no it doesnt make sense, and the night elves dislike the high elves you can see their ruins in azhara, later some of them went to Lodaeron because the NE's wanted to become hippy loving druids, blood elves dislike everybody, betrayed by the alliance and mistrusted by the horde. Blood elves are the remnants of high elves but at this point the NE bore them no ill will after what happened to Quel Thalas.

 

[Meantime]

Everyone wishes to look pretty and now the Horde have that option.

Not true, I made a special effort to make my character as ugly as possible, and I'm on the alliance side

I take it you are a female dwarf?

 

[SaitoH]

No, what makes sense is that I can't play the game anymore until I wait for said mods to get fixed.

Can't play? Are you crippled?

 

[Meantime]

I take it you are a female dwarf?

No, but I agree they can be quite horrific

 

[D2M15]

Blood Elves = Horde Ehh? Didn't see that one comming.

There's a few very, very bitter Blood Elf NPCs on Horde quest lines - IIRC there's one in the Stonetalon camp who wants you to murder the Cenarion Circle botanists at the summit.

 

[Marmaduke]

The pictures have been confirmed from one of my sources, who also happens to lurk here on these forums. Those elves (high or blood I have no idea) are a playable race in the expansion.

 

[vitaflo]

The Blood Elves would definitely balance that out. Everyone wishes to look pretty and now the Horde have that option.

Not me. Not anyone in my guild. Our entire guild was founded on the notion of trying to find the ugliest, most evil looking characters in the game, and acting as such. I never understood the fascination with the alliance. Why would you want to play the "good" guys when it feels so good to be evil?

 

[SaitoH]

Horde aren't evil though.

So which one of you "evil" guys play as the Tauren? They are arguably the most noble race in the entire game.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Can't play? Are you crippled?

Crippled is pretty acurate. I'm crippled by having to deal with the default UI which blows when compared to what I had before.

I don't understand why this idea is so foreign to you.

People become accustom to things and then when those things change - it's a turn off since I can't perform commands as quickly as I could before.

 

[Meantime]

As a mage I find it completely insufficient. I need access to more buttons.

I'm a mage using Insomniax compilation with a few other bits and pieces. It took me about 30 mins to fix my UI after the 1.8 patch. I absolutely agree that the default UI isn't good enough.

 

[MrAngryFace]

your not piloting a gundam, its freaking wow, come on.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

your not piloting a gundam, its freaking wow, come on.

I don't care to have to scroll through button bars or key over to them in order to cast spells. I really don't care what you think about it MAF.

 

[DEO3]

I must say, I find having blood elves as one of the new races a bit dissapointing. They're just too similr to Night Elves in both appearence and architecture. Granted, they are both elves so I guess you'd expect similarities, but that doesn't change the fact that they're disapointing as a new race, since they won't exactly be new.

If this is true and blood elves are going to be one of the new playable races, then chances are the other new playable race will be an existing race as well, but what other existing race could fit with the alliance (assuming horde will get the blood elves)? Goblins, though technicly neutral, are more alligned with the horde (operate thier airships, etc.). Naga definatley aren't alliance worthy (though having underwater citys/zones would be cool). Centuars might work, since they're tribal and they could just make an alliance friendly tribe - like they did with trolls for the Horde. Dragonkin, no. Elementals, no. Demons, no...

 

[MrAngryFace]

Shut up spiderman.

 

[Brandon F]

It would be really funny if Blizzard screwed continuity and made the new race PROTOSS!

 

[MrAngryFace]

I love that, to death.

 

[vitaflo]

From the story line perhaps, but honestly, who follows that? I just created the most evil looking tauren I could and I gank alliance at will. If it's red it's dead.

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Ive never been a mage before; do they just have a lot more spells? I use Perl unitframes for my WoW, which have not been broken by any patches yet. But other than that, not really anyting else, and my priest seems to have enough buttons for everything, and they are only the ones provided by Blizzard.

I use flexbar, it worked up until this last patch. It's other mods that have been broken in the past though, along with some others with this current patch.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Blood Elves WILL balance out the population. In fact, it may make horde numbers more numerous than the alliance. When the expansion hits, prepare to see lots of dancing naked female blood/high elves in Ogrimmar :lol

That is exactly why Blood Elves are the new horde race. Not only are they stupid ass elves that people love to play, but they smolder with generic rage.

 

[Leatherface]

bah, I hope thats not the new race for Horde. I was hoping for Goblins or Centaur.
:rock:

 

[sprsk]

hmmm maybe centaur is the new alliance race?

 

[Leatherface]

hmmm maybe centaur is the new alliance race?

I wouldn't complain!

 

[Pimpbaa]

Seems to be lots of those centaur like creatures hanging around with the night elves, but I can't imagine them being a playable race. Mainly due to the fact they can't wear pants (no leg armor).

 

[Mzo]

Will I uncancel my account to play it? Only if there's something for level 40s to do.

This is pretty funny.

 

[DEO3]

Yeah, I was thinking this too. As it is now, any piece of armor can be scaled to fit a particular race, but that wouldn't work for the Centaur since they don't share the same body shape as all the other races (4 legs/feet vs 2 legs/feet).

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

why would they add centaurs? that would be like adding gnolls or murlocks or furbolgs(sp?)

they are just a filler race to add some variety to what you have to kill.


