Theramore Scenario Now Live

It was very... underwhelming.. at least they should make some explanation or something. I was expecting more cutscenes, and scripted events, explanation and storytelling. I got basically nothing.

O'well.

Don't watch the video, the guy bunny hops everywhere and talks to people you can't see. Super annoying.

O'well.

What you got was a sample taste of scenarios, i.e instanced 3man quests, and to witness the first event leading to the war in Pandaria.
That's it. Oh, and a nice way to cap Justice. And get some misc items.

The 85 version lasts merely a week, so it's just a little bonus while we wait for the 25th.

People need to calm the hell down and realize that Theramore is in no way shape or form comparable to the disruptive zombie event, because it's not even trying to be.

Everything, and i do mean EVERYTHING blizzard do should be epic and much better than this, even an unimportant scenario, even a pet, even ... everything. By blizzard own words, if its not "blizzard worthy", it shouldnt be done.

I don't care about loot, dificulty, chalenge, rewards, etc. I just wanted something with lore, entertaining in some way and revealing of the story going forward. Blizzard even promissed that MOP would start to go towards more story driven content, but i have to say this was a terribly bad start.

This was rushed, nothing realy surprising not even entertaining. It baffles my mind that blizzard can't do something realy amazing anymore, just random assorted and plain "meh"... Warcraft lore is amazing, realy interesting and the fact that this team can't come up with something realy as amazing as the lore only makes me sad and disapointed. It seams that blizzard team has lots its "touch" a long time ago.

I have forgiven the terrible lazy TOC patch, i have forgiven the (again) lazy Dragon Soul patch, but i'm surely completely worn out of content that comes out and i just say "meh..."

This was again another example of what lazyness is going on in blizzard for a long long time. What wrong with you, realy? the lore has amazing potential, your graphical engine (while dated) is capable of much more grandious things, then why such lame things come out ?

Honestly, sigh for you blizzard!

I think the issue is that they (or at least the theramore one) deliver as much (if not less) story than even a standard quest. Blizzard have said they were going to be story telling mechanics, which I like - but they said that about archaeology - both seem to have failed in that regard.

I don't mind them being trivial and requiring no effort, but I'd like to get SOMETHING out of them - and they're not delivering in the story department.

wow this was so underwhelming and boring, its incredible....

yeah i know, scenarios arent supposed to be hard or dungeons, but why did blizzard chose this as the mop pre event? i dont understand

It was kinda... short. Im still hoping that side effect of mana bomb use will be rising theramore people from they graves (or soupcan's if they were buried in one) and cause second zombie event.

bugged out mid fight

Now the queues are 40 mins, don´t nobody give a damn about wow anymore ?

AMEN !

Could not agree more with you !

Think this is the first time I've seen almost everyone agree that something in WoW is actually objectively terrible. And people say WoW is going as strong as ever. :/

Halls of Stone (The history of the curse of flesh)

Halls of Lightning (The story of Loken)

Shadowfang Keep (Arugal story)

Pit of Saron and Frozen Halls ICC instances with the Arthas role.

There you go five instances off the top of my head with more lore in them.

Whatever. Im done arguing about this.

It was cheap and shit. And the "they invested resources in Panda" crap is bollocks. Think what you want. Point is this is crap and cheap.

Except those dungeons never told the story, they merely gave us the chance to kill them. The true story was told throughout the zones you quested through.

Halls of Stone and Lokens story began in Howling Fjord and continued in Grizzly Hills and Finally Storm Peaks.

Arugals was told in Silverpine forest, though not very good as vanilla storytelling wasn't at it's greatest.

The IC 5 Mans? Yeah right, Arthas showed up in one, what story did that tell us? Nothing that those of who played WC3 and read novels didn't already know. Or how about? Thou must vanquish him upon the throne! Clearly not overused right?

Seriously just calm the fuck down it's a game, you're acting as if someone came and beat the crap out of you irl. I'm sure there's a lot of people who are disappointed (I am) but there's also a lot of people who are taking this wayyyyyyyyy to serious, you are one of those people along with the others who cannot remove their heads from their backsides and realise this was -NOT- a pre mop event. And for the record you cannot disprove what ghostcrawler said about investing the resources into mists, you're simply on an emo rampage.

Which would make it a colossal waste of time trying to reason with you. I'll come back when you're out of this RAWRRRR SMASH attitude of yours.

I came here expecting people to be mad... I was not disappointed. Just another round of people bitching about wow to bitch about wow.

Pancaspe thinks its awesome.

To all calling this the pre launch event....This is a not a pre launch event so no need to compare it. This is just something for us to do this week and then we get to do it more at lvl 90. There is a blue post made a while back stating there was not going to be a pre launch event for MoP.

So you're saying you wouldn't get bored of that scenario after the 5th run?

So the pet is Horde only? Thats pretty crappy :/ Was the only reason why I was looking forward to it, that pet woulda been my 150th pet... but apparently it says its horde only.

whole R&D department, should have already been fired...
its blizzard , its 2012 , come on ...
QQ

In Germany we say, do it right or leave it alone.
This is not right. I don't expect blizzard to put 10 ppl in this who worked 3 weeks for it.
But more story, come one!
Explain why horde attack, why we are there, give the playerm more to do then just rofl trough the noname enemys.
Better cutscene, etc

What I think is funny is that people actually thought this event would be good. Blizzard flat out ran out of time.

Why do you think on the Diablo BETA you could only play up to the Skeleton King?
Why do you think that they didn't put this on the PTR?

The answer is that because the player base would see how shitty it is and actually start to look at other products. Blizzard has been able to feed us mindless bullshit for the past 4-5years because of the lack of overall choice in a MMO. While no other MMO will be able to overtake WoW. Each one is doing a small dent, and over the course of time those dents are going to, and starting to, add up. If they want to fix those dents they need to be putting out content that is quality and at a faster rate.
