Bored? Here are some things you can do.

[Mactavendish]

So many say they are bored, and post long walls of text on how the game does not do this or that, and how they broke their promises and yadda yadda yadda...

what seems odd to me is, I don't have enough time to do everything I am trying to accomplish. If you look at this game as ONLY a pvp game you are already limiting many things you CAN do. This is a sandbox... You can build castles, or cities, you can make a well known name for yourself by your actions, ( or even become Infamous - Heya ddt ), YOU can create things for other to do.

So Let me list a few things you can do that may take some of your boredom away.

1. Join a tribe.

Yeah, I know your a lone wolf and you don't play well with others, but the grind that a homesteader subjects themselves to is a major cause for anyone to get discouraged.

This game is designed around the tribe. It does not have to be a lot, just 2-3 that can help support each other and even get a bit more room to work with. And even though more hands make the work easier, it won't add to boredom, it will enhance your fun because you will not be focused on those things you can't do, but will focus on more things you want and CAN do.

2. Work on figuring out how to make HIGH Durability tools or weapons.

This alone will keep anyone occupied for a long time. If you enjoy crafting this will be very entertaining, since even a lvl 20 toolcrafter can make HQ/HD tools if they figure out the "trick" ;)

3. Become all you can be.

This game requires a variety ok skills and abilities at very high levels to creat the best gear. To make VHQ/VHD tools require vhq resources. So, are you a lvl 90+ scavenger? hows your foraging? Can you make vhq handles? If not, you have PLENTY to do.

4. Remember Conflict may be coming, but it is not everything even in this game.

Many side of this game are never mentioned, because folks believe that ONLY conflict drives need. This is not true. Risk v.s Reward can be had even by so called carebears that NEVER pvp. Example: The need for Bone armor to survive an attack from a Pk'r, will drive a PvE player to trade for vhq/vhd armors made by others that can hunt these fearsome beasties that have the needed resources. So, they risk contact and losing their stuff to go trade with a plave near the mist that happens to have this armor... then the recieve the reward of greater protection.

Think outside .. AND inside the box

and make sure the tribe you join has a big project otherwise you'll sit there and play with your anus

Not enough time to do what you want.Took the words right out of my mouth im no where near where i want to be.Will be at least 2 mone months till I am so im plenty busy.

1: okay
2: leftclick 1000000 times to get maxxed skill, gather ( left click) 10000 ressources to get it. Use the best materials, which needs some experience but isn't that hard
3: repeat 2 over and over ( skillcap anyone ?)
4: good example with bone the rest can be nearly farmed in perma safe area thanks to step 1

Pointless with an artefical safe systems were people have no influence of. Gates are missing. We have our tribe next to people but they have every possible ressource inside there camp




But the Dev is updating the game so i guess i only need to wait abit to have what i want the first combat changes are really cool

[Mactavendish]

Thraz, we have plenty by making many small projects and having folks supply their own resources...

[Hanover]

blah blah

You can also move piles of lumber around your camp for a equally rewarding session.

Mac...it's almost pointless to make a positive post...there are way too many people who'll be damned if they're going to play the game, but they'll also be damned if they're going to let anyone else enjoy it either.

Oddly enough, most of them are still hanging around here on the forums instead of playing that super-secret magical sandbox game that has it all figure dout...so Xsyon is doing something right.

[Hanover]

The simple fact this thread was even created speaks volumes. "Bored? Here are some things you can do. "

Xsyon needs change to improve, not acceptance.

Maybe because the game has nice potential which only needs to patched in ?

The thing is people bought this game with the features list in mind at the homepage. Many of this stuff is missing to add a meaningful content. If you enjoy left click over and over for nothing than its fine. BUT the Dev is communicating very well and the latest changes to combat and the fixes to the tech. problems shows that we can hope


Only because its a Indy game doesn't mean you are not allowed to tell your opinion

[ColonelTEE3]

Dev spoke of skillcaps, of our being put into focused areas of crafting, combat, foraging, or "actions".

Why would we want to max everything if ultimately we're going to have to pick one area over the rest?

[Mactavendish]

Nope.. you guys are welcome to have your opinions just like I am welcome to.

I am just says that there is more to this game than what you enjoy. and many still seem to be discovering it despite your attempts to drive away players on the forums.

Remember new players, the forums do not EVER represent the actual playing population of ANY game. Xsyon is no exception. If it was How could we have added 4 new members to our tribe this week alone?

Would you mind pointing out what is positive in this thread? Do you think a guide to not being bored helps the game? Hardly...Those that play will see this as nonsense, those that don't a reason not to play.

I didnt know what Xsyon was before buying my first account, but saw enough potential to purchase another weeks later. (plus getting my guild to join)

You can still be a fan while criticizing and asking for change.


The "yes men" and "everythings fine types" are ultimately more damning.

I really truly feel sorry for those of you who are unsubscribed but hang around the forums bashing the game. It's sad and pathetic.

If you find ANY game boring, quit. Which many have. Don't hang around here and bitch about how boring it is.

I think it is extremely fun and will be like heroin in the future (although I don't know how addicting that truly is, never tried it nor will I ever). The game just has so much to do...you guys don't get that I guess. How else can you make something NOT clicking? We use a mouse and keyboard...stop making up lame excuses like "WE HAVE TO CLICK OMG". Ok, get a 360 controller and set up xpadder, t hen you won't have to click. You will have to press another kind of button. That's just how games are. Yes of course crafting can be made more fun, but what about resources gathering? Only so many ways to pick up grass...

Yes, right now everything you do is mostly pointless because of lack of a fun combat system, safe zones and expanded mist areas for mass territory control PvP. I say mostly pointless because it has no purpose to the current game. But it will have HUGE implications on your future power within the game. I know level 60+ players... They would own most of you in a duel and its not necessarily because they are so great but its because they dedicated themselves and now they are a high level.

I have yet to log in and say "What should I do?"

because I know ALL of it affects the future of this game.

I am always doing projects or skilling. If you are bored, just join a large tribe with only a handful of active players. You will earn your place, have lots of room to terraform, and you will literally never run out of things to do.

Well said, but like I've been saying, many people are only interested in another empty pvp-gankfest..and they won't be happy until they get it. Those, as I said earlier, are doing so well these days...

I'm not saying the game is perfect...check my posts..I'm vocal about things I think need to be fixed, but I also recognize that the team is ATTEMPTING to do something different...they're trying to build a real sandbox...not another pvp-centric gankfest...

I don't know when safezones will be gone and gates will be my only form of defense, but I'm looking forward to it and preparing for it to the best of my ability...that's what I'm doing while I'm playing...enjoying myself and preparing...

I recently unsubscribed, however I never really played in the past couple months in the first place - instead I come on to give my opinion and try to criticize constructively. Not because I hate the game and want to bash it, but because I want to see it succeed.

One of the worst things we can do as a community is stay quiet and accept the state of the game. In my opinion, Mortal Online and Darkfall Online have taken the wrong direction, moving to being a PvP game exclusively and they aren't under pressure by the community to improve the game in other ways. A large part of the community in these games are generally quiet about the lack of sandbox features that were once in the games blueprint.

I'd hate to see this game take that route, it's important for us to criticize the game so that it can hopefully succeed someday.
