The year is coming to an end and Spotify, YouTube, Discord and every single thing tracking your personal life is handing out the wrap ups for the year so I figured why not since today I will hit my goal for the year which I set at 250HP and 350k skills.

I came back to EU around February I believe and started pew pewing by myself. Not many names on my friend list that I remembered and Apocalypse had dissolved some time during my hiatus, which I believe was somewhere between 7 and 10 years. @Spawn (Friend from the before times) noticed I was online and started to chat and eventually invited me to The Ministry and obviously I couldn't say no to an opportunity to surround myself with MA employees and @osga who historically has appeared in my biggest HoF and ATH screen shots.

Year has been spent mostly all over the place since my mind works in mysterious ways so I both started and abandoned a bunch of projects in game. I constantly need to have some arbitrary goal to aim for to pull me in some direction. At the moment with the skill and HP goal completed next one would be KS, max BP70 and bring my remaining few combat professions above 50.

Unfortunately I don't recall where I started this year, when I last quit I had chipped out a lot of skills. If memory serves me right I was around 50 in laser sniper at the beginning of the year (closing in on 81) and somewhere slightly north of 200k skills and around 160-170HP or so.

While PCF is mostly dead, the discord is very much alive and thanks to it I have been able to get to know quite a few new players throughout the year and been able to go on a bunch of hunts I wouldn't otherwise. Special shout-out to @Raine , @bicckuni and Lolly who all support me in all my stupid decisions. Thanks to everyone in there for helping me out and entertaining me when I am bored.

For the coming year I will have my goals set to reaching 300HP, 450k skills, all combat professions except mining to 70 minimum which seems reasonable. I have found a comfortable level to play at and will most likely be sticking to it for a while.

I was supposed to make a video with recordings of my nicest loots playing "Skeptical Sunshine" by Supapres in the background but haven't gotten around to it, so here is just a top ten of my most fun loots this year.

1. 24,184 Verderon Hardened

2. UL C-80

3. Beach house!

4. 800PED ESI (Fiveway split)

5. Personal manufacturing terminal!
(Can't find thread, will upload later)

6. 5,618PED Longtooth Guardian
(Can't find thread, will upload later)

7. 4,237 P20 Extender

8. 3x 2.4k-2.5k L2 Light amps (These aren't that fun though)

9. 2304 PED Root

10. 2201 PED Root

HM: Baby feffoid double hof in less than 2.5h at 1,871 and 1,144.

For the coming year I am gunning for finally getting a real multi on the damn ROOTs.

Happy hoffing everyone!
 
Love reading people’s stories!

However it does make me realise how unlucky my avatar is compared to everyone else 😥

I have been really lucky, especially with the rare loots. Unfortunately, I have also been incredibly stupid with the PED I got from them so most of it is back on MAs bank account, but it has been somewhat fun and I learned quite a bit about how the game works through the year. Hopefully I will be able to make better decisions in the future.
