WoW Expansion.

[frost]

I don`t know how many other here have played WoW. It seems the expansion is pretty much giving stuff that you already had in the game. The Fact that Horde had the only Shamans in the game. & the Fact the Alliance had the only Paladins. Now both sides can play class that only the other faction had access to.

Lets talk about races. Instead of giving the Horde an interesting race they basically remake the Night Elves. Ya! the Horde now Have Blood Elves which look like the Dam Token Elves. The Alliance basically gets a race of Giant Blue Berry men.

I hope the content they add makes up for the lack of imagination they show in the parts of classess & races.

*Gets off the Soap Box*

[MMX]

I've got a better idea, let's stop talking about and never again bring up the topic of WoW on these forums ever again.  Yeah, I like that idea.

*stabs frost in the face, takes his wallet and then flees the scene bursting with maniacal laughter*

[Hyperguy]

So, anyone else here play Frozen Throne?

[DualSoul]

So, anyone else here play Frozen Throne?

Play it from time to time.  FPS' are my true calling though, I couldn't micromanage my way out of a paper cage.

Not head-to-head against other players, only the CPU.  FT quite possibly belongs on the list of the ten best video game endings of all time though.

There's no micromanaging in WC3 and its expansion.  It's just click frenzy, no actual micromanaging.  *waits for Supreme Commander*

And a stab to the face and a taking of the wallet to JG for his inaccurate rating of WC3-anything's ending.  WC2/ToD obviously had a better ending, considering it was the ending to the last Warcraft game Blizzard made before it fucked up the whole series....

.... What are you looking at?


But that reminds me.  I hated WC3/TFT for both its story and the general gameplay, but I loved some of the custom maps.  Anyone ever played NoLD?  (Night of the Living Dead, yes apparently the 't' was not worthy of inclusion into the map name)  Or Eve of Apocalypse? (an AoS-style game except ten times better than any other AoS or anything Guinsoo could come up with U_U)

Edit: Though Thirst for Gamma was a pretty good AoS, better than Guinsoo & co.'s silly DoTA "AllStars".

[Hyperguy]

Yeah, but who played Warcraft 2?

[ROMate]

I've never played anything with "Warcraft" in the title. RTS is one of the genres I don't like, and WoW is so overhyped I can't even begin to think neutrally about it.

[Centurion]

I'm really curious to play the RTS games, but I dont feel like spending my money on them.  I'd play WoW but i dont wanna be disowned by everyone I know and that i'm playing FF11 with >_>

[frost]

I played FF 11 a long time ago. Its got good graphics & theme. However, I always found it to be somewhat of a pain. Virtual no solo except for Beast Masters. Grant it you could solo a bit but leveling after lvl 10 solo becomes to time consuming.

& basically gave up playing it when you`d have to wait 4 hrs for a party only to leave after 30 minutes into getting into one. That & always had a hard time finding players that spoke english. Only got my Redmage up to lvl 32.

[tetsaru arigashi]

one of my friends tried it, but hated the fact that it took forever for you to travel somewhere... that, and the fact that he often ran into people who couldn't party well and ended up stranding him somewhere to get aggroed by tough enemies and then he'd end up deleveling.  however, i have another friend who's actually played it a while, so i may end up getting it once i get my new computer - then i can see for myself if it's as frustrating as he says it is.  =/

[Mediocrity]

If I can get the job I applied for (7-3:30 cashier monkey at my mom's workplace), I might get the WoW expansion once it comes out. Then again, I might just end up buying every single PS2 RPG that comes out between now and Christmas, and that should be enough to keep me off my computer except for porn-harvesting and the occasional shout of "I'm not quite dead" to my intarweb friends.

Still, it'd be a decent thing to play every so often, though I have a feeling everyone I'd make friends with would outlevel me in a week just like in FFXI, thus forcing me to go with pick-up parties that ending being spectacular failures after ten minutes.

[MMX]

Yeah, but who played Warcraft 2?

Oh, no you din't.  *bitchsmack-to-face*


And to frost - Difficulty soloing?  Uh, welcome to every MMO in existence?  C'mon don't tell me WoW doesn't have that.  I've played it all through beta and sporadicaly through retail and you've got to be kidding me.  That is what is wrong with all MMOs.


But at least FFXI has red mages. >_>
<_<

[frost]

I`ve been playing MMO since 2000. & some its quite easy to solo. Except for a few Instance I`ve solo`d all the way up to lvl 41 as a Paladin in WoW. I solo`d my Jedi up to lvl 84 in SWG. I`ve solo`d my Scrapper up to lvl 30 in CoH. UO well thats nothing but Solo.

There is alot of MMO you can Solo. FFXI is the only MMO I`ve played that you can`t solo, & gain lvls in at a reasonable rate of time. Anyone can run around smacking Easy Prey for little xp. But the rate you gain XP is just way to slow in FFXI. Grant you they are out there, but name another MMO as hard, & slow at gainning lvls as FFXI if you were to solo it.

[Ellendesu]

Yeah, but who played Warcraft 2?

I did. Back in the day.

[bfg00]

Warcraft 2 and Warcraft were awesome.  I loved making maps in Warcraft 2.

[MMX]

Damn straight, guys.  I think the better question is, who HASN'T played Warcraft 2?

That's right, down syndrome kids.  I'm looking at you, HyperGuy.


And frost - well of course for the first half of the game but how high can you really go soloing?  And theya lways make ti so partying nets you exp at like 100x the rate of soloing, so soloing is only good for farming (which can be quite lucrative, mind you).  Sure you "can" solo but you probably can't go into some of the high level areas of the game, those are reserved for "guild raids" and whatnot.  And of course if you have the patience you can solo a big portion of the game.  They just make it rough on soloers, is what I'm saying.  Rougher than it should ever be. (especially in comparison to silly parties)

[Ellendesu]

Making maps in Warcraft II sucked up many an hour as a young man.

Was always fun creating horribly unbalanced maps and seeing how quick you force someone to just DIE.
