PE/MA/EU Blues

[Hally]

I find myself having the blues about this universe, im not gonna quit, im not gonna scold it , im just not playing much.

Im greatly antispating the cryengine2 update and i feel the universe has much to offer, in the future, but then why aint i having more fun ?

Dont think thers one good reason, i have withdrawn some money for RL reasons, and i do have less time, but what gametime i do have i tend to play other games

So whats up ? Maybe its because thers less new content ? Maybe its gotten to expensive ? One thing is for sure, i dont blame loot, i dont blame MA, im sure it must be at my part ?

Food for thoughts ?

You are not alone in your feelings.

I have to concur with each of your points (except withdrawing money).

I'm with you here, everytime I play I keep asking myself the same question all over again and again.

Some days suck (like today) but thats usually cos i cant afford what i wanna do. When I can afford it, and lose, it still doesnt suck because for me, this game is about FUN. Its impossible to always be fun, but when its not, you log off. Easier said than done i know.

Familiarity breeds contempt?

Lets hope Crytopia will take our breath away. ;p
(And not just graphic wise)

We are all in the same boat. We can leave it, but we have always to return to it, as there is only water around it. >_<

fun in eu is dynamic, just like IRL some things I love one day I hate the next for no real reason - some days I simply love killing segs all day the next day nothing interests me , come cry2 I'll just go exploring again lol

I run round in crysis marveling at the scenery so Id imagine the same will happen in eu

I have similar feelings occasionly, even thou' I do log in a lot.
What I get most bored of, are all the endless grinding, without any
direct rewards. But at the same time, I like the basic idea of EUs
skillsystem. Even thou', IMO, they made some mistakes when it
comes to details...
I'll never be Grand Master Laser Sniper, more Grind Master Laser Sniper.

So, how to do something about it?
IMO, pvp-system needs to be updated (which it probably will in near future)
both when it comes to calculate points, and different types of pvp-battles.
The most importent thing, it must be FUN for the masses, not for
4-5 with best gear. Reduce what can be viewed on radar is one step here.
Most people will probably still be gunned down, but it will at least make it
more possible to get others down, with right tactics, even for noobs.

Most players, and MA too, don't want EU to become a MMOG with controlled
quests. But there should be tasks that are similar to quests.
I want all ingame companies like Omegaton, Chikara and so on, to have
officies where players can sign a contract for different tasks.
We chose level of difficulty of the task, and after that we have to loot
x amount of different mobs(or mine or craft, or even comb of all three),
where we get unique things in loot, fitting the task, and items can't be
traded or sold, other than to company we sign up to. Reward could be
unique items (that of course can be sold) when task is finished.

Time to do something different. Learn a new skill or something.

If ever I am getting restless, I take on a new disciple. When you get a really enthusiastic disciple, they are so energetic and excited by EU that it rubs off. It costs nothing to help them with TP runs or teaching the game.

I know exactly what you are saying, I imagine everyone is affected the same way sometimes.

Lately I have been skilling my Mindforce more, not because it is eco, but because it's different. Maybe jump around looking at LA's to check some new ones out, visit CP or CND etc etc.