I am praying that horde get ogres. That would fucking rock, they would be casters on par with gnomes along with being fucking huge and scary. However, they really need to allow an additional race to be druids, i never made one on horde cause i didnt feel like making a tauren = /

 

[borghe]

This is pretty funny.

I used to be the exact same way. As a casual gamer my characters usually never get any significant levels. I am stuck in the same dozen or so zones (typically) in an MMOG and want some new content to give my low level access to.

I don't think it's wrong for people to want this, and traditionally they have been given it usually by the second expansion or so of a game.. but I certainly see the unintentional humor in the post.

my guess is this poster's account will remain cancelled. and in WoW for some reason (over other games) I have to agree that it isn't at all ahrd to level. if his 40 wants to see new content, get a level or 3.

If a 3rd party mod is breaking after a patch has you posting stuff like "can't play" and "quit" then maybe you need to reassess why you are currently playing. Because It sounds to me like you're just trying to find something to complain about.

*shrugs*

PS. If the UI mod you like isn't being updated promptly after a patch, try another one. There are tons of great mods out there that do the same thing.

PPS. Default UI supports 6 bars and never breaks. ^_~

 

[BenT]

PPS. Default UI supports 6 bars and never breaks. ^_~

But oh wait, it sucks in comparison to good mods. ~_^

 

[SaitoH]

Mayhaps, but It never break and thus can never become a game breaking issue.

=P

 

[krypt0nian]

Mayhaps, but It never break and thus can never become a game breaking issue.

=P

But many feel even though it never breaks, its not worth playing the game with. Why are some people so ignorant to this?

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Not planning on reopening my account for the expansion. It could happen though. Couple friends have started playing again recently.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

new horde race.

Hmmm. Let's see. I'm not currently playing because of the exact issue I laid out. Why you feel the need to even comment on my opinion, and the reason I am not playing anymore because of it, is dubious to say the least.

You like the game. Fine. You don't have a problem with patches. Fine.

I have my own prerogative. I really don't give a shit about your opinion on whether the game is playable or not for me with my broken mods. Last I checked, it was me playing the game here on my computer - and not you. What you think about my said prerogative doesn't mean diddly to me.

PPS. Default UI supports 6 bars and never breaks. ^_~

Yipee skippy. I have to use extra keystokes or mouse clicks to get to said bars. It's not good enough for me.

 

[SaitoH]

Not playing, or quit? The issue isn't whether you like, or hate the game, it's quitting because of a UI mod breaking. That's what I'm having difficulty accepting, and what you implied initially.

Also, you do realize that default UI can display 6 bars? Your talk about extra keystrokes and mouseclicks is suggesting otherwise ...

Again, some feel the game is UNPLAYABLE with the default setup. I tend to agree. Its crap with UI's. Utter crap.

You don't agree? Yay.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

My thoughts exactly.

It's the tedium of having to wait for said mods to get fixed that makes it irritating for me to give up. I have plenty of great games to play that don't break on me with updates and also don't charge me monthly either.

 

[Draft]

There are some things the default UI cannot handle, period. 40 man raiding? For-fucking-get about it.

 

[Pimpbaa]

My thoughts exactly.

But the game isn't breaking, it's the mods. UI mods need to be updated due to major changes to how the UI works in the last patch (to use less memory).

 

[border]

No, what makes sense is that I can't play the game anymore until I wait for said mods to get fixed. I use quite a few, and invariably at least a few are broken.

It's irritating to say the least. I can't play until they are fixed and sometimes they take quite a while to get updated - only to have them broken once again.

Obviously Blizzards mod technology is not very robust.

I use CTMod and it was updated the same day as the last patch. Quit using shitty mods.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

I use CTMod and it was updated the same day as the last patch. Quit using shitty mods.

QFMFT.

I use Scrolling Combat Text, Quickloot, ChatScroll, Shardtracker, and various other mods along with CTMod. The ONLY thing I need to update after a patch is CTMod and CTRaidAssist (damn near essential). It's available right there that same day.

He is the first person I've ever heard of quiting an MMO because of issues with PLAYER MODS (read: Non-Blizzard) not updating along with a patch.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

The mods issue is simply the straw that broke the camels back. I've grown tired of the repetitive game play mechanics as well.

You guys can love your WoW all you want. No one said you couldn't. I'm taking a hiatus to paying to play my games.

But the game isn't breaking, it's the mods. UI mods need to be updated due to major changes to how the UI works in the last patch (to use less memory).

Thank you captain obvious. You know what I meant by what I posted. I know the game, proper, isn't broken. Thanks for the heads up.

What is broken, or is constantly being changed/fixed, is the mod technology. It's obviously not a standard protocol that can be written to, with changes made to the underlying technology being transparent to the developer with patches.

I use CTMod and it was updated the same day as the last patch. Quit using shitty mods.

This is a wash and you know it. Name me one mod that has never had to be updated. I am confident they all have at one point or another because of a patch.

 

[epmode]

This is a wash and you know it. Name me one mod that has never had to be updated. I am confident they all have at one point or another because of a patch.

Are you purposely misunderstanding? CTmod does everything you're looking for and the 1.8 update was ready the instant the patch went live.

I've found that the best addons are always ready with an update when it's required. Chances are, if you're using a addon that breaks after a patch and isn't updated in a day or two, you're using the wrong addon.
