    It's alright. Levelling was really boring this time around and the rep grinds are beginning to...erm.....grind.
    Dungeons are ok so long as you get a decent group without ninjapulling trolls.
    Scenarios seem totally pointless to me.

    I'll give it a 7/10

    Terrible idea, I like how when out questing and buying from vender's you can see more people. This was an excellent change from blizzard, getting people out of the cities

    This. I totally agree, CRZ and this makes the world more alive. I've been farming UP for a while, one day afk'ing outside I actually saw other people - love it!

    OT, I love MoP, all the small details, everything. I don't agree on the new reputation changes though, it's cool your alts get double rep when your main is revered or more, but a main getting double rep from revered to exalted is a joke, imo

    MoP is a 10/10 for me!

    i think this plus chen stormstout = best expansion of all time

    Yea well, before CRZ people whined because nobody were in old zones and there was no world pvp. Now people whine that there's people in the old zones and there's world pvp.

    Strange world we're living in.

    In terms of first couple of weeks after expansions I am really enjoying it. Much better then cata and wrath in terms of things to do and why to do it. Farming rep, having to get all gear from HCs rather then part justice. Trying to get world boss kills on a busy server every couple of hours and get my cooking up.
    Its a littler over whelming really. Especially for a casual raider its tough to keep up. Haven't even touched pet battles or PVP yet.
    Have done some challenge modes and those are awesome. Real test of skill rather then gear. Lets see how our first raid feels.
    Highly recommend, hopefully blizzard keep it up as this could be my favorite expansion.

    Oh words cannot describe how good this expansion set it. If you liked the feeling of mystery and wonder from previous expansions you will love this. Others have already stated why it's great so I will not repeat them but overall so far this blows TBC out of the water (not raided yet so don't go all crazy that I said that)

    I just don't know what to play. No matter which of my 85s I want to level in pandaria, I just get piss bored by the time I reach 87.

  13. #313
    I would give it a 9 so far. Love the rep system. I have not been able to raid yet as i have been chain running heroics, but the gear is just not dropping. So i will judge that once i get it going.

  14. #314
    I hated Cataclysm. It remains a pile of garbage and I think Blizzard should have given you MoP for free if you bought it. That said, since GW2 also sucks, I decided to give MoP a shot. Well, gotta say, MoP is pretty sweet. I'm diggin my class changes, enjoyed leveling (no flying till 90 was definitely the RIGHT call), now that I'm 90 I literally have too much to do and I love it. I can't get it all done which just makes me want to log back in and keep playing. It's actually an awful lot of fun.

    Ok I'll be honest. It was a good start, but now the shine is wearing off. Leveling seemed to drag on forever (especially 88-90). I hate the daily grind for reputation (seriously, I hate daily quests with a passion). The dungeons are pathetically easy outside of perhaps the last few trash packs in Shado-pan Monastery which can be brutal, but even those have started to wear thin to the point where it's now just "Damn it I want this over fast and hope my piece drops". The scenery, however, is gorgeous and I absolutely love it. I can't speak to raiding yet as my group isn't ready yet but I hear that it's pretty tough and the difficulty was jacked up quite a bit from Beta. I don't PVP at all.

    At this point, the raid will make or break it for me. If I'm enjoying it, I'll stay. If not, then I'm done. I don't find grinding out rep to be fun. I don't find relying on RNG to be fun. I don't find having to run 30+ dailies a day, some of which can take a long time with everyone else doing them, to be fun. MoP has more content, yes, but IMHO it's not FUN or interesting content.

    PVP Balance - Don't know, haven't done PvP since BC (on accont of the rest of BC being a boring simple snorefest) despite being on a PvP realm.

