I feel like I have reached a frozen, tedious, point in the game, after 200 hrs it has been. I have a ton of weapons to upgrade/make, and the only way to upgrade/make them is to kill the same monsters again and again until I get the three or four of the very rare items that I need. I do want to make some Alatreon stuff, but I've only killed him once out of four tries today. In the one game, I was trying to get him asleep, but a player kept whacking me with his longsword(the Sea Power event one forgot its name) so I could barely get any attacks in, then when I did get him asleep, that same player woke him up with a small bomb before I could do the bombing with Large Bomb pluses . Now this wasn't one time, but the three times I got him asleep. We ended up losing with three deaths two from this player. :( Then in another one, I found a group who was in the HR100s, which I tend to stay away from, because I like to stay within my experience range. Anyway so it was three gunners and me with a measly SNS. We(rather they lol I just helped support a few bombs) broke his horns and wings, but ran out of time. Yeah that was very frustrating. :( The last two I went with the simple, straight forward method, brought out my axe, in order to help somebody get their urgent completed. We lost the first, and won the second. Please do note, that his quest tends to take up the whole 50 minutes, so that was about three hours of losses on top of the hour or so of preparation/finding a city. So yeah, I feel like I want to do more, but it will just take me hours just to finish a simple task like getting two lagi horns to upgrade my High Bolt Axe for example. I think I might get into gunning to freshen things up, but the learning curve seems huge. I might as well make a new character and clock in 200 more hours just to figure it out at a high enough proficiency.
