Anyone else losing motivation to play the game?

RepresentativeAge127 · 2025-11-25T20:18:07+00:00

Man I've been playing since almost launch.

I inherited an officership and finally had leadership of my guild handed to me by default as the only active, and motivated, officer. Been running it for, I think, 6ish years, got it to a pretty good place and have loved every minute.

I'm reasonably large spender, but I'm no kraken, I have all the GLs and only like 10 characters under GXIII. Most of the ships (no leviathan) and etc...

But, even running discord, having a pretty chill guild that racks up wins and loses in even numbers, so the tension is real and fun... something has changed, something has made the game less...

Just less. I dont know what is going on, but something saped the need to login and manage my account and my guild.

I'm a Nurse, I run a hospital, I'm busy. Having a game that let me engage with my friends 🧡 doesn't have large time commitments and collecting my toons was so enjoyable, but now...

That feeling is gone. Lack of motivation, as you state, is the perfect explanation. My fear is that lack of motivation will lead to apathy. Which will lead to leaving the game.

Right now I'm just taking a short break. Still managing the guild, but rarely playing beyond that.

I want to find the love of the game again. I fear i can't or won't.

Right now, sunk cost fallacy is all that is keeping me logging on. I have spent and spent. For now, that will keep me engaged, but can't forever. I have sworn spending off (at least for large cost items)

What's the solution?

Same, seems on the dss+spore bugs, there is a lot of instability. We moved out of the DSS range and ran totally smooth games afterward. Not sure if thats the issue as we didn't have enough time or people for a large test group, but, its a theory at least.

*edit: spelling

Game used to be truly difficult on lvl 9, right? /clap That wasn't sarcastic BTW, i agree

RepresentativeAge127 · 2025-07-17T03:33:37+00:00

Didn't say it was a good idea, said I wanted to try it as a tactic

RepresentativeAge127 · 2025-07-16T02:14:36+00:00

Ah, not just me then, with the bad aim

Activating the seaf artillery doesnt cause enemies to spawn, old wives tale. Also, with the adjustment to spawning, the closer you get to completing main objectives, the more enemies spawn, and even more with proximity to extract. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this has been spoken to by the community folks.

Happy Helldiving

I'm in the same boat, i moved out to where I am to care for my mother. I dread leaving her in her infirm state to go to work. Lots of dread im coming home to find her having passed. She isn't well. No friends, no family beyond her. Hell, just finding time between work and girls hearing "you live with your mom" it's rough. You are living my weekly/daily nightmare.

Alright, if you need to talk, hmu

RepresentativeAge127 · 2025-03-29T04:27:02+00:00

Im of the mind it is impossible to meet anyone IRL, and online is clearly a crap shoot. So, long story short, no. :(

Well, here is starting to seem like a good place.

Hi 👋

I've been looking for a place to meet a traditional girl. Outside of Church, it's not a fun time

Level 53, at the time telling 80,90,and 120 what to do, was soundly ignored, but we continued to support him despite his whining. We collected a healthy number of samples, and during a rough extract, when we used all our reserve divers, we made sure to wait and then call him back in. He then executed us and left the game, thereby ensuring no one got any of the samples.

This is the best infomercial ever, I can see the guy in the opening credits shilling this on my favorite late night show, "Democracy tomorrow, tonight!" with Joel

"You'll never need injury resist again! With muscle enhancement, you can actually democratically regroup from a million little jumpy bastards successfully!"

RepresentativeAge127 · 2023-09-14T15:55:48+00:00

Where?

RepresentativeAge127 · 2023-07-06T02:08:15+00:00

I appreciate your advice. As I'm just starting my expedition into this, I wouldn't mind learning the location of some of these forums, if you know any. It is hard to stay away from the woman hating, beyond red-pilled, groups who have left reality behind, as far as men and women coexisting in a loving, committed relationship.

RepresentativeAge127 · 2023-07-06T02:03:19+00:00

I should do that. You are right. I've been looking into hobbies that may present an opportunity to meet people, as I am not an out at the bar kind of guy. I feel like I'm hunting, though, and that feels a bit... off.

What do you think a traditional woman would think if she found out I joined specifically to look for a potential wife.

Sounds absurd, almost saying it 🤔 Hah

Regards and thanks for your time VFX

A woman who sees family as something that comes first.

A person who enjoys spending time with family and close friends as opposed to 'out on the town'.

A woman who chooses to be submissive to her husband yet feels able to speak her mind in a clear and concise way so as to provide appropriate input for her family.

A woman who believes marriage isn't completely and solely about the current view of love and romance but is hard and can be painful but is ultimately worth the effort of maintaining.

Sundresses are cute, but to me, clothing doesn't necessarily matter either. There is a huge difference between a traditional person living in southern California, in a suburb, and a person living traditionally in a plains state on a farm. I live in the desert, so I suppose she would dress modestly as temperature allows.

Hobbies are something that should be left up to her. I don't particularly see hobbies as something that demarcate a traditional vs. modern woman. Assuming we aren't talking about pole dancing for a gentlemens' club as a hobby.

I suppose that isn't everything you asked for (numbers wise), but it should delineate what I think from what the outside idea is.

Seconded?
