The Call of Exile...

Can I do it?

Can I wrench myself away from My Time At Portia for one measly weekend to throw a bunch of Path of Exile characters into the meat grinder?

Will one of those characters escape their fate of becoming minced meat and remain whole, intact, and possibly victorious?

More importantly, will my newly-activated NBN stop dropping out and actually let me compete?

And could it please not disconnect while I'm in the middle of a fight?

If it's going to disconnect me, could it please do it in town? And only last a minute or so?

 
(While trying to write this post it disconnected me for 20 minutes, and then another 40 minutes just as I hit the Publish button. Not happy, Jan.)

I would like to say that the answer to those questions is a resounding YES! ... but only time can tell.

My Time At Portia is awfully addictive, but I'm certain I can pull myself away from it's lure.

However...

...there are no guarantees about my internet, the possibility of me throwing the NBN connection device out the window, and most certainly no guarantees about me having a living character by the end of this. 😁

Since the last #poecomp, I managed to finally get a character to rescue the Scion and thus allow me to select Solo Self Found this round!

Hooray!

This time I no longer have a child with a broken arm who requires my tender nursing care, but I have a partner who is getting over severe bronchitis, school holidays start this weekend, and I have a kitten who likes to gnaw on my mouse-hand.

And this time... just like last time... I haven't practiced one teensy iota, will likely die in the first hour, and will likely cry myself soggy and fall asleep in a puddle of salty tears.

Informative Information!

⭐ Account URL: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Kaelci
⭐ I want to keep a Ranger living til the end! But I still like witches. Fiery witches who explode corpses. Splat.
⭐ Planning on trying a couple of characters this time 'round.
⭐ We'll see how I go, and if anycharacter manages to live, or if everycharacter dies.
⭐ I intend to have copious caffeine on supply so I don't pass out at 10pm and waste half the competition.
⭐ I still have no idea what I'm really doing, but it's fun.
⭐ Did I mention CAFFEEEEEINE?

 

This is my intent to enter post for #poecomp hosted by @mattclarke

Great entry; fantastic to have you onboard. If the NBN cuts out completely you'll be fine; its when it gets real laggy that you wake up dead.
Our microwave knocks out our wi fi so I've developed a sensitivity to hearing the door opening and the clank of crockery touching the glass carousel. I know I have about 3 seconds to get to safety.

It just cut out for another 40mins! I'm dying over here, haha. Really hoping it's stable on game day. 😊🙂

Oh no! Interfering microwave! I think I might need to keep an eye on all of these sneaky machines now to make sure none of these things are the culprits to this sudden madness. 😬

I've yet to play My Time At Portia. Quite a few seem to be enjoying it.

I wish you lots of fun. May the meat grinder feast on all of us!

It was part of this month's Humble Bundle subscriber games! 😀 I am looooving it. Have been playing it for 5 or 6 days straight, maybe 7, who knows, losing track of time. LOL. 😆

Wishing you lots of fun also!!!!

Cheers - I'm expecting a lot of deaths because of my connection. Might as well drink, be merry, and make fun of the situation. xD
