    This is a WoW thread...yeah it's your board so you can troll if you want I guess.

    Played Rift. It was boring to look at. The character animation sucked. The spell animations sucked. The FX animation sucked. Wanna talk about it in a WoW thread I don't see why I shouldn't respond with how clunky it is.

    My little paly stayed lvl80 through most of the expansion to date but I threw a couple heirlooms his way to help make it through the push to 85 late Saturday night and have about three hours played with him now http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...udobone/simple

    ...at a similar ilvl I was surprised that even his first Tol Barad I was able to make a contribution, considering the high level of gear I knew I'd be facing. I just had to remember to not be on "point" but quick to help the group, quick with stun on a healer or ready to steal a killing blow.

    The way things are though, we're both just a few upgrades away from being able to use the RaidFinder and LFR (Looking For Raid) which wasn't around when you played last. Casuals like us can get respectable ilvl without much fuss anymore, faster than ever. They get knocked by the hardcores all the time for this but Blizz compresses the necessary effort to get your gear current the deeper you get into each expansion.

    For example, the crafted blue PvP pieces that I'm wearing, the Vicious set, back in Sept. of last year was ilvl351 I think, or not quite Troll-Heroics level but the recipe got updated so now these same pieces are ilvl377 and run a few hundred to a thousand gold apiece, depending on your local realm economy. You only need an average ilvl of 365, if I'm not mistaken, to run Firelands and not much more than this to enter Dragon Soul at its LFR level.

    Have fun!

    Burnet I know this is the WoW thread, but you should really give Rift another try. If you have a good computer, Rift looks beautiful. Plus I know you like to say "LOL @ RIFT", but the game is barely a year old and it is already one of the greatest MMO's to ever be released. I have been through MANY MMO's, so I know when I found something special. The fun starts after lvl 50

    Once again, I know this is the WoW thread, but just throwing in my two cents.

    Hmmm, I wasn't gonna read this but have to say well said and reasonable, without a hint of trolling.

    I actually have played it, though not up to 50, at my buddy's place on an amazing big-dog computer talking to one of those giant Apple Cinema Displays. He's the same guy that convinced me to try WoW way back when. This was after he'd turned me into a Battlefield/Desert-Combat fiend, which was after convincing me to give Quake3-Arena (and Rocket Arena) a go, when I thought I just couldn't get into FPS and only wanted to play fighting games on my Segas. He's sorta been my video game bad influence, and even got me leveling a toon in Eve up to being able to fly battle cruisers before abandoning the account pretty much to let him do what he wanted with it.

    I gave Rift a shot because it was the latest thing he was into, but I didn't really like it. I'm way to particular on animation and design and the fluidity of mechanics. He was heavy into EQ2 back when I'd stay up all night hopping Urban Terror pub servers, so the playstyle feels okay to him but it all just bothers me too much and I feel too disconnected from the toon. Same thing when he got me to try Aion. It's like anytime I tried to play any of the PS fighters after spending so much time with the Sega fighters.

    On top of that, I play on Mac and, last I checked, they didn't have a Rift client. If they did I'd at least have it loaded to run around with my buddy, because he only logs into his WoW account about once every six months and hasn't actually done any serious leveling since the first couple days of Wrath when we both rolled Death Knights.

    In its current form, at least, it's just not for me and believe me, I haven't just been a WoW-forever, not gonna look at anything else guy. I was initially interested in Warhammer, until I saw gameplay. Same for Age of Conan. I was really excited when I saw the early videos for Webzen's Soul of the Ultimate Nation, which is a beautiful game, though the combat reminds me more of Soul Caliber than what I expect from an MMO (and I don't think it's out here). I was also excited to read about their scifi MMOFPS Huxley, which I guess eventually made it here as a free-to-play, but PC only.

    edit: long story short, I'm not gonna go out of my way to change anyone's mind about Rift, because they should play what they dig and enjoy what they enjoy without folks messing with them, as far as I'm concerned. I just react to provocation, though I'm trying to stay more civil about it these days.

    And now I'm back to the good 'ol World of Warcraft. How I have missed thee! (At least for a few days... until I'm bored again!) Now it's time to look for a new server I'll be transfering to. Oh how exciting.

    You might consider transferring to a PvP server. That makes even farming ore/herbs/leather/etc. that much more engaging sometimes, depending on the server balance and progression. Much as I'd like to recommend Skullcrusher, it's got a lot of apathy these days and most of the notorious Horde PvPers swapped to Alliance, though you'd hardly notice.

    Darkspear seems to be the opposite, with Alliance dominating, largely thanks to the largest collection of Rank 1 gladiators in a single guild on that side and a ton of fanbois following after the likes of Swifty and Athene. I've considered moving over one of my alts just to experience the lulz first hand but just haven't gotten around to it. That battle group seems to be the single best bet for running into someone "famous" running BGs for US servers.



    ...been ages since an event like this happened on my realm

    edit: if you're not familiar with Swifty, he's currently the most famous (not the best) warrior in WoW. He's got a lot of fanbois and a lot of haters, but he's supposedly a really nice guy in game and IRL. I give mad props to anyone that can work it so he gets paid to play games.

    Anyway, the live action portions of his videos are often of him doing some kind of sport. He always advocates players go out and be fit to balance their time at the keyboard.

    ...the other night there was a (now rare) "For the Horde" raid traveling to all of the Alliance capital cities. Stormwind and Orgrimar are about the only populated cities on most servers anymore (until MoP at least) so I knew they'd be back once word spread that they were moving on to other cities. About an hour later they start showing back up and I saw the enemy raid gathering atop one of the central keep's towers so I hopped on my Elemental Shaman to see if I could have a little fun with his Thunderstorm spell, blowing them off.

    I ended up only killing two players but my move had the effect of starting their advance for them and we promptly wiped them for a second time

    If you're not familiar with this it's an achievement run that usually takes a raid of 20-40+ people to complete, depending on the time, server population, gear level, etc. Each capital city in the game has a "leader" NPC of "boss" level, meaning three levels above the current level cap, tons of health and often surrounded by other elite NPCs that will defend them, more or less, though ideally it's up to players to form defense parties and/or raids in order to prevent this

    Once your toon gets credit for participating in a kill on every leader of the opposing faction you get a free mount delivered to your mailbox, in this case an armored black bear.

    ...pretty badass warrior with a new vid coming. The Braveheart schtick is a bit tired but the popular ideas it still conjures is still sorta appropriate.
