I reinstalled and resubscribed to FFXIV and started trying to catch my character up, but then fairly quickly remembered why I had stopped playing in the first place after spending several hours in queue for various dungeons, trials, and raids to try to advance the story or just gear up to be ready for the next patch.
This isn't as bad when you're doing things as current content, and the queues are not as long because everyone is doing those particular dungeons, but it's definitely a lot worse when you are trying to get caught up. I do love the characters and the story, but I just don't think it fits my play style very well right now.
I also started leveling a Barbarian through the new season in Diablo 4, but I found there wasn't much to get me very excited, so I put that down as well. One can only do so many Helltides before it starts to get a bit dull, especially now that the rifts from last season are gone.
In Elder Scrolls Online, I started finishing up the remaining quests and other tasks for the Solstice zone and am almost done with it. I never did finish the main story quest for the zone, as there is some kind of one-hit mechanic on the fight at the very end that kept getting the best of me. I tried it about 7-8 times, following the advice I saw on various threads to always keep moving, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. If I see that they've adjusted the fight down the road, I might go back and give it another try; otherwise, that one is just going to sit there for a bit. The other piece of the Solstice zone story has been good, though!
I've also noticed that my Magplar doesn't seem as strong as he used to be, so I'm not sure if something got nerfed there while I wasn't playing.
In Guild Wars 2, I've also started running my mechanist through the newest expansion, which has been going really well so far, so I'll keep at that until the latest World of Warcraft content hits shortly.
That's the update for now.
Cheers,
Joar
