I play MMOs to burn off stress, not make it worse.Īnd this has been a very long, very pointless ramble about one of the ways I burn off steam and waste time. I am not terribly fond of the FTP model, because it just encourages trolls and scammers, but I enjoy the ability to try out the game without spending money to see if it fits with my playstyle and preferences.Īnd before any of you helpfully suggest ESO, I have watched my husband play Bathesda games and when the bugs are so prevalent, the company CEO is making jokes about it at E3, I’m gonna pass. Asian fantasy is a personal favorite and it certainly looks pretty (which is important dammit). That and I am always up for fantasy genre not based around Western Europe. Even now, the first time my husband played ARMS with me, I absolutely owned him from muscle memory alone. Back before my disabilities, I was an extremely good 3D fighting game player. Now I am trying Blade and Soul, which is supposed to have a fighting game esque combat system. We didn’t make it out of the first area because we got fed up with the bugs and the lack of group play support. Not to mention the snails’ pace of the storyline and the buggy and irritatingly picky puzzles. Which is buggier than batshit and has the worst grouping mechanics in MMOs. If I wanted to play ship combat, I would play a ship combat simulator. But after finishing the class storylines, I lost interest. I bought Archeage Unchained because while I don’t want to play the game all the time, I do occasionally like to play it and I feel less guilty about a one time fee and not playing it for months. But the alt limit and open world PvP were turn offs. I barely have to touch my mouse and thus don’t end up with pain in my functional fingers from endless mouse clicking. Everything being a keyboard shortcut was the most neuropathy friendly thing I have encountered in MMOs. The combat system was challenging without being frustrating and the endless class combinations were fun to play with. Not to mention the player housing situation is worse than not having player housing at all. I have the worst pug and RNG luck and therefore I avoid them both as much as possible.
But required dungeon content to progress every five damn quests is a no. It’s a beautiful game that’s a lot of fun classes, races, and storylines. So I have to be able to play in third person and disable or turn down as many of these as I can. My photosensitive migraines do not like first person or super flashy particle effects. I have nearly completed my transmog collection (until I can get the rep to get more transmog, stupid content gating) and therefore I am bored.īecause of my disabilities (I have nerve damage in my right hand which makes it impossible to use the mouse to drive and often I have to use the mouse to click hot keys because my neuropathy is making the fingers dumb), I have to use a certain key configuration. I absolutely HATE PvP.īut there gets to be a point in every expansion where I am tired of the slog, especially the gated endgame progression Blizz has become so fond of the past few expansions. I do not raid or even run dungeons unless there’s something I want (like progression on a transmog set or mount) that requires it and I will bitch to my husband the ENTIRE time I am doing it.
I like crafting and collecting transmog, pets, toys, and mounts. I am almost exclusively a solo playing altoholic. I have been playing WoW for going on 14 years now.
As I sit here waiting for an MMO to download, I browse beginner’s guides.
