MilkManX 2 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Ok so I got this game a month or so ago. Started a Shadow Warrior but really didnt read the manual. Long story short he is pretty neat but not what I wanted to play. I was kind of dreading making another one and re-starting. Then I remembered how many Phantasy Star Online characters I went through lol. I restarted one today after learning so much more about the game and I am already having more fun than I did the first time. The only bummer is re-starting the campaign with my new one since I do want to finish it at least once. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I've come to love restarting new characters. The skill choices we get to make at the beginning of a new toon's life have always been exciting for me. Since there are no respecs, it gives a real value to having to make the choices, and getting to choose the mods per CA all over again fill me with excitement over how they will work on a new build. Course, having resources at this point turns re-starts into a pleasant experience. I remember a few months ago, when gold was low, having to restart could be a drag, and equipment was a horror story. Now with bargaining network, and lots of nice friends Starting new toons is joyous, exciting and something I can even look forward to. Sure toons die, but sometimes I just get bored with the way the mechanics of a build are turning out, and for that reason alone a new re-roll is in order. Nice topic here, Mike, and good luck with your new build. gogo Link to comment
CaptCrunchPants 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am one of those people who gets bored with characters. I also tend to be really ADD. I will start are character with an idea or an idea from someone else and then when the next new one comes along I will ditch the current one. I have been like this with pretty much every game I have played. Guildwars was a huge one. Link to comment
sohma 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 my man just rerolled a temple guardian and is having a blast,just messing around.so I agree rerolling can be great thing to do when your bored or a char isnt working out. Link to comment
Kingy 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 What exactly happens if you "Restart" a char? I never have.. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think what we mean by restarting is to delete the toon that is in the current character slot then filling it in with a new one. No respecs in this game ^^ gogo Link to comment

Kingy 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Making a completely new character gogo So, if I beat the game on silver difficulty, and unlocked gold and start the game again playing gold.. would that count Link to comment
MilkManX 2 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah my Shadow Warrior is already so much better for my play style. I am a melee brawler. Get me in the fight and get the heck outta my way! So far he is Level 9 with Tactics Lore,Sword Lore and Dual Weild and Death Lord Focus. I am running though mobs with Duel Wield Death Blow.

Sych 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Same boat as you, Milk. My first character a week or so ago was a SW, played for a while, with no idea of really what I was doing. Last thing I did was kill off the Kobold Chieftain at Level 15 which involved a 10-minute slugfest and chainchugging health pots. My new SW just killed him in under a minute with no health pots at level 10. Little bit of knowledge (and build strategy) goes a long way, eh? Link to comment

DShiznit9469 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yeah I did the same thing. HORRIBLE BUILD on my first character (sw). It also helps to have a high level character (atleast 100 or so) to go and forge all your items on niob. it really makes a difference. Link to comment
Sabretalon 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well my first char a seraphim was a real education. Got her to about level 30 before I found this site or even read the manual! Then I realised how big a mistake I was making. When I got to be able to add additional skills I never noticed I could change to different skill types, like defence or offence. So I was only choosing skills from the first page and wondered why I was not seeing items like bargaining etc... especially since I was finding equipment with +bargaining etc... Once I found that out I had a whole session of facepalming and then started another char and things went much smoother. I just wish there was an easy way to transfer your money from one char to another like there is with equipment. Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I just wish there was an easy way to transfer your money from one char to another like there is with equipment. Yea I want the same thing because some of my lower level toons need money and the higher level ones I barely use have a couple million Link to comment

Yea I want the same thing because some of my lower level toons need money and the higher level ones I barely use have a couple million I am still doing really well. I am in the Dryad land and am level 30. No boss too tough yet. I think I have almost died once but I drank a potion fast enough. LOL. I have a ton of gold too! Almost a million. I find lots of good weapons and armor and therefor seem to sell more than buy. Link to comment
MilkManX 2 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I beat the game on Bronze at level 32. I got the acheivement for not dying! Now on to Free World at Silver Difficulty and soon another character to play. (I am thinking Dark Aligned Dryad!) Link to comment
Sunfire 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 several death's with my rebuild. I'll hold out hope..... I get too Greedy.. I know ,, stop! Link to comment
MilkManX 2 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well I lost my survival bonus! Playing Free World Silver with some people on Xbox Live and during the boss run I died at the Mist boss. I hate that guy! Link to comment
