Achievements / titles? Curiousity in seeing how far you can go compared to other players (wowprogress rankings for endless proving grounds makes this easy)?

Do you only do things in this game if there is some loot incentive? Actually, if they added rewards to proving grounds, it would be cool... like a mount for beating wave 40 or something. kek

I found endless fun the first couple times, but it literally takes like 30-40 minutes to back to my high score point where things become difficult... endless should ramp up way faster IMO or begin at the equivalent of level 20 or so. Shouldn't be a test of patience.

125 percent? What a hokey graph, like taht graph that went all the way up to 30%

I love how some people are treating Wildstar, some even pretending they didn't fix anything.
Optimization: Much better now. I have personally seen 30 frame increases
End game Grind: Like all mmos it is still grindy, but so much less now, took me 2 days to do the updated attunement, and there is just a ton of content now, with more on the way.
PvP: Balance is fixed for the most part, they seem to be changing it to a hybrid Gw2/WoW pvp system
Raids: No more 40 mans because they are dumb, new boss in a box raid coming in the next update, THAT USES THE ULDUAR DIFFICULTY SYSTEM!'


Just going to say this because most of you play WoW so you would understand more.
6.1: Twitter integration
A few daily quest
QoL and reasons to repeat old content.
1.3 (drop 5): Daily Zone (with varrying dailies to keep em fresh, really fun on PTR)
1 boss ulduar style raid
1 new adventure
new 5-20 man event.
PvP rallying (like what WoD does)
Contracts, altering missions that can actually buy raid gear eventually. Reasons to go out in the worl
Halo-Wardrobe
Companion Pets.

That will probably be more than 6.2 as well not counting raid content.

One stat I've always been curious about: Out of all of the players who won a battle in both Temple of Kotmogu and Silvershard Mines, how many have won each exactly once?

That could be a pretty interesting one.

Thats me.
But dont get me wrong, I didnt complain and throw a fit over needing to do some PvP for the MoP legendary. It's not my thing, but it wasnt hard to get the wins and I think it was great that the legendary quest made you participate in all aspects of the game.

I think a comparable game is FFXI (two years older than WoW and was built up first as an MMO on PS2 in Japan first before having PC release later).

They recently implemented the ability to equip 2 linkshells. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...507#post538507

From January 2015

We checked to see if allowing the secondary linkshell message to appear would be possible, but it seems we will not be able to address this.

FFXI was created with the concept that only one linkshell would be able to be equipped. With the January version update, while it appears that you are able to equip two linkshells, internally you are still actually only equipping a single linkshell.

As for a suggestion made on the Japanese side of the forums, to make it so you can switch the controls between LS1 and LS2, we determined that this would take a lot more resources to overcome hurdles that are higher and more complex than making it possible to check the LS message.

In order to check the LS message or make it so it’s possible to use the same features as LS1 with LS2, we would have to dig deep into the core of the FFXI system and totally revamp it so multiple linkshells could actually be equipped. However, this is essentially the amount of work required to totally build a new chat system from the ground up, so it’s not a realistic option at this point.

March 2015 Update.

Linkshell messages from both primary and secondary linkshells are now displayed upon logging in.

A text command to display sublinkshell messages has been added.
/linkshell2mes, /ls2mes
Allows the player to view their current sublinkshell group’s welcome message.
* Players must set a linkshell to be their primary one in order to edit these messages.

Welp, that was fast.

Also this. Even FFXI beats WoW's vanity system.

/lockstyle functionality has been changed.
A category for locking/unlocking character equipment appearance has been added to the Misc. 3 section of the Config submenu.
Style Lock
This category has the same effect as the /lockstyle commands.
Selecting “Static” will lock the character’s appearance.
The conditions for a character’s appearance to be automatically unlocked have been changed to the following
When changing jobs.
New functions have been added to the /lockstyle text command.
A Style Lock category has been added to the Edit Equipment Set section of the Macros submenu
Players may lock in their equipment appearance by registering an equipment set, selecting it, and then choosing Style Lock.
Method for Fixing Appearance
Players may select which equipment set they would like to have displayed by using the /lockstyleset command together with the number of a registered equipment set.
/lockstyleset [equipment set number]
Sets your character’s appearance to be that of the designated equipment set. Not designating a number will display the currently equipped items. This command may also be used while appearance is currently locked.

Ex. “/lockstyleset 1” will fix the character’s appearance at that of the equipment designated in equipment set 1.
* This command may only be executed once every ten seconds in order to reduce server load.
Method for unlocking equipment apperance
Appearance may be unlocked by turning off the option from the config menu or using the /lockstyle command once more.
Read on for information about equipment sets.
The conditions for which equipment may be used with the style lock functionality have been changed.
If these conditions are fulfilled, players are able to display even equipment that is not usable by their current job. The new conditions for /lockstyle are as follows.
The player must be in possession of the piece.
The player must fulfill the conditions to equip the piece on at least one job they have acquired.
For weapons, the weapon type for main and sub weapons must be the same as those currently equipped.

In FFXI, you can have 100 gear sets (you can also mix and match). You can swap appearance to 1 of those gear sets at any time.

FFXI dev team is the best.

What is Blizzard doing exactly to justify their "large" development team on WoW? Four months since the expansion launched and all we've seen is a raid that was delayed from launch rolled out prior to 6.1, Twitter integration and a couple toys. Not to mention this expansion at launch is the thinnest of all expansions in terms of max level content. Yet this is supposed to be the most expensive expansion today.

Truly WoD is the greatest expansion ever!

We know you just like to whine, troll.

do not exactly bother with this game until it either does something really drastic, or changes its payment model.

to see how 2 out of 4 MEGAservers look youtube "Wildstar the game is alive you say?"

Yeah, due to old and foolish one way transfers between PvP servers to PvE, the two PvP servers are suffering. While the two PvE ones are noticeably better off. Which...now that I think about it, was an important factoid/bit of context that you intentionally left out. In you mentioning your video. Hmm...seems like a little bit disingenuousness on your part.

Stop the hardcore humbug!

Despite the comforting and pervasive meme by the worst of players (who used an obvious tongue-in-cheek joke as a crutch), the game hasn't really been that "Hardk0re". And the more grindy of elements, they've kinda reduced over the past two patches. Especially with attunment and Amp/Skill point obtainment. Seems like the game IS catering towards casuals more.

It's really a L2P issue. I did Silver on my Warlock months ago in quest and pvp gear (WAY below 651), I had to respec from Affliction to demo but I finished it after a couple tries.

Good god, then just delete your lock. I got almost all the way through GOLD the VERY FIRST TIME I went in on my lock, I was at like ilevel 580 or so, fresh ding'd 100. Bronze and Silver were cakewalks, and I've never done PGs before, I've never watched videos of them, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The dude would tell me what each new mob did, and I would kill them, simple as that. I did it as Destro, btw. I'd imagine I could've gotten through Gold easily if my ilevel had been higher.

My DK will be my next 100, I guess I'll see how hard they are for him. But my lock had absolutely no problems at all getting Silver done, and my lock is about my 10th out of 12th most used class...I only leveled him first because he's the GM of my guild. I also took over a year off from WoW and only came back at the start of March.

Wow, its difficult to imagine how out of touch with life the guy who called Bashiok a "flex mode hero" must be. Some people actually imagine Blizzard employees must be the best players rather than being any good at their jobs..... don't think I have much more to say <3

only if they have loot: No

i only do things that have a benefit for me that i consider worth my time. be it loot/gold/title/ whatever
achievements alone are IMO not worth it
