Lately the game has just felt really stale. M+ where they changed up the difficulty hasnt felt like it used to, the affixes are great but the ramp up is eh. The raid is ok but the same one week after week is just ug. I miss mini raids.

Is it just me? Like i log in and for the first time in a long time i just didnt have the oomph to play. Like i try and its just… idk.

I feel like the patch has went on really long too which doesn’t help. Like i got my renowns up and all that its just… it feels old.

I mean i would suggest patches come out faster but I know that’s extra work etc.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like burn-out. Take a break for a few weeks, come back when they launch the new patch.

That’s fair but even then like… i should be looking forward to the next patch and I’m halfway looking forward halfway not.

Like im happy to explore lore with goblins but the gear grind i just it feels tiring with the crest system with very tight caps.

Stale.

And yeah, it is lol.

The new stuff, like the story, is basically a drip-feed.

A new chapter every 6+ months.

And said chapter takes less than an hour to complete.

I play PvP which is arguably the most stale endgame content pillar of them all. The same BGs from Vanilla lol.

You’re feeling burnt out. When that happens I take a break from wow.

Personally, I stopped worrying about gear and just do events and chasing achievements now.

I think a thing too is stuff would happen in the world that was like “it made you think about the overall goal” you know?

Like we fight zalatath sure but… I want more main story.

I like the sit a while and listen bits.

Stale? Indeed.

The season is done, and we’ve done the same old stuff to death at this point.

Can honestly say my play time has gone down considerably over the last few weeks, but I’ve also accomplished more than I planned.

My last aim for the season is to finish off a bunch of mythic set mogs, which is now just a waiting game for catalyst charges.

That Goblin fight club and housing next expansion are good starts, now dial up the fight club into something like a working Galaggio casino and suddenly some folks won’t be so bored waiting on content.

I was just writing that housing can’t come fast enough!

Take an even longer break. No need to force yourself to play. Wow will always be here when you decide to come back.

In a weird way the AP grind kind of filled the void for me during the later part of patches during legion/bfa. Even though the power gain would be minor it felt like I was still progressing. But at the same time people were very vocal about hating it.
I guess the true solution is to just play other games or do other things. Unless you’re pushing high IO or going for a last minute CE its hard for wow to be your only game these days.

IMO the game is missing fun, middle difficulty content. Queued content is so trivial that it’s boring and dies before you finish your rotation. And M+ can be fun if you have a good group, but it’s not a relaxing way to chill and game.

I miss BC heroics when you could casually do some content in the middle without it being a snooze or stressful.

Move on for a bit. Make yourself a stopping point (Renown or something) and hang up the keys until the patch drops.

Pick up something else in the meantime.

  • Phasmophobia
  • Forewarned
  • Lethal Company
  • Earth Special Defense
  • and plenty more

Tell me about it. I content myself with chasing the perfect mog, and getting raid groups together for chill mog runs, which I find pretty fun. Not touching M+ with a 12ft pole.
