WoW is so boring

[Kwaliti]

Actually, you win as soon as you get him to 10%:

-Archimonde gets attacked by Wisps, which kill him automatically after 60 seconds

-Tyrande gives the raid a 60 second invulnerability

-Archimonde channels the World Tree (just an animation, no other effect). He also spams Finger of Death to no effect. Since reaching Phase 2 is an automatic victory, the only thing the raid has to accomplish is to bring Archimonde down to 10%

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

That means 25 men dressed in either satanic or really gay looking armor with huge-ass swords, hammers, and shields dealt 90% damage to a huge, demonic being that was able to ravage the world. You're right, it's absolutely normal!

 

[Kwaliti]

It is, because the boss is a survival boss, one man dies, the raid wipes. Overall an insanely hard boss.

But when you look at the lore... it's stupid.

 

[Master334]

I find it a game that requires a lot of time.

I enjoy finally getting that sword I saved up for a week to get. I enjoy repetitiveness. I enjoy going out with a few friends and discovering outland. I like pwning some orcs. I like pie, but that has nothing to do with this now does it?. I enjoy exploring to some distant land and getting killed by some really powerfull creature just for the fun of it.

I think that wow is a terrificly well done game and I ask you to produce a better one.

[I)eadnerzhul]

You want a better game? Go look for Bloody Requiem. Although it's sometimes hard to find out where to go (you get used to it), it's one of the most insanely bloody, gory, and violent games I've ever seen. It utilizes the Havok physics engine for a satisfying death (for either you or your opponent). Say you deal a 5 damage on your final blow with a normal attack, a limb flies off and the corpse drops (realistically) to the ground. Say your final blow was 32, and you used a melee ability... well, let's just say you'll do more than 'disarm' him and decapitate him. The body will fly away in a gory mess of blood. It's pretty funny and rather nice to see after he took down half of your health, too.

The only downside is it mixes Heavy Fantasy with Heavy Future and Heavy Metal (you can enhance your already genetically enhanced body by adding/removing genes from your DNA, to name an example), with a rather dark story. The monsters are not bears and stuff. They look like they were ripped out of Doom or something. Hellish guys. Even the goblins are creepy-looking. And let's not forget this thing is free for us free-loaders.

Oh yeah, and the rating is M for mature. So if you are NOT M for MATURE, DO NOT GO TO REQUIEM'S SITE WHICH I WILL NOT POST.

We ALSO have Crime Craft, which is still in production, but is the FIRST MMO (which will be free, by adding real advertisements on bill-boards and stuff) that runs on the UT3 engine. You take the role of a gangster as you tear up the streets alone or with a gang for supremecy. It's third person shooting similar to Gears of War (I THINK) with no levels but craftable or buyable (via ingame cash) items that will determine how long you played. Battles could take place in the 'overworld' which happens to be a city or in instanced zones that have various objectives or capture the flag. Built-in ingame voice-chatting means you could ask your buddy if you could borrow his weapons of mass ownage before the next fight. And let's not forget the quests. The quests, crimes rather, are self-explanitory. You'll be doing all kinds of crimes. From petty thievery to planning a big heist on fort-knox or something. You and your gang of thugs could do almost anything when it comes to robberies. SO GET TO IT (when this game get's finished, of course).

 

[Asomath]

Hmmm there is one thing that interests me in WoW and that is the lore (lore is my favorite thing, if you looked at my post on protoss, you should know). Some people only see the games story line as the quests that are put up obviously. Like, Ragnaros, who I still believe had a really cool entrance, when you kill him people are all like "Wow that was an awesome fight, good job people". "Now, uh, who was that big fire guy?". I read up on Blizzards huge billion year warcraft history, and this serves as knowledge of what they are actually talking about in WoW. This also helps me in explanations to people, and what blizzard does what it does in their games. Knowing connections between characters I feel will help me make better Warcraft raid maps and boss fight and so on. Yes WoW can be boring. But each zone is unique, if you actually pay attention, you will see that every level has some important lore.
Example: The squid thing in Dark Shore with a giant sword through it.
These are one of the very few remains of an OLD GOD, rulers of the Azeroth area before the titans came along and started a war. They commanded the elemental lords including Ragnaros. The final boss in AQ-40 C'Thun, is a relative of the Old God in Darkshore, but C'thun himself is not an Old God.

