    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's hard to move around and nameds are just exploding left and right. I was under Deathtalon (I believe that was its name, a green bird) that spawned with about 9 milion hp, it lasted 24 seconds from the moment it was pulled, give or take 2 seconds (exactly 4 kill commands plus pet travel...

    44k in EU, never been lower I think, so freaking useless. I subbed for a month, Tanaan is a shithole, designed by an idiot, random gear is also quite shitty, makes me want to play Diablo because I get more drops there. I'll try a HFC lfr and then unsub at the speed of light. See you next spring...

    They are bleeding subs because WoD was a pile of shit, filled with shit and with some shit on top. I have been subscribed for the vast majority of WoW life, went in during open beta and aside from short periods were life was asking my undevoted attention, I was subbed and having fun. WoD...

    What I heard so far meets my expectations, except for more fucking followers, I hope it's a click and forget or completely skippable thing. I don't really care enough about the demon hunter, but I like other things I heard, such as the 3 specs for hunters being totally different, if they do the...

    Horde lore is fundamentally shit. Everything cool that happens in the world, involves the other side, no matter the race.

    Too much work, also no window licker would ever get his legendary. Warlock quest was, aside from the initial farming for the tome, very much run here and there and listen to lore, some funny parts (drive your eye of Kilrogg in Black Temple) and the last fight which was way too hard for most...

    What do you mean time consuming? At best it takes a week to max a new class from zero in some random purple gear, at worst a month. Content consumption is way too fast, too easy, too braindead and thus completely uninteresting, except for a few activities at level cap. They pushed for this...

    I finally got to Heavensward, with my limited playtime it's already a feat of strength but I disgress. First thing I notice is that quest mobs have a fuckton of hit points: I'm a white mage, so I don't launch nuclear blasts for breakfast, but 2 full dot cycles and a lot of stone II in between...

    The life of that kid is fucked up, mainly due to a shitty family environment. Getting deeply into a game was his escape from reality and while not the most healthy habit in the world, it's certainly better than becoming a junkie of different nature or getting neckdeep into criminal activities...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Other games have weird concepts, such as "support does less dps than pure" or ranged does less than melee and so on and so forth, WoW went for the route of "let's make 3 classes, then we change cosmetics". Of course they never get the balance right, sometimes tanks are fucked up (Brewmaster?)...

    Definitely equal efforts involved in the acquisition process *rolleyes*. Let's face it, wow is a raid-or-die game, everything else is just tacked on as an afterthought. I never did mythic dungeons because I unsubbed earlier, but if they are challenge mode style, my guess is that they are mostly...

    I ran the shit out of dungeons pre highmaul and a little bit even after, they were the usual linear stuff, but they were fun, interesting when low geared and were cool mixed in the story of a zone. I love 1 group content, it's more interesting to me, especially if it would be vanilla-style...

    Hahahaha! 16 to 24 dungeons, imagine if they would be also useful for progression instead of an afterthought pre-raid. Well, I don't believe it.

    Stoneskin is handy pre fight, when you cast St2 on the whole party in 1 cast. In combat not so much, pre heavensward the WHM version was 18% so it was useful, now it's 10% even for WHM.

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Every now and then I play on ED for nostalgia sake. I think the best way to approach these servers is far from trying to be serious: do it as a change of pace from your standard gaming habits. P.S.: old school feral druid brings tears to my eyes.

    You can add the exceptions in the Win FW, namely ffxivlauncher.exe, ffxivboot.exe, etc. (get all executable in your folder to be safe). Also Avast is fucking annoying as well, you have to turn it off before launching the patcher or you won't see the fields to inpunt your ID and password, etc.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoW is an amazing game, but it lost the MMO aspect over the years, one step a time. Now it's a lobby game where you queue with quasi-bots (actually, real bots would be better sometimes), except for that "hard mode" that 99% of the people don't give a fuck about. So yeah, random_game_003. I...

    It's pretty much the sole reason I play MMOs still, this in particular is not exceptionally great, but I think it's fascinating nonetheless. I can't understand those players who deprive themselves of sleep and possibly health by rushing to the "end game", skipping everything in the middle. Of...

    I played EQ for so fucking long, I still can't forget anything relevant I did. Considering I was a cleric for most of the time I played the game, I have not-so-fond memories of the spellbook, but to be honest I never had to med for 5 or 10 minutes. Later on the book was gone, but if all I did...

    Guild Wars 2

    Price is high, no arguing from me there. In all honesty, with FFXIV expansion to be played and some single player stuff I'm picking up from Steam sales, GW2:HoT can go suck a bag of dicks for a while. I fucking love the game, but 50 is way too much for a half blind purchase.

    I started praetorium for the first time, I stated I was new and was my first time in the instance, I was going to watch cutscenes. Trash was skipped, I lost 2 of the boss fights and then I chose to leave the place. Fuck playing like that. The only reason I play this game is the story, if I...

    Is there any benefit to preordering the xpack? I ask because I'm still 46 and I'll be pushing to complete the story, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time for it before the 23rd (alongside all the other shit that needs to be done). Anyone on Zordiak (EU) by the way?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I admit you are correct. I just never had the pleasure to play a game that focuses on these aspects, maybe because I never gave a damn about levels or raids. For me MMOs have always been about huge virtual worlds to explore and enjoy, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone, sometimes with...

    I'm a 43 WHM and enjoying the story, except some lame midquests, for example the pre-Titan ones. In general the bear asses are few, quickly done (max 4 or 5 kills, rarely 6) and exp-wise they are rewarding. My only issue is if I have to level a second class (and I'll certainly cap scholar), my...

    Here we go again: 1) People left because WS action combat gets tedious after a while, it lacks important features (like, which are the really dangerous telegraphs? you know, I can't dodge them all) and frankly healing was shitty and frustrating beyond measure, with your team mates actively...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I believe you are arguing semantics. No levels, just a power gauge hovering on the head of the characters, the more shit you do/kill/loot/explore/burn the higher the power gets, so we can compare values in the city-hub. Where's the difference?

    Most players don't raid, according to statistics released by Blizzard, some don't even reach the level cap (LFR is not raiding, it's a tiny step above watching a cinematic because you can choose the camera angle). So yeah, levelling is here to stay and for once I'm grateful, I love levelling and...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Considering the amount of money I gave Blizzard in the last 15 years or more, no I'm not shitting on their products, I'm criticizing them (for what is worth, so almost nothing) for delivering products that keep taking distance from their original design, which I loved more. I'm not alone in...

    I never gave a fuck about WoW money when WoW was good. Nowadays it's simply boring and there is nothing that interests me in it, so I won't come back for a new timeless isle and a new raid. Maybe for the patch before the new xpack, so I'll be able to see how many more fuck ups they are going to...

    You are 100% right, I'm not disputing their position in the market, theyarethe biggest publisher, they earn a fuckton of cash. I'm arguing about the product quality: WoW: long debate warning, but in my opinion it's less "good" than it was and age is not the main reason. WoD is a bad...
