The Rumor!

[Nazghul_Master]

No its not, but like I said... be more specific

 

[HappyTauren]

its best for them to fix what they have for now, balance sux almost like in DoTA.

 

[Rui]

I think I'll be buying WoW, to see what's so interesting and addicting about the doom of Warcraft III.

Does every expansion have a specific release date?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i am gunna renew my account with 2 months tommorow! yes!!

I think I'll be buying WoW, to see what's so interesting and addicting about the doom of Warcraft III.

Does every expansion have a specific release date?

1) There's nothing addictive if you ask me. I seem to be immune to WoW, I played it on and off since open beta and I found it boring.

2) Blizz releases expansions whenever they feel like. No dates.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

The next expansion could include Icecrown, however most of the expansion will more than likely include more low level content, new races, 1 maybe even 2 factions (Possibly a burning legion faction?). Also you can't possibly think that Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Icecrown are the only continents on Azeroth. What is on the other side of the world? I mean so far the planet looks like it has land on one side and the rest is water >_<

 

[Nazghul_Master]

It is only addicting if you fall under the following requirement(s) or one of them:

* You got no friends and you are bored to death behind your pc
* It's like raining all day and all you can do is play behind the pc or watch tv
* You got a lack of interest for anything but the pc (not included girls ofcourse)
* Your friends and/or girlfriend are on vacation without you and you are beeing home, got nothing to do

In the previous cases there is a high risk of getting addicted, but before you consider playing make sure this:

Make sure that, unthough you may be bored to death near all day, you don't only play WoW at a day! In the start WoW may be borring to level, but on a certain point and if you are lucky with quests and rewards in dungeons, it gets very addictive.

If you start dreaming about WoW or you got trouble sleeping consider stopping this game, but when you read this and you are addicted you'll propably think that's normal or you don't care..

Really, the story is kinda fucked up in end raiding (level 1-50 story in WoW is fine) but the ingredients of this fine game make it hard NOT to get addicted. So the best way to start this game is to already have ANOTHER addiction outside the Warcraft universe.

(Sorry for double posting but this is hilerious)

Dude... ever seen a picture of the Earth? Where you see america and Europe and all other continents? It's flat too! So in your oppinion you might consider if there is only water on the other side of the Earth aswell! That's damn foolish, ever considered that the map of Warcraft is just a flattened picture of the ROUND planet?

thanks

 

[Rui]

Ever thought no one might have travelled east from the Eastern Kingdoms or west from Kalimdor? Blizzard can always come up with something.

 

[Nazghul_Master]

then you forgot something: why does archimonde and the burning legion show so much interest in azeroth if they could have also taken the you say 'undiscovered lands' on the other side? That would make a much more strategic sence then just rush on the world, besides if there was land on the other side, medivh wouldnt be so stupid to place the portal on the so crowded area on azeroth... and the argument that he may have not known about the other side aswell is bad, since sargeras was in him back then... and he was one of the titans who MADE the planets in the first place so he MUST have known about it

 

[Rui]

That's relative. Why did Kel'Thuzad summon Archimonde in front of Dalaran where they knew they would be rushed by battalions of Humans when they could do it somewhere safe? That's the point.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

This is the fully zoomed out world map in WoW, which includes a circular version of the map of Azeroth, also showing that the Eastern Kingdoms (Excluding that tiny part of it), Kalimdor, and Icecrown are all on that side of the planet. Which means either the rest of the planet is completely ocean with maybe some islands, or could possibly have more continents.

medivh wouldnt be so stupid to place the portal on the so crowded area on azeroth

He was possessed by Sargeras...do you think sargeras cared about where the portal was, oh and the black morass was pretty far away from any highly populated areas =/

why does archimonde and the burning legion show so much interest in azeroth if they could have also taken the you say 'undiscovered lands' on the other side?

Though many times they might refer to the Eastern Kingdoms as Azeroth, the entire planet is actually named Azeroth. Which would include the possible other continents.

That's relative. Why did Kel'Thuzad summon Archimonde in front of Dalaran where they knew they would be rushed by battalions of Humans when they could do it somewhere safe? That's the point.

Would you try and rush a demon-lord after he just demolished a city by making a small sand sculpture out of it and crushing the sculpture? Also could they possibly have needed the magics at dalaran to summon Archimonde?

 

[Hawkwing]

There is no other continent. Blizzard would have mentioned it by now. But it is possible that there is a small island on the other side and the rest ocean. Because on the west of Kalimdor is the Veiled Sea and on the east of the Eastern Kingdoms is the Forbidding Sea. But not anywhere big enough for a new race like the Humans.

They proboaly summoned the demonlord there for two reasons. So they could get him to the World Tree faster and so they could destroy Dalaran in seconds. =P

 

[Nazghul_Master]

actually, when im looking to that pic of outland... the game doesnt make any sense at all! outland isnt even round, ever seen flat planets? planets are round cause of a reason: they rotate, and everthing rotates in the universe cause of the very reason they excist, blizzard seriously got to be more realistig

from dalaran get to the world tree faster??? lolz..

by the way, the stuff doesnt even make sense even more.. thjey could hjave just summoned archimonde near the world tree , I mean, archimonde is so powerfull he could have easily learned some invisibility spell for a long period, go to world tree, get his base there and get the tree dead

 

[Mecheon]

You people do know there is at least one other continent? Which contains the Undermine and has been left off the WoW map despite consistent refrences everywhere to it?

