I like my characters too much to leave CO, but I'm struggling to find anything fun to do.
Lack of new content aside, this is something all MMOs run into eventually.
No game on earth has infinite replayability. New stuff can be added but the basic gist of the game in question will always remain the same.
well i already said i tired anything else but i feel bad withotu CO.. even though im bored ingame...
i love CO i just need somethign to do ingame

2.find all the 'easter eggs', I found one of the african art ones by accident.
3. find all the spots for getting off/under/over the map and make up a map for everyone else who wants to leave and stay at CO.
4.Find all the other people who are bored, form a SG and make up a Boredom song. Then get your choir together in Ren center and sing it for everyone. 1pt for every person you get to leave Millenium city and go to another map.
5. hmm.. what won't get you banned... ok I'll work on number 5.
:biggrin:

As for finding bored people in-game, all I can say is that you're probably hearing from those who are bored because those who aren't bored are busy playing. Heaven knows I rarely have time to do more than toss out a one-liner or two before I have to zone or start fighting or something.

We live in an age where a good percentage of the world's culture and knowledge is at our fingertips. We have resources at our disposal, casually, that past generations of scholars, artists, and artisans would have killed for. There are songs to be heard, vistas to be seen from around the globe and across thd cosmos, knowledge to be unlocked, problems to be solved. The words of the deepest thinkers and most skilled wordsmiths in human history. Every day, I casually communicate with people across the globe without giving it a second thought, without realizing what a miracle this would have been even a century ago.
And yet every day, I hear people say: "I'm booooored." And I honestly want to shake them until they realize what they've got.
Let me offer some advice, advice born from ten thousand mistakes, and it's not necessarily directed at the OP. Take ownership of your boredom. Don't insist that other people entertain you. Take ownership of the challenge of personal engagement. Balance your activities if you can among two or three different types of interests requiring different skills, physical, mental, and spiritual. Avoid monofixations. Live a broader, fuller life, and odds are good that you will be happier.
Good advice, i wish i havent doen so much in my life already... ive talked with cathy about it i have had so many hobbiies until i got bored of them or ran out of inspiration, thats why i joined games
make jewellery,
draw things,
paint- acrylic or oils,pictures or miniatures,
crochet (my brothers can too),
knit badly(1 of my brothers is better,
embroider,
make clothes or stuffed animals.
dye material- jacquard dye kits are easy to use cold dyes.
Ok I like making things
I have exercise bike and rowing machine in other room.
I am also currently running the storyline of Champions scenario which a friend and I are playing by email. Currently 3 storylines are tangled up in this one and I'm typing up the one to send him today, between other things.
read a large collection of books
I did try DCUO but.. meh..same old, same old
champions is still fun for me. I have trade on, so i can listen to the random chat .
the only time I really get bored is when I hit the bottom half of the manic depressive cycle (mild)and literally , don't care about anything.
here's some examples of what NOT to do to Warhammer miniatures
The water is made with spakfilla and coloured with drawing ink and acrylics.
unfortunately the support snapped and he fell in the water
ambush- the plant material including tree is all from a palm tree in the yard
rainbow doggies- they are meant to be black and red- boring
you don' t really want to see, pimp my ride or the buggy collection. they are a bit...um colourful.

Look into this if you like painting.

Thundrax. We're bored.
Come here, We're taking ownership of our boredom. We wonder how you'll fly out a cannon, maybe you can rival The Great Gonzo! :biggrin:
That's plain silly. No one rivals the Great Gonzo.
Games Workshop miniatures are terribly overpriced and not really of the best quality. Not anymore.
Freakin Electronic Arts of miniature wargaming.
Good luck!

Warhammer 40k is only really worth the fiction now (and the licensed Fantasy Flight Games RPG, so I hear) anyway....
I wish I had the extra money to paint miniatures, though. It seems like a hobby I would enjoy.
And nobody can trademark things like Roman legion, so there was more competition in prices and better range of miniatures available. Benefits of not having something like "official" manufacturers.
Plus, historical rulesets are plenty.
Its a weakness of theme park games sure, but its exacerbated by this particular game as an abandoned themepark. I mean, yeah i agree with you in that any game is going to have people burn through stuff faster than its made in a reasonable schedule of development but this game's issue is that since so little content is being produced that if this game is the only one that draws you in, you are kind of stuck. Without going out there with other hobbies, that would be stretching the bounds of the conversation. I have found other games help too, im currently enjoying dark souls 2 after beating bravely default with the "real" ending. maybe you will come back, or you will find another game to enjoy.
Our gaming club - Gamers guild- Perth has a tournament a few times a year with the other clubs and it's always fun seeing the colour schemes people come up with for their armies.
The pastel ping and green organic tank army was a bit different but they did all the add ons with greenstuff and made the whole lot match.
painting miniatures is for those with good eyesight and steady hands. I find getting a box set to be cheaper than buying single ones. I look for ones on sale. I'm still working through the last one I got 2 years ago. big box of bugs

You are a wise man.
Also, in the words of Willow Rosenberg "I have my own fun." :biggrin:
I also paint minis. No one taught me. I got some Chaos Warriors from Warhammer and painted them when I was 13. I didn't even have rulebooks or anything.
I took them back to the man who helped me pick them out. He gave me double their value in store credit to display them, and brought me in to share techniques with other guys.
Black basecoat is your friend.
Most recently I painted up some Warmachine stuff that I thought came out pretty cool:
Stupid me put the flag on the wrong shoulders, never got around to fixing that.
One of the things I enjoy most is doing conversions. My brother and I got a couple Assault on Black Reach boxes. I was not happy with the size of the Orc Warboss so I embiggened him:
The set also came with this Dreadnaught that I wanted to use as a Space Wolves character model, but I thought he looked a bit boring:
So I gave him a bigger gun, bigger claws, and a more interesting pose:
At some point I was going to give him some belt-fed ammo but I guess I forgot.
Confrontation minis, if you can find them, are hands-down the coolest fantasy minis out there.
Infinity miniatures are the best sci-fi ones you can find.
keep going

earth bugs
plant and water bugs
lava bugs
we'll leave off the metallic ones. One of which, a friend described as only being able hide in front of a stained glass window
I like using the drawing ink because since it is water based, same as the acrylics, it actually seeps through.
the gloss is just using gloss varnish mixed with paint, an oil colour method.
atelier painting medium is also useful for mixes.

