And the cycle continues...alright then

If you're not enjoying playing solo, then play something else. Give it 6-12 months and then come back and start fresh. I played through the game once alone, then played through again with friends. My friends are waiting until more is added to the game now. I've since played through 2 more times solo. I like changing things up, like instead of grinding for bronze, I get enough for a bronze weapon and adze for the tier 4 workbench, then go into the swamp with upgraded troll armor instead of bronze armor.

Also, I've played through using clubs/maces 2 times. I played through using only swords. Now my next plan is to abandon using a shield and stick with the atgeir. I just started gathering copper/tin in my most recent playthrough on the test branch. I'm considering switching between the knives and atgeir (depending on how much I enjoy it). I've always used one handed weapons, now I'm going to try to focus on the two handed weapons. I'm also considering an axe playthough. I've been hearing good things about the crystal battleaxe.

So, if you really want to keep playing the game and it's feeling stale for you, then I suggest changing your play style. Move out of your comfort zone. I was always underwhelmed by the bosses in solo. That's because I always over-prepared. I plan on changing that too. Things like fighting the Elder with fire arrows will be replaced with focusing on killing the Elder with melee only. The same goes for Moder.

It's all about whats fun for you. If you can't find a way to play the game and make it fun, then take a break. Come back fresh after a few month of playing other games.
