Random Complaint Thread

Your first point is wrong, well not totally wrong as it depends on the people. With WoW how it is now, yes it would shatter guilds. But back when server transfers werent up every other week and everyone knew content was difficult it actually brought some guilds together. It weeded out people that couldn't hold their own and let you know who was willing to bring potions and such to a fight.

I'll admit, those fights were overboard on consumables/buffs though. I would hate to see that happen. Maybe it's just the whole state of WoW now that irks me. There is hardly a community to speak of. People can be total assholes to everyone, ninja items and just vanish from your server the next day and rename themselves and continue on.

And you are right, it is all business in the end, but it makes me bitter as fuck lol

Also people back then could not have stable fucking lives and continue to progress. You required 40 people with no life to sit and learn shit.

Shut up with your god damn bickering and GO PLAY ANOTHER GAME

Thank you, was just about to say this. I'm not a worse player because I cannot and will not devote 20+ hours a week to wiping to fucking Vael.

Vaelastrasz the Raid Destroyer says hi.

Time Lapse says hi.

Twin Emps would too, if more than an average of 1 guild per server even got to them.


Dual modes is the way to go.

Don't want to farm easy content just so you can go back again and do it later?

Don't.

Go straight to heroic, arena and do other games and shit while normal modes are all there are. If you can't get through enough of heroic ICC in 258 gear to get geared up inside, then you can't do it in 264 gear, either.

So get good at the game. Plain and simple. Did you cry when you couldn't beat Ruby or Emerald Weapon in FF7 or some other boss in another game. No, you got better at the game.

Ruby and Emerald weapon were extra, optional bosses in the game. You could complete the entire game just fine without ever encountering them.

That'd just be like making a new OS3D for t10 content that only a handful of guilds could do.

Oh and single player games are entirely different from MMO's.

And Emerald weapon wasn't really difficult at all.

[Resin]

My favorite way of fighting Emerald was to have tons of mastered counterattack materia on each person. One laser attack that hit everyone resulted in 30-ish counters; it was awesome.

Wait, what? Oh right, bitching about shit being too easy for the casual player. I didn't play vanilla wow so I can't speak from experience, but it does seem like a good thing all around that players that aren't full of cutting-edge gear can do the same encounters as the upper end guilds. Maybe they need to offer better rewards for hard modes...will that stop the bitching? Probably not.

My random complaint about WoW atm....

lvling 40-60 is so boring. I hope that Cataclysm helps make the grind before Outlands much less boring. Alt-itus makes it worse when you got 3 toons all stuck between 40 and 42 and all their crafts capped at 300.

That is all.

*bloop* A critical update to Curse Client is available, please install it!

"Well, if it's important..." *click*

Installing....

Thank god I still have the old version of the client.

[Onorgul]

I don't get it. Then again, I manually install all my addons.

[Correction]

Apps that 'update' themselves, only to add shitty features like interface skinning (none of which look like windows buttons and menus) need to burn, and their programmers need to burn. What's worse is that the useful part of the app, namely the addon listing showing you which ones are out of date, has been cut in half visually, thanks to their brilliant idea of having two lines of text in every row. So yay where I could previously review thirteen addons, I can now see six.

Nothing about the update was critical. It was just a way to promote their crappy 4.0 revision.

Leveling from 10-58 is pretty boring to be honest. I'm hoping they redo every single quest and make them like WOTLK.

It's been entirely rewritten to optimize performance, speed, and usability.

I would say optimized performance and speed is fairly important.

Amen. Nothing like going through a long quest chain on my rogue and end up having to pick between a blue shield or wand. Plus they need to get away from the back and forth questlines in the 50s. Its one of those things I hate where the quest is "Go to Un'goro and do this" then followed by sending you to Hinterlands then Winterspring and so on and so on. Just to get a piece of gear that isnt worth anything to your job.

At least with BC onward, quest rewards were more streamlined toward class roles rather than one or two pieces that maybe 10% of the jobs can put to use.

I also wonder if they revise the vanilla WoW quests in Catacylsm if the "older" quests done by players will go toward the Loremaster achievements....

Oh yeah, you're right. It's tons of fun to farm the same boss over and over again, to get geared so that you can...farm a harder version of THE SAME BOSS OVER AND OVER AGAIN...to get the SAME GEAR with a +1 sticker on it.




Why not just make 1 Anub and make him halfway between both in terms of difficulty? How many people smashed through ToC25man and got bored as shit with it? It creates burn out, people dont like fighting the same thing over and over again.

No, I got Knights of the Round, or, I leveled my materia to the point where I could use some of more enjoyable chains, like Final Attack >> Phoenix.

That's a terrible analogy because FFVII is a broken game that is easily exploitable, as fun as it was. It's also a terrible analogy because the key to success in offline RPGs is often simply grinding in the woods until you out-level your opponent.

If you make 1 Anub and make him halfway, then he's too hard for some, and too easy for others, and everyone complains ANYWAY. Why not have two? One for the "casuals" and one for the "l337" and everyone gets their cake and the only ones who complain are those like you that would complain even -IF- your version was instituted.

Some people will just always complain. Period. That same guy that is complaining about being bored because he facerolled ToC would complain if the difficulty was ampted up because then he wouldn't be -able- to get his precious epix from a fight that was too hard.

Maybe it's just that my radeon hd 4870x2 and 4 gigs of ram on xp sp3 aren't enough, but performance isn't better. Just resizing the window causes unbelievable amounts of graphical tearing and happens at maybe 8 fps. I've had my say about the 'usability' upgrades. Hands down, going from 3 -> 4 was a massive downgrade in speed, performance and usability.

Mine's fine. And i've also noticed an upgrade in update/scanning speed but maybe that's just me!

Oh and why do you need to see 13 addons? Any addons that require updating are displayed at the top of the list..

Pally raid buff on pet hitting every warriors and or hunters. It's freaking annoying.

Pets get buffs with specific classes, they should not be getting their own buffs, just clear that tab in PallyPower.

I believe it works:
Hunter pets = warriors
Death Knight pets = rogues
Warlock pets = warlock

Unless you're in a 10-man where you don't have a warrior or rogue just leave the pet tab clear.

[Siniroth]

Depends on lock pet if anything, my Felhunter doesn't get my buffs, nor does my Doomguard

Eh? My Felhunter gets Kings if I get Kings casted on me, same with wisdom. Did you mean Felguard?

And if that's the case, I'd expect it to work:

Imp/Felhunter = Warlock
Succubus = Rogue?
Felguard = Warrior
Voidwalker = warrior

I never thought about turning it off, I guess I will do that.I still wish pet would be listed with other job



another rant. Fucking achievement, it was so close

Aargh aargh aargh.

I queued for normal ToC to try to get Black Heart. It took ages for a healer to actually pop up and stay (why are you queuing for normal at 4000+ GS unless you want something there?). We slowly whittled our way through the instance and, lo and behold, Black Heart drops. Then the Death Knight and Druid rolled Need against me.

At this point, I should pause and point out that as a Protection Warrior, I was doing 40% of the party's damage. I almost wanted to ask the Holy Paladin to start DPSing just to speed things along because I wasn't taking much damage and the only hard part was Paletress because it took a good 5 minutes to kill her pet.

The Druid wins and realizes, "Shit, I should give this to the guy who deserves it," which he does. I thank him, leave the instance, and I don't have it. I have the confirmation message in my log, but no item. Fuck fuck fuck. So I've got a GM ticket open that won't be answered until sometime on fucking Thursday.
