Just had to add this:

It is actually possible to die during the Undercity event. On the boss in de torturing area I somehow pulled aggro by dpsing, and he oneshotted me... so I had to corpserun. Didn't fail the event though, I guess it was ok for me to die.

That'll be all

the saddest part about trolls is that they won't "Becoming back" to read the followups.

while i wish you had bothered to read further, to realize that the whole point of the forsaken is to kill off everyone excluding themselves (the orcs & trolls, and 'fellow' horde included), we're punished for having it come halfway to fruition. I know the whole lore behind

I stopped reading after you questioned why you're undead self is asked to stop the undead plague. Sylvanas is your fucking leader first of all. Second varimathras and the fag plague brewer betrayed sylvanas. When you helped them make that poison in the low levels you didn't know it was behind sylvanas back I guess but it was. They betrayed the forsaken to kill off everyone and everything, thats

I have to disagree with you on this. This phasing is a really nice way to immerse yourself further in the storyline. It seems like a lot of your complaint is that the reward (xp and loot) wasn't worth the time invested.

This was their first implementation of it, and they did a fine job. I'm looking forward to seeing how much further blizzard can take this concept. What they could do

I have to agree with ya on a lot of your points Ixobelle. Phasing is shallow attempt at atmosphere and the "You can actually affect the game world" mechanic that I think many MMORPG players have been wanting. Really though it just highlights that your playing a mindless grinding game.

It's a shame considering the Warcraft RTS series had a solid storyline. What I would give for a MMO

Phasing suxx and I agree the changes should go for the whole world... Sometimes I wonder when you have to complete quests which have the terms "erradicate" and "exterminate some poor mob soul" why the hell do I see them spawning endlessly... but whatever.

2008-12-05T12:14:03.744-08:00

Yes and WAR did not "steal" a single concept from WoW and other MMO`s, right?

Also, the game was created by (EA) Mythic. Games Workshop only contributed as far as the setting is concerned.

Anyway, I personally like phasing. It has it`s downsides, but at least it allows you the feeling that you are actually affecting the world around you. I do not know about Wrathgate (I have not

2008-12-05T06:26:20.004-08:00

So....if this is the big "innovation" in WOTLK, I am really dissapointed. Most of the other "new" ideas are more stealing of games workshop ideas, and the one thing that is "innovative" seems like it is pretty lame.

2008-12-03T01:39:20.929-08:00

You have some good points, phasing is lame when it stops you from helping a mate. But its still the only way to have some change in the game. It was cool to see something going on in the capital cities for a change, and something to actually happen when you do quests, as opposed to burning barns and the same barns being fine anyway.

2008-12-03T00:24:19.750-08:00

I'm half and half on this one. On the one hand, I was also disappointed by the cinematic, since I avoided all spoilers for it and didn't expect the kinda lame looking machinima thing. Was hoping for something as impressive as the proper cinematics. The whole slow march through UC in god mode also got a bit tedious.

However it was a real story with a real reason for being there. This

2008-12-02T17:03:51.708-08:00

I would agree that Wrath Gate is dumb. At no point is it interesting on any other level than the story they're trying to tell there, and given World of Warcraft's track record they should probably just assume that nobody really thinks text bubble orc exposition is all that interesting.

Phasing as a whole however made leveling very enjoyable to me. World of Warcraft has moved further and

godstorm: hehe, the "ixo" thing is actually relatively new. i wrote as (and had my first toon named) isobelle for a long time. isobelle.blogspot.com was already taken (go there, it's totally blank, gg), as was isobelle.com. after making a bunch of alts (izobelle, issobelle, isxobelle, ixobelle), i made my rogue my main (ixobelle), and that name is never taken, anywhere, so there ya go.

2008-12-02T10:39:21.365-08:00

I like phasing. I think it's the most elegant solution they could come up with for the problem: "I want the player to be able to see him/herself change the world, but I can't have 11 million people all changing the world." As long as they keep using it sparingly, it's good.

But it does have some major, infuriating cons. The most important quest hub at 80, Dun Niffelheim (rep with the

Sorry man but you are way out of line here. You consistantly argue for more realism in your MMOs whether it be in trade skills or quest progression. So lets examine the flip side of the argument you are making:

Orc leader X wants you to torch Barn Y. In non-phased events you would walk up to an already burning barn that has been torched

It's hard enough to not label it all a giant timesink in which we could all be learning other languages or rocket science, but to waste time only for me to see... damn that's lame.

Now about wow. Honestly I've never played such a poorly thought out game. I haven't purchased WoTLK and I'm holding off until Darkfall comes out. my wow subscription went down after Kara and i don't think it will be coming back up.

I still enjoy reading the changes they've made though your point of
