A Short and Sweet (sort of) Rant About Blizzard Games

TheStinger · 07-03-2008

If you have the courage and patience to read this you are a HERO. Enjoy your rewards in the afterlife for official hero status (no guarantees).

A short guide to the two kinds of people you will meet a life:
Hero: Non-Hero:

WoW killed Warcraft. Starcraft was Blizzard's most epic game of all time, but it's now ancient (and Blizzard being the most epic company of all time - stupid Activision - making it the best game EVA - look in the dictionary I swear "eva" is a word). Warcraft has never really been that good (in my opinion) as it is too cartoony. I also never liked the Warcraft plot (but by now I have the whole fricken thing stuck in my head due to frequent reading of useless **** on WoW). I think they are going to let the dust settle from WoW, SC2 and D3 and perhaps make a WoW 2.0, or even SC3 - but not WC4 - log onto starcraft if you need proof - there are sometimes more people on than the current Blizzard RTS (indefinitely - rant alert - MAKE A GODDAMN RELEASE DATE FOR YOUR GAMES BLIZZARD - DO YOUR BALANCE IN PATCHES).

EDIT: By the way, this is shorter than it was supposed to be, since it was wiped out by an internal server error (lol at those) and I was forced by my other personality to rewrite about half of it. I stopped myself from re-finishing it by consuming massive amounts of iced tea. Iced tea cures cancer.

Non-Heroes just read this:

Anyway to summarize, as this has become too long to read and to add random additional things I thought of in the past 10 seconds:

NO WC4
YES SC SERIES FOREVER (I expect a 3,4 and maybe a 5 depending on my lifespan)
Better WoW in the future - that is more based on skill and less on TIME
After Diablo 3 - I think Diablo will die

Do not read the following rant if you are either faint of heart or of a mildly competent intelligence:

(sometime in the uncertain future, starcraft 2 may or may not come out depending on the influence of Blizzard's EPIC PHAIL Department - note Starcraft Ghost, the current further noobing up of WoW [it finds things for you now, wtf is thottbot for?] and how long a rant in parentheses can go on for - as this may delay anyone reading this and therefore it will somehow influence a humble blizzard employee to go on a killing spree and ruin my ultimate dream of starcraft 2)

EDIT #2: Lol I put the first edit in the wrong spot.

TheStinger · 07-03-2008

I suggest a dedicated rant threat.

King Stubby · 07-03-2008

it's called the battlegrounds forum. is that even still here? or you you go to the philosophy section or whatever that has all the hard questions.

GhostlySpoon · 07-04-2008

They'll keep with SC to please the Koreans, they'll NEVER make WC4, or 5, or 6. Considering they've absolutely destroyed the entire Warcraft plot with WoW, by killing everyone, including Illidan, Kael'Thas, Vashj, even killed Kil'Jaeden! I bet in the expansion after WotLK they'll go straight and kill Sargeras, thus ending the Warcraft storyline. Then they'll just make up some bull**** about Horde warring with the Alliance to keep it going for another 10 years.

tl;dr

No more WC RTS, WoW = forever + broken story, SC = Koreans fetish will continue, Diablo 3 is teh last one.

Addle · 07-06-2008

lol? I'd just like to say that none of this matters. The only thing that matters is the fact that Warhammer Online is gonna kick all these blizzard games in the ass. However, SC2 is of course worth getting. But i have to agree with most of the points made.

Addle · 07-06-2008

I think my computer just sucks.. but if i posted this or did something i wasnt supposed to.. too bad. None of this matters because Warhammer Online is the end to all of these games.. except SC2... gotta get that. I have to agree with most of the points made though. D3... idk right now it looks just ok; im gonna need more to want to buy it. (and yes i know its early)

GhostlySpoon · 07-06-2008

Warhammer Online? Don't make me LAUGH. Nothing can stop the mighty wheel of WoW from rolling. It's gained so much momentum, it's gonna take Paris to be hit by a nuclear weapon of epic proportions in the middle of Blizzard employee's working hours to end WoW. Hell, if the servers live on, WoW will live for another 6-8 months, before the players realise that there'll be no more patches, and will an hero.

EtherealCookie · 07-06-2008

Meh, if it was Warhammer 40k online I'd be interested. an MMO Shooter?! ZOMG! FPS + MMO =D

But still.

WAAGH! =O

TheStinger · 07-06-2008

I think when WoW 2 rolls around sometime in the next decade (that's going to happen, trust me), Blizzard will form the new world government.

GhostlySpoon · 07-08-2008

You, are a genius. Blizzard will start brainwashing people. Wait, they already have lol. They've made 2 parents FORGET to feed/wash their 2 year old baby. And made one 13 year old kill himself because he thought he would GET INTO THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT WHEN HE DIED. WTF??

But yeah, once they've finished the expansion after WotLK, they'll start trying to create a WoW 2, which will have Nazi-like propaganda, and brainwash people into forcing people to play WoW 2, or to kill them if they resist. And kill WoW players who can't get to level 90/100 within 6 months. It took me 9 months to get a druid to 70, but I was playing sorta casually. I'm not a TOTAL retard.

HyperReaper33 · 07-08-2008

Meh. I'm looking forward to D3. As for Warcraft...well, it was a nice run. WoW has, as BloodElfPaladin said, killed off the main characters, thus killing the plot. And don't even THINK of throwing some rogue Orc or some **** as the antagonist, or I will have to raise my scythe to Blizz! Unless, of course, they come back as zombies...*thinks of Zombie Illidan and Kil'Jaeden*...Ugh, do not want...

I'll take D3 and I might even check out SC2. Until then...well...I guess I have to do something 'constructive'...

