    You might be blinded by the past, but Wotlk heroics was just as easy as these. Tanking them with ilvl 378 shoulders is nothing compared to what you could do with TBC gear in Wotlk. Naxx was first cleared in Sunwell gear and T6, and same thing for heroics. It was pitiful. Sadly, they pulled it again.

    Boy I think I know what Warcraft is all about more than you do. It's Warcraft, it's about Horde vs Alliance, not bashing some weak prick who thinks he can shit while he gets his ass kicked 4 times and ultimately dying due to the weakest plan in Warcraft history. Sacrifing ALL of his damn minions to try and raise 10 (or 25) adventurers while he keeps the wielder of the Ashbringer alive right behind him.

    The dungeons were just as easy as now, the raids were even easier than the normal dungeons, forgettable zones like Sholazar, Grizzly Hills, whatever that eastern place with the vrykul was called and Boring Tundra. Icecrown only hold credibility because its name is important in the lore, and Storm Peaks was the only good zone, which I have to admit could very well be the best zone in the game.

    2 new bosses at release with 12 rehashed bosses. Another raid in the middle of it that included 6 filler bosses that you had to do 4 times a week, and two big raids with atleast 6 filler bosses too, I'd go as far as saying only LK mattered in ICC. All of them you could fall asleep doing and wake up 3 hours later to have the raid completed for you. Only difference with heroics this time around is that we don't have pain-in-the-ass heroics like Halls of Lightning, Stone and Reflection, Pit of Saron, Forge of Souls, An'kahet and Utgarde Pinnacle, which weren't even hard, just time consuming and frustrating.

    And what do you mean with the way they dealt with LK at the end? It was probably his best moment, which is really sad. He was a big pile of unthreatening poop all through the expansion, getting his ass kicked continously. His lines were ripped straight from some 1960 Spiderman villain while his voice was that of Dr. Claw's from Inspector Gadget. They also further ruined Anub'arak and Kel'thuzad by fucking their voices up, and fucking up Anub'arak every way possible.

    I don't see how that outdoes the Horde and Alliance war, I'm sorry, but you're not really getting what Warcraft is about. It's not about taking down the big bad, it's about two factions clashing against each other, Mists gets that right waaaaay more than Wrath's very rubbish lore did.

    Also, the fact that you said you had only tried Mists on a friend's computer puts your opinion at question big time.

    It never was a sandbox game, that's games like Minecraft. WoW have never been a sandbox game, there's always been a linear path as to what you're supposed to do in the game, started with downing Ragnaros, and then they've just expanded.

    Honestly, I love this game.

    I hate all the bitching about every little tiny thing. Every little tiny bug, or slight nerf, or gating. Every dungeon they have to run, every piece of loot that is not dropping, Every rep they have to grind. Every class that can do more damage then them, Every OP pvp thing, every complaint about cross realms.
    I'm sick of hearing it and it has actually lead me to stay away from the forums because I am tired of it clogging up these boards.

    9.5/10 And Only because I have been enjoying myself in so many of the areas of the game that I have yet to experience so of the new things ( Monks, Pet battles, Challenge modes, Pandas.)

    No these are much easier. Seriously. WOTLK was easy no argument there but these are literaly normal mode dungeons in wotlk. Theirs nothing heroic about them in the slightest. They got rid of nomral modes so the "heroics" became normal dungeons.
    The hammer comes down:

    And the tiny fraction for whom heroic raids are currently well tuned? Too bad,so sad! With the arterial bleed of subs the fastest it's ever been, the vanity development that gives you guys your own content is no longer supportable.

    Story Depth: 9. I didn't read most of the quests, but of the ones that I did read I loved it, along with the cut scenes.

    Im sorry. Are you talking about quests? Because Mogushan Vaults is hard as hell right now. The healing requirements are outstanding. Nothing in Wrath normal raiding was anywhere near this level of difficulty.

    Im not saying Mogushan is the hardest raid ever released, but its nowhere NEAR a pushover.


    OT: Hands down my favorite expansion. The best work Blizzard has ever released to date in my opinion.

    A good 8 for now. Havn't yet raided and pvped. I like running dailies non-stop and then craft stuff.

    I'm very sceptical, and Not gonna hang around hoping for the grass is greener. Break time inc, and then I'll see if I can bother return within 1 month, or longer time.

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?)
    Havent done much PVP so i wont say anything about that.

    PVE difficulty in heroic 5 man dungeons is close to Wrath. Challenge modes dungeon are Cata difficulty or a little harder, getting gold in them is quite a feat.

    Initial raid is harder than Naxx, close to Ulduar in difficulty but in my opinion not as epic in environment as Ulduar was.

    Healing balance in PVE is better than initial Cata, not perfect but that would be asking for too much.

    Leveling is interesting, a little over use in cinematics for my taste, but a couple intesresting quests (including sniper type, shooting big squids from a boat, etc).

