Couldn't agree more. I'll be playing GW2 all day long (made preparations, hah) EXCEPT for AT dailies and reset solo on WoW each day for mounts, then on the 28th I'll be in WoW and GW2 combined depending on what feels more fun at that time. When MoP hits I will have had a month of GW2, and I'll go to MoP ready to explore and have FUN!
...should I repent? D:
Also I find it pathetic how people seem to get a virtual boner from seeing that Blizzard does something on the same day as another gaming company..."Omgosh it means they're afraid of this new game that hasn't even been proven a success yet"...kinda like Starship troopers, "IT'S AFRAID!!"...-_-. People.
Releasing this the same day at G2w is a clear sign Blizzard is concerned with GW2 taking a bite out of them.
Ha ha, called it! Blizz just proved they are intimidated by GW2 and have done the cowardly thing of releasing the patch on it's release day to try and steal it's thunder, without having to worry about the their thunder being stolen for the release of MoP.
Personally, I'll be playing GW2 early release, then check out 5.0 on its release if the servers stay up. No conflict here...
To all WoW fans,
You guys should pray for GW2 to be good.
Without competition Blizzard will continue releasing content patches every 10 months or so...
Look at it another way, for those who will play in both games, it's just a great chance to "start"
Ah yeah, the adding of a gamechanging new feature, account-wide achievements. Adding a full-scale world-event. Adding aoe-looting (which is quite a big change in the code). Adding battletag support. Adding a completely new talent system. Adding a new specialization to druids. Changing how the spell-learning system works. Rehauling resilience/pvp power. Removing spellpen. Changing the way enchanting works. Adding a rehauled glyph system. Adding several new UI components. Adding itemfiltering to vendors. Full filling of the dungeon journal. Adding a completely new help system for new players. Rehauling the relic system. Etc. Etc.
All in one patch, but ofcourse it is a small, minor patch -.- Some people...
Each with his o2n but isn't Blizz launching the prepatch 4 days after GW2? Does that show fear,in my opinion it doesn't you must have a bit of time to test everything that is added in the 5.04 prepatch before MoP hits, and this gives you 3 weeks and some spare change so I don't think this pre patch launch is solely to counter GW 2 but to also give us some time to adjust a bit to everything,at least that's my take on things.
Havnt been on the beta, so really looking forward to the new talent system coming out