It's an inaccurate map. A badly innaccurate one

 

[brad.dude03]

http://www.wowwiki.com/Undermine

States that it's just a large underground city, hardly a continent....

Or am I missing something here?

1) I said AZEROTH, not Outland...
2) Realistic*, and WoW isn't about realism if you've ever played you would probably realize this...

from dalaran get to the world tree faster??? lolz..

Yes I agree on that part...Dalaran is in the Eastern Kingdoms, Hyjal is in Kalimdor.

They* Have*

 

[Rui]

Do I speak chinesse or something?

I'll explain again. You said why would the Legion show so much interest on Azeroth when they could have used those probably untamed lands as their base of operations. I replied that it was relative; after picking Medivh's Tome, they went outside Dalaran (I think) and began the summoning. But why not take the book and do it somewhere else safe, then?

Getting my point? It has nothing to do with the scenes after the summoning.

 

[brad.dude03]

That's all fine and great, but i'm not sure what "chinesse" is....

 

[jigrael]

if they add nerubians, murlocs or nagas as a playable race, Ill buy it inmediately

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

I'll be the first 70 murloc! lol...although naga....I'm not sure if naga would work out...I mean theres somethings that can show it possible (Ex. Naga's have recently started wearing armor of varying types, I've seen a Naga wearing a red version of Lawbringer and a naga wearing Giantstalker.) Though the only problem would be wearing leggings or boots as they have neither.

Quite possibly Blizzard could add in an evolved version of the naga?

LIZARD MAN!!! (lol and close resemblence too )

The whole Isle of Kezan

Now, if Scrolls of Lore didn't decide to be down, I could have grabbed their slightly-more-accurate map

Unfortunently, you'll need to deal with the beta WoW map, which notably has Kalimdor shrunken severely but does include a fair few of the missing things on the Azeroth side

[Rui]

Naga won't be in, at least I doubt it. They have a tale, females usually have four arms, many technical difficulties.

And, like Mecheon pointed out, the males are usually the warriors while females are spellcasters.

Dranei's have tails ...And what if they evolved to look like something to that lizard man picture lol

 

[Hawkwing]

Btw, Naga can wear legs. Blizzard never uses it though because it looks horrible. Its just the leg armor goes down his tail. Boots however would never work.

 

[Rui]

Dranei's have tails

But Draenei also have legs. Naga don't.

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

like i said befor... blizzard will do sumthin different and have nothin' to do with any thin'... GIANT BUNNY MEN FROM MORGAS IV 0_o

but i think that naga may never be playable... gobs(goblins) on the other hand may, but will destroy more lore that the lore fanatics love so much...

 

[Horn]

Yiou've never played WoW before? You can already kill the immortal firelord.

Have you actually played?

You'd know you don't kill Ragnaros.

In fact, stop asking such a redundant question of people. You don't need to play to know any of this.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

How about completely new races and "continent" instead of the recycled material from Warcraft 3 they use?

 

[Nazghul_Master]

I'd like to see the heroclasses finally getting implemented, maybe they could make something cool out of it.. like you can specialise yourself more deeply into a certain talent tree by picking a certain heroclass after you reach like er.. level 80 or something and then you get specific skills..

Would also be cool to finally see Northrend come. They could also make a very nice cinematic intro for the new continent, like showing hundreds of ships of undead comming near or a short history movie of the lich king from Kiljaeden till the point Arthas fuses.. and then some nice one liner or something...

Would be cool if the event in the Northrend expansion would have something like beeing Northrend a neutral area or that there will be a civilid small island just between northrend, azeroth and kalimdor where horde and ally got stronghold for travelers to get to northrend... maybe trough a portal perhapes ^^ (since maybe Lich King built big ass walls to prevent you to get there)

Nevertheless it will be imba cool ^^

This would imbalance WoW so badly that it would be nearly unplayable..

It would also be cool if the event in the Northrend expansion would have something along the lines of Northrend being a neutral area or possibly there will be a small island just between Northrend, Eastern Kingdoms, and Kalimdor. Where the Horde and Alliance would have a stronghold for travelers on their way to Northrend... maybe through a portal perhaps ^^ (Maybe the Lich King built a big ass wall around Northrend to prevent intruders?)

Fixed your horrible slaughtering of the English language in both quotes.

 

[Horn]

ALL CURRENT ENDGAME BOSSES IN WOW ARE LEVEL 500.

In order to fight a level 500, you need a LARGE group of level 70 players. Only your combined power can defeat such a high level.

In the case of the Lich King, he will be level 600 or 700.

In order to kill something like that, you will need a VERY LARGE group of level 100's.

