Alternating between Alts

How do those of you with multiple Alts split your time between them? I have Cmbt who is capped so is there for Raiding/Epics, Marn who is now 14th, and Pala who just hit 11th last night. Woulld the suggestion be to alternate the 2 I am leveling on days that Cmbt is on timer, or something else?

Well, my suggestion would be to do whatever the hell you enjoy...

Personally, I have ten toons ranging from 4th to 20th. I tend to raid with the capped ones, and when they're on timer I'll play one of the lowbies. I tend to give myself short term projects, and spend a lot of time on one alt for a week or two, then drop it for several months while I do other things. It's not getting them capped fast, but it lets me enjoy a wide variety of game content.

Whatever makes you happy...  I have 4 at the cap that I alternate in Epics and Raids depending on what we need to fill and what I feel like playing.  My wizard would be my main right now or at least the most requested.  I have a smattering of lows/TR's that I go to when I get bored with end game and feel like doing something different. Some nights I feel like smashing shit and some nights I just want to pike on my Cleric...

However, I know people who can't play this way.  They need to 'complete' one character grind all the gear and etc before they will bounce to another. 

So, in the end...  it's a game.  Do what is fun for you.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Well thats the thing, while I enjoy level and playing different characters, the 2 that are not capped or raiding I want to get there (at least raiding) before I take on any other projects. Gear will come in time.

If I feel like playing my bard then that is what I'll do.  Same with any of my characters.

I'll typically go for a few weeks before actually playing a different class and will just focus on the one I'm in the mood to play. 

I do get some farming in if I'm looking for something specific or just need another completion.  For example, I'm looking for a Head of Good Fortune on my haggle bard so I'll multibox with my wiz then but that doesn't mean I'm wanting to play my wiz.  Same with getting in a Shroud completion in with my wiz.  All that is just chores and I'll go play my bard after getting the chores done.

Play what you're in the mood for.  I have 4 alts:

A capped melee
A Wizard (15th)
A PD lowbie Paladin
A very new unguilded lowbie Bard side project


The PD is a static night and I don't play him outside of that.  I run my capped toon when I'm just in the mood to hang with friends and run a few raids or epics, I run my wizard most of the other times, and I run my bard if I just want to mess around.  At some point I want to TR my melee, but I'd like to cap my wizard first, so I'm tending to focus on leveling the wizard.

Springroll is my next character to get TR'd so I try to keep him off raid timers if I can.

Greenis is at level 15 in the TR process, so I run him when I can.

Bueferd just capped and still needs to finish Amarath flagging.

The rest of my capped characters run shroud, or fill other roles in guild raids.

I have a lvl 4, 6 and 13 I may start paying attention to at some point.

I generally run with Gawna, Jaxx, Amail, Crulax and/or Falutin. So, whatever fits into their plans is good.

Well my next project is to cap and TR Jannddarr (my first character who is a very gimped elf pali/rog sitting as a bank toon at 12th atm). However, I don't want to even start on him until I get Pala and Marn capped.

I tend to run with whoever the heck is on.

Sounds like that's your answer. Play whichever of those two you feel like. If you're bored of one, play the other. Smiley