Model painting...Ugggghhhhh i luv it.
If I had a decent camera I'd start posting too. Lemme find one...Tomorrow. It's 5 am. ._.
Deliciously nutritious!
Pretty much this; really wish there were other games of this genre. Times like this I wished we'd stayed Marvel-based...
I'm using a camera which came free with my cheap computer. use whatever you can get.
oh and one definately not Miniature.
This is Spot, I did him(actually her, since the model is a lioness) at hobby ceramics. airbrush plus about 8 different shades of acrylics, they had boxes of 10 skin tones and I used most of them.It took 2hrs just to do the black.
. most people just use a black glaze.

I love the Confrontation Wolfen. Got a bunch of them on clearance a while back. For general fantasy stuff though, I always prefer Reaper.
That is some serious bling in that bike. :biggrin:
Interesting, I've always seen a white basecoat recommended by professionals. Do you get better results?
For people-like minis? Yes. Look at all the little nooks and crannies. There's no way you can neatly and effectively paint in some of those spots that people won't see. You'd use shadow, right?
Well there you have it. Boom.
Not to mention, it makes colors look grittier and less 'bright'. Ideal for Warhammer and the like. Plus, it's really easy to see spots you miss when you paint skin.
For skin, use a few shades lighter skin tone.
It really depends on what you're painting, and what you'll be painting over the black. Many light colors like yellow or orange or red are semitransparent, so if you're going to be using a lot of colors like this on the miniature, it's probably best not to go black.
I use black undercoat when painting models with lots of metal armor, or if I'm painting orcs. Green is opaque, and covers over the black just fine, same as browns or greys. The benefit of the black basecoat (and I'm no pro, so this is just relative to myself, I guess) is that it makes shading easier, as you'll already have black areas between your colors.
Here's a shot of a half-finished (like most of my junk) Blood Bowl team:
They were basecoated in black. Drybrushing the brown on left some shading in the recesses. Only problem here was the shoes, but I came up with a quick and easy solution. I drybrushed them with a light grey and then white, and just painted red over it. Since the red was pretty transparent, it had no effect on the darker areas of the shoes.
Here's a shot of my Space Wolves. The obvious choice for undercoat for me was white, since I didn't want my shadows to be black (except obviously on the grey areas):
There would be almost no use for me basecoating them black since that black would have shown on the miniatures in really small spaces only, and would probably dull the other colors as well.
Like... I'm using either 20mm plastics or 15mm metals. They're small. Tiny. If they are realistically proportioned, then their hands and heads are even smaller.
It's easier to accent borders between small parts by simply leaving black coat unpainted. On the other hand, on things like bright tunics and shields, parts that are usually painted in brighter colors, I'm giving them white coat, even if rest of the miniature has a black one.
An itermediate solution is to give miniature black coat, and then drybrush it with white, or opposite - start with white coat, then ink it with black ink. Either way it ends with black coat in recesses, but white in exposed parts.
Good for speedpainting of larger bulks of troops. Using semi-transparent paints on such base gives rough shading. Doesn't look great on heroes and commanders, but if you have a lot of nearly identical models to paint, it works for regular grunts.
Black is better for shadows and cracks where you expect dark shadowing. White it better if you plan for happy looking guys. Most of the time you want to use a black base on minis though.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
Work does wonders to make you less bored with video games.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Have you gotten every Rogues Gallery Perk?
I doubt it will cure you of your boredom, but it will show you another, deeper level of boredom that will make running missions and alerts seem very exciting in comparison.
I created a new hero with the goal of completing every RGP before moving on to the next map area to do the same thing. All of the EXP boosts in the world aren't speeding things up enough to keep it from being painfully boring.
Competitive gameplay adds tons of replayability. Which is why most MMOs that last long can stand alone just with pvp. But since pvp in this game seems to be pushed on the backburner alot, with balance and other things ala reasons to even pvp in the first place like rewards gear etc have been taken away. So you run into a wall, where as, the only thing you can do in the game is pve and role play. Those 2 things have limitations. PVE stops when you've exhausted all of the pve content, and roleplay stops when you're just tired of talking to people in a game that offers way more action than storytelling. So yeah, unless cryptic can offer some kind of repeatable competitive game play everyone going to run into this wall. And its a nasty wall that usually results in people just quitting and playing other games.
Go do some work ya brat.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
You can come work with me. I can guarantee, after the first week of boredom and frustration due to wrong parts, damaged material, material shortages and having to work with people who don't know what they are doing. the game will look great
Of course, the biggest problem at work is avoiding being up on assault charges after said incompetents ask you where something is , a few minutes after you have said, literally 5 times, that there isn't any , the machine shop is waiting on a delivery.

You could also run some type of contest in the game. Costume,bio,hide n seek or make up a new contest. I run a cc each week with trivia. Plus the winner end up being in a "movie poster" doing all of that takes up a bunch of time, but I have fun doing it.
