Will's vignette is the primary reason why I'm not going to get sucked into this dystopia of grind and spec.

David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm at level 31 and I'm getting that "why do I bother" feel - I didn't join a guild (I play too irregularly), I'm sick of quests ("Collect 15 centaur ears" - why? There'll just be 15 new Centaurs milling around when I'm done), and I love the battlegrounds, but going to a capital city, getting in a queue, milling around, finally getting bored and going back to somewhere that I can grind to the next level and then JUST as the bird lands getting called up for the battle - and then the battle lasts all of five minutes, either because nobody showed up to play the Horde side at Arathi or everybody showed up to slaughter us in Warsong Gulch - and I'm stuck at the dumb capital again, is getting tiring.

Just my two cents. I'll probably still subscribe 'til I make it to 60 though.

On a completely unrelated topic but surprisingly similar in nerdiness and ROFL-itude:

BritneySpears14: Funny I still don't see it.

BritneySpears14: You are the worst cyber partner ever. This is ridiculous.
bloodninja: Don't f*ck with me bitch, I'm the mightiest sorcerer of the lands.
bloodninja: I steal yo soul and cast Lightning Lvl. 1,000,000 Your body explodes into a fine bloody mist, because you are only a Lvl. 2 Druid.
BritneySpears14: Don't ever message me again you piece of ****.
bloodninja: Robots are trying to drill my brain but my lightning shield inflicts DOA attack, leaving the robots as flaming piles of metal.
bloodninja: King Arthur congratulates me for destroying Dr. Robotnik's evil army of Robot Socialist Republics. The cold war ends. Reagan steals my accomplishments and makes like it was cause of him.
bloodninja: You still there baby? I think it's getting hard now.
bloodninja: Baby?

bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.

J-dogg:Your pretty funny

J-dogg:Wanna cyber?
DirtyKate:OK, but don't tell anybody ;-)
DirtyKate:Who are you?
J-dogg:I graduated two years ago. I've got blond hair, blue eyes, I work out a lot. Right now I'm going to Auburn
J-dogg:And I have a part time job delivering for Papa John's in my new Sebring
DirtyKate:You sound sexy.. I bet you want me in the back of your car..
J-dogg:Maybe some other time. You should call up Papa John's and make an order
DirtyKate: Haha! OK
DirtyKate:Hello! I'd like an extra-EXTRA large pizza just dripping with sauce.
J-dogg:Well, first they would say, "Hello, this is Papa John's, how may I help you", then they tell you the specials, and then you would make your order. So that's an X-Large. What toppings do you want?
DirtyKate:I want everything, baby!
J-dogg:Is this a delivery?
DirtyKate:Umm...Yes
DirtyKate:So you're bringing the pizza to my house now? Cause I'm home alone... and I think I'll take a shower...
J-dogg:Good. It will take about fifteen minutes to cook, and then I'll drive to your house.
DirtyKate:Jdogg, I'm almost finished with my shower... Hurry up!
J-dogg:You can't hurry good pizza.
J-dogg:I'm on my way now though
DirtyKate:So you're at my front door now.
J-dogg:How did you know?
J-dogg:I knock but you can't hear me cause you're in the shower. So I let myself in, and walk inside. I put the pizza down on your coffee table.
J-dogg:Are you ready to get nasty, baby? I'm as hot as a pizza oven
DirtyKate:Oooohh yeah. I step out of the shower and I'm all wet and cold. Warm me up baby
J-dogg:So you're still in the bathroom?
DirtyKate:Yeah, I'm wrapping a towel around myself.
J-dogg:I can no longer resist the pizza. I open the box and unzip my pants with my other hand. As I penetrate the gooey cheese, I moan in ecstacy. The mushrooms and Italian sausage are rough, but the sauce is deliciously soothing. I blow my load in seconds. As you leave the bathroom, I exit through the front door....
DirtyKate:What the fuck?
DirtyKate:You perverted piece of shit
DirtyKate:Fuck

J-Dogg: I see you in line at the supermarket. Our eyes meet.

J-Dogg: My wishes are like poetry in your eyes. We want this moment to last forever.
Partner8: OMFG are you trying to cyber me?
J-Dogg: We are like two dancers, for whom the music never stops. I Kiss the top of your hand. You are taken aback by the bulge that forms in your thigh.
Partner8: Is that like cancer?
J-Dogg: If cancer is our love, then I hope you don't have the technology of chemotherapy.
Partner8: Good one romeo.
J-Dogg: You grab the bulge that you feel. you tihink it must be taking over your mind, theres nothing else you can think of. My tubesteak to you is like a beautiful japanese haiku.

