Have you ever..

[Jauna]

Hit a milestone with your character, like 39 for druids, or level 37 for warriors, or .. well the list can go on, and you suddenly lose interest in that character?

This happened with my 39 druid last night, unleashed my pack spells on a mistmoore group, had a group of doggies fighting vampires and hitting my group with pack regen and.. today i just dont want to play it.

Or my warrior from like a week ago, little shit couldnt hold agro worth a damn and now that im 37 with a couple of yaks I can hold it like a beast.. when they feel like working... and I just dont wanna play it anymore.

[Itap]

I think your issue is not having long term goals with your characters. You obviously have short term goals, i.e. 39 for ports/evacs and 37 for procs, but you need to think long term in regards to enjoyability with your character(s).

[myxomatosii]

Goal, cobalt breastplate. Go.

[Itap]

Goal, cobalt breastplate. Go.

Or perhaps, epic?

Also, it depends on the class. Warriors are monotonous. Autoattack and kick.

[myxomatosii]

Or perhaps, epic?

I chose the most difficult thing I could think of, I think most warriors get epic well before Cobalt chest.

Hmmm, in the line of easier goals.. participate in the epic fight of various classes.
Complete a set of planar gear (the good pieces).
Take on some of the solo/duo artist challenges.

[murcielago200]

Ya that happens to me all the time. Helps having multiple characters or multiple goals. Played my shaman like crazy till he got his epic and then I was like.... Now what?

Just need to set another goal.

[Itap]

Id suggest leveling to 46+ so you can start raiding the planes, or something along those lines. Its easy to lose interest in your character when all you do is kill for Exp instead of items.

[Jimjam]

Yea, nothing wrong with finishing with a character once you have completed your goals.

If you want motivation to keep playing that character find yourself new goals for it. You're obviously a goal orientated player.

[Jauna]

I see what you all are saying, but I just cannot seem to focus on one character here on p99. Back on Classic I mained a paladin and only a paladin until around mid-Luclin and my monk was born.

My paladin back then I was age 15 18ish with my nose to the grindstone, farming plat for resist gear to raid to get the raid gear I coulda used alot when leveling, getting into guilds (if on bertox youd know but if not oh well), Clan ta Veren, Arch of Chaos.. but I dont think I want to do all that again.

But here, leveling is so slow compared to what we have now for MMOs and I need to set up little short term goals to keep going, for example I look at all the little things ill be getting from the next level. example: my druid was 37 a few days ago and I was so excited to get 38 to get that +1 point of mana regen, or getting level 29 with my warrior so my offhand starts double attacking

[Barkingturtle]

I empathize.

This happens to me all the time when I hit level twenty and assign my character a gloriously clever surname. After that -- the thrill is gone.

[Crede]

but you need to think long term in regards to enjoyability with your character(s).

Exactly this. You want to think long term. Like what you will be doing at level 50+ vs. what you WANT to be doing. Whether it be raiding, soloing crazy stuff, being the best dps, etc.

[fishingme]

Can't say I'm not there now. Three levels away from 60 on my shaman but I'm bored of leveling with gear that I got. It's either invest a month to farm plat for fungi, or get to 60 in said month...

[eqravenprince]

Hell, I hit level 9 with my Shaman, cast Sow and I was done!

[Ahldagor]

i enjoy watching things rot on my shaman.

[Jauna]

Hell, I hit level 9 with my Shaman, cast Sow and I was done!

This happened with my Enchanter and level 16.

[Itap]

Happens with any hybrid I get to level 9

[blondeattk]

i agree with your choice, dru are insanely boring class to play on this server.....as the mana regen is so bad (non existent)

abandoned mine at 40, and really cant be bothered to go back to it.

[myriverse]

Not to do with characters, but I've never found the higher levels of any video game worthwhile. The middle game is always better.

[Roku]

getting into guilds (if on bertox youd know but if not oh well), Clan ta Veren, Arch of Chaos..

Those were Terris-Thule guilds. In a moment of game-rage, I once referred to AoC as Arch of C*nts in ooc when they leap-frogged us in SSRA for the boss mob. Their leadership was shady, even by p99 standards. CTV was a quality guild.

[Wotsirb401]

It seems you are just like my friend who makes characters, twinks them out, gets them a few levels and then quits and sells gear to do it all over again. maybe ADHD

[Pringles]

This happens on nearly every character I have. However, I always go back to them after I burn out on the next alt or two....

I totally forgot about Terris-Thule, and I could of sworn I remember CtV in the Kunark/Velious era (and being on Bertox) fighting along side (or with) Valon, while Arch of Chaos being the euro raiding guild being fairly big in the PoP/Luclin era because they had a heafty AM and PM raiding force. Or maybe my memory is just terrible after 13-14 years

But I love the sound of the rain..

The goal for my warrior is epic lightsabers. This will keep me playing the game for two decades it seems.

This is exactly my problem :o

and here i am just starting a druid after being gone from p99 for a few years! Are they that bad? Seems like the best choice from scratch to get a decent bank account going.

No, they aren't "that bad". It seems people start druids just to have port bots, because it's a decent way to make plat. Nobody actually has the intentions of playing one to 60, nor do they want to actually learn how to efficiently play one

[Andervin]

CNCS (Chronic New Character Syndrome) I know it well. There is no cure I'm afraid.

I was able to quickly earn more than named class whilst enjoying another class of a much lesser level than it is required to earn pp for ports/pl of a druid. I suggest playing a class you enjoy.

OP each class hits its dull points. Continue on, as the late game can be quite fun. Especially since Velious is near.

THIS HAPPENS TO ME
