Something to talk about: new TotalBiscuit video.
EDIT The actual footage starts at 6:40. Unless you want to see a bunch of German geeks skip to that point in the video.

I'm really happy for Buiscuit. He is just another guy with an opinion, but he is a good guy.
He entertained me a lot during the Cataclysm beta. When I actually got into that beta, I would still prioritize watching his videos. I think it was relief. As interesting and amazing Cata was, no matter how much you paint the wall, it's still the same wall, and have him play it and explore it, made me appreciate it through him.
At the end of the day, it was the sign that WoW was over for me. He is not a particularly funny guy, and he doesn't know that much about MMOs, but he is a cool dude still. Some british people seem to be annoyed by his persona. hmm.

TotalBiscuit absolutely is a good guy. I really appreciate his opinion on games. I think it is a good thing he diversified into other stuff than just WoW. I especially found his reporting on DNF refreshing. He has done a great job of reporting on Gamescom too. Some of his off-screen footage is excellent.

Because in the context of endgame content at launch (and that was the context of this discussion) UBRS, Strat and Scholo would not be on the same content level as Molten Core, Onyxia and Eternity Vault. They would be on the same content level as level 50 flashpoints. And in the case of UBRS perhaps on the same level of hard mode flashpoints, which were confirmed at gamescom, though that would be pretty hard to determine.
Out of the context of the discussion, Eternity Vault still has raid mechanics, because it is endgame content. It has raid level boss encounters, gating, gearchecks (at least on higher difficulties), and a mix of trashmobs with loottables and unique encounters (apparently including some kind of puzzle). And that is only stuff revealed at gamescom that Strat, Scholo and UBRS are missing.
If you want to continue to argue about that let's stick to PMs in order to stop this discussion from derailing this thread any further.

I don't really expect them to have unrevealed operations available at launch, but somewhere in this very thread, someone from Bioware explained not all of the launch flashpoints are in the beta.

One of the characters I played last week was actually level 15, because he leveled up from xp gained through battlegrounds over the cause of gamescom.
Would have preferred to see some level 50 combat, though.

All part of the Scoundrel's master plan!

Maybe they have some kind of redesign planned for the Scoundrel in the near future. Strangely enough there was no Scoundrel to chose from at the PvP event at gamescom.

Protip: you can add &t=XmYs to your youtube links to start at a specific time so to start at 6:40 it would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re0eutBfIXo&t=6m40s
Win.
Love seeing these gameplay videos being put out to the public. I don't actually PvP, but these Warzones do look pretty cool.

I need to keep away from this thread, every time I go to make a post I have to remind myself not to talk about the beta.
I'll just say it's a beta, and stuff is really cool.

I could care less if this game has less raid's than WoW did at launch.
The back and forth of this thread with it's comparison with GW2 and WoW has done nothing for me but dilute my interest in participating in this thread (Of awkwardly placed ego.) more than it is has shaped my opinion of the game which it is supposed to be about.
I am more interested in the content of the story, which is having mixed reviews, same as anything else with any game ever. More specifically I want more insight into character development at the end game than those shackled by the NDA and developers shackled by marketing are coming forth with.

It skips to the next line, but make sure to go into options and manually turn subtitles on, otherwise it only displays text for the last line spoken whenever you have to choose a dialog option.
Subtitles will force the game to show all spoken lines, thus allowing you to progress through a conversation at your own speed (and you will once the novelty wears off).

I got about 10 minutes of PVP footage at gamescom. They had an on stage live demo.
It's 1080p.

Also got to play it. It was fun but 20 minutes just isn't enough to fully judge a game.
I got to do like 2 low level quests. Felt polished though. Controls were set up just like wow.

I can't help but wonder how "Easy Mode" raids are going to be handled within the game community. Heroic Raiders already look down their noses at "Easy Mode" Normal Raiders in WoW. If there's an even more easy level, I think the community is going to get even more ugly and hostile than it already is between "hardcore" and "casual."CcrooK said:

I agree. With the recent show in Europe and all the video's they released, some official some from shaky-cam, it's about time they lift or ease up on the NDA so that some users can get a better ideal about the game.
Pricing should be something easily released by now and I agree with you that some information on what the strategy is for post launch support as far as content is concerned. I know that they dont to tip their hat too far in advance, but some generalities would be nice to know.
