Don't like it at all, it looks just like a console game feature, which is likely where they are headed with all the dumbing down, morons probably think consolization will be their saving grace.

Like many others I too will be unsubing when this crap hits the fan, I mean expac gets released.

It's always amusing to see a troll fail. I haven't even pre-ordered SW:TOR yet.
I may switch from "WoW fanboi" to "SWTOR fanboi", who knows... if the game is good... but some people never change, they were asshats, they remain asshats

If you have plans to play D3 and still dabble with WoW even a tiny bit, its actually quite economical . Even if the xpac is going to be your stepping off point.

If you KNOW you are done with WoW forever then this deal wouldn't interest you at all.

I guess I don't see anything LOL worthy about saving some $$.

Not trying to be negetive .. am I missing something though? Maybe I interpreted the deal wrong..

Heh...

Rift's Character customization puts WoW's to shame now.

http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html

Simply go look at that, and feel sad that WoW's has been converted into 6 choices.

And here's that sad thing, not only does Rift have that for customization, They have a planar attunement as well, and while you can get everything in planar attunement, it would take a while... and since there is going to be 3 levels of each plane.. it would take a long while.

Basically, if ya like Old WoW, you play Rift, if ya like Dumbed down WoW, you play WoW.

Don't think so.


Been checking on the board looking for the kind of info that's just come out (and posting too much, including this one )


From a marketing viewpoint, if Blizzard had kept WotLK intact, and then created WoW2 with all the new Cat changes forward (instead of gutting/redefining an existing game within itself in an effort to reduce maintenance/overhead costs?), I suspect they could have kept some subscription numbers. Everytime I share more of the latest info, the responses I get from guildmates and others that have left after Cat came out are: "Omg, I got out at the right time!" (See above poster's comment regarding 10 year old's reaction to new talent trees.)


Once again, unfortunately, the phrase "dumbing down" applies. New monk graphics and talent trees. With new, "simpler" approaches to play, it appears that Blizzard thinks there is an uptapped market to farm (and so once again, as they did with Vanilla), is lowering the "perceived" barriers to entry. Unless, according the conspiracy theories, Blizzard actually IS trying to kill their own game. (Still wondering who's in charge and why they are still there...)


It would be nice to think there was something worth coming back to.


And yes, a lot of us would LOVE to have a viable monk class in an MMO again. Not sure this is it. Blizzard may have over-estimated the pull the monk-class concept would have; implementation matters.


Really hope these changes go well for everybody still playing and looking forward to more fun!

Wow, just wow. Is this the sum of their best efforts?

Back in the start of wow, they excelled thanks to being able to take other ideas, polish and deliver an significant improvement on the existing field.

I guess when you come from being the underdog, to being the kingpin (so to speak), it becomes harder to innovate and "take risks" on real evolution and improvement. tis a pity
