Pattern Ghost Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Icy Veins has an interview with Tom Chilton and Ion Hazzikostas up. Edit: Just finished reading it. Looks promising. The only bit that seems worrisome is: "The development team is looking closely at the core fantasy for each class." They can make some pretty sweeping class changes (Hunters for one, this time, though I'm actually looking forward to that change) when they start saying stuff like that.

Christopher R Taylor Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 WoW has drifted further from fantasy in each expansion. I mean this latest one you have an oil rig and air craft carriers. Time to dial it back a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I haven't seen any change in the tech level since it launched. There have been tonks, gyrocopters, shredders, tunneling machines, etc., and Gnomeregan has been a radioactive wasteland since launch. Tech level is about the same as usual. Oil rigs have come in more since Goblins were added. I think the association is that oil rigs are dirty, environmentally unfriendly affairs and the Goblins are greedy little turds, so you usually find oil rigs or similar with them. Goblins and oil or chemical refineries have also been around since launch; for example, there's the quest area in Stranglethorn Vale with Venture Co. goblins and a big chemical mess that looks a lot like oil rigs/refineries.

You guys need to remember, the world of Warcraft(small w) had oil rigs even back in Warcraft 2, the RTS many of us originally found about the franchise from. Both sides in that game had access to them as they were needed for war ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides in that game had access to them as they were needed for war ships. I sucked at the RTS. I had the demo for the original, and never got past like the fifth mission or so. Were the oil rigs run by the goblins in WC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hey guys. I pre-ordered the GW2 Expansion so I got to beta for an hour this weekend with the new class. the new zone is pretty The class is interesting but I kind of sucked with it. I'm eager to start the Living story again. And was impressed that they brought my voice back. Your character speaks, the abandonment of cutscenes left me kind of feeling like I was a dim-witted child with everyone explaining and doing exposition. Now your character is in on the act and taking charge, giving orders. It was pretty neat. I'm not really all that thrilled with the Mordremath (sp?) main boss. I don't particularly care for the plant type enemies anymore...would like to see more variety but it's story driven. The poor Sylvari though. This is going to be a tough chapter for them.

Pattern Ghost Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 From the Motley Fool: Activision Blizzard Inc. Doesn't Need "World of Warcraft" Anymore Title is nonsense, like most headlines found on the web. They may not "need" WoW, but it's still a huge cash cow. Edit: After scanning the article, it seems like the headline isn't the only nonsense in it. The author's simply parroting back crap found on various gaming blogs, and not putting any original thought into the article. I was expecting some numbers here. (Accurate ones.) And some analysis. That article doesn't really belong on a financial website. Oh, well, jumped the gun on posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Guild Wars 2 has gone free to play as of yesterday. No more box cost for the base game. (It never had a sub fee.) Good time to give it a shot if you didn't want to shell out the box fee. The first expansion (paid) will be out in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 The launcher was updated with it too. It's going in tomorrow. Probably. Maybe. I've got a couple of 91s left to level, so it'll be nice. I've already done the "drive around the mountain" game seven times. Being able to fly over the stupid terrain for the next two will be a godsend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looks like the flying works for all your high enough level characters, even if they have not personally done the achievement, as long as one character on that server has.
