Have you ever had this feeling...

SahrotRein · July 2014

...that your character does not suit your playstyle and that you've already spent enough of time trying out things and not actually getting somewhere? Well, I had this moment, in fact, I have it now - again.

If I won't count a couple max. of 10lvl character on the game's launch, I've had VR1 Imperial Dragonknight (that took me 1 month), then I wanted to try out Nightblade and actually keep on playing him so I've used my money to buy motifs and a horse and got this NB to 48lv (in 4 weeks). Again, very recently I've felt badly for my character choosing and didn't rly feel like playing Nightblade so I switched to Templar, hoping it would be the last time. I powerleveled my blacksmithing to 35 in early level to get Ancient Elven motif, bought myself a horse, again all playable race motifs and started playing, hoping I'll get myself further than VR1 or 48lvl.
Now this Templar is 42lvl after just 2 weeks and I feel this emptiness (lol...) of playing something I don't like and I want to get back to my VR1 DK cuz I think that it suits me the most so far, I haven't tried out Sorc yet, just got to 20lvl in the early release but it wasn't really for me. That DK is still there, "functional", but I would still rather have a new one, make him a different character.

tl;dr
I can't keep playing one character for either more than a month or until it gets to lvl 40-VR1, I always think what it would be like of being on that lvl with a different character. I kinda like all the classes and DK seems to fit me the most, but to start over again, for the fourth time, nothing I am really into.

I don't know what I'm hoping for here... maybe a help or advice or something that would help me to decide.
Either way, thank you for reading this I appreciate your time!

PS: Almost made tl;dr longer than the actual post, lol.

Just play them all. Nothing wrong with that. Spend some time with one, after it starts feeling stale switch to another.

You won't hit vr12 anytime soon, but it is not a race.

As I first started reading this I thought it was going to be an ad to join a guild or try out a website for creating a build hahaha.

There's nothing wrong with being an altaholic. As the game matures you'll want to try new builds and combos and make new characters. Just keep in mind there is a cooldown timer implemented for deleting characters. I'm not sure exactly how long it is but maybe someone else can chime in on that point.

3 deletes available at first. Once used, one available delete is added back per 24 hr period.

Yes, Yes I've had this feeling inside.

You just enjoy alts. Play whichever holds your interest for that gaming session.

Also, you can utterly change the way any class plays with some extra skill points and a different gear loadout. My main is a classic caster-sorc, wearing pajamas and waving big sticks. I'm slowly building up enough points to add a medium-armor two-hander spec. Just for fun

Muletide · July 2014

My main is a DK that's VR9, but I also have a 30 Sorc, 25 Temp, and 10 NB that I hop on for different play styles when things get stale.

I would suggest farming as many Skyshards/Skillpoints as you can and build up a pool of skills/abilities/weapons that you can swap in and out of your bars. This helps break up the monotony of playing the same 24/7.

I'm mainly a PVE head, but getting into some PVP and joining a siege zerg is a nice change of play style too.

MasterSpatula · July 2014

I've been playing since day 1 of pre-release, and I don't yet have a VR12 because I have 6 characters that I alternate playing. This is how I enjoy playing the game. So I say let your alt flag fly!

SahrotRein · July 2014

Thank you all for responses °.° they've been helpful. Since my first character was Imperial DK that got to VR1 and I had the most fun with, I'll stick to that. I've tried all classes and now have an idea of what it's like at later lvls.
I suppose I'll keep the other characters, at least for a 12hr hireling :> but I usually just stick to one since I cannot just jump from one to another. I like to have that feeling of a main character that I play the most. <= also I tend to put most, if not all of my gold into making a new character, y'know powerleveling a profession or two, getting all motifs etc.
But now, since I am really an "Imperial fan" I'll take Imperial horse for 1 gold even though I can afford three 42,7k horses, also he's weaker compared to other horses at max stats but that does not matter to me that much.

So, thank you all for your help and making me decide!

...that there's really no good reason why you should be clicking on that purposely vague thread title, and then realize you were right in the first place?
