Seit etwa einer Stunde läuft der World of Warcraft Stress Test auf Hochtouren. In den News zum Test kündigte Blizzard nun ein Gewinnspiel

an.

Jeweils die drei höchsten Charaktere jeder einzelnen Klasse - sowohl in der Horde als auch in der Allianz - können dann am Ende des Stress Test in der aktuellen Closed Beta weiterspielen. Insgesamt wird Blizzard also 48 "Gewinner" auswählen. Allerdings gibt es eine Einschränkung: Charaktere die durch Account-Sharing gelevelt wurden, werden von dem Gewinnspiel ausgeschlossen.

Die genauen Regeln können auf der offiziellen Seite nachgelesen werden.

Hast du schon im Lösungsbuch nachgelesen? Eventuell hilft dir das ja weiter...

Wenn mir eine persönliche Bemerkung gestattet ist:

Diablo Ladder meets WoW.

Sad but true.

naja da muss man ja nicht mitmachen, geht auch anders:

Zitat:

first impressions


First, the technical stuff. Seamless play, no lag whatsoever, and with the exception of a single crash (something disagreed with my sound card) not a single problem playing for the last, oh, 9 hours or so

I went with the dwarven Paladin, and am having a blast. While I may not be in the running for fastest kill rate, I have yet to run into anything, single or multiple, that I couldn't kill or escape from. Only level 8 though, so that may change.

The reason I am only level 8 after so long playing is, I discovered the joy of mining/blacksmithing and am already addicted. I have already found a market for my copper mail, and so between the stuff I made myself and stuff I bought from smithing profits, I have already pushed my armor over 500. Not much around my level is hurting me very bad.

The quest system is top notch. I was laughing my ass of the whole time when a brewer asked me to switch out a keg at the brewery/bar with one of hers. Most of what I have found so far are the standard kill/collect/carry quests, but the quest log makes those a lot less irritating than in other games.

All in all, I am having more fun than I have with any computer game in years. If the level of fun stays the same through the whole stress test period, I will definitely be waiting in line to buy it whn it goes retail.

More to come as I do more tomorrow, time to call it a night.

Hört sich gut an. Vor allem die Tatsache, dass es kaum Lag gegeben haben soll und die Server nicht abgeschmiert sind, lässt doch Hoffnung aufkommen

Hier noch ein kleiner Bericht

Zitat:

about 3 hours ago the highest lvls were like 3 ppl at lvl 12 on my server.
when it first started, i chose a server with 2(yes 2 ppl) i was the 3rd person lol! i saw no other night elfs around. and then they came. but i was a human by that time, like 10 seconds later. and i was the highest human warrior for a while. but then my sister wanted to use the comp, and my friends wanted to hang out tonite so i'm no longer the highest.

as for numbers yeah about 1.5k-2k ppl a server. might hvae seen one a bit above 2k. there are 4 pvp servers, and i guess 8 beta. i didn't realize what was going on because i was so giddy, i just clicked and did whatever i could. when i chose my server there were no servers with more than 10 ppl on them tho. but when i logged on later i saw them. the lag hasn't been bad at all. i have pretty much full settings on, get about 30-50 fps inside, and around 20 if theres a lot to see outside. my pc is fairly old also.. +2 years BUT i do have a geforce fx5700 256mb card.. and i'm assuming that helps.

i have a lvl 9 human warrior, and a lvl 3 rouge NE. but i'm gonna' change to the pvp server now that i have calmed down and i am aware of my actions. i think i'm gonna' go on the mannoroth server if any one else is on that and plays allaince lemme know.

i have played many MMOs before. and this is the very first one that hasn't been just a lvl tread mill. the quests i enjoy. and it is the very first one that has actually been FUN.