Really though, the story-line is amazing

Sorry if this game bores you, but it has plenty of enjoyable things for me.

"World Editor Trainee"

P.S. I made a short map for that Archimonde battle named "Battle against the Defiler"
However, I changed it somewhat from the Hyjal boss fight. Instead of him being killed by the wisps, I made it so the wisps explode on him, however a Temporal Disturbance causes him to survive. However he is weak enough for our armies to fight him. Seems like a plausable battle theory to me...

 

[~Void~]

Why can't you just get the wisps to attack him at 100%? 0.o

WoW put in subtle bits of the lore though. Like the wisps thing, certain spells on mobs, putting in characters (like kel'thuzad in the past), etc. But it doesn't really work. -.-

 

[StasMaN]

How can somebody like this game? It is more boring than visiting grandparents who don't have a computer to begin with.

I played to a lvl 10 character and all the time it is just killing creeps and getting experience. Also all of the towns and all places are completely boring. I see no unique places.

I played until lvl 10 and at any part I was not forced to use my brain at all. It was just run in the countryside and kill creeps.
And furthermore the only way I would get addicted to this game is if I wanted to die of boredom. Good that I didn't have to pay anything for this tauren****.
I would have wanted to attack the allied players but everybody said I should have a higher lvl and I couldn't find any allied players in barrens.
So now I have to ask is there something I have missed or what makes WoW so addicting?

dude , go find a GM POWER TEST server , get Hand of Death ability which 1 hits everyone in huge radius , and go killing everything mindlessly . That's right for you ... Since you have no actual idea what Quests are and you want to have everything at the beginning of the game ...

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

5 year old Koreans are suckered into this game like rats to cheese. This game could be more boring, but I doubt it. It would be hard to make it any more boring 8/
The quests could be lamer but I doubt it. I would have to try hard to some up with something worse than, Go get me a drink on the other side of the world.

lol, this makes me lol

you've never been in arenas, battlegrounds, let alone PvP, instances, raids, dungeons, have shiny uber gear that glows, instant kills, guilds, mounts, and lore.

Seriously, what you said, all people will want to do is smack you in the face, because you have no idea what your talking about.. level 10? LOLZ, it takes me like a half hour to get to level 10, Seriously, lot of people enoiy the game because it makes them feel above other people(lower levels) and how you can squash people, it gives you control and power, so it makes it very addictive.

Do you really think you will experiance all the content at level 10/70? Seriously, you don't even get to start the fun experiance until level 51, for altertec valley and raiding. Those are fun.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

So the game sucks until your level 51? GJ BLIZZARD GJ!

 

[~Void~]

you are pathetic ...

No, he's right. If you have to level to 51 or whatever before the game gets good, well that is just like telling people that if they try your new drug, they have to get through the withdrawal symptoms before they get high. Most people won't know that it gets fun and just say "well fuck this" and bin it.

[Andreja]

Agreed.

 

[~Void~]

Disagreed.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Granted, Starcraft is boring for the 1st 3 minutes each game and DotA is boring for the 1st 10 minutes and those are huge hits, but I imagine for a starting player, it would take minimum 10 days to level to 51. How on earth Blizzard hooked so many people is just beyond me... Just out of curiosity, why is level 51 so special?

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Around that level area, players begin to enter player versus player combat. Usually, at a low level, you're grounded in either: the newbie zone (for levels 1-10/11), or lower level zones (for levels 10/11-15;15-20/21). That's why you guys should put some effort in searching for a good free game. My recommendation, however, is Mount&Blade, an open source open RPG similar to Oblivion, where you have no direct goals, and an enhanced combat system based on oblivion as well, but ALOT more realistic. It's a fictional medieval era game where most player's goals are to conquer the world. Is this possible? Of course it is! You could raid any town you'd like, but it's recommended that you have atleast 29+ troops, since towns/castles tend to have big defenses.

