If you don't like the game, go play E.T.

Have fun.

Someone sounds angry <w<

Read your journal as if was someone else who wrote it instead of yourself :3

I know what you mean XD
But people know I never mean harm, Im not bashing the game.

Cause if a game can stay up for 10y, their doing a good job, I wont deny that.
As you can see other have replied with what actually interested them. No anger in it.

The thing is I'm tryin to find something fun for me cause I'm doing it for my boyfriend, he already does a lot for me so is only fair for me to be open to what he likes.

Just everything feels so slow.

So is really to help me enjoy it so i can enjoy with the BF.

I did that to make a point, if you type your thoughts without any emote or facey, the default delivery of the message is "angry". As you said I "sounded" angry, but nothing I wrote is necessarily angry, it was just straight to the point for: "If you didn't find enjoyment in the game by yourself, I'd suggest to give up on it instead of asking others to give you reasons to like it".

I insist on you to read your journal like it was not yours, and tell me it does not "sounds" angry and bitchy :3

Well the thing is I got an exemple for you.

I used to not like Borderlands. Even hated it.
Until I found something fun that I enjoyed. And is like that with every game, until I find something interesting I wont be into it, thus why I ask.

You're comment because of the "straighfoward wording", not cause of the lack of emotes.
I know it can sound bitchy, but people kinda know me for not being one. I mean fuck, your talkin to the guy that made a walking dick animation. If that means anything. XD

As for enjoyment all Ive been doing so far is quest, cause there doesnt seem to be anything else I can do.

To round up what everybody else has mentioned I can say that the success of that game is the social interaction in a fantasy world that already had a big fan base and extended lore with a previous trilogy of games. The elder scrolls online tried to capitalize in the same way, but kinda failed because it's not an innovative concept anymore.

If you played the Warcraft games, you come with the lore part, fascinated about exploring the lands and cities that you saw before, now as yourself instead of predefined hero, and get the chance to interact with those old heroes as you progress in the game.

If you don't come with the previous games' fascination, you still have the social interaction part. So instead of doing quests that you don't need to read into (as you get markers "go there" and do something X ammount of times) focus on the social interaction of the game: duel other players for self pride, go to dungeons with them for team work, and go battlegrounds for pvp stress. Join a guild and see what kind of people they are, you'll find a bunch of closed circles, and a few that will be willing to interact with you and teach you about the game since they have accomplished everything and have nothing else to do than jump around in a main city aimlessly.

Some interactions might be limited because of the trial, I dunno. If that happens then the developers suck at making it catchy for new players, and if you don't like what the trial gives, then I think it's just fair to leave the game. Play what you find fun.

Didnt ESO kinda failed because of the monthly the subs and the Buggy game that it was at the time?
That what I heard of it.

I played the previous warcraft game, so I only have a slight knowledge of the lore. But nothing worth to write home about.

And I know is fair if I don't enjoy it to leave, but I want to give it a fair chance thus why I made this journal. And quite a few people say only the end game is interesting if it is true, I would never know.

As for them sucking at making it interesting for new player I wouldn't know XD.
All I know where I'm at is empty as fuck.

WoW always was a buggy game, they went fixing things on the fly as they found players abusing the bugs. Skyrim is one of the most successful games in the last years, and is one of the buggiest messes ever, that took years of patches official and unofficial to get things to work a bit better and even today it has tons of problems. Also WoW is subscription, you buy the game AND keep paying for it forever.

Money is not the issue for my case

Im an avid wow player. And mostly for me it's the lore and story behind everything that happens (the universe and lore in this game is HUGE and immersive ) and being able to play and interact with other people via guilds and stuff.

I wouldn't base your expectations on low lvl leveling, it sucks when you are first starting out because of the lack of heirloom gear and other things to help you along. So unless you purchase a boosted toon which will push your character to lvl 90 (at $60 to do so ) the first time lvling will be rather long but at least you will not have seen all the quests and done them like 100 times before!

But once you hit lvl cap and are able to do some endgame content, it is really fun! There is also the pvp part of wow but it is much harder than pve.

