<\/a><\/p>\nAnyway, not going to do a review on this one, since basically it\u2019s the same as Cataclysm: no big changes, just a streamline of small details\u2026 The storyline is interesting enough, and the only step backwards (in my opinion, of course) is the over-reliance on daily quests, which kind of consume 2-3 hours of time each day, if you are to do them all\u2026 And you need to do them to have access to valor point gear at the faction vendor, since Blizzard removed the possibility of gaining reputation with a vendor wearing the tabard on heroic instances\u2026<\/p>\n
Other than that, it\u2019s just \u201cmore of the same\u201d, which isn\u2019t exactly a bad thing\u2026 after all, there\u2019s not much you can really innovate in a 7-year old MMORPG without breaking the matrix of what makes it\u2019s 9+ million player base keep playing\u2026<\/p>\n
That said, it\u2019s notorious that WoW is finally losing ground in the MMORPG war (although it\u2019s clearly the winner by a large margin)\u2026 Numbers of subscribers keep declining, and sales for MoP don\u2019t seem to have been that great as previous expansions; of course, I don\u2019t think Blizzard is overly concerned, since they\u2019re already working on a successor (Titan), although that\u2019s probably still a couple of years away.<\/p>\n
In another topic, to keep my \u201cgame-making\u201d bone alive while I don\u2019t have time to return to programming, I\u2019ve been designing a new game (just for kicks)\u2026 It\u2019s like UFO\/XCom:Enemy Unknown, but with more focus on survival; finding bullets, food, medicine, etc, is as important as actually fighting the enemies\u2026<\/p>\n
Anyway, bye for now, I\u2019ll post again in the near future!<\/p>\n
