Vanilla had a lot of farming as well in the end game to get the reputation needed to get some epics. Same with PVP, I got up to rank 12 before the xrealm thing started, the difference being then you needed a good team of 10-15 people that know what you are doing. And i feel for pvp at least skill was much more needed than gear. Later with TBC most of the epics got substitued with greens / blues from the first dungeons / 10 man raids.

Absolutely. I remember having worked so hard with our guild to get our first MC clear, guild-only, and the time we spent on getting those sets, and the first hunter piece I replaced with a green.... Running the raids, I remember Scholo being a 10-man heheh, I guess I was more upset that the challenges of the early end-game got replaced by so much farming... If I understand correctly, there's not even talent trees any more? I guess I just didn't understand why so much that was working, and obviously bringing in the money, had to change... *sigh* old people don't do well with change heheh

They wanted more subscribers, and in order to fend off other MMO's, they had to streamline and cater to the more casual style of play, which all the other MMO's had in their favour. WotLK was their best plateau of player subs, and as soon as Cata hit (note that cata had an extremely rushed raid), all the new-player friendly stuff came in.

Dungeon queues were a head in the right direction, but Raid Finder and things of similar ilk, such as everyone getting epics thrown at them left right and center, everyone farming the same two reputation with factions to get "that particular best in slot enchant". Basically everyone was doing the same challenges as everyone else. There was no real personable development, you were just doing the shame stuff as everyone else.

That's why Warlords has improved so much, because of the personal development with garrisons etc, and most players choose different directions to go in, instead of min-maxing everything.

As Blizzard said in a recent interview, most Blizzard game players will find the quickest, most efficient, and most of the time the most boring possible way to achieve something. The issue is players don't play to have fun anymore, they play to collect and own bigger numbers than everyone else. I prefer BC private servers nowadays, but don't get the time to play.

I loved the big raids and pvp with the ranking system. I hated the arena Plus didn't feel like paying blizzard 10 euros a month + 20-30 euros for every expansion. I mean what's the latest? pandas? come on

Warlords of Draenor. There's, like, uh.. a time machine and, uh, you go back to an earlier version of outlands or something. It's alright content-wise. A bit buggy though.

If I understand correctly, there's not even talent trees any more? I guess I just didn't understand why so much that was working, and obviously bringing in the money, had to change... *sigh* old people don't do well with change heheh

Talent trees are still there, technically, just they don't have as big of an impact as they used to. Blizzard didn't want people to feel there was only one or two types of build to use. They wanted players to feel that they could spec their character however they liked without being punished with lower DPS. There are still "mandatory" talents, but it's not the end of the world if you don't pick them. Typically, talents are situational.

I actually liked Cata and I agree about the improvements in Warlords. I think Blizzard has taken the fun out of a lot of a healthy number of things to do . Just seems like everything is oversimplified and drawn out to get more play time in. Achievements are no longer difficult or require you to adjust your strategy (example [Maybe He'll Get Dizzy..]), they're just time consuming.

Really liking Dying Light, but I also liked Dead Island a lot. Fun game that has elements taken from so many other games it is a cool mashup.

few months away that is at the very least.

I am so burned out on this season of Diablo already. I will play 2.2 when it comes out and see whats up. I played PTR to see the new Wiz sets and they looking cool.

Went up to Para 500 on S1, and since S2 had very few changes except on some classes (DH and Monk mainly) I rolled a monk and played for the first week.

That was pretty much it for me.

1 month combined league are coming to PoE in 2 weeks tho, def playing that one.

 

[Ahhzz]

I need to get back in PoE, but been spending so much time in Defiance.....

I'm at the final boss battle on Metroid Prime 3. From the last save to the end takes about 30mins. Almost finished last night but died just before the Aurora Unit 313.

Been playing dragon Ball xenoverse and got all the ultimates and 3 sets of dragonballs and got to level 80 so that's rewarding.

And I have my base I'm building in planet explorers in adventure mode. Finally beat the alien spaceship with my boat.

Also been playing dota 2 with @Maban and lots of funsies.

Also I might finally beat the game factorio been so frustrated making the base so efficiently organized.

Choice of robots is a awesome text based game on steam.

Been thinking on if black flag that's on sale atm is good or not but the user score was conflicting anyone recommend it?

Toked down the Abyssal High Dragon. It was medium difficulty. Most of my party for some reason has fire resistant gear.

At first for this Dragon it was Cole ,Varric , Cassandra and me. I had 2 fights without success .Some may say 2 rogues are not a good party combo. It may be true,while doing random quests 2 rogues in a party is an OP mix, with dragons things are not the same. Also Abyssal Dragon had easily anticipating moves. It's important to learn the pattern so you can counter attack at the right moment with the right skill.

The Kaltenzahn in Emprise du Lion region was hard,up until the point were i got the right party. Tried different combinations,it was almost but not quite there. Managed to take 70% of HP before all of the HP pots ran out. I had Vivienne do some "rift damage",Blackwall serious dps and tanking my character just giving barrier every minute and i played active on Cassandra. I learn this the hard way .It was impossible for me to take down the Vinsomer in Storm Coast region until i tocked control of Cassandra and did the proper tanking myself. The game AI does not tank right. You have to do it yourself. Vinsomer was very easy with electric gear resistance and good tanking.

I trying 2 fights with Highland Ravager in Emprise du Lion.Got killed ,even with all my fire gear . A lvl 23 strong dragon,i am yet to conquer him.

I managed to trigger some new cutscenes with Leliana. I did a side quest for here, something about The Divine Justinia V . Also new cutscene with Ironbull he need me to oversee him say farewell to his companions. Yes...i chose to let the Chargers to die. Had to...

I don't understand. What do you mean first playthrough ? I only have one playthrough,after witch i am deleting the game. Once i finish it,there is no more point.

 

[Jaffakeik]

thats what i mean 1st playthrough and deleted it aswell. I never said I did any 2nd attemts
Because how else u gonna call 1st playthrough? I think its called 1st playthrough

 

[Cvrk]

You did not like the game ?

 

[scevism]

Playing COD Advance Warfare. And Grid Autosport + Titanfall

 

[RejZoR]

Still playing Bulletstorm. Why oh why they had to fuck up the weapons. A game with name "Bulletstorm" and you get weapons with max loadout of 20 grenades or 25 bullets, so you have to interact with damn drop pods all the freaking time. And this is from people who made fantastic Painkiller...

The environments are just breathtaking and doing combos is kinda fun, but it just doesn't push me to keep on playing because of the weapons...

 

[Cvrk]

Still playing Bulletstorm.

One of the most fun games i have ever played! I don't think it could go on my top 10,cuz there other's with better story line etc...However Bullestorm is unique. Why ? Because it's a shooter. Foe me only Modern Warfare 1-3 kept me interested. Always wanted to see were Captain price and Soap will end up next.
In Bulletstorm the story ,yet a very short one, keeps you going. Wanna find out how it's all gonna play out next. And there is never ever a dull moment. The witty dialog is great. There vulgar but in a good "mercenary/ soldiers-ish" kind of way. When the game finished all i wanted was to play the sequel. Would love to find out more,i mean they get stranded in space in that space pod. Just Trishka & Grayson Hunt. And that Trishka,one of the best female characters i've ever encountered in gaming.
Problem is most game reviewing websites had given the game a bad or mediocre score. That does not help the publishers want to go ahead and create Bullestrom 2.

EDIT: I am reinstalling the game!
