[PC Game] World of Warcraft: Catch All Thread

Frank · Mar 22, 2013

I'm not hating on it, that's just really underwhelming looking.

Also, I know a lot of the hate came from the presentation itself. "This is how you disenchant a card" (repeats process 6 times over again).

how free is this game now?

The only time you pay is if you want to buy the $1 booster packs, but they said all the cards can be earned through game play too, just a lot slower.

Frank · Mar 22, 2013

Like most games of the type, you either play for an inordinately large amount of time for light rewards, or blow a couple of bucks and get instant gratification. I'm not bagging on this model, how else is a freemium game going to make money? It's just why I generally don't like them.

That's just it, Metzen clearly said they're using this -Team 5- to do innovative small franchise tied gaming/apps for Blizzard. It's underwhelming because it's a fantastic tablet/flash game that incorporates the love of Blizzard characters and MTG.

Wat, the MMO?

CynicismKills · Mar 22, 2013

MMO's still 15 a month, not sure what the price on the game/xpacs is now.

Oh I thought we were talking about Heathstone now. WoW still has a fee and box price.

I had to visit the Terrace a scary number of times for my hunter's Sha Touched gun. My monk got her staff tonight on her second week of being able to go...not sure if I want to laugh or cry.

CynicismKills · Mar 24, 2013

My Monk is still using an i450 staff, I have awful luck with weapon drops ever since BC. I think I used it all up in vanilla on my Warrior.

Gilgamesh · Mar 24, 2013

The released gameplay footage video has only excited me even more for Hearthstone.

Squidleybits - I ran Terrace 38 times for my Sha 2h Axe. I never got it. 3rd run of first Throne of Thunder? I got the 502 weapon. Go figure.

Bowielee · Mar 25, 2013

My iLvL was pretty low when I had to stop playing again. Yikes, I just looked it up on armory, 460... yikes.

I'm currently 487 and that's considered too low by most.

That's just awful! Does Lei Shei drop it? I've found her to be super stingy. I'm glad you got one in the new raid!

Sha dropped it, I'm just glad to be done with it and stick with my Throne weapon. Sucks I won't get to use my Sha Gem but the new weapon has better damage anyway.

Squidleybits · Mar 25, 2013

Just got the one handed Sha Touched weapon from the Empress...

CynicismKills · Mar 25, 2013

I might do an LFR tonight, I dunno. Got hooked on Xenoblade again and would like to finish that...

Squidleybits · Mar 25, 2013

Are you Horde?

CynicismKills · Mar 25, 2013

Nope, mainly Alliance. Got a Mage at 85 Hordeside but that's about it.

Squidleybits · Mar 26, 2013

I need to work on my ally hunter soon! Easily my favourite class!

ScytheRexx · Mar 26, 2013

I really need to level up one of my Horde, because 5.3 is going to be the start of something I have been waiting for since Cataclysm.

Squidleybits · Mar 26, 2013

Excited over the extra hunter pet stable slots or something else?

Yeah, I'm working on my Mage. Not sure what Alliance is getting story-wise but there's no way it compares to Garrosh turning on everyone.

I'm the opposite, I'm working on an Alliance to get to the 5.0-5.3 storyline.

Welcomes ta da Rebellion, mon!

Squidleybits · Mar 26, 2013

But I am also super excited for more stable spots.

Dave · Mar 27, 2013

So....I get a message yesterday that my account is locked. Apparently there's someone out there that is fucking with me. They haven't gotten in, but apparently they hate my account.

Squidleybits · Mar 27, 2013

Oh ew! That's no good. Do you use an authenticator?

Are you sure it wasn't a phishing attempt? Is your account really and truly locked?

Yeah, I tried to log on last night and got a weird message saying that too many bad attempts, yada yada. I haven't had the chance to unlock it yet. I'm just thankful I had an authenticator or I have a feeling everything would be gone.

Squidleybits · Mar 27, 2013

Finally finished a Test of Valour on my lock today. My hunter is still a few weeks out.

Gilgamesh · Mar 27, 2013

I just ran all 4 of my saved Troves of the Thunder King runs. I only got Chest Keys on the first run. Not sure if that's a bug or intended but it seems you only get chances at the final chests during your first run, all others are simply money runs.

Squidleybits · Mar 27, 2013

It all seems random to me. My hunter gets at least one chest key each time and the golden chest is easy to spot. My lock had to rush to the second room and kill stuff and got rooted just as she went to open the golden chest. She's never gotten a second chest key.

See but on my first run I got 4 keys. Second run no keys. Third run no keys. Fourth run no keys.

I did the exact same route all 4 times.

CynicismKills · Mar 27, 2013

I think it's all RNG. One run I had 7 Gold chests and 3 keys, the next week I found 3 Golds and no keys. This week I've gotten 5 Golds and one key.
