But the population of the server seems to be going through a burnout and it is infectious. When most of the kin is unwilling to partake in any group quests and even the global channel is quiet what can one do after a couple of hours of boredom except log off?
Anyhow I have been struggling through Book 8 and I think it is possibly the toughest book yet and I have only reached Chapter 5!
Chapter 1 is a very though solo instance as reported in my previous post. Chapter 2 is just an A to B to C quest. Chapter 3 is a very tough 3 man instance followed by another tough 3 man instance for Chapter 4.
I like the fact the epic chain integrates with areas that are actually stand alone instances in their own right - though that could be considered as economic development. But these new 3 manners are so tough you actually need a Lore Master and a Minstrel to supplement the third person. If you are a heavy armour user expect the usual 700 Silver repair bill at the end of a tough session.
I'm not sure if the difficulty is actually a good thing or not, but the frustrating thing is finding a caster and a healer to do the run when everyone is in holiday season.
I have also been enjoying Secret of Monkey Island SE - lovely funny game well worth £7. I'll blog more about it when I have finished it.
You know what I suggest...take s break from it. You only birn out faster if you keep trying to ring every drop out of it. It will still be there when you go back...
ReplyDeletePlaying Monkey Island is a great idea, try Trine or give something on the Xbox a shot...
A Change is as good as a rest..
To be honest I don't play it much these days, so I am already taking a steady crawl - something like 1.5 times a week.
