World of Warcraft is a horribly bland EverQuest clone whose setting can best be described as high-pop culture reference. It is extremely slow-paced for a western MMORPG. After you’re done with a tedious trek towards the level cap (seeing as the end-game content is the only content the developers want you to see) you’ll have to start grinding laughable amounts of gold for your mandatory mounts. Don’t even get me started on the shitty community.
The easiest solution would probably to just multiply the probability problems out of the game. An attack has 85% chance to hit? Multiply the damage of the attack by 85% and make the chance to hit 100%. An item makes you dodge 25% of the time? Make it instead reduce incoming damage by 25%.
Typically true probability problems are introduced to give more players a chance at winning. You won’t see these elements in any proper games which uses a rating system, such as chess.
I don’t see the DA gameplay being well tailored for multiplayer, not for co-op or even pitting players against each other. It’s about planning ahead, micromanaging and tactics, which I’ve never seen mix well with multiplayer. The ability to completely pause the game while giving your party commands further reinforces this point.
That you will be judged for throwing around your inside jokes isn’t subjective. It’s cold, hard fact. Consider my post a public service announcement, if anything.
Using internet jargon in any context at all is juvenile and the only thing it achieves is making the author look like a tool. It helps weeding out the ones who are morons from those who are less of a moron.
Using real life words all the time on the internet is juvenile and the only thing it achieves is making the author look like an elitist.
Real life words. You are kidding me, aren’t you? And I’m coming off as an elitist for not spouting shitty little inside jokes in every which direction, too? Have some fucking decency.

It doesn’t matter if it’s against the rules or not, internet lingo and *chan jargon makes you look like a tool no matter where you use it. Even on the *chans. Go ahead and embarrass yourselves, though.
I was very positively surprised. The riff was new to me, and it wasn’t half bad either. The vocals are butter smooth and have just the right pitch for the genre. 8/10
1/10 his voice is way too high pitched, I mistook him for a female vocalist. Far too high pitch for fluid and beautiful music. The actual music follows through with an even higher pitch and screeches in your ears.
The only innovative idea I can see Blizzard having given to the genre is units levelling up, and even that I can’t say for sure if it is right. And now they’re making yet another RTS with nothing new or interesting to the genre, and I can see people buying it, too.
Personally I prefer RTS games such as World in Conflict and Dawn of War 2, with no base building, but instead focus on maneuvering on the battlefield and microing. Instant action, no turtling.
