Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
I'm much less bored at this point in the expac than I have been in any of the previous ones, yes, including Wrath (I was so sick of Wrath by the near-end of it I would rather have used sandpaper for toilet paper than level through it) or BC. The zones are beautiful and engaging (except FFR, I still hate snow zones, THANKS WRATH) and things like bonus objectives and treasures and things have returned some of the excitement-of-discovery that WoW has lacked (for me) for the past seven years or so.
I'm kinda hoping there's another year before the next expac, so I have some -hope- of getting everything done by then.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
My mount gripe? So...many....freakin....boars!!! Like so many. Its insane. I like wolves so maybe theres heaps of those and I just don't care but my god so many pigs. And how hard is it to slow a wolf run? Seriously they fixed BOARS but not them?? Meh.Wain wrote: People have said that a lot. I was confused at first, as there are still quite a few models, and there have always been lots of colour variants for mounts of the same model. But I eventually decided that the difference this time is that they may be spread too widely. Rather than a few vendors selling a bunch of them, they're used for so many different rewards that after a while I think it all gets a bit bland. Especially later on in 6.1 when the less sexy colours (which I maybe unfairly think of as the "leftovers" - the ones designers didn't pick for 6.0) were offered up as brand new rewards. I think that's why people are finding them more boring, despite us having enormous number of mounts on offer. I think it's fine to offer recolours, even large numbers of recolours (they've always done this!) but I think for it to be interesting it needs to be from a condensed number of sources. That's my feeling anyway.

I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
Why 2 more pvp seasons ? They also seems to say different things, depending on who you talk to. As explained in her video, if they go through with this.. We will see a record low dip in subs. I hardly see anyone online anymore as it is.. I'm holding out till I get a feel for the direction of the new expansion, and if it's anything like this one. I think I will let my sub run out. I just hate to leave the game.. No game last forever I suppose.Castile wrote:Yes this is the last major patch with content - I think a dev already said that somewhere. Minor patches with flying etc will still be released but this is it until the next xpac people are saying (and complaining about).

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
Thats also true. It might mean that a new xpac will be out quicker maybe (which won't be a bad thing). I don't mind tbh. The less ppl around the more rares for mecowmuflage wrote:A dev might say it but then again it might not be set in stone.

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
Any particular drop in subscriptions could be due to poor content or bad decisions on the part of the designers, or it could be natural decline. People who feel strongly about a particular issue can always point at the drops and claim it's because of their particular concern. It may be, it may not be. They may know something, but if they don't then they'll still look like they do. I tend to take any claim with a grain of salt.

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
I don't have it. I finally went through my achievements last night and finished up Securing Draenor and the Explorer Achievement. I don't have 2 of the reps done yet.AdamSavage wrote:Strange. I thought more people would have it by now.. Maybe they are taking their time ?
I figure I will make sure it's all done by whenever they announce flying will be added. Until then there's no point in rushing. But I've always been a pokey sort of person.
Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
I haven't bought any medallions but I am farming them as much as I can and sending them all to my main. But that's not so I can get exalted with the Tanaan factions, which are almost done anyway, but so I can get rep with the Ashran faction for the mounts. Every bit of rep is some that I won't have to grind in the battleground later.

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
I still haven't even started it yet, though granted I don't play as much anymore. However Junrei is right about one thing.AdamSavage wrote:Strange. I thought more people would have it by now.. Maybe they are taking their time ?
With a game as BIG as WoW is, this can get very crazy and complicated. While I can't find it, there was a hotfix awhile back that stated that they fixed an issue about the Hogger event in Elwynn Forest not being able to be completed if some guard in Stormwind was dead. So yeah, I'm pretty sure the devs are trying to see every nook and crannies they can find in Draenor and make sure flight isn't disturbed much.Junrei wrote:You'd also be VERY surprised how complex coding can be. One misplaced semi-colon screws everything up, just as an example.

Re: Dev Interview - Hellfire Citadel the Final Raid
^This. I don't and I didn't rush to "grind" reps right away either (and frankly don't know why people bothered). I'm missing a chunk of quests for loremaster of Draenor for one and am 40 odd treasures off 100. I'm one weekly away from revered from the saberstalkers and thats my last rep for Tanaan with just doing quests and dailies.Junrei wrote:Adam, I'd not be so quick to say 'most' have it. I don't have it. Most of my friends don't have it yet. Lots of people in my large guild don't have it either. You'd also be VERY surprised how complex coding can be. One misplaced semi-colon screws everything up, just as an example.
I didn't expect to see flying right away either - especially if this was the last "major" content patch. They will drag this out to be sure. And as Junrei said, if they designed this xpac without flying in mind then they will need to do some coding to get it right and it's not as simple as it sounds.
