yeah, I admit it, I probably am.

Even though it's bad, I still really like Warcraft's story and it's my guilty pleasure. Playing since Warcraft 2 and following all the characters does something to you.

Plus, I'm a sucker for time travel shenanigans and this seems really fun and I'm looking forward to that.

yea, so whats the scoop on this expansion?

They're crunching all the big numbers, and purging like 75,000 redundant abilities right?

yeah, and making new models for the characters. they say they are redoing the quest system. Hopefully they go back to vanilla wow's class quests again because I really enjoyed playing a class because it was different from all the other classes

no class quests, no new scenarios, two zones that will "hopefully" be patched in, another "never unsub or you can't raid" legendary questline, siege of orgrimmar again for the final raid

enjoy mop 1.1

I stopped playing WoW before the first expansion came out. Give me an exhaustive wall of text explaining the changes the game has undergone. Because "condensing hero abilities" seems pretty loving huge.

Is that a thing? Welp, not going to re-sub my hand of adal priest if taking a few months off is all it takes to be ineligible. My $15/month is going to the liquor store once again.

well as the game has gone on for about 10 years blizzard decided every class needed to be very similar. so each class got a bunch of new skills over the years which are comparable to other classes. because of this each class has like 20 or 30 skills which need to be mapped somewhere. often players will use alt or control as a modifier. So, pressing '2' gives one ability, pressing 'ctrl + 2' gives another.

oh you can raid. technically. good luck finding a raid that will take you if you don't have the mandatory legendary ring + other legendary items fromt he grindy as gently caress questline.

they did it in mop with the legendary cape/meta gem and learned exactly nothing apparently

yeah it went on sale yesterday

anyway i did the digital preorder a while ago OP because i was going to play with my friends in warlords but i dont know if that will happen now so i'm kind of regretting my purchase. it will probably be a decent expansion but the stuff about yet another legendary questline really rubs me the wrong way because its such a terrible idea

its "sinking" to still like 5x as much as the next most popular mmo

wow is fine and will get another bump with warlords but yeah the boxed edition costing $90 is uncool

Silver Striker

the normal boxed edition costs 50, which is more than the previous ones did iirc

it kinda sucks but i'm pretty sure the old collectors editions were 70 base. they were generally worth it, too, as they came with cool stuff IMO.

MMos as a whole are dying. Being top MMO is like being king of poo poo mountain. The fact that they're adding more grind poo poo in is showing just how bad it's become. They're not all that big into the fun aspect anymore. And it's really telling when the devs who left come out and say it.
