Some pictures

[Jarulf]

Nice screenshot Jarulf, but you know, all those on-screen statistic messages and numbers and the galores of icons, which remind me rather of some air- or spacecraft cockpit controls and messages than a fun game, are yet another reason why I won't get into MMORPG's (I think most of them work this way?). That's what I like about Diablo: You just put your points into the (rather self-explaining) spells of your choice, and there you go. Very easy to understand and to use, user-friendly and fun. In WOW, it appears all very complicated, at least from what I can see on the screenshots: "You fail to perform Strike: Not enough rage" - "You fail to perform Strike: Not enough rage"- "You fail to perform Strike: Not enough rage" - "You hit Kolkar Stormer for 25" - "Your Strike hits Kolkar Stormer for 52" - "You fail to perform Strike: Not enough rage" - "Kolkar Stormer dies" ... Oh my God, what's next? "Your Shoes got a Hole of 1.5 inch from too much Walking"? ;)

All those messages are me not caring about the situation much. Basically it works like this. The special attacks consumes rage. A warrior get rage by perfroming normal attacks (and some special such as a charge). When you have enough, th3e icons for the special attacks light up (the ammount varies for different ones), and you can use it. i tend to just click madly not really bothering to check if I have enough rage, hence I get tons of those messages.

It is like a mage clicking madly to cast a spell but not having regaind enough mana yet, won't work. A solution is of course to not click on attacks that are not "active" until you have enough rage. So I think it is something about my playing style only :)
