A lot of games finished in a hour or two after 2-3 weeks.<br /><br />But four things I dont miss, Heal aggro on mass packs of elites, all you could do was heal very litely while everyone yelled heal the tank and then once I got heal aggro i would mass spam for a few seconds before just being swamped. It also chained in weird ways. Heal a rogue and then find 30 seconds later find out you just got aggro from half of the Alliance base. <br />The decision, its midnight, should I stay for the win or sleep.<br />The looting, where honor or rep? cant remember went to the person who looted. Omg heal the warrior, nobody ever heals, you heal the warror and see. Warrior has looted,looted,looted,looted.<br /><br />Lastly and again this was probably realm specific. We used to have gold farmer games where you would join, 1/4 of your team would race off to the mine/herb spawns. Loot and then leave the game within 5 minutes.Ngitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526961657299848611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-55977295347313328502009-10-05T17:16:50.708-05:002009-10-05T17:16:50.708-05:00Warlocks did have some huge problems back then.

Blaugh.<br /><br />PvP these days, objectively speaking, probably is better balanced and rewarded. However it is also better suited to the preferences of people other than me. :(Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-65579341086225545472009-10-05T10:04:56.691-05:002009-10-05T10:04:56.691-05:00I really didn't like PvP back in those days, s...I really didn't like PvP back in those days, so most of my memories of really early PvP are bad.<br /><br />Things like not being about to get Soul Shards from players. Or being rez'd in a BG and having to resummon my demon.<br /><br />I hated the "seduce / nuke" PvP style because it was nearly impossible to pull off as an Alliance Warlock. 30 second Will of the Forsaken was nuts.<br /><br />That said, I grew to enjoy PvP. First on my Warrior (ended up getting rank 10 - was 1 week shy of rank 11) and later on pretty much all my characters (Holy Paladin is still the worst amusingly enough).<br /><br />I remember in AV everyone yelling to kite the giant Elemental into Vann's room so the NPCs could kill it. I don't even remember the Alliance guy ever getting summoned - though I do have memories of us escorting the Druids to do the summoning, watching them break the stalemate and then getting slaughtered.<br /><br />PvP these days is in a much better place. I prefer the faster BGs. Wintergrasp is amusing, but still too laggy. That said - Blizzard should give us the old AV back for a short time. Maybe a 4 week period so we can all remember what it was like. My biggest complaint about AV after the changes is that there is actually very little PvP involved.Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.com
