  • How the World of Warcraft Talent Tree Really Should Work

    I’ve discussed what I would do to change the way classes work in WoW. Now, I want to discuss how the talent tree should be altered. First let me say that the so-called talent tree being introduced in Mist of Panderia is a complete joke. It’s not a “tree” per se. It’s picking similar abilities…

  • World of Warcraft Needs A Massive Revamp of Classes

    World of Warcraft originally allowed for interesting specs to come about as a result of a flexible talent tree. When Cataclysm came out, it destroyed the flexible system by forcing players to choose a talent tree from the beginning. Supposedly, the idea was to help “new players” in creating a more focused talent tree and…

  • The Diablo 3 Fallout and It’s Influence over World of Warcraft

    I think many people knew this would happen. Once Diablo 3 launched, much of the World of Warcraft had vanished. Part of that was positive. For instance, more ore, herbs and other materials. Part of it was bad: less (good) people for LFR. The first two days after D3, I noticed that the queue times…

  • World of Warcraft: What to Do While Waiting for Instances

    Queue times in the World of Warcraft are extremely painful. I know in the past I would just run around in a circle in Dalaran for a queue to pop. Since I no longer play on a PVP server, I’ve found other activities that are far more productive. First, most people will say that while…

  • Arcane Mage Love

    Right now, I noticed that the players remaining in the World of Warcraft are not so good. Lots of fails with LFR. I suspect that it’s all related to Diablo 3’s release. As a result, I decided to focus on my mage as she’s one of the few remaining non-85’s I have left on Saurfang.…

  • World of Warcraft LFR Improvements

    Wowcrendor has a great video on LFR summed up. He only spends 30 (or so) seconds on the topic (which is a parody) but he’s managed to capture part of the essence (or rather frustrations) of LFR. While I do think LFR has been a positive boost to World of Warcraft, it still stinks of…

  • If World of Warcraft Was the Titanic

    and I was on the only life raft (with a power motor) and saw the entire WoW community floating in the stream screaming to be saved, I would take out a big book and start reading it while powering my boat in the opposite direction. That’s how I view the WoW community at large. I…

  • World of Warcraft and Eliminating the Kick

    I think the LFG and LFR options for kicking people should be eliminated or much more moderated. I got kicked from a group obviously for probably not pulling the DPS despite the fact that I was simply trying to get VP and gear. The only thing I did was receive a Maelstrom Crystal when I…

  • Lost Interest in WoW Today

    I was pretty pumped in getting back into World of Warcraft since last week’s project had finished. However, for whatever reason, something just clicked with me tonight and I felt really bored with it. I had been reading various forum posts and youtube videos that weren’t the most positive. Not sure if that killed my…

  • The Person Possibly Responsible for World of Warcraft’s Subscription Loss Has Been Identified

    Blizzard posted a “post mortem” on the dungeon and raid encounters for Cataclysm. Outside of the confused, constant redesign of the talent tree and character classes by Ghostcrawler (who, imo, is also partly to blame for various problems in Cataclysm), Scott “Daelo” Mercer might be considered one of the people responsible for World of Warcraft’s…
