School: Whatever Vulkar said.

Martial arts: I used to join Martial arts until I quitted. If anything you should know, you should learn that martial arts is not always about being aggressive, they want you to control your temper and mind. What you are having here is a massive breakdown. Don't, just calm down and control your chi.

Getting a girlfriend: Wow, look at XmtS. He's banned, you're not. He is likely to be an idiot to have a girlfriend in a first place. Oh yeah, here is an excellent choice of movie to work with: 40 Years Old Virgin.

Comparing yourself to XMtS: Fuck him. You're not even banned, for crying sake. That's even better than XMtS.

Couldn't cut yourself: If you didn't cut yourself, there is always a reason why you DIDN'T. That means there is something that prevent you from doing so.


nothing matters i suck no one will ever love me.

Stop being an ass! TALK TO SOMEONE! I DON'T FUCKING CARE. JUST... TALK TO... SOMEONE! Try to start a new relationship. I did it with Kyoku-kun and that work out. You should to. Try to step up for once, instead of cowarding away like I did.

EDIT: It seem that some member here think I am having a relationship with Kyoku-kun (as in girlfriend and boyfriend.) and NO, we are not having THAT type of relationship... NO stereotyping either, and none of those "oh, he'll get that relationship" either.

Posted on 03-21-07 01:30 AM, in World of Warcraft Rant Link
World of Warcraft… With almost 7 million people actually playing this game, it seems so popular that even youngsters are playing it. That’s right, and since it was never done before, I’ll probably be the first to rant.

I admits it that the time I got World of Warcraft is when I got Dungeon Siege 2 (I believes) and invited Desroth over. When we compares, I told that Dungeon Siege 2 was a “load of more fun” then World of Warcraft was. When I told my dad that I wanted to try it, he said that the monthly payment is expensive ($14.99 is expensive to me as well. I used to make about 50 dollars per week when I work at Taco Bell.), and that I’ll must pay him if I ever want to play it for another month.

So I did. For the first 4 month, despite playing on the weekend, I grow bored of it when I reach to level 30. Why? Let me point out something here.

Traveling. Apparently, it is a huge issue when you want to play on PvP server and the opposite side of your enemy (and their level is 10 time higher then your) will resort to ganking for fun. When you get slain by an enemy, you travel all of the way to back to your corpse to avoid that ridiculous resurrection sickness. Even with the resurrection sickness, you basically have to WAIT until your power is restored and… See the pattern here? This game tests you too much to that the company wants YOU to pay them more. Each minutes count for something. But I do not want to waste 10 minutes to get my strength back. I do not even want my item to be damaged for that as well. Okay, being killed by a playable character doesn’t damage your equipment, but they have a habit to take those times you used to get where you are now.

Money. Everything is expensive. Getting the mount? Good luck. Those things worth about 80 gold and well, Warlocks and Paladin get to pay about 80 silvers. Why is this so? Why does it seem like you have to pick up each item, sell it to the vendor and work your way from there? Even the Auction House can be a bitch when no one wants to sell it for less than 10 golds over a piece of shit.

Players. There is an age restriction for playing this game but… Just a few weeks ago, I played with an 8-year-olds. Yeah, an 8-year-old kid who helps me did one dungeon (with me and himself.) and… Wait, an 8-year-old is playing this game? This can’t be good for the future. Sure, give them entertainment because they deserved it but… What is an 8-year-olds playing on weekday, ignoring school hours? Even worse, when he challenged ME to a duel, I beat him 2 times (one v.s. one, and two v.s. two) before he told me to fight one on 2. Well, he beat me on that but only because we feared each other like hell. I managed to get his HP down to 10% before being defeated and he said: “U r a smart person. U do very good.” I’m sorry, little kid, but why are you playing this game and not going to school? Why didn’t you have your succubus out and take the advantage of seduce/fear combo? I’m not a smart person because I can beat an 8 year old. I only used what is the class offer to me.

In addition, most battleground players are complete idiot. They can’t tell which group they are in and decided to stay one particular area along with another group. Since when do people decided to stay in a group of 2 and not 3, protecting two area where the supplies are going slow (referring to Athasi Basin)? This does not support teamwork at all. Just ignorance.

Achievement. This game does not reward you anything. In fact, reaching to level 60/70 now only made you want to play more… That’s it? You got everything you need, and you are still playing it? You got all of the skill, you got the best equipment you’ll need, you got insanely high stat and now it is time to gank on lower level people. Have fun, but you’re wasting time here. The only thing that left to do for a higher level is to play in a PvP battleground and fight someone closer to your level. Even the raid dungeon take over 4 hours (in fact, Desroth and I went to Club Cyber one time, he played in the same dungeon for 8 hours when I told him we should leave at 6pm. He said he was almost done but never was. Turn out that 2-hours thing was a joke.) and what rewards you there is a mystery to me. But in this case, you got 40 peoples working. Nice for teamwork, but some might be a pain-in-the-ass if they hardly does shit for you.

