    I'm undecided on when to order this game. I want to level one character to 90, but do I have to pre-order to do that, or can I wait until release to order?

    The 90 boost is only free with a pre-order.  If you're going to make use of it best dungeon ya way to lvl 60 cus at lvl 60 your professions also boost up.  If it helps it's taken me about 10 hours of play to get to lvl 35 just doing dungeon finder after lvl 15, a mate of mine rolled a monk and has made use of the monk buff that gives him a 50% exp increase and in the about the same time he's level 48.

    It is impossible to please all players with different tastes, I know. Even when I was unhappy with some change, there were at least 10 changes that made me happy.

    But now. I hope this zerg fest instances has become, will not be with Wod. I enjoyed a lot how hard were initial instances of WOTLK ... but from there free fall. Now I do not have anything to level anymore (have all 22 alts lv. 90) but makes me sick playing 5man hc's in Pandaria where now main bosses are down in matter of seconds sometimes. Really disgusting.

    Another thing that was advertised as one of most important, updated models. Even greater failure. They have made models with more detail but they have CHANGED their form! Beards, front, eyes, ... completely redone, from screen there are total strangers stearing to you, not avatars I have been playing for years.

    Just look to this abomination:

    Not to even talk about further dumbing down gameplay and rest. No, dear Blizzard, you have not at all just "simplified" anything, you have effectively succedded to dumb down your game even more.

    I have never been so disappointed with Blizzard so far, not even in cumlative sense. I will of course play Wod, but I'm not so excited or happy as I was with any other expansion.

    no doubt wow is easier than it was in classic.  It has also removed a lot of micromanaging like brewing poisons for rogues and feeding pets for hunters and not run out of ammo.

     

    I remember a time when you needed to time your castet aimed shot as to not clip auto fire.  That was too hard for the casual people.  Keeping mana was apparently also too hard. today hunters don't even get to have a melee weapon,  only a ranged weapon.

     

    I played several hunters in my time in wow,  I have several level 80 hunters,  not to mention I got 1 of most other classes too exept deathknoght. Hunters just allways appealed to me.  Still my favourite hunter was the classic hunter.  The later hunters were not bad,  I even quite liked when disengage was changed. I tried Pandaria for a couple of levels.  It just didn't feel right.  When I stopped enjoying playing my hunter I stopped playing wow.

     PVE content has not been challenging since Vanilla and BC. Raiding is such a watered down version of anything challenging. About the only thing challenging is PvP, but at max level it gets stupid unless you can get the max gear fast because you go up against people with 550+ gear.

    Where's the article about how this expansion costs more than any other before it and also has less features and content than any other expansion before it?

    It's funny that WoW is never put under the scrutiny that other games receive. Just because it is popular it is somehow also flawless, that is how it always has been and always will be. Same with League of Legends, Call of Duty, etc.

     

    Granted I think this expac will be of a better quality than MoP. But it is still WoW, it doesn't fundamentally change anything and I need more features added to this 10 year old game than Garrisons...

    Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War
    Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile

    I was under the impression that the lvl 90 boost came with the expansion whether you pre-order or not. However if you pre-order you get to use the boost immediately rather than having to wait until the release date.

    Lvl 90 boost comes with WoD. That's the whole point of catching up, or to play with your friends as fast as possible. Wouldn't make much sense to restrict it to pre-order.

    wish they just focused on a good cgi movie (like their trailers)- thatll make em millions.

    yah that was out of topic.

    something like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0803096/?ref_=nv_sr_1 ?

    nah, thats live action-itll flop.  i mean like their trailers CGI.

     

    the movie is CG. Also its telling one of the best stories in the lore, the opening of the orginal dark portal it most certanly will not flop, if anything it will shatter some records just off the fan base that is pre established for it.

     

    As for the topic ive been playing again for the past little while and im looking very muh towards WoD. I didnt mind Panda land it seemed like they were getting back to the righ direction after the crapfest that was Cata and WoD really gives me that feeling of completion again.

    Then we'll likely get the obligatory horribly-rushed console action game to release the same week as the movie :) 

    Well, you're just a basket full of kittens, aren't you?

    I'll bet a storm cloud hangs over your head everywhere you go.

    Optional PvP = No PvP

    I'm done with WOW but glad some folks are going to be able to have a good time playing.  I used to enjoy grouping and raiding quite a bit but the simplifying of the game really turned me off. Things are pretty dry right now with many of the newest MMOs just not doing it for me so I understand going back for some.

    I recently went back to Rift and have been really impressed at where the game has gone.  I think I'll be happy here again for some time.

    Too bad Rift is about a boring as watching paint dry to actually play and not just plan characters.
