Blizzard can suck my cock

[Candyflip]

Never have I played an online game that requires 8 hours of downtime every week, especially one you pay for. Still, I deal with it, because I'm addicted to this game like it's crack. But this is stupid. Here's what happened.

A. 11 aclock rolls around. The servers are supposed to be up at 11. 15 minutes after 11, no server has yet to go up. Oh! Wait! Turns out there's a belated realization on Blizzard's behalf that they'll need another 2 hours to do whatever the hell they're doing.

B. 1PM rolls around and now half the servers are up. Of course, mine isn't one of them.

Now it's 2 and still no word from Blizzard as to why they missed their already-extended deadline by an hour. Thanks for turning me into a fiend Blizzard.

With that said, I can safely conclude that WoW is more addictive than any drug I've ever done. I've been sitting at my computer for about 4 hours, waiting, just so I can play a damn game. It's so sad it's funny

Dude, I take 3 month breaks between 3 months of play, and I dont even cancel my account during those 3 months breaks. They got me good

Yeah. It's maddening. The worst part is I've finally got a guild who can clear Kara, down Gruul, etc, so now I'm finally making progress, which means I'm fully hooked. Blizzard will have me by the balls as long as the keep releasing new content.

On the up side, Dalaran is up in 10 minutes. Woot.

HUA HUA HUA

I've never even run a raid. I just solo over and over with new characters lol. Its so relaxing just grinding in an area with mp3s going and a glass of scotch.

Leveling is my least favorite part of the game. Once you know the quests it gets really monotonous and mind numbing. This is the first time I've really been on a raiding schedule though, so it's all still new to me. It's not as bad as I used to think it was. My first time in Gruul's Lair and I got my Tier 4 shoulders

[MrAngryFace]

I've been known to PVP quite a bit and im fairly deadly with a Warrior. Usually in the top 3 kills and number 1 dps output, least between levels 30-40. I suspect I get outdps'ed eventually but my crit chance is like 16 percent in berserk mode which is pretty nice

[Candyflip]

Oh yeah, I usually go all out on WoW every summer. Last summer I helped my friend get his shaman to High Warlord before they bastardized the PvP system. 18 hours a day spent on organized PvP. It was fun though.

woo server is up but I'm getting "Error Retrieving Character list" woo
*head explodes*

It is good they took out the attunement for SSC and the Eye though. Less bullshit I have to deal with.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

YOU DOWN WITH SSC

[Candyflip]

Aaaaaaaand we're down again. Further maintenance. The best part is this is the first day I've woken up before 12PM in over 2 weeks.

It's like having a second job if you take it far enough. Ugh.

the guild won't let me into SSC "because my gear sucks"

Don't feel too bad, though-World of Warcraft raiding is like 4chan or GAF Media Create/NPD threads. It brings out the very worst in everyone, and does so quite swiftly.

Yeah, I did MC for a while back about a year ago and boy did everyone whine

I was kinda pissed about this too. I really wanted to play this afternoon, but the thing was down so meh. Then I tried to start it again around 1 - it was till down. 2, still down. Etc.

But Mute come on, this rarely happens so no point in hyperbole.

[Stocky]

Oh, shut the fuck up you crybabies.

You play too you cum guzzler.

Yeah, Blizzard has definitely improved. Their servers used to be wrecks. It used to take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to log in during prime time, and many were constantly crashing. Still, it was annoying as hell.

Guild Wars updates on the fly, updates more often and has had maybe 2 nights of downtime in it's history. Blizzard tried doing this but I think they couldn't get it right.  Anet > Blizzard.
