If you ever play it, that’s pretty much what it is.

Grind for levels, grind for money, grind for mats, grind honour, grind rep, then you’re allowed to grind some raids for epics!

My friend stopped playing when he said, aloud, “Sigh, time to grind my dailies. … wait a sec, did I just sigh about playing a game? Fuck this.” And quit on the spot. Deleted his five 70’s, never looked back. I didn’t delete my characters, but I just realised how boring it was, and stopped playing. Three months later I’m glad I did — more time, and just about every other game I play is so much more fun.

Although, TF2’s ‘unlockables’ make me raise my brows at their grind-like facilitation.

They want to avoid forcing DKs to choose between tank spec or DPS spec.
Now, I’d love to think WoW is a fun way to spend time (and money), but this kind of talk makes it sound like some really tedious office work.

So my 70 Warrior will be completely useless now? That’s awesome!

Well, DK was the common abbreviation for the original Death Knight hero unit used in WC3. But I’ll agree with you on one thin. As an outsider to WoW, having to wade through their rogue’s cant is usually an… “amusing” experience.

Xeno: Look at it this way. They’re already abbreviating “Death Knight” as “DK,” even thought it hasn’t even come out yet. I’m not against WoW-specific terminology, and I know enough WoW players to understand it . . . but they insist on abbreviating everything they can, even when it’s not necessary. Consequentially, the effect isn’t one of, say, a specialist talking about matters specific to his trade – instead it makes the whole article seem like it’s written in a sort of dialect.

Why the healer? I expect him to have some pretty cool drain health spells so they can all self heal. And if one is in trouble, another one will tank the enemies off him until he drains enough health to get back in the fight. Fun stuff!

Anyway, I’m sure if the Death Knight really is as described in that short sentence, he’ll soon be nerfed because there’ll be huge backlash once people figure that out…

…But I don’t care, I quit WoW for good months ago, honestly! Though I was never into PVP really. PVE tanking babeh.

“In terms of what role the Death Knights will play in battle, the developers said they didn’t want to punish the player based on what spec they choose.” like we do with all other classes! :D

…

I’ve totally abandoned this game. Chilton has proven that PvP is simply beyond him. “We’re not balancing for 1v1, that’s impossible.” So what are you balancing on. “Uhm, I dunno… 5v5?” Where exactly does that even take place? Almost all combat in the game, ever, is 1v1. “Uh, Arenas? Yeah that’s it!”

Thanks Chilton. You pigeonholed PvP, then balanced the game around it. And failed at that! It’s still no-where near balanced!

I’m sorry, I just find how badly WoW PvP is looked at both hilarious and infuriating.

As for the Death Knight, it’s not just a jack-of-all-trades class, it’s a ‘DPS tank! That can summon! With magic spells! Which won’t be overpowered at all!’ I hope anyone who’s still playing when the expansion comes out enjoys parties of four Death Knights and a healer.

Woe to players that PvP and don’t roll a death knight with this new expansion. They’re going to be way more powerful than the other classes, probably by design.

You were expecting maybe Quakespeak, or Mystspeak? It *is* a site devoted to all things World of Warcraft…
