.Fun.
Disneyworld is fun. However, I think if you went every weekend, you would lose a lot of the magic. Many MMOs are the same for me. Fun, but if you play a lot, you can lose the magic. Sometimes, bringing someone new along awakens the magic once again. I have been experiencing this in World of Warcraft lately, with my wife playing an MMO for the very first time. I can see the fun and magic all over again. I also experienced it in The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.
Last weekend was a whole bundle of fun events and I’d like to share some them.
Me & My 10 Foot Pole
[World of Warcraft] The latest patch notes via WoW’s Test Realm have Priests, Druids, and Paladins crying foul, although as of last night some of the nastier changes for Priests at least had been undone. That said, there’s any number of other places on the web you can debate the pros and cons of the patch, so I’ll skip that and instead focus on a different issue I used to bring up with developers I interacted with: communication of said nerfs.
It’s all about tone. Remember Office Space and the TPS reports bit? There you go.
Too Many Characters
I decided to create a character to play along with Kwip in World of Warcraft when this happened:
Some sort of bug I guess. Bah.
Growth via Cut-n-Paste
[World of Warcraft] For the first time in a long time I lost my cool on WoW last night. Of course, I had rough day at work, was fighting a migraine, and this was just the famous final straw, but I’ve gotten angry at the situation before. It has to do with the fact so many of BC’s quests are direct copies of each other for each side. This ends up causing annoying situations like where I spawned a mob for my quest (this was the annoying trampoline quest in Nagrand, which took almost 30 minutes for me to land in the nest), only to have a squad of nearby Ally druids snag it. Since they could fly up, they got the quest item without agroing the bird, then took mine, laughed, and flew off. I ended up swearing and turning off my computer. Yes, there’s an element of jerk-osity there of course, but even in the best of situations you can’t help but get in the way of someone else doing the same quest without any way to help.
BC turns 1 (month)
[World of Warcraft] Here we are, 759 long hours later, in the land of the alien lizard guys and stuck up elves. Where the quests are paved with gold, and the average orc abandoned in the middle of nowhere has loot in his quest cache that would make Nefarian cry.
It’s been an exciting, and fast month. The exp flows, the gold flows, the place looks amazing, really amazing, and on the whole the masses are quite happy with what Blizzard has done with the place. While the launch had a few issues, this may be (feel free to correct me) the only time we had a major launch and still had product on the shelves to cover the need while the servers remained mostly alive to players. As I’ve already written in some detail already about BC, I’d like to turn the floor over to you, our faithful reader. What about BC would you like to see some writing about? Sans high level raiding, I think I have tendrils in with enough people to get some sort of a story. The suggestion box is open.
Hunter Update
[World of Warcraft] Since I last left you, our blood elf hunter duo has reached level 21. On the way there, we have had several really fun moments. It’s amazing how much more I am enjoying this game with my wife at my side.
When we were night elf hunters, my wife tamed a ghost saber as a pet when she was level 20. There are these little cat figurines in Darkshore and we kept picking them up. Eventually, a see-thru cat spawned and attacked us. We wondered if we could tame it so we spent another hour trying to get one to spawn. Eventually we did get one trained. Not long after, it dropped dead and we didn’t know what to do. She tried to rez him and it worked. Guess it is some kind of bug, but anyway I digress.
Paying to Beta
[World of Warcraft] A thread I’ve been following elsewhere references a theme I’ve heard before: the release of unfinished content in an expansion has become acceptable. The poster states that there are several unfinished aspects in WoW’s expansion, The Burning Crusade, and declares that the solution to this problem is that the developers should have made it harder to level so that they had time to fix it, after release.
How has this become modus operandi?
Hard Core Brother: The Interview
My brother (known as Grimx in WoW) plays MMOs a lot. He is the one that got me into them, introducing me to Asheron’s Call way back when. He recently became the first player on the Doomhammer server to reach level 70, accomplishing the feat in just a few days. It is a play style I don’t understand, with motivations I personally can’t figure out. I decided to ask him some questions and the end result is this interview. I hope it is of some interest.
WoW Item Creator
Stolen from AFKGamer, the WoW Item Creator is a fun little toy.
Found this one…seems appropriate, no?
