    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The main issue is and has always been this: they do whatever is in their power to make every little bit of content irrelevant in a matter of hours, except the last raid tier of course, which people can do once a week. I played 50 hours or so before being done with most of WoD "content". After...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can't understand how someone can defend WoD. It's like they created a ton of one-shot content that was done in a matter of hours and then phoned in a shitty raid like Highmaul to close the deal, it didn't even drop a tier set becase BRF is the same tier, har har har. So I levelled, doing...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    It's been said more eloquently by a poster on MMO-champion, but the only reason I play current WoW is because I have an attachment to my characters and the world, which I love despite the debatable quality of the lore at some points in the story arc. Most of my characters (7 of them) are from...

    Dungeons were one of the best features of vanilla WoW, definitely a very fun experience.

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I didn't enjoy the big raids in vanilla, because fuck having to coordinate 40 people, half of them armless monkeys. It was a nightmare back then, but I'm confident that today it would be different, especially on private servers, where most players know what's going on. Personally I just play to...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I'm trying that too, the .questexp 5 command helps to clear fast the starting levels, which certainly are the most boring ones. From level 20 onwards it's a lot more fun.

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Lost touch? Not sure. It was a dick move, that's certain. They got a lot more negative publicity from this than from anything else, if we exclude WoD as a whole, that's negative publicity enough for a lifetime. Legion changes are going to be shit, if I see myself, which I'm pretty much a...

    I was in Reunion, which formed from Ring der Nibelungen, previously all german and other non german players that came from different places. Hah, that name rings a bell, I was in TDE for a while, but being european, it became a chore to stay up late so often. It was during Luclin era, I still...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not looking at numbers in the least, but at mechanics, their concept of class fantasy and subsequent pruning of skills in order to give them only to certain specs or as talents, has pretty much fucked the gameplay. Example? BM hunter used to have a builder, cobra shot, that gave focus and...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I played a lot with the level 100 guys, so I don't mind that aspect, it's built into the game. I just loved how more RPG was vanilla, how as a hunter I had to care for the pet, tame new ones to learn skills from them and then teach them to my loyal companion, ground mounts because I don't like...

    There will be a new one in Legion apparently, maybe slightly less boring to mantain, I wish I could just flat out ignore it and let it rot in the hell it deserves. Fucking Facebook game in a MMO. On the other hand, I'm completing (well, on route) my tour among class forums about the current...

    Well, first of all, when PoP released, players were level 60, not 65. To level up players had access to some zones. Justice, Nightmare, Innovation, Disease. So called tier 1. Plane of Justice trials were the first, albeit little, cockblock for many casuals. The rest required a raid to clear...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    I think it was not just great, it was fucking amazing. I don't spend time on private servers exactly for this reason: one day I may lose all my shit just because stuff happens. If Blizzard would release a vanilla server, I'd spend 90% of my WoW time there and 10% playing on live servers. I...

    I wish I had alpha acess, just to test personally the stuff they are implementing. For the few specs I'm following, the changes are mostly shit covered in shit and the reasoning behind those changes are retarded, to say it mildly. Where to start? Let's go from arbitrarily removing skills...

    I'd probably end up Shilling style, so in case I find 300 millions on the ground, I'll pass if that's the same for you I understand what you say, but there is one thing to consider: WoW is about making everything accessible, more and more as time passes, removing the most interesting parts of...

    I disagree, because nobody gives a shit anymore about the cloak, just as the ring will be forgotten very very soon once we enter Legion. The only use you can pull out of the cloak nowadays is to look pretty and do some extra dps during timewalking. Unfortunately I can't make the cloak anymore...

    A friend told me: "I can craft shit, but I can't trade it to guildmates or friends, so where is the difference between this and Skyrim?". It's a soloing game, except if you like PvP, in which case it becomes an exploiting game or a "bigger guild wins" game. The solo part is quite good, I admit...

    You have a lot more tools today as a tank to survive, not that pathetic shield block of TBC era. As a Brewmaster between gigantic bubble from Guard, Elusive Brew, impressive self healing and an unparalleled ability to kite for "whooops" pulls, I feel like a god among gods compared to the life as...

    Talking with my friends about the game, we're extremely disappointed about the anti-trading system. It's absurd I can't give shit I craft to a friend, but have to go through a overly taxed marketplace. There is a lot of stuff to do, that's true, but I think it's missing a few important things...

    Depends on gear and group dps, but generally speaking in mythic dungeons there is more damage incoming and less status effects such as stuns, drains, disorient and whatnot. I find them on par with tbc or slightly easier, but as a brewmaster everything is easy to manage in dungeons. As a healer...

    It's something you do out of boredom, or because it's fun for you, hardly efficient by itself, but it can speed up runs by a lot. I ran as shadow priest with Tarecgosa and SoO set bonus, plus 715 ring and some good trinkets, fully gemmed and enchanted: it fucking destroys everything, I can...

    Pre-scourgelord trash casts Blight which is a disease ticking for 5k on 30k health players and it spreads. Healers don't have the globals to dispel it, so if you have a monk/paladin tank and/or dps, the pulls become a fucking joke, otherwise they become much harder unless everyone stops being AE...

    Sorceress tip: use left/right with LMB after packing up a lot of mobs (4 to 8) to refill your mana bar. Pull with shift+RMB to leech health, S+LMB to demolish packs in 2 hits or 3, shift +RMB followed by LMB to Dark Wave, which is the main offensive AoE spell in the toolkit. Learning to dodge...

    Luclin was so unfinished that it made me cry.

    For those who don't know, there are two daily quests that reward a Blackstone (Armor) and a Blackstone (Weapon). The former you can get from the chief of Velia, renting his adventurer seal for 20 (or was it 40?) contribution points, the other from Jordine in Heidel, renting his item for 60...

    Just use steel, it doesn't matter if you don't go against deep reds or purple and if the rest of your gear has enough accuracy you can dispatch even purples.

    Where should I begin? Let's go from the start, shall we? I played Rift in beta and it was very fun, despite being the standard theme park MMO. It felt rewarding to participate in the rift events, you got a lot of planarite, in fact just enough to purchase a couple pieces from the vendor...

    My opinion is that the hardcore part is not their main issue, it's certainly one, but as an anecdote, all the people that started playing with me, chose to quit before level 25. I pushed hard and all I could do was getting to 29 and giving a try to the other classes (because I may have picked...

    Swtor is also making quite a lot of money. Maybe the RoI isn't stellar, but at least the game is still going strong and being profitable. The EQ franchise on the other hand... is probably making peanuts.

    Talking about PvE, this game has two levels of difficulty, one is Wizard/Witch, the other is everyone else. A class that can sustain itself indefinitely for both HP and mana hardly using any potion, that can destroy single target and aoe, that can heal others (and res them). Cons? It looks like...

    The evil scheme of forcing me to play BnS to get to 45 in 3 weeks, right when Black desert releases... how long does it take to cap from scratch? Consider my highest and only character so far is 25, so I don't have massive knowledge of the game. I'll check out this warlock for sure.

    I'm asking a quick question, because I can't read 18 pages right now: is this any good in PvE? Will I absolutely need a large guild? Presuming I won't care about PvP at all, is it worth spending any money on it? Thanks in advance.
