    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The last MMO I played with out a LFD feature was EverQuest on the Selo server, so not that long ago to be honest. While I understand what you are saying, I have to point out that EverQuest is a special snowflake among the blizzard of MMORPGs. EverQuest does not lend itself solo nor duo...

    Are the crystals and clusters just a higher level of basically the same thing where you have to go out and farm them in large quantities to level crafting as well?

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I can see the argument against and for the LFD feature. For me personally, I prefer the old way where you needed to make friends in game to get dungeons done. When your friends weren't online, you could go to the dungeon entrance and join up with strangers that sometimes lead to you making new...

    I was working on crafting this weekend, and the strangest thing happened. I ran out of shards >.< lol. You get so many shards for free from doing all of the crafting starter quests that I never even really thought twice about them. Getting my Weaver to level 40 caused that to become a thing...

    I was wondering, is the auto loot feature in WoW Classic? Anybody that has played beta or stress test know? I really liked being able to just right click a corpse, and everything automatically went in my bags. Call me lazy, but it's a quality of life feature that I love.

    I had a buddy back in the day that literally played from the bathroom on his laptop because he didn't want his girlfriend to know he was playing at the time.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The thing is though that it doesn't need to mean that. I know it's hard for game development companies to wrap their heads around it, but sometimes their best intentions are based on bad decisions. If World of Warcraft Classic turns out to be a smashing success, then it would be in their...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    I totally get what you're saying as that was one of the coolest parts of EverQuest back in the day. I just feel that the player should have the choose of whether they want to use a public instance or private instance because sadly these days there is just a metric ton of toxic players out...

    I know what you mean. Every time I switch between my main job and one I have not played in a while, I am completely lost. The nice thing is that I have found a ton of useful videos on youtube that help as a refresher. Some abilities will be out of date due to patches, but it helps to get the...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    If I was running the development, I would not use the existing servers (and certainly not the existing client). Like you said, there's things to salvage from the existing server, but from the get go, the direction of the project would be to create the server from scratch with current...

    Actually, I have not played through Stormblood yet as I am still working my way through Heavensward, so yeah you fucked the story for me. That's like telling people the ending of a movie or book. It's an extreme dick move. God fucking damn. Jesus Christ. Toxicity of fucktards like you are...

    Ok. I deserved that, but I feel sorry for anyone that wants to try FFXIV in the future and read your reply because you just spoiled the story for anyone who hasn't played through it yet.

    Yeah I totally get what you are saying. I feel like I was being a dick when I said I didn't care if I ruffled anybody's feathers. I apologize for that. I think I might have gone in to this with a preconceived decision that it sucked because that's how I left it years ago. I'm going to try to...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    You're right in that. FFXIV does not have the community thing like old school MMORPGs did. I completely agree. I'm not saying that it takes long to level in WoW. It doesn't. I'm just saying that it was incredibly boring to me. It's possible that it's due to the fact that I have done it so...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I don't know man. At least the MSQ quests are part of a large over arching story line where it feels like my time and effort is lending itself to something much bigger. When it comes to the vast majority of the quests in WoW, I just feel like I'm doing shit to be doing shit with no...

    I reinstalled WoW this weekend, and created an undead warlock. I got to level 10, and was like OMG SOMEONE SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD NOW PLEASE!!!! Holy fuck the quest grind is boring as hell. I just don't know if I can make it 50 levels again in WoW. /sigh

    This is pretty much what I have seen so far going through Heavensward. The Ironworks gear is a great for getting all your gear to 120 easily. Then around level 54 MSQ, you start replacing it with 125 gear.

    Good stuff. I am most likely going to go with Warlock. Thanks

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I tend to remember the warlock being super easy mode to level due to the pet tanking. I think as a mage, I typically had a boat load of potions to heal up or something.

    I actually enjoyed most of the class story lines I played through back when the game came out. The thing I didn't like was towards the mid to high level range, I felt like my characters were not as powerful as they should have been considering what they were. I mean like a jedi slicing away...

    Ok, so seeing as my brother is going to force me to play this with him when the servers finally open up, I am putting serious thought in to which class to play. I am obviously going to make an undead rogue to mess with Alliance people. That's a given. But... As for my main to level up...

    That's exactly what would happen back in Vanguard when you zoned. Well they didn't call it zoning because there weren't "zones" so to speak, but the whole world was technically cut up in to huge square chunks. When you would cross one of the chunk lines, you would technically zone. If you was...
