Showing Posts For A Typical Jester.6507:
My question would be, is this something that affects you in real life or just in game? If it’s just an ingame consideration then maybe Elrey’s suggestion. Invent a personality and background for your char where he doesn’t care about such things. Or he thinks about them but then puts the thoughts aside.
Thankyou for the response!
It certainly isn’t as prominent in real life, but it certainly occurs. I often find myself repeating things due to me “not remembering”. It drains me. But that personality idea sounds really good.
A long time ago, I thought like you. I thought that I needed to do everything myself, on my own merit. That kind of logic really doesn’t work in MMOs. I’m never going to solo Tequatl. Other players will be there attacking, healing, rezzing. That’s as it should be.
MMOs are meant to be imperfect and by attempting to perfect them, you’re missing part of the magic. Sometimes luck can be a factor in a victory, even for professionally athletes.
A ball takes a bad bounce, the wind is in a certain direction, someone slips in the outfield, anything can happen than can give you an advantage. But a team game is different from a solo game, and when I play solo games I definitely play that way..when I play games with others, I abandon that and see the game from a top down point of view. Suddenly it’s more than about just me…and that’s perfectly okay.
It’s awesome (in a sense) to hear about other people’s stories with similar thought processes. It certainly reassures me that i’m not the only one. Thankyou so much for the great response. I appreciate it! Hopefully I can adjust to this mindset like you did.
You’re 100% right though. I suppose I am missing a large portion of the game. Again, thanks for the response
Roleplay as the bad guy. The bad guys are always getting problems, however they ignore/get over it and try to break things more often. Since you would be trying to break the fabric of reality, bugs/glitches would help you instead of annoy you.
So that’s the challenge… can you dark your own mind?
What an interesting response. It’s certainly an option. Thankyou for the suggesting it!
Hello everyone! Hope all is well.
I’m here to post a rather unusual post that i’m sure will confuse most of you (it even confuses me to some extent). Before I continue, I apologize if this post is under the wrong section. I figured that considering I require help from other players (advice), this is the best area for it.
I will attempt to make this as brief as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.
I have this mentality that if I encounter a glitch (and by glitch I mean anything that isn’t “perfect”) I must restart my character regardless of the level and start again. Believe it or not, I fear gaining both an advantage over other players and exceeding the boundaries that should not be exceeded at my current level. Regardless of how small or large the glitch is, it consumes (although quite serious, you get the idea) my mentality.
Sadly, glitches are merely the beginning of my problems. If I don’t remember something occurring, I’m compelled to repeat my actions in an attempt to what I have titled “compensating”.
An example of one of these. I was completing the mission “beneath the waves” (Slyvari main story). One of my strategies was to bait the enemy towards the prisoners and attack set AoE traps (Necro Staff). Suddenly, Ehuatl jumped OUT of his cage (literally, completely out) and attacked the enemies scoring two kills. I gained such a pathetic amount of exp. However, it was enough to start stupid thoughts.
Thing is, I know it’s stupid. I know there is absolutely no reason I should care. I know I shouldn’t even bother “compensating” for it. But I do it anyway. It’s like I have to.
I often tell my mates, “don’t worry, this is my last time” only to restart anyway. Which makes the problem worse.
Ultimately, I’m here if anyone were to have any advice or potentially “share” any stories they have had. Again, I know it’s stupid. Sorry if this is pathetic xD.
Thanks for reading!
Hey everyone. Im fairly new to the game. After playing around with my warrior, I decided to try something different. My choice? Elementalist.
Again, im fairly new to the game. Ergo, im unaware of some of the terms used in this game. However, I need help with a build. Is D/D best? Or scepter dagger? Which is better?
Also. I find it difficult to 1v1 other players? Is this lack of experience, or is Elementalist more of a “bulky support”?
Thanks! Means alot!
Hey everyone! Hope all is well.
Im a brand new player here (and to the forums aswell, so apologies if this is in the wrong spot), and decided to play as the thief. Yes, im aware of his nerfs. However, I have always wanted to be different, and besides, I have seen many thief gameplay with him, taking out six-seven enemies at once.
So basically…How do you use “the thief”? Is he a poor choice?
Thankyou!
