Sadly I was more interested in the Fire Emblem ad. So it's out...guess I'll have to hunt for it.

In the vien of the thread, not really. For me, while they are at least trying to move stuff(I'm awaiting the day they release some way of making one person per server a Neo). They are just continuing and beating a dead horse. Though at least unlike Blizzard they are trying to give excitement in their world instead of "Go kill Oxynia....for the 15th time you bastards!"

Most of these movie tie-in games do. SW: Galaxies isn't known for being perfect either, which is another shame.

Blizzard also gives you huge variety in that you can 40 man raid Molten Core as well for the 15th time or that dragon in Azshara. Talk about options! :lol:

Although, Battlegrounds iscoming out. So at least that will be exciting.

I know and sadly, the big dragon and the uber demon are more fun then 6 hours of Molten Core's "Look we beat....Ragnaros again...so did he drop what I needed?....No?...Next week?".

Played it on the test server, and while fun lacks one thing, cohesion. People will learn very quickly or honor will shift dramatically. This is more a thing about players then anything about me going it's bad. Flag grabbing is still a fun issue, but we'll see.

It's funny when you don't have 300 other members for a zergling rush, it fucks many an idiot's plans very quickly. Watching 40 Alliance scream like bad Vikings only to realize there are no more to aid them, well they get stomped by many a Mage and Hunter, the Shaman and Warrior picking off the stragglers very quickly.

Moved the G&C. Anyway, re: WoW, doing an instance ten billion times to get that one drop you want pisses me off no end. I'm lvl 51 warrior (axe) now, and have been toting Bonebiter (SM quest reward) ever since I got the bloody thing. So, I hit Maraudon a few times to try and get the blue axe that drops there, I never fucking get it. Needless to say, Maraudon is the most annoying fucking instance ever. I end up settling for a crappy lvl 51 green axe that's slow as hell.

As to PvP, I play on a PvP server but never participate in raids. Don't have enough RAM.

I did kill a lvl 60 rogue last night, that was funny as hell :)

I suspect all my fun at lvl 60 will be had by trying to collect all my armor items and get some purple stuff, get an epic mount, etc etc etc.

The Dragon and the Uber-Demon are actually pretty fun, but I hate Molten Core runs. I've never done anything that took so long in a game that had so much sitting around on my ass waiting for the raid to start moving again.

I personally love the Warsong Gulch thing on the test server. The 10 v 10 capture the flag game is wicked fun. I kind of wish I had waited for it to enter the game proper, since I froze my account (in the end, the game was getting boring and I didn't like the direction my guild was going anyway).

Since I play Horde, I can only imagine. My experience there is that the Alliance suffers from a very interesting game disadvantage... alot of the retarded 14 year olds who start the game immediately sign up on Alliance and pick up Paladin (at least on our server, it seems like 1 in 3 Alliance players is a Paladin). Since they are young and think they rule, they don't mesh well with plans and also play like Klingons. Thus, my guild in battles have completely owned groups of Alliance who are double our number in fights (of course, then a thousand more alliance show up and things become more one sided).

Normally, there is no damn good reason a Warrior should be able to beat down a Paladin, but I've got a bunch of Pally heads mounted on my wall because the players are dense as depleted uranium (and think it's a good idea to use their Invincibility Shield immediately).

Oh fucking A I so agree...holy shit. It was just sitting there and BUFFING and SPOT HEALING. Literally we had a strategy that killed any of the bosses but even if you were the main tank all you did was maintain aggro and get healed.

Seriously it makes you want to just open a book and start reading.

10 vs 10 rocks...40 vs 40, becomes hilarious.

For this reason I hate honestly Tarren Mill. Literally if the odds are even it's said how bad we own most Alliance idiots....then the swarm fucking comes and sorry, it just doesn't matter. It's something I loved to watch in Battlegrounds. So many morons think that these tactics still work.

Pretty much, another sad point a warrior can control his damage...a Paladin? You pray long and hard for the Seal of Command to proc.

Playing a Shaman has been loads more fun, just I'm now reaching a point of going "Yay, no I get to do Strah, Scholo, and MC HORDE Side......yippee"

I cooked myself lunch once during the middle of a Molten Core run. I expected them to have moved along, but they were sitting there staring at an couple earth elementals picking their nose.

Tarren Mill is just a bad place because it gets raided all the fucking time and goes through five steps.

1) Some Alliance plays start messing with the Deathguards.
2) Either they get smacked around by some Horde players passing through or they get hit by a Deathguard Zerg Rush (personally, I like option 2... Deathguard Zerg Rushes are funny).
3) They run back to Southshore.
4) A billion Alliance members show up. Hillbrads rumbles as Alliance members swarm out of Southshore and to Tarren Mill.
5) Most Horde players say "screw this" and leave. Tarren Mill gets buried under Alliance and anyone there actually trying to do the quests at a low level have to deal with the Magic Lag Pocket of Death residing over the town.

I can't wait for Warsong Gulch in particular, but the Alterac Valley is great too. It looks like whose ever group is actually the better organized and actually utilizes strategy beyond civil war human wave tactics will win more often than not. That's one of my big problems with Warcraft PvP and it will fix it some.

Hell, one time me and the other four Paladins got into an argument who was buffing duty. Literally the other three would go on mini vacations while one took up the slack.

It was just so damn sad. This is the shit Blizzard has to improve for end game instances.

Oh yeah, everytime I head into that area, Alliance or Horde I get hit by the uber 2000th level lagbeast.

Oh it definitly will, and honestly it will teach some retards how to play their character.....because if the test is anything watching them go swarm and get assraped is any indication, I can see loads of Horde just lining up for both.

The only thing I'm thinking is that if Neo's body is still being held by the machines somewhere and not properly buried/cremated/destroyed in some fashion, there's still the possibility of a Matrix: Resurrections. And that would suck. At least, seeing all the previews and then putting up with the crazy fanatics would suck. I wouldn't watch it.

Morpheus from the original Matrix was a great character. Between the two sequels he was totally crappified, and this seems like the final blow.

It doesn't even make sense. Why the hell would Morpheus just go on a rampage dropping these "code-bomb" things? I'm tempted to cancel my subscription, even though it is a pretty fun game.

Because they don't want to pay the people playing Morpheus to be around anymore. Duuuh. :P

Matrix Online killed Morpheus. Does anyone care?
I have more emotional investment in my navel lint than I do in the bloated, self-important Matrix series in general, or the tediously pompous pseudo-philosophizing windbag Morpheus in particular.

So the answer is no.

Hey wait, isn't it part of the fiction that dying in the Matrix no longer kills you IRL? Otherwise the game would have permadeath for players.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

In a way, lucky you didn't get that alligator axe, because your green Colossal Axe of X (I'm guessing) is possibly the best thing you can have at that point.

Slow as hell is a good thing. See Ghost Rider's impossibly unobtainable super duper Arcanite Reaper for that. :P
