So NE hunter can become a demon hunter? Guess I know what class I'm playing ;P Would be cool if they could implement your guy being blind but having the daredevil-style "sight" ;p

Nanaki Ikanan · 08-23-2003, 07:10 PM

Anticipating it even more now...

Although, as was mentioned in another thread, I'm curious how the Orcs and Undead ally...guess we'll find out soon.

Cybsled · 08-23-2003, 09:28 PM

Well they havent said it outright, but it would have to be the forsaken faction...regular UD wouldnt fit. What do they have in common...

1) They both hate the dreadlords/burning legion because both were slaves to it

2) they have little love for the majority of humans and crew because they are persecuted by the majority

Jaina's group IS the minority. She's really the only faction thats buddy buddy with the orcs and NE, although one has to wonder why the NE would ally with the majority...

I think Jaina is going to end up being the key to this. Her human/dorf/elf faction is the only one with friendly terms with the NE and the orcs/tauren/trolls. Something is going to happen thats going to make the NE unfriendly with the orcs and ally themselves with the humans/dorfs at large, and it will probably be related to something that happens to her.

Although then again there IS the lich king. He was an orc originally. So theres the orc/undead connection. Although I find it unlikely that he will be controlling them. But there might be some sort of shared goal there that unites the forsaken and horde.

The cover is in there

ChewieTobbacca · 08-23-2003, 11:13 PM

Not to mention that Arthas/Lich King boy used to love Jaina

I'd say it revolves around how Jaina's group acts and along with the actions of the other humans during the orc campaign

ChewieTobbacca · 08-23-2003, 11:13 PM

Oh and the title was somewhat misleading - i almost expected 10 back and front pages not 8 back & fornt pages and 2 pages of titles

edit:

Hmm theres a few good things in those scans but a few "uhh..."s too

I mean the mention of the abomination quest - sounds great but wait, if anyoen can just attack it, why not some uber guy fucking up your quest. Like the good 'ol AC camps used to be - spawn quest and now instead of missing a spawn you have a guy stealing it (for the exp if anything as mentioned).

And looking at the classes... I can only say they better do a damn good job balancing or else we in a few years will be arguing the same balance shit as in EQ.

"Oh no mage (wiz anyone) goes oom and can't nuke!!!"

"rogues are gimp need boost!!"

"druids are good at nothing give them something waa waa!"

"shamans cant heal as good as priest, and can't buff as well either, need boost!"

oh and somehow the priest kinda scares the entire issue that clerics and CH and what not always had... hope to god this same shit won't repeat

The excellent communication is a good plus (haha take that soe)

But the previous GM experience (lol former SOE employees) kinda makes you.. scared

Samus Aran · 08-23-2003, 11:49 PM

Well, then I think your mission is clear, young padwan.

ChewieTobbacca · 08-23-2003, 11:51 PM

Oh well looks like good gaming in the near future...

Wonder how knights of the old republic will do on PC or if they ever release that x-com ufo defense remake.. not to mention WoW ;/

Lleauaric~EW · 08-24-2003, 05:38 AM

There is nothing new there at all.

Every single thing has been done before by someone else...

The test will be if they can do it any better and if they have come up with some magic bullet to solve problems nobody else has.

Another thing.. this game seems, in regards to the high end game.. well.. boring..

I remember the MOST fun times I had in EQ were when we in direct and intense competition with another guild..
Camping Trak all night to make a statement about a Coterie Nocturne and Darkwind rotation...
Racing to kill mobs and trying to mobilize faster..
Going head to head with other extremely talented and hardcore players, in something more and substantial than a gankfest, something with real repercussions..
THAT was fun...
That made people log on and stay on and things that tied people to their guilds and created a loyalty that went beyond the margins of the game.

We are all competitive.. The PVE portion of WoW looks like it has had its competive aspect in PVE almost surgically removed..
Thats a shame.
Oh well

In reading Sigils boards.. they have pretty much stated that Instancing is bad idea.. I agree..
Instancing Sucks.

Cybsled · 08-24-2003, 05:43 AM

CN camped Trak in Velious? Wtf...thats almost...BOTTOMFEEDING ;OOO

Hehe
