"Dominion: Introducing PsyMon!"
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2014 10:35 am
Hello folks!
My WS name is PsyMon. I play a 50 Esper Healer who is on the Silver Dungeon Attunement stage. I am a top level Technologist but switched and maxed Tailoring (Techno wasn't that great) so that I could gear up a bit for the elder game. I've been playing since beta but wasn't in a giant hurry. I don't consider myself the most skilled player (probably average) but I learn fairly quickly and am able to follow a game plan and fill my role accordingly. I have little to no interest in PvP whatsoever overall, but have been known to briefly dip my toe in it during a full moon when Jupiter and Mars align. I love grouping for quests/dungeons and beating an enemy with other players, trying to beat the most difficult content gamemakers can provide. It doesn't always work out that way (some of them are really devious lol) but it's fun every time giving it that go and finally achieving it really gets that dopamine flowing and what keeps me subbed.
Other MMO's I also currently play are: DCUO, TSW (Lifetime subs to both), FFXIV, and EQ Landmark. I also play Hearthstone, plan to dabble a bit in H1Z1, Destiny (PS4), EQNext, and probably The Division. I've played most of the AAA mmos and a few underbudgeted ones as well; TESO, Warhammer, Rift, Champions Online, City of Heroes, Aion, Tera, WoW, Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, FFXI (almost 4 years), Marvel Heroes, GW2, Neverwinter, Darkfall, Star Trek Online, LOTRO, Vanguard, Perpetuum, etc, etc, etc.
I'm able to make just about any group or raid times due to an extremely flexible schedule called 'retirement' and "stay at home Dad". I have a set of twins going into 7th grade, a 4 yr old, and a huge house to manage but it's a great tradeoff from the Rat Race I used to run in. Big Jazz music fan (as you can tell by my forum name), 60's-80's RnB, love most American sports, very huge on Netflix, Game of Thrones and most cable series shows, and one day hope to move abroad... somewhere... when these guys flee the nest.
I'm old enough to be proud to say that I spent many hours playing Pong when it was first released in 1972 which many gamers can't say nowadays (49) but still young enough to look forward to things like VR-based gaming and Storybricks-type based content in the future. This genre has come a long way and it was great seeing it all unfold as it did, and it's fantastic being able to share these things with my own children now. The only thing missing has been a gaming community with likeminded players who aren't 'burned out and jaded' either, but want to keep moving forward as games do.
Hopefully I fit the bill for Grievance. Thanks for taking the time to consider my inclusion.
edit: Doh, forgot the most important part... GO DOMINION!!
