World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

[arjue]

All you guys take this shit too seriously. Fags like that ruin the game.

My god, when did Opaque turn into such a massive faggot.

He's pretty much always been like this when it comes to online games. Of course with WoW it's not like Halo, because in Halo he really was an ridiculously accomplished.

In WoW he still has no idea how nerfed the game he's playing really is, and how uninteresting it's really become to people who've played it since the beginning. It's been explained to him multiple times already the reason he's being singled out is the fact the he has the nerve to come in here and talk to people who've played this game for 3+ years or more, tell them what's up and why what what he's doing is better than what they are doing. We get he enjoys endgame.

We get that he takes endgame seriously, a lot more seriously than most of us do right now. But he's missing the joke most of us are making that there is no endgame left to take seriously anymore. A pug can complete moderate endgame now. That it's a joke and (unfortunately) his accomplishments will always be diminished in light of how hard the game used to be, is something he cannot seem to grasp.

I will say this. there's a lot of misinterpreted sarcasm in the posts from both sides of this shit that has really snowballed this into a bigger confusing mess than it should be.

By this logic I wasn't good at Halo 2 because I didn't play the original.

Just because I missed out on Vanilla WoW doesn't mean I don't take this content for what it is and also doesn't mean what I'm capable of wouldn't have been exactly the same back then.

[youandwhosearmy]

Actually that's exactly what it means.

Raiding doesn't work even REMOTELY the same way as it did back then.

First of all, you wouldn't have been a shadow priest. Nothing but a raid group with slots to spare would allow you to roll that way and come on a raid. If you rolled a priest, you rolled a healer. End of discussion.

Second of all, you would have taken it this seriously, and by doing that, you would have failed. New raiding content and individual bosses back then could at times take months to master. Some guilds blew through some bosses, but everyone had a boss that raped them and no matter how you changed their strats, you still might not find a way deal with it with your current make up as a guild.

Sorry man. It's not even close to the same. No one is saying you aren't doing fantastic now, but to even begin to compare what you do know with how the game used to be shows how ignorant of the game you actually are.

The Halo 2 analogy is apples/oranges man. A completely silly comparison. WoW is the same game, having gone through changes. Halo 2 is a sequel and a completely different game than the original.

Either way, Lighten up. The game was a lot harder back then, but it was also a lot less immediately satisfying and fun. Especially as a guild master. Take my word for it. Your expectations and perfectionism would have been your undoing in vanilla WoW. You couldn't lead raids you like you do in the current game, because success was never guaranteed by effort. You could try all you wanted and never get a boss down.

3 drake Sarth costs guilds a couple of weeks of trying out strats till they find the one that fits, and eventually it will.
Nefarian and C'thunn ended entire guilds because some groups of people simply couldn't grasp the fights.

This is what I don't get though: why do you assume it would have broken me, of all people?

Friends of mine, who still take it much more serious than I do, got the world first AQ20 but were completely torn apart by AQ40 over the following months, but they still play. Yeah the guild was destroyed, but they didn't quit the game.

Odds are I would have been in the exact same guild at that time, which means I would have moved servers when they did and thus had the same problems there and ended up here with Curtis anyway.

The only difference I see is I would have had some T3, I would have had full T6 when it still counted and I might have a different character (but come on, if I can top DPS as a Spriest I'm sure I would have done fine as a Mage or Warlock). Other than that I'd still be in the same place.

Are Spriests still broken?

[Opaque]

Not even a little.

Come 3.1 we will probably be (mathmatically and only if the current build and themes stay true) capable of the most dps of any class on both single target and aoe (if your Spriests aren't absolutely destroying everyone in aoe, even without realizing that they can have a DK spread their DP, they should be very ashamed of themselves). The only reason I can see for this is that most Shadow players have no idea at all how to play the class. The only, and I stress only, spriest on my server that can hang within 1k dps of me is one that I taught to play the way I do; so if you assume that blizzard is looking at the average dps they do, it's no wonder I'm getting a buff.

I never said you wouldn't be playing or would quit.

I said you have no idea what hard is in this game. That's all.

In 3 years you'll be on your way out of the game, wishing to never play again, and some nub will come up to you and talk about how much more hardcore he is than you, and you'll laugh him off the way we laugh you and your achievements off now. Then you'll understand.

Your server must bite flacid dick.

Your second half sounds like they'll be broken to me.
