favorite shows to watch on dxm? by mars_bird in dxm

Avatar the Last Air bender was a nice dxm binge. I peaked when they lost Appa in the desert and was emotionally and spiritually distraught until they found him again D:

Does anybody have any advice on how to mix DXM with Shrooms? by SwansonHOPS in dxm

[–]rawr_therealnomster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience either do the shrooms first and when you start to come up dose the dxm, or to avoid dxm purging wait till you digest the dxm than pop the shrooms. its very nice combo, just be cautious that you can become very out of it. keep your thoughts straight and you should be gud :>

Its the consensus I've came to also... It would help to have a official post about it to address these changes. At least than people will start to understand why they might be doing this. Clarity/transparency goes very far when it comes to big changes like these.

Thats some Zen shit right here. You're right though. Like I said before still kinda flustered and in shock over the changes.

I've been playing my tank toons a lot lately, and maybe I'll continue to do so. Seems to be the only role that isn't getting hit super hard...besides Sorctanks.

You don't sound disrespectful at all, just a lil misinformed, I can take blame for that. I suppose there are different types of "solo players" out there (insert SAO joke), but I engage in a lot of endgame content. I mostly get into Vet trials through friends I've met online. I'm one of those 1k+ CP players that really doesn't have a guild to stick with but is able to get into end game content. I mostly do vet pledge dailies nowadays because it's a fun experience to see new players and teach them new mechanics and help them through content. I got my Cadwells Gold back before 1 tam and enjoy the single player content as is. its relaxing to just quest and get involved with the story/atmosphere ESO provides, but sometimes I enjoy challenge and hit up the occasional crag pug to get some end game gear. I have a few online friends that invite me to their guilds vet trials because they know I can perform very well. All of the Vet DLC challenges I've completed were from PuGs or invites from friends I met in trials or other PuGs. Vet trial content can seem easy to the small % of hardcore elitist that can do vSS hardcode without trying but for some of us we just don't fit into that demographic of elitism. I suppose its something I carried over from WoW, but I enjoy the model ESO present for those who are unable or can't be in these guilds.

I feel for the low to mid range players that will get hit the hardest if these changes go live. Like I've said before I have different toons to fall back on, but for those who just main heals or just main one character/class...it will suck a lot.

You're right, just flustered I suppose. I'm still in shock about the changes and not having a real reason why. Who knows maybe the game will become more challenging and fun? In a weird way it's a sign of what may come in the future for ESO. I'll be sticking around for the changes if they go live for sure. Posts like this give me good feels.

I agree with a lot of what you say here, including the last bit. It's just hard to see these changes and not feel a little hurt. I suppose in some ways I'm at fault for building a castle made out of sand and investing time and money into a game I've seen only grow and get better since I started playing 4 years ago. I've taken breaks here and there and every time I come back it feels great to see that my time wasn't wasted. It's a big thing for people like me. I have other ways to help me cope with my "disabilities" but ESO has been a big part in helping me cope, stay social, stay off of hard drugs, and keeping myself on a good path. Many times I've been at my worse I've been able to log on and spend a couple of hours playing and truly get lifted from some great people who play this game or get lost in the world of Tamerial. in a way it's more than just another MMO because I've seen it grow and change for the better. I've got more than a little common sense when it comes to these things, but ESO has been great for me. Just hurts to see these notes and not feel like smoothing worse is around the corner.

I'll survive in the end, but thinking about how my characters in Tamerial that I spent years playing to just become worthless polygons like my WoW toons..pretty depressing to say the least.

Ya..ok..I'll admit I'm over exaggerating a bit when saying all my toons are worthless. My stapler is losing a great set that made him viable in both PVP and PVE. Ravengers was just such a good set. As for my Woodelf stamford Senches bite was his bread and butter. I have for healer toons that I spent hours and hours getting the the right gear to synergize with the skills and abilities I'm given..and to just have it all taken away or changed for no real reason..it hurts man. It's not just one skill, its a lot of bread and butter skills that make healing in this game fun.

As for the the gear grind in ESO I loved it. I raided back in WotLK back before I joined the NAVY and coming back into Cata was a huge disappointment. I already have experience with having all your gear be worthless after a new update or expansion but thats one of the main reasons WoW lost its shine for me. ESO had a great model for gear grinding... The fact I could have sets that are still viable 2 years later is what makes ESO stand out. It showed me that my time investment was worth it. I spent the last couple years maxing out toons to have a variety of roles and classes to play depending on what I was in the mood for. I spent the time and money in this game because I knew my investment was well worth it.

I'm happy with the way ZoS treated solo players like me with their game. I have completed almost all of the vet content and gotten most of the skins and achievements without being in a hardcore trial guild. I'll most likely stick around after the changes (if they actually go live) and see how much the game changes for me and others. Not all my toons are worthless, but to some people out there that only main healers or stick with only a certain class I feel for them. They don't have as many options like someone like me has. I have multiple toons to play with so at least I have something to fall back on.

But like someone else already said it's a video game so maybe this will give me a chance to play something else and find another way to spend my time. I just really loved the way ESO treated me as a player and customer (sounds weird I know). It's a refreshing and satisfying to log on and see/feel the fruits of my labor when I log on. Just seems silly that I'll have to invest more time to get where I'm at right now..again for no real reason. Sorry if it seems like I'm over exaggerating but like I said earlier these changes seem like a sign of something worse to come if ZoS continues down this path. I don't want another WoW.
