Thanks for saying nice stuff about me. ^
I have CO burnout too.
I was not only having fun playing CO right up until I stopped playing it, but I was *relying* on it to have fun.. It was my go-to fun button and whenever I pushed it, fun ensued.
It was the nerfs that got me. They managed to break one of my longest running go-to fun buttons ever.
I think I never played a game so much, the same content over and over, and never got tired of it. Better yet, I was trying to shave off a millisecond of how fast it was to finish an Alurt here, and gain a fraction of some dps there. Still trying to get better at Custom Alurts and gear and I was checking my parse logs with pride.
Just a week before I stopped playing I was having the CO time of my life. I *finally* put a new Electricity build together that I really like, just got a DUC for my beloved Fire build.. Jooc and Senge were back! And I was pumped! Force was going to be my next target. Another *finally* build.
I was relying on CO to be my escape. In CO's defense, I was relying on it heavily. It was doing a great job and then the nerfs just ruined it for me. They just wouldn't stop with them. It felt like as soon as I got over one nerf I had to swallow another and it was making me mad to log on to every new one. Finally I got what felt like hit below the belt one time too many and I was like "hey, this is stupid". To keep playing, that is. Because my fun button had been replaced with a ... not fun button.
That, and, I very simply was Bored/Tired of rerolling/rethinking my dps themes which is what was taking more and more of my playtime.
Anyway, yeah. I have burnout too. Last time I logged on I had that definite burnout feeling.
Oh well.
I still like reading and talking about CO. I still like the game.
If I had better Internet I'd probably play more. I feel bad I don't log in once in awhile to help fill up some teams when I see people lfm when I'm in STO.
Oh yeah.....! So, why the unhappy face?? You aren't glad to be back? CO just isn't your thing?
