WoW

[bouncer_the_dog]

Well, i finally uninstalled it. Cancelled the account and got a large amount of disk space back.

Now i'm bored

I know exactley how you feel..

But maybe I'll wait until Age of Conan comes out...

 

[DexterTCN]

I do as well. But the game hs so many stupid flaws that I cannot be doing with it anymore. I mean having to actually guide yoru spirit body back to the corpse upon dying is one of the most irriating and pointless things I've ever had to do in a video game. Without exception.

To say nothing of the broken targetting system and the insanity of mobs respawning right next to you after you killed them!

The game assumes you can play it to your highest ability.

It's a bitch.

ooh barbarians! how exciting!

 

[strung out]

your all fucking noobs

 

[subversplat]

Graphical MUDs! Whatever next?

It's a bitch.

the game also assumes you're going to tolerate all sorts of shit. As do the fawning player base who cannot see these problems. Fuck me if Blizzard thinks racing around as a ghost is fun!

I played Evercrack* about 4 or 5 years ago for period of a 9 months perhaps.



never again.

well 9million players evidently do think its fun

 

[Sunray]

I started playing it about 3 weeks ago. Level 33 Rogue

I love RPGs so I'll probably play it for quite a while.

<Waves good bye to DexterTCN's life>

 

[strung out]

it needs to come with a warning tbh and i'm really not kidding, that game fucked up the last 10 months of my life... i've been clean for 2 weeks now though

correction: 8,999,999

6 million of them are chinese btw. 2 million of them being gold farmers. A point they never seem to make in their adverts.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

What annoyed me was that it took so long to get to level 60 and there was noone to do any instances with, they were all in Outland.

Oh come on - the penalty for dying in WoW is nothing compared to most MMOs.

 

[wishface]

I've never understood the logic behidn the argument that says that if something else is worse by comparison then the subject must be therefore acceptable.

Racing around as a ghost is what utterly destroyed the game for me (though was by far from the only issue).

Why do it? Why make the fucking player tramp around in order to get back from a graveyard? What the fuck is the point? It's not like he has anywher elese to go?

Utter utter shit and I am well out of it.

I think if clear that Blizzard are quite ok with this bizarre secndary economy that WoW's popularity has spwaned.

Unfortuantely the availablity of gold, at a price, in the real world for use in the game totally destroys any sense of balance the game has.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I think the idea is that you don't die, so you don't have to ghost run. Get your character IMBA to prevent early deaths...

 

[obanite]

Why do it? Er, so in PvP you can't come back to life straightaway and kill whoever killed you.

(Unless they're a warlock or a shaman )

 

[wishface]

I dont think anyone wants to get killed in the game. I certainly didn't but that didn't stop the stupid game respawning the mobs i'd djust killed while fighting another!

Better would have been to take the same time period and just operate a timer. When that ends the player can either ez at the graveyard (or his hearthsone) or where he died as normal. THis way I can go and have a piss and take a short break rather than have to guide my spirit back acorss land (just as if he were NOT a ghost) for no fucking reason!.

They could stop that in a second if they wanted. Get rid of gold transfers between players.

In a blink of an eye, loads of Chinese lose their jobs.

 

[wishface]

Hah!

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I am feeling severely tempted to re load WOW.....

 

[wishface]

Jesus forgives you.

But not me.

For it is tedious, slow and complete with a rubbish setting.

But I want to play it... urgh... My electricity bill dropped by £30 since uninstalling it..

 

[strung out]

i've been clean for about 4 weeks or so now. not a day goes by that i dont think about wow and the next epic i could be getting i must stay strong though

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Im trying to give up the fags.... its addiction replacement..

I'm detoxing with Wow replacement therapy; Battlefield 2. Advantage - you can stop a session without thirty people screaming at you.

 

[strung out]

i'm lucky that my guild's progress has pretty much stopped since i quit the game. i'm sure when they down their first boss in serpentshrine cavern i'll get the cravings worse than ever.

 

[Gromit]

I need to find a replacement for Wow. I miss being part of a gaming community. But not a mmorpg. Never again.

guild wars is your friend...

shorter missions, ability to map travel to save all that walking from place to place and, IMO, better graphics. also no monthly fee, or counterstrike source if you like FPS. there is even a U75 CSS clan