All in all the game needs to be experienced more then the first 20 lvls to get a scope of everything you can do :3

Sadly Im stuck to level until I decide if the game is worth the money or not, or even my time for that matter. So my only will only be to level 20 and wont be able to go higher or do much honnestly.

As my access to the game is restricted, so I can only base my judgement on it and nothing to be fair.

And I wont use that 60$ booster like holy fuck.
That shit expensive.

It's more finding what grabs your interest. Whether it be PvP, harcore PvE in dungeons/raids, collection/achievements, or so on. The lvl 20 cap I feel doesn't do too much justice, giving you what, basic mount, 2 batlegrounds. and 4 dungeons, one of those dungeons commonly voted amongst players as the worst created, and on top of that, actually finding a class you really enjoy can take a bit sometimes.

Honestly, in my opinion, it's not so much the game itself you'll enjoy by itself, it's the shenanigans you can get up to with friends. Just rolling around questing to level or an older area for a laugh, dueling each other, raiding, arenas, or just chilling around capital cities. It's an MMO that's better with friends. Inside jokes will be made, laughs to be had, etc.

Do I even have access to dungeon cause I dont think I do?
The game restriction trial players so I can only base my judgement from the first 20 levels.

Be it fair or not, there not much I can do from there.
Well Ill be joining my BF group of friend who apparently wants to know me since we started dating, but right now is about me experiencing the game before anything else.

As for class, I took rogue cause I had no choice really, the only one that seemed interesting was the death knight but I cant access them in the trial. So kinda forced myself to pick a class that I didn't care much for.

The social bit is also a bit hard for me since I'm a big introvert.

You do get access to dungeons on trial account, you're just 1 level short based on the level you listed (level 15 is when the dungeon finder unlocks, giving you access to Ragefire Chasm and The Deadmines initially, then Shadowfang Keep and Wailing Caverns shortly after) And yeah, I know what you mean about the Death Knight being locked off, yet that's not just the trial that locks it off frustratingly, you've got to have a character at lvl 55 before you can even play a Death Knight, which is kinda stupid really

Ok yea I have access to dungeon just did one.
And they have removed the requirement.

Honestly, I played for the people and the roleplay. The grind to max level, getting the best gear/mount/minipet, completing dungeons and achievements, none of that ever really mattered to me. I found it boring and tedious, the beauty of the landscapes and music only held my attention for a short time before I grew bored and frustrated.

Personally, I feel wow is a group game. It's lots of fun with friends, joking around and having a good time. On your own its a shit game. Guild wars 2 has struck me as a much better single player(you can play alone) mmorpg. I play it often, and have a level 60, which is 20 levels below max.

If your so wants you to become integrated in wow, I strongly suggest the two of you play together as low levels and quest your way up the ranks. It's much better that way, IMO.

I hope this helps. ^^ Good luck.

Was it the grinding that made you frustrated or something else?

I have GW2 don't really play it much though. Something kinda turn me off from the game.
So I can't really go back on it and enjoy it like I used too.

Is mostly for him that I'm trying to get into WoW.

No. My friends would help me by running me through dungeons or helping me through hard parts of quests.

I'm on a break right now due to personal feelings. Some things happened between me and some of the best friends I ever had, so playing wow is..bittersweet, for me. It hurts, but at the same time I can remember those friends and try to honor them and what they taught me.

Depression from the incident has really settled into my life despite it being over two years ago now, so I take a lot of long breaks from the game. Of course it doesn't help that I can barely afford the subscription, but still. XD

Really, once you get to higher levels and buy heirlooms, leveling gets much much easier. With a full set iof heirlooms, you can increase your xp gain by 45% and pretty much 3-hit-kill whatever you touch(except bosses). Then you have more time for whatever else draws you into the game, be it learning lore, pvp, hunting through the armour/weapons until you have the perfect matching set, rp, hunting down all the minipets, collecting mounts...most people won't care you're not max level. Those who do care are either 1) cruel or 2) are thinking o the allegedly super fun endgame content. I don't have a max level, so I've never seen said content. XD

Oh...sorry didnt mean to bring any ill emotions, my apologies.

I heard of the sex town or RP, which I think ill avoid to not be traumatize. XD
And havent seen much people if not only a handful of them that I could count on one hand.

