THIS is SO TRUE !

I see you never played a: Hunter, Warlock or Paladin (in the Vanilla PVP you claim to love). Trust me, this game's balance p roblems are NOTHING compared to Vanilaa WoW's PvP problems.. and i wouldn't say WoW has made a ton of headway, either. Some, yes, but even now the WoW PvP balance problems are no worse or better than this games.



This is so flagrantly false it almost threatens to make the blood come out of my eyes from reading it. At the time it launched, WoW on high settings with draw distance all the way up would reduce top-end gaming rigs to sub 1fps.

During beta, before the last two rounds of optimizations, you didnt even need to be on high settings. WoW runs great now because the core engine is 9 years old with 8 years of tuning and optimization... and extremely low poly. (Which is not to say it looks bad - it looks like Warcraft, and to me is a fine example of art direction > polycount; doesn't change the fact that that is why it runs so good, though).

Tarren Mill/Southshore was a sub 1fps slideshow an all but the beefiest rigs. When AV launched, even 40v40 would bring framerates down to sub-30fps on the beefiest machines.. if you added in NPCs (Reivers/Wolf Riders/Lok)... right down to Tarren Mill levels of performance.

to this day the game is STILL heavily CPU bound and piggy in large-player areas. Flying into Org on a (Westmere Hexacore i7 @ 3.06 Ghz, Radeon 5870, 12 GB of FB-DDR3) beefy rig still produced a sub-1fps slideshow as the GPU starves because the CPU cant supply it with information on 400 players fast enough.

Nice that you mentioned it. Hunters were fine but had a very high skill cap. You needed to time things right if you wanted to win against other classes in one on one.
My main was a warlock and when we got terror effect (not fear) on death coil we pretty much dominated the PVP scene. Before that we were under powered.

Did you play vanilla at all?

Im on a 3930k @ 4.7 with 32gb ram and dual 6970. I don't have any problems playing WoW at 5760x1080. Did not even have problems running WoW with my Q6600 or back in vanilla with my thunderbird.

So I guess you have much spyware or not configured your computer right.

The deathcoil change was not some "iWin button" - against classes that warlocks had few problems with in the first place (Hunters, Shamans, Mages) it made the situation even worse and more unfair, and aganst classes that warlocks got kicked by -

Warriors, Rogues, priests with a pulse..

it accomplished almost nothing. It was three seconds to get off...

what?

And oh yeah.. TEN MINUTE COOLDOWN. Wasn't reduced to 2 minutes until almost a year later. And the change wasnt introduced in the first place for almost 10 months.

Watched your video and your point about whoever brings the most people to Illum is the biggest reason why I myself am going to quit as soon as something else comes out, your server at least in your video has a decent amount of both, at least 95% of all the other ones are just giant Imp zerg fest , 10:1 odds on average, and then your throw dailes at us (Republic) that require us to throw ourselves to the wolves in the hopes of getting our daily done, my DAILY takes over a week and my weekly is going to be over a month at this point and ohh yeah I have INVIS and I still can grab boxes there are so many cockroaches (Imps) on Illum that even with invisibility you cant stealth around there and snag a box except maybe one every 30 min and if you DO manage to grab one you are proboly gonna die cuz chances are 20 people saw you pop out for a sec and are just gonna AOE the whole planet till they find you , then its CC lock and death. So HOWEVER frusterating it is for your particular class as a IMP just remember as a Republic the pvp is almost unplayable and when you get Huttball que for the 50th time in a row and wonder why none of the others pop, you can thank yourselves for driving every last Jedi to the darkside congratulations.
