You know who you are.

 

If you spend more time in the costume creator than it takes to prepare dinner, you may be an altoholic.

If you have more alternate characters than badges, you may be an altoholic.

 

 

alt-o-holic alt-creation-itis alt-itis alt-friendly altism altaholic.. so many terms for having so many characters.

I'm not even ashamed, i made 5 EM characters once I27 went live, spent 1.4 billion and 8k merits to slot them up fully.

 

I have 38 active fully slotted level 50s

14 Tankers

6 Scrappers

4 Stalkers

4 Brutes

6 Controllers

1 Blaster

1 Sentinel

1 MM

1 Corruptor

 

I also have about as many "Projects" I'm working on the back end, but its probably going to be a while before they get attention due to my EM obsession at the moment - I have 8 of those.  lol

I can't keep up with my own altitis. For every toon I get to 50, 3 more level 1s arise in its wake. Help.

So, that's like the Hydra version of Altitis?

 

Level one character to fifty, and three more shall takes its place!

Hail Hydritis!

I am on a pretty serious non-alt streak.  I have run one character (mostly) since late Oct.  I did stop to quickly 50 an alt, and have made 1-2 and zoned in then left.  

 

I have re-configured this main's costume a dozen times and recently rewrote the whole backstory.  Does that count?

I have wittled my list to 100 and its staying there until half of them are full t4s.  Am working on #13 now so this may take a while.  Okay maybe not half..but at least all the ones that are already at 50.

I only have 30-40 across all the servers, so less that a 3rd that I had on Legacy. I only have three 50's because getting to max level is just not that important to me.

 

Sometimes I just roll up a character because I came up with a name, like last night I made a Dual Pistols/Kin named 'Doubleshot Espresso'.

 

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.

I have very few toons at 50 but quite a lot in the mid levels vying for attention.  OTOH I like eating dinner quite a lot so that tends to get my time too (just bought fixing for homemade chili).

altoholic -

I may have a problem.

Currently 158 Toons spread over 3 servers. But at least 29 of them have reached 50 and one is even vet level 68, with all tier 4 incarnates.

I mean who needs real life friends when I can always create another alt....lol

 

I also have charts and graphs ON EXCEL  to track them. So if my on-line friends need a 30's defender I can see what I have in a flash.

JUST SAY NO......

 

opposite end of altolic here. 

 

Only 3 toons  

Tanker Vet level 126

Blaster vet level 89

Troller vet level 1,135

 

I like words like loyalty, dependability......

 

I don't fear change......I am just pro keeping everything the same...

Cool. I'm no altoholic. 80+ characters all but one below 20. But each has about 50 badges.

I have spent the past year focusing on one alt a month.

Getting them lvl'd, badge, and T4'd out.

 

You know you have altitis when you are scrolling through your list and "discover"  a lvl 1 you don't remember making.

...

It is a pretty sweet character 🙂

Try coming up with a great name and concept for a character, only to find someone already  took the name, then, a couple months later you're looking through your character roster and not only did YOU create that character with that name already, it's T3'd.  

 

I knew there couldn't be someone else who made a Mercs/Emp named Missionary Physician.

 

Currently at 84x 50s and 55x somewhere between 1 and 48.  As of December 2022 I had 1920 unused Enhancement Catalysts, 4044 Emp Merits, 42440 Threads, 6673 Shards, and 26706 Reward Merits spread amongst those 50s, and I have labored on it ever since. 

 

Oh, 'tis a ponderous chain.

Anything you can have, we have it.  Even got a devil in the attic.

My solution is playing each one up from Level 1 to fully T4d Incarnate 50.  Then they go on a shelf of toons I still play from time to time when the mood strikes me.  The rule is no farms and no PI radios before 50.  2xp is good tho.

 

Between the hours I play, the 50s I occasionally re-play even after they are "finished"... I end up not having really that many different alts.  Maybe 8 or 9 are "finished" and another half a dozen are serious starts on toons I will probably one day finish.

For now, I've stopped at 130 alts. Reason being, the majority of my alts were getting to the high-20s, low-30s, then just sitting there. I was logging in every day, scrolling through my pages of alts, picking whichever struck my fancy, and playing it long enough to gain a level, then picking another and doing the same. Or I'd roll a new alt, play it hard until around levels 15-20, then move on to something else. As each alt leveled up, I'd move it up in the list, so my alts were all sorted by level. This also had the undesired result of all my alts with primary powersets that I don't especially like (say, dual-pistols) being all clumped together in the same level range where that PS starts to bore me.

 

I changed my approach after I finally got my 10th character to 50 (and all ten of them sorted to the first character page). Decided to leave all my characters where they are in the list, and work on leveling one page of characters at a time. Rather than play each character until it gains another level, I keep them parked in police stations while I'm not playing them for the Law Enforcer/Arachnos Agent buff, and use that buff as a timer. So I start at the top of the page, and play the first character until that buff runs out, then move on to the next character. By the time I circle back to a character, it has reloaded the buff, "resetting" the timer. So now I have a second page of 50s, for a total of 20, and now I'm working on the third page of 10.

 

I primarily play "pure" DPS ATs - Blasters, scrappers, brutes, sentinels, and stalkers, though I have a couple defenders, tankers, and corruptors, and I think one dominator. I also have spreadsheets for the DPS ATs, for their primary/secondary powersets, so that I don't duplicate combinations within an AT. The only exception I've made to my "no duplicates" rule is two psychic blast/mental manipulation blasters. One of them started out as a corruptor, which just wasn't working for me, so I rerolled her as a blaster, and psychic blast/mental manipulation was the only combo that would fit her concept, and I already had another such blaster.
