I am linking mmo-champion because i like it better than the official site deal with it


I really just can't get excited for this and this is what i was hoping would get this game out of its slump. I'm sure alot of us were holding out for a decent raid tier but this is shaping up to be exactly the same thing as TOC and that is exactly when i quit the first time around in WOTLK is when TOC came out it was the worst raid tier


Seriously i'm tired of Daily Quest grinds really wish they could come up with something different


DISCUSS

I bet this is going to be WAAAAAAY more of a grind than the old Silithius quests were back in vanilla (which was blizzard's first pathetic attempt to give "solo content to non-raiders".

Anyone who was around at the time will remember how pathetic that was.

Now if it really IS like argent tournament, AND there are FULL sets of gear to be obtained, THEN I will concede that blizzard has finally, after all this time, actually delivered.

But we know they are not capable of such

Oooh, look. Fire. Dragons. Burninating the countryside.

That's so exciting.

This really is looking more like a ToC or a Sunwell, both of which were filler raids iirc.

Sunwell - 6 bosses and a daily hub
ToC - 5 bosses and a daily hub
Firelands - 7 bosses and a daily hub

So far this expansion has been pretty light on content. Looks like that's not going to change anytime soon.

Pretty sure Firelands is going to have a full set of T12 gear plus offer a new legendary staff for dps.

New raid = good.

Pace of additional content = sad.

I have zero desire to any dailies ever again the rest of my MMORPG life. WOTLK and cata ez-mode alt speed leveling push it on you way too fast. In general the concept of doing rep grinds to exhalted to buy one epic is pitiful, as with the core WOTLK or cata reps.

I could care less about more dailies for soloists. Never did Argent Tournament. Games that are massively multiplayer should focus on group-oriented content and people who want to mostly solo should play another genre.

They wouldn't need solo filler content to keep people who normally group for stuff busy if there was more to do grouped and you didn't burn out fast on what little there is.

ZG/ZA are good even if it's revamped old content. Problem is they can take a while. I can do them but instances that take while, especially for the less uber amazing players, can't be done by a lot of players who can't commit 2-3 hours to an instance (yes, I know, it doesn't take that long for some...keyword being "some".

I'm reserving judgement. I watched the 15 min video, and from the way the quest guy told it, you're not doing the same 8 quests over and over. It sounded like there is a progressive storyline and different quests. He made the point there is a progressive story arc for each person, yet people can somehow group for some of the questing, too--so I'm not sure how that will work.

Just LOL.

So, you require a group in order to function..

that's fine,(laughable, but fine) but don't knock people who are more independent, and do not require a 4 player crutch to get things accomplished, or have fun.

If you really only like group play, and nothing else, you need to be playing DDO. You would love it.

It doesn't work like that, and will never work like that. It sort of almost used to work like in some games, back when gamers did not have a choice.


The G in MMORPG does not stand for (forced) grouping.


I say this with all seriousness, and I agree with most of your posts, you have a bit of a block about the forced grouping thing and I think it has a negative (and inaccurate) effect on your view of the genre.

I couldn't find a < blink > tag or I would have added that for additional emphasis.
