Are they ever going to make a new game or just keep adding stuff to this one? The graphics are kind of old-looking.

2 80s, and a pally slowly drifting that way. Under control right now: not playing much, mostly dailies and AH to get a little pile of gold for Cata expenses. Oh, and the event has been sort of fun so far.
I'm ok with the graphics, am in that large-ish swathe of audience thinking 'plz plz plz plz don't make it too pretty, want it to run on my laptop'.
Want to roll a Worgen, but I am for the horde.

I think blizzard is working on an entirely new mmo which will probably take most of the people off of wow. theyll still support it but probably never replace

I'm making at least one goblin, too; maybe in addition to finally leveling a druid, I'll finally level a rogue!
lol we should pick a server and start a casual fuck around guild from scratch

fwiw, some buddies of mine were talking about doing this very thing---we're all gonna be gnomes
i actually started mine already :-/

Heard a little about that, but can't remember any details, just forum QQ - "Blizz won't make good new content for WoW b/c the dece designers will be on the new game."
I will take my rouge to 85, p slowly, then maybe get my durid up.

Not every time any more. Only when I imagine myself trying to explain it to others. Or when it makes me late for something (press lunch with gf at v nice restaurant two days ago. I mean yes, whoops, but those rifts in Thunder Bluff needed closing).
wld be into an ilxor casual guild, but the great atlantic divide would scupper me - I'm on the eu servers.

― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Thursday, 18 November 2010 19:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I think maybe I'd need a US account (and hence fresh US copies of the games to associate with it) to play on the US servers. I went through a bit of this with an American friend a couple of years ago, but I'm not 100% I'm remembering correctly.

i may give in when cata comes out and restart. feel like it'd be going back to heroin after kicking it for a year plus.
I would play my presit for sure. pewpew.

oh dude, not to lure you in or anything but shadow DPS is pretty great right now
(granted this is from the perspective of someone who's mainly a healer with scrubby DPS alts who had enough currency to totally gear out his main's offspec, so maybe in conjunction with other DPS it isn't that great, but it's sort of amazing to kill non-elite 80 mobs in 1.5 seconds)

― BO (DJP), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
good luck. thought about taking the plunge back into WoW again myself but it's a scary place to live when you're eating/breathing/drinking WoW 24/7.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
well let me say this:
at level 80, you get a seahorse mount for underwater travel
― BO (DJP), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 14:51 (thirteen years ago) link
sort of unhappy about having to go underwater in the first place. Like no matter how many breathing and movement buffs and mounts you give me, I still think 'god underwater level whenwillitend whenwillitend'.
So yeah, I've headed for Hyjal instead - between that and rolling a Worgen there go my winter evenings.
― portrait of velleity (woof), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 15:38 (thirteen years ago) link
There is an entire quest line that is a parody of Jaws, though, down to the quest names; it's kind of great.
I got my priest to 82 and a worgen druid up to 13 yesterday; one of my friends described the goblin starting zone as "I didn't know if I was playing WoW or GTA" but I don't know how hyperbolic that statement was.
― BO (DJP), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 15:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Spent a couple of hours getting my main Rogue started on the trip to 85, & getting a new Worgen Rogue up and running. Cockney fishwife Worgen voices are a1, posh Worgen ok too; wolf form looks good, but not sure about the human models, fiddled with them for a while, kept ending up with variations on an Oliver Reed.
― portrait of velleity (woof), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I intentionally didn't try to make my worgen's human form look like me (for a change!) and ended up with a pretty bad-ass wolfman form, so I'm pleased about that. Their whole story line was a lot of fun to play (lol at Grandma Wahl, one of the best NPCs to pop up in a while) and yes, the Cockney fishwives are A+.

holy shit guys i still dont have the patience to get a character past, say, level 20something
how much am i missing out on
― kanellos (gbx), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:51 (thirteen years ago) link
game doesn't start until 85
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
for real?
i've kinda heard that suggested (it's "endgame" right?), but never really bought it
― kanellos (gbx), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^ I never believed this until I started actually seriously doing endgame dungeons
Even now, it's less "game doesn't start" and more "game becomes subtly different"
― BO (DJP), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, idk about 85 since I haven't played Cataclysm, but it was certainly true for me for levels 70 (Kara was really a game unto itself) and 80 (heroic dungeons and Naxx)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link
huh. well then.
― kanellos (gbx), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I re-activated last night after not having played for a fairly long time. I have no idea how to play this anymore, which I am pretty excited about.
― get off my lawn (rockapads), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Things def change at max level. I enjoy levelling more than endgame tbh; I usually turn to the large scale PVP (Wintergrasp, AV), since I don't like hanging out in dungeons with random ppl (I'm unguilded; the one time I was in a guild, that's when the habit got really bad - scheduling my life so I could be in on a Friday to run instances, rather than just playing a bit when I happened to be in).

― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
and that's why i can't play WoW anymore
is it even possible to solo up to the endgame?
― kanellos (gbx), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 17:32 (thirteen years ago) link
(i know there's hella resources out there for WoW, i'm trying to avoid them, i don't want to turn into....well, you guys ;)
― kanellos (gbx), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, unless you have friends to level up with you (and who promise only to play at the exact times that you're playing) you're going to pretty much be solo leveling up to the endgame
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link
so this is crack
― kanellos (gbx), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
and apparently if i want access to all the stuff that cataclysm offers i have to buy all the prior expansions (which is nearly $100!). that seems....unlikely.
― kanellos (gbx), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Did they stop the big sale? As of two weeks ago, the original game + both xpacs was $50.
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
and yes, it is crack

this actually reminds me, I keep meaning to go back through the Horde side of this at some point
from what I can tell, you guys got dicked over majorly (death of Caine, Garrosh's ascendancy, Sylvanis becoming more overtly evil)
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 22:26 (thirteen years ago) link
It's not awful but I'm finding it annoying. Like they've taken stuff that was fun in small doses in Wrath and pushed it way too far - linear questing, 'epic' plot lines w/ cinematics, tons of phasing. They did narrative well in Wrath; I think the praise led them astray.
Also, a bit too much vehicle stuff. The novelty wore off in Wrath. Don't want to be a Naga with 4 abilities.
Also swimming.
It'll prob be a lot better once I've levelled.
I'm ok in principle with Blizz shaking up the comfy cosy honourable Horde, but yeah, it's sort of sad. Era of inclusive & managerial New Horde soft politics shifting into an aggressive, divisive & militarised government. I blame the Goblin financiers.
(New Orgrimmar great though, prob our biggest gain)
― portrait of velleity (woof), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
The new instances are bad-ass, although I do swear that if I have to go through Halls of Origination one more time...
Also if you are playing a caster class and are not a healer, STOP ROLLING ON SPIRIT GEAR. IT NO LONGER GIVES YOU EXTRA BONUSES AND I ACTUALLY NEED IT TO REPLACE QUEST GREENS. GOD.
