Be real... How is MoP? Be 100% honest

**Bethan** · 2012-10-05, 06:05 AM

new raids, so I'm really happy

and the boss we killed/tried were fun, maybe very slightly undertuned given the fact that we severely undergear them, but mecanics are fun and heroic mode seem really promising. Also need more totally OP trash !

Leveling was kinda annoying but was fast enough so it's not an issue anymore once it's done

And there's so many things to do that I'm pretty sure I won't get bored for the next 4-5 months, so no reason to complain neither.

I really can't see how they could make things better (and I only really have issues with outside boss beeing overfarmed on my server, I'd prefer if they either droped lower level loot, were a lot harder, or could be looted by more than 40ppl each time (right now it's nearly mandatory to try and kill them, but many groups are up each time and the first to tag it always manage to kill it no matter what, and the fact that you can use many coins by killing it as many time doesn't help at all)).

This expansion is awesome, so much to do, really fun and awesome expansion

This is why I always stick with mid pop servers :3.

In cata you whined about heroics being too hard, now too easy. Please make up your mind?

There is always going to be someone who whines about a decision, so you can't really rely on their opinions, and I honestly I don't think Blizzard does. They look at what they did, the outcome, and figure out what they could have done better.

People leaving because they are bored or not satisfied is not really a threat, even if people don't whine about it on the forums those are the reasons people leave. If a lot of people are leaving, then it is a problem, if they aren't then it isn't. The hard thing for Blizzard is to fight these problems proactively and stop them before they happen. It is much easier to keep player subscribed by giving them fun stuff to do than to convince them to come back after they have lost faith in the company. Frankly I think not playing a game because you aren't having fun isn't a threat it is common sense.

So you are basically saying that you watched someone run 100 meters in under 10 seconds and are now calling it easy. Really?

**Hanto** · 2012-10-05, 06:07 AM

So far, I'm liking it a lot. My monk is 88 and I'm trying to get her to 90 by the middle of the weekend. I'm not looking forward to daily grinds, so I'm gonna see if I can avoid that with tons of dungeon runs or something (I've never been a dailies person in this game, ever).

I can't wait to get to 90 with my pals though so we can start doing stuff together. Probably gonna try to have a gear set for all three specs, since I'm relatively fond of the healing.

I would say, so far, I am really enjoying it (Giving it about a 8.9/10)
I would go as far to say that it, to an extent, feels kind of over whelming. (I have many, many alts and my prediction is this will die down as time progresses of course). I am sort of glad that Blizz with-holded LFR, and normal raids, so that I at least had some time to level one alt/gear my main a little more.

Like wise. There is a ton to do. For example I want to eventually make the JC mounts to eventually get the epic one, but it requires alchemy for the bars and I haven't even looked at my rogue yet. lol. Take into account that the bars have a 1day cd unless I get spirit of harmony, but they're bop. sigh. :P

**strangerdanger** · 2012-10-05, 06:10 AM

7.5/10.

I'm enjoying the quests and the rep grind.

I just want your 100% honest opinion on how MoP is so far. Please rate the following categories on a scale of 1/10. 1 being worst, and 10 being best.
PVP Balance
PVE Balance
PVE Difficulty compared to WOTLK Difficulty (1 being way easier, 10 being way harder, 5 being about the same)
Story Depth (With 1 being boring and 10 being interesting, and gripping) (Does the PVE content relate to, and bolster the story line?)

It's awesome.

**internetheroxD** · 2012-10-05, 06:13 AM

As i stated before, i like it alot but havent playd a huge amount of it.
But its great, compared to Cata its much, much better

**Emerald** · 2012-10-05, 06:14 AM

its a very beautiful Game the zones are all have very nice flair to them.
Healing for example is quit fun with the given mana pool you got.
Only down side is the massive grinds of dailies at end game to reach exalted with the factions.
But all in all i am not disappointed.

The way I look at it, the longer the grind the better. If it was all super fast to get exalted with most of the factions what fun would that be? haha. The longest grind for a faction if you want to call it that is Nat Pagle and in the end all you get is some lousy hat. Terrible reward. LOL.

**Archaeon** · 2012-10-05, 06:16 AM

Mop was better than I expected, but it has some glaring issues such as the stupid amount of rep grinds, crafting professions being terrible, bop motes/spirits of harmony, pvp balance being out of whack (to be expected at the start of an expansion), scenarios being near useless, justice points are useless, no pvp weapons, etc.

Overall though I'm enjoying it. We'll see for how long. Guild Wars 2 kept me going for about a week, although in that case I'm not paying a sub so if they ever improve it I can just jump back in.

**Mokenuf** · 2012-10-05, 06:16 AM

They broke reputations and JC and VP usage, other than that the game is superb.

Many ppls cancel their subscription without a single world, like i did 6 months ago before returning to MoP. Same did 4-5 my friends and judging by BLizz data another couple of millions. If you'll multiply 2 mil x 13$ per month you'll see that it's a very substantial losses - up to 310 mil/year. And assuming recent Blizz data 10 mil ppls paying subscription can expect more content then sitting on their butts and farming DS for 8 months.

Generally Blizz reliased DS and went over to MoP development, leaving live servers players on their own. And for 3 subscription months you can buy GW2, get loads more content then couple major patches offer, take a look at what's proper PvP balance is (at least proper compared to WoW), enjoy great visual effects and see what's real class customization is.

What i want to say is that Blizz does it's job just enough to keep some ppls in and keep some ppls in quit-return cycle, not pushing their Dev team to create a much better game (or simply not financing dev team enough).

**Ragedaug** · 2012-10-05, 06:17 AM

While I can admit that I could be easily wrong. I don't see MoP bleeding subs like Cata did. There's far more to do every time you log on regardless of how little or how much time you have. As long as Blizzard can find a consistent path to trend where they aren't making any major changes to upset either the casual or hardcore camps, I believe MoP will do ok, and I wouldn't doubt it if we even see the player base grow over the next year.

**PHsname** · 2012-10-05, 06:19 AM

Cooking/farming is retarded.

Other than that, everything is great.

Raids are interesting.

**ClearlyConfused** · 2012-10-05, 06:19 AM

Very good, Loving the cinematics and story. Awesome gear designs and tons of things to do.

**Fals** · 2012-10-05, 06:21 AM

PVP Balance - Horrible - 1 big who oneshots who first party.
PVE Balance - The dps difference isnt that huge yet but we'll know more when we go into heroics.
PVE Difficulty compared to WOTLK Difficulty (1 being way easier, 10 being way harder, 5 being about the same) normal and heroic 5 man is a joke. challengemodes are alright

**PowerGamez** · 2012-10-05, 06:21 AM

PVP Balance 3
PVE Balance 8
PVE Difficulty 5
Story Depth 3
