Between travel and starting a new contract (huzzah! poor Nomster doesn’t understand why she’s getting less attention from Mommy but I can do most of my work while she’s napping), I’ve been just too burned out to play WoW. By this weekend I should be eager to play – except I may be playing on my own since *someone* is eager to try Starcraft 2… I’ll probably play through the campaign but I don’t really like RTS games that much.
I’m just starting to feel that end-of-expansion bleah that everyone else was complaining about months back. I need to get my act together, down the Lich King, and then refocus for Cataclysm but… I’m just not motivated to play my main. I’m 99% sure Analogue is going to be my prime character in Cata – the paladin isn’t quite as fun, I’m not sure whether my priest or shaman will be max level, and my mage will probably be second at level cap but that’s more because of nostalgia for when she was my only real character.
I think I need a goal to work for. Probably not an achievement; perhaps just getting my priest and shaman to 80 and ready to go. We’ll see.
Ruby Sanctum was just not enough content. We need some dailies, like we had at Sunwell. And maybe some new land. Or perhaps the campaign to retake Gnomeraggon…
Ooooh you should give Starcraft 2 a try!
I thought I’d hate it at first, after all, how could a sci fi combat-type strategy ever be fun? But after the first campaign, I was hooked!
There’s an easy mode for those of us who don’t play RTS games much (or at least not the combat type ones) and it keeps the game fast paced enough to be fun, but easy enough not to be frustrating. And you can go around and unlock things, collect achievements and uncover a storyline between campaigns.
I’ve been getting tired with WoW lately and SC2’s been a really nice change of pace. And since you can play by yourself, you don’t have to worry about paying attention to a guild or to whispers.
I’m definitely planning on stealing Reversion’s computer a few times to see how I like it, and buying my own copy if it’s enough my style. Easy mode sounds good! I did enjoy playing through most of Warcraft 3 so the campaign mode, I’m definitely going to try.
I’m going to have to find another time sink if I ever do need it, SC2 sounds good. I’ll still be telling people not to play Sim City though!
