So instead of rehash the things players may find boring ect. I have an idea based off some other videos for other games giving suggestions for things to do when bored and passing time in a game (mainly MMORPG's but still...)

Me? My go to is, I run a few stock builds in QP once in awhile and it does make things a bit more engaging then the standard meta alpha builds.

When I get bored, I waddle around in my Cyclops and be an engine of absolute destruction. Always puts a smile on my face.

When I get bored in MWO I play Planetside 2. Which is 99% of the year.

Play something else.

Like Divinity Original Sin 2 (which is a really awesome game)

I don’t get bored with MWO often but when I do I usually just log off and do something else. If my light mechs don’t keep my attention then it’s probably time to quit for the night.

Play guitar/trumpet/saxophone, clean the house, go have a drink with friends, play with my cats, cook something, read a book... plenty to do.

Run Gauss Urbanmechs.

Listen to true crime podcasts or documentaries.

I just spend my game time spreadsheeting instead.

Or I go play UT4 or MWLL for a month.

Conan Exiles is surprisingly entertaining.

I play tabletop with some friends.

I have a few games I play with my wife - sometimes we bust out the old Wii and play Light Bikes in Tron.

One of my cats has gone to war with me over him getting on the top of the door jam. The last 6 months has been a daily engineering challenge to devise a means to keep him off of it. He's good at complex problem solving and he will go sit and examine what I've put in place to stop him then find a way to disassemble it, then jump up, get stuck and howl for help.

I stay pretty busy.

Edit - also check the page for Bannerlord 3x a day, cuz I want that game so bad I don't even.

When bored I used to play in the mechlab and buy and build new variants even if I had no intention of playing them. I used to then forum warrior about build potential and redundancies between chassis in the new player or battlemech section of the forums to get a feel for what others were playing and doing.

Alas, all the balance passes and monthly nerfings took the fun out of that. What little down time I have in game now I spend just trying to keep my existing mechs current. Now I just play in the evenings and since I don’t have time for more than a few matches a night (on those nights I can play at all) I don’t really get bored (irritated at the state of things, disdainful yet sad regarding PGI’s attitude conduct in addressing that state, about it but not bored).

Edit:

Also I drink. So there is that.

Grab another beer, and hop into a lolcust. Even the bad games are entertaining when your drunk driving.

Tweet Russ and remind him that the new map is fourteen days out, as promised, and we still haven't seen a screen shot of work in progress. I'm starting to get a little worried.

Put 13 tons of machine gun ammo in an Arrow.

MekHQ. Currently running Operation Rogue Wave, an Ice Hellion invasion of the Inner Sphere in 2990. I've taken most of the Chainelaine Isles as of Sept 2991, now have my sights set on the Lyran frontier. I would stream this instead of MWO but MekHQ/MegaMek and OBS hate each other.

[Alan Hicks]

Easy, I just quit the game and find something better to do. After all this time I just play MWO when I have the patience of a saint.

Happy time is everywhere.
