JR it happens to all of us as far as I can figure. When it happens to me I take a break and do something else. I come back after a few days or longer and the game is fun again.


See ya when your back.

I’ll make this too the point, so I don’t bore people with a long post.

I’m suffering serious burnout on TFC. Every time I play, it’s just been terrible. Sometimes I still have fun, but... rarely. As such, I’ve been fairly grumpy in game, and even on the forums as of late. I’m sorry to those I’ve offended. That’s the main point of the post... Also... If I end up not responding for the next week or so to people talking in game, it’s nothing personal. I just was always told if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Happy fraggin’.


i went through a phase like that before, i stopped playing tfc for about a week and got back into it through mapping , mabye you should take some down-time and come back slowly....

just a suggestion

Hehe, kinda like how you were pissed/surprised to know that EMPs kill medics with just 1?


I was getting really pissed at that, cause those emps were killing me with 75 shells alone. I started dumping off all my nails and thorwing my pack every time, and i would -still- get killed... And it's not like there were packs on the ground since i was the only offense that game.

Oh well. I'll just have to avoid Engies from now on.

Yeah I get those phases, too. When I get all grumpy I blame the friggin' n00bs because they rekindle the irritable things in me. It sucks when that happens because I'm generally a nice person and I don't like people to see me that way. Anyway when I go through a phase like that I notice that I get very, very impatient. Being impatient and so on is like an indicator or a red light telling me hey, you should take a friggin break. But a matter of fact you know the causes or irritation is fatigue. I noticed when I play my eyes don't blink at all, hehe. Your eyes can play a great toll and cause many headaches or irritability to your body let alone your brain. Of course we need to take a break because our brains/eyes shouldn't stare at a 19inch monitor or whatever for so long. Why do you think our Mom's used to tell us now to stand so close to the television. Stop playing, go out and get some fresh air, eat something or do what my little friend does....

#Beer </------ get a friggin'

Well, everyone goes through that stuff man so don't worry. I mean the admins go through more stuff so I commend them on their hard work, including Rob and Frag for putting up with me, LOL! Just kidding.

Actually... While personally i tried that and had no fun from it at all... it is so amusing to see someone else like Snag or whatever do that.

I nominate them to be my jesters. Right.

Well JR when I get burnt out on TFC I either watch some movies, play a different game (like SC or EE) or try for some outragious stat like 332 det pack kills or 147 dispenser kills or 89 med kit kills. I was so bored this saturday that I played engy, medic and pyro just to see how many daily awards I could get from those three catagories.

Still no matter what you try there are times when the game just doesn't seem fun anymore. When I get that way and still want to play some TFC, I usually head out to some newb server and get a better apreciation for playing at the Ville

We all go through it, like JD said. Bottom line is if it isn't FUN then don't do it, because games are supposed to be fun entertainment. If it isn't fun now, do some other form of entertainment for a bit.

I've been trying to have fun by concing around alot... for some reason flying gives me fun, but there are no league maps except a occasional one on 9, so the only thing i can conc on and still play is Badlands and well, and well i still get rocketed easy, and badlands, You conc, only to hear a symphony of sniper rifles go off. At least one of the thirty million will hit you... One of the reasons i've been getting burnt out. I've been denied my fun by snipers. :/

You dont see me in game very often because no matter what I do I get rocked something fierce, but if your looking for something to cheer you up then watch me play when I do get a game in, youll laugh your arse off at how bad I get owned. Or you could always go play a different game online that your not good at, that should help you realize how much you still appreciate the game lol.