Really felt empty.

It's alright. The thoughts come up with little to no prompting at all, its not your fault. ^^

As far as emptiness goes, depending on the server you choose, you could go days without seeing anyone. My main server is crowded to hell, you can't go five minutes without stumbling across a player.

For the sex town...yes. That does exist, mainly goldshire on moonguard and wyrmrest accord. I do strongly advise staying away from that place because it can be very traumatizing. Rp in general usually isn't, and if you find a group of people you get along well with and know the rules of rp well(typically no godmoding, no powerplaying, no characters related to main lore figures and so on) then doing can be really fun! If you're into that sort of thing, of course.

Im not to big on RP to be honnest.

That's perfectly fine. ^^

I do hope my views/opinions have helped you somewhat, and I hope you enjoy the time you spend in the game, even if it's a pain in the butt.

Well it will help me make my decisions on everything.

Think of it like Homestuck
If you were there from the beginning you'd understand the fuss

Trying to get into it now is like starting a REALLY long book from the beginning, that only people who were there from the very beginning understood

It's not fun for a newcomer
I just broke the habit and I suggest you don't start it

Honestly too much about homework nor did I ever really see anyone talk bout it. ^^
To my knowledge is a weird webcomic.

Do you mean about the expansions?
Well for me is more "i can get to experience more in a shorter run".
Just I'm starting out and is really hard to say "yay is fun"

And I'm not looking turning into a wow nerd and waste my whole life on it XD
It would only be for a few occasion hen me and bf want to game together.

Also depends what race you are playing, some of the starting zones are pretty bland. Once your done those, depending where you decide to quest, you'll find more interesting things to do. Also find out if you like quest grinding or doing dungeons. Each expansion had its own perks. Also the game is much more fun when playing with friends.

Well I'm a blood elf, the one with the weird eyebrows.

I don't think I have access to the dungeon since I'm just playing the trial version and have none of the expansions. Well I only played it on a few bit with the BF. So been testing it mostly by myself.

Have to say that Worgen, Goblin, Troll and Pandaren have some of the more interactive begining quest lines. Also Night elves have weird long eyebrows too XD. Though playing horde, the blood elf starting zone is usually where I like to level. What server are you playing on?

Oh I didnt know XD
I was forced to pick horde since the boyfriend is in it and the whole group of friends. XD
I hate the starting it really feel like a cookie cutter world and environment, elf forest blablabla....

Is like come on, be original. -.-

Servers....american?
Cause I didnt get to choose anything else.

like server name :P, I play on US server as well, mostly on Deathwing and kil'Jaeden

How do I find that out?

Is shadowmoon one of them?
I just saw that on my character selection screen

yup Maybe i will have to come find you sometime ^^

Bah dont worry bout it, i just hit lvl 20 and stopped ( cant lvl anymore so what the point)
So Got to decide If I want to continue or not.

Ok bought the first month,so Ill be playing the game for a bit longer.

Yayifications!

For a sec i thought it was "yiffication" that you were saying. X.X

lol. I'm not that much of a furry perv to use that talking about WoW

But for other stuff you are fine with it? XD

I guess it all depends on the subject matter

Then you are a furry perv XD

Two days to get 14? You're doing something wrong. >_> Usually you can get 14 in like, two hours, tops.

Well i dont mean 48 hour of playing XD.

But around 10 hours if not more.
It really feels slow, and Im doing every quest so I dont know what I would be doing that would be wrong.

end game is where its at, for fun while levelling though, try a hunter, i had a bunch of fun just exploring looking for better beasts to tame.
had a couple free instant 90 boosts so i can definitely say 90 - 100 is way more fun than early levels.

Well I was interested in playing a death knight honnestly, but I dont have acces to those in the trial.

oh yeah, they are definitely fun, one of my 3 toons up around 90 is a DK, worth levelling up a character to 45 just to unlock them.
end game, druids and warlocks are also quite good, the playstyles work for me anyway :D

You should go and check, they removed that requirement.

huh, been offline the past few months so may have missed that. not surprising though, they did just announce a new hero class in the next expac.

