Sorry I need to vent.
I'm turning 38 this year, I've always played GW from the beginning and every now and then in the last years becouse you know why, we all love this game, and I don't know if this is me getting old or what, I love hard games but man this is stupid.
With this new updates I wanted to set my self a goal, try to hit GWAMM with a new hero (warrior becouse I've alwayas wanted to play one) with all challenges on but... Ok I've set the bar too high becouse solo mode + never die is kinda hard in this game, and for a grownup like me with a full time job is kinda risky, "no pressure, it will take 20 years if it has to be" I said to myself but it's already all falling apart in Pre Searing since "to make GWAMM easy" I wanted to do (never done before) the Defender of Ascalon title.
Basically I need to play in group all the time? Is this what this challenges are for, friendship?!
I've died many times becouse I pushed my self too far against charrs in the Wildlands and ok, I've learn from my mistakes and I'm still level 14 at my 3rd or 4th attempt, last time I died it was due to improbable enemy pathing or aggro mechanics, but I was stupid, I killed the first boss all the others went back to their places, I had like 100ish hp and I moved for a stupid and useless Chaar Carving that was sooooooooo far away from enemies and they aggroed me and killed me with degen, but right there I said to my self "ok the iron mode is a no go for someone like me who has a little more than a casual knowledge of the game" and I lowered my standards to "just" the solo reforged mode but...
- Making XP in pre searing is dumb, already at lvl 14 I get no xp from enemies except for bosses and with "casual daily quest" that spawns enemies on certain part of the map, this means making Defender of Ascalon will take a good amount of time (and I want to go to the main campaign so badly becouse I've done it many years ago...).
- You cannot use /bonus to get the imp, I'm stuck with the wolf pet or otherwise I'm totally alone.
- I've got around 405hp as a lvl 14 warrior (got some runes) and double degen is certain death so catacombs quest are a NO unless I've got a party.
- I'm trying to farm bosses for bags (got one of two so far) becouse we cannot use the stash, it's totally ok for me to not share items with other characters or from my own, but why you don't even let me use as a deposit bank???? With all that it's needed in the game like the material tab that has 8549058395483 stuff, ok not all is needed but maaaaaaaaaaaaaan...and especially, one slot in bag cap at 250stack? I'm already stacking up iron ore and stuff for my future armor but I'm afraid the bag slot will cap at 250 right?
- All this challenges are named by the gods and we miss some so far, and they are in alpha\beta state so there will be more? I'm doing it too early?
So the plan for now is, play this awesome fucking game, enjoy the ride and make some knowledge to get back and make GWAMM properly in a (probably very distant) future.
Cheers all^^
edit: The main "raging factor" right now is how "boring and long" it will take to get Defender of Ascalon, should I just try one more time and get maybe at level 10ish and then go to normal campaign? I will surely die before GWAMM but at least I can try :p
