give me motivation to keep playing

I felt the same way after 1.5 year. It's time to move on.b:chuckle

I play another mmo now, although I do log in when my wife feels like playing this.b:pleased

Waffle, you should be happy now. You can use your time on more productive, healthy and fun activities xD. Drinking, traveling, women, sport etc. There is life outside.

rol lanother account..rinse and repeat.like roll a barb its more useful lol than an archerb:chuckle

When things get boring, push your limits.

Soloing bhs?
Tankin TT bosses?
Exploring lunar?
PK?

These are things I do when the regular old things I do (TT,normal bh, TT, fbs, FC, and more TT) just get old. I push my limits and see what I can & cannot do... then I try again & see if I get better. See different ways to maximize squad dmg. Merchanting to get my gear w/ as little outside $ as possible. Feeling excited after making a really good sale/getting a gold mat drop in TT/one-shotting 3 ppl @ once in pk

Makin new friends, chatting about things that interest you both.
Switching to my other characters to get a different gameplay feel now & then.
RB gamma/delta.

Push your limits, keep things challenging. If things seem boring, its not hard enough.

I know how u feel Waffle,same is with me i took a brake for like 2 weeks to see if something will drive me back to playing it didn't help much.

This a game on death roll,PWI as we knew it is gone,economy is ruined,player interaction dead,everyone now has several high lvl alts,so rly not much time to stop and enjoy the game.

Im also sad cuz i invested so much time in this game and now if i log in i feel almost instantly bored and if i dont i feel empty.

Meh there u go my Q.Q time over b:bye

To OP:
if you come to the point where you're asking yourself why you play this game, better quit and start another. Battle of Immortals is quite addictive you know? different feel, much better mechanics and a fair reward system. Try it, you might like it.

I'm still having fun in this game. Maybe because (since I got my new laptop) I can play a lvl 99 cleric beside my wizard. Changing classes can be interesting, at least for a while.
This morning I learned the hard way that I can tank Abaddon on the wiz, without a BB. My charm is still crying but we got it done, with a lvl 93 cleric at his first trip to Abaddon. 2 BMs, 2 wizards, archer, cleric. Second wiz helped cleric heal me, but hey , we pulled it off. Fun run.

Well if you have all your 99 gear I would say your motivation would be to get to 99 to use such gear....and have fun doing it...anyway you want...

You liked Battle of Immortals? Does it get more coherent after the first 20 levels cause I found it a frenetic mess for the time I tried it. The "suggestions" of cash shop items I should be using as a portion of my inventory bag also really drove home what I don't like about the publisher.

Waffles, all I can give you is that there does not currently seem to be anything better to do. Like you, I got tired of grinding pointlessly toward 100. Repeating everything with alt characters lost its charm when they got high enough to start having the same gear cost, revenue, and time sink issues. But, after looking around for a week or so for something better, I have to say I have not found it yet. By the way, if you do find something better to do, PM me with it please.

BOI looks dated.b:chuckle

Age of empires, Age of mythology, ect. At least in those games you had hills, valleys, ect but in BOI everything is flat land, man it looks like back in time.

I log in to have fun with the people I met in the game and grew to be very fond of. That's been my motivation all along.

Think about why you played until now, what it was about the game that was drawing you to it (the friends, getting the levels, getting the PKs, winning TWs or forum crawling) - if you can't do those things anymore or find no enjoyment out of them... perhaps there is no need to play anymore.

Join a TW fac, like Enely or something. Archer costs in TW is relatively low...provided that you farm for your own attack charms and drugs. and for FFS...get a Heaven Shatterer.

At this point in the game TW is only thing that keeps me going really and is my only real source of enjoyment apart from partaking in or listening to amusing chat. lvling after 100 doesn't have its merits unless you want to be "famous high lvl" or something. I do an occasional wq and bh once in a long while. Nirvana run here and there and catshop on alts that's about it.

Why continue to play? Hmmm.....

Well, I quit, tried out other games, found out they all sucked, and now I log in to do dailies. I usually just do WQ while I do other things on the computer. I am also trying to learn how to merchant, but it appears like everyone is trying that now on Sanctuary. When Battle Pet Packs were on sale, many cat shops were selling sof's and pf's. Now Dragon Orb Packs are out, and many cat shops are selling them. It's kind of hard to learn how to merchant properly when so many are trying it themselves and are selling their stuff much cheaper than I would have to just to break even. I also would like to believe that once I get to level 89, I can start farming for skill books and pet skill books and make some money off of them.

I guess in order to keep playing this game, you have to no longer care how badly PWE is **** us over. I swore never to buy zen again, and I never will unless PWI makes a drastic change for the better. I also encourage others to follow my lead. This way I can still continue to play and not contribute to PWE's profits, which makes me feel better about the situation.

Many view PWE as 'evil'. I suggest we do whatever we can to fight it. I am reminded of a quote:

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

(((hugs)))

i know how you feel. im not as high a level as you, but im guildless (i seem to have a talent for finding ones that die about two months after joining), and i guess im kind of shy ingame-its hard for me to just run up to the BH platform and yell to join a squad, or ask friends to do something as boring as grinding with me. so i wind up playing alone 99% of the time. my cleric is, of course, immensely popular, but i cant afford to run her now, with so many people going into instances without enough pots, etc, so its either the old 'save myself, the hell with you' scenario, or share, to keep us alive, but not make enough from the run to pay for what i shared.

i've used this game to help me feel better for a long time (since nearly the beginning of open beta), but like you, its gotten to where its not the same. i havent been able to sign onto any of my games here for several weeks, due to PC problems, but i think, when i get it back from repairs, and reinstall, im going to just play, not looking ahead, but 'Carpe diem''. i do have goals, but they seem so far away as to be impossible (like to get to 84 so i can play with my polar bear pet). so i have to make shorter term goals, and i switch around to different alts.

another thing to try is to turn off the music, and play your own music. or try making PWI videos.....that is a LOT of fun! mine are more slideshows, but its so much fun to choose the music, then fly everywhere to take just the right screenshots to put together with the music.


i hope you find your fun again....i know how you feel.

i havent logged in in probably a week... maybe 9 days? is there really any incentive to keep playing? i lost my nostalgic spark, and really have no motivation to get my last 50% to 96. i have no way to make catshopping my life either for money making, grinding yields nothing, nor do i want to put my leveling on stand still for crappy farming purposes, where's the balance here?

i have all my demon/sage skills, and my 99 gear farmed... i cant afford irl to buy PK utilities from the CS.... what is there to do besides slunking through FB79, and killing spiders? b:shutup

please, for the love of god, give me some incentive to log in when i get my real internet hooked up , i dont want to ditch my once favorite MMO for battle of the immortals or a number of other games i cant mention here.

what gives you that spark to keep going? what makes you want to still play? what is one good reason why i should get 4 last levels...?
b:sad ....or even log into the forums anymore

Unless you have someone important to stay for and have a promise you can't break, you might as well leave.
