everything in this game revolves around combat. think about it you know its true. i think it is common sense but if you can prove me wrong feel free to. unfortunately though the combat in this game is not that good. i mean who seriously enjoys clicking on an enemy and play wack a mole till one of you is dead? oh i forgot about the bunny hoppin that really serves no purpose in the combat. so why is it that this is the most popular mmo? beats me. i think it is because there is so much stuff for you to do and it takes a good amount of time to do it. you cant even get to max lvl unless you spend like a month on a character. im talkin about normal people who play a couple hours a day at the least not the i have no life 5 hours a day people. if you think 5 hours a day is normal think about this, a normal person works about 8 hours a day plus 5 hours for your game equals 13 hours, 8 hours of sleep equals up to 21 and those extra 4 hours i hope are for eating and stuff like that. sad if this is you isnt it? im just messin around lighten up people. back to my topic, so you level up your dude to 80 now and you still have a bunch to do with that character. you got 4 hour dungeons to raid and farm the hell out of the monsters and resources to make some gold. everything in this game takes a good amount of time to do. dont expect to do anything in half an hour. then your friend wants to play with you so you gotta make another character and start all over. and it just keeps going and going and going.
my point is yall are not really having fun at all. your just proud of yourself for putting all that time in this game which is brainwashing you to make you think you have accomplished something. someone could have just as much fun playing a 15 minute match on call of duty or halo. that person could play the same map over 10 times and spend as much time playing matches on it as someone in one dungeon. why? because the combat in those games is fun and fast pace.
look at it this way if your still not convince. what is the difference between combat on this game and the rts games before it? you hop around and only control one person. play warcraft 3 and play this game you know its true.
Well the last time i checked, i payed for the monthly subscription to the games i played. I dont see what gives you the right to tell me what games i can or cannot enjoy. You wanna spend 15 minutes playing call of duty or halo, by all means, do.
Its quite depressing to read this and the WAR boards of late. So much hate being thrown around
In my personal opinion this expansion is alot better than Burning Crusade. As someone else mentioned, the music is fantastic. They still have the kill "X" and bring me "Y" mechaninc in quests, but it dosent feel as tedious doing them as the presentation has been top notch. You'll see alot more epic qst chains this time round with the emphasis being on storytelling. The Wrathgate and Zuldrak chains come to mind.
The phasing mechanic has been used really well and is quite apparant in the deathknight starting area which is yet another epic quest line, which really must be experienced wether or not you want to play a deathknight.
The instances are alot shorter in length this time round and its possible to clear 2 of them on a week night. Personally i couldnt care less if they copied/refined things pioneered by other MMOs. Let the fanboys and haters waste their time argueing over that. I just want to have an enjoyable gaming experience and i can say, with full confidence, that iam having an absolute blast playing WotLK.
Gametrailers.com's ongoing retrospective with the warcraft series reaches its 3rd part featuring World of Warcraft. Enjoy.
