Quest helper?

I've never used a quest helper of any kind in any game.

How lame!

That's like cheating..what's the point of playing then? Better off reading a book or watching a movie then.

New 5 mans? I quit the game because of the zerg fest the 5 mans are currently. I don't care to play a game where  there is no strategy. Right now every one just AOEs everything down and the tank AOEs to hold everything .. stupid stupid stupid. The game use to have some fun strategy before WOTLK. Not to mention the sell of virtual items for real life cash. If you don't want that in your games in the future don't support blizzard by subscribing to their game.

 "sell of virtual items"?  There must be something seriously FUBAR'd with the education system in NC. 

As for Blizzard having a cash shop...guess you'll be giving up MMOs then, amiright?  Since by that definition, every non-garbage game right now is as bad or worse.  On the bright side, you could take your new-found free time and read a book.

 I hope that they update the Arthas story and raids to match the new level and gear cap.- Make Naxx and UL/ IC 85+ raids and have the new tier 11s drop out of there 

who would want to Re grind a insty for new gear...

I suppose it needs to be an official in game feature though, finally. I know many people view WoW as the innovator in MMOs. I disagree here. WoW really did not do anything insanely creative with their game. They simply took the best ideas that were out there, packaged them better than anyone else and built a game that had a smooth play system.

Truthfully, the best innovators in MMOs have been WoW mod developers. I believe a lot of things that are standard in MMOs now were first seen as mods in WoW. The smart thing that Blizzard did was to make WoW very easy to create addons for. I don't think WoW would have been nearly as successful without its modding community.

And not that it matters very much, but I think he was talking Cataclysm in that typo. I think he meant to say: "My only concern is how the timing lines up against Cataclysm. My guess is that we will see Cataclysm sometime in early 2011, possibly even the end of 2010. If this is correct we will get a good solid year of game play out of Patch 3.3."

so says the disgruntle eq2 player :)

"..One of the biggest improvements in Wrath of the Lich King was more involved storytelling,..."

Oddly enough, this what ruined the game for me. Even in Burning Crusade, when they tried to tell the story directly, the game just seemed to get worse. The lore was really cool.. now it's terrible. 

Edit: OK, maybe not what ruined the game, but the lore, there's a lot of crap that ruined the game.

boring

move the carrot and people follow

Yes I have. But imo Onyxia's Revamp was  to Re-introduce newer people to a raid they may have never done because they were not around pre bc.Heck even I never had a chance to do onyxia (played off and on for 4 years). and to update some of the Classic armor sets that still look slick :). Just they way I precieve it.

Not everyone has the luxury of a wonderful sense of direction. I'm sure there are things you aren't as good at.

Using proper paragraph structure, for instance.

Garrett Fuller  sure not in Blizzard's Pocket

Nice flame at the new Quest tracking system

Jon Woods would have wrote a better post on the New Quest Tracking

The Quest Helper Mod

That we use in the game uses a lot of your interface memory.

also it ask you to update your quest to a website.. in order to help the mod

I am glad that blizzard is making  quest tracking better

i hope also that this will be for other mods as well..

Sure be better than .....

I got hacked!!!!!  I downloaded a mod from this ....site and it had a key logger..

be nice if blizzard controlled the mods

i sure blizzard would have no need to hack your account.

please shutup

So....ermm.....Garretts top 5 things coming in the next WoW patch are an axe, some armour, a quest tracking system that no-one is going to need (so why is this in the top 5 then you idiot?), some new dungeons and a boss fight with the Lich King. The dungeons and the boss fight are probably the only things worth mentioning.......and they're not really that exciting. What a shit article.

Asking other players for advice with quests is also cheating then in that case. I found the quest tracker to be a blessing actually. It saved me from wasting countless boring hours/days/weeks running around like a headless chicken looking for static object #5765765765765. You dont seriously find that enjoyable do you? Besides what difference does it make? Everyone will get through the game sooner or later anyway. If you want to waste your time and money then thats up to you.

What about LFG System? Its not coming in the next patch?:( That was the thing i was looking forward for to get some life back into the classic WoW dungeons thats impossible to find group for on a single server.

 

The new LFG system will be in 3.3.  Surprising this didn'y make the top 5.

Has a LFG system ever really worked in any game? No reason to believe it will be any better this time around either. (Blizzard already tried once before)

 

Did DAoC have one? (Pre ToA) I can't remember. Or was it just /who Cleric 40 ? :)

Finally the players get to put that annoying talkative git in his place.

Personally for the LFG system worked pretty well when I played the game last, not that there wasn't room for improvement. But compared to when it was introduced and no one ever used it, I was happy to see it working reasonably well.

Kind of dreading the patch myself as I think that the cross-realm dungeon system is an awful idea that will destroy the community in World of Warcraft.

There have been many attempts by blizzard to add a LFG system....
 

1. just a LFG chat channel (seemed fine at the time) - Vanillia
2. Queue up via meeting stones (auto queue feature - never used) - Vanillia 
3. 1'st attempt at a LFG inferface (did any one ever use this?) - TBC
4. 2'nd attempt at a LFG interface (much more successful) - Wotlk

and now #5 which is kind of all the above mixed into 1 and some more.

In what has become know as the PUG dungeon system

• Join a global LFG pool of players made from your battlegroup (in my case that 14's servers).
• Flag your-self as healer,tank or DPS and select the dungeons you want play.
• Let the system match you with players and then then automaticly teleport to the dungeon.
• Earn extra money and badges for completing a PUG dunegon (only once per day).

You can join the PUG system as a group, so lets say you got 4 guild guys together or 4 peeps from your server but are lacking a tank, join the PUG system as a group and the system will find you a tank from (in my case) 14 servers.

I think this is fine for dunegons and GREAT for low-level dungeons but, theres talk and even UI in the PTR for PUG raids made this way, man thats goona be hard to get right... I mean how are we goona check Achievements :p (man I hate that achievement crap "link achivements blah blah").

Linkable achivements and flying mounts.. my two WoW hates .. rank over.

I see we share the same dislikes (flying mounts as killers of immersion, and achievements as the new reputation grind tool)