Item variety – This is probably stupid to say but… This is the worst part. Each weapon has their power, yes… But the majority of them are just stat-up and not magical enchantment during a combat. What I mean is that majority of these weapon does not got “Chance on hit – Fire Damage.”, just a ridiculous stat up. Oh joy, I played Rages of Mage and that was fun compared to item variety because each weapon ACT SEPERATELY. Basically the only minor notice is that the stat-up magical item are +1 or -1 in some stat. Come on, creator, I don’t want to play a game where everything rely on stat. I want weapons that have ability to damage more instead of giving me crap in stat I don’t need. Dungeon Siege 2 does this even better!

Graphic – Hmm… Nice graphic and all but what do you expect? I rather have Neverwinter Night graphic, since they seem more realistic. Everything in here looks so damn chucky and blocky. Your characters look like they wore a flat piece of armor that make YOU look like a warrior instead of a priest or a mage. And from time to time, most of these enemy are just recolor version of another monster else where. Plus, clipping is a bad thing. It isn’t exactly fair to run through your enemy because of this.

Experience – Too slow… just… to… level up! Seriously, even with quest, you are guarantees to spend as least 2 whole weeks playing just to get to level 40 or something. It took me 2 month just to reach level 40. Not only that, rested experience (that mean x2 more experience for you) was a nice addition but… Seriously, this is a method for the company to get more money.

Unbalance – Oh yeah, most games have this, why not World of Warcraft? Most people say that Warlock is the higher tier of the game. But when you got Rogue who spams a lot of stunning effect and damage over time, exactly how can you win when all of your action won’t work? Or if you are fighting a Warlock who always make you get feared and seduced while you are being whacked like idiots wearing pink underpants. The issue of this game lacks funniness when you give them powerful abilities that are easy to abuse.

Mount – It is nice to ride on them… But you can’t fight on them? Please. Take a look at medieval time horse-jousting. I can’t believe this. Sure, it may become abusive but I’m sure everyone want to fight on a horse.

Storyline – Cliché. Then again, most of them are but I like storyline involving development, not getting your puberty as you fight monster.

Magic – Okay, if you can chant a spell while moving in real life, why do we have to stand still like a tree and take damage? It’s called training to do that. Even if we did take damage, why do you have to delay it for playable character, but not your NPC enemies? As far as I am concerned, you don’t need to re-chant a spell if you take a damage, you can adept yourself to that.

Logical Reasoning – Okay, the horde and the alliance are in the war. At Booty Bay, you got the horde AND the alliance living together with cooperation. The big picture? Supposes that I don’t GIVE A FUCKING DAMN ABOUT A FUCKING WAR, how would I want to play WITH A FRIEND, WHO JUST PLAY AS FUCKING HORDE, WHILE I PLAY AS FUCKING ALLIANCE, just like Booty Bay? I’m sure that some of us do actually want to role-play with a free-care mind or a grudge but that does not give you the permission to force so and so to happen.

I understand that some of you do play World of Warcraft, but tell me this… Why do you claim it so addicting? Why do you play it so much, even if there are piss-crap things to do in the game? Why do you play it, when the storyline are just as fucked up as it is? Why do you play it, when there is always that possibility of wasting your entire life, playing a game that wastes your money over nothing, when there could be a better game then this? Why does it seem like people to pick World of Warcraft as the best topic to talk about it, when it seem like your soul is taken away from reality?

Clipping issue... (also trying to get to the AH would be a pain, you couldnt get close to it if you couldnt walk through people).

Your point is? Just make all of your allies clippable and your enemy unclippable. It's irraiting when someone attacks you while casting the spell and your spell FAILED because you aren't actually facing him/her at all. And when you try to use your wand and crap, they don't lock on... at all.

Originally posted by Desroth
The mount issue: The same as Archlord. I think it would be a way worse idea if they could fight from horses. Ganking would be worse if they could stay mounted and one shot you as they run by. Now I could see mount fighting in BG's, but not in the general world combat.

Sure, find a way to balance it out then. Make it so that they lose 75% of their stat while on horse/flying mount/whatever. I'm sure that they could have kept their HP and defense but reduce the amount of damages they could inflict then.