Bawwww ;_;

GhostlySpoon · 07-10-2008

Wait. I remember my friend who is a 'hardcore WoW player' (read: ****ing retarded no-lifing piece of ****, who NEVER leaves his computer) saying that the characters don't die, they only get 'knocked out' or 'incapacitated' or something like that (Which is COMPLETELY retarded). For example, Magtheridon's Lair is a raid dungeon in WoW, when Illidan kicked his ass in Warcraft 3. Although I remember something about Magtheridon begging for mercy and Illidan sparing him or something

Another thing I've noticed about WoW's faggotry. Illidan IS ****ING HUGE IN BLACK TEMPLE!!

Illidan was about 1.5 times bigger than the average night elf once he became a demon with wings and stuff. And when he used Metamorphosis he grew to about 1 and a half of his normal size. which is like 2.25x bigger than a night elf. Not ****ing ten times the size of a ****ing Tauren.

And apparently the Skull of Gul'dan is like small enough to be held in his hand. Besides it being huge in Warcraft 3. Blizzard really do need mutilated.

And in Wrath of the Lich King, warlocks can use metamorphosis, taking out the chance of a Demon hunter hero class. And warriors get whirlwind, so no blademaster either!

WoW is a scourge upon the Warcraft series. Seriously. Angry mob time guys?

HyperReaper33 · 07-10-2008

You get the fire, I'll get the pitchforks.

Flying_Piggy · 07-10-2008

You can't have small WoW bosses, it's just inconvinient. They've got a massive array of abilities, tactics and creatures. With 40-25 people, you gotta make the damn thing visible, if not it's just mean.

King Stubby · 07-12-2008

*grabs a pitchfork and starts stabbing blizzard employees that are working on WoW right and left*

I wonder what the story would be if there WAS a wcIV.

GhostlySpoon · 07-15-2008

Yeah, but we don't NEED ****ing 45 story-high night elves! Sure, he has a bit of demonic power, doesn't mean he has to be ****ing HUGE, just so people can see him among 5 tanks and 5 rogues! The TAB button was invented so you can select enemies without having to click! I understand like Magtheridon and Gruul, but I'm sure Kael'thas is also relatively big, compared to other blood elves, and he's just a normal dude, although OBVIOUSLY he can kill 25 people if they're even slightly unorganised. Could he take 25 units by himself at level 10 in WC3? Nope, unless they were frozen, and he had a lot of mana for Flamestrike!

King Stubby, your post.

Story would be something about how Arthas/Ner'zhul wants to create an army to destroy Kil'Jaeden, Illidan wants to escape Kil'Jaeden, but wants revenge on Arthas moreso. Also, in WoW, Illidan shouts something to people who finish a quest something like this:

"<Insert Name> (In the case I saw it, it was my mate, whose name is Soyabean), you think you can defeat me, the almighty Illidan Stormrage, the one who was an equal match for King Arthas? You are not prepared!"

Even though clearly he was owned by Arthas, BEFORE he gained the Lich King's powers. This was obviously a mistake made by Blizzard, even though they passed it off as him being ignorant, and after years of dwelling on it, he convinced himself that he drew with him, and ignores that Arthas merged with Ner'zhul to become ultimately powerful.

Clearly pure lies from Blizzard. So, they'd have the first campaign as Illidan, and either his naga, or his blood elves, or maybe both/a mixture, to try and allow Kil'Jaeden would manifest with a NEW Well of Eternity/some other magical fount in Outland, and venture back into Azeroth to defeat the Lich King. Then the Lich King and his undead would try to stop them, and either fail/win, and personally I guess win, and then with orcs and humans and night elves. Probably only night elves/orcs, cos humans play the same as Blood Elves, which is in the first campaign. With them, you'd finish off Arthas, or purify him and enlist his help to finish off Sargeras, which would come in WC5.

That is professional there. I need to save that and e-mail it to Blizzard in the past, before an idea of WoW was invented. Where's Bill and Ted when you need them?

Mistake there.

He wasn't 'owned' by Arthas. He was very much an equal match for him before, Arthas simply had the favors slightly in his odd and got lucky this time. The fight wasn't really described.

King Stubby · 07-15-2008

watch the cinematic. illidan got OWNED. he was on his back and trying to hold off frostmourne with his weird doublebladed glaive things. then he died. in other words, he got OWNED.

HyperReaper33 · 07-15-2008

GhostlySpoon · 07-16-2008

No Cookie, he was clearly owned. When I say owned, it just means beaten. Well, it can mean anything from just beaten and no more to WTF I didn't even see it coming.

I've watched that Cinematic god knows how many times. Arthas got a wee dig in and floored him, and went in for the kill but he fought back a good bit, then Arthas got one big-ass cut in, and was in too much of a rush to save Ner'zhul to finish him. Besides, once he was the Lich King he could ****ing kill him with his thoughts. Only I doubt his telekinesis/telepathy reaches to Outland. Even though Medivh's did.

Also, thanks Raper (Yes, Raper) for embedding that, and slowing down the whole page loading, when you could have linked to it.

GhostlySpoon · 07-16-2008

I'm sorry Master, I will never be so ignorant or disobedient again, please leave the alsatian out of it, it hurt too much the last time!!!

I'm so sorry...

King Stubby · 07-16-2008

uhhh...

WTF?!

EtherealCookie · 07-16-2008

Which brings me to a ****ING question. If Illidian can FLY, why doesn't he just fly, get a bow, and shoot the **** out of Arthas?

DEDEDE?!

...

Unless Arthas can do supah jump, he'd be fine.

GhostlySpoon · 07-16-2008

Can't Permafly. Holes in his wing because of fail transformation. Can only glide a short amount of time. And Arthas has ****ing all forms of psycho/telekinesis. He'd point at him and go BANG BANG BANG and shoot him down. Then go all Dexter style and go artistic with his blood and wounds.
