Pride365 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have become disillusioned with Malifaux and Wyrd. I am not wanting to turn this into a bashing Wyrd Session but I am coming to the community to get re-excited about this game. I currently have 2 factions that I was tricking out in plastic. Rezzers and Neverborn. I own Lilith and Lynch and Kirai and Seamus and Yan Lo. I know I am missing some plastic sets but I just can't seem to be motivated about Malifaux.

Mister Shine Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm a big Wyrd fan and Malifaux Fanatic, but even I get burned out sometimes. After doing the Beta stuff and playing almost exclusively Malifaux for.... over a year? Yeah, was getting pretty burned out on the game. Took a break, been playing DZC and Infinity and slowly been feeling that Malifaux itch calling out to get scratched. Long term, you may just need a break. Play some other stuff to remember what's special and different about Malifaux. I could list reasons I think the game is special, but they may not really apply to you., and I dont think they'd convince you anyway. Take a step back, dont try to force yourself to love it. You'll come back to it on your own. Because at its core; its a very addictive and fun game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not sure if it will help, but my usual method of re-energising is similar to Shine's - play some other games for a bit. Worst-case scenario: you'll find a new game that you really enjoy, and you'll give up on Malifaux entirely for a while. Likely scenario: you'll realise how much more fun you'd be having if you were playing Malifaux instead. Taking a break is definitely something we all need once in a while. Keep your crews, though - when you get the urge to play again in a few months, you'll regret having gotten rid of them. Having been there myself a few times (I'm almost at the point of taking a break right now, in fact), I don't think there's another reliable way to bring back your enthusiasm for a game if you're already immersed in it. However, new ideas can sometimes get you there - try listening to some podcasts or reading articles, and see if anything catches your eye-ears.

paradoxstorm Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Taking a break is a good idea. Have you been playing with a social group or random folks at tournaments and such? If I am not connecting with one or more personal friends or family members, I give the game up after about a year. Many, many people use games as a platform for social interaction and lose interest if the social interaction isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I used to be a raging Warhammer played I am currently going through a similar thing as you but for WHFB. I turned to Malifaux and bascially stopped playing altogether but a short while ago I read some of my old Warhammer books and it totally rekindled my love for the High Elves and I dug them out for a week and had some fun. After having played a few games with my Warhammer armies I came back to Malifaux and was eager to get some card action going. I love Warhammer but DAMN those dice are fickle! I'm basically echoing what the other guys said but try playing other games (PC, Console, Tabletop) for a few weeks then come back to Malifaux and see how you feel. Definitely hang onto your crews for a while though. If you sell them and want to come back you will probably regret getting rid of them.
