Hiya folks,
So quick plug. I just picked up WoW along with all of the expansions. I've been pretty hestitant to get into MMOs, but I'm going to give WoW a shot. If you have been curious about the game and would like to give it a shot with someone else that is inexperienced (and level at 3x the normal rate), respond here. I think it would be fun to play with some of you stardock board folks. Anyway, there is a free 10 day trial, so if you just want to give it a go at no cost, reply. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, wilebill.
I'll be picking up guild wars 2 when its released and already have all of gw 1.
Having played through WoW since the beginning I do understand many of ZehDon complains about BC. I don't agree that it was worse then vanilla upon release. But the whole attunement system didn't work very well, and there were definitely significant issues they didn't think through with their initial raid progression setups. Of course vanilla WoW had tons of issues too.
The state of BC on release is irrelevent though because all the raiding things ZehDon complains about were taken out of the game before too long. They acknowledged that they had made a mistake and changed it. In fact based on his comments and the things he said he misses, I suspect ZehDoh would have loved the next expansion that came out (other then possibly the pvp which still had an arena focus, although not as much of one).
Too true. While it might seem mind numbingly easy in the beginning.. it starts to pick up and you get more and more skills to work with. They introduce them at a slow enough rate that you're comfortable with using them. By the end, you have a billion skills / macros / things on your bars and you know what they all do. If you've never played and look at a lvl 85's ui, it can be entirely overwhelming lol. They introduce things at a nice rate tho.
Also, side note for anyone who hasn't started playing cataclysm yet or doesn't know whether they want to get back in it: They've seriously improved so much. They've improved the system once again, making things less tedious. However, other things have been made more challenging (heroics are actually difficult now.. require cc / communication). I've bitched significantly in the past about BC and Wrath issues.. but so far, Cata has been great. Trimmed the fat, expanded on the good stuff, got rid of some of the bad. It's still a little too easy to get epics, but at least not for a little while (heroics don't drop epics anymore).
Missed this post
Anyhow - I play with some regularity on Blackwater Raiders. Vanguard of Norrath is the guild - a group of ex-hard-core raiders that still likes to play but doesn't have all of the time anymore.
My main right now is Hamedo there. Give me a /w if you are still playing and get on.We keep a vent going for most 5-mans+
