Never force yourself to play a game , it will only ruin it for you.

Guild groups>PuGs. Most PuGs arent very good and most of them have a rank requirement which turns many new HA players away from HA

I feel your pain to some extent. For the past, oooohhh, 8 months I've been moving from vent server to vent server, talking with friends, or just responding to PMs in game while sitting in Kamadan.

I just haven't found the drive to grind away at another title track (though I do poke at them from time to time), albeit a great option for the wayward gamer. Personally, I'd say find an active guild. Make some new friends. You'd be surprised what an active environment can do to get you back on your feet again. If you like PvP, find a guild that's suiting to your play style. The same of course goes for PvE. I assume from your post you ran Ursan DoA groups. If that's the case, you may be pleasantly pleased with the fact that many PvE guilds still do daily clears, post excellent times, and that prices on torments will go through the roof (hopefully) once the HoM changes go into effect; if that's your bag of course.

On the other hand; if you're just burnt out on the game, realize that it is of course, just one game. Try something new, or just take some time off. We've all been there and done it. Coming back after a decent break (especially post-massive-skill-changes) is often a breath of fresh air.

currently guildless..

same.. exactly has the same problem.

I just made a guild, hoping that it will give me some sort of a new perspective toward what I can do in game.

My advise is to try something that you haven't before. Now, if you 100% sure you've done everything (doesnt include scamming ) then my advise is to take a break. If you still can't get the feeling back even after a lenghty break, then move on to another game.

Just play another game. A bunch of people are in your shoes, myself included. Log in, see if any friends are on. Nope, none on. Load up CoD4. Hopefully GW2 doesn't take too long, but there are plenty of good games out there. I'm not grinding. Not my thing, but to the people who enjoy it, more power to y'all. HA was fun back when, but the frustrations of finding a group just ain't worth it when CoD4 and other games just find you a match... a competitive one even.

yeah i feel your pain. really the only reason i play now is the ppl in my alliance, always a fun conversation goin on. i just log on and help them out with whatever they need. another way to keep entertained for a few days is make a pre char, do all the quests. pre is just so relaxing.

but yes, i think the best advice here is to take a break. over 34 months of play, ive taken 1-2 month breaks probly 4 times. certainly helps u to not hate GW.

personally, id say just sit and think of your absolute favorite game of way back when. something that sucked u in for a few months and day n night its all u thought about. and see if u can get the old console or whatnot and play it.

good luck

Oh yeah! Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. I looked up the cheat codes on the internet, and the game is so much better when you're a munchkin! An evil munchkin!

OMG! I completely forgot about Baldur's Gate! I might have to rummage around in my computer room and find it!

I also got bored with GW after the GW:EN release (beat it when there were only 3 people in the Central Transfer Chamber when I got there and got bored about a month after release). My guild/gaming clan got into CoD4 and I played that for about 6 months. When I came back to GW, everything seemed fresh and new. It was like a brand new game. Ursan had destroyed pretty much everything, and everything was now grind grind grind. I just went back to what I always did. Teaching new players the areas to farm and helping guildies with quests and missions. I might have to take another break in a month or two, but its fun to come back.

i think the main problem with gw is that you never really improve shit.

you do a story line untill another comes out.

you farm for different gear but stats or quality does not improve.. just the look.

you farm for lame titles and wait for lame mini pets.



I played gw for 2 full years before moving to wow.. all i would do is farm because the story got old in the first week.. i would level new characters to farm with and i would try to work around nerfs..

all that was ok untill every single item in the game became worthless. nothing is a claim to fame anymore..

this game is redundant and boring its a waste of time playing a storyline you have heard.. farming items you know are worthless and getting new gear that is not needed for progression..

i dont play this shit game anymore because if i could rate it now i would rate it far less than any other mmorpg i have ever seen..

so like others have said.. go play either world of warcraft. or warhammer online.. or eventually diablo 3.



This game is a single player game that makes you be online to play.. and it sucks at that..

People claim that this game is free to play.. i beg to differ.. there have been 4 games you literally HAVE to buy in order to actually squeeze some enjoyment outa the game. not only that but having the option to buy skills and other gay things is dumb.


this game is shit.. this website is shit..go play a good game and join a good gaming comunity .. cause the only thing that you will find here are a buncha money grubbing asshats.

Hey dude, good to have you back. Was your previous avatar banned for swearing or because you have nothing worthwhile to say?

not to get to far off topic but if you search "backforanotherround"'s posts you will see one like 3 days old raving about how great it is to be back in GW. apparently someone pissed in his wheaties this morning. either that or hes just a raging hemmeroid.

According to the press releases you dont have to have a single damn thing in your HOM to play GW2. please at least be accurate on the details.

It is sad to see, players who have beaten all campaigns NM/HM, got all PvE titles, just pretty much give up slowly....and yes its hard in PvP to get a good group, the best thing to do is spend time in Random Arenas and getting ur title up so u can get a good team for heroes ascent, Hero battles can get annoying when some1 obviously more elite then u just smashes u constantly and camps shrines...lol i hate that

stop playing..thats what i did i just cant get back into the game for more than 5 min or so.Although Backforanotheround is a bit of a troll..ill have to agree with him on some points.

My suggestions:

-get along with friends get out in clubs etc.
-try playing something different
-take your car and annihilate civic ricers for fun.

edit: oh and the reason i still come to the forums is to see if anything has changed...i saw that MOX thing but...i never used derv heroes anyways.

Just found myself quiting GW for awhile and going back to BF2

Brings back some great memories when playing it.

But to the topic guy, stop playing for awhile, or just put GW on the shelfs.
Warhammer Online is soon coming, lot's of people will play that.
Me included if I have the guts to ask my parents since they get pissed each time I ask about a monthly-fee game

Well i'd suggest Ra for a bit, thats what i've been doing and a bit of GvG with my guild with some nice success but only being allowed online weekends starting to think of going Ha instead. but thats 1 massive rank fest for newbies><

feeling the same myself, if you dont feel like playing then don't.
WoW is good but once your at 70 and well geared its all meh and boring imo.

Thinking of trying LotR online with some friends while still pvp-ing in GW (Fairest pvp system i know)
