WoW is for me others are for you...please read

Okay I have been playing the stress test silently soloing and got into a couple of groups. I can’t wait for the game to come out more than ever before; it is exactly what I expected and what I wanted from the game. The graphics and game play put me right in a FANTASY world and for me that’s what I was looking for.

Then I see other posts of people criticizing the game because there is nothing new, I see lots of old and NEW blended in the game. Then I see people say they uninstalled in three
days…you’re kidding right?? Unless you really tried the game in depth PLEASE don’t post your opinions…three days…pleeessse. (At least that is what I said at first…then I thought about it.)

My conclusion, this game is for people who are not looking for THE game that will change your world. When the reality is…that game will never come. We live in a society that continually wants more. Most of the people who criticize WoW, EQ2, Guild wars, and the plethora of other games that come into the market are because they have played too many games or have to high of expectations.

These people are looking for a game that is so specific that they will never find it. “I want a game that has all new features.” Won’t happen because the game companies know the old ones work, best you can hope for is a blend. I want this and this and this and….you get the point.

So I guess what I am saying is people need to start thinking before they post what they post. Are you saying what you are thinking because you really don’t like the game play and graphics or are you expectations so high there is NO game that will satisfy you? How many of you out there had “Great expectations of SWG and Horizons, only to walk away disgusted because it wasn’t what you wanted?”

So I ask this politely and with great respect for the other MMORPG’s out there, please stop trolling into there other areas and making other gamers miserable because your expectations a to high, we like our games and you don’t have to play them. WoW is the right game for me and I set realistic expectations for the game, host of games are coming out between October and December, the fans that are going to play them are set. Stop trying to convince us we are going to like your game better, we found our game and it’s not yours. Leave us in peace to enjoy it.

(Back to reality, now that I have said what I have said let the clueless begin the flames…sigh)

    Well i think its a well polished game.For those always looking for "something new" keep looking and trolling.WoW is solid in my books.

  • diegolinkdiegolink Member Posts: 195

    Agreed.

    I hate when SOE fanboys .....cough..crock..cough cough are flaming games because "hey we will have EQ2".

    Im currently playing AO, and i hate when someone writes "boo SWG is better" i mean, who the heck in this universe says SWG is better than AO (yup, you can laugh image)?.

    Or "WoW graphics sux", they are insane, but what can we do? SOE trolls

    I don't mean this to be a flame of one game or another, just a polite please think before you write, for all the games out there. I felt it needed to be said, I just happen to like WoW...Thanks for the replies. ::::02::

    Nice post.  I agreed with it, especially when you say we all have our preferences and some people expect too much from mmorpgs.

    I have a clear idea of what type of setting I like the game to be in and of certain features inthat game, but otherwise, I am not looking for the ONE game.  I realistically don't think there will ever be one for me because the majority of players out there (who the game makers focus on) would not like it.

    I haven't tested WoW at all so I can't comment, but I agree that a fair amount of time must be spent on a mmorpg to accurately describe and critize it.  That's not to say that someone cannot like the game after just 3 days, that is understandable, but to come on forums to tell other people that the game sucks and they should not play it, based on 3 days, is silly.

    Now, why on the world would you go and take a great thread and then ruin it by "provoking" a fight for those who like EQ2.

    He likes WoW...that's awesome, good for him and I trust he'll love it. But don't go and make potshots against people who like EQ2....you're only provoking flames on this thread to occur.

    But JBO, I'm glad you like it!  Do you have a guild yet?

    The game can be fun, it is polished. It has a nice crafting system. But truth of the matter is, it's a level grind. Even the PvP servers are watered down. And the whole instancing thing can keep you away from any confrontation for a while if you want. You don't lose anything when you die, so PvP is not painful, nor is it rewarding.

    Unless they institute a old school style UO/AC1 Darktide-esque PvP server. I don't think i'll be playing. I've played every level grind out there. And personally I don't wanna do it again.

     I will probably buy this game for now since it's polished and has the general keys every MMO needs, but once an MMO comes out with an original idea done sucessfully, i will drop this game like a bag of potatoes.

