What bugs you the most?Follow

I'm guessing there's more to the map than what we can see. If you went west from kalimdor or east from the eastern kingdoms you'd probably end up on a completely different land mass.

Well it's not remotely a game mechanic, and has more to do with me than the game, but as someone whose only other experience with MMOs was two years of Star Wars Galaxies, every time someone uses the abbreviation "AH" my brain says, "Anchorhead" instead of "Auction House." Drives me nuts. :P



I think that it's probably going to stay this way for a while... otherwise they'd have to program in a flight path from every flight master to every other flight master, instead of just including the few that are already there and have been there since the game started. How many flight masters are there just on one continent for one side? Say 15? That's like 200 possible travel paths. Per side. Per continent. So like 1200 travel paths to program altogether.

I don't plan on seeing that happen anytime soon (I'd love to be wrong, though).

Blink. This game has been out for about three years and there are still problems with being able to blink across different textures, bridges, stairs and other parts of the landscape that you don't have a problem walking over. Although sometimes you can blink through objects that you would normally have to walk around, like a small boulder for instance.

It has gotten better over time, but there are still problems.

I tried that this morning, dragging his invisible self back to where he was still standing, but it was those ethereals in Netherstorm near Area 52 and there were 3 more of his buddies around the corner and they jumped me. I managed to kill one, looted it then ran away. And moved to another area to fight.

Sure, but you won't find the explanation very satisfying. It's the same reason there will probably never be flying mounts in the pre-BC territories.

Rendering.

There's a big chunk of "land" between Ungoro and Feralas that doesn't actually exist on the server. Your character can't "fly over" it because it simply isn't there. To make a new flight path would take a pretty large task force of landscape artists and renderers a costly chunk of time.

Spatial relationships in the game are a carefully crafted illusion. You can't always get there from here.

I agree that the rendering aspects of redesigning FP's wouldmake the programmers life a nightmare. When they changed the waiting time on Zepplin's and Boat's i was most happy, in keeping with the "easier leveling 1-60" theme, they could make flight paths the same (you see the first 5-10 seconds, skip to little red flight path sequence, then the last 5-10 seconds).

Still enough time to get in nature break, nicotine fix, drink or W/E you do, come back and away you go. I wouldnt want to guess the amount of time out of a /played that was spent flying here and there handing in quests, picking up items and the rest.

The one thing that bugs me the most is the bug rate of the bloody dragonmaw transporters (or whatever their names are). They make the quest "The not-so-friendly skies" a waste of time. Especially when one bugs up by not coming down when I shoot him but then deciding to come back when I'm killing a different one!

how /ignore will block the multiple spammed tells from someone but not thier spamming group invites

i hate when mobs lag out or are bugged and attack you but you have no clue where they are, OR if theyre standing 20 yards away but their melee attacks still register, i got killed by a mage mob that lagged out and he continued to kill me while i was in ghost form...

I want Vanish to work...

The bug where Cold Blood doesnt go away!

What bugs me the most is racial comments in wow. I can't stand playing with people that feel the need to say/yell/type the N word in this game. Just because you are safely behind a computer screen doesn't mean you can be a bigit. Sack up and say it in front of someone in real life so you get your teeth knocked out, or shut your mouth.