Live side or dead side? I did dead about a dozen times before I found a party that wanted to go kick the Scarlet Crusade.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 13 March 2006 10:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Also enjoy it while you can - in order to make those dungeons less of a grind (and get raids working away on the high-level instances), the quality of drops in Stratholme, Scholomance and the Blackrocks are going to go up, but the level cap is going down: Strat, Scholo and Blackrock Depths will be capped at 5-man, and Blackrock Spire will be capped at 10-man.

This is from the patchnotes for 1.10 which is out on the test realms now. Just above the line about all exp for quests you do at lvl 60 being converted into gold, which will cause hell if it's applied retroactively, and cause hell if it's not.

Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 23 March 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

my friend wrote a totally awesome review of WoW:

A gay timesink for the whole family.

World of Warcraft is basically a massively multiplayer online role playing game, in these modern high tech days of internet downloading and uh uh uh (UH!!!!!!!!!!!) file PSP to peer sharing trades, where you walk to an area, hit enemies until they die, and watch a little bar go up. If you're lucky, there's a 1 in 1000 chance you will get a cool item with a name that implies you will use it to beat the shit out of more monsters, and you'll use it for the next 20 levels because you won't find anything better. In Korea, you can make 50 games that do that and nothing else, and I guess it sells.

Blizzard has taken the MMO thing and touched it up with some original stuff and put it in one of their gayer, more ridiculous cliched fantasy worlds, Warcraft. This "universe" was previously used for having your group of dudes move to your other group of dudes and hit them until they're dead. That was all changed in Warcraft 3, where the game was suddenly about the evil forces of Zul'gruth joining with the dark lord of Glork'plurn Bonegrip, and how you as the leader of Zul'Gurub Hive'ashi Kel'Thuzad Ner'Zul Zul'Farrak Flalf'hr'kllfffl Gluf'Blfbl Fs'ssaaaaa Nura'fa'Alra Lamarr Alexander #2. And then you switch to the orcs and must save your orc friends from the demonic forces of Zlar'kluurk's undead WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GAYNESS. The entire game's story is summed up as "a bunch of consonants separated by apostrophes." World of Warcraft takes place in this universe (minus destroying enemy fortifications which would've been awesome), but is really more like Diablo 2. This has some pretty positive aspects. If you liked Diablo 2 at all you will like many things in World of Warcraft. And then Blizzard went and fucked it up, and owes all of us a refund and rebate and sign our posts and blue please read FOR GOD'S SAKE PLEASE OH GOD I HATE YOU BLIZZARD FOREVER

Pros:
It's the best MMO out there. It's basically like Diablo 3. It's the most polished and optimized-for-gamers game. The well-rested system is a great idea for helping the more casual gamers. You can move while in combat, making the game less about watching your dude's arm swing as a monster's arm swings at you. You can sit to rest like normal but if you move forward it pulls you right out of sitting mode so you don't have to wait for the "getting up" animation like a dumbbell if enemies start hitting you. There's like a hundred little details like this that help make the game easier to get into and play.

Even the most basic of combat classes require some depth of play. The warrior class isn't just about hitting the enemy until they're dead, but about picking the right skills at the right time, and changing your battle stances to get access to more defensive skills or harder-hitting skills. Bloo blee blah stuff like that. Every race and class is carefully balanced properly so even their weaknesses will be offset by bonus strengths. Maybe a mage can only wear cloth armor, but their spells are extremely powerful and they can disable enemy players or monsters with a bunch of skills. Stuff like that. Hey that's............ that's not bad. :(

Cons:

Unfortunately, all this is still 10 years behind what MMOs should really be at right now. I sure could make a better game!

The biggest flaw of MMOs period (until the other biggest flaw period, mentioned later in the review) is that they require all your time even to get the most minor pointless things done. Either doing quests or going from one area to another, or sorting your inventory or crafting items. Or all of the above at the same time, which means you'll probably forget about some of them in the process. The game needs a todo list. Just another thing I would include if I could make my own MMO.

In WOW(craft) it's so bad that even when you have finished a bunch of quests and want to stop, you still have to keep going for another 20 minutes to a half hour, just to get back to the town and cash in the quests and maybe bank items and repair your shit and sell some junk and auction this, pick up this mail, talk to this dude, cash in something else, take the NEXT part of the quest yap yap yappity yap jizz trap. My brother came up with a great idea that would've solved some of that, which would be to mail your quest items (like the 12 enchanted wolf cocks for some fetch quest) to the NPC in question and have that count towards cashing in the quest. Again just another way that my brudda and I could make a better game than World of Warcraft.

