World of Warcraft - Page 8

**dood gone krazee** · 01-23-2009, 12:31 PM

Okay had to make a new account to get the full version of WoW so now I have a level 19 Dwarf on Blood Furnace. I'm gonan be a tank.

**devonin** · 01-23-2009, 01:07 PM

Warrior tank or Paladin tank?

Also, Grandi, exactly. There's a marked difference in WoW lore between gods and Gods. Anything with worshippers is a god, and killing those is no huge deal.

You'll also notice on the "killing godish things" front, that out in Shadowmoon Valley, the Arrakoa (I think) were trying to summon up "A powerful and evil force" which looked suspiciously like C'thun or at least a C'thun-like being, and as a PC, you put the kaibosh on that pretty easily (I think it's a solo quest even)

Also, the fact that power creep makes an older fight much easier needs to be sort of glossed over in terms of looking at how "powerful" a being is supposed to be. Sure you can 5-man AQ40 -now- but it was still supposed to be a 40-man raid by the standards at the time, so a boss like C'thun should be considered in the "league" of "40-man raids" even though the curve means not-40 people can do it.

By that token, Ragnaros being a 40-man raid means that Neptulon (Who is more powerful than Ragnaros) could absolutely be an expansion-central boss. I'd still rather see them do something with the Emerald Dream though. Archdruid Staghelm totally needs to be a raid boss.

However, I can imagine an event where with the help of magical weapons and other things Sargeras could be destroyed.

Kind of like the weapons in the battle against Kel'Thas, but on a more grandiose scale?

Also I do have to agree that the game needs long hard bosses again. A boss fight that takes 5 minutes and requires no more skill than an easy boss in a heroic makes raiding a lot more boring than trying to force your way through hard strategic fights that have multiple phases and are hard as ****

Hopefully that's the kind of content we'll be looking at when they put out t8 raids

There's a fine line though between making a fight interesting and difficult and just making it long.

Add two 0s onto everything's hitpoints, and you'll get plenty of long fights. But if the fight is made to last so long that everyone's OOM, used up all their good cooldowns, and just struggling to try and scrape up the last damage needed to drop the boss, it just becomes a DPS race again.

Computers cost too much dollars. Anyone have any good suggestions for low cost pc's that can play games reasonably?

Hardware is basically plug an play and pirate your OS. If you need any help simply contact me on a messenger, I'm kind of a super nerd.

omg its fido123
weren't you nominated dumbass of the year before?

on topic : how is the wrath of lich king? i haven't updated my WoW / played WoW in 2 months :P

**devonin** · 01-24-2009, 01:47 AM

I'd say it's pretty much better than BC in every respect that is important to me personally.

**Red_Comet** · 01-24-2009, 02:13 AM

if you can get to a circuit city ASAP do so as they're getting rid of all their electronics (PCs included) at a ridiculous cut, I saw a 400 dollar system going for 120 the other day when I stopped in to pick some stuff up for upgrades. on topic, wrath is really fun, tempted to get back into it from what I played on my friend's DK.

p.s. most circuit city's are closed now but some are still open as they have inventory to get rid of by mid march, and that's really scarce where you can find an open one.

I need to stop switching realms. At least this time I've been able to stick with one character for more then 30 levels.
