Guild Wars 2

Last week my girl has influenza so I had to take good care of her. It was an interesting experience gamewise. She was resting on the 3-people sofa, while I was on another one with my laptop. When she needed me I could simply press alt+f4 and help her out with whatever she needed, be it food, emptying the puke bin or carrying her to the toilet. Yes taking care of someone can be less than comforting at times. In the meanwhile I could still advance slowly to whatever I was going for, be it dailies, completing a map, crafting or farming karma and mats.

Nothing I did was really time demanding in a continuous fashion. Dying in game isn’t a problem as the health of a loved one is worth a few silver since waypoints are abound. Even though my playtime could be interrupted at any moment I still felt like making progress towards that elusive goal: my first legendary. I crept to 92% map completion up from 80%. I raised one crafting profession far higher with homegrown mats, I gathered another 100k karma and a few golds while taking care of a sick one. In no other MMO would such a playstyle be remotely possible.

I agree, I love the casual playstyle, makes life so much more relaxing

Hope you get better soon.
