What is Blizzard doing to a once great game?Follow

Decided to start a Troll Hunter, I have quite a few high level Alliance but nothing over 30 horde side, except a DK, so the idea is to experience some of the horde areas. I get to the last couple of quests to get the medallion and pick out of the cave in the starting area, approach the cave a vile familiar up ahead so kill him and start to move forward, familiar to my right and one to the left go between them thinking I will agro one of them, nope get through. Enter the cave and there is a felhunter so kill him, move forward and another felhunter, then I take notice of the tooltip for him, he is yellow, all the mobs are now yellow, no red mobs anywhere, even the boss guy to get the medallion is now yellow. I checked the Bloodelf starting area, no hostile mobs there anymore.

Now I can understand Blizzard want to make the game easier for new players, but this is starting to get to easy, I enjoy a bit of a challenge while levelling and learning to dodge mobs is part of learning the game, my level 80 Night Elf Druid even did the run from Menthril Harbor to Ironforge at level 12 and helped out countless others trying the same run while questing throughout the wetlands.

Well at least the rest of Durotar has red mobs.

Simple 'fix'. Skip an area and go do harder quests.

Ok guys, it wasn't meant to be a complaint, though the title was a little over the top and I could have worded it a little differently. Things have changed since Wow started, there have been a lot of great changes and after trying a few other games I still find Wow to be the best, some of the things that I enjoyed have been adjusted to make the game easier, thankfully we can still enjoy those if we like or bypass them, class quests being one example and of course I could have just worked my way through the cave killing mobs as I went. Hopefully they will only adjust the starting areas, looking forward to keeping an eye out for the elven patrol in the Barrens and of course the Son of Arugal in Silverpine Forest.

And don't forget the 34 elite wandering Forest Protector in Ashenvale. They remind me, uncomfortably, of the Fel Reavers.

If your biggest complaint about WoW is that it now only takes 15 minutes to go from 1st-10th level instead of 16 minutes then I think everything is still ok. ;-P

OH EM GEE!

They made the L1-6 experience easier for newbies.

The game is not static, it changes.
You may not agree with the changes, but Blizzard makes decisions based on how many new subscriptions they can get. The starting level area change was made so as to not intimidate new players. How would you feel with absolutely no MMO experience, jumping into a game where monsters kill you repeatedly before you have fully figured out how the interface works? The change just means you will encounter hostile creatures at level 6 instead of 4.
If you do not agree with the changes, you have the option to stop giving them your money and go play some other game.


If a game truly sucks, it will die. Seeing as WoW is growing, I think Blizzard knows what they are doing, at least for the most part.

When I first started, I ran around spamming frost armor, wondering why the wolves outside ironforge weren't dying.

That is all.

Yeah, those were the good old days...wait a tick, no they weren't - that SUCKED!!! >_<

They really went toooo far huh.....



But look! A nerf!



And then you see this..

It's a buff
They used to have a higher chance to have glancing blows (which do reduced damage) and I think they had a higher reduction in damage too.

So melee priest/mage/lock GO!

They're destroying the game by not adding a boyscout to help my aging warrior cross the street.

This thread delivers.
