Thinking of start playing WoW

The panel was great at the part. Basic story is, The elemental planes are playing a big part in the expansion and ragnaros bursts out of the planes of fire in HYJAL where none other then ****ing MALFURION is leading an offensive against him.

Someone asked why bring him back and the developer answered "Well because you summoned him far too soon".



Holy shit this is nerdy as hell.
 
just hit lvl 79 last night, things are getting very interesting now
 
Warped, I thought you hated WoW and canceled your sub wtf.

Plus, there's Deathwing! Sure, he's probably just going to be a raid boss making angry yells threatening the wrath of doom or some shit, doing nothing of interest outside of dropping shiny crap.

But hey. At least he's there.

What they've done with Arthas so far is actually pretty damn cool (his cameo appearances). Much better than they did with Illidan.

So to all the people who just said that its going to be the same WoW as before the class panel just revealed that there are changing MAJOR gameplay mechanics. This is like a brand new game holy shit this is going to be amazing.

HUNTERS DONT USE MANA NO MORE SOUL SHARD FARMING NO MORE ATTACK POWER NO MORE DEFENSE NO MORE MANA PER 5 HOLY SHIIIIT

So they're simplifying it even further?
 
No, as far as hunters go they're bring back Focus from beta, and Warlocks will now have a set amount of Soul Shards to use in battle, kind of like the DKs rune system but the shards will only be able to be used once per combat.

The stat thing, is more or less to make main stats like intellect more attractive, its pretty huge news now for casters where intellect wasn't actually your best stat when you think being a caster it would be.


Edit: You'll now be able to respec your gear, like take out a few stats to give an item stats it wouldn't normally have. Basically there is a **** ton of customization coming out with this expansion.
 
Jesus Christ.

Seeing as my main is a hunter, that is hella big news. I never felt mana was a good fit for the class, and I'm interested in seeing how well a focus bar works. I've been fond of it ever since it was being thrown around as use in a heroic class, back when the popular conception of them was a variant/extension of the original. But no more Attack Power? I don't see what's wrong with its current implementation. It's been a large part of our itemization ever since our 1 Agi = 2 AP conversion was nerfed. As for Deathwing and Arthas, I will concede that blizzard has done a pretty good job so far with Arthas, although I do think his portrayal been less of a powerful demigod-like entity as it was hinted at becoming after TFT.

Is there a compiled list of all the changes announced somewhere?
 
I like that Worgen can choose between human and Worgen outside of combat but transform into a Worgen when in combat. I think I might actually use human form normally, just for a cool "hulk out" effect when entering combat.

Absinthe: how come you don't know MMO Champion?
 
Its only day 1 and im really liking what they've said so far. Really what the game needs to freshen it up a bit.
 
I do know it, I just... I've never paid any attention to it. :|
 
When is it coming btw? I mean, 3.3 will be the final major content patch, and it will arrive in no more than 3-4 months. Then 4-5 months to give everyone a chance to finish 3.3.

Also, now that Azeroth is flyable, can warriors get Heroic Leap back? It was taken out because of exploits in Azeroth mostly.
 
Definitely not enough to get me to resub again. :p 100 bucks they screw shamans again anyway.
 
I've been playing WoW for about a week and a half. Already level 41.

Edit: Ehh. More like 2 weeks.
 
Man, I love Gilneas' look, like kind of victorian (that dude had a ****ing top hat). Also, ****ing dwarf shamans? I could ejaculate.
 
Why in God's name would a sensible gamer willingly start playing WoW?:(

Yeah dwarf shamans is ****ing awesome. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be if they really stuck to the whole wildhammer dwarf thing (The dwarves who practice shamanism in the first place) and add some tattoos to the character creation.
 
I might reroll on a new server to level up a Goblin. Always wanted to play one.

Btw is there more info on Archeology yet?
 
Basically it's a secondary profession that you use to gather artifacts and study ruins and stuff. They showed it off in the panel, you actually get a little journal that documents everything you've found and researched so that will be a neat little feature for people who are interested in lore (ME).

The real purpose behind it though is, studying ruins and finding artifacts will help you work towards this new feature called "The Path of The Titans". They haven't gone that far into it, but from what they have said it's basically another way to progress your character at 85. You'll be able to go down different paths to get abilities or passive bonuses things like that. What I like is they said it's not going to end up being "So and so path is better for this class", they want to try and make every path viable for each class some how.
 
So this is how WoW dies....to rapturous applause...



Really though this smacks of complete reversal. This is Blizzards Stalingrad. Blizzard are the Wermacht.

Yeah, but unfortunately it doesn't look like they are - at blizzcon (I watched the live feed) it said that they learned it off the draenei. Blizzard always has to complicate things.
 
Yeah I heard that but im just hoping it was some just an off-hand comment. Either way, IM REALLY hoping for updated models on vanilla races, because were going to look kind of ridiculous next to the hi-res goblins and worgen.

It always amuses me to see people declare WoW dead at everything Blizzard does. The only thing that's funnier is people that go "<SomeMMO> is coming out next month, everyone in my guild is leaving to <SomeMMO>, fuck WoW!" only to see <SomeMMO> tank 2 months later. It's hilarious.
 
If anyone is interested they got live coverage of the open Q & A right now. I think there doing the Class systems later too, so expect some news about something other then hunters and warlocks:

WoW is a good game, I can see why people can get so addictive to it but I'd say if it effects you then stay away from it because you will waste many many hours on nothing, if you can play without getting addicted then happy days. I haven't touched it for a while, I froze my account a while back but I sometimes get bored and jump back in. I'm anything but a hardcore gamer on it (or any game now for that matter) but it was still a lot of fun completing a long and hard quest or completing a difficult dungeon and winning some cool gear.

Only half as amusing as your desperate clinging to Blizzards teet taking dick for the slightest bit of attention.

WoW fanboys cannot and should not even try to somehow justify their habit or belittle others for not sharing it.

*shines a torch into your face* Back to your cave, vermin.





Nah, seriously though, WoW is going downhill though.
 
This looks pretty fantastic. Great way of escalating from WotLK (though Deathwing doesn't appeal to me as much as THE ****ING LICH KING).

Oh man, I want to see the high res original races ohmygeesohmygeesohmygess.

Not really, for the first time they're actually being creative. We have run out of Warcraft 3 characters to brutally massacre, so they have come up with new stuff. We know very little about the elemental plane, and this expansion will have us exploring it for example.

There ios nothing new about Deathwing. He has been in Warcraft lore since before WoW. He is old school. Not New.

Fail.
 
Has anyone heard anything about if we're getting more character slots per realm? With the new race and the fact that we should have gotten them already with the Death Knight addition, I want to know. Because there's no ****ing way I'm paying for a second account just because I'm full on characters.
