That screenshot looks like the new and exciting Stranglezar Basin.

I can get behind that picture of the Lost Isles. I really can't wait to get a Goblin through there. Looks awesome.

And some tool said how the graphics leave much to be desired for 2010. You have to bear in mind the world is much larger than most games you will play. Do you have any idea how much lag there would be if they increased the graphics too much? Or how long loading screens would take? Of course not, you probably live on CoD.

Final Fantasy 14 says hello!

The screen shot looks fairly nice. I say fairly because the game really badly needs a bloom/lighting update. The lighting seems almost more outdated than even most Wii games. Galaxy 2 has some real impressive lighting.

Funnily enough, I always considered lighting to be one of the few strengths of the Wii graphics engine Enough so to the point where they, when used properly, masked the jaggies in most Wii games. It made the graphics look a lot better than they otherwise would have. (Though, the only games I've really seen do this are Nintendo-published games.)

At any rate, I like the screenshot. It's not necessarily exciting in an obvious sense, but it really has me looking forward to the explorative atmosphere of the zone.

healing isnt such a bore if the content is challenging.

I lol'd at this last bit.


ENHANCEMENT DUAL WIELDING FFS

Hunters, DKs get it for free...

I'm almost certain they did this to prevent Elemental and Resto shaman from dual-wielding caster weapons, but is there a reason why making all caster weapons Mainhand-only wouldn't be the smarter option?

Erm "reactive healing = false healing" ? I couldn't disagree more.

Theyare trying to make cata fun for healers again - 'predictive healing' is anything but fun. Going into a fight knowing I only have two concentrate on certain peopple carrying certain responsibilities on a fight is dull.

I love when raid raid members suddenly get smashed for tons of health makes me have to be on my toes and react quick therefore making the encounter more fun.

Comments like this simply don't make sense - are you a drood spamming hots who is scared you willhave to do some proper work for once?

Looking at bars go down and then reacting as quickly as possible to get them up is not a very smart gameplay either. Always hotting same people knowing that is exactly what is going to happens isn't either.

Knowing something bad is going to happen to a certain area, or knowing take is going to take a few big hits in the next amount of time so you organize your mana and healing burst for that exact time while reacting at other stuff is nice and challenging healing.

All caster weapons ARE mainhand-only.

The graphics and detail are 5 years behind other MMO games. Incompetent game developers at BLIZZARD.
