There&#8217;s just something about it that I just can&#8217;t put my finger on.<br \/>\nMaybe it&#8217;s the fact I still can&#8217;t read the freakin&#8217; quest text, or the game&#8217;s questing really is a bore.<\/p>\n<p>But I think it&#8217;s the way questing is done. It seems similar to the way Guild Wars 2 does it; it uses a bar and a percentage. Plus, combat just seems.. a bore. There&#8217;s no really exciting combat moves. And it feels like me just spamming a few buttons until the mob dies.<br \/>\nHaving a mob explode into chunks can be somewhat satisfying. But for the Warrior, there&#8217;s no *CLANG* sound when getting a Crit. Again, it feels&#8230; dull.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing I find boring (and also irritating) is the gear system. At the very start, upgrades are good. But as you progress (even when getting off the ship), you&#8217;ll run into issues where you have to literally make a choice on what is more important, such as a shield or more Assault power. Or having no Assault power and go with Crit.<br \/>\nI was told how gearing doesn&#8217;t matter until you hit 50. Then why does every single one of my chars feel.. weak once hitting Level 10 and past it? I feel like I&#8217;ll never get to 50 at this rate, due to either falling asleep due to how boring the combat system is, fed up with these constant &#8220;bad&#8221; gear upgrades, or forced to run away due to my health.<\/p>\n<p>At Level 13, it actually gets really hard for me. This is when I constantly mistake a Prime mob for a regular one. Primes are almost impossible to solo (especially ones that require a 5-man group). Usually, they will kick your ass. But when in a dimly-lit area(like a cave), for myself it&#8217;s quite hard to make out the red glow of a Prime.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nEDIT: Decided to nuke my Warrior and go with a Stalker. So far&#8230; he is freakin&#8217; awesome. His name? Deathclaw Spinehorn. My Warrior was named Deathclaw, but this guy is perfect for that name. Nothing like going all Wolverine on one&#8217;s ass. And being a Draken is a perfect race for it.<br \/>\nWhat I love about the class isn&#8217;t just the quick DPS, but his Backstab ability. Some mobs, when done at a certain angle, is an insta-kill. I can take out several mobs that are close together with this attack. Holy <strong>shit<\/strong> that&#8217;s OP!! I LOVE IT!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s Level 7 as I write this edit, which is older than my Warrior. My &#8216;main&#8217;, Benie theNOOb, holds the title of highest char (that I own) at Level 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is, but I can&#8217;t seem to find any fun or joy when questing in Wildstar.
