Good WOW thread on the main Forum

holy shit, ya'll are mean...

[Naginataka]

he defends EQ2 more than he does his kid

Why would I? He can say whatever he wants. If you get truly upset about anything posted online you need some perspective.

For example, Taxx is the one who has gotten so upset that someone questioned his holy grail that he has sent me 13 ranting profane PMs in the last 2 days.

Someone got his little feelings hurt.

They will fit in with the battlenet crew.

[Tacks]

haha, nah, it was fun

[Naginataka]

Well if thats true I guess we were just replying and laughing at the imagined rage of the other person. I thought yours was more genuine since janet told me what an unrepentant fanboy you are.

[Tacks]

As I said, if anything, she is worse than I am. In closing, go to the WoW boards and look up my name...see if I have any fanboy type posts, then go to the official EQ2 boards and see if you have any fanboy type posts.

[Langston]

For fuck's sake... shut the fuck up already or change your name to Naginnashutup.

People have responded to you maturely.

People have responded to you heatedly.

People have told you to chill out.

People have told you to flat out fuck off and go back to sucking dick.

None of it works because you're caught up in some self-absorbed cycle of emotional masturbation thinking you've become the greatest free-thinker since Freud while you actually swing from a tree limb cramming a banana down your throat with one hand and picking your asshole for "flavor bits" with the other. If you had half a clue as to how simplistic and stupid you've been sounding, you would pack up your clothes and an extra toothbrush and crawl back into your mother's vagina in an effort to unmake yourself. However, as I'm sure we'll all be witness to in a few moments, instead you're going to break your arm attempting to pat yourself on the back for vomiting more mental detritus on these boards. In some pathetic attempt to force a signal between your plaque-encrusted synapses you will respond to this post, as well, trying to defend your position while finding yourself staring downwards into Sony's one-eyed snake trying to find love in its sweet embrace. Do the world a favor, grab that aforementioned toothbrush and go back to wherever you came from. Oh, and slap your parents for us. I mean, really, what the fuck were they thinking...

Aside from the first line, this was good.

I especially liked the flavor bits portion of the post.

I was thinking it was the best flame I've read for a while.

Jis baby does not look retarded. She is quite cute actually. I have seen pictures.

Here's someone on the high level game. Old Afterlife player, who didn't follow the guild to WOW:

Well, I never got a beta invite from the rest of AL to WoW, so I got into EQ2. If I can offer you any advice from my 6 years of playing this shit, EQ2 is a perfect example of SoE and everything we hated about them from day 1. I can not believe they did not learn their lesson from late EQ and SWG. It is amazing how they can continue to do the same shit. Ship date is the 8th, and today they completely changed the mecanics of the game, breaking much, much more than they fixed. Now, If this was a month ago, I would still hold fast, but this close to ship?

Also, all of the talk about not having one true tank/healer/dps was shit. I am here to tell you that there is a HUGE difference between a guardian (me) and any other tanking class. Pally included. This is in the last half of lvls and above, of course. After lvl 25, 2 clerics, 2 guardians, and a chanter and a scout class is GOD. Anything else is sub-par.

Try to have a group of a Monk, Bruiser and one cleric and any other DPS and see what happens after lvl 30. Huge difference.

If one thing bugs me more than anything else is, not only did their claim to be able to solo fucked, but you can't even have a pick up group. Let's say I am the best warrior in the game (which I humbly say that I am, of course) and I have with me the best scout class and cleric in the game. We could add one mediocre person to that group and be completely fucked. If you can't understand why, trust me. HO, their version of a combat wheel chain, can be make or break you in latel lvls. If one person doesn't know when to press 1, shift1 or cntrl1, I die. And if I die...holy hell!

Imagine a Yelinak raid where you only had one tank....