Story: 0/10
Stupid. They don't even realize, IN THEIR OWN GAME, that they made the alliance (humans, dwarves, faggots) the bad guys who are secretly ruled by an evil dragon thingy. Meanwhile, the horde, which would stereotypically be the bad guys (orcs, badass cow dudes, TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TO THE CHURCH) are actually good guys who for the most part are trying to survive in a world of crazy evil humans secretly controlled by demons and dragons and shit, and all the mysterious OLD EVILS OF OLD(E) that pop up apparently every fuckin month on this retarded universe planet.

Even with the orc side apparently being the good guys, they still put Undead on the horde team, which is basically a bunch of rotting skeletons with skin. Who the fuck would want to play that as a game character? I can imagine wanting to crush it into a bunch of dust with like one hit when you're not even trying, but to put it in the game as a playable race is stupid. All of the undead quests revolve around poisoning dogs and cats, and friendly NPCs. That's not even an exaggeration, there are several uninterrupted quests you get from undead land (who's capitol city is the most poorly laid out and hardest to get around in the whole game) where you slog through several incredibly boring, time-wasting fetch quests to get items to make a "potion" that you "test" on a pet frog, dog, cat, tauren whatever the FUCK. And they die. They don't even learn to fly or use their magic crystal collar to tell you how to use gold to fix their UFO, they just drop dead, and then the dumb undead bitch who made you waste about 5 hours to do this quest (which only gives you a few hundred XP and like 5 silver) says "aaaaaaaa hahaha it works perfectly, also after 10,000 years I'm free." There was even a quest where you gather more of the same old "insert relevance here" item which could be anything as if it even fuckin mattered, and you take it back to find a cure for some poor poisoned tauren chick (FRIENDLY COW BABE). After traveling across continents and countries and running past like 200 hostile enemies to test some tide pools in a distant sea, and then take this junk all the way back, the "cure" is tested on the cow chick and she drops dead, and then the undead guy says something about "it worked better than I expected, I will prepare more samples." This shit doesn't even make sense in a fucking retarded MADE UP game world. But thanks for making me feel like I wasted my time to help the gayest horde race in the game, THANKS BLIZZARD (GIVE REFUND PZL). It also makes me think that they only put the undead race on the horde side to pad out their list of playable races.

At the same time, one of the stock bad guys inherently hostile to both factions is the "scourge." Apparently no one at Blizzard fact checked to find out that the "scourge" is the undead units from Warcraft 3. So why is the undead on the same side that's fighting itself? There is probably some ridiculous and boring backstory explaining this in the game, full of names with unnecessary apostrophies, and a lack of vowels.

Races: 2/10

There are four on each faction side, so that's.................... eight? IT'S EIGHT!

Since most of the races are basically the same, aside from some very minor racial bonus skills and stat boosts, which are barely worth SHIT, they can still be ranked by how cool they are (such as how they look, their mounts, their emotes or whatever). The rank goes like this, from best to worst: taurens, humans, orcs, trolls, dwarves, undead, gnomes, night elves. So taurens, the cow people, are basically the coolest race in the game (and also the biggest, hot), as they were in Warcraft 3 where they were introduced. Humans are the best alliance race, and female humans are the hottest female race while male taurens are the hottest male race which isn't even gay or nothin because taurens are so objectively great (not that there's anything wrong with that). And of course night elves are the biggest bunch of buttfucking faggots, possibly in game history. Anyone who voluntarily (or even involuntarily) plays a night elf is a horrible player and a horrible person; the kind of scumfucking loser you cringe at even imagining, who is most likely such a total mouthbreathing dweebdork that they draw horrible fanart of themselves as their night elves and cosplay as them, and get into huge fights with other players over ridiculous miniscule shit, and are obnoxiously whiny. I'm just assuming this, because I haven't known any night elf players, but I'm objectively right. Also Blizzard should add a feature in the game where you can dump a night elf's books.

