What do you spend most of your time on in other games?

List your other games and what activity you like doing for some reason.

ESO, I like running around gathering everything for professions. I think I spend more time doing profession stuff then actually questing, doing dungeons, or anything else really. But then again, I’m a hoarder. I like gathering everything USEFUL later on and relevant forever.

Pokémon Go, I like the ability to level up the power of each pokemon with a currency that I can always work on, no matter how long I take a break.

Basically, I wish WoW had better, useful, and relevant professions no matter what xpac. I’m not a fan of “season”/xpac professions.

That reminds me of another thing, completing everything. I miss having the thoughts of “I’m done doing the most I can for my main, no need to grind anything! Let’s level alts.”

What do you do in those games that catch your attention the most?

Learning every enemy pattern, spawn point, and generally getting good enough to not die much at all.

Also I just like those worlds. Especially Dark Souls 3. It has such a beautiful (but dangerous) world. It has a nice variety of weapon styles and magic options.

Mostly Overwatch. It’s not the game it used to be, but there is still fun to be had there. Mostly I’m just waiting for something to catch on. I desperately wanted that to be Fallout 76, but my god was that awful at release. Maybe I will give it a second shot on its anniversary… it’s gotta be better by then right… right???

The only game I play when I need a break from WoW is the Dragon Age series.

STO: binge play the new missions, then logout for 6 months until a sufficient amount more have been added.

SWTOR: attempt to get into the story while trying not to fall asleep due to the unbelievably dull world music … seriously how can a STAR WARS game have such bad background music!?

Amazing series. Late last year I even decided to revisit dark souls 1-3 and complete all the optional bosses and content (without any help, for the challenge! :+1:). I only need to defeat Darkeater Midir in Dark souls 3 now.

Counter strike source deathmatch and zombie mod servers.

I love survival games especially themed ones was let down when conan devs said the release wouldn’t include spells or mounts.

Wish I still had that push to play some games like I used to. Can’t get around to feeling any excitement for any game to be honest.

I play ESO. Madly doing quests, delves and leveling up a main, getting ready for Elswyer on May 20 (for me as I’m ESO +.) Not much crafting right now, mostly just trying to reach at least lvl 50. I only started a few months ago and had trouble deciding on a “main.” lol

I like all the classes and many of the races. Still basically have 2 mains, but I’m focusing on my magicka Templar (Altmer) right now. Then will do my magicka Dragonknight (Breton.)

I just dinged 30 on my Templar. Only 20 more levels to go! (Yes I have experience buffs.)

I don’t have a huge amount of time to play so getting to my goal is a bit slow!

FFXIV for me mostly, working on alt classes & jobs lately (everything doable on one character) to pass time leading up to the next expansion; which would be in little under a couple of months.

Crafting and gathering in that game are their own classes with their own gameplay mechanics, so things there are quite interesting (crafting high-quality items makes it more interesting than just “fill up the bar”). Had a lot of fun getting all of them up to level 30 (along with every gathering and combat class to level 30) in order to unlock my first crown in the game.

The last few weeks I’ve been putting more time into leveling DPS classes (as someone who mainly tanks, queue times take some getting used to). Red Mage was my latest one to finish, which is a simple but enjoyable class. Been focusing on Dragoon lately, which has been quite neat (if lacking in AoE abilities until far later than every other job it seems).

For other games, I have a decent backlog to work through.
Really want to get around to finishing Xenogears one of these days.

War Thunder; Tank and air RB, namely with Germans and Italians. Maus is my favorite, even if it ain’t all that great of a performer. There’s just a certain joy to driving a 188 ton beast of steel through an entire building, its 1200 horsepower engine roaring like a an angry dragon.

Italian WW2 planes are grossly underrated by popular history. The Re.2005, G.55, and MC.205 are all considered to be best axis warplanes of WW2 by performance, yet it’s the 109’s and Zeroes that get all the media attention. The drawback of Italian fighters was that they were built to such high standards, that they were extremely expensive to make; for the price of one G.55, you could build 4 Bf-109G’s. That was, ultimately, their shortcoming. Italian WW2 fighter planes in War Thunder, and in real life, are my favorite aircraft.

Destiny 2; Kill stuff with Crown-Splitter. That’s really it; I don’t like the PvP in it, and the RNG can really make one sour, but the core gameplay of Destiny 2 is pretty solid.

Oblivion; When modded right, is the best of the “modern” Elder scrolls games. It has plenty of RPG elements that Skyrim lacks, without the atrocious combat and visuals of Morrowind. Vanilla Oblivion sucks, but it’s much more versatile in what you can mod it into unlike the other two games. In Skyrim, no amount of mods can bring back that traditional RPG feel or correct the predictable, overly-linear dungeon design(really gets tiresome fighting the same draugr and falmer over and over.) In Morrowind, nothing is gonna fix that atrocious run animation, add physics, or make it to where beast races can wear helms and boots without crashing the game.

Resident Evil 4; this game is old, but I still go back to it every now and then. I’ve played it so much I could probably do it knife-only blindfold. Trying out the game with so many different personal challenges/builds is pretty fun, like doing a grenade-only run or never upgrading any weapon.

Fallout New Vegas. Best of both worlds fallout; has the impactful RPG decisions from Fallout 1 and 2, but without the annoying AP/turn-based system. Has the more intuitive first person style of 3 and 4, but without Bethesda’s awful linear “pigeon-holed into this character” storytelling in their fallouts. Can be kind of bland/annoying if you’ve never played it before; it’s a game that’s a grower, not a shower.

I spend most of my time writing or drawing though. 10 years for the former, 13 or so for the latter. One of these days it’ll pay off when I get the necessary means of publishing and advertising.

ESO, I play both PC and console, I prefer playing it on console though, it’s relaxing playing an MMO and laying on the couch to play it with a controller.

I also recently got back into Elder Scrolls Oblivion, the graphics are dated but I don’t care, it’s still a lot of fun to play.

Sometimes I’ll play Red Dead Redemption 2, but the online mode is filled with griefers so I play mostly the story mode.

I’ve been a huge Fallout fan and recently tried Fallout76 but it couldn’t hold my interest for long, it feels so empty, Fallout 4 was even better.
