[Metrics, Serious Raiding, SWTOR Has None]

Actually....no. A decent Frost mage, having DPS problems in "look, it's trash mobs BLIZZZZZARD!" raids? LOLNOPE.

 

 

 

Pssh. More like "If you don't rank X or higher on the DPS list, /wave bye-bye" is what I was seeing. It wasn't even a case of minimum DPS in what I was seeing...and I wasn't one of those bads. (Though after Wrath, life got interesting if you wanted to stay frost-specced.)

 

 

 

If it's that easy, why worry about "carrying" people or even that the content is so easy?

 

Besides, my personal favorite example of meter-derping was a simple (early on) Obsidian Sanctum run. Know I'm doing well, raining down Blizzards on the adds which are getting pulled right to the main mob, I'm going to have a nice solid Recount of....dead last. ***? No drops for me, cause I'm apparently bad.

 

Finding out later that it was the guy running the raid who'd have his buddies do a Recount hacking to up their DPS (and hence guarantee themselves loot, since that's how they divvied the drops- best got first choice, etc...) was...enlightening. Yep, you could script false data entries via macros into Recount and voila, suddenly your DPS (or HPS) shot up faster than you could say "new tier of gear". Look it up sometime.

 

Yeah, I was carrying the "baddies" alrighty. Never ran with them again, group apparently got name changes and transferred off the server with plenty of ill-gotten gains, including a few that should have been mine by fair play.

 

You learn where the real baddies are in a guild when you hit a wall and start rotating new people in to see how things go. Meters just let you superoptimize past human recognition of differences, and that superoptimization in turn means that the devs build difficulty to match it...at which point, we're in cookie-cutter land and everyone plays the One Build and the One True (insert Tank/DPS/Healer) Classes Or Else.

 

Been there. Smelled that. It stinks.

 

You are so full of **** it's ridiculous.

[New planet Denova?!?! for 1.2]

OP should take a look at stuff in WoW's game files that have been there since 2004 and have never been implemented.

 

BUT IT WAS DATAMINED IT'S TRUE BRO!

[Why can't I marry...]

Why can't I marry Blizz this is destroying my sense of RP...

 

If you want to have sex with midgets, go back to WoW bro!

[The thought that WoW has more endgame content]

This game sucks though.

 

/thread

[WoW verses SW:TOR in my opinion.]

I find it extremely hard to believe that a computer incapable of running Ironforge above 1 FPS could run TOR at all.

[Anyone else growing tired?]

In B4 "get a life, go back to WoW, don't rush to 50, story based MMO BRO!"

[Why i think SWTOR is a big FAIL]

The game sucks, I agree.

[That must sting a little.]

Perhaps by having watched friends doing dungeons, having read reviews and watched sum youtube gameplay.. I've seen enough to know it isn't a game i would enjoy.

 

Don't misunderstand, This clipping funny! Not something i necessarily consider a flaw.

 

 

 

 

 

This reminds me of another screenie i made just yesterday.

It's funny that you think that, because TOR is a worse version of WoW. It's the exact same game.

[Bye SWOTR]

Again,

 

 

don't care.

 

Clearly you do or you wouldn't have posted in this thread not once, but twice.

[Is this game really in trouble?]

This game is complete garbage. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know what a good game actually is.

 

Blah blah blah opinions. I'm sure there is some idiot out there who thinks McDonald's is fine dining too, that doesn't mean he's right.

[Outlaws Den has great potential, but.........]

I don't think you know what "potential" means.

[Everyone looks the same at level 50..]

Go back to WoW BREH! This game doesn't need players to do well, it's Bioware.

[execute and opportune attack typo?]

Maybe its the people who think its a bad game are pretending? Funny how opinions work.

 

My opinion is always the correct one, deal with it.

[That must sting a little.]

Dude, this is a story based MMO. If you don't want ridiculous clipping go back to WoW bro.

[The Jedi Knight in this game are wussies.]

The amount of people that post 'i was in beta' is starting to make me suspicious.

 

Beta was closed, save for the open beta weekends they did right before launch.

 

And I am guilty as well as many others of not posting bug reports, etc because I was playing.

 

 

Why are you lying about being in the beta bro?

[execute and opportune attack typo?]

You should post this in the class specific forum.

 

 

Yes, quickly get it off the general forums so people can go back to pretending TOR is a good game!

[Why didn't they just include a crap ton of playable races?]

Because cyborgs are a cool "species"!

 

DERP

[what is the need for enrage?]

The original reason MMO bosses were given enrage timers was to prevent healer stacking to trivialize the content.

 

i.e. a 16 man boss without an enrage timer with 1 tank, 12 healers, and 3 DPS would take a long time to kill but nobody would ever die and the fight would be a joke.

[MMO creation 101]

I wonder what the fanboys will say when this game completely dies.

 

Something like "WoW kills another MMO" or "entitlement" I'm guessing.

[1.1.5 - death of rarity and achievements?!]

Buying things has nothing to do with redistribution. Where did you go to school?

 

Shh. "Entitlement" is a meme. Stupid people add that word into their arguments on a regular basis because they think it makes their points valid.

[Say what you want, BW really is trying]

Ahhh, did you get beat up in PvP?

 

It's funny how you said this instead of trying to defend this terrible game. I wonder why that is? I'm guessing it has something to do with you having no legitimate counter point.

[2/22/2012 -> Can we get an update on where the Combat Log is?]

If you call WoW difficult, you don't know difficult. They dumbed WotLK wayyyy down then amped it up a fair bit for Cata. Everyone got used to facerolling everything and then got thrown for a loop. The first month or two for cata was fun for me, I went back to my grinding like I did in in classic and easily outdamaged people with far better gear than I had.

 

Then I quit due to boredom with raiding and instancing.

 

I assume you killed Algalon before the ToGC patch? Yogg 0? Tribute to immortality? HLK before 30% buff?

 

Didn't think so.

 

Everyone who claims WoW was/is too easy was a normal mode raider.

[Say what you want, BW really is trying]

Whatever they are "trying" to do, it's too little too late.

 

The only people who don't realize this are the delusional fanboys who buy into propaganda like "fastest growing MMO of all time" (derp) and paid for reviews.

[Your favorite planet now and what you are hoping for in the future.]

I found all of the planets to be boring and uneventful.

[1.1.5 - death of rarity and achievements?!]

Success to me means whether or not I enjoy the game. Pretty simple definition. Though I made that point earlier and someone responded with "this game is fail!" To which I switched to a business level of success. If you don't like it, quit and go find something you do like. Personally, I do like the game and consider it a success. There's plenty I complain about, but adding more customization and more fluff isn't one of them regardless of whether or not someone can craft or purchase a color crystal that I got in my rakata weapons. Good for them if they enjoy it. My ego doesn't hinge on how much better I think I am at the game than everyone else.

 

This game is fail though.