    The only expectations i have for the upcoming mmorpg's is awesome graphics with the usual rules of mmorpg intact, like skill advance and good economic systems. I love being rich in mmorpgs. Hopefully wow could be the type game im looking for. imageimage

    Not ye I have 3 freinds that are going to join me in retail, we want to work together for a bit and then try to find a guild that fits our style of play. Know any guild boards that would have general info? Thanks for asking, we are thinking of it in the future.

    The Guild Im involved in is top-notch.  Kunou is the Guild leader (staff member here).  They'll have a guild presence in Both EQ2 and in WoW. 

    The website in on my Sig....bring your friends over and say hello!  They need more WoW players in the guild.

    You are telling people who say they dont like WoW they are wrong. And in the meantime you are preaching on how you like WoW.
    And you are telling people who post that they think WoW is junk not to post. Yet you made a post about your own opinion, but others are not entitled theirs.
    I rate your intelligence on a scale of 1 out of 10.
    I myself uninstalled WoW not even halfway into the stress test. There was nothing new. Nothing great about it. And it was a waste of my time to even play as much as I did.
    Live with it. image

    No I said the game is right for me and the other games you like are right for you...I did not say everyone should play WoW. Once againread before you post...this is exactly what I am talking about...people lash out to hurt other people around here without being objective a reading the posts. And thank you for being mean spirited and making me feel smal...I won't post again sorry if I wated you time....

    That was sorta uncalled for. He stated he liked the game no need to say that.

    LOL, I wonder how many of us were to act if we were actually talking to the other poster in real life versus over the internet. Would be interesting.

    He also said that anyone who did not like WoW had no right to post or shouldnt.

    That makes him a hypocrite since he made a post about liking WoW rather then disliking.

    So 1 star for you.

    R1tual, are you missing the point on purpose? it's not this complex of an issue. Notice the pattern that you down every game to dirt when you're done with it? That means J is talking about You. Listen. image

    I bet I can run faster scared than you can mad!!

         Well i never got to play any test on WoW but from what i've heard it seems likes it's going to be a great game and I honestly can't wait to play. That's my opinion and I think that all opinions should be welcomed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

  • aLeX666aLeX666 Member Posts: 153
    I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings but WoW is nowhere close to what I hoped it would be 2 years ago. They went the EverQuest way. I hit lvl 22 and all I've been doing is : Get a Quest, Kill Monsters, Gain Exp, Gain new items, Level, Do another Quest, Gain Exp, Level, Get better items and some trade skills now and then.  For me, it's an evolved version of EQ. It's way better than EQ, but it's still EQ-like. Class balance sucked. PvP must suck because this game is level and item based, as EverQuest was. Once you're done with the content, wait until expansion... EQ-like again. You are forced to kill monsters in order to be a crafter... EQ-like. Ok it was a stress test, but their networking system didn't seem quite right. I've never participated in a stress test that crashed as much. The competition was a joke. I feel bad... simply because I've been waiting for so long, even while playing EQ. Had way more fun in GuildWars E3 for Everyone Alpha demo. I am now a 100% GW Fanboi.

    So, we are supposed to only point out the good things about a game?

    Most everyone here is interested in all MMORPGs, thus, the point of this website. They aren't here for WoW or EQ2 only, because there are many websites for JUST those games. This site is for people who want to explore them all, or at least several, and they get their information here. People's opinions are what makes this website's forums good to check out for people interested in MMORPGs. ALL opinions, even the "SWG pwns, u suck" type show at least what the vocal people are interested in.

    The negative posts about the games are just a way that people can let others know what things about the game they didn't like. I want them and most of the people on this site also want them. If you don't have them, then it's just advertising.

    Right on.  Finwe is saying we cant express our opinions if it disagrees with his.  But he is wrong.

     

    But my opinion is that WoW isnt all that great.

    I downed the game because I played it and didnt think it was all that great.  I expressed my opinion on why.  That means J is being a hypocrite because he is saying I cant express my opinion becuase he disagrees with it.
