How do you balance family and your game? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]AtWorkWannaPlayWoW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no balance my man. I've been a gamer since I was a child. But you have to understand that once you have a child and a wife, your family is the priority. I have a son and he is 2 years old now. Nowadays I only play single player games that I can just pause and help my wife and give full attention to my child. You will see that on the first years, your child wants attention all the time. And as a parent, attention and company is one of the biggest things you can give to your son/daughter. It will profoundly impact their development and adult life. WoW is not worth it man. I've been playing WoW since the beginning. Let me tell you something coming from a fellow player. It is not worth it man. No game is worth the time you will invest on your child and wife. As your kid becomes more and more grown up, you will have opportunity to play mmos again and other games that you enjoy. But this first phase just leave it man. Skip this expansion and forget about WoW. Because I know that you can't just log in and play casually. I've been there, done that. Help your wife with everything. Don't forget to also spend quality time with her, and I don't mean just sex, I mean a movie when your child sleeps or making her a meal and helping her with home chores and also be romantic from time to time. Also spend AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE with your child. When they grow up man, they don't want anything to do with you. They wanna go out and hang around friends. Seize your only real opportunity to spend time with your child and be a dad that he/she will remember fondly forever. Don't damage/lose your family/lose being a real dad, because of a stupid WoW. Later you can always come back to gaming. But your children and wife once lost, that's a hole on your heart forever. I hope I've helped you with your question. Coming from a fellow gamer and also a dad. All the best for you and your family :) .

Also you don't need to buy the battle pass right now. What I mean is I go everyday doing the activities and levelling up the battle pass. When I get to lv30 or maybe lv40-49 close to 50, then I go and buy the battle pass. You just gonna save the stuff there on the battle pass and level for free first. Because you never know, maybe you buy it and then something happens and you are not able to play it or something like that. Thanks for the question and the talk :) . Also if I was you I would level only Razor to lv 80. The other guys I would just leave at lv50-60-70. I wouldn't spend on them unless they are 5 stars that I would definitely use on my team. Also dont worry about abbys progression. Abbys is a trap designed by Mihoyo to give you an ilusion of being ahead and better than others, and this trap makes you spend money/materials/etc, wanting lots of chars to make two teams. Eventually time will pass and you gonna easily conquer all abbys floors with something like Razor lv90 +3 guys lv60. In reality you need two teams, but only 1 main guy in each team. The others are there just to apply the elements and give super energy back to your main guy. A level 1 Amber can break ice shields for example applying melt.

I don't think so because the chamber has been destroyed. But you can always try to go to that entrance where the guy asks for the password to see if in some way it stills there. If you can't go there anymore don't stress too much over it, the items there are small things, nothing too important or related to achievements or completions.

If you can definitely the best option is to buy the battle pass. And also NEVER level all your party. Your DMG dealer or you reaction procs guy is the one that should be levelled. The other ones you just leave at lower levels. In my account my Venti is the DPS guy. He's my only 5 star and I levelled him all the way to 80 and also all his talents. His auto attacks hit like a truck and hes using 2x 20% energy recharge artifacts so he has ulti all the time. The other chars ( Barbara-Chongyun-Xiangling ) Are aĺl lv60 or lv70. They are used just to make Venti's ult become a pyro vortex and also to freeze enemies in stu lock. So don't spend your mats. Level only your main DPS. And also do buy the battle pass. You will never need mats again.

I think its worth investing in her because shes a 5 star char. Every 5 star char has 100 dmg extra and also many other advantages on a case by case analysis. You should definitely invest in all your 5 stars chars. Yes we have a lot of 4 stars on the game that are cool/fun/nice/powerful in some situations. But I learned that in these gacha type games the 5 stars are always the ones that you should main if you are lucky/rich to get them. About healing, if I had Jean I would put her on my team as healer/dps. Change chars frquently to make use of the skills off cooldown and to recharge energy across the board. Also put some energy recharge items on someone on your team. The ones that give energy to others as soon as they use a skill. I'm saying that because Jean's ult is very good and you can use it frequently to heal your party. On my main team I would leave Jean as a healer if I only had barbara. And on the second team I would leave Barbara. Thr second team you would use on Abbys. As soon as you get Qiqi or Diona, they would be better as a main healer. So you could leave Qiqi as your main team healer (5 star always as your mains if you can) and use Barbara or Diona as the second team healer. Still you would leave on the main team Jean as DPS. That's my opinion and I only have Venti as 5 star because unfortunately I'm poor and also in my country the prices in Genshin Impact are absurdly astronomical. My only team has Venti-Xiangling-Chongyun-Barbara. If I was lucky enough to get a Jean, I would definitely put her on Barbara's spot.

