Hey, OP! Hope things are better!
I have rediscovered fun in game, as I started running my Strider full time again...and now, I’m thinking of my unused hangar2 to become a fast and furious hangar.....fun, maybe not some win and destroy hangar, but a Blitz, Loki, Phantom and Strider to start would be a hoot!
Anyways, find your fun, or take a break....be good to you!

Logged in for 5-6 games and didn't even have a good time. If I'm playing a game and not enjoying myself, what's the point again? I should just wait more right?
PS anybody who uses blow jun is kind of ?really happy?
And the devs are really 「really happy」 for making bubbles (but I don't mind retribution)
leech is beyond 「really happy」

Hey, OP! Hope things are better! I have rediscovered fun in game, as I started running my Strider full time again...and now, I’m thinking of my unused hangar2 to become a fast and furious hangar.....fun, maybe not some win and destroy hangar, but a Blitz, Loki, Phantom and Strider to start would be a hoot! Anyways, find your fun, or take a break....be good to you! Hey green! Thanks! I thought about trying some fun builds too, but the main mishaps (invincibility sequence) remain present. I understand some people find satisfaction and fun in their own victories and challenges (being first even if loosing, or killing a particular red, whatever) Is funny how many of us have to bend over backwards in order find ways to have fun and purpose by going around all the bizarre intricacies the game has developed. Resorting to personal little games inside the game and even complete leagues like 6P. That can only mean that we deeply love the core gameplay but it has relentlessly evolved into something we just can’t enjoy in its present form. During this period after quitting and looking at things from more of an outsider point of view, I’ve been overwhelmed by realization after realization of how twisted and bizarre everything surrounding that beloved core gameplay is. We get so involved that even tho we notice all the crap, we keep numb through it all...(Addiction behavior). Many things would have to change for me to come back, I’m pretty sure they won’t change, I feel nauseous at the first thought of trying a match seeing the same big clan tags and names, and all the unfairness, the rampant invincibility tricks and indiscriminate green phildos consumption, the OPness of some players, the ineptitude of many other players and the list goes on for too long. Be good to you too my friend...cheers

Best of luck, Pilot. I walked away for over a year. Still can't play my main account, but I find some pleasure in playing my Smurf account down in Gold I. I don't see as much of the high tech stuff down there. I quite often have my 「bum-bum」 handed to me inside of three minutes, but occasionally I am top player. Those matches make it worthwhile for me.
I hope you find your happy spot. Hope to see you in the arena soon.

Yesterday I swapped out my heavier hitters with some smaller guys so I'm forced to play a less aggressive game. Reduced expectations leads to fewer frustrations.

Because for me, I still see it as just a game with some entertainment value. I've been obsessed with giant robots all through my childhood. Heck, like many here, I grew up watching shows like Robotech, Grandizer, Gai King, heck even Voltron (both versions), and yes, Transformers. Now, I have a game where I can pilot giant robots and for the most part, I like the mechanics. I don't have good hand eye coordination anymore (never really did), so I can't really play games like Fortnite or PUBG. Do I like all the changes in the game? No. But for me, it hasn't gotten to the point where I hate it more than I like it. I spend most of my money looking after my family. Got two teenagers who will be going to university way too soon. Got some home renovations coming up next month. I don't smoke, drink only sporatically and don't actually have any other hobbies. So, I don't mind the money I spend on the game, as long as I don't go overboard. I have bad days like everyone else, and I come here to talk/vent/rant/chat about it with others like me. It's a form of group therapy. We are in very similar situations, loved ROBOTECH so much I even had a crush on 1st Lt. Misa Hayase lol. But I do drink more often and enjoy some other hobbies, game wise I like warplanes simulations better, I think we should all break from this addiction that is doing most of us more harm than good, I do hate it more than I like it. I’m gonna dedicate more time to those hobbies and keep around the forum just for giggles. Maybe I’ll play from time to time just as I seldom smoke to remind me of how much it stinks and sucks... Off topic... I never saw ROBOTECH, but I did have a huge crush on Trixi from Speed Racer...

Not sure this is a rant, more like a sad reckoning... Today I had second thoughts on login in. I did it just to get my mornin fix, then the ?dookie? show started, I just left circus matches after circus matches, I felt no joy or purpose to keep playing something so ridiculously twisted and bizarre. I think this is it... I feel ya man. Peak times are just plain stupid. I’m not quite to where you are, but one more round of skill erosion and the game appeal will finally crumble for me. See ya on the other side. Maybe check out weekly skirmishes. On occasion, those are good clean fun. That whole spider stomping thing last year was a riot! Cheers and safe travels.

Thanks Rollo, I peeked at Skirmish and the very first one after I quit was no more no less than the Leech, phantom, ares all green loaded right after the new and also green loaded ops cycle launch! It spoke for itself... I know you’ve been romanticizing with the quilting idea for quite some time already. I’ll keep around to greet you at the gates of paradise buddy..good riddance!

I don’t know exactly what to say without being condescending Lyte...I guess I have no expectations to play this anymore so I’m led to no frustrations at all...

No frustration at all means you've won! I'm at three or four games a day. My Meh has become MEH!
