My character randomly got hit by a nasty debuff (lemmy.world)

After noticing the debuff, I got in contact with a level 56 healer and he said there is no way to remove or even weaken it. Other players with this debuff usually run out of max HP in a couple years. They can still log in, but there's not much point because the debuff drains their STR and DEX so much they can't even defeat a level 1 crab anymore.

Why did the devs add random debuffs to the game that make your character unplayable? Don't they want players to keep logging in? I could understand if my character got hit by a hex from a high-level warlock in PvP, but completely random debuffs?

Are there any high-level priests here who know whether we get sent back to the character creation screen when our character runs out of HP? I never understood why this game only has one character slot. I could just switch to an alt. Hopefully I'll be able to play a better game next time, because let's face it: this one isn't that fun.

you think i don't fucking know that. hilarious. no. it's painfully clear the pay to win rigging makes it so almost every so-called "progression system" is a dead end. i have my build charted out, i know what the prerequisites are, and where the quest flags trigger. what I'm SAYING IS, if it glitches again and FUCKS ME OUT OF WHAT I GRINDED FOR, I'm pulling the plug and closing my account.

the devs don't deserve support if the only updates they bring to the game make it LESS PLAYABLE. it's already notoriously well known that the entire first eighteen level tutorial arc has had ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING ON ACTUAL IN-GAME SYSTEMS anymore. people who spent their entire run specializing their role arrive at the survival stage only to discover every FUCKING SKILL they trained is useless and deprecated.

exactly what the FUCK is someone supposed to do with their mandatory ranks in "cursive writing"? All that training time wasted when it could have been more effectively used on introducing the currency management mini games that, OOPSIE DAISY, TURN OUT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE WITHOUT and players just get fucking DROPPED into the deep end with hardly any warning.

this game fucking sucks and frankly I'm only still here because there's still a chance i can help my guildmates. but if unprecedented changes to abstract faction rules come out of NOWHERE to make it impossible for me to contribute, I'm not going to waste my time anymore.

You think i dont know that?

Yeah, i do. And the rest of your comment didn't change my mind. lmao

You can be a miserable, sad sack of shit if you want to, but were all in the same boat dealing with the same bullshit.

I said you have to find/make it yourself and you commented a bunch of shit you have no control over.

When's the last time you even went on a bike ride and laughed with a stranger?
That's what makes life worth living, not having valuable and in-demand skills.

Now put down your thousand dollar misery machine and join us outside where we're touching grass and laughing at penis-shaped clouds.

PS. i hope you're just having a rough go of it atm and don't actually feel this way all the time, if so you shoild consider talking to someone about it.
