WoW is full with giant eyeballs. :-)Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-5054084576225711842021-07-05T23:41:56.142+01:002021-07-05T23:41:56.142+01:00My Mum loves to watch soap operas and I've occ...My Mum loves to watch soap operas and I've occasionally sat down to watch an episode or two with her. They tend to have a backlog of hundreds if not thousands of episodes, and long-time viewers have insight into all this history of knowing which character plotted against which other character in the past, yet it's quite possible to jump in with zero knowledge of that and still be entertained, because the drama tends to be obvious and somewhat amusingly over the top. Watching WoW cut scenes really feels very similar to me at this point.<br /><br />As for the Night Fae assault, it seemed easy to me at the start but then I somehow ended up getting trapped in situations where two mobs turned towards me at once and the dust only works against one at a time. Maybe it was due to the other players around me doing the mission at the same time, who knows.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-39520916754084464242021-07-05T22:24:53.160+01:002021-07-05T22:24:53.160+01:00I think overall we agree.

I liked the intro quests a lot but skipped it on my second char the next day.<br /><br />I like that the dailies aren't real chores and are quick.<br /><br />> NPC soap opera<br /><br />Very well put and I actually laughed.<br /><br />> I also didn't really enjoy the part where you have to sneak around with Lady Moonberry<br /><br />Maybe I had EZMODE enabled. I could use the vanishing powder every time I was seen (very often on the first char, not once on second char) and was never thrown back.Nogamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703565537132612133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-641720672817691842021-07-05T22:04:01.664+01:002021-07-05T22:04:01.664+01:00What did you think the line "Except for spam-...What did you think the line "Except for spam-healing myself for 20 minutes after I ate that cheese in LOTRO when I could have just died and lost nothing." is referring to? :DShintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-51887872118689502332021-07-05T18:15:27.751+01:002021-07-05T18:15:27.751+01:00It's a running joke between me and the husband...<i>It's a running joke between me and the husband that I'll click on anything that the game will let me click on, even if it's some sort of edible that's marked as poisonous.

I'm meh about the story. <br /><br />The Tyrande Night Warrior story line continues to be stupid. That she continues to be defeated just makes the whole Night Warrior build up incredibly bad writing. They never show her to be that dangerous.<br /><br />Bringing in the Nathrezim to work for the Jailer just feels like a really bad retcon. I'd have no problems with them working for the Jailer if it had been established that they were that mercenary, but it had been firmly established that they worked for Sargeras.<br /><br />As far as Sylvanas goes, I think they'll screw the pooch with her no matter what they do. They backed themselves in a corner and no matter the choice they are going to piss off some big segment of their fanbase."<br /><br />The quest flow was a bit annoying. We should have gotten the Renown quest sooner so that we could start on it immediately since it and the 1,000 anima one are the only ones available, now. (When I took the x Souls collected quest it had Renown as a reward, but that was removed when I turned it in during the Korthia quest chain. :sigh:) I had to scramble to find enough things to do to get that done. (I wanted to make sure I could get flying next week.) All in all, typical modern Wow design stuff, though not realizing that there would (again) be two assaults through the week meant I missed the first one because I waiting until the 4th to start the patch.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-59323129899547924142021-07-05T14:52:13.721+01:002021-07-05T14:52:13.721+01:00LOL! I too had thought the Eye was metaphorical! T...LOL! I too had thought the Eye was metaphorical! The fact that the Eye was real, and was really Odyn's Eye was a real "wait, what?" moment.<br /><br />I really think this is a major weakness of the current WoW writers, they aren't blunt enough, and not enough of what they want to convey is getting through.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.com
