Fairly unimpressed so far after leveling to 61. Same gameplay, different textures, caters to casuals.

Meh.

Guess I'm not really sure. Its pretty boring advancing up to 70 knowing that very few of my items will be replaced. Game is still extremely "solo" based in terms of questing. Ramparts was uninventive and felt like I was running LBRS.

Maybe I'm just getting bored of WoW in general, *shrug*

If you raid, then there isn't going to be anyhting exciting and new really while you level, the fun stuff comes from.... raiding.

If you don't raid than their is a slew of stuff to get/do while you play.

This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that has played these games for any period of time, most of the EQ expansions offered little to people coming into the expansion fully equipped from the previous expansions raiding. You plow through the levels ignoring lore and any other frivolous crap so that you can begin raiding again.

What Surlok said. There's lots to do at 70 but if you are in a guild that was hitting AQ40/Naxx with a vengeance then there's not going to be much for you in the way of content until that point. In the meantime, schmoes like me are going to be having a field day.

I remember them saying 60-70 will take as long as it took to get from 1-60? I guess that changed.

One of my problems is I have a very hard time getting up to wanting to raid in WoW anymore. Its pretty fun (until you've run the same instance for a year) but with how easy I'm hearing arena pvp awards are to get and how retardedly easy it is to get decked in general PvP rewards I just see that as a better time investment if I'm concerned about getting geared in the game. Despite what the casuals say about how raid guilds just give away epics, I've been in my guild coming up on 2 years now and have raided every raid day; my epics did not fall from the sky. I earned them. When I see someone who spent a weekend in AV (usually afk in the cave) get near-par DPS items ... it sours me on the game.

lol never amazed... figured it would take a week for that to happen guess I was even wrong.

Usha Starchild · 01-16-2007, 11:20 PM

Just somehting I was thinking about recently...

If I were to powerlevel myself using a charachter of opposite faction to help kill the mobs after I tag them, would I get FULL exp?

If that works I could see leveling up REALLY fast get really easy.

Kodylan · 01-16-2007, 11:31 PM

The launch itself? Hell yeah it was smooth. I played for about 18 hours straight from ~midnight CST on. Why was it smooth? Well duh, it was a midnight release. As soon as primetime rolled around, the servers went to complete shit, just like original release.

This new hardware they were banking on supporting the TBC playerbase does not do it, at all. And why is this, you ask? Well gee, maybe it's because everyone is in the same fucking zone.

How they didn't think about the ramifications of this is just... I don't know. I'm at a loss to be completely honest.

Wildstone · 01-17-2007, 12:11 AM

Don't understand what people are bitching about. My server is perfect. All the starting zones are lag free, and Hellfire Peninsula is stable. Only lag is when you first zone into the new area. Only issue is the 900 person wait to login. But I really can't blame Blizzard for that. And my server (Sargeras) was one of the original servers.

dak · 01-17-2007, 12:27 AM

Played all last night 12am-7am with little to no lag. Played today from 1pm to around 6pm with little to no lag.

At 6pm outside zones started getting 2-10 second lag, instances were lag free.

At around 8pm no matter where you were it was laggy as hell.

9ish I said screw it. I'll try again tomorrow morning.

63 btw.

kcxiv · 01-17-2007, 12:37 AM

They need to not even bother with levels if the guy made it to 70 that fast.

Phoenix · 01-17-2007, 12:51 AM

Holy fuck, and I thought seeing lvl64s tonight was horrible.

Dammerung · 01-17-2007, 12:53 AM

Guys, please don't talk about any problems with the launch.

The Blizzard Dynasty continues unchallenged.
