It's also another game being mismanaged by IGP, so why bother?

I don't get burned out, but then I'm capable of pacing myself and only play 6 or so matches a day.

Playing hours a day at anything will do that to you.

I've stopped playing and spending money, not from burn-out or enough maps. But simply I'm tired of the missile mis-management. Missiles are a problem, the devs know they're a problem but don't have the balls to fix it. Once they fix it I will come back and start spending money again.

Possibly, but I think it is more likely he just played the game... A lot.


Combination of both... Spent probably some $250...

All hero and founders mechs purchased, premium time activated makes cash very easy...

Left with just 55mc

Joined a merc corp, played the meta etc etc

Not enough in the game yet to keep me on...

Got steam games from last christmas sale to play..

CW cannot come too soon

Whenever I get a flameout I have to eject. We lose the plane but it leaves more time for volleyball.

The game is in beta, content is going to be slow in coming. When i get burnt out, i spend time with my girlfriend. That usually lasts 1 day and i am back in front of the computer again.

Burnout happens. Quite a few units are having this issue. We will see what March brings...

Yes

One key sign that I am burning out is when I get leap past frustration with game elements to fully pissed off.

When this happens I stop playing for two to three days and do some thing else.

Like play other games, go see a move, spend more time reading, and walk more often around my city.

I have varied my routine a lot with these types of things so I am burning out less.

Yeah, burn out is a big problem.

Some may call this a full game but when you consider the vision for it, it's really the skeletal system for a game. And it's hard to wait that long.

You're not alone Rex. Like others have said, there is very little content here for an F2P MMO thing. It's just TDM/Base Defense or Conquest. Sure there are plenty of mechs, but only a few are currently competitive. Now that class matching no longer exists, there really is NO reason to take any of the mediums when you can take a splatcat. There is no reason to take anything but a RVN-3L in the light class, but that has been true for awhile. The assault and heavy classes have more variety but not much more. The same maps over and over with one entirely new map every 6 months. Now I'm depressed. :(

I know what it is for me currently; that I have to pay $30 for another mc bundle (for one mech) or grind 12 million isk er I mean cbills to get two more atlasses to open the mid range of pilot tree. Thats a task that limits me to like a game or two a day cause once I realize that I turn off the game and play borderlands 2 or farcry 3 or skyrim till I forget about the grind I have and want to play a match again

maybe ill make an alt account to get that cbil bump you get to start with just to play in the mechs I want.

Play skyrim for a bit, it'll distract you for a while. It's also an entirely different type of game. It's easy to balance the two, I'm doing that right now.
