• • WoTLK is not what Blizzard announced

    I play WoW for 4 years now and ive been waiting for WoTLK since its announcement, but I am terribly disappointed with this expansion. First of all, everyone can see its unfinished, we can see that the dev team was clearly pressed for an earlier launch, the game is very poor item wise, i managed to level from 70 to 80 and there was only 2 different skins in my armor type (plate), the pvp itemization for lvl 80 is still not implemented, so there is no real rewards for now. I stopped going to instances because every boss drops 3 items, lol, 3 items, using the same skins as every quest rewarded item. As soon as I reach lvl 80 ppl start raiding, and who would have known, we clean naxx on the first week, its too damn easy. Lets speak about crafting now, there are no rewards or recipes to collect we are for now, except maybe one or 2 professions, limited to what the trainer teaches. What about those functions they promissed us and are not there, like new dances for instance. I wonder, its this what Blizzard can do in 2 FULL years developing? what the hell, did blizzard pulled all developers to Diablo 3? When will we get more content, more recipes, more item skins, more balanced raiding. Did blizzard learn nothing about releasing unfinished games from the competition?

    
     

    Thats because Blizz knows that the game has peaked and they are investing more time and money into Diablo 3 and Starcraft....Blizz doesn't want to cause a panic and truthfully tell people that the sub numbers have took a kamakazi nose dive, but its evident when you find stacks and stacks of copies still sitting on shelves an tables in Wal Mart, Target, Best Buy, Gamestop and other places....

    The game was overhyped and people didn't want to believe it...I can atleast say I didn't get suckered into yet another "B" rated expansion from WOW....

    These little expansions remind me of the EQ days when they would release and expansion here and there just to kee people happy and paying....This isn't the only site though...google search and visit some of these other MMO sites and they all are collectively saying what you and others are saying...its the truth and I can't see how after 2 crappy expansions they expect to keep these sub numbers high for much longer....its the end of an era and people have to face facts whether they want to or not.

• • I think WoW is dead, the PVE is too easy and WAR is a better game :)

    What I can't understand about Warhammer is why they went backwards with their seiging.  In Daoc, you could move seige weapons and it made the fights much more dynamic.   WOW's seiging is the evolution of DAoC... war is actually a step backwards from DaoC.

    
     

    I think your forgetting 1 thing here..its called WARHAMMER not Dark Age Of Camelot...2 totally different games...DAOC was never a PVP game it was mainly a PVE game...WAR is 98% PvP focused..So trying to make a comparison is impossible unless they are both the same style games...

    We all know you eat, sleep, and drink WOW so your here trying to make a comparison between WOW, WAR, and DAOC and your views are biased.

• • there does nt seam to be an influx of new players with the lich king

    i play on wow oh 3 european servers and although i m enjoying the lich king  a lot . i m noticing there does nt appear to be the same influx of new blood that happened around the release of the burning crusade . i think perhaps its because theres only the death knight which starts at 55 and no new races for people to start from level one perhaps . also maybe we ll see a lot of new players around christmas . i m wondering if anyone else has noticed this ? 

    
     

    This is because wotlk is not living up to all the hype...Ive said this before and ill say it again, ive been in Best Buy, Wal Mart, Gamestop, and a few other lesser known for selling pc software stores and I have seen boxes upon boxes of this expansion sitting on tables and end shelves collecting dust...In fact at Best Buy this week I noticed an employee boxing back up some copies of wotlk, now that could mean 1 or 2 things...they are making shelve space for other games or they are moving merchandise off the floor that isn't selling...wotlk brought nothing new to the table cept a new class and some refurbished NPC's, Quests and graphics..Many of my friends that have played it just for the PvP and sieging stated that it was the worse thing they have ever experienced, but they like a few others won't leave so quickly because of time invested....

    There are people already level 80 a week or so into release already...What does that tell you? easy, no challenge and now they get to sit around another 3 years..Now you would think with all the money blizzard makes off software and merchandise that in 3 years of developement that there would be more of a challenge...Reminds me of the EQ days....Bring out expansions every now and then to keep people happy while you pour money into other games...

    IMO WOW has reached its peak and sometime in 2009 when other MMO's start appearing and other MMO's improve, people will eventually stop subscribing, not everyone, but that fabricated 12 mil number will go on a decline..Its evident in most of the Forums on this and other sites that people are disappointed and are losing intrest..

