Confused and maybe getting on a bit..

[PsychoNuke]

I am kinda off this game too nowadays, the poor planing of the expansion in terms of content difficulty, gear progression and worst of all no transparency and communication between devs and players like they had at the start of the year kinda ticked me off. Its sad to see that things going south mid year with the biggest expansion ever.
I dont blame devs entirely, the forum is full of immature idiots who dont know how to put feedback properly, every thread is full of rants and fights instead of helpful criticism.

So, yeah I guess I am kinda tired of forums, and may be the devs are tired too... Anyone notice that Vroom and Lojak been off from almost a month now? I just hope they are on vacation. May be I ll take a break from all this too...

Keep your items and take a break. Come back when you feel to but don't force yourself to log. Like most of the people (including me) did.

Is anyone else feeling this way? I'm asking for advice actually. I'm not sure I want to play much lately and if I did decide it was time to take my leave, how do I share my Alorian Worldly goods? Or...do I just take a holiday (vacation in American language)? I don't understand why we have so many sets and please don't even mention the Spirit stuff, I can't get my head around that. Everything seems so expensive and now even high levels are asking me for loans because they gambled theirs at Spendalot's place. I just feel terrible when I log in whereas before I used to feel excited and relaxed in the knowledge I was in for some 'me' time, away from real life worries. What with trying to understand what all the elixirs do and trying to craft with minimal slots (I shouldn't have to use other characters) I'm what my title says, in other words, over the hill. I'm off to get some antacid tablets.

Hi Susanne, I don’t think you’re alone in your thoughts...I felt the same a number of times during my Al life...I took a break last year for a few months it wasn’t just about the game tho it was how I was feeling in general and whereas before Al was working for me at that time it wasn’t and I felt rather frustrated. I returned a couple of times to see how things were but things felt different and I just soloed mainly a few events to try and settle back in. A close friend told me when ppl ‘quit’ then return they rarely stay long , whilst true in some cases not always the case, but knowing this helped me stick with it under my terms. I would say I got more into it just before the expansion and have enjoyed it ever since. Yes I know all these sets are ridiculous but I’ve farmed for mire and haven’t tried for spirit...I know my limits and running same map endlessly to level a spirit weapon atm for me isn’t gonna work! That said I’m not ruling it out but there are plenty other things to do at the moment. To be fair STS add things to game and have given us choices here...we don’t need to have all sets and we can choose where we want to focus our energies , events are literally non stop atm and dare I say it I’ve had a lot of fun so far! This is just my thoughts but I’m a party player at heart and as long as friends old and new are running I’ll continue to log on!

Hi all and thanks for the kind posts and advice. Much appreciated. I just want to clear one point up, I wasn't criticising any of my friends, I scrolled back and it did look that way. I'm very lucky to have made such nice in-game friends actually. ☺️. I just had a 'moment' and it's probably best if I don't play every single day and also not take everything so seriously. My phone is not indispensable anymore and I can now go out without it and I don't put it under my pillow at bed time. 🛌 Once again, thankyou. 😘

I always need a break after an event, especially one I played hard on.

It also takes me a bit to get used to new content, after the initial exploration stage.

I never force myself. A game is supposed to be fun. If it feels tedious, I take a break. Besides, sometimes RL stuff accumulates and is more pressing. Anyways, nothing wrong with breaks. I have taken them in every game, from a few days to a few years.

This is just how I feel at the moment. No disrespect to anyone who loves playing all the time, it's whatever floats your boat. Like you said, real life issues crop up too... especially for me lately. I've decided to carry on playing but on a lower and different character..my mage. I would have liked a girly faced mage though, been asking long enough but nobody answered me. I mean..how come during St. Paddy's event the mage gets hair and a moustache..hmmm? All I ever asked for all these years was a girly face for a mage. The body can stay the same. Over and over I asked, what did I get? A creepy looking mask with pigtails. 😢. It doesn't stay on in the tub! Anyway, I'll go on Susie to say hi, I did go on it yesterday but not many people were online in my list and practice playing a mage in the meantime. I can always jump on my lower level rogue for nostalgic purposes and also when I'm tired of seeing my mage die (I don't know how to play properly on a mage). Actually, I need help with how to build my mage up and how far away from enemies does it need to be? I don't even know what weapon to use. Someone did tell me the skills but that was ages ago and I think it's changed. Oops, been rambling on again, bet you fell asleep by now. Bye and thankyou. 👧..girly mage face would be nice see.
