Today I recieved a youtube link from a friend who used to play wow. They demonstrated a 4.0 patch arcane mage!



I bet you can't do half of this by buttrolling keyboard:



Somone up for a challenge? First player to reach D+ by face or buttrolling wins! You can still use mouse too ;P

There's no comparison between BW and WoW. WoW has barely any mechanical requirement at all, and streamlining your UI to require you to use less actions to get things done is a good thing, unlike BW, where being able to produce more actions more quickly is always better.

Also, Arcane mages are completely broken and overpowered at the moment, lol.

LOL You should have compared that WoW video to Boxer playing that blind guy in a blind vs. blind match-up... and how after a while Boxer was like "Fuck this" and took off his blindfold.

Show your friend some BW FPVODs as a rebuttal. He'll probably say something about Koreans being robots or some shit. As if WoW gameplay were somehow less robotic.

Hahaha, this is more of a complaint about how easy it is to do burst damage on a mage. Good thing in catacylsm is that he will run out of mana in about 15 seconds if he does that.

And yes, people are awful at WoW because it appeals to non gamers.

Yea but BW and SC2 are harder than most raiding in WoW.

Also, don't compare the class with the simplest rotation to Jaedong. If you really wanna compare skill, WoW arena is a lot harder than raiding, but even still BW is 10000x harder.

Oh, but it hasn't been balanced for 12 years yet. Maybe you should not complain. Have faith in Blizzard. + Show Spoiler +

it's not comparable, as in wow you need to organise 24 or 9 other people to do their job perfectly, especially on hard modes you can really see who just wants to become a vegetable and who has a few brain cells left. Even though I agree with your argument, I'm interested in how BW is 10, 000 times harder than WoW.

I used to play this MMORPG called Flyff, and every saturday theres a thing called guild isege, which is i guess like 3+ teams with 10 players each, 5 of them in the arena at once killing each other.

My friend and I both sieged on a TE Fighstick designed for fighting games. He MVP'd (highest score in the server) that week...

pretty obvious MMO's take zero mechanics

RTS = Strategy and Mechanics
WoW = Coordination and Teamwork

No need to start this argument T_T

Case in point people. Apples. Oranges. Saying BW is better because it takes [blah blah insert here] just doesn't mean anything. Or WoW over BW for the same reason. The OP was humorous though, I like the literal interpretation of faceroll. The wheel and pedals are pretty crazy... I don't understand how he uses anything else besides his 3 main spells. Maybe he doesn't need them.

Cooperation and Teamwork doesn't require any actual skill. It just requires you not being an idiot.

Nah, I was in one of the best guild in Europe in WoW and the thing with wow is more that the team is as strong as its weakest member. The problem was always one or two guy among the 40 or 25 people that was not good enough and it fucks your attemps.

There were very little challenges that require teamwork in wow, 90% of the boss fights required just everyone to do his thing good, and sorry but doing your own shit is a lot easier than BW and SC2. The issue was always some retard not being focus enough among the 25 people (or 40). There was actually some really tough things that required creativity and good thinking when the fights were bugged as hell at their release, but since wotlk it is nearly not the case anymore.

For arena though, yes teamwork and strategy were necessary but in the end there was just a lot of random numbers to screw things up which made me just lose faith in the competitive aspect of it.

In my opinion, WoW doesn't require much talent (you just have to find anough people talented enough, and this is the hard part : managing and recruiting for your guild) but it's still a fun game...
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
