The new expansion is fun, having 2 new classes to play around with, but then what? Lvl 20 and you get shuffled off to Arch like everyone else to complete the same quests you've already done many times.

There's just not that much to do in this game compared to other games. Every they add stuff, all I see is new stuff in the Boutique, which I don't use. How about some new features that we can spend our time on? Achievement system could be fun, or expand the crafting system to make new items.

    At level 56 the game hasn't even opened up to you yet, at around level 85ish the game is largely open although there are still some things you can't do b:surrender, anyway give the game a chance and make sure your playing a class you enjoy for starters you still have a lot to come.

    I depend on friends and factions for fun rather than on the game contents.

    If I wanted a game content that I can spend hours and hours enjoying, I'd play single player console games.

    especially when you cuss out every other veno in your leveling vicinity when you do it in OHT because they wont leave when youre on a scroll 8D.

    - Join a guild that interests you. (if your in one now, leave for some fresh new names)

    - Drop out of Sanct and join Lost City. (life's better when your getting chased by some axe weilding Baldemaster whilst trying to kill 30 rhinodrakes)

    - Set a specific but yet attainable goal that would take 3-5 days and try to complete it.

    Just endlessly grinding for exp can seem hopeless sometimes but I find that sort of creating your own "quests" can add alot. I spend some time on the database looking at some of the nifty armour and weapons that can be crafted, found the ones I want and now I work at trying to find the needed drops.. gets ya exp, spirit, coin etc etc and ya get a nice sense of accomplishment once u craft that legendary weapon or gold armour or whatever nice piece of gear you wanted. b:victory

    you kidding me right? when i was grinding like mad lvl 80-93, there was very little people who grind in OTH, and the occassion people who pop in don't bother me at all unless they have buddies. That area is big enough for two veno to grind without getting in each other way.

    also having +10% exp helps keep me happy :P btw, you are wrong, nef venos mostly aren't cs users.... which makes me feel sad. But if you really want to see cs users, go see reg :P

    in my opinion they have more cs users than us :P

    I dunno, for me hitting 60 (on my cleric way back when in 2008) opened up a lot more to do with TT runs and stuff to keep busy. TT gets boring yeah, but it gives you something to do. Running around dungeons with a group can be fun when everyone knows what they're doing. :) Sure the mindless grinding is boring I wont argue there. But it can be worth it. Looking forward to new gear at 70, 80, and 90 especially, helped for me. :) Honestly I got bored with the game after 90 lol. I dunno how anyone reaches 100+ without going mad but that might be me. I started alts to keep my interest. It's nice to have a "change of scenery" sometimes.

    And like some others said before me, having good friends in the game is worth sticking around for too of course. :)

    This, is what I did. Life is so much better when you don't know when a 7x veno is going to sick her nix on you while you're questing. Really, it's been fun. My first goal was to reach 30. Since I reached 30, I've been competing with friends to level up. So yeah, if you're really that bored LC might be the place for you b:victory.

    Run TTs, RBs, FCs and every other possible instance. That helps a bit...

    I got constantly bored after lvl90... After dinging kinda stopped to do dailies (did CS and WQ only when I was at 90%, BHs when a squad asked if I need). Logged in only for some instance runs or simply hang around with people.
    Only thing that kept me going was Secret Maps. Got to Old Unicorn Forest at lvl92 (I love that map!). When got bored from it, then got to Valley of Scared at lvl93. I was really looking forward to it, cause some foolish archer told you can earn 1.5mil per hour there. She meant exp, I though money... Heard that 4th map is nasty so I have lost motivation to try to reach it.

    So yea... 90s are boring unless you can find something fun to do. 50s was hard only cause of grinding part. 60-90 that's when most of fun happens.

    Lower TTs, like 1-x and 2-x, are fun when ppl dont know what they are doing. Makes you bit wake up and start to curse at them, cause suddenly half of party are dead for some mysterious reason... Low lvl barb decides that he is better tank and uses flesh ream on boss while herc is tanking... Clerics running as first and pulling mobs, while there are venos in squads... Yea... that's fun.