[Harrison]

He just sounds like the typical whiny bitch of AL *shrug*

[Jangos]

taxx i did almost everything at the proper level in wow due to level caps. it was extremely rewarding. people who want that big thrill of accomplishment will get that in wow. the arch fight for the first time was classic. we had no spoilers no idea, the doors to the main room slowly opened and we seee like 100 statues(it was less but the first time you see it it looks like more) now since throughout the entire dungeon those statue people were a theme you see that massive bunch of inanimate soldiers and think "oh shit this is gonna be tough"

you just cant get the single group excitment you get in wow, in any other game.

instance design is pure joy to experience the first time.

[Tikker]

I have to agree with Jangos on that one


The 1st time i did Van Cleef i was like OMFG this game rawks

Same thing 1st time I got into Shadowfang keep, or even Wailing Caverns to a lesser degree

sure there's somethings I don't particularly care for in WoW, but overall, it's been a super pleasant experience


and to top it off
a bunch of people I thought were really cool EQ folks, and played EQ the way I always *felt* it needed/should be played are designing the content

being guilded with Tigole, Ariel, Daelomin, I have a pretty good idea of the neat/nasty stuff we're likely to see down the road

Knowing that Thatia/Thorax is one of the artists I'm pretty confident that that we'll have more than 5 bad guy models per expansion

[The Kizzy]

I would like the old Nameless designers of WoW (did that make sense) to come here and make a comment. I would like to hear what they have to say *glares at Tigole*

[DangerPaul]

why should he? so he can be attacked by SOE fanbois? Tigole and the other devs owe no one anything, they made the game they want, its not up to them to have to defend it

[chanteez]

i doubt they have time to browse bunch of boards answering everyones questions... they already do that in world of warcraft boards, and select ones. Not to mention their normal workload, trying to get game to where they want it for release, taking suggestions, fixing bugs etc etc

[The Kizzy]

I didn't ask him to defend anything. I would like to see his excitement and what he expects for the game. He played on our server, and knows many of us here on these boards. I'm just very excited and would love to hear his take on it. Don't be such a prude and take the cock out of your ass. Thanks.

[Tikker]

Well

All I can really say is that Ariel and Tigole and Daelo come across as very excited about what they're doing, and they really come across as excited for the players to experience the zones/events they're creating

If you ever got to talk to tigole about something like Ringwar, or AoW or any other EQ encounter that he really enjoyed, take that passion and triple it and you'll have an idea of how excited they all are about what's coming for retail

[vonkaar]

My favorite talk with Tigole was a meeting between SoS, LoS and Euph in nwing ToV.

I was trying to negotiate a... well... a cease-fire... with SoS. SoS and Euph were trying to CoH past all that bullshit and LoS just wanted to clear their way to the Aaryonar spot. The normal 'civil' leaders of SoS weren't around, so I had to deal with Zed. He was basically ignoring us and it was clear that he planned to do the typical, sit here until Euph pulls... wipes out due to suckage or lag (pick your excuse) and then we kill him. Just as Euph was ready to do that, LoS arrives and we are all pretty fucked on lag. Tigole and I were talking throughout the drama but it got a little quiet at the end. Suddenly, he tells me, "now watch me make Zeddi my bitch."

1 minute later, SoS ports out without a word.

very ccc and lol at the same time.

[Lyion]

Was I still around for that, Vonk? Senility is setting in.

It was always interesting talking with Tig about spawns and races. Especially the early Trak races.

While he was the nicest guy in the world as the Milkman of Rivervale, he could be a pretty ruthless nasty fucker when it came to spawn racing later. He always seemed to keep his sense of humor, though.

It wouldn't surprise me if he surfed here now and then. I'd be amazed if he ever posted, due to the reasons above.

The WOW forums are surfed pretty heavily by Blizzard folk. One can post there, and it will most likely be seen.

[The Kizzy]

I'm not talking developer to player, I am talkking player to player, Lyion. I don't want the whole Blizzard community to see what he posts. Kind of like for our eyes only, although if they ever came to these boards I am sure they would be able to read.

[Lyion]

tigole@blizzard.com

Won't hurt to try

[The Kizzy]

sigh, you are a dick Lyion

[Lyion]

Wasn't meant to be nasty. I'm pretty sure Tig still talks to many on this board, Kiz.

I'm sorry you took it that way.
