normal edition of WoD Expansion & a 6 month sub, thank crunchy it was pay week.

I got to handin a lot of the gear for transmog's and then used them to transmog my hunter...

Still needs a lot to complete the look...

I did a fair amount of battlefield 4 as well, some good matches and some bad matches, all kept me coming back for more.
I've just gotten to level 31, unlocked all but the recon class's perks and am about half way through that. I am not a fan of the Sniper rifles, although I can appreciate the skill involved. Much better to flank the snipers overlooking whatever point and bayonet them.... I find that quiet therapeutic especially after they snipe me and dont' move from their perch.
I'm also trying to find the best role for each class with the best layout of gear per map/match type, but I think mixing and matching between spawns is "fine".
As I play the recon class I seem to be leaning more towards an Engineer type of play sytle, upgrading the carbines and using the C4 against tanks and such. I think I'll have to take my time in larger games to actually start being a sniper/dedicated marksman properly. Overall I'm very happy with the Assault/Support and Engineer setup.
As some stage I need to finish off the single player campaign after the last save game corruption just to be sure I can get access to more unlockables.

Eve was again the usual PI/POS and skills updates.
My main main has reached the longer term skills around the 21 Days+ mark. I think I'll have to redo a list of skills that alt's have that he does not. That's another "thing" I have, if an alt is all level 4's in say armour skills, and on comparison I see that my main only has level 3's in the same skills.... that's a stop the press moment.

My second main had done enough missions to get the 120k LP needed to buy the Stratios cruiser bpc.


I have to say that owning both the frig and the cruiser has been a bit of a double edged sword. Actually owning the ships has proved different. The gaining of LP and the making of isk has been good. As they say the want is not as good as the have.

Better to use a Buzzard than the SOE frig, I can see the use of the cruiser being better, as a Buzzard upgrade, but I can't think of a case where I would actually use it instead.
For now they are fitted collectors pieces.

I'll do a lot more soe missions so that the second main gets more sec statues/isk/loot and LP to buy the main main a bpc as well.... (another "thing" I do, cant' have one char with and one without).
Once that's done I think I'll be concentrating on epic arc's on both characters. Then moving on to Incursions with the main.

My Null alt finally got a chance to setup the plasma planet, with a lil more luck I'll get the final product rolling out properly by the end of the week.