    PVE Balance - Leveling - As a warrior, I enjoyed questing up until half way through 89, then it got really disjointed, buggy and a bit of a grind.
    Heroics - Far far far too easy, bring back the Cataclysm 5 mans pre-nerf. I find it hilarious that people whinged for "Dungeons to be harder, like BC" so they made them harder and everyone whinged that "Dungeons are unrealisticly hard and need a nerf". GG to the BC nostalgia crew still not understanding the difference between 'dificult content' / 'high skill ceiling' and 'stupid timesink before simple fights'.
    Raiding - Not done a lot of it at the moment, we went nto MV blind and killed the first boss in 4 pulls with a new raid team. But I'll give it a chance and not speak on difficulty or lack thereof untill I've done HC's. However, the mechanics of the boss were entertaining for me.
    Dailies - Bad bad bad bad bad mechanic. Can not stress this enough. I should not have to spend weeks and weeks farming mats for stuff thats not my food/gold/dailies/motes to trade in and scrounge together iron paw tokens to get enough top level buff food ingredients to make myself enough for one raid day. Its an artificial speedbump that needs patching out. The rest of the Rep grind I couldn't give two hoots about. Grinding rep for top level recipies is far better than hoping for a random drop TBH.
    PVE Difficulty compared to WOTLK Difficulty - I think this is a bit too vague of a question to answer, see the replies from Choptimus. Are you talking wrath release? ICC? HC's? Nax?
    Story Depth (With 1 being boring and 10 being interesting, and gripping) (Does the PVE content relate to, and bolster the story line?) - I love the story stuff. Do the Lorewalkers rep to Exalted and actually listen/watch the stories, very entertaining and give you a feel for the expansion.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Pros
    Amazing Artwork
    Beautiful Environments
    Interesting Lore
    Pet Battles!!!!
    Challenge Modes
    New Content


    Cons
    Buff Food Restrictions
    5 Mans Far Too Easy (Bring back pre-nerf cata heroics)
    Forced Rep Grinds (To a certain extent, ie 'you cant grind rep with x faction until you have with y faction)


    Overall - I'm enjoying the expansion but its by no means perfect and some things NEED to be patched ASAP (Buff food mats requiring Iron Paw tokens for example).

    The levelling progress was much more fun than any previous expansions, the lore was also a lot better.

    The PvE content is rather rubbish thus far though, the heroics are Wrath difficulty, exactly the same, which makes it boring and one big zerging AoE party. The normal versions of the 4 dungeons that have them are harder than the heroics, which is where it shows as a design flaw. Haven't tried Mogu'shan Vaults because I have a hard time going into heroics because I hate them.

    Levelling and lore would go for a 9 thus far.

    Dungeons would be a 3, simply because they aren't as annoying as the Wrath ones, no Halls of Lightning, Stone or Reflection is a big plus.

    It does have a lot more to do than in previous expansions, so that does rank it up.

    So that would be a 7/10 right now. My ratings thus far would be:

    Vanilla: 9/10 (Amazing for its time, and still very good today imo)
    TBC: 7/10 (Had its up and downs)
    Wrath: 3/10 (Only Ulduar and the LK fight keeps it from minimum score)
    Cata: 5/10 (9/10, if not 10/10 at release. Went downhill really fast sadly)
    MoP: 7/10 (I hope that it can hold steady, or maybe even get better with time)

    I hope that this expansion gets a lot better once I get raiding and all the release raids have opened, fights like Sha of Fear and Shek'zeer sounds amazing. I'm hoping they're not too easy though.

    best thus far for me atleast, the biggest shock was the number of dailies available each day, as someone who did rarely spend 2 hours doing dailies in cata it was a shock to spend something like 4-5 hours on dailies( i am not exaggerating, might be the disorganized way i do the quests so i end up flying all over the continent ) in terms of ratings

    pvp: N/A since i don't pvp
    pve: seems fairly balanced for 5 mans atleast can't say much in regards to raids since the only bosses i've done is Sha of anger, Galleon and Feng the Accursed but from my experience with those three it seems fairly well balanced so it will be a 8/10 mainly due to my inexperience in Mogu'shan vaults.
    PvE difficulty: i'd say 8-9/10 the dungeons aren't as facerollable as the Wotlk ones from my experiences but they aren't quite as hard the Cata ones before nerfs as for the raiding i found on Feng the accursed atleast that there is a small margin for errors ( fx. people not moving from lightning fist or standing in fire which can lead to mana issues for the healers in the last phase) let alone how fast arcane resonance can fuck you over during 3rd phase.

    the story i give a 10/10 because for me the story have been the most gripping for any expansion thus far.

    overall a solid 9/10

    Sorry do you mean dungeons or raids?. The dungeons are more faceroll than the wrath ones. Literally. I literally defeat bosses by placing my face on the keyboard and tanking the shit out of them.

    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.

    PVP is just stupid atm. healing is dominated by restodruids, and dps is dominated by warlocks/DK's. Best setup we have yet to run in our RBG team is 2 frost DK's, 2 frost mages, 2 destro warlocks, 2 paladin healers, 1 restodruid and 1 warrior FC. And we could most likely improve that by getting a DK FC and switch one of the paladins for a monk/another restodruid.
