Anybody here play MMORPGs?

[Angantyr]

Well well well look we have here.

As for classes being OP, I do 2v2 arena on my Warlock with a Resto Shaman and we get completely destroyed by Warrior + Druid as theres just no way to counter such an OP combo. Resto Druids are nearly impossible to kill 1v1 and that is undeniable no too ways about it. Warriors are only OP if they have a healer, generally 1v1 I don't have too much trouble. Rogues are indeed a nightmare 1v1, and believe me everybody is sick of them but I guess thats kind of to be considered from me as Rogues counter Warlocks extremely hard just as we counter Mages like no other. But Paladins OP? Lol, once they pop their bubble they're useless, all you need to do is mana burn like no other and they're even easier than Mages.

Also leveling a Druid right now, I wouldn't normally level as alliance though I didn't want to be a moo moo cow (nothing against Tauren, I love em xD) so I rolled a pretty but pompous Night Elf. Level 35 right now in STV on an RP server, things are going much smoother though maybe not as fast as my Warlock (Warlocks are one of the quickest classes to level and excellent for farming) and should be in Outland in no time. Plan to go resto end game and raid.

What bothers me is WoW is becoming to casual friendly, some of the changes are great for people who are leveling alts and such but it makes trying to raid such a pain. Because they removed the attunement on TK/SSC all the terribads are jumping into them and half of them don't even know how to play their class. You'd think Karazhan would teach them a thing or two about where to stand BUT NOOO THEY STILL INSIST ON STANDING IN THE FIRE! All the good guilds are in MH/BT and moving into Sunwell so my only option is to be stuck with these losers or try find a guild who'll accept somebody who skipped it.

Haven't touched FFXI, I really want to but I don't want to be forced into grouping, I mean doing instances on WoW is fun but I like being able to level by myself if I want to burn through a few levels.

Those were fun but had similar "problems" with people and mechanics. So I would say that no MMORPG is "perfect" but not much in life truly is.

No, no game is ever gonna be perfect, but there have been some that come close. WoW is about as close to the perfect MMORPG for me as there is. Everyone's got their own ideas about what comes close to perfect for them.

You're also destro Soul Link/Siphon Life locks can drain tank a warrior all day long, esepcially in 3s and 5s when they have more targets to spam Siphon Life on. But of course, that's based on gear as well.

I played FFXI off and on for years and I really can't stand it. Everything in the game is too much of a timesink for what feels like very little gain.

As far as raiding with idiots goes - that's more or less shame on your guild for inviting them to the raids. I've left many guilds for trying to carry idiots through raids because they're too nice to tell them they need to learn to play before wasting our time.


And from playing Alliance from launch day up until January I can say they pretty much just suck. Granted Horde are out numbered, that just means there's less of a chance to run into idiots, and the majority of the horde are better players and better mannered than a majority of the Alliance. My queues on AV on Vengenace are instant, 5-8 minutes for the other 3, but we are currently losing AV nearly every game, about 70% WSG (90% today) and 60-70% for AB and EOTS.

Currently PvE specced going for some badges and my title.

SL/SL with a healer eats double DPS for breakfeast even if they got 2 Rogues however if we run into another combo with a healer we can end up with matches that go over an hour especially with Warrior+Druid, just not killable and mostly ends up on pure luck though more often than not they end up winning when my pet dies.

I stopped doing BG's once I got all my Vindicators pieces, I loved doing it in the beginning but the hopeless grind of idiots who dunno how to stack more than 10k HP is nauseating. We just lost all the time, but that was mostly due to being outnumbered constantly especially in EotS.

[Sean]

For me as Alliance on Vindication (Laughing Skull and Aggramar were both here) Alliance lost like it was their job in everything except AV, AV was 50% loss with an abnormally long queue.

For me as Horde on Vengeance right nowww I'm sitting at over 80% win on every BG on my druid, my priest's stats are much lower, but I'm playing my druid at much different times than I played my priest. Since my druid hit 70 in just a few days I've gotten all the marks I need for half the merc set as well as the belt, bracers, and boots. Working on finishing 32 more EOTS marks for Salvation/Reprieve then speccing pvp resto to be imba again. =D

Also, my priest has 3S1 1S2 1S3 and the S3 bracers, S1 Salvation and Reprieve and only has 10K HP w/ Fort. <.<; Breaking 10K when you aren't a lock or warrior is hard without getting the entire honor set, as those two classes get an over abundance of stamina for no real reason, since they're practically unstoppable.

Stacking Stamina is our primary defense, our current status against Melee is abysmal, PvE geared Rogues (Aka T6 Warglaives) can kill us in 10-20 seconds even if we have 500 Resil and 14k HP, even if we manage to get a DoT off they can simply use CloS and reset the fight completely. Warriors however is nothing more than a DPS race, they can not be CC, none of our abilities can really shut them down. Even with Soul Link its getting to the point that Warlocks are just a free HK to Melee. Sure we do very well against Pallies and Mages but in arena nearly every fight we come up against has either a Rogue, Warrior or Druid.

Currently sitting at 1500 cause we had a change that didn't work but we were at 1550 before and would have made it to 1600 by now most likely. Gotta try get back to 1550 so I can grab my s4 pants.

i bought final fantasy XI a few years back, but i could never get the dam thing to work, some problem with the my playonline account or something.

[dimmufan]

The only MMO I play is WoW. I have a 70 Tauren Hunter on the Ysondre realm. I also have a 30 Orc Warrior on the Thaurisan realm, 11 Human (not proud of it) Warrior on the Ravenholdt server, a 11 Orc Warrior on one of the Latin American servers, and numerous twink alts on Ysondre.

I would like to try out FF11 and AoC, but I think it might take away from my WoW time, and I hardly have time for that anymore.

[Megacan]

I'm currently playing Metin2, Its a free online RPG. I don't have money to spend on online games.

I get my kicks playing offline rpg and some online shooters

[Valkyrie]

I'm currently playing shaiya, also a free one

that is untill my computer decided it couldn't handle it, got freezed frame everytime I started it so removed it and planning on reinstalling it again

it's actually pretty nice, graphic design is good, lost of quests in the beginning but I was only lvl 10, friends of mine are further and they say it gets better

negative about it is that you've only got the main story, once you enter the game, the story doesn't really continue

[Vincent_Valentine91]

i am a world of warcraft fanatic as well but i play Flyff, DOMO, Shaiyla, and a couple others as well =]

[Quistis]

Currently playing WoW actually but I played Guild Wars and Age of Conan as well.

I got a 70 Warlock on Thrall right now (Horde)
39 Twink at Scilla and a 60 something priest (Horde)

And I bunch of lowbies scattered across servers. I got a second account with my Draenei Hunter with epic gear (ZA/Kara and some 25 mans) at Dethecus. I cancelled that account but if someone is willing to buy it. just let me know Didnt like a huntard for PvP because I suck at kiting. =( PvE they're really fun.

For Guild Wars, I think I got like 5 level 20s and 2 of them finished the Factions storyline. I kinda got bored when Nightfall came. Got too lazy leveling up the hero NPCs

For AoC, I got a level 80 PoM in Dagoth