    Justice points are almost worthless right now which is a minus for me.

    I'm having fun so far, definitely far better than Cata, it can be improved as always.

    Very good expansion imo. There is tons to do and it is fun. Raid bosses are really fun and dungeons are short and sweet. Finally got time to really put effort into my pet battles today and loving it so far. The only thing I haven't done yet is challenge modes which I will try this weekend and im super stoked for them

  11. #371
    I like it so far. For some reason dailies dont feel that much of a chore as before. Heroics are almost too easy, but some of the bosses have interesting abilities. Haven't been able to raid. PvP feels like a mess, too much cc that feels like its not on dr, mages/spriests are almost broken op. The leveling while a little slow and heavy at times its nice. I liked many of the stories that the game presents you. I love the harvest moon part and while I've been able to stay away from pokemon its addicting and strangely fun.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that I really hate the lack of dungeons while lvling 4 of them is very sad.

  12. #372
    I like the new HC dungeons.

    Scenarios are just alright and I still haven't tried pet battles yet.

    Dailies for me are just torture and may make me take a little break until Blizz changes the need to do them.

    Haven't tried a raid yet unless the Sha of Anger counts?

    Questing was boring and tedious, I have no interest in the story and I never have done, I have always only been interested in end game content so I got to 90 as quick as i could. I felt it took too long.

    I lost interest in PVP back in Cata so I have only tried a teency bit, seemed alright.

    Exactly how I'm feeling. Before MoP lauch I had about half a year during which I didn't practically log in to WoW at all even though I had annual pass. Now I can't get enough of it again.

    Leveling and the enviroment all together is imo the best Blizzard has done so far. Also I'd really recommend playing to game sound/music on at least on character because the sound work is simply beatiful. It's weird but I'm probably most interested in the game world since vanilla in MoP, both TBC and WotLK felt kinda like you had been already spoilered on what was gonna happen and Cata was just all over the place. MoP lore on the other hand just feels fresh.

    I loved hitting lvl 90 and having half a dozen different factions open up, just felt like the game world didn't "stop moving" with your character being level capped. Especially since I'm currently not able to do regular raiding like I've done since vanilla. If you don't like dailies though you would probably feel differently. Anyway overall the best single thing is just that there are TONS of things to do. MoP is definitely the most content rich expansion so far.

  14. #374
    I like it. Healing always sucks the first tier of an expansion so im ignoring that. The part i really hate is having to do 35 fucking daillies a day.

    as for pvp, I havent played pvp in mists yet so I dont know.

    pve: its only been 3 days and I've only raided once in those days. I like mogushanvaults, it is nice to look at, not too much unnecessary trash, fun mechanics so far but I havent seen enough of it to make a proper judgement. I believe its a little easier in the beginning than cata was. Not very fond of that. I would have liked the normal bosses to be tougher.

    story line and questing areas are big in mists. I really like it. The dailies dont feel as dumb as in wotlk but not all that much better than cata. I think questing has reached a high standard in WoW and the balance between challenge and rewards as well as necessity and time seems fair.

    basically I just want really good raiding content, thats what I expect from mists. so far my expectations havent been met but I havent seen everything yet.

    I'd rate it a 7 out of 10 overall. can get higher or drop lower depending on how the next weeks go

    The raids are really good even if we are only able to clear normal modes so far they give quite a good challenge. The heroics are really easy and i like them because having one-shoot mechanics and being dependent on random people is a bad combo. I have only tried one or two challenge modes but they feel very hard and is like 5 man raiding

    While I do agree that even the normal modes of these dungeons are harder than the heroics, which is an atrocious thing, Wrath simply had them tuned better. The Wrath normals were VERY easy, while the heroics also were VERY easy. The normals of MoP are simply easy while the heroics are VERY easy. If you get what I mean.

    Still better than having all the raids be shit easy though.

    I just want to note that with my previous post I might have seemed very harsh and very... unaccepting of other's opinions. People are of course entitled to their own opinion, and while I might seem very offensive when exaggerating my own opinion, I do accept other's opinions. It's mostly just that you seemed to have a very opinionated and offensive tone, and I usually treat other's with the respect that they kind of show.

  19. #379
    Im only lvl 88. Still some impressions. The questing is still collect 10 bear arses. Sometimes its spiced up a bit, and a few quests actually surprised a little. But yeah...10 bear arses in disguise is still 10 bear arses. I start to hate questing again. Doing dungeons is a bit more fun, but really the challenge isnt there. You might wipe if you do a boss for the first time. After that you really have to be bad to wipe, at least in the 4 dungeons i've done. So if you started to dislike questing previously I wouldnt get my hopes up about Pandaland.

    100% Honest?

    Best content Blizzard has ever produced
    @Ghostcrawler:Some advice: [My pet issue] is why there were sub losses is one of the weaker arguments players use. Players don't have that data.
