Well, "tauren paladins" arent that weird for me, after all they are very honorable and "good natured" race.. Meanwhile "orc mage" sounds really ugly and stupid.

I hope druids finally get turtleform :p

I'm far from huge fan of Cataclysm, but it's been like that for a while I suppose. WoW is an unstoppable juggernaut that destroys cool lore lines and homogenizes everything in its path. I've been increasingly disappointed with the direction WoW's been taking... but I suppose it's time to just let go and focus on Blizzard's other franchises.

WoW is an amazing casual game, but it is impossible to say that it has, or ever will be, anywhere near balanced as SC

Stop trying to compare the two.

Balancing an RTS and balancing an MMO are two different things. 11+ Million players in WoW, do you think a majority of them are going to be hardcore raid/PVP-till-your-eyes-bleed players or casual one or two hours a night players.

It's marketing. PVP imbalance isn't going to make 10 million players quit or stop playing. They'll bitch and move on to other things. WoW can't cater to a small group of player's needs. The easiest (and largest) group to please is the casual gamer, and they are doing that quite well - you already admit this. I'm not defending Blizzard because I necessarily like the way they have currently set up the game, both PVP and PVEwise.

I used to raid six nights a week with Catalyst on Feathermoon pre-BC. If you can use your Season experience as a "proof" to back your argument, I can pull those out too. I played WoW before druids were even a class and rogues had feign death. I haven't seriously raided in a long time, just as a filler when my friends are down a few people.

If you're really a 2k+ player, Husky, and you can't beat certain classes / comps.. I'd hope you've got at least enough friends to mock a scenario. For the longest time, I was having big issues as a ret pally (admitting I play ret pally is probably going to make you all think my posts are worthless, due to QQ OP nonsense.) when going up against the new Shadowfrost PVP Deathknight spec... so I just found a good sparring partner that happened to be that class/spec combo and talked theory and duelled him all night. Same thing I do if I'm having trouble beating 5 hatch hydra as Terran or whatever...just get a person to keep pummeling away at you until you figure out timings or strats. There's a few Free-PVP arenas I hope to god you know about, take your arena team and find some friends... I play ret pally / resto shaman and alot of our PVP friends were willing to 2v2 in Gurubashi until we could get some synergy vs. DK / Holy paladin or whatever.

Yeah I know Blizzards main focus never has and never will be PvP, I understand why that is. The only thing that irks me is when people say WoW is a good e-sport. It simply cannot be a good one and wouldnt be one at all if Blizzard wasnt fueling it with loads of money (Starcraft became an e-sport on its own because of how good of a game it is).

Arena is pretty fun, I'll give it that. Nothing like facerolling noobs as warrior+any healer. Though since I was a warrior I never had too much trouble with ret... it was holy who are the assholes

I may hop on WoW again just to faceroll my way to 2100 while I wait for the sc2 beta.

Not the way warriors work in 3.2.. Well, unless you're playing against a bunch of morons. "Let's stand in the bladestorm YAAAAAY" Warriors aren't as strong with a healer pair as they used to be. Take a rogue or a mage and you'll faceroll alot easier.

I played holy up until 3.1, I play Ret and dualspec into prot specced healing... It's a mean, mean spec, and everyone hates pallies who play it. I might faction/server transfer from Ally - The Scryers to Horde - Malganis because my coworkers are all horde over on Malganis and keep pesting me about faction changes coming out. You should swing by.

Also, no WoW is not an e-sport. lol.

Mal-Ganis, not a fun server to transfer to, you would hate it even if it's THE Horde server simply because of the wonderful lag and queues.

For the record, I'm still contemplating playing WoW again just because I have some free time opening up next term.

I dont hate WoW, I just get frustrated at the painfully obvious things they could change to make pvp more balanced.

I gave it a month recently (paid for 1 month and immediately cancelled), and pretty quickly I remembered why the game wastes so much of your time. It wasn't fun per se, but it was something to spend a lot of time doing and when I realized what was happening, I stopped immediately and let the last week run out.

??? It's been queuing up. It's THE Horde server for US. It's been like that for a while now...

http://www.wowwiki.com/Server:Mal'Ganis_US

Just some more info, it's one of the few servers where a considerable amount of the player population held an online protest by purposely gathering in a single place (Shattrath in this case iirc) to stress the server after days of horrible lag and queues.

kind of dissapointing. Beautiful direction and cinematography, great 3d and effects, but good GOD blizzard needs to hire better writers. Or rather, actually let andy chambers write some story and backstory. I dunno why they hired him else

I agree WoW I think just keeps going downhill I quit when WOTLK came out unless the game changes drastically and gets fun again dont see myself playing again. Just the same stuff over and over except this time there's no cool wc3 characters.

Considering Cataclysm was the spotlight during last years Blizzcon, I'd say this year will just be a polished rehash whilst Diablo 3 and the new secret MMO (Hydra) take the main stage. I'd hope to see a glimpse of Heart of the Swarm too, but it's probably too soon. Deathwing looks pretty badass.

Nice, I love cinematics :D
He looks a bit like Diablo in D3 trailer, and trailer is about as boring as the wotlk one.

Project hydra was diablo 3. The new MMO doesn't have a known codename.