This means the players in the group fighting the boss will have to be level 100, and the actual boss will be 600 to 700.

Bullshit. They were 500 as placeholder numbers. If it was actual game mechanics you'd never hit a level 500 unit.

Plus Onyxia was 3 manned by level 60s. 3x60 vs a level 500 makes no sense at all.

 

[Dr00d]

And a 60 pally one hit Kazzak. Youtube it.

All none-TBC raid bosses with level "??" are level 61 elites, with the boss tags to hid thier levels. They are so strong because thie stats are high (sprt, intl, agl, srgt) so it takes alot to bring them down. Why on Thottbot and other sites it will say "Kel'thuzad: LvL 500" is because on private servers, people can make anything anylevel they want, so they just jack it up.

Cheers

-xXDr00dXx

 

[Horn]

Probably higher. Some dungeon bosses are 2 levels higher than max (shown as 71-72 elites).

1) The level 60 Paladin one shotting Kazzak was I believe only a few months after WoW came out, back when reckoning was bugged so bad that you literaly could solo a raid boss after hours of stacking reckoning on him. Which this is no longer do-able for obvious reasons.

2) The actual "Bosses" of WoW truly have no real level, the level of the raid bosses is just that, a "Boss". If the Pre-BC bosses were level 61 you would be able to see this. And also like Whitehorn said, if the bosses were level 500 the factors in damaging the boss, or the boss damaging you would be so badly messed up that he would literaly one or two shot any tank on WoW because the reduction of his damage would be so insanely low, and the boss himself would be undamageable because every hit would get reduced to next to nothing and no spell would have a chance of hitting him.

*Also fixed some grammar, seriously thats annoying >_<*

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i wasnt aware that WoW was able to go past 255 atm because of how the level are still based on some kind of 8 bit number...i know on my server the max a player can achieve is 255, against any elite raid boss it takes about 3 seconds to kill them. im guessing this is because of how you level and the fact that at 255 your stats are so good you kill anything 30/40 levels lower than you whether it is a raid boss or not.

the main reason high boss levels do not work is because of the dodge rating. if a boss really had a level of 500 it would be impossible to hit because it would dodge every attack. i noticed on my server that my 255 char would dodge every attack, so a 500 char wouldnt even realise its being attacked.....

 

[brad.dude03]

Well, bosses are STILL shown as ?? at level 255, so this leads me to believe that they must be higher levels still.

 

[Horn]

When will you learn...

 

[Mecheon]

Well, bosses are STILL shown as ?? at level 255, so this leads me to believe that they must be higher levels still.

They're level ??. They are not a number. Level 255 is the highest level attainable in WoW, due to the Binary number system

11111111 = 255
00000000 = 0

That's how they undoubtably store levels in WoW, just like how they store them in IP addresses

Anything above 255 would roll you back to 0. Therefore, level ?? bosses are level ??. How hard is that to understand?

 

[brad.dude03]

Interesting. I merely assumed (And had no way of knowing that the Binary Number System was used) that since Players and NPC's alike who bare far higher levels than you are shown as ?? for level status, this would be the case with the Bosses as well, instead of just having ?? to represent the level.

 

[Hawkwing]

I agree with Mecheon. ?? is simply a Label not a number.

Get off the private servers before blizzard finds you out noob.

 

[brad.dude03]

Blizzard can't do anything about it rofl! It seems your the noob on this one.

The only thing Blizzard can do to those hosting a pirvate server is send cease and desist orders to make them shut down the servers or go to court. When the server gets taken down, no one gets fined, and none of the users playing on the server can get in any trouble whatsoever.

Basically, you can play legally on a private server without any worries.

 

[Craka_J]

There used to be a rumor that the max. level of bosses (such as Thrall and Cairne) were 100-150. Now the rumor has doubled. When will we find out the true, proven, exploited, truth of the level of Thrall! @_@

By the way, I was reading up on some lore for Warcraft and it really is messy. Just keeps on getting bent and more shit piled up on top of it making it even more... redundant is the word?
The most I can say for Warcraft's lore, especially after TBC came out, is this:
http://warcraft.lore.justgotowned.com/

 

[Rui]

That's not very fun but =P

Brad is right, my friend is adminstrador of one of the those private servers, and he said the same.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

Fine, but he should still quit being a noob and play a real server instead of a crappy private server where you can make yourself completely unstoppable.

 

[brad.dude03]

I've played on the Live servers since open beta thanks. I've also played on both real professional private servers and custom funservers as well. Either way, the max level is 250, and the warcraft lore is getting retarded as we speak.

 

[Hawkwing]

If you really look at the lore it's not extremely messed up. I haven't found anything wrong.. Well not much.. But as long as WoW is an MMORPG it will be a little awkward.

 

[Horn]

They ruined warcraft when they added gnomes.

 

[brad.dude03]

But why? Gnomes are the counterbalance to the Goblins....

Sure, they're tiny, stupid, and rather quite ugly, and any Tauren could easily crush them just by stepping on their puny form, but they've been part of the lore since long before WoW....
