And you just added to it.



That's just your opinion. I'd appreciate it if you kept it that way.

Yes they have, for a while now. At least a month.

Also, Freelancer, if you're not joking: pot, meet kettle. If you ARE, then disregard that completely. (Sarcasm sometimes translates very poorly on the internet, unfortunately.)

Freelancer--have you PLAYED the frelling game? I'll take that as a no. Jesus, it could be a lot worse, the guy's just really looking forward to the game, as it gets raving reviews, and looks uberfun.

Horde kicked the crap out of an Alliance raid on Thunder Bluff.

Do you understand in some way why I want this beta SO BADLY? At least a little bit?

Watch the video. It's really cool.

Blizzard, why you hat the sexbot?

Got to admit, that video is intriguing. I've never seen PvP before that lasted more than ten seconds, let alone three minutes.

------------------
Have a good one,

If you haven't read that thread, there's some important info:

1.) Thunder Bluff is accessible only by those elevators, unless you're Horde (who can use wind riders, I'd imagine).

2.) Fear-type skills/spells in PvP = uncontrollably running around in circles for the victim.

3.) Those elevators were VERY tightly packed.

4.) Warriors have an area-effect (AE) skill which fears a target for a short time. In PvE its a method of crowd-control against mobs. In PvP its just for annoyance basically (iirc it's got a very short duration, or somesuch).

Apparently a few Horde warriors would run up to the elevators just as they were coming to a stop, and would use this AE fear spell... and those who were affected by it stood the chance of taking a nice dive off the cliff, to their ultimate fate with terra firma. I just found that entertaining.

Yeah, long lasting large scale PvP in MMORPGs is simply awesome.

I got my first taste of it in Asheron's Call when I joined a 'rebellion' against the largest guild on our server. It was just one of the coolest multiplayer gaming experience I've ever had. Big battles, town raids, a big meeting where one of our leaders was assassinated by an enemy spy who snuck into town, guerilla warfare being waged from the mountains surrounding a town we lost, too fun Pity it ended...

Ever since though I've always kept my eyes on new MMORPGs pvp systems and that video now has me really interested in WoW.

Another interesting point: Apparently the Horde had stealthed rogues near where you hop on the elevators from below, scouting the numbers of alliance and letting their pals know when elevators were coming.

Sorry it's a bit late, but I only just read this thread. That's from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - so, do I get my cookie now?

And yes Gonk, I feel your pain. Blizzard must be racist against power dr0ids or something.

It's also from Moby Dick, I believe.

Oops, that's kind of sad - I never knew it originated from a classic.

Now we can both get a cookie, or at least split it in half.

Don't worry, Gonk. I emailed Blizzard Tech Support and asked them to let you in on all the fun. I'm sure they'll be reasonable.

I think I am the only person in beta that is BETA TESTING and not just playing. I've been sending feedback to Blizzard since I got the beta, everyone that is in beta seems to forget that they have a job as well as having fun.

How long did it take for you to get the email from Blizzard after Thrawn talked to Blizzardguy (tm)?

Also, yeah I think it is common for people to forget that they're testing the game, and not just getting a free trial. I've lost count of the times I've seen people complaining about this or that feature as if they were paying for the game. Then again, when people DO discuss the game, it helps the developer work out any potential issues, and gives them an insight as to how the game works on a larger scale...

Edit: Some screens of the Thunder Bluff raid.