Even so at level 60~70, by the time you reach there, it gave you the feeling: "Game Over. You can now play with a non-linear storyline where you are going to achieve immortality. Oh yeah, you're wearing your underwear the wrong way and there is a pink elephant above your head."

And Desroth, just because talking to guildmates doesn't make it even more fun. I can fully counter that statement with internets because everyone (well, not everyone, but you get my point) is using it. Guild Wars use it. Archlord use it. KAL Online use it. Hero uses it. Doesn't make WoW any different.

The addiction part is all a cover up. If you pay to play, your going to play ALOT. Why pay for it and only play a hour a day when you can play for 3 hours, take a break and do stuff, then play again later?

Say a guy who play World of Warcraft for more than what I have total in time. Oh, not to mention that my brother is constantly talking to me about World of Warcraft AND my best friend. I doubt the addiction is a cover up. In fact, if you are not "addicted" as you said about it as being a cover up, I dare you to stop playing World of Warcraft for the durnation of time I been off at that one point.

Also, what pisses me off is the design of fighting. I mean, all you do is just attack just like in the previous animation of your attack (exactly like how Fire Emblem 9 does.) And is it just me or does people seem to NEVER noticed that they are fight the same enemy for a time until they leveled up?

Okay, your turn, Desroth. (Keep in mind, that I want to hear from YOUR view as well. Pretend this as a debate over World of Warcraft and try to convince me wrong as well. I STILL think World of Warcraft is bad.)

Personally, I could say that Seticus playing Fire Emblem alot makes him addicted to it, but frankly that is a piss poor argument to use for playing a game alot.

Here is the thing though... When I beat Fire Emblem 7, I'm done. When I beat Fire Emblem 8, I'm done. When I beat Fire Emblem 9, I'm done. Now since Fire Emblem 10 is coming out that can be based on Fire Emblem 9's save, I can say that I want to give all of the characters in 9 another chance so I can use them in 10. But the point is... When I'm done with a particular challenging game, I usually never play it... AGAIN.

Now on the OTHER hand, you can play World of Warcraft and see that there are no end to it. No "Hey, congratulation on beating the game. Here is the super ultra awesome cutscene to show you. Now you can go back and do side quest." Thus, I wouldn't play this since it lacks a proper storyline other then a cliche: "Be the best there is."

What kind of MMORPG is that?

Games like Katamari Damacy were overrated (the story was a little lacking and the graphics were really cartoony and blocky), but the game was still great to play.

How Katamari Damacy is overrated? Unlike most games, the companys want you to simply rolls thing up. Sure, it lacks a storyline, but it made up in gameplay. I don't even think Katamari Damacy is overrated, just a tad easy to play with.

The main draw I find in WoW that I dont find in Guild Wars are the end game instances. Albeit they are EXTREMLEY long, the people you do them with know what they are doing and how to play their characters to the best potential. I personally like that level of teamwork it takes to pull them off, and it is a sign that all your hardwork has rewarded you with being in the top bracket of players that may or may not have dedicated their lives to the game.

Guild Wars does exactly the same thing. The problem is that the level of teamwork can break apart if few players decided to be a bitch about everything. In order to reduce amount of bitchiness, you would need to kick them off and find someone else, and even that creates problem.

However, there are STILL people who are personality-wise/grammar-wise annoying. Take a look at kyle's post and you'll see what I mean. People are likely to create problem and doesn't help much when you think they are. (I do happened to recall that one of your raid pissed you off because of that one guy.) However, this point is moot since most MMORPG does let you have teamwork anyway.

Originally posted by Desroth
Same thing with Rage of Mages, me and you (Seticus) played it all night and all day one weekend, just leveling up with no storyline and the same repeating events, but we didnt get bored or annoyed with it.

We did get bored with it at some point. And we did get annoyed when one of our character died since you need to get all of your inventory back. THAT was a bitch for a warrior.

Originally posted by Desroth
And for another thing, there are normal non pvp servers which cut out ganking completley. You can play soley for PvE, which is better then the BG's.

And? This is pointless but... How do you get honor other then just fighting in the battleground? Or if you charged in the enemy's terrority and there's no one around but the guard? Not exactly realistic, isn't it? Even in PvE, you aren't going to have fun when all you do is fight the same enemy over and over. It's like beating a dead horse and find another alive and beat that horse death and doing it again. You're bound to run out of horses to beat with, in a barn anyway.

As for sheer scope and magnitude, WoW shines. If you see it, you can pretty much get to it somehow. I like that in a game, the ability to jump and run on roofs, swim, etc. Just makes it feel a little more real even if jumping from the zepplin to the ground would kill you in real life and not do a large amount of hp dmg.

