Before wow I think FF was the only game I played with in regularity since I was young.<br /><br />So needless to say I have a lot of history with the FF franchise which makes me like the game a bit more as I see things I remember from the old games and it brings a little nostalgia around to make me smile.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-44897886046784018622015-08-12T13:13:31.249-04:002015-08-12T13:13:31.249-04:00Edit: End of Cata for that Mini Mana Bomb (not Wra...Edit: End of Cata for that Mini Mana Bomb (not Wrath).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942440850950953231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-5527642439440026402015-08-12T13:09:18.161-04:002015-08-12T13:09:18.161-04:00Yeah, one of the Hunters in our raid has taken lea...Yeah, one of the Hunters in our raid has taken leave and mostly because he loved SV and he was/is damn good at it. He struggled with MM and it pissed him off. Then the news that SV was turning into melee next xpac and that was really the tipping point for him. He said he hopes to be back before Legion is released but likely not to raid. My guess is, so he can get whatever you can only get during that time before the ending of WoD and the beginning of Legion (you know, like that Mana Bomb us Horde players got at the end of Wrath) and to play SV as ranged for one last time.<br /><br />Sad really.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942440850950953231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-19354904082711421912015-08-12T11:50:29.455-04:002015-08-12T11:50:29.455-04:00I have never own a console game machine.

Hearthstone etc have knocked WoW off it's perch and leaving it to slowly wither away.<br /><br />It's sad because it was a great game. Vanilla was good for me because it was new. BC was good because I could PvP in AV all day and get epics from having some really great fights.<br /><br />Wrath was the pinnacle, the best wow. I did raids, heroics, Wintergrasp... great times. Really enjoyable and the storyline was superb.<br /><br />But since then the stories have stank. Cheese. I've been an avid reader of fantasy literature all my life and the last three expansions have stank. Crappa, Pandaland and Paymore have all been awful for me as a player and as a fantasy reader.<br /><br />Legion has the story potential but Blizzards current path makes it just more "raid or die" crap and just cannot trust them to produce a satisfactory product.<br /><br />I intend to wait until six months after the release, watching Lets Play vids and scouring the forums before I decide to sub again and buy Legion.<br /><br />Garrison and Shipyard just bored me to death and the LRF/LFD atmosphere is too toxic and elitist. Just Leet kiddies wanting an ego wank. <br /><br />Still... plenty more games out there. Steam rocks as a good source of games. Many there worth looking at.Seedy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901494033614338480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-83431183517358577262015-08-11T16:16:22.531-04:002015-08-11T16:16:22.531-04:00Now, as we saw with WoD, this is only the game ann...Now, as we saw with WoD, this is only the game announcement.

To count for us. :P<br /><br />I don't understand the need to convert it either. The last thing this game needs is another melee spec, it needs it like a hole in the head, and they are adding 2, one with hunters and one with a demon hunter. It makes no sense at all.<br /><br />If they added a forth spec there would still be some problems for sure, but 90% of the complaints people have would go away. For some people that loved survival and even still played it even if it is crap, they are pissed off, and rightfully so.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-6973947321621086282015-08-11T15:07:48.442-04:002015-08-11T15:07:48.442-04:00Come to think of it, Hunters already have a melee ...Come to think of it, Hunters already have a melee spec... 3 as a matter of fact.

I get that of the three it would make the most sense to convert, but I really don't understand the need to convert it to melee. The same thing could be accomplished by just adding a 4th spec and then everyone (well, maybe not everyone, but the majority) would be fine with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942440850950953231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-91001694613296225832015-08-11T14:28:18.877-04:002015-08-11T14:28:18.877-04:00Yeah, I think it was just a bad day for Lore. He ...Yeah, I think it was just a bad day for Lore. He answered the question to try and defuse what could be a really harsh topic and ended up looking bad in the process. Feel bad for him. He might have just missed the announcements.<br /><br />I see it as they are removed a tree from the hunter. The hunter had 3 ranged specs, it now has 2. Looks like they removed one to me.<br /><br />Do not get hung up on the fact they are adding a new spec with the same name. Forget the name, get it out of your head, never think of it again. Think of it simply as the 3rd hunter spec with no name. <br /><br />Now ask yourself the question again. Did they remove a spec from the hunter? Remember, before answering, to think how many ranged specs hunters had before and after. Now answer the question.<br /><br />There is no way to misread that. Hunters lost a spec. He said they would not do that. It is a misstatement on his part. He can't say they would not do that when that is exactly what they did.<br /><br />As I said before, if they wanted hunters to have a melee spec they should have added a 4th spec, not deleted the 3rd and replaced it.<br /><br />I am not against hunters having a melee spec. I am against hunters losing a ranged spec to make room for it. They should never remove specs from the game completely like that.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-57187223552369116742015-08-11T14:21:11.381-04:002015-08-11T14:21:11.381-04:00Yeah, the old earning gear through work (as in hon...Yeah, the old earning gear through work (as in honor and conquest) is being removed. Most likely they are going to be going full on RNG just like in PVE with boxes for doing arena or BGs or RBGs. That would be my guess. And the gear is going to be the same exact gear that PvE players get. No more are there two types of gear. At least that is what I've been lead to believe.<br /><br />Someone did mention that the item level in PvP would mean minimal. So yes, mythic gear would be the best, but it might only be 1% better than heroic or something like that. It seems to be they are designing PvP to be more about skill and less about gear, which actually make it more attractive to people like me, even if I am not skilled at PvP.<br /><br />I am sure in instanced content it will be scaled like it is now however, so even a 1% difference will not be there.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.com
