• • What I would like to see before Origins launches.

  • Ok, so not all that bad then afterall perhaps.  Well my old account lives!  I have logged into my old server prydwen a few times to find an average of around 40 players on there, and my main stripped of a lot of the gear I collected back then, lol.  Probably some of the stuff I had became redundant or something.  Anyway, I don't mind, its great to have a run round the old stomping ground like a nublet again and the graphical update since I left is nice too.  Just have to get a char on a server with some players now

  • Thats sad to hear, I used to play DAoC in the 'good old days'.  I'm dissapointed to hear it is plagued with exploits now (there were a few back then, but it wasnt epidemic by any stretch of the imagination).  I'm actually installing again for old times sake and to see if I want to continue my subscription and play on origins, what kind of exploits are in use now?

• • Short list of why WoW sucks

    and why I left it for those glancing over looking for a new game.

    TLDR:  WoW sucks. look elsewhere

    1.  Battlegrounds - be prepared to spend most of your life in here if you even want to try and compete.  There's a massive world that goes ignored while 90% of players are in here lookin for gear.

    2.  Arenas - A failed attempt at an Electronic sport.  Even most players hate it.  Blizzard won't give it up so it's left as the major focus of the game.  Forget raiding Orgrimmar or Stormwind! hop in this cage for endless hours.

    3.  The world is a lie.

    4.  You either PvP or PvE, there's no in between.  The gear you get in pve won't help you in pvp and vice versa.  At one point you could do group dungeons and pvp and both aspects were rewarded.  not anymore.

    5.  There's just no meaningful endgame. 

     

    Thanks for reading.  You'd thank me if you only knew.

     

    I left wow a fair while ago, because I just got plain bored tbh, however I wouldn't say I agree with much of what you have said personally...

    1. Under the pvp old ranking system, sure you needed to spend damn near 24 hours in the bgs if you wanted to get the top gear and ranks.  In the new system this is not nearly as bad, however I would say when the new system initially came in, there was a total gold rush for gear because in comparison to how hard it used to be to get it, it became childs play.  By the time I left, this had calmed down a lot.

    2. Arenas.  I played pvp extensively before the ranking system but once that was removed pvp lost a lot of interest for me, not to mention being a kick in the balls for the countless hours I had spent in the bgs before the change...  Anyway, can't say that the arenas held much attraction for me and I never set a virtual foot in a single one.  Maybe a lot of people felt the same?

    3. Well....obviously the world is not real....not sure what you mean by this.

    4. I disagree with there being no crossover between pvp and pve.  A top level raid armor set has always outstripped a top level pvp armor set.  Generally the stats were always slightly improved but the MAJOR addition was the resistances, pvp gear never had resistances, I assume this is still the case.  However I would say that for exactly the same reasons, a pvp armor set will not fair well in any but the most basic top level dungeons, so a pure pvper will struggle if they choose to switch to pve and raiding.

    5. No mmorpg will never allow you to feel you have truly completed it.  If this was the case, people would just complete it and move on cancelling their subscription.  The creators would pretty much be shooting themselves in the foot.

    No mmorpg has an infinite timespan for any player, in the end everyone will get bored and leave.