Oh, I'm sure some kids, think to do that in real life. And as for running on roof, that is a moot point so that's not worth anything.

Swimming. Well, let try it this way. Just how OFTEN you fight underwater/sea? Again, a moot point since you're never likely to fight on the sea/underwater since there are not several quests that give you these.

Either both. I do understand where you are getting from though.

While I do prefer more "realistic" RPG game, jumping from 1,000,000 ft. tower and landing HARD on the ground should make you dead, NO MATTER what. Hell, I doubt anyone could survive a fall from a 3-story building. Even if they did, some of their bones have to be broken as well. I'll take swimming too, but if there is no underwater battle and just the lack of that, what the point in that?

Plus, where is the fun in item variety? I just don't like the same stat-up only property because you're actually focusing on armor then on stat-up effect. Dungeon Siege just grant you armor of different magical property and on the same armor/slightly less armor and that make it seem more fun since YOU get to choose which is better, not having the armor being better then the one you had before.

Oh yeah, I just hate the same animation over and over. While Guild Wars does that, it just seem much better then just motioning your hands together in a circluar pattern. Same thing with fighting, really.

So Nagis, yes, I do prefer more realistic-type of RPG game. I actually thought of one myself.

Originally posted by Rogue
Since he's a well-aged vampire, he's been made able to not only be super strong, but able to walk around in the daylight, oh and not to mention he's immortal and impervious to physical damage.

Problem there: You acted like vampire have huge advantage over human. Let me explains:

- Unlike James Bond, Lestat's weakness is that he know only how to rock and never fight much. That's right, he sings but hardly you see him fight. James Bond, on the other hand, uses steath and gadgets to assists his way out. He have been around with death and know when to kill several time.

- Physical damage? And you said vampire are immortal. Okay, maybe you are right about immortal part but you are wrong about them being unable to take damages. Dead wrong. Even in the movie, "Queen of the Damned", there are several vampire that are killed, even physical damages are included. In short, James Bond do have chance BECAUSE vampire are VERY much like human, just different in terms of lifestyle, not the whole ability-wise.

- Okay, now, my favorite part: Anyone could be super-strong. Spiritually, physically, or even logically. If you were Lestat and I was James Bond, you would dead the moment you touch me, Rogue. How? Gadgets. Does Lestat have any long-range weaponry to assist him? No. This proves what?

Simple. Lestat need to get close to his victim in order to kill him. Seeing how vampire aren't that super-powerful (in fact, they seem to have just about the same strength as their recent human form would.) when first started, this puts Lestat at a SERIOUS disadvantage. Why? To grants both side equality, both side must have an fair and equal power to them. In short... What mistakes you made here was this:

James Bond without his weapon/gadgets. = Dead 007.

If what you said is true, I, therefore, get to take thing away from Lestat that is equal to lack of James Bond's weapon choice, and I choose his vampire power.

Lestat without his vampire power = An ancient piles of ash.

Need any more information?

Prove it, that he is super strong. And before you proved it, he didn't killed the Queen of the Damned so that's kind of moot point. He needed other to work with.

Originally posted by Rogue
Lestat, unlike the other vampires of the Vampire Chronicles, can not only walk around in the day, but spontaneously regenerates when injured.

Your point? Unlike anything else, people kept changing the meaning of vampire over and over, it get to the point where people often kept pretending them to be the top tiers of the whole humanity of life. Guess what, they are made of bullshit in life because some vampires people want to make vampire sound cooler, which in reality, made it worse then the first idea of where vampire came from.

He's no Vlad III the Impaler. In fact, Vlad III started this whole immortality vampire and from there, people chooses to change the meaning of vampire.

Originally posted by Rogue
Also unlike the typical vampires of other stories, Lestat cannot be killed using a wooden stake to the heart, garlic, holy water, crosses, or silver. Simply put, none of the typical vampire wards work against the French vampire.

And unlike the typical of making up any kind of vampires of any other stories, you know how many of different vampires are there? Huh, what's that? Wait, make sure you count it right because there are just about as "infinite" as people could make them. Guess what? They're all "immortal" because people CHOOSE them to be. This give the idea that people want a character who will exists to live forever and never die. By giving him immortal power will be considered as cheap as hell since people do it every day. Why do you think Lestat is immortal? Why do you think every other vampire are immortal as well? And lastly, how come they NEVER die, when they are just like human?

All gadgets aside, none of them would be able to kill Lestat. He's been stabbed, cut up, fed to alligators, burned, and left for dead, but still has come back to rock out with his band.

