The AOE fest, everything sticks to the tank, no CC is easily the worst aspect of WotLK. I actually found places like UK, The Nexus, DTK etc harder when levelling up than on Heroic (mainly because you'd more than likely get a Deathknight tank, who had never tanked before!)
heh, aye. by the time you get to 80, the instances arnt much harder (i'll agree that heroic HoL is harder than normal HoL, but heroic Nexus is probably easier than normal HoL, imo. which just seems wrong.).
a freind of mine hit 80 a few days ago, so i'm going through the old heroics again with her healing. first boss in HoS did 44k damage to me over the entire fight... so in like just over a minute, i had to be healed for 10k damage to keep me alive
i couldve done that myself with enraged regen i think... i am of course massively overgeared for heroics, but meh - it made up for the utter fail of 2 dps killing themselves and the healer at the first shatter.
I read a preview on that (i'm sure you have too) and the person liked it because it was extremely polished, looked good and played well.....however his big gripe was way to unoriginal and didn't bring any new idea's or do anything original with the genre in terms of gameplay.
aye, pretty much the impression i got. what it does, it does well (much like wow when it came out), but doesnt really bring much thats entirely new (again, much like wow when it came out). That said, the flying combat might be quite nice, depends on how well its done. hoping to give the beta thingy this weekend a go, if i can get it working in time. (7gb to download, so got a copy off a freind at work today, but his is a steam version, while mine's a non-steam version, so dunno how easy it'll be to get working).