MMOs are supposedly in their second generation. Hopefully WAR will bring it into the third, unless you don't like Warhammer and are more interested in AoC:HA. I'm not.

 

[Tyranid]

Mount&Blade combat is not based on Oblivion since Mount&Blade beta was already made public before Oblivion was released. Aslo Mount&Blade and Oblivion are largely different. I prefer Mount&Blade more thought.

 

[Huurka]

It's at 70 where the fun really begins. D:

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

It's fun when it entertains you... lol

 

[Incarnation]

I played wow untill level 40. It suks.. Kinda. They messed up the lore.

 

[brad.dude03]

...

You'll need better reasons then that. Plus you gave up when the game just starts getting good.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

After I get mount I personally start like it more

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I just don't like MMO's. They're all the same. Right click, leave the screen for awhile, come back. It reminds me of Warcraft III's combat system, except you need to select the enemy. These games should take more after Mount & Blade. A very realistic combat system is required for maximum fun. I mean, what fun is it jumping around your enemy?

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

...

Do you not see how stupid it is to say something like that? When you buy a game, you expect it to be fun. Not an investment for fun!

 

[PrinceofIce]

I couldn't do it. I seriously couldn't go read through all of it. It was just too much.

Okay Im gonna do my simple breakdown and hopefully nobody gets pissed.

@The Loathers:The game can be really repetetive. Blizzard tried to make it harder by almost forcing you to grind but easier by making cool instances. Im sorry to hear that their mmorpg does't give you the feeling that some people do get when they play thing game. Also try communicating it can help get through the boringness and if you join a good guild they can help you get good gear .

@The Lovers: You must accept that some people simply do not like this for multiple reasons. Maybe they hate that the lore has changed drastically. Maybe the repetitiveness is too boring for them to take. It could be a mixture of things. The best thing to do is to say okay you don't like it but I do and go play the game you love.

Fighting over this doesn't really help anybody as far as I can see. It might convince somebody to try the game at a different perspective maybe trying to group up. As for now though I think the fighting has to stop. Please.

Let it be known that attempting to autoattack everything will not get you far, and it wont get you anywhere in PVP, and forget about it in raids.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

And then spamming abilities? Seriously, it isn't that much fun. It's too simple. It lacks complexity. Select this, click that, hit that key, run around the guy in circles... seriously.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Do you not see how stupid it is to say something like that? When you buy a game, you expect it to be fun. Not an investment for fun!

I believe you're talking about game demos, not games themselves. Whether an investment for fun is worth it or not depends on your tastes.

 

[brad.dude03]

And then spamming abilities? Seriously, it isn't that much fun. It's too simple. It lacks complexity. Select this, click that, hit that key, run around the guy in circles... seriously.

But you can't even do that. You need skill and strategy to survive, just like in any other game.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I'll admit, it takes a sort of skill to play certain classes, but then again... ever hear of stunlocking and moonfire spamming? It's done so often I fall asleep in PvP.

 

[LordDz]

Then, I guess you need to change class? Or fight another way?

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I don't play world of warcraft anymore. I don't really care.

 

[Huurka]

I'll admit, it takes a sort of skill to play certain classes, but then again... ever hear of stunlocking and moonfire spamming? It's done so often I fall asleep in PvP.

Try to keep an enemy stunlocked to death. It is fucking impossible.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Not impossible. You could do it every like 5 seconds (and it lasts for like 5 seconds)and it's only a problem against a warrior with that special passive skill... something that lets him regenerate health at a monumental rate when stunned. If you keep stunlocking him, he keeps healing.

