Back on the East Coast
Wow.
An obvious exclamation to use after returning from BlizzCon, but it fits. This was an amazing event in so many ways. Anyone savvy enough to find this blog doesn’t need me to point to the multitude of links recapping the show (Massively alone wrote like a hundred articles), but suffice it to say that Blizzard has applied their usual polish and class to this event. Knowing the massive undertaking required to put on an SOE FanFaire, I am stunned by the effort it took to pull off BlizzCon. In ways it reminded me of the excitement and energy of the E3 of old, without most of the excess and eventual decadence.
After standing in line about a half hour I even got to play Diablo 3, and let me assure you that it rocks.
I must admit, the frenzy of BlizzCon and the launch of the 3.0 patch has me in a quandary as to whether I should return to WoW now or wait for Wrath in a month. I’d like a little time to get to know my class again (since they basically rewrote the talents of just about everybody), but I’m not sure what I’d actually do in the game. I don’t want to roll an alt, and any gear I’d acquire on my main will be instantly obsolete in Northrend. I suppose I could try to make enough cash to finally get my epic flier, but I’m not sure that’s enough to keep me interested.
This dilemma is partly fueled by the fact that my playtime in WAR has been dragging a bit lately. After exhausting the tier 2 content in chaos, I ran through the dark elf area. I feel the quest design and population leave a little to be desired, and I’ve found myself frustrated more often than entertained. I still find the marauder much more to my taste than WoW’s warrior, so I’m not sure what I want to do yet.
Hey, it’s good to have options at least!
imm playing both again about 50 50 I am getting a lil fustrated with the classes espically post T2… I am really a MAJOR fan of hybrids and the classes in WAR are very 1 dimentional …. nothign wrong with that just not for Me who my fav char ever has been the eq1 sk… followed by the eq2 sk followed by the eq1 Necromancer then the wow warlock and ele shami…. so imm VERY intrested in trying the deathknight in a month.
P.S. I beg of you to have a sk like character in your upcomming mmo.
Hmmm… you know, I’ve been slowing down with WAR since hitting T2 DE stuff (I’m into the T3 DE stuff now and a bit low for where I am). I’m not sure what it is, but it might be it’s more of the same. More killing High Elves… Meh.
Try the greenskin or chaos areas for pve, in my experience the elf content isn’t as polished.