Some people (and by people I mean "fags") play this for the storyline, which is retarded. Even if you were taking this game's "lore" seriously for even a minute, you should be snapped out of it by the time you are confronted with the ridiculous races, like the trolls being stereotypical Jamaicans, which I don't even understand. It's like, they're trolls........... from Jamaica? Do they have a Jamaica from wherever these trolls were from? Is there a Jamaica universe that the trolls (and actual Jamaicans ON OUR PLANET) have accidentally come through? And then the taurens, while awesome cow people (especially if you are a gay furry who likes to "yiff" with your "kits" or grab their neck fur in your sexy jaws or whatever retarded shit you do) are also stereotypical Native American Indians with totems and beliefs in ridiculous spirits, the only difference between Native Americans and taurens is that the mystical Earth Mother nature spirits and shit in World of Warcraft are supposed to be real, and the Native American spirits are NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And then Orcs are Klingons I guess. They couldn't even be a stereotype of a real human ethnicity, like the other horde races. And then the night elves, which are stereotypes of "buttfucking faggots" and anime fans who think that anime is real.

Multiplayer: 4/10

The ultimate failing of MMOs, besides them being gay time sinks, is that you have to play them with other players. That means you'll constantly run into people, even at level 60, who seem to have no clue what they are doing, ever, because even at the end game they are still somehow dumb newbs. What's worse is that as an MMO there are hundreds of other people running around the same world as you, therefore justifying the idea of having to be in raid groups to get anything done at the end of the game. This is completely impossible and pointless in "pugs" or "pick up groups," which are the random retarded assfuck newbs you find around the game. Most people do these dungeons within guilds, and only in guilds. So that means everyone in the end game guild with like 500 members will do the cool 40 player dungeons, and everyone else has to sit around with their thumb in their ass. You absolutely cannot play with just your 6 or 7 pals you know personally, because you'll still need another 3 or 4 or 20 dumbasses to fill spaces in the party. And usually the newbs will get your entire raid party killed by running off alone and drawing in the raid strength enemies, and some warrior loots priest equipment that becomes unsharable when it's picked up. Then the newbs get screamed at and everyone starts yelling at each other instead of playing. Blizzard hasn't thought of a way to get around this. I guess I shouldn't blame Blizzard for not being me.

Night Elves Being Gay: 10/10!
I'm not sure how this is possible, but there might be some super secret coding in the game that makes you hate night elves if you play on the horde side. Some of the only backstory in the game that isn't worthless is that the taurens (cow dudes) have a deep hatred of the night elves, going back many many years. And after playing as a tauren, because they're the best race in the game, I ended up hating night elves. Especially since most night elves, aside from looking really stupid with their 2 foot ears and shit, seem to be played by the kind of person who runs around LARPing in Wal-Mart flapping their vampire capes, collecting Nightmare Before Christmas figurines, getting into fist fights with their friends for bending the corners of their Yugioh cards, thinking they can turn invisible IN REAL LIFE, while roleplaying in the game and talking to other players like "o thou hast found thine fishing trainer" AND THAT IS THEM TALKING ABOUT THEIR OWN CHARACTER IN THE THIRD PERSON (wow that's bad). Usually they are part of the motherfuckers and will steal your fuckin CLOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG. Narnia.

Usually night elves are the people you see on PVP servers killing horde players 20 or 30 levels below them thinking it's just because they are so strong and badass, until someone their own level shows up and they immediately cloak, and will stay there for an hour or two waiting for a chance to kill newbs again. Unless they are found out, then they start bunny hopping around in a circle like a bunch of Kansas City FAGGOTS, which doesn't even help while the other player pounds them into hamburger, causing the night elf player to flail his noodle arms at his computer while going REEEEEE, cranking his linkin park CDs, all without retaining a single shred of dignity. But I guess I should not judge people who just want a Second Life............... AS A FAGGOT.

Crippling Failures: (this doesn't need a rating, but 10/10)
Besides the game simply ending when you get to level 60 if you happen to be playing with just a few of your friends, until you get to level 40 and can finally buy a mount, you will walk everywhere. Miles and miles of just plain walking. Bind a key to autowalk if you don't want to hold down the "forward" key for 10 straight minutes. Diablo 2 was known as a timesink because it kept you wanting to play more and more. This is a timesink because it forces you to protract your actions over a giant amount of time. Want to do a quest? Set aside a full hour, no matter how small the reward or pointless the objective is. They throw so many retarded fetch quests at you to further waste your time, where they want you to collect 20 slitherlurk slaghurfs toenails or whatever the fuck pointless item, but you'll usually only get one of them for every 5 kills. Add it all up and it's a half hour to collect pointless fetch quest item #324324978324890sdpfsdioatr what's the fuckin POINT ANYMORE

