Finally a community friendly post that is not about muskets, bows, greatswords or greataxes…
This post revived my hope that community will be build and not splitted by PvP/PvE Melee/Ranged
Right and sad at same %. Were living under a system that foments dopamine filters get filled inmediatly ( drugs,porn,series,games) that we are almost uncapable of recover the normality. Our brain isnt developed to be gratificated constantly, when It happens at long time we are no longer capables to feel happines without an external resource doing It for us.
Sad and true, nice post buddie .

Some of you have real issues. Treat it like the game it is and you’ll be fine.
New World in this thread is only a disguise for what usually is called work.

this is absolutely great man.
I always did it but never really cared about the background why it does work how it does.
Though you feel your skill dropping after 3 days - 1week break :x
That’s a big assumption that New World still gives me serotonin and dompamine boosts at this point.

Cmon, it’s not that bad is it Varu 
This is so true! 
Everyone needs to take a break from gaming evey day. I usually go for a long walk and in summer a hike in the mountains.
It really helps with your mentals!
So stay active between gaming grinds people! 
im glad we dont have enough content to play 7-8 hours a day

Not judging, as I’m often guilty of this…but playing 8-16 hours/day for months on end is HORRIBLE for you. The tolls that it plays on people really shows in the toxicity of games where people spend more time in-game than IRL.

I relay to the OP.
I use to play hard core in ohter games.
I was officer and shot calller.
I pkayed 8-12 hours a day, even more on weekends and holidays.
I got easily irritated, had short fuse and even broke some keyboards, headphones and stuff like that.
Luckily I have very good friends that pointed that out for me and how different my behaviour was compared to just a few years before.
I seeked help and now I have it under control.
Still medicaded though.
So yes! Take the OP very seriously.

T_T ! but true 
This is an excellent point.
Personally i keep mine in check by not playing on work days. It gives me something to look forward to when all my work is done.

I love how TheBlackAbbot used other real world examples and not just the game. Fantastic post.

At last a good post.
I’ve been fighting depression for years and I had come to the point when only music gave me serotonin or dopamine. Music is my no1 hobby, i got an expensive setup, i’m looking for new artists and albums every day.
One month into the game and I no longer feel the urge to listen to music. Which is strange considering it’s my favorite hobby. This weirded me out a little but I realised that it was the game that took music’s place.
I got highly addicted at the first 3 weeks . I didn’t want to sleep, I didn’t want to go to work, I walked my dog less, I ate junk food everyday

Real Life is a competing MMO. The graphics can be amazing but the MSQ is boring as hell. And the respawn timer seems to be broken. Most NPCs are even dumber than the ones in NW.

Tanner101 from Orofena needs to read this post, mofo is annoying on the global chat for 22hrs per day man.
I am looking forward to a break over the holiday period tbh.
