Miss you too, buddy...
Im not sure about AoC again for me, tbh.
The last time i tried to play again, I would just end up standing around all night. I dont like faction grinding, minis... and well, you know how much I like pugs. That leaves 6 mans and raids. I get really fustrated with the new 6 mans (they are always buggy for me) and the only RN raids I can go to are their alt ones. Soooo their tanks are less geared than I am, which means I have to back off tanking, which is then replaced by rage by the end of the night.
I thought t5 would maybe respark the interest... but its all t1 revamp stuff. I hated t1 the first time, so, why would it be better the second? It really itrratated me that they simply redid an existing encounter after so long. I would have expected the crafting revamp and a new raid after 2 years-ish.
So, I had an realization one day a few months back in "why am I paying to get mad?" and stopped all together.
Ive been having a lot of fun in ArcheAge. I dont think it will be a permanant thing, but its not bad.
Exuun, Cata and I have been playing with Asylum and this other small guild, Take My Pack.
Im really excited for Black Desert, or what ever its called, but this is a good option till then (for me) lol
Ill try to put some more info in the ArcheAge thread later today, if it peeks your interest at all. Their crafting / commerce system is pretty cool... which I remember telling Cata "I bet Tankzo would love this"