You can craft items in this game, which is helpful until about level 50 when all the items you'll really want will require farming 40 player raid zones for months to gather a bunch of rare random drop items, and you will need to find a way to get your profession skill PAST THE END GAME MAXIMUM to get these items. If you do this, you can't get into battlegrounds, leaving you almost nothing you could simply play alone or in small groups. When you hit 60, unless you know about 40 other people who are going to do those giant end game raid instances, you are completely done with the game and have nothing else to do, unless you want to fish forever, or grind battlegrounds for hours each day for a month to get higher ranks just to get a black kodo or better armor. Armor you will do what with? More NOTHING? Catch fish? Try to keep getting BETTER armor? Wait, you could fight a big purple dragon! Or an old ancient evil that is rising to destroy the world much in the same way the last 20 old(e) evil(e)s of old(e) did in most of the dungeons you do from level 40 on even though if one world, even a fantasy one, was being attacked by that many giant powerful armies you'd think that at least one of them would win or the world would explode or something. What is the fucking point? WHAT'S THE POOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNT

Since the game has been out for a year, most of the end game quest lines involve word of mouth through the servers to figure out when to do them, where, and for what. No one does this, so the game requires a bunch of wiki sites to progress, making any actual text within the game, which could've been used to oh I dunno actually point out what you should do, completely pointless.

Another dumb thing about MMOs is they'll always have some pointless block of text supposedly describing your quest. If they do properly, it'll tell you at least a general direction where you should go, what you should be killing and/or collecting, and where you should go to cash in your completed quest. Some quests don't, and require you to go on one of those dumb wiki sites that suggest you install the plugin to help create macros to use the site within the game until you realize you have just become a total fucking loser writing macros and having plugins that farm information off wiki sites JUST TO PLAY THIS GAME.

M1 Rating: 0/10
NO FUCKIN M1. No ragdolls. No gravity gun. No blowing up buildings. No mechs stomping through a forest as guitars dunt. Instead you must craft snowglobes and deliver them to a table in under 0 seconds. Aaaaaaaaaand....... go.

The better MMO I came up with while playing WOW that would fix all the problems currently inherent in MMOs: 10/10!
Yep, I'm pretty good.

Final Verdict"
This game is for girls and other FAGS.

So did he not make level 60 or something?

Is it sad that I got really REALLY happy when I picked up the Boots of Valor in a Scholomance run Sunday?

Dan (Geek) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

No, though impressions are that the tier 0 stuff may be the last time you're happy in this game.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 13:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Aw, really?

Oh well, here's hoping the expansion pack is awesome; I'm already drooling over the new lvl 70 raid instance in Deadwind Pass (WHICH REMINDS ME NOW THAT I'M 60 I SHOULD CHECK OUT DEADWIND PASS).

Dan (Farmer Brown) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 17:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, the impression that I got is that farming for the Tier 0 just got wiped out by the new patch (Straholme / Scholomance / Blackrock Depths are 5-man max, Upper and Lower Blackrock Spire are 10-man). So it seems like everything is tuned right, in that you need a good 10-man party for the 10-mans, 20 for the 20, 40 for the 40s, you can't just saddle up with some lame-os and kick the crap out of the Baron 5 times a day until he coughs up. And by all accounts getting a good team all the way through one of the 20 or 40-man dungeons is an incredible feeling (I know it is when you get 5 on-form chars in a standard instance). But then you realise that there's one guy who drops all the legpieces for everyone, and one guy who drops all the headpieces, and so it'll take roughly 40 attempts for them to drop you what you want, and it's not like you can head back in after you finish with nothing, it'll be another week.

(Though a good run with a good team is still fun, and I do regret that I quit the day before my guild was going to have it's first attempt at UBRS)

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 18:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay, I now have the Boots and the Belt of Valor! WOOT!

Still, FUCK BLIZZARD AND THEIR "UNSCHEDULED MAINTAINANCE ON THEIR AUTHENTICATION SERVERS" grrrr

wait, is this the thread where we're yakking about warcraft III too? coz i just started playing it and the main kid totally looks like Triple H(sans facial hair and about 20 years younger) with a doofy californian accent. nothing helps to encourage a fantastical sense of another time & place than just grabbing on the QA guys to voice a main character.

The Warcraft III Thread

It's amazing how much fun playing the AH is now that I've got a level 60! Last night I put 455G worth of stuff up there, some of it at prices designed to manipulate certain markets into rising; I've already caused the 16-slot bag market to zoom up, now it's time to do the same to the Lightforge Belts and the Beast cards.

Also I now have the Bracers of Valor!

dan, did you check out that song? it'll take some of the pain away.

teh_kit says 'FACES' (g-kit), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 13:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I assumed that was the same song that had the video of the blossoming night elf romance intercut with heartfelt studio singing of the song and as such I didn't want to experience it without the video.