Yea the demon hunter guy. ^^'

I dunno. I mostly just like running around with my friends, seeing the worlds (cuz there are some seriously MASSIVE and beautiful lands on there), having them help me out with leveling, or I just run around doing quests to try and level up.

But mostly for me it's exploring and hanging with friends.

It's not for everyone though. Some people aren't going to like the "collect-a-thon" way it's played or the grinding factor that can come in to play. Some people aren't going to like having to do the quests to go over here, then get the thing, to go over here halfway across the world to give it to someone else who just wants to look at it and then tell you to take it back. But even those quests for me are more fun because of the story behind it and the places it takes you. Half the time those quests seem like they're only there FOR you to go exploring around, but gives you something to do while you do so.

But honestly? If you're still not feeling it, then it may not be for you. I used to hate the game and couldn't figure out the appeal either until I got with friends who explored with me and made it fun. Then I got hooked and now I'm caught playing by myself for HOURS. But it is one of those things either you love it, let it grow on you, or flat out can't do it.

That 20 level trial isn't going to be enough though, to really get into the good parts of the game. That's why it's free till then. You do get to do SOME stuff, but all the GOOD stuff is much much later.

You believe in the "lvl 90+ is where the fun at"?

The game does feel big, that I can say because of how longs it takes me to get to a point to another. -.-'''

Im just trying to be open about for the boyfriend cause he wants to get back on it but not alone.
And his other friends also want me in, cause they know "if Bryan in, He gonna be in too" so kinda why Im giving i a chance for the bf, not much for the others.

Sadly the trial only what I get based on, not gonna waste money until im certain if I will enjoy or not.

I don't know about that. My characters aren't NEARLY that high and I have fun. I'm just saying you'll get to level 20 wayyy too fast and won't even get to experience half the stuff in the game. But waiting till level 90 is a stretch. I mean I had fun from the start just being with my friends.

If he wants people to play with I'd be cool with adding him! Even if we didn't get on the same server at least we could still chat~ I am not on all the time as I generally only pay for it when I know I'll use it, but I am on sometimes and I do have a lot of fun~

In fact I might even go and renew my subscription now!

Oh god (facepalm)

hey you're the one that doesn't like it. I have been playing for a little bit now when I can and I am over level 40 (I have a over level 90 character but she is just for fun as I didn't legit grind or quest for her levels I used that boost). I adore the game. Plus I wanna see if I can find robin Williams memorial in game.

Is not that XD

Just me mentionning the game made you want to resub to it, i just find it funny.

For me, it's all about the level 100 content, most notably PvP. The problem is actually getting to level 100. It can be boring as hell if you don't care for the lore like me.

wait, pvp is good then?
literally never bothered with pvp since Aus net connections are a handicap

PvP is good in my opinion, but I've heard plenty of people saying its not good. I guess it's what you make of it

Yea seen that comment being said around that only the high level stuff are interesting.

I haven't nagged. D:

This comment wins for being cute.

It's all like

"I like warcraft"
"Go play ET"
"I like the lore"
"...I wasn't nagging!" xDD

b-b-but...I wasn't!...at least consciously. >.>;

Pfft. I say go for it even if you weren't! Warcraft is awesome! Corrupt all the boyfriends!

I'm trying!...He wanna play death knight and I am all about letting him. <.<

Ooh death knight! My bestie is one of those.

He got it~. :3

Whoo!!!

Well I reached lvl 20, so I have to decide now.

Why not go ahead and pay for a month and play for a little longer? Although if you still are not feeling it I don't know how much good that will do. Playing by myself or with a few people was what killed it for me the first time. It was only after getting on with my best friends that I had fun.

Foxy bought the first month for me, guess that dungeon saved wow a bit, so ill see from there, ill be starting a death knight as soon as I can. So if you ever feel like it, poke me on skype.

Hells yeah! Sounds fun~

Just waiting on the account restriction.

To be removed and all.

Me and my friends are playing for a short bit right now~

Well im in the game also XD

I had some really bummer stuff happen so I'm headin to bed. I'll be on tomorrow probably.

aww take care hun, hope you get better

.... Ouai ce jeu est nul je te le confirme
