It seems like the WoW community up and decided to come play DA:O and blow its forums up. Just when you thought you could escape the first 10 posts I read....

"L2this, best DPS setup, TPS this, quit whining, calculations that...." People should just be having fun/roleplaying fun characters and messing with things that aren't so cookie cutter, I think that's where most of the enjoyment is being stripped from. Great game, doesn't need to be turned into a single player World of Warcraft community wise...

Do they realize this is a story-driven single player RPG and not a competitive raid driven gaming environment? I'm all for collaboration and sharing ideas/tips but ego stroking and going on and on about your single player domination is pathetic. Is anyone else as nauseated by this as I am?

That's why I left that community. Just got tired of all the same crap you listed. I haven't ran into it as much on these forums as your making it sound. So far I have had a pretty good experience. But time will tell.

All the terms like DPS are used on all MMOs



Its not just WoW players



And yeah most anyone who would buy DAO has played an MMO at least at some point

[Marionetten]

Nerf mages.

Seriously, it's getting tiresome.

Do you realize that people were theorycrafting the best character builds in CRPGs long before WoW existed? Yes, even the word "theorycraft" was in use before that game became popular. For as much as you complain about the "WoW community" you kinda seem like one of the newbs that game is responsible for introducing to RPGs.

I only go into the technical side because that's how I'm seeking the answer to why my playthrough as a Warrior in no way felt 'heroic'.



I felt like throwing Duncan's corpse at the Darkspawn with enough health poultices could have gotten the job done just as well. There's a problem with Warriors and Rogues, and it hurts the story.



I fully agree its a story-driven game, I wouldn't be arguing about classes and technicalities if my first playthrough had not completely failed to transmit the amazing story.

You could always join a group of world of warcraft-haters.



Or just be assimilated... we are teh borg, and stuff.

Oh noes the WoW community is EVUL!!!

[Avispex]

I can understand not wanting a crappy forum community, and I agree. But, have you noticed anything else about Dragon Age Origins that seems a bit like WoW aside from the community? I did, and I was shocked.

[ItsToofy]

I used to play Star Wars Galaxies, I recognize some of those terms from then, granted that was during a golden age where Star Wars Galaxies was perfect, anyone else play that game pre NGE and pre CU? mmmm the memories of what an MMO should have been like.

I played SWG at launch, the ideas were great, but the execution was pretty terrible IMO. As for the OP, L2 ignore munchkins perhaps?

More so that people from the era of gaming/RPG experience feel like they need to impose their greatness on the world. I've been playing RPG's for as long as I can remember, that not being the point. Point is, why are people theorycrafting and getting into pissing matches about "Oh I can clear Nightmare solo as a Rogue, you must be terrible or not playing with X, Y, Z spells or party compositions."

Just let people play the ****ing single-player game in peace, and if they have a question or are looking for constructive discussion then provide it. It's the fact that you have to sift through the pages of ***holes stroking their massive DA:O hard-ons to get decent information (for those who are struggling/beginners) drives me absolutely mad.

It's very similar in a multitude of ways, yes. But that's no justification for developing a **** community. WoW's full of kiddies for its own reasons, I always assumed the BioWare community was a bit more mature.

[I HAS A FLAVOUR]

I think your making this into something that its not.



Please don't claim these forums as yours. Dragon Age is for everyone. WoW players to Mario Bros. players. Please don't act elite.

Never have, never will, but I'm weird like that.

World of Warcraft is a massively popular game for the pc, its not hard to understand that there would be some people who played that game would play this game..

If you don't like those discussions, nobody is forcing you to read them. If there's something else you want to talk about, start the thread. You're just as much a part of the community, so work to improve it instead of just complaining about it?

Well since its a single player RPG why do you care how anyone else plays or what they do?  Take your own advice and "just have fun".  There's not a damn thing wrong with theorycrafting, it gives order to otherwise chaotic and haphazard game systems.  To some, its as interesting as the game itself.

Honestly, you just sound like youre intimidated by math and statistics.

yes i completly agree.

sadly i have fallen into the pitfall of defending biowares game from them because i dont want this to turn into another wow clone where the vocal minority rules the day getting things they dont like nerfed and so on.

i do wish the community could just be happy with the amazing product bioware has produced instead of trying to turn this into the wow flame fest of forums that its being reduced to.




sadly i think wow has had such a large impact on the gaming community you can never escape it anymore. if you think about it they keep 10+ million subs at all times. between the people they have lost over 5 years and the subs they continue to pull in, you are looking at triple or more of that number who have been infected by wow.

their forums are just a breeding ground for nerf herders and class hatred and its spilling over into every new single player game i buy.

its creating some serious wow angst for me.

if it was more mature people wouldn't make posts like yours.
