I saw the intro areas, yeah, but I tried not to judge those too much. I can't remember the site but there were a bunch of videos, including the intro area, character creation, world exploration, and then a few that took place in the instances/missions/whatever.
I watched one of the instances and the players were fighting this one monster. First of all, the mob had like a billion health. It took 60 seconds just to take one down. The whole time, there were all these spell effects going off on the mob and I literally couldn't even see the damn character model. The whole time, none of the players moved.
Believe me, I'd love to see a gameplay video that shows a different experience. I was really looking forward to this game.
Bizarre, thanks for the heads up. I will definitely be on the lookout for more gameplay videos. I'm hoping you were just seeing videos of someone who is bad at games (like watching the Giantbomb tools play stuff) but I guess we'll see.
Haha yea. Then they'll hop on Pandaria early on, play it for a few weeks until they get bored, quit the game again and go back to 'hibernating'.
Most of my friends are "done" with WoW. They don't hate it or anything but future expansions won't grab them, they can only refine the game so many times. Like spindoctor said it had a good run and it's not that people necessarily dislike it but you can only play one game for so long (ok except Counter-Strike which lives forever).
