Hah, fancy being reminded of that.
For everybody’s information, in case you care, I’ve basically stopped logging into WoW, and my left hand is feeling much better and I’m more relaxed and joyful.
This game is a burden. It is far, far too difficult and fast for its own good, and the struggle isn’t my enemies, it’s just playing my character. I don’t feel powerful, I feel hindered. It’s exhausting to play. I’m tired of it, and I’m really only here (the forums) because I still… I have these feelings for this game because I’ve played it for so long, but I am just so, so fed up with the design direction. I just… I can’t. I might have gotten too old, idk, but I can’t. It’s too much.
I remember coming into DF being pretty happy overall - not ecstatic - but happy that the chores were gone, and my class was weak yet felt powerful because it was simple to pull off the basic rotation and so the challenge was to stop my enemies with my powers. Then 10.1.5 came, and they overhauled all mage specs to be massively complicated and much, much faster. I played it for a while but I’m just… I don’t know how to express this. It’s not that I’d use swear words. I’m just incapable. I feel hopeless, and I’m bored “struggling against my own powers”, so to speak.
Here’s the post by the way:
