Thread about why You Hate Luclin

[Keza]

I was so young playing SoL that my memories of it are pretty vague. I remember zones, some spells, Vah Shir/Beastlords ofc. PLing 1-20 in 4.2 seconds in Nethlair. Overall I guess I didn't play it enough to hate it as much as most people seem to, but I'd wager their hatred for it is the same as people who hate anything after the OT of Star Wars, or movies that aren't identical to the books. Not a hatred based out of logic, just because 'it's not what they like', and what they like is what they saw first. Like the people who claim Fortnite is the best video game ever because it's the only one they ever played.

Though I can't say the character models ever appealed to me. The humanoid models look ok but their animations are crap. The ogres/trolls etc and especially Iksar I hated even when I was like 12. Mainly if I had to hate something it would be power creep. This really starts in Kunark, as most classic gear is trash, but of course with every new xpac it gets worse and worse. On the flip side, for this server power creep doesn't impact much for low levels because everyone is already twinked to the point of being stat capped halfway through character creation and while it would make farming higher level stuff (how many camps need more than 1 enchanter again?) more trivial the gear would be less important.

All in all I want green more than Luclin, but I'd come back to blue for Luclin all the same. I'm not pronouncing it 'luck-lin' though. I don't give a damn if 'loose-lin' isn't official or even grammatically accurate!

You just came in to a thread where people are giving specific, detailed reasons for disliking the expansion, and said that everyone's hatred is illogical? Meanwhile you said you don't even know much about the expansion yourself so....dunno if you're the right one to judge in this case

I obviously wasn't talking about the people in this thread. Note how I said absolutely nothing about anyone at all in this thread, and then said my own dislikes about the xpac in the exact same way as everyone else has. Or is understanding what you're reading too much to ask?

I was referring to people in general who think the game "died" with Luclin, many of which have no reasoning for this and are merely parroting a widely believed perception based heavily on the ill-received graphical rehaul. Which it's fine to dislike the graphics, I didn't like them either, but it's not enough to claim the game is dead.

And yeah, I said my memories were vague, hence my opinion is skewed. I said that to clarify the point. A point you missed, because like your other presumption you've completely made up a different meaning behind the words you read. I guarantee you there is no one in this thread who knows everything about SoL, and there is no one in this thread whose opinion isn't bias. I have my memories of SoL the same as anyone and just like everyone without a perfect memory they are vague. I merely admitted to not remembering every possible thing about SoL that could have been bad, instead of pretending my memories were gospel.
