World of Warcraft
This will probably be my last post on GD for quite a while because it rocks.
Or I must have nothing to do at work. |
Re: World of Warcraft

Re: World of Warcraft
Which server are you on?
|
Re: World of Warcraft
Shadow Moon.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
Al'Akir here... just because lots of Dutch people are on that one.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
That PvP patch is going to turn the servers into a blistering nightmare straight out of hell.
Also Shadow Moon. |
Re: World of Warcraft
Why is it so good?

Re: World of Warcraft
PvP has been a bit hit and miss on the yank servers.
Servers are now lagging like an absolute bastard with every man and his dog farming honour for the epics that 99.99% of us are never going to get. Some of my guildies are up to 1500+ kills already, in two days or so since patch, personally I'm at 200 and quite happy. Feedback from those not at 60 yet is, you're ****ed. |

It should sort itself out in a few days. Fortunately I'm away at the weekend and so will miss the initial european shitstorm. |
Re: World of Warcraft
why isn't this thread on the RPG forum?
it must qualify. you're talking about 'orks' and crap like that you've got your own shit secret language and you're not making any sense. |

We have a kill of Cairn Bloodhoof last night which hasnt been translated into honour yet, so that should add a shitload to our scores. All in all, I'm not a huge fan of the PvP farming, I do it because its something to do, but I dont find it all that enjoyable. I'll be happy to get the 2nd or 3rd rank so I get the anti-fear, caster shanking trinket. |
Re: World of Warcraft
i rest my case
utter gibberish. |
Re: World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft isn't a "role playing" game. The only ones I can really think of, in the strictest interpretation, are Planescape: Torment and Knights of the Old Republic 2.

Re: World of Warcraft
Re: The PvP system, I don't think it will last in its current incarnation. The actual playing of the game will get screwed up for far too many people if the constant zerging stays like this.

the normal people get to define what role playing is. we are not beholden to your internal squabbles such as: "so and so is not a 'real' role player" we do not care. you are each as bad as the others in our eyes. |
Re: World of Warcraft
I'd love to watch a role player civil war
we could televise it. the whole nation could sit behind tv sets screaming "why don't they get it? they have to physically hit the ****er typing it out doesn't work" a bookies dream. |

I don't care about "real" RPG's, it's just that the only games I can think of where you choose a role and play it are Torment and KOTOR2. |
Re: World of Warcraft
don't try to suck me into your sick little roleplayer factions.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
If there was even a teeny weeny bit of skill involved, I might have been convinced to ignore the awful graphics and boring gameplay and play. There isn't, so I won't.

Re: World of Warcraft
Skill? No. Gamplay? No. Graphics? Very possibly, because you need all settings at their lowest to get decent FPS.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
ITT Boogster hasn't actually played WoW. What kind of PC do you have that can't get a decent FPS in WoW ? While the graphics are pretty they're hardly the most demanding out there, if you can't get a decent FPS with WoW then there isn't much you're going to be playing.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
I agree on one point with Boogster which is about the skills. There is no such thing as real, raw skill requirement to do well in a mmorpg. Ofcourse, with some better understanding of the mechanism of your character you will be doing a bit better but talking about pure skills, they're not involved or at least unnescecary in such games.

Re: World of Warcraft
and so
the nerd war begins all the rest of the world can ony wait, quietly, patiently, hoping, praying praying to god that there are no survivors. |

Re: The graphics, yeah they don't have a high polygon count. But, like Warcraft III (you know, the game this looks most similar to) it's got an excellent design philosophy and is, at the very least, neat and well put together. Picture of actual gameplay! (I can't remember what settings they are, but they get an average of 60 fps, except when I'm taking photos) |
Re: World of Warcraft
WoW runs fine for me too with my p3 800, geforce 4 64mb and 892mb ram
|
Re: World of Warcraft
Yeah, certainly, just put off some details, it still will look great.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
You are pushing the minimum spec, mind.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
Ieft DOAC to go to WoW
Went back to DAOC post haste, WoW just lacks depth |
Re: World of Warcraft
it also runs perfectly fine on my duron 950 with 256 RAM and a radeon 9200SE 128Mb card :) yes some of the options are turned down, but it still looks very pretty to me :)
(also, and possibly quite sadly, i was really really pleased when i hit level 10 last night :):):)) |
Re: World of Warcraft
I came to lvl15 yesterday. Levelling is slowing down quite fast ATM and I'm not sure what to do to boost my level. Questing takes a long time to complete and killing monsters doesn't give a lot of XP (the ones that I can actually take on). I've been running along Westfall for a while now and am running out of decent quests in that area, and I've found Loch Modan but I don't really know my way in that area. Luckilly I found out about thottbot to help me find quests.
Sadly my Radeon X800 Pro card crashes constantly (yes, the card itself) which isn't really adding to the experience. VPU-recover kicks in after every fart. I ordered a new PSU hoping that fixes the prob. BTW, teamspeak is really cool with WoW. I was invited into a Dutch guild with two old schoolmates and some other high-level people, it's funny to hear them speak the game's abbreviations out loud. |

Re: World of Warcraft
To be honest, Anarchy Online, still impresses me the most out of all mmorpg's I've played purily looking at the game mechanics, diversity, amount of items ingame, diversity in character builds etc.
|
Re: World of Warcraft
I played the European beta and found it very boring.
I played Shadowbane last year for a few months, that's a cool MMORPG with some good PvP content. |
Re: World of Warcraft
Sorry, I was a little abstruse. I meant that on Planetside the graphics are poor, because you need all settings down low. I stand by my original statement though:
RPGs, as a genre, require no skill - just hard graft (ie. time spent online), or lots of mates. As a result, RPGs suffer from stale gameplay. And WoW's graphics are below the standards set by recent games. |
