I'm bored.

Truth is, you can't have everything. Welcome to reality.

Try playing a non-conventional Necro build. (seeing your prior builds, Amazing things could come.)

Play hero battles. Boring, but fun.

Uninstall is the only option. There is nothing else to do. I pop on here occasionally when I'm waiting for Football Manager to load.

GW is dead for me. It is the same for you, you just need to admit it to yourself.

i'm bored as well, i was waiting for some sort of improvements for my fav mesmer (she used to be my main char) after so many nerfs, but we didnt get any pve-only mesmers skills or w/e in HM, and i'm not into getting titles just for the sake of showing off... the only thing that left is DoA, but every team in DoA asks for the holy trinity - i dont like playing war, so my choices are limited to ele or monk... the only necro build i can run there is bip, i'm so happy when i get to run ss, its ridiculous

on the bright side i'm glad i got my monk and ele and even poor badly nerfed necro to play - some ppl are playing rangers, rit or asn most of the time, theres no room for them in DoA, how they manage not to die of boredom playing pve is beyong my understanding....

is there any news about Diablo III?

Not yet, but Diablo II still kicks ass!

There was some info on Starcraft 2, though.

If your bored..then simply do other stuff.

I'm 15 right now and playing basketball on my HS varsity team, taking piano, studying for SAT's..simply you have to put in perspective that GW is a game, not a way of life.

Do not expect revolutionizing miracles from Anet, they don't owe you anything.

Every game gets boring at some point. Don't delude yourself into thinking that WoW won't get boring. They all have life spans. You just go to the next one.

One Thing I wish they had was more armor & items. I love variety.


Heck yeah! I might take you up on that sometime

Honestly just today i REinstalled Diablo 2 and started up an Orb MFing sorc.
GW PvE is boring and always has been. WHy? Its alot less my charactor and more of my char and +7 hencies. I dont even have to do anythign if i dont want. I jsut abuse the AI and roll though HM I didd a Couple of areas in the jade sea for fun with trappers + me as spirit spammer. GW PvP is fun but I can't GvG on weekdays yet because school > everythign else in priorities.
And well, RA has its charms but there's only so much entertainment to be gained from it.

OT is always Off-Topic

*kiddie View* DATING EWWW...Girls are Icky!
my view: ^ and Evil.

Pokemon is the universal solution for boredom, that and ye know...running away from the law.


GW and Hard mode are starting to dissapoint, seriously. Needs some changes.

Zinger: Get FoW armor.

As for hard mode, yeah, it's not as good as I expected. The AI improvements are fairly irrelevant. So what if things now run away if they can't reach you (such as nuking from a bridge) and when you're clumping them while solo-farming?

"Improved skill bars" - yeah, right. So, you gave elites to mobs that didn't have them, made minor tweaks here and there (such as removing frenzy from everything), but the rest aren't really improved. Is skull crack anet's favourite elite, or something?

Hard mode really is hard, but only because everything across the board was buffed DoA-style, not because of supposedly improved AI or bars.

Is skull crack anet's favourite elite, or something? Heh you obviously missed how nearly ever mesmer has power block... So hard to play a pure healing monk, cast a spell...POWER BLOCKED...."Sorry I'd heal you but you know everything is recharging for 18 seconds"...or whatever. I hate that skill

That's not the important question. You've already made it quite clear that Guild Wars stopped being fun for you a very long time ago. The real question is, what's stopping you from moving on? Do you feel a commitment to your guild and the friends you've made? That's something you're going to have to address on your own. I seem to remember you once talking about character development, possibly in the GW2 non-transfer thread. Do you feel that your character represents too much effort to just walk away from? It would be a waste to just leave? Games are a waste. All those numbers and titles represent a waste that already past. Other than that I don't know why you would want to extend a torture.

Consider yourself lucky you're going through this at 17. Don't let yourself get too attached to the next big evening-waster when you're 18 and it could actually ruin your life. Play for fun. When the fun dies, leave.

You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or Allow?

If you are bored, you're most likely playing too much or playing too much in the same way. Anything can seem boring after a while and certainly anyone can become jaded. The secret is to know that boredom arises from within and not from without.

It's like having 500 channels on TV and nothing to watch...that you want to watch, at any rate.

Boredom is life's little way of saying, "Do something different". It doesn't mean you have to quit something forever or go join the Peace Corps or take up skydiving. Just moderate your activities.

