“Game experience may change during online playing”
Apple | 8:35 PM on 03.30.2008 36 comments


Today a friend told me that there were some guys on WOW level 70 killing themselves by drowning in the water because “they hate WOW” , the first thing on my mind was :”well isn’t that stupid?” ,
And is not because I play WOW and like the game , is because of the fact that if you don’t like the game you stop playing and paying for an account and stop wasting you money and time.

So yeah some people just don’t like a game because they had a bad experience or is just not the kind of game they like, but do we even think about the notice that says : “Game experience may change during online playing”?

Not everyone has a good online gaming experience it all depends of the server and the people like every community ,and all depends of the attitude that people takes sometimes.

An example is when we play a shooter game like COD4 or Halo , sometimes players are aggressive that actually makes the game more interesting in my opinion; But sometimes there’s just a guy that runs away from you every time you shoot at him and maybe for him is :“wow am having a ball running away from this dude every time eh tries to kill me! :D lol suckeeerrrrr ”
While am like: “ what a fag ! why eh doesn’t turn around and fights back?! >:O AGHHRRRR!” then eh gets owned by my grenade.

This is just a very stupid example , but you guys get it don’t you?

So I know I’m not the only one that gets criticized by an other gamer when I say I play certain game and eh starts to tell me how that game sucks and why I should not play it and how you fail because of playing it ,well I don’t really care but it is annoying when someone does that.

But we know that is useless to discuss with someone that has different game experience than me while playing an online game , still i like to try.

charliesuh's Destructoid Blog
I completely agree. It gets kind of annoying when a friend starts ripping on a game that you play just because THEY had a bad expirience with it while playing online, oh well


oh yea, and I agree that that dude...yea him.
Surf314's Destructoid Blog
Yea the community that you play with can make or break most online games. I love playing on the Dtoid server Caff, Kor and Scotty set up because of the people. I played on another server for awhile but all the admins were severe trolls and it really ruined the experience.
Nessie's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I think its annoying when someone complains about games like that. Or if they liked it and maybe just because of ONE little flaw/disagreement in design or just ONE bad experience they suddenly start talking about how much it insanely sucks now.

Wanna know why a lot of people hate WoW but continue to play? Becuase even if the game gets screwed up, its STILL the best MMO out there. Personally, I loved pre BC WoW, but now I can't stand the game. Its so casual and with 2.4 its even easier. I quit WoW about 6 months ago, and I'm hoping the next expansion will rekindle the game like it should be. The game was CREATED for the hardcore, the PVP system and the PVE wasn't made for casuals, but because so many casuals play the game now, they completly changed what it was. They took a PVE hardcore game, and tried to make it a PVP casual game. Now its just a clusterfuck.

Damn it aborto you beat me to it.

People have been "protesting" the MMO's they play since the beginning. I remember back when I played UO and people would do everything they could to disrupt the game world because "OSI SUCKS!" (OSI being the company that released the game).

It's seriously just a case of people having nothing better to do and no life outside of the game they are addicted to. It's the same behavior I've seen from people doing line after line of cocaine off my coffee table. They snort one up, sit back and say "this shit is horrible, I need to stop doing this crap"... then lean over for another line.

@sevink
You're being fazed out of WOW.
WOW will probably never go back to the way it was when you liked it but that doesn't mean other games won't come along. They may not have the polish Wow has but the appeal will still be there.

Apple is corrupting our poor innocent children with this nonsense.
youkilledmyguy's Destructoid Blog
@sevink

It was created for the hardcore? Not to be a dick but you must be out of your mind. WoW, from it's release, was as casual of an MMO as you can get. The combat system (both PvP and PvE) are designed so that someone with even a basic understanding of a keyboard layout could make it to 70 and be a powerful player.

Since the release of Ultima Online companies have been moving more and more towards making their MMO's candylands. There is nothing hardcore about WoW.

we must battle to the deff
teach4food's Destructoid Blog
But why? Why do the lvl 70s jump in the water to die? Why do the FPS players flee and refuse to fight? Is it a social statement? Are they Tibetan monks protesting Chinese Gold Farmers? or just some 15 year old with nothing better to do.

Every game is a sandbox, if you know how to kick it in someone's face.

I want to hear "Apple Speak" as Ron has so lovingly dubbed it. Apple, please post a video :3

Apple might just be enchanting enough to lure me to Stickam. But only if Ron's there too, or else I won't feel safe.

So your saying a "casual" could get to rank 14 GM? or Get into a Raid where you HAD to have top end gear to raid BWL? If you knew anything about the devolpment of WoW you would realise the game was created by a bunch of ex everquest players who thought everquest was to "casual". If you look at straight leveling than yes WoW is easy, but again this isn't a Korean MMO this is one of the first great West MMOs and they focused on the endgame. I'm not talking about the ease of leveling. I'm talking the REAL game, when you HAD to literally be in a top end guild to see anything. You think PRE BC WoW wasn't hardcore than its obvious you either never played during this time, or played and never got anywhere.

@liquidninja
I'm now playing and enjoying Lord of the Rings online, very fun game. I also preordered my Collectors Warhammer today also. I know theres more MMOs coming out, but its just taking so long :(
