WoW

[Escape]

What's happening with WoW? Since the beta started, all the hype's died down.
Is this good or bad? oO

 

[Coim]

Clearly a good thing. People are so engrossed in playing it, they haven't been able to quit off and tell everyone how amazingly cool it is.

That's my theory anyways.

 

[Eroa]

Think WoW will suck cause it will be filled with way more l33t ppl then there is in daoc. And will be ALOT of l33t american kiddies that think you should die if your not an american aswell.

 

[Linnet]

It's a good thing They are listening to the beta testers and making changes and tweaks, putting lots of new stuff in. There's no NDA so the reason you aren't hearing much is:

a) Because you aren't reading the WoW forums
b) People are having fun and just playing the game.

What no one knows yet is quite how the end game will be, since the current beta level cap is 39 but the final cap will be about 60. Expect to hear more with each new 'push' and they haven't had one for a few weeks

 

[Minimez]

Will it be released simultaniously? If it doesnt i wont be playing it cba to read a walkthrough again, want something new and challenging ect.

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Problem with 1337ists is that they almost all use buff-bots. When i last played (about a year ago now) every time i passed through somewhere, it was half populated by bots, all owned by lvl 50 chars. It was a little pathetic to tell the truth, and i hope, nay, i PRAY that bots will be banned in WoW. Takes all the fun out of the game, and makes the community stagnant. After all, you ever had a conversation with a bot? Neither have i, and thats the problem.

 

[Deacan]

There is no buff class in WoW, lots of the classes have their own unique buffs.

And don't worry about the "leet d00d american kiddies" as there is plans for Korea, American and Europe servers.

We just have to deal with Spanish paladins instead

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Paladins, pah. There "all lightning but no congragation" if you get my meaning.
There "all fist and no thought"
"Assassin fodder"
"Heavyweight hessian half-wits"
"Walking archery boards"

or, to be more clear

"First in line for the butt-wuping (squeal piggy, squeal)"

 

[Conchabar]

Fuck WoW give guildwars!!!

 

[harebear]

Fuck WoW and Guildwars, gifv Darkfall! (will play WoW anyway and see what its really like when its actually finished)

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Bugger em both. Theif 3. ok it's no MMORPG, but it's a damn good game all the same.

 

[Ning]

seems there is nothing new in this MMORPG. Blizzard just choose the best things of every existing MMORPG but didn't innovate too much IMO.

 

[Yeppy Kinkster]

Didn't most MMORPGS nick their ideas from Diablo?

So.. Blizzard like planted a seed ( an apple tree seed ) and the seed grew into a beautiful apple tree, which all the other gaming companies nicked an apple from, then with the seeds from the apples, the gaming companies grew their own tree. When those trees turned into beautifaul trees.. Blizzard came around and picked the best apples from each tree.

hehehe.. fluffy clouds.

 

[Conchabar]

ultima online! was prolly where most ideas were nicked

 

[Archeon]

Definatly going to at the very least give Wow a try after seeing this 46mb). Yes the graphics are cartoony as just about everyone keeps saying, but then again it is a fantasy game afterall - not some kind of Max Payne rip

 

[Revz]

Didn't most MMORPGS nick their ideas from Diablo?

Haha, you are joking I assume?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Haha, you are joking I assume?

Yeah like...everyone knows that all the MMORPG ideas came from Asteroids. And from Frogger in a lesser extent.

 

[Deacan]

They are going to be putting higher poly models in later on.

But trust me when i say, when you play it the world feels amazing.

Am going to be playing it on a fraction v fraction server, will be nice to scream "For the Horde" and charge into death itself

 

[Conchabar]

bah stole my advater !!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Deacans pussy is bigger then Conchabars.


Must have a higher level thane

lol :worthy:

i will probably try out WoW, the 1337 kiddies can be ignored, works well enough in DAoC anyway, otherwise i might seek refuge on a RP server

oh and im praying for some faction vs faction too!

my troll hunter will eat you all

 

[Deacan]

I can't wait to kill Nightelves, and all the Legolas wannabes, i shall be putting hoof to ass.

Horde vs. Alliance Race War Server
The Horde vs. Alliance race war server will establish a straightforward method for the development team to test and balance the races and classes in a PvP environment. PvP concepts will be gradually introduced on this server. This means that the initial implementation of PvP is not how our final model will work once World of Warcraft is released. This patch includes the fundamental ideas of PvP in order to tune and refine the very foundation of our PvP model.

On the Horde vs. Alliance race war server, territories will be indicated whenever a player enters a new zone. The zone name will now include additional information to inform the player of the territories status. Additionally, the mini-map will be color coded to indicate who controls the zone:

Green = Friendly
Red = Enemy
Yellow = Contested

Players will be able to initiate player vs. player combat based on what territory they are in:

* Players in friendly territories are safe unless they decide to engage an opposing faction player in combat.
* Players in enemy territories will always be at risk and can be attacked by all players that belong in the territory.
* All players can be attacked in neutral (contested) territories.

Actions that will enable a player for PvP status on the Horde vs. Alliance race war server will be:

* Entering or being in an enemy territory
* Entering or being in a contested territory
* Attacking an NPC of the opposing faction
* Attacking another player
* Aiding a player engaged in PvP

Players will also be able to enable PvP on their own by using the /pvp command. Once PvP has been enabled for a player, no matter what the method, it will remain in effect for five minutes.

sounds fun

 

[harebear]

Just read early WoW is gonna have a pvp server, sounds much more interesting again

 

[Dillinja]

How very... strange.

 

[Conchabar]

after i heard about guild wars i refuse to play WoW

 

[harebear]

you played the guild wars alpha or beta (or what ever the fuck it was) thing at E3 conch? :x

 

[Asharith]

i played GW and think its not that great .. its more a game to play on the side tbh ..

But WoW Fecking Stunned me today there plans for PvP are Symply the best and that with great atmosphere and nice PvE will make it the game to beat for all other mmorpgs and TEH game for all gamers who dont mind a game which puts gameplay above realism.

I played WoW beta (mostly on Stormcraft though but played real beta for a couple of days aswell ) and did some light PvE and some quest and i simply got blown away . Its really something new after Daoc where i never even read quest chat etc cause its long and boring ( alltough some ppl like it that way ) wow was more quick and fast to understand . Lets hope they wont make a frensh and german server and that lets hope that they will have a global launch.

ETA was december i fear .. seems like a great X-mass gift.
