World of WarCraft Stress Test

Burning_Samurai · 09-02-2004, 01:02 PM

For anyone who is part of the World of WarCraft Stress Test, please post your thoughts and experiences here. What your favorite part of the game today, or what do you think needs to be changed. I just want general thoughts or feelings from those of you experiencing the game for the first time. I have been in the Beta for a few months but and interested in what new players are feeling.

I've never heard of this game, what's it like?

Tuco · 09-02-2004, 01:13 PM

So what server are we all on then?

Let's be on Sargaraas... or whatever it is. It has no lag right now for the win.

if you're on there, I'm Tuco, send me a whisper or whatever.

Andorion · 09-02-2004, 01:42 PM

How many servers total? How many people on?

Lefazz · 09-02-2004, 01:59 PM

So far it's been completely playable. I initially tried a gnome, then went and made a couple of other races. holy crap, seems like no one plays gnome/dwarfs because the other races' areas were jam packed.

I played for like half an hour and logged. I found it to be pretty god damn boring. I'm an undead priest and it was crowded but that didn't really affect my opinion. I got 4 or 5 quests done and made it out to the Undercity before realizing I was bored. Anyone else have this happen?

Zignor · 09-02-2004, 02:47 PM

Yes.

It's called the extreme low levels of every MMORPG seem to suck ass for some reason.

I'm a Tauren warrior on a PvP server. I forgot the name of the server, but I'll post it later.
I'm having quite a bit of fun so far. I hit level 4 in about 20 or 30 minutes, but unfortunately have somewhere to be tonight, or I'd keep going.
Anyways, zero lag or latency, have not had any crowding problems..but I purposely picked the PvP server and a race I thought might not be popular.

Lost Ranger · 09-02-2004, 03:34 PM

So far I am loving the Druid class...

Any REAL beta testers who might have a high one? Can anyone tell how they are at high end? I dont want to make a druid if they are going to end up like EQ druids.. AKA worthless

doharg · 09-02-2004, 03:56 PM

Don't have time to level because the Hurricane is coming, but I've been starting lots of classes just to look around at their home city. The WoW world has such a great feel to it and tons of personality everywhere you look. I've had zero lag and no technical issues. If I had to complain about something, it would be the lack of character customization; Of course, that is if I Had to complain about something. I've been impressed overall, and now that I've seen the game can say for sure that I will be playing come release (Assuming I have power back on by then=p)

Tuco · 09-02-2004, 04:14 PM

Play on Sargeras, it's a pvp server. We can make a guild and ruin the Alliance' lives!!! rwarr....

Lost Ranger · 09-02-2004, 04:23 PM

Ok... I do have one concern. I dont think the newbie zones can really support that many newbs. When the game goes live the newb zones will be even more packed then they are now and there just isnt enough mobs for everyone.

Constant fighting over whos killing what can get old. There should either be more spawns, or quicker respawn in the new lands... just IMO though

At release, this is always a problem - and later, when there is no longer an influx of newbies, there will be empty zones

Drozzt · 09-02-2004, 04:54 PM

So far so good. I've had a few crashes that i need to reboot the whole system to fix but its seems smooth so far, no lag which shocked me.

Tuco · 09-02-2004, 05:03 PM

I hope WoW supports a robust spawn adjustment system that will up the spawn times on contested areas if the mobs are being killed quickly.

Then again, this isn't a big deal because of instances.
