@linkblade: interesting name for this "disease". It's exactly what i'm feeling and even though i get sucked into a game for a night/day, the next night i'm sick of playing anything again. That's the main reason i never really finished Grim Dawn even though i've tried several times (and characters lol).
In my case it's probably the many years playing WoW taking a toll now...
Manor lords, headquarters ww 2, Against the storm, We are football 2024.
Starting to get into a "burnout" again even though i'm not playing much. I have no F idea how to stop feeling like this and actually start playing games. It's very hard to even open any game most of the time and i'm sick of it :(
From 2012, total spent = 860$ and oldSpend = 63$. Also, at most 300$ in keys from other websites.
Pretty light because i like to wait before buying the next "incredible bla bla bla" that's going to become the "best X type of game in the world". Also, not buying Paradox and similar games helps a lot. I'd rather test them by other means due to their predatory DLC tactics and barebone main games.
Interesting article! Glad i found it and read it. I can only say that i fully agree having quit HS several years ago for the same reasons, more or less.
The company is not worth it anymore. Only cash grabing gigs without proper direction (look at diablo mobile, sc2, etc).
I'd much rather pay for single player games i can play endlessly than enter a stupidity loop similar to what gambling is.
Here comes We are football 2024, Order of battle, Headquarters ww2, manor lords, against the storm etc!
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of playing this, but the blunders/oversights are quite important to me. Unopened loot getting screwed upon leaving an area and monsters respawning? No thanks. Give us infinite inventory then, until these issues get fixed! I'm playing an arpg for the loot and maybe a bit for the story => huge frustration with issues related to this.
I've started (and ended, lol) playing Avorion with a semi-overhaul mod pack (XAvorion). Stopped because one of the mods cannot be reverted thus basically forcing a new game (and i need a break for now). Definitely coming back to it soon.
Also started a few games of Millenia. Looks interesting but it's barebones and some things are off. Not gonna entertain the Paradox money making scheme either (20$ game + 500$ dlcs). The game needs much more to even consider buying it. At least some of the concepts are different and interesting, yet really fit for meta-game play (which i deeply hate).
I've already made a thread about this, but here goes:
- go to the Community tab on the main page, then click on any page number down below (e.g. 4)
Expected: the realms/threads of that page number are loaded and visible directly.
Actual result: we are back on the main page of the site, with the News tab active. Switching the Community one does indeed show the correct threads from the initially selected page number.
It seems that clicking on pages 2,3,... of the community tab reloads the main page but with the news tab active. When clicking on community again, the correct page is loaded
When clicking the "view all realms" button, a 0 shows up underneath each of them. Shouldn't it count the number of posts about it, or something similar? Also, it'd be nice to have a checkbox to filter out realms with zero posts so they don't clutter the list.
Hi. Just realized i never told you my gripe with the website :D
After going into a community thread and pressing the "back" button on my phone, the main page defaults to the "news" section/tab instead of opening up the Community section/tab, where i navigated from.
Not sure you can do something about it, but putting it out there :)
Other than that, the new looks needs a bit of getting used to, but it's a clear improvement for organizing stuff over the previous design. Nice going!
First one - seems to be related to rockets and such. As a WOW area i'd say Tanaris, Stonetalon Mountains or that gnome city area in Northrend (K3 - storm peaks?).
Second one - seems to be related to pirates and sea shells, so i'd wager on the east coast of Tanaris.
Third one - looks like something from Moonglade, or something from another WoW expansion that i never played. Yet, it may be related to lunar stuff (druids, lunar festival). Not really seeing the space theme tbh.
I understand what you're saying. For me it's just sad that they saw themselves with a lot of money from this system and didn't care about redesigning it, and making all cards relevant. Like getting all of them in a balanced state and focusing on diversity. They keep chugging out cards, a lot of them useless, just to dilute the pool and thus gain more money.
I guess what i'm saying is that the focus is not on quality and efficiency and strategic thinking. But this is the game now and it's clearly not for me anymore.
The biggest issue still remains - the amount of money and time you need to invest to catch up (and play only until the next set arrives). That's the cow milking that i hate.
Try the Occultist with it. I think that's my latest character too lmao

For whatever reason i cannot quote your comment...
You could try Grim Dawn as it is much cheaper (and better as a game in my opinion).

Is there a way to create realms for missing games, by us?
For example, i'd be interested in the game Avorion and a few others. Millenia is coming up too.
Also, how about adding a button to the right side of each realm name so we can join faster (without having to actually open its page)?

Avorion. Best game out there of its kind, especially with a few mods.

The team wasn't able to deliver what is needed, so they are making it smaller? Shouldn't they hire people instead?! Wtf

Thanks for the heads-up. Just got it ☺
