• • Pretty happy with WoW, what does WAR have to offer me?

  • First, I didnt read all the posts so I dunno if your questions were answered at all. this is just my two cents.

     

    I, like you, am a WoW junkie. Play my pally and war a lot and am even going to blizzcon. I love the game, and can't wait for WotlK to come out (want my Deathknight!). That being said, i was very anti-WAR. "All they are doing is trying to kill wow, and they never will. It will be a failure the first week!." I kept saying this line to everyone I know. I was even in WAR beta and didn't like it, although I didn't even get pass level 4. Well, WAR came out and a few of my friends (old DaoC players) went to try it out.... I laughed at them. One of my friends bought me a copy for my birthday and said "Just try it for the free month, then quit if you don't like it."  So I did. I jumped on, created a Dwarf Engineer and pressed the play button. I started playing, and all I could think was..."This is WoW" And in reality it was really like WoW....for the first few levels. Then I hit my first player vs player  area and my opinions of this game was proven wrong.

    I'm only level seven and there is already epic Order vs Chaos battles....at level seven! In WoW, i would be killing kobolds outside IF, in happy non contested area...picking flowers. From level 1 through 7 i saw so many different areas, WAR is always keeping you on the move never letting you get drained of the same area for ten levels. In WoW at level 6 I would just be about to head to my second zone. WAR even gets deeper, you have 3 different exp bars, one for regular exp, one for pvp, and one for public quests (infamy). I guess what! Killing a player of the opposite faction actually gives you experiance for your regualr experiance bar.

     

    I feel like I might be rambling so I leave it at this. WAR is a fresh breath of air, a change of pace. It has a lot to offer you. Before you jump into WAR, you should enjoy pvp somewhat, but I think that even if you don't WAR can make you appreciate it. So i recomend you buy it for the free month try it out, and see if its for you, but get pass level 8 or 10 to actually make an accurate opinion of it.  I still love WoW, don't get me wrong, but hey! who says you can't play 2 MMOs?

    I would like to see Blizzard attempt something innovative. I would certainly look at them in a much better way. Before playing any mmo games I used to play games such as Diablo1&2 and Starcraft all the time. I would like their new MMO to be Diablo 3 but I fear Diablo 3 will be just another rpg in 3D.

     

    Don't fear Diablo 3 being just a RPG in 3d... if that's the way they go it will still be an amazing game.

    Actually I'm pretty sure the team behind Diablo 2 left Blizzard and started their own company... But anyways, it really could be anything. The fact that the picture looks like ice obviously makes you think of WotLK, but then again it could also be crystals/protoss things. The symbols around the picture can be linked to all 3 franchises. One of them resembles the largest rune on Arthas's blade at the WotLK website, one represents the rune "Hel" from Diablo 2, and one is the protoss racial symbol. I give Blizz the thumbs up for leaving us all guessing.

     

    to me it kind of seems like they are putting each game on the outside of the pictures via runes. Starcraft, World of warcraft, Diablo.. then maybe Warcraft and even Lost Vikings...then maybe perhaps unveil something new. Just a theory tho..as is everything about this is right now....just theories

• • Blizzard next gen mmo: Diablo?

  • Well.... Diablo 3 is coming if you like it or not. If it is Blizz's next MMO is another story. What its looking like is that we will hear something this weekend at Blizzard's World Wide Invitation in Paris. Last one they had was in Korea and they announced Starcraft 2. This Invitational's BIG announcement won't be WotLK or starcraft 2... why bring people from all over the globe to show them something from these already announced games. Check out 1up.com's atricle about the blizzard announcement on their home page for some more insight.

    What I think on the other hand, is mixed thoughts/opinions. If Diablo is in fact their next MMO, it won't be announced this weekend meaning that there will be maybe a new Blizzard IP. I think it might be Diablo 3, but it won't be an MMO. I would love to see Blizzard to take a new direction and try a new IP... It has to happen someday, they can't survive on only Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo.
