Re: WoW Am I Missing Something?

Nel tempo Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:43:25 -0700 (PDT), il mio fedele schiavo
Wu desto' nel mio animo interesse sopra il conversare di Darin Johnson
<darin@xxxxxxx>:

I guess I wasn't a capable player then. I could sense the annoyance
when I couldn't reliably chain together traps on my hunter.

I have levelled a hunter and I think chain trapping is a nightmare.
I've stopped complaining about seduction :D

so I was always the odd man out who didn't understand
the raid marker system (which were never the same, despite everyone
claiming they were "standard")

If they don't bother explaining, they're to blame for that.

or they'd all be on voice except me

Well, you can always listen in even if you don't have a microphone
(provided they use some common channel like the Blizzard one).

The *only* reason I was there was to do the quests, and yet the
groups actually seemed annoyed and dismayed that I actually
wanted to make a side trip into some rooms for a quest instead
of making a beeline to the boss and the uber drops.

I usually have this issue with "kids", let's call them that, not with
experienced players.

Zul Farak, Maraudon, Sunken Temple. They just weren't very
fun, just pure dungeon crawls.

I actually loved them.
To this day I remember the way through, and the quests were great :)

I do admit though that I found a lot of bad groups there (I actually
dumped my first group in Maraudon as my priest, they had been so
annoying!)

Never went to black rock or
dire maul, I was burned out when I hit 60.

BRD turned out into a nightmare for many people going there way too
much. Dire Maul was sort of fun but, well, I never went there much.
Scholomance and Stratholme were great. Blackrock Spire, well, that's
the first glimpse of Nefarian you get as a Horde, but it used to be
hell the first times you went there (the Lower, because it was hard as
a 5-man, mob packs were huge requiring perfect CC. The upper, because
your first time with 15 people dashing like mad can be confusing :D ).

I'm not sure. I like easy more than hard. I don't like "practicing"
or
re-running places over and over, or using lots of tactics, or learning
the tricks of a place, or getting timing just right. That sort of
work is
for my day job, not when I'm trying to relax with a casual game.

I'm of two minds. I like both relaxing and a good challenge, one that
makes me feel a sense of rewarding. The raid instances have a deep
connection with lore and the final bosses kinda taunt you to beat
them, if you will (well, Neffie literally did! Ahh, I still remember
what it felt to see him down the first time).
That was fun.

The BC raid instances are interesting as well. I wish they had kept
the curve we had in the core game, that's all.