 

[inverted]

um wtf? what stun lasts for 5 seconds and has a 5 second cooldown absolutely nothing, get a brain before commenting. You cheap shot, get combo points, kidney shot at the last second, vanish cheap shot, get combo points kidney shot, prep, vanish cheap shot, kidney shot. dead, its really hard to do. and there is nothing that makes you regain health that much when your stunned. get your facts straight pal. and if you dont care then why are you posting.

 

[Don Corleone]

wow aint that boring...

Ever, ever heard of diminishing returns?

Go make some calculations.


On the second use of the same category of spell (e.g. slowing), that spell's duration is reduced by 50%

[Kwaliti]

Yeah, be a lock, fear 3 times, the target is immune to 4th and beyond.

 

[777devil777]

and there is nothing that makes you regain health that much when your stunned.

Second Wind. One of the most important things for a Warrior PvP arms build.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Like I said, I don't really care that much about it. The goal is to get stronger so you could be stronger than other people and/or be able to kill a certain boss. That's IT. That's the game. Kill, kill, kill, ding!, kill, kill, kill... etc., all until you reach level whatever the hell and you could finally say you're a 'pro' because you sat so long on that game. One thing they should add in the next patch is an automatically updated list on an open spot in the UI that tells you what you could have done with the time you've wasted leveling and grinding.

 

[Traxamillion]

What really makes WoW fail is, that when you play the game, your not having fun...your doing work. It is like clocking into a job. Whyen i got my shaman to 70 and got full raid epics...i really was mad i wasted time on that crap. WARHAMMER ONLINE FTW!

 

[Incarnation]

[/offtopic at Trax]For the Emporor!!![/offtopic]

Blizz should stik to making RTS and diablo and such. They (no offence) failed at the MMORPG.

 

[brad.dude03]

Failed? Are you fucking serious? This is their most successful game to date. WoW has made Blizz more money and got them more recognition than every other game they've made combined and then multiplied by ten thousand.

It's as far from a failure as possible. They're dominating the MMO market, and they have been since it's launch.

 

[Incarnation]

Im not saying sails wise... People will buy anything these days.

As a game (lore, playability, etc.) it failed. BIG time. Sure a whole lot of 12 year old kids and lonly 40 year old men like it. Dosent mean its good. Just means its populer. Popularity is gained by people spreading word about it. "OMG this game, every1 is lik talking about it. It must be good DDDDDD!!!111!!!".

Meh could be wrong, but in my opinion its a fail.

Huh, most people that play WoW at end game seem to be in their twenties. Games that are popular are usually good, for some weird reason, people like to play games they enjoy. Go figure.

Someone said WoW sucks because it's all leveling and killing, then you become "pro". He said something like that, which is totally wrong. Endgame is why people play. The leveling is fun for some, but most people don't like it. Endgame is where all the fun starts for most people.

Critical acclaim tends to side against you.

Why the hell can't they make the rest of the game 'fun', like you say? Please, I'm dieing to know why the hell I have to sit on my ass for three days straight (and suffer from sleep deprivation) just so I can get to 'endgame'. And even if I don't play all day, it would take a long time to get anywhere. I don't want to be bored and kill-kill-kill like a robot until I reach endgame. I want to have fun right away. At least in Lord of the Rings you're an important character in a series of instanced zones and such. I actually feel like I'm doing something, instead of just senseless killing.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

"Why the hell can't they make the rest of the game 'fun', like you say?"
Matter of opinion. I honestly thought that the leveling was fun.
"Please, I'm dieing to know why the hell I have to sit on my ass for three days straight (and suffer from sleep deprivation) just so I can get to 'endgame'"
Erh.. You don't have to...
"And even if I don't play all day, it would take a long time to get anywhere"
So? Don't you like to achieve stuff instead of eating from freaking silver spoon?
"I don't want to be bored and kill-kill-kill like a robot until I reach endgame.
At least in Lord of the Rings you're an important character in a series of instanced zones and such. I actually feel like I'm doing something, instead of just senseless killing."
But you still are killing all the time and that makes you a hypocrite >_>
