    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you're not interested in collecting pets or something like that, and aren't a PvPer, I'm not sure what you're supposed to fill more than a couple of hours a day with in WoD. Raid nights aside, there just doesn't seem to be any character-improving content that's available "ad libitum." It's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I hate how RNG this expansion is, especially because I've been ridiculously unlucky. No BoE epics have dropped for me, nor anything else particularly good. Zero warforged or socketed items out of about 12 CM boxes. Only one of my followers have rolled epic up from blue when recruiting...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Overjoyed at not having to do 45 dailies per week minimum, which was the case in early MoP. The current issue has nothing whatsoever to do with a lack of daily quests. In fact, it's laughable to imply - as you do - that this is the only alternative to the absurd daily hell of MoP, or that that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The issue is that all the levelcap activities are just artificial time gates. The Draenor content is great, but the implementation is fucking horrific. There's a ton of things you'll want to do, you just can't work on them because you're only allowed your tiny amount of periodical progress. You...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Basically, every boss has like 50 items in their loot table because of personal loot. When all the stuff that isn't for your class and spec is removed from the equation, it's really more like 5-10 possible items. This is also why removing personal loot was such an absolutely absurd thing -- it...

    Boomkin feels like so much more work for averge DPS. It'll help a little in raids where you (hopefully) don't need to glyph Guiding Stars, but in heroics where you do, it's such a fucking drag having to apply moon/starfire to every mob in order to AoE them. The single-target damage is also very...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The lack of flying doesn't bother me that much, but it's kind of weird that they touted it as a way of bringing the game back to its MMORPG roots and of keeping people together and then in the next breath they introduce garrisons which ensure that people spend most of their time completely...

    Sent all my best followers off on a mission before noticing that it was a 24 hour one. Seems there's no way to recall them, either.

    I hated every single moment of it. Why would they make it LFR only?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Mouthbreathing imbeciles who were too unintelligent to comprehend that seeing no loot on a boss didn't mean the loot system was broken, it just meant nothing dropped for them. They're the retards who lack the mental faculties to understand the merits of personal loot and instead just respond...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's particularly the nerf to AoE healing that causes problems. Wild Growth literally ticks for like 1% of people's hp while the fights seem designed to domoremulti-target damage than ever before. The fights are often a complete clusterfuck and the healer has to put in a 110% work effort in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Tried a challenge mode dungeon today. They're fucking insane, it almost felt broken. I'm at ilvl 633 but it was basically unhealable, the tank was simply taking more damage than my maximum possible throughput. Can't really say whether or not he played optimally, but in many cases, even against...

    You can also put those traps anywhere. I've been trolling people in groups by slapping traps down on top of them during boss fights and laughing as they scramble away.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Are there any good forums for WoW anymore? Everything seems to be either idiotic mouthbreathers like MMOC and the official forums, or largely inactive like EJ. Where do people go for theorycrafting and serious discussions?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you have the option of migrating to a smaller realm and can do it without fucking yourself over, I can definitely recommend it. I barely got to play for the first 48 hours, then I took the free migration to one of the two servers it offered and it has been 99% problem free since. No queues...

    Why does everything take such a long fucking time in this expansion?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Because it's pretty much false. I'm not saying for certain that nobody tried to DDoS Blizzard at all, but it's not a significant part of the problem if it even took place. These are not the signs of DDoSing. When a game gets attacked like that, everything is fucked and you lag everywhere. This...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Seems like the garrison system is set up to a) take an absolutely insane amount of time (some things appear to take weeks or even months to unlock) b) strongly encourage you to log in constantly throughout the day to maintain click-spam chores Feels like a Facebook game without the part...

    I gave up and took the free character migration to a low pop realm. It's smooth as silk here.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It has been unplayable pretty much all day on my server. It's just one issue after another. Stuck on flying mount, garrison doesn't work, getting disconnected every 10 seconds for two hours straight... and now my character is simply stuck where he logs in, unable to move. Anything I do gives me...

    Yeah, it's your own personal instance. I guess Blizzard didn't predict the logistical impact of giving millions of people their own instance.

    Well, garrisons have been down for several hours and I can't progress any further because the quest to activate the Talador zone requires that I go ot my garrison.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I tried flying to my garrison and my gryphon just stopped in mid-air over Shadowmoon Valley. I've been stuck here for half an hour now. It won't let me log out, and if I alt+f4, I'll be thrown into a 2h queue. I can't do anythning, I can't even queue for dungeons. Sigh.

    You have to level up first. Also you'd miss out on a bunch of crucial shit like garrison buildings and followers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What you 'muricans can expect: I'm on a "high" pop realm, but not one of the really overcrowded ones. Like well outside the top 10, probably more like the 15-20th most populated or something thereabouts. Two hours before launch, the server started crashing every couple of minutes. While...

    Dark Souls 2

    Why is all the DLC so much harder than the rest of the game? I hadn't played in months and decided to give it another shot, so I got all three DLCs and started a new game. Each one was so much harder than the difficulty of the point in the game that you reach them, even when taking into account...

    Overwatch

    Don't be a cunt. WoW is not deliberately marketed to small children, but the cinematic for this Overwatch stuff looks precisely like a Pixar animated children's movie.

    I just got the heirloom sword off Garrosh on my druid. What's the deal with this? It was on the not-guaranteed chance after having killed him before, but I only had the staff already. I didn't particularly need the mace or off-hand, but it would be nice to have them, and it's really weird that...

    I don't like the idea that having a lot of alts is directly and massively beneficial to your main character's power. They should have made the cooldown-based crafting components BoP, given the importance and power of crafted gear in WoD. The best crafted items are going to be BiS for a long time...

    With everyone getting a free dose of herbs and ore from their garrison every day, I don't it'll be as lucrative as previously.

    No, I accused someone of being Kegz. Can't remember who it was now. They had 2002 in their name.

    The Sleeper - Round 2

    One of the funniest things was the fact that before he resorted to full meltdown retardation, he was trying to actually defend his server with the few things he genuinely felt he had going for him: the AC fix and the open-source nature of the project. He felt he'd fixed AC on his server. I...

    The Sleeper - Round 2

    I'm bored on a bus so I'll indulge you. To understand the scope of this, it should be noted that Kegz = Toop, a notoriously retarded former player of P99 who was banned for showeq and vowed to make a better server that would put P99 out of business. He then embarked on two years of development...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They could, it's just a question of whether or not it'll be good enough to keep the game stable. WoW has an unbelievably petulant and hysterical playerbase, so while the game has the numbers, its customers also have the propensity to explode with outrage if something doesn't meet their...