Take a break.

^ Wise words.

Anywho,

1.Pokemon Diamond is awesome...

2.I think the hard mode AI is much smarter actually. The AoE run away system is very on their side, and they usually link good skills together. But that's just my opinion.

3.I'll be flamed for saying this , why don't you just stop playing Video Games as a hobby. If you are continuously being bored with them, just stop. Dead serious. Maybe that doesn't pertain to you. If not, I suggest the following things:

-Join a different guild if yours is worn out or too boring.
-Try a different class and start in a different campaign.
-Take a long break from MMOs, especially Guild Wars and World of Warcraft.
-Try to play a bunch of good, new games. (Pokemon Diamond, its the best pokemon game yet. Or try something like Gears of War or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.)
-Take a break from Video Games for a little while, and try other things to occupy your time. Maybe incorporate new things into your life WHILE playing Video Games so you wont be stuck with one thing. Nothing stays un-repetitive if you play it too much.

Hope I helped.

Hey thanks!

I have no idea why I haven't seen this one in my hunt for new beta games. Looks very nice, but I had some trouble getting to the right page to add myself to the beta for it. I think** I got to the right page, guess I'll find out soon enough.

I'm also bored with guild wars, which is why i've tried so many new games lately. I'm yet to find the one that grabs me, but this is the list of games I've tried either in free trial or beta forms in the last month or so.
Lineage 2
Dungeons and dragons online
Fury
Pirates of the Caribbean
Anarchy online
Lord of the Rings online
*Downloading City of heroes & Auto assault as we speak*

Wish me luck!

Bored..?

You can do these things

1) Farm Light bringer points...or sunspear points and go up in rank title

2) Ab...Where did all the ab rage go?

3) FoW - Trapper.

4) Make A new character and go for legendary defender of ascalon. Hard as heck title

5) Make a guild and recruit members, and throw guild parties. Funn...

6) Join a guild and host guild parties...

7) Vote for guru on the top 200 so they can get number 1

8) Go farm in a wurm in the desolation

9) Make a new character and beat every mission in a game

10) Go for treasure hunter/Wisdom/other title tracks.

Just put the game down until the expansion comes out. GW got really boring after beating Eloina. They really should have put out a new campaign. HM is not enough to keep me logging into GW from now till December. The last 5 months I've barely played GW is just too repeatative. Nothing new to see or do here. I'll be back for GW: EN, but making a title for vanquisher and redoing the same old missions in HM is not a substitute for new content. Don't force yourself to play just hang it up for a while.

I also kinda feel the same way the OP does. One of my mates quit GW two days ago. He uninstalled, we shed a tear for his lost characters.. /sigh

1: LB and SS point farming is such a grind
2: AB is fun..if you can get in. It becomes a drag
3: Trapping? No thank you, I choose life. The novelty of "set trap-->pull foe--> smoke and lights-->dead foe" has worn off (for me in any case)
4: Got to lvl10, haven't started Death leveling.. could see some serious grinding coming, and left pre pretty fast
5: Making a guild is fun, choosing the name is fun, designing your cape is fun, recruiting sucks
6: It's over-rated
7: This sounds like one of those Mad Magazine type things to do "piss off your tax collector by paying your taxes in loose change"
8: zzzZZZzz Press "C" Press "Spacebar" rince and repeat
9: Have 9 slots full, and all of my characters have beat every mission in every campaign..
10: I thought I might try advancing my lucky title this weekend... Very painfull.. I was getting disconnected like every 20min- and hour. Made about 5k in points in a little less then 2 days. I just couldn't stay connected in Shing Jea for some reason. Anyway, so I decide to vanquish the first area as you get out of Shing Jea. Things are going great, got 2 golds, opened 2 chests, get disconnected, reconnect.. realize my ping is crazy for some reason 100k ms +. Log off. I haven't played GW since, and have no desire to any time soon

I enjoy GW but find myself bored and disappointed with hard mode as well. I was hoping for levels 20-25 but with much more intelligent team builds and bars. Something any class can join a party to play against. Instead, we received enemies with overdone ability and level increases. I have always disliked such method of MMOs to make things "harder." I dislike being killed just because something is far overpowered. I much prefer getting killed because my strategy is flawed. I know I could pvp but that is something I really dislike generally.

Overall, hard mode refreshed the game only a little for me. It is something to do at least to pass some time every so often.
