anyone else really bored with wow now?

Post Reply New Topic

I generally can't stand RPGs but a few months ago some friends got me into WoW and I love it, although I exclusively play PvP (Mostly Arena) since I'm highly competitive and find it quite entertaining.

I've been thinking of getting it since it launched but never seem to get around to it. I love MMO games though. I played an MMORTS called Mankind for like 5 or 6 years back in the day. Never an MMORPG though

I've played wow for about 2 years or more now.
But cataclysm made it boring for me
don't have a decent guild and barely any pugs going on now

5. Play through the storyline, experiencing the world through your character's eyes. Seriously, if you've played a character to 80, start a new one. You'll be amazed at how the starting experience has changed. (One of my characters can now look with pride, every time he flies over Redridge, on the massive crater he helped create...)


Oh, aussiebloke, if you don't care for RPGs, I can't really recommend WoW. It is, after all, an MMORPG... If you just want to compete against other players, without being a character, try the Call of Duty series or Halo: Reach.

I'm enjoying it, but playing in a good guild and with people you've known for several years is different I freely admit. The entire pug experience is frustrating atm, and I don't think that will change in any real way until at least after one major content patch. Basically once the current heroics/raids are 1 tier down from the cutting edge stuff I think it will get better as far as pugging is concerned. But right now, I've only done a few pugs but it's just awful.

Indeed, bring on the Hard Modes.

Hero Mode (HM) is only difficult for the healers. Tanks can just dance in a two-meter circle. Ranged moves in a four-meter circle and Rogues do what they have always done: go behind a boss and backstab it. Healers have to pay attention to mana usage more as people are naturally foolish and wander, say, into Onyxia's buffed "cone of death" (high DoT flame breath). About the only enjoyment I got out of WoW was playing a Resto shaman in this kind of situation.

You can't be referring to Cataclysm boss encounters now, and I'm sorry you had a dull time playing with not so great players.
And it's only natural to get tired of a class (and the game) that has to be responsible for the life of people who think standing in fires is a good idea.

well no, he said Onyxia
I can't even look at my 85 warlock right now, i've been DPSing for 4 years....i've made a priest and started healing. It was really getting too boring.

Jeah I drew that conclusion as well, cuz Oni is just a electrified bomb puppet in Neffy's pit.

I usually have fun, but tonight we whiped on Al akir for 4 hours cuz 1 person was electrocuting and getting caught in winds.

Oh, I'm beat... wish I had weed.

My indicisiveness made me quite several times, only to start playing again several months later. Every time I have to start from scratch because for some reason everyone I played with leaves in those few months.
So far my time is spent doing TB dailies, gearing up through heroics (though that's almost done) and leveling my professions. I wish I could raid again, but none of the raiding guilds are recruiting druids.

I would PvP in this situation, but since the last patch that just hasn't been any fun.

I have to admit I had a ton of fun doing the 75-79 tier BG's at 79 in full Cata gear... XD

I've played it since Vanilla, for several years now. Always been excited for every expansion and I've always enjoyed it. Naturally, I was excited more than ever for Cataclysm, it had such great ideas and potential.

However, I think it fell flat on it's face. Blizzard simply failed to deliver and a lot of what I had expected wasn't actually there. I'm sad, because I had looked forward to all of the new additions to Guilds...

I don't know. It seems that everyone who has played has become terribly bored since Cataclysm. It took me 2 days to get from 80 to 85 and it wasn't even challenging. Yes, the zones are nice, yes, the new quests are nice, but it's too easy, too short. I've hit max level many times but never before have I had such an overwhelming sensation of "what now"?

Maxed all my professions, got plenty of achievements, a pile of gold, nice gear... I don't really feel like I have anything to do anymore, and this has never happened to me endgame before.

Personally, I just think that Blizzard has "dropped the ball" so to speak.

I'm looking into alternative MMOs. I wasn't impressed with Final Fantasy XIV which was disappointing after how much I enjoyed Final Fantasy XI.

What about Rift? Has anyone here tried Rift yet? It looks to be fairly similar to WoW but improved in many ways. I'm tempted to try it. Guild Wars 2 also looks good.

^ I believe Guild Wars 2 will be very good.

I used to play it, but not anymore. The game started getting really terrible after they came out with Burning Crusade. I absolutely HATED the Outlands (except for Nagrand). I played off and on for a while, eventually bought Lich King and then I quit. I never got to level 80, but I did explore everything on the map and get the captain planet tabard!

I've been clean for over half a year now, though recently Blizzard sent me an e-mail offering me free gameplay for 7 days... That company is like a horrible drug pusher. I'll probably take them up on their offer after I'm done with finals next week, but I doubt I'll actually start paying to play again.

I don't think you should do it. I've been playing WoW since it came out, big fan. BUT my most hated expansion was WotLK.
Even tho I enjoy the world and quests they are to linear and the only thing that makes the game fun is the end gamer raiding. PvP is not for me, I don't see how running around killing players all day for weeks could be any sort of enjoyment. The only time PvP is fun is when you're doing it in a Guild group and people joke around over Vent.

I think you should stop giving your money to Blizzard. Since the game indeed has lost it's charm. I even takes break from time to time and play games like Phantasy Star Online (BB-Blue Burst) there are private servers with a horde of people who never got enough of it from the Dreamcast days.

I'm looking forward to Guild Wars 2 myself.
Rift, not so much since I believe they mentioned it's going to be PvP orientated + I'm already balls-deep in WoW so I don't need another one. Or I'd long ago switch to Aion.

If you have absolutely nothing to game right now (which I doubt) then do take the "7 day free trial lure you back and get hooked offer" but if you can compromise and live on great games like Dragon Age and Dead Space series till something more attractive comes along then I think you should do that.

Ciao for now.
