5/17/2023 0 Comments Jade dynasty private server 2015![]() Blizzard can’t control that.īlizzard has recently cracked down on public servers where folks have provided publicly available servers to play the old versions. The client are of course owned by Blizzard – makers of Wow – but the server was reverse engineered and is open source. The servers are open source and the old clients are available, if a little difficult to find. I’m also running a version of Cataclysm, but much of the game quests and other content are missing, although all the classes and world is there to explore. So why go back to old versions of Wow? The expansion I’m having the most fun with was released in Nov 2008. Hunter with Rare Pet and Tricked Out Gear But the new content is no fun if you are alone. I have built 14 characters in GW2, all to max level and explored the whole world – at least the whole first world – with most of them. But when they up and all disappear and leave you standing alone after a big fight, then you are in deep trouble. These are quite a lot of fun, but be prepared for an hour long event. Much larger than any Raid in the other games. Some of the large events in GW2 seem to have 50 – 100 people playing. That’s all well and good, and quite fun if you are in a group of a dozen or so people. If you are not in a group you will be killed. The new content is so difficult that you cannot be alone in the forest. I enjoyed it very much, but the new expansions have gone the same way as the other games. It is Buy to Play, no subscription but the game costs $40 – $50 to buy up front. ![]() Guild Wars 2 – The Same Things Happened GW2 – a World Boss Fight This is the fourth Gender / race locked class after Reaper, Gunner and Brawler. In May 2016 they are adding a new Elin only class – the Ninja. These new classes do more damage and take less damage in a fight than the previous classes. The other thing we all noticed with the new classes is that they are overpowered compared with the previous classes. Tera is very popular and is apparently making a ton of money.Ī class defines the spells and play style of a character : magic or melee, does it have pets that help fight, does it summon helpers, does it heal other players. They are going for the big impact with the least amount of work. This greatly reduces the work involved to build the classes, since the designers only have to do one set of animations, costumes etc, rather than six or more for all the races / genders. Brawler New ClassĪll of Tera’s new playable classes have been race / gender locked. The recent Tera Fate of Arun expansion added a modest amount of new land area, a minimal set of quests to get from 60 to 65, and then a few dungeons and PvP arenas.The 60 – 65 quests could be completed in a couple of days on most classes. Let’s remember that building a few dungeons or Arenas for PvP is much easier than building a large new areas of open world with hundreds of quests. But Tera in recent expansions went the way of Wow, with knuckle biting dungeons and expansions, and concentration on PvP at expense of PvE. Tera is a very beautiful, expansive and free to play game. Of course Free to Play really means either Pay to Look Nice or Pay to Win, or a combination of both. I guess the game designers have done the math and the folks that play that content are the ones who pay. I guess the money and attraction is in PvP and harder content. Since then I’ve played other games, all of them Free to Play, but they all seem to be going the same way. The changes they were making to Wow was increasingly about PvP, player vs player, rather than Player vs Environment, which is what I enjoy. ![]() I could make it through, but it felt like a slog, as the other content never was. ![]() Unless you had spent a lot of time grinding the high level dungeons and raids for the high level gear, you were disadvantaged in the new content. I began to feel like I wasn’t getting my money’s worth. I joined soon after Cataclysm which released Dec 2010, which destroyed much of the world, and played through until after Pandaria released in Sep 2012, with it’s new continent and new panda characters – Kung Fu Monk Pandas a little like the movie, but that’s another story. I subscribed to Wow for a couple years and had a nice time.
