whats wrong with wow?

[Rhianu]

For me?

The graphics.

They aren't bad, but something about the style quite literally makes me ill x.x I tried playing it and had to quit after a half hour because the graphics were making me feel .. well frankly I felt like I'd just stumbled off a teacup ride, at least in my stomach. Yeah, I don't get on well with World of Warcraft XD

Personally, I like WoW's graphics because they have that same kind of whimsical charm that was present not only in Warcraft III, but also in FFVII and FFIX on the PS1, and FFIII on the Nintendo DS. Now obviously the technology behind WoW's graphics is far superior to any of those games, but the same type of aesthetic style is there, and it's a style that I've come to love. <3

Fantasy Earth Zero also had that same cute, stylized type of graphics, but unfortunately FEZ was a terrible game. :X

Cute graphics, though.

Oh, I'm sure there are people love it to bits XD Honestly I admire WoW, in its way, for holding onto a definitive style whilst simultaneously creating a game playable on computers that pre-date its launch by several years. I just.. can't play it for those same graphics o.o I don't even dislike them, I just get ill looking at them XD

Although that said I love FFXIV's graphics and graphics style to bits. Admittedly the low-end optimisation needs a look at, but visually it has a wonderfully coherent style and feel.

.. Getting off-topic, will quiet down now. x.x

lol he never posted anything useful, maybe he had a dream that FFXI was 547 times harder.

like how he had a dream about open world pvp server

I could never get past the cartoony polygon graphics. pass.

i experienced FFXI for 6 years and WoW for 2 years.

i can tell with a clear head WoW is harder than FFXI.
Yes CoP is hard but its not an instances or events, its 1time fight thing, you cant consider that as a content.

dont even starts with AV and PW, nobody was able to kill that til they use wall of justice on AV.. or until SE toned it down and people KC it down (there is no real strat here), then SE buffed it again and it become unkilledable again.

PW was plain stupid, SE had to toned it down because media attacked them for being unhealthy for gamers because of the 18hours straight fight.

this isnt 'hard' its cruel.


Vrtra is probably one of the most challenging for me before KC zerg become popular.

*all of this was during 75cap, i quit before they raised cap*

So one-time content isn't content now? Now, that's a funny statement mate. You seem to think that only encounters you can farm are "content".

So I guess most of the quests that wow (and other MMOs) features aren't "content" as well? Since you can do them only once?

On the other hand Guildleves are "content" because you can do them over and over?

Now, ain't this awesome? SE gave us a game so full of "content"!

[Chardrizard]

Sure, if you say it's a content.. i doubt half of people would do CoP if it didnt have Sea Access as reward.. the rewards that sea offers is what drives people to go through CoP.

and are you going to ignore whatever i wrote ?

also, the only content that is good and very dynamic was Salvage.
but, allas isnt instances very WoW-like? isnt abyssea pretty much spoonfeeding? i never did abyssea, but i have heard words on how you can go 75-90 in like 10hours? godamn that is on the same level on WoW-level-pace if not faster lol.

Majority loves spoodfeeding and easy ride, that is a fact.

Actually COP has a great story, and that's an awesome reward in itself. I couldn't care less of the rewards. Quite a lot of people loved FFXI for it's stories.

Ahem, you might want to be made aware of the fact that Blizzard didn't invent instances. Actually FFXI used instances before WoW was even released. DAOC introduced instances pretty much at the same time.

i would read a book if i want great story, there are alot of games out there with a very great storylines, but no one really reads them because most just dont care about the story and spam enters, for myself, i play games to enjoy the gameplay and nice story is just a plus.

exactly!! yays!! omg, now please educate half of the user here.. because aggro icons, instances, and jumping doesnt make you WoW-clone..

edit: also "!" mark for quests!

Amen brother, WoW clone is a pretty rediculous argument. Thinking like that, how would ANY new games ever come out, since there has already been one that was an FPS, RPG, platform, ect??!?
