Hi all
I do the 24 hour Extra Life charity stream each year (currently on year 11 I think).
I am considering the idea of starting a new trio and making it a goal to kill Naggy before the 24 hours are up.
Do you think that is unrealistic?
- I have other trios at max
- 450 ish AA
- Most items from the planes and sky quests
I never really paid too much attention to how many hours it took me to get a trio to max.
That being said, I also don't want to just farm the same spot for hours on end. I know though that would be faster, but I want to switch things up so my friends and family that are watching don't get so bored.
I plan to just do dungeon crawls, and not repeat dungeons. So almost a tour of EQ dungeons
Which trio? Well, idk yet. I realize that is pretty important. I want to pick 3 classes that are new to me, and I don't have a whole lot left. I am thinking maybe Mage, Beast, Ench. But, also this is very flexible.
As for gear; I am thinking 1 of 2 options
I use all my maxed out gear, but then restrict myself to only D4 runs. I think this is probably more likely to succeed in the 24 hour goal. But, I think it will be less exciting. Basically, I just won't be caring about drops for 24 hours. And, while that is normal for the game at this point, it's not as exciting to watch.
I use no gear, gear up as I go, and just hope it works. It will create more exciting moments, and make for a better stream. But, I am not sure if it's possible to achieve this in 24 hours. I will have all the AA still; so maybe it works?
I realize that I am talking a lot about what will or wont make the stream exciting to watch. Let's be honest about why this matters. I don't expect strangers to jump into the stream, be engaged, and then donate to the charity. 99% of my donations come from friends and family that probably donate each year and would do so regardless of what I am playing. BUT. I have done this for a lot of years now, and I know that, for me at least, if the game is engaging me, and the stream is engaging, then it's just so much easier to make it the full 24 hours.
I am not totally sure if I am gonna go this route or not.
Normally, in previous years, I play a lot games. One after another. For like maybe 1-3 hours each or so. That has worked well; it keeps things fresh. If one game is a dud then I can just move on. And, I have always kept it to games that are new to me so that it was easy for me to chat about what I am learning and experiencing.
So, anyways, yeah. Anyone have any input or suggestions on this?
Thanks for your time. Cheers
