I have run out of things to do

drkbodhi · July 2015

Lately, when I have been able to play... I have almost nothing fun to do.

Very few of my guildies are on at the same time.
The inconsistent lag has disrupted my game play and enjoyment.
PvP, currently, is an abuse-fest.
The daily content, other than the dragons is the same HAMSTER different day.
The Events/Festivals feel just as 'grindy' as EE is...
Tiamat is undoable due to lag.
Heralds are enjoyable, but they stop being fun.

During the NCL, I enjoyed the unexpected. But now even GG feels like a PvP guild farm-fest.

I could join in on the Legit channel runs through DDs, which I enjoy.

I have spent the last 2 days on the preview server, but with little to do there I get bored.

Does this mean that I am done with all of the campaigns?

No.

Could I jump on one of my alts and grind some content?

Yes.

Which is what I may end up doing. I also love helping other players...

What is there to do there?

Maybe you need a new perspective?
I partially stopped to play "optimal". It drained the fun out of the game for me.
I started to looking for nice amors to give my character a different look. Or is tossed my cat away and traded it in for a yeti with BIS gear (It is really cheap to equipp companions if they doesn't need the damn avenger ring)

I still do Sharandar to get some RP for enchantments. Or Dread Ring to get RP for my Artifacts. I occasionally try to increase my collection points.

I simply stopped myself from doing unfun stuff for me and spend small amount of AD for Stuff i like even if it slows my character progression down. I play 1-2 times Kessell even if i get additional AD for 3 times or run a dungeon without key because i like to run some dungeons.

@karakla1

I think I will start doing that... again. That is what I was doing before the NCL kicked in. I have a thing for collecting titles... like a fetish of sorts.

karakla1 · July 2015

Another tging that helped me during Mod5 as it get boring was to get my cleric at 70 and doing dailies. Not because it was necessary but the class is really fun to play.

silverkelt · July 2015

oh sheesh..

anyways, Ive been getting some lower level alts to 30 and 60.. to open up leadership slots. I still partcipate in some pvp and will do a odd dd or two.

There is nothing that is all that rewarding per se.. I ran over 150 elols this mod and I never one the effing artifact, so just tired of doing it.

You could I suppose do the t2 stuff, but frankly I decided at the start of this mod, that running these things non stop and the pain to get a good group together to do them, wasnt for me, so I concentrated on pvp for the most part this mod.

lirithiel · July 2015

The game is so NOT FUN at the moment that I am farming Black Ice to upgrade my pvp armor - something I never ever planned to do. The lack of dungeons makes doing that dead boring. The lack of new content makes questing dead boring. Since NCL pre-season ended pvp is back to the same old BS. With the revelation of new gear in Mod 7 there isn't even any point in transmuting my current gear because I will lose either the look or the RP and a fecktonne of wasted ADs.

I am doing Gateway on my downtime... hoping for more epic item drops for companions.

I have a 43 HR... and a 26 GWF that bores me to play.
I don't like running things with people other than my guild, which is a problem. I guess I need to expand my horizons a bit.

@lirithiel
You sound like you are in the same position that I find myself in. I would farm BI, but as of yesterday I have almost 60k unrefined BI and 25k refined.

I have been working my HAMSTER off getting my toons to have level 25 Leadership and other professions. My main still has 9 more levels to go.

karakla1 · July 2015

Even with an incomplete character you can generate at rank 16 leadership 10k AD per day without much trouble.

drkbodhi · July 2015

I generate that much easily on my main.

karakla1 · July 2015

Oh sorry i mean per additional character. For example: i have 7 twinks. I only need to login three times a day per character to generate 10k per character. So i get 70K per day + 24k of my main means i get around 94k per day. And my twinks only have leadership on around rank 16 to 18. So you can earn more if they progress further in their leadership rank.

drkbodhi · July 2015

That will take a while on my other toons... both of my other 70's are under-geared and were run through the ringer of Double XP Weekends. Both of them have rather low Leadership skills. The others have even lower... bugt I have been working on them as well.

My GF, I plan to use for PvP mainly and PvE as secondary.
My CW... I will use like my TR... a bit of both.

silverkelt · July 2015

Here is the issue as I see it.. they added so much grind, its no longer really enjoyable to play it.

I have no desire to run T2s on 3-4 toons..
I have no desire to run IWD for just peridots.
With ncl gone (atm) pvp rewards are down to gearing up alts or getting mains some more crystal ravens and now that queue times are back to normal.. its painful to wait 15-20 mins for a match.

They need to reduce grind, but all they do is increase it.

Rewards vs playing time seem a little harsh since mod 6..

This has been the curious case since Mod 3 gave us the hellish grind that was IWD. All content that followed has given us very little reward for effort put in. It's just so much worse in Mod 6 which gives almost no rewards whatsoever.

drkbodhi · July 2015

That is my plan... I may sit on my main until there is more to do and run through Shar/DR/WoD/IWD with my little ones.

thefabricant · July 2015

I have been taking a break from NWO and waiting for mod 7. It works and it prevents you from burning out entirely. If you need another game to try, you can try out some solo games or some other online games.

silverkelt · July 2015

i cant play more then one mmo at once.. I know if I found one that I really liked NW would be done for me.

I only have so much time...

Same here. Humans may not be a fully monogamous animal, but for an MMOs... I stay close to home.

I know the feeling, I'm not playing right now because most of what I came to NW for is gone. I'm just watching and waiting to see if what's coming up is serviceable enough to go back to playing.

drkbodhi · July 2015

I may look into creating some Foundry work. One of my guildies has chosen to step away from the game, except for Profs, and focus on making some Foundry content.

lirithiel · July 2015

I could and really should try my hand at Foundry, but the fact that Cryptic continue to overlook this gem makes me not want to touch it.

I'm the same when it comes to gaming. I can only play one game at a time and then I generally play the HAMSTER out of the game. If there was something similar on offer to NW out there I'd have turfed this game in a heartbeat but alas there isn't to my knowledge so here I am...

urlord283 · July 2015

I run a lot of the "Ring", IWD, Shandar... the dailies...

They are repetitive but No game can do much more in being unique

That said it would be nice if the Foundry offered better rewards

Urlord

thefabricant · July 2015

I spend my time running around in Path of Exile when not in NWO...it has challenging content, much more challenging then NWO has ever had, but it definitely is not for me what NWO was like back in mod 0-2

drkbodhi · July 2015

Path of Exile?

helpimblindinrl · July 2015

Its a diablo like f2p. I liked the music in it but I hate the diablo style.

drkbodhi · July 2015

Yeah... I got sick of Diablo... after the 2nd one came out. I have a friend who plays Dragon Age... I may look there. If I think of leaving.

j0shi82 · July 2015

Go farm seals for Mod 7, iirc you still need them. I normally start building ALTs, but that's not as easy or fun these days too.

I have run out of things to do
