Bored With WoW Help.

[Liamstriker]

I am starting to get bored with WoW. Patch 3.3 hasn't changed my mind at all.
Any ideas on a new character to play/new game to play?
Christmas is coming up, and i have been asked what i want several times, any ideas on that aswell?

You can always do what I do, and play xbox/ps3 for a month or so.

Thinking about asking for a Netbook, or a PS3, which games are good for PS3?

WoW is boring. It gets interesting sometimes when you have good goals. But my play time varies and I often will let my sub lapse for a couple months depending on what other things I have going on. You didn't really say crap about what you like other than "WoW but not WoW today" so I have no clue what to recommend to you. Games are very preference-driven.

I wanna rent Dragon age Origins for the PS3. It got like an 8.5 rating from IGN. Plus it is from the same guys who made Baldur's Gate. It seems very multi-boxer friendly.

I can't really comment on combat, I'm playing Godmode on easy, but the story is great, the voice acting is amazing {I love Claudia Black...I want to keep her in a little box under my bed and pet her and feed her cakes!} the interactions are fun and engaging and the graphics look really nice.

The only problem I have with the game is the female characters all walk like John Wayne.

lol I don't get that, it's a single player game...

I do have Dragon Age on PC and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys RPGs. Lots of great dialog and fun combat. mage grease fires for the win!

It involves controlling multiple characters simultaneously.

I quit a couple of weeks ago. Don't regret it at all.

It's amazing the amount of time that is freed up when you are not wasting time on repetitive badge grinds. (I was gearing up 6 teams so it got really boring, really fast weeks ago when I hit a dead end in upgrades unless I began to raid) Also there are a ton of games out now so quit, and try those out. Wow will always be there if you decide to go back. What types of game do you like? There are a few gold/compilation/rerelease/game of the year edition of games that is out now or has been out for a while. Since I stopped playing wow, I've had time to dabble in the following:

RPG - Fallout 3 game of the year edition (modded out to the gills, I played it before and it was alright, but with all the mods you can add to customize this game it's like a new game almost), trying witcher enhanced edition director's cut, Dragon Age Origins

Strategy - King's bounty: Armored Princess (if you liked the heroes of might and magic series, you'll probably like this)

FPS - Borderlands (think diablo 2 but in first person shooter mode, post apocalypse mad max type setting. also multiplayer), moder warfare 2, and left 4 dead 2 (except I spent $60 on this silly game only to have it not work in my setup. Waited for 5 days for a reply from steam/valve tech support only to have them say "your setup looks fine. nothing wrong on your end. known issue. wait for developer to patch it. no known eta. thanks for playing. bye." This was about 2 weeks ago. ><

Random type - Force Unleashed sith edition

Adventure - Tales of monkey island (final episode is out now)

Console - Soul Calibur 4 (used is on sale now for like less than $30. I just like it because of the expanded create your own fighter option. People have done some pretty good recreations of characters like various star wars character, comic book heroes, jesus, obama, ronald mcdonald, napolean dynamite, etc. it can be kind of funny)


But yeah. Like I said; it's amazing the amount of free time that opens up when you are not playing wow like a job. (I might have gone overboard with the 6 teams that I was badge farming for, not counting the other assorted 80 toons that were being spoon fed BoE epics and craftables.)

anyways, good luck to you whichever way you go. Just my personal experience with quitting wow (also it's a small thing. but the change in authenticator login kind of tipped me over the edge because I was already bored with the game. having to wait 10-15 seconds between each account logon is annoying as hell to me)
