2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #1 Posted October 23, 2015 I think I've reached the point where I've gotten burned out on this game... I'll hope into port and just....sit there looking at my ships but not really have the urge to play them.... (staring at the ships is actually somewhat enjoyable for me though because they look so pretty. Thank you ship modelers!) So yeah....pretty much think I need to take a step back for a while and not play this game for a bit, at least until WG gets off their @$$ and releases the Mikasa. (and here is where everyone says they aint gonna miss me lol) Anyone else feel like this lately...? I mean, I know we just got new ships, and I honestly thought it would renew my urge to play this game, but I just cant barely bring myself to hit the battle button.... Maybe its the lack of map and game mode diversity (seriously, I've been getting North and Solomon islands almost every single time I play....do they disable maps at certain times of day or something? Wth? ) Anyway, just thought I'd write something and see if any of ya'll are feeling the same way.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,045 dmckay Members 4,729 posts 8,265 battles Report post #5 Posted October 23, 2015 Play other games. I got that other game that will go unmentioned and I like to fly in it and oddly I do pretty dang well in that game for an old f#rt. I got WoT but I am pretty much burned out on it. Not because of the game....it's because many of the players over there I honestly think are nuts. Go to the library. Take a walk in the rain. Hike across the country Ha...whatever. Life is more than damn video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not until Fallout 4 gets released! ;D But yeah I have a few. Just stating I was getting burned out on this game as I'm sure some other people might be as well. (which this forums is for) Considerign the type of game WG games are (for the Achievement hunter/killer player type crowds -full explanation in video) burn out is normal. it happens often. so take a break and i'll look for when you return =) Very interesting video.... I can kind of see WG's game being more like the way he said CoD was....which makes even more sense as to why I got burned out lol I'll probably still stalk lurk the forums but probably wont boot the game up unless for a major update or something. Lol I wish I had the free time to get burned out.... I have barely any free time as well with work and family stuff, however, I've been playing this game since about the second quarter of the CBT, and I'm just now getting burned out on it, so you might still get there yet lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,678 VGLance Banned 2,229 posts 11,923 battles Report post #14 Posted October 23, 2015 Healthy to take a break. Not as healthy to always be thinking of what next game to play that can provide a higher entertainment value which I'm not saying the OP would do (not pointing fingers), but many players do. The universe works in your favor the more you work toward balance. I always encourage players to make sure they are incorporating physical and mental fitness activities, face-to-face social interaction, and skill-based self-improvement to make sure you stay economically viable. Just like the more you play the game and climb up the tiers you will experience diminishing returns, likewise will a person's quality of life experience diminishing returns the more they invest in entertainment.

5,937 [WOLF1] paradat Beta Testers 16,338 posts 23,708 battles Report post #19 Posted October 23, 2015 I tend to have a main game with several secondary games and reserve games. Rotate the main game and you will avoid burn out. It also helps to have plans for future games. Right now my active games are: Main: World of Warships Archage Secondary: Armored Warfare World of Tanks Star wars Battlefront. Reserve: Ultimate General Gettysburg and many others. Future: Dreadnaught Star Citizen Total War Arena Helliborne So any way play a secondary game at least once a week. Play a reserve game at least once a month.