    I know some people think that numbers will improve during Xmas, I would say don't hold your breath

• • RvR Finally Ramping Up

    Well, content-wise at end-game, yeah, WoW wins over WAR in PvE. PvE leveling content is completely rubbish in WoW compared to WAR, though. It simply doesn't have what it takes to match it.

    
     

    This isn't directed at you specifically Ixnatifual: Just because Ive seen many posts trying to compare 2 games that are not alike in play style....

    NEWS flash WAR isn't a PVE game and they never claimed that they would be otherwise..So stop trying to compare it to WOW....WAR dominates the PVP aspect and WOW the PVE...2 totally seperate playing styles....WOW is a sad attempt @ pvp..you will never have the massive battles you see in WAR in WOW, just isn't going to happen....Until people understand the difference between the 2 games we will continue to see this sad attempt to compare the 2.

• • Anyone else feel like Wrath is too damn easy? Or just too damn boring? Maybe just me

    Hey....

    So yeah yeah all the hype and everything went to the midnight launch in my gamestore near me and purchased WRATH!! zomg all this beta talk and zomg deathknight ( I originally planned to quit once wrath went live but fell into the hype trap). My gf and I got it went home and after the good amount of coffee (or some other substance) consumed we finally installed it.

    First- Made a deathknight! What did do you expect? I've been wanting to try out a Deathknight for the awesome! The beginning quests were well thought out and really fun! I gotta say probably the most fun I've had in awhile. With all the fun bombing.. grand theft horsie and deathgripping your mom. What happend after? I saw the hell hole of hellfire.. Alrite cya.. I mean really? Its bad enough we waited years for new content which would result in making 4+ 70 alts do I really need to see hellfire pen one more time? No I don't and yes DK gear you get looks freakin AMAZING. But yes it will get replaced by ugly greens of TBC gear.. DK gear starts you off with dark gear... a nice DK sword (from the beginning cinematic) but easily gets replaced by a skinny pos ninja knife. I immediately logged cuz If I had to pick up another felhunters crap...

    Second- Welcome to northrend! Whats the first thing I wanted to try? New quests and new dungeons! More on the new dungeons part since I like PVE by instances, grouping, and just having fun with friends while leveling easier than killing 100 chickens and cooking it then giving it to a guy you don't even know. My gf and I have a tank and a healer and our buddies have the deeps. We were so stoked to find a new challenge since we cleared SWP. Maybe it was just me but when I ran into Ramps @ 60 with the same friends it was pretty damn rough.. I thought the second pull was hard enough with the chance of pulling a whole mob + adds. There was no challenge in UK and the Nexxus. We pretty much AOEd most of the mobs without pulling aggro and just to regain aggro all the tank had to do was swing once or twice here. WTH? I waited years to play dungeons that don't require any thinking? We did UK and Nexxus at 5am tired as hell and it wouldn't matter if you lagged out for 5 minutes there was no challenge. Continuing with more dungeons we realized the reason why there are guilds clearing all PVE content in the first week. I'm sorry but a 60 purpled out mage can not AOE ramps in TBC and not get ganked let alone live through adds. Why can 2 70s spam volley/arcane explosion do good amount of dps and tank never lose aggro?

    I know there is casual players that would like to see content without going through the problems like TBC had but isn't that why there is 10 mans in wotlk? Also I'm not the best player either. I r a noob and I admit it . But we are going through dungeons like nothing. This why I will no longer will be playing  WoW. You know I really thought with the way TBC was going with the tough raids and fun fights (especially in SWP) that this is where it was going. All the gear from UK to End game gear looks exactly the same. Plate looks like plate..no matter what class. I don't care about the quests because I hate questing no matter how cool that guy dies. But dungeons is where I live in. Its fun its with friends and gives more XP and keeps me playing. On our realm we already have guilds who are already clearing naxx.. Anyway GG... frkin blizzard. killed it..

     

     

    The game is boring and dull and now many people who played the expansion finally see that it is nothing more than a TBC makeover, nothing new, nothing exciting, grind to 80 and wait another 3 years for the next expansion...mindless sheep I call many of them....
     

    Ignore bodypass, he or she is 2nd in WOW fanbois command just under Azrile..These 2 know it alls frequent the other forums all the time..They treat the other forums as if they are Epic quests and they go around and defend WOW as if they are getting a paid endorsement..
     

    Play WAR if you want to experience ACTUAL PVP and not WOW's version of a sad attempt to sucker more people into these rinse and repeat expansion packs.
