Only that can be written about it is that its not revolutionary but a way to hide empty servers.

First that ridiculous score for Aion, now this, might as well get back to the player forums where even the fanboys are less rabid in their adoration.


 

Exactly. Blizzard is already offering pets OUTSIDE of the game at a cost since ... 5 years now. Even with the introduction of the game you had pets out of the game.

For YEARS pets and non significant game vanity stuff is being offered through the Card game (buying them for ovcer 300 Euros on the ebay channels or through Blizzcon (125 Dollars).

The only thing that changed was the click button to pay: instead of an ebay button, you  now click on the Blizzard button.

--- > The fact this site AGAIN decided to go with that title shows their attitude. Instead of writing about the revolutionary cross server dungeons and new LFG tools, they shit on Blizzard - like always.

----> However we had a RL meeting with our guild yesterday.

-----------

And just to inform you for all WOW haters: the new direction  Blizzard is taking WITH the new game mechanics (cross servers, dual specs, very easy PUG pick ups, CHOICES in content diffculty (per boss even),  is a BOOST to having fun at your level (wherever you are in the game).

And Blizzard ensures it 24/7 in groups as of patch 3.3.

An unseen achievement for a game that will celibrate its 5 th anniversary (but Blizzard constantly fine tunes the game of course).

What most of you don't understand.... BLIZZARD now shapes this industry .... and the others try to follow and fail.

The new keyword is 24/7 PVE/PVP grouped gaming fun at YOUR pace in YOUR time at YOUR level

Patch 3.3 can't come quick enough. It'll blow the "old concepts" of mmorpg's away.

And CATACLYSM will be the atomic bomb on top of these new mechanics.

Now THIS is inside news dear editors of mmorpg.com, not some vanity pet on a click button.

I pity the competition.

 

 

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

LOL. How about being a frustrated WOW hater these days ....:))))
 

read about it here:

http://www.wow.com/2009/11/07/patch-3-3-luck-of-the-draw-buffs-you-for-pugging/

The cross server dungeons (together with the dual specs) and the ALREADY clustered PVP simply allows a 24/7 GROUP play in an MMORPG on YOUR level and YOUR gear status.

BTW yesterday EU English had ... 42 servers on FULL of which 8 were locked. Try entering realms like Al Akir at prime time in EU.

.... and patch 3.3 isn't even out yet.

As always the competition struggles MILES behind. Probably being based on "concepts" than rather have GAMING elements to promote play 24/7.

Like I said : Blizzard now shapes this industry and the rest comes (far) behind in adapting its techniques.

The 5% buff is NOT a good thing, in my opinion. As if the dungeons weren't too easy as it is.

Go ahead and dream on, if the servers were booming with activity that lfg tool is useless, but yet you hink its a welcome addition, makes one wonder not?

Btw stolen from GW as there you can switch to american korean chineese and european servers for 4 years already,  finding groups  24/7 as you can change to servers with different timezones so nothing revolutionary about it.

 

Blizzard shapes nothing, they just copy paste.

Rabid fanboy at its finest.

What about arguments instead of the usual insulting stuff.
 

Against the options of playing 24/7 on ANY level and/or gear on your terms perhaps ? :))) Remember the cross server realms are a supplement to your realm baesed groups AND is being complemented by a guild leveling system both in PVE AND in an organised PvP competition (guild wise) on your ... realm.

And BTW GW's ... lack the  999 other options WOW offers like Realm based guild progress and massive Lake Wintergrasp PvP.

Perhaps throw out some comments instead of one word insults.

Ok, well the 5% buff is going to make dungeons that are too easy even easier, hows that?

I don't think I need to *study up* on a 5% buff, thanks though.

Also, I guarantee you I have been playing the game a lot longer than you have.

And so it shows you are NOT playing it now, since you don't understand what it means "no more instances can be launched at this time".

The catch is that blizzard found the new catchy word for mmorpg play and you are not following: 24/7 group play on your gaming exprience.

It is quite the opposite of old mmo designs: where the OTHERS decided you would HAVE to play.

Actually, that was one of the reasons I quit. Nice try though.

Other than that, I've always been able to find a group within about 10 minutes to run a boringly easy instance that I'm now going to have a 5% buff to everything in. No thanks, you can play your little care bear game.

WoW was only good in vanilla.

 Nice, 62 pages of people that don't even play the game spouting off on things that don't even matter.

Yeah, obviously you don't want to play 24/7 in group or solo on YOUR choice of place and time.

Well WOW 3.3 allows it in game where 200 million dollars were invested in the last 4 years.

Tough choice indeed. :)))

To come on topic.

THE blue above  is what MAKES MMO play these days, not what frustrated haters think on mmorpg.com.

You expected an "impartial" article when dealing with the hysterical reactions we've seen??  Come on now, from the type of reactions we've seen, one would think that they put full T12 gear and weapons up for sale, instead of a couple of useless vanity pets.  No doubt, some of the hysterics will claim that such is "coming soon..."<rolls eyes>. For being ad driven(you do know that this operation costs money?...) I've found that MMORPG is a rather informative and entertaining site.  You must find something of interest here, as you have more than 900 posts to their forums...

Perhaps... Or perhaps its a good method of allowing lower levels to find groups for lower level dungeons? Given that the game is 5 years old, there aren't nearly as many in those zones as there once was.  Just about everyone has multiple level 80's by this time.

Up to T12 gear for your strawman argument now?

How about you stick to the claims that we are actually making? - That this is the thin edge of the wedge. A small step towards game-affecting gear being sold eventually.

Even if it isn't - it's still a case of content that used to be added for free now being charged for in excess of the sub fee.

Right now - it's bad, and we are worried that it will get much worse. Is THAT clear?

Shut it you idiot, you bad mouth blizzard and wow every chance you get, im guessing your that idiot woddy's alt account.  Its bad that they put 2 pets into the store, which you dont even need?   A pet that you wont use,  expcept when ur standing in a city or runn9gn around doing quests?  And your worries about that?  Get a bloody grip u bafoon.  If you dont want a pet then dont bloody buy it, simple as that, this sint an soe shop where they have pots and what have you, where people use it to their advantage.  Does this pet affect you from playing?  Does this pet affect how you play the game?   Ddi you even carer about 2 pets in the game, that are so inconsequentionl its untrue?.  Now you didnt.

Upto? Its the same example of the absurd that I've used multiple times now...Way to keep track of the thread...

Yes, yes(rolls eyes...) I'm certain that this is just the "thin edge" of the "slippery slope" that the evil genius's at Blizzard have been plotting for years now...(cue mad laughter from Blizzards boardroom).

"Content"? Useless *vanity* pets, that do NOTHING in game?? Well, I guess if one wishes to apply such...But has it dawned on some of you that you aren't being forced to purchase those pets?

Right now its "bad"?? I suspect many of you have rather interesting(not to mention entertaining...) notions of what "bad" is. As for the worse, that remains to be seen.