    For some reason I keep forgetting what OTH means. Also, Hiyas Evga! I finally made 78 from 77 (took a year of not really doing anything at all, but messing around and feeding a lot of XP into genies but I made it finally lol).

    Lol so true! As frustrating as it can be sometimes... it can be more exciting when everyone is in a suicidal mood lol.

    I still feel like Forgotten Frostlands is the most fun as a cleric. It's a pain in the **** to keep watch on everyone but it's a lot more fun than grinding all the time. Sadly I haven't done it much lately... Probably will if we get the 2x exp thing though. :3 I just don't wanna pay for scrolls XD

    But yeah you're right. I honestly haven't done much RB though. It's the one thing I don't know a lot about. :S

    Suicidal squad makes you appreciate skilled players. :)

    For FC I want to try 5 veno squad and 1 cleric. Got to find crazy enough ppl to actually join that :P

    RB is fun, expecially gamma. Gamma is easy, fast and fun. Have had a time when we finished run with only 5 ppl (archer got kicked out of squad). Delta, on other hand, is harder and for veno bit more intense. Cant talk about alpha and beta, as I started RB and got addicted to it only starting from gamma.

    What do I do to entertain myself when I get bored?

    I sit over by Darkbreeds. >.>

    Not sure why, but watching those little lv18-24 people running around like chickens with their heads cut off and dying repeatedly (just to come back and have the same thing happen again) gives me amusement. Even funnier when they insist on doing it alone. b:shocked

    ROFL. Why didn't I think of that? XD I really have to do that now lol...


    As for RB it sounds exciting but also expensive? Since charms are involved... and charm expense is nothing to laugh at anymore. :( I miss when they were only 400k. remember those days guys? Makes me want to cry. 400k barely pays for a bronze. XD

    But anyway... I usually use event pots when I do FF runs or anything like that but something where I'd be taking hits a lot, I'd probably need a HP charm. For something like RB, I assume? Hmm I need to research this. Far as i know clerics just stand there and BB the whole time lol. Well from what I've been told.

    I've always found the bounty hunters fun. I'm sure that'll change once i start getting bh69 (already hate getting pyro), but for now, they're fun. also, i'm another of those people that gets all zen on grinding. i put some tunes on, make sure my macros are set up, and go to town. also aoe grinding with my cleric is fun. not quite so mindless, but even more enjoyable. there's just something about watching 20 mobs drop at the same time that's incredibly satisfying.

    you could offer help, as you obviously were so skilled on your first char that didn't die.

    besides venos can solo them as soon as they get magmite.

    - I watch WC drama. "Much Ado About Nothing" comes to mind...
    - Nuts enough to run 2 computers at the same time. Clears my BHs and a good part of my faction's at the same time.
    - And general faction activities. Always fun to chill with these folks, lol. In fact it's something that can have me idle somewhere in the world for a long while.
    - WQ and roam forums or play other games at the same time. (I've taken a break from in-game ATM, but I'm still at computer... therefore forums it is!)
    - Reroll alts... though I've been keeping them lately.

    It's because every aspect of this game is unrewarding and a waste of time/coin drainage, since the achievements in this game are worthless because their rather unreachable without CS'ing. And even the people who spend thousands or more into this game to buy enough rep to get rank 8 gear will get bored with time...this is a chinese farmer game so to reach some of the achievements in-game like leveling crafting to 8 or whatnot would take obscene amounts of time, coin and luck and is it worth it you think hm?

    Speaking of "Fun" personally when I reached lv 20 and got sent to Archo the game got instantly boring because without a mount it took hours to go anywhere and eventually the quests are replaced with dailies wich isn't to different from grinding because it's the same repetitive actions day after day and since I know exactly what to expect in CS,WQ,BH,Cube and everything it became meaningless to even do it.

    People told me since I hated doing dailies I should just stop doing them then but I realized there's nothing to really do here if not to keep progressing.
    I am a Demon Axe/Fist BM and proud of it. b:victory