Wow, weak argument there... James Bond had to fight daily with villians, had tortures before, and often got away in the nick of time (and usually cliche, might I add.) but compared to Lestat is stupid. Why? Lestat wasn't stabbed, cut up, fed to alligators and burned (I am not sure about the left for dead part) so this proves what? I don't even recalled several of those activity because people's ability to change the meaning of vampire.

You don't just stop being a vampire, hence why it's a curse to many of them who yearn to be in the sunlight and in Louie's case to see real colors.

This is a joke, right? Some vampires wanna-be acted like they are GOD. Instead of being "cursed", they want to be "blessed".

In conclusion, anyone who have immortality power are always cliche if they have no real story. In addition, people who loves vampire often changes the meaning of it, it became so poor that people want to promote how vampire usually do.

No. Just no. Someone made the first meaning vampire. You DON'T change whatever the original was. Since Vlad III was the first to be based off what was vampire was, someone killed it by making the meaning ridiculously powerful. It's like comparing assassin to knight. Assassin will win because they are trained to prevent the knight ever making the first move and if engaged in a direct combat, they can use the knowledge of the opponent's equipment to disable the knight from fighting.

Plus, if you applies this logic to EVERYTHING BATTLE, he would already won first place and thus become so ridiculously cheap that he shouldn't be here in the AT ALL. It's like comparing god to god where they will NEVER die.

I was with Lestat on winning but when you get carried off on how vampire are completely powerful in immortality, that's where I decided to go AGAINST Lestat and just explain how unfair when people pretended to act like vampire are 100% unkillable..

Here, let's try it this way. James get nothing and Lestat get his vampire power. You can use vampire's speed but it doesn't take much because Bond is TRAINED to kill (thus why reflexs are much valuable then just speed itself). You put this at 50-50 area, Cairoi. Now the reason you choose Lestat is that because he was "bad-ass", was he not? Just more bad-ass than James Bond, which make you pro-Lestat and hence, you need one anti-Lestat.

Blood sucking can be countered by back-headbutt. If your head was "holded" by the vampire's strength, it is possible to use other free of your body part to hit the hip side with your elbow or fist hit hard enough to get them stunned and Lestat's fighting doesn't seem so... well.

Wait, what kind of terminator are we talking here?

Usually, I thought that the terminator was supposed to kill John/Sarah, not the other way around. What I mean is that if we're talking about the guy who PROTECTING John/Sarah, it would be confusing (for me as least). I thought it was the guy who can morph into any human being and could only be stopped by that friggen liquid magna.

So is it Anrold or the other guy?

Eh... Whatever. Here is a short list:

Darth Vader:

- Force choke doesn't work on machine (Remember, even a rocket would only damages his skin/operating system by a little).
- Short melee range.
+ Lightsaber can damages the machine.
-/+ He can force press the Terminator down.
+? His armor can protect him.

Terminator:

- Uh... He can't be expect to fight if his machine part got fucked up.
+ Long range (gun, remember?).
+ Precise aim.
- Does not last long against laser.

This is anyone's battle.

Bond is trained to kill, but not so much hand to hand. I'd even imagine Lestat winning this fight because not only is Lestat completely resistant to normal damage, I think he probably has more combat prowess than Bond. Bond only has a few grapple moves last I checked, he mainly relies on guns, cars, and gadgets. But even with them, he'd kind of be outmatched.

True... But you forget.

There's your hand to hand combat. Hand to hand combat still works with him.

In short, Lestat and James Bond are just on the equal level now, with Bond only in the lead if you gave his speciality. So right now, you're actually putting vampire up to "inexperience" slayer (like Buffy kind but more on that later) but know martial art.

Plus, didn't he have a fist to fist fight against Alec in GoldenEye where he managed to overthrow Alec to the edge and thus:

"For England, James?"
"No... For me."

And drop him to his death?

Ah... I loved that word. Supernatural. Allow me tell you something, Sparda.

Since you said supernatural and conventional human weapons in the same sentence, let me point out something interesting. It's called zombie. That's right. Zombie. And they are considered to be supernatural as well (don't you forget that there are two kind of zombies. One of them come from science and the other come from magical power so let's focus on), so if you shot a zombie's head off with a shotgun, they'll go down (and if you try to counter it that magical zombie won't go down after a head shot, what else could they do other then just choke you to death?).

And... My favorite now... Okay, James Bond always come with a watch. In GoldenEye, the watch (Rolex or something) contained a laser that can cut steel very good. Now if you consider that laser physical harmful on a human body, Lestat WILL have his body part in half.

So? Buffy the Vampire Slayer often kick human's ass and yet she is skilled in killing vampire. Why should you make James Bond any different? As far as I AM concerned, vampires are STILL men.