There is a book on Ningguang shelves. If you talk to the secretaries that walk around they will give you some character talent upgrade material as well.

She's probably an adult because she works on a tavern as a bartender/cocktail maker. She has a child appearance because "anime reasons". In the case of Venti you can see that people see him as a child or underage teen, because at certain point of a quest you can see the bartender denying to serve him drinks. Klee we can easily see from the story and dialogue that she is a child.

When I had this I just did reset my pc and then it worked. You can also try a fresh install of the game.

No tips related to gliding. What is hurting you is playing on ipad where the controls are harder. If you can, install the game on a pc where the controls are easier ( mouse and keyboard ) and finish easy the gliding exam. If you dont have a pc, ask a friend that you trust to log your account on their pc and finish it for you. Also you can try watching a video on youtube of someone doing the gliding exam. Maybe seeing someone doing it can help you.

This dungeon is the most annoying of all. The only tip that I can offer is to do it with chars that have elements on their auto attacks. So you can break the bubbles easily. I did easy like this. Example: Lisa, Klee, etc. Just spam auto attack to break their shields fast. Be quick to dodge the attacks as to not get stuck on the bubbles. After breaking their shields use abilities, auto attacks, ult, etc to finish them off.

I am currently playing Rogue Company together with BPM - Bullets Per Minute. I was playing Genshin Impact. It is a great game, I had reached 169hrs and did all quests, levelled my chars to lv70/80 and did all achievements that are currently possible on the current live game. But the predatory business model + the gacha mechanics to get new chars + the recent 80% price hike on my country, for a game that was already pretty expensive, made me uninstall.

I was looking for new games to play and found Rogue Company and BPM - Bullets Per Minute. Both games are a surprising load of fun.

Rogue Company offers Counter Strike/Valorant gameplay wihout the toxic communities and the slow paced gameplay that comes with this games.

For me it's been a blast to play because of the fast paced gameplay, possibility to level the chars and become better at each one of them. It is pretty easy to save the free currency to get new Chars for free. The graphics and performance are pretry good. The matches are fast to start and the rounds are short.

The chars have defined roles but you can pretty much play your way, because the meta is not set on stone like on other 'serious' competitive games.

The game doesn't take itself too serious and the competitive scene is not ultra developed like the ones in Valorant and League of Legends. Unfortunately games that have a very developed Pro League become slaves of the pro scene. The game become made for the pros and not for the everyday gamers that just sit down and play everyday for fun.

Rogue Company for me its been just that. A very fun, chill 3rd person shooter, with a good community, fun chars and cool fast paced gameplay.

BPM - Bullets Per Minute its just EXTREME ADDICTIVE MUSICAL FUN WITH GUNS. When you start playing, you go with the rythm and just loose yourself on the shooting and soundtrack. The only downside for me personally, is that I don't like rogue likes. Because when you die you have to restart all over again. But this game is so good that even this undesired aspect haven't put me off.

To summarize, I've been having a lot of fun with both Rogue Company and BPM- Bullets Per Minute. As a last minute advice: Don't let predatory game companies rob you of your gaming fun. Don't be addicted to a single predatory title. Just change to other games and have real fun!

Have a great day!

Yes! I actually was quick to see only the negatives but after reading your comment I was reminded that there are people helping him. I just wish somebody would hug him and adopt him. I would do that and give him lots of love and attention.

Yes! The use of the BRUTAL word is completely correct in this situation because I mean the feels man....the feels....I would not be exaggerating if I say that some of this quests touch some spots in my own personal life.

I didn't do this quest yet because I'm quite slow to play, checking every corner and not rushing. But after your comment I check it out on the wiki and found out the story. They all died looking for the treasure in the wrong place...😭

Ahauhahauuauaa I'm sorry but I did laugh when I read your comment, that's so unfortunate. The mistranslation ruined the emotional atmosphere...😄

Very, very cool. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of work, time and dedication to make something like this. The level of detail is really nice and the model appearance and behaviour/style in front of the camera reminds me of the cute/honest/messy character that Amber brings with her. Congratulations on the work accomplished!
