    This sounds like the response of someone that WoW butt hurt badly.

    Anyways, I give them props for finally revitalizing the original continents. I am sure it will be fun, and good experience, and there will be some good PVP action. But people will chrun and burn it, and the elitist will power through as normal.

    More of the same.... Oh and the year you spent getting Naxx & Ulduar loot... well it will probably be obsolete in about 1 month after this release. So.... hip hip hooray.

    Oddly enough, it makes me want to play Alliance as a Worgen though LOL

    I liked WoW, it just needed better PvP.

    Arenas were cool.

    haha I've been playing one day and my Dk is up to 65. I like the grind in this game, I never got bored of it.

    Definitely going to take it to 80 and finally try some endgame, which is what I never did before.

    I'm stoked to finally play through the new content. I figure by wednesday night / thursday i'll be 70.

    The game + expansions still looks fun to me. It's too bad they kill it in between expansions every time. Making you grind for stupid shit that becomes obsolete.

    But they have "achievements" now that won't make it obsolete! /sarcasm.

    And having cleared all the "new" content in the game I gotta say i'm disappointed. It just doesn't compare to the vanilla wow. I cleared naxx the day I dinged 80. Ulduar was cleared by my guild in 2 raid resets. The new Crusaders Coliseum is.... just sad. We've killed each new boss within an hour of trying each time. I still remember wiping on 1 boss for a raid reset in vanilla, and even TBC! They just failed with this expansion and will fail again imo.

    It's too mainstream for your taste now cruel. I know what you are talking about. I am hoping cataclsym is a throw back to the good ol days, but it wont be.

    I stopped playing WoW when Ulduar came out. I do not like the new raids.

    Actually the fact that every patch or update sincwe WOTLK, they have to change a class or change arena, or change items to allow for balancing... drives me up the wall. That shit is just gay. That is why I quit... I log in one day respec... log in the next day, need to respec and get different items, log in next day, have all my points back and have to respec...that is what made this game gay.

    As much as I liked WoW for how smooth it felt (I actually kind of liked the PvE in that game), I can still say that I really am still gravitating toward my DAoC roots. I'm still playing it and still having a complete blast.

    Aion will be fun. Finally settling down on a magic class... and I have to tell you... I couldn't be happier. The stealth classes, just dont do it for me...

    Re: New WOW Expansion : Cataclysm

    Wow wouldn't be a huge pile of shit if they had kept the fine balance between hardcore and casual... but they went full on casual. The only thing that separates the new WoW from Hello Kitty Online is the graphics IMO.

    Raids: Pfffft who needs coordination? Now you can do it with any ragtag group! Your whole guild will feel like pros!
    PvP: ^
    PvE: ^
    "Hard Stuff": ^

    Seriously. Thinking back to TBC, after that I honestly have no desire to even play the game anymore. Some of the shit looks cool, and it's cool that they're completely changing the terrain of the game... but to what end?

    And my biggest gripe... they've been spending all their time on... this? WHERE THE FUCK IS DIABLO 3 AND STARCRAFT 2 YOU ASSHOLES? FUCK. YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR WOW SUBSCRIBERS BY THE BALLS. FUCK THEM. SPEND MORE TIME MAKING DIABLO 3 AND STARCRAFT 2. FUCK!

    Re: New WOW Expansion : Cataclysm

    i wouldnt judge raids so fast. You still need a core group who is willing to pay attention. They are not easy and take time... but if you can manage to get 10-20 people to pay attention, than yea, most of the raids are doable.

    But yea I wouldnt judge to harshly, most of you aside from... i dont know... cruel and I... have not even touched 70+ experience yet.

    Blizz will ride WoW out, until they are about to launch their next MMO, than they will slowly phase players/updates out.

    But who cares... I Just want DIABLO 3.

    BTW cataclsym, IMO, is blizz's way of dealing with Aion. Everytime they have a threat in another game, they pump out an expansion, or large patch.

    Because that's the criteria by which everyone judges good from bad games.

    You are right, this would be a hasty judgement. But, it is the criteria for judging completed from incomplete... which than in turn determines whether the game is good or bad.

    Warhammer, spells not casting when you click them... basically ended that game for me and many others.

    If you look hard enough at any game you'll find stuff like that. Jumping is unfortunately something EVERYONE DOES ALL THE TIME. That kind of puts it right in your face. It's not a gameplay issue, it's only an issue for people like Eric that nit pick small flaws. This one resulted in him completely missing out on one of the best games ever made.

    Because of the jumping, Mythic missed out on one of the best MMO players of all time.
