Total burnout

Total burnout, temple feels like the economy right now, totally inflated. Come to play a game to get away from that.

Blasting through temple with 3000 divines in gear. Play the exact way in maps getting crystal and charcter just falls over and dies to white mobs.

Silly sprint animation end, blink animation has same sprint animation ending.

It feels so clunky and horrible moving around after you get a headhunter and make bloodmage coc and run 11 temples of 76 rooms for 4 hours straight.

Going back to maps feels like a different game, investing 3000 divines to feel totally deflated my guy just falls over in maps.

Gamba crafting and price inflation made its way to everything. The mods on tablets are so many combinations, too much clutter, the same with map modifiers, so many modifiers are so boring and they all stack together on the same waystones.

The thought of looking at prices of waystone/tablets/juice material, makes me sick. The gamble doesnt stop there. Like a spreadsheet to make the tablets, another for the waystones, another for the map nodes

These silly maps influence is all over the place. Running regular easy maps and tablets and running into solid 20x breach maps when I didnt even run any breach tablets???

The next minute I play ritual and the flipping map which should normally has monsters has zero magic monsters for me to kill and its a +1 node fully juiced spent divine on inflated tablets e.t.c.

On the other hand when I don't play ritual tablets, I get ritual all over the maps and annoyed I feel like I cannot interact with it.

The maps is just a shadow of something which was gutted out and not balanced. There arent enemies when you want them and theres too many enemies when you dont want it.

To make matters worse these issues are exacerbated by rarity and group play basically breaking the economy even further... you're paying the same price for juicing materials as a guy who grabbed an 600 rarity bot and 4 leeches, who is instead getting lock/mirror, while the average player sprinting into a wall and dying losing their node on the waystone.

What is group play anyway. 1 person allowed to damage, 2nd person just a bot for rarity, and 4 doing nothing allowed to take scraps when theyre juicing the content, its just silly.

Then all of this is made even better by having a big neverending map in front of you which is like a wall of shame showing all the maps you failed on and basically theres no point playing in that area because you lost all juicing potential.

Also, what is the point of towers after gutting? To put grand project inside?

Thats its only purpose?

Either remove the grand project or remove the tower entirely.

I am so fed up of being punished at times I run a grand project in my towers and nothing else, simply because I dont want to fail and be reminded of so, not being able to jump 20 maps around it. Funnily enough the boss I always have maxed out, its the moving around and my character falling over which I just find infruriating. Temple has made everything feel worse because it became too addicting yet puts you to sleep running a 20minute snake chasing a 5000 divine golden charm

The next minute im throwing currency at a corrupted lost tower and for some reason no enemies spawned on it? The next normal lost tower I spend nothing on theres 30 abyss all over it

None of it makes sense to me anymore, the movement being janky to me now, my build does 20 million damage but falls over and dead to white mobs, I mean stun threshold, ailment threshold, what the heck is all that when youre button mashing. Not like it does anything

In guild wars you have stability or stun breaks, interrupts, invulnerability, these add layers of mechanics, deeper tactical gameplay. Sadly their sequel suffers the power creep, and mounts, its boring. I'm at a point I'm so bored out and jaded because I have nothing to play.

Guild wars 1 is the most fun to me now, because I just get on my mesmer and make enemies kill themselves, if I see him casting a big spell, I'll make him eat it instead, there is some tactical feeling/flow to the combat, but even then I just cant be bothered, I get so badly burned out so quickly in modern games now I lose the mojo to play anything

My dream is a game similar to GW1/GW2 but with a cool looting and crafting system like path of exile.

My friend keeps trying to get me to play poe 1 and all I see now is aoe spamming screen. Probably jaded again because I started poe 1 on merc league and I started poe 2 on abyss league. Merc league was great for me because I liked being a mage but also having golems, abyss league was just great fun, however I lost interest after I picked up a leech and got so much more loot.. not really a game I want to be playing
