The Content Drought and How to Survive it

[SturmChurro]

I started playing through The Witcher trilogy again, hadn't played 3 since 2016, and hadn't played 1 and 2 since 2015, so they are pretty fresh for me. That's like 200+ hours of gameplay.

I can't believe it's already been four years since The Witcher 3 was released. How time flies!

It's actually been over 5 years, it really has been a... long time. Crazy to think about how time flies looking back. Not so much going forward with FFXIV's content drought..

I'm still playing through Witcher 1 right now, and the game has almost felt new (well the story, gameplay is a bit.. archaic). I'm hoping because of the amount of years that's passed that when I eventually get to Witcher 3 it'll feel really fresh.

In general, with my time within FFXIV, I use Trello (any organizer will do) to set up a lot of things I want to do, write them out, and make small incremental steps on doing them. I never get bored of FFXIV, because there's always stuff I want to do, and I can usually pivot on whatever suits my mood.

Sometimes, the spontaneous can upend things. Because of the fast RW queues, I've been trying to get 5 wins a day. This week I have almost an 80% winrate at 30 games so far which means I've been making good progress. :O

I've been catching up on other games that I've bought and never played or finished. I've gone through Tales of Berseria and Nier Automata and now working on Dad of BoyGod of War.

Honestly this drought has been great for my friends and my FC. Everyone is trying out new classes and doing random things they wouldn't have before. We all still raid together two days a week. Personally I myself don't have much to do so I usually get on to check buffs for everyone and have been catching up on my backlog.

I guess I'm an oddball because I still haven't made it to the second dungeon in Shadowbringers and I've had it since it was released. On top of that I don't have a single class at 80. I take frequent breaks from the game to not suffer burnout and to allow the content to build up so I don't just burn through it in one go.
