Yeah, about half the fucking games are against hunters. Hunters and rogues.

What's the healer situation like on live/progression servers?

It is kinda too good, but I honestly don't think it's a huge problem. It helps midrange and control decks, not so much aggro as only mech mage runs it. This helps steer the ladder meta away from being 100% pure aggro domination. If it takes an overpowered card to accomplish that, I'm not too...

I'd be surprised if it's any sooner than November or something. More likely next year.

There's definitely some kind of hidden matchmaking in casual. I suspect it simply uses your ladder rank for matchmaking.

Because a server can only support so many players before there simply isn't enough content.

I'm fairly confident that if the issue of endgame congestion/cockblocking was fixed, say by releasing three or four servers for the ultra-poopsockers to spread out on, those numbers would easily be quadrupled or more. In fact, I'm quite certain 10k+ people would play on official, supported...

More class by class details! Also, are those horrible mercenaries there on progression servers? I straight up won't play if they are.

All of this was painfully obvious to me in less than two weeks of playing WoD, but a lot of people were/are in denial and insist that it's the best expansion ever, has the most content ever (some literally claimed this), and that garrisons = awesome gameplay. I realized that WoD spelled the...

That has literally nothing to do with my question.

Having never played on one of the official progression servers, could anyone fill me in on what's different mechanically? I know all the modern zones and shit are in, but how does this affect gameplay in terms of class performance etc.? What's it actually like to play "classic" with modern...

Boxing is the only way I can enjoy EQ these days. The gameplay is so primitive with one character, it's only marginally more interactive than simply watching somebody play. Even if you play a mechanically interactive class like bard, you're still just going through a mindless routine. Nothing is...

It sucks that handlock has died out as a result of things that counter other decks: BGH and Harrison. People run BGH to counter Dr. Boom, and Harrison to counter warrior and oil rogue. However, both of these cards hit handlock even harder. Harrison in particular is ridiculous, if you cast...

The most ridiculous thing is that they defend this situation with"it's how things were back then,"which couldn't be further from the truth. If they really want the endgame scene to be classic, they need to emulate the fact that there were like 20 servers to choose from and to dilute the...

The difference is that you can play for a couple of weeks and be fairly certain you'll find 2x Unity. Or a month or whatever, either way, it's realistically obtainable. Same with everything else in the game. That's not the case with ancient Furnace and whatever compares for builds that don't use...

It'll frankly be hard for them to add anything unless they also implement some different formats. Most of the decks are now at a point where increasing their performance any further will make it frustrating to play against. I mean, imagine facehunter killing you a turn earlier, or control...

Has this server actually made any progress in the last four years? What's going on with Velious? Is P99 still a poopsocking festival where you have no chance to accomplish anything if you aren't in one of the two big guilds which are so full of socially handicapped 36yo diabetics that it's...

What's this "ancient" shit? Is it like warforged from WoW except instead of 5% better, the ancient items are 30% better? As far as I can tell from reading about it, it's basically another layer of RNG that will make it statistically near-impossible to get BiS. Unless there's a way to grind...

Did anyone else find the Naxx adventures really, really boring and annoying? You don't learn much that's relevant to the game because you're playing against special opponents with unique cards and mechanics, and some of the hero powers are beyond ridiculous to the point where you can't win if...

Most of the legendaries are pretty bad. At most a quarter of them are worth using in the meta and most of the competitive decks use between four and eight of them. It's not like you can just say "this deck needs five legendaries" and then stick any five in there. The odds of opening even a...

DA:O is not good for the console. There's a number of borderline gamebreaking bugs which you can't fix, unlike the PC version which can be patched and modded to solve all the little issues. I got it for the PS3 once and had to deal with shit like haste effects cancelling each other out and rapid...

They need to do something like LoL did where you can buy all the original champions in a bundle at a discounted price. They have a similar situation where catching up now would be utterly impossible without doing that. Hearthstone isn't a game that's particularly awesome when playing catch-up...

I don't even really have a problem with the fact that the free to play is a bit of a carrot on a stick, but yeah, it barely qualifies as F2P. It's the kind of F2P where you're allowed to play the game for free but you're never realistically going to reach the top unless you just grind arena for...

Am I missing something or am I really looking at many months of grinding arena to get a good collection of cards? It seems to be either that or put several hundred euros into it. I bought 60 packs and got fuck-all, literally not enough to put togetheranyof the good decks, and arena is so fucking...

First of all, dungeons lasted a hell of a lot longer prior to WoD. For one thing, it plain took longer to get the gear you needed from them, and then once you had that, there was still an incentive to keep running them for a long time in order to get JP/VP rewards. There were also just more...

Is there any realistic way to earn enough gold to unlock the Naxxramas shit? It seems to cost 700 per wing and you get maybe 150 a day from the dailies. Arena isn't a consistent source of gold when you're new to the game. Can't see any other way unless one wants to grind mindnumbing casual games...

You must not visit any WoW forums or something. They're in a state of borderline riot, and rightfully so as WoD is severely lacking in meaningful gameplay for anyone with more than like an hour a day to play. Blizzard have systematically stripped the game of things you can do to progress your...

Some people are simply so bad at the game that they can only pay attention to one thing at a time. They play DPS and can't cope with something like having to watch out for mines while simultaneously doing their rotation. It's no mystery, 50% of the playerbase is below average, and you'll find...

God, I wish this was open source. I really want to play again, but I don't wanna play one fucking character because that's about as involving as stirring a pot. I also don't want to have to pick from whatever undesirable content is left after the neckbeards have taken and monopolized everything...

They removed most healing on purpose. I kind of understand where they wanted to go with it (something about being better able to design encounter difficulty etc.) but they don't really seem to have changed anything else about the gameplay from the previous titles. Makes it feel a little awkward...

Apparently wanting it to be possible to play for more than an hour a day and still have something to do to progress is now poopsocking.

What I mean is they took away almost every productive activity, either removing it entirely or turned it into something you could only do in tiny amounts every x hours/days. Almost everything is centered around the garrison which is probably the most tedious thing that has ever been in WoW...

This has been the most boring start to an expansion ever.

This is fucking atrocious on the PS3. The graphics are hideous, it looks like something from the PS2 era, and it's insanely choppy. It's hardly ever above 20 FPS and very, very commonly dips below 10, often as low as 5 FPS. It borders on unplayable, it simply stutters too much to fight properly...

It's one of the glitches of the Mac->PC client hack.

Is this the godawful PC mac-client hack that the original Al'Kabor server had? It was riddled with bugs and glitches and ran like ass if you tried open more than one client.

Anyone notice a suspiciously large gap between heroic and mythic? I think heroic is probably too easy. I barely raided in MoP so I can't really compare, but my guild is in this weird situation right now where we're already blowing through heroic with barely a wipe, but we're not even slightly...

The disc priests in my guild are consistently topping the meters, seemingly by doing little more than spamming PW:S on everyone. How effective that is, I don't know, but they regularly top the meters by like 5k HPS or so.

Did he wipe it clean again? xD

It's not about what they could add, it's about what they've taken away. Professions and reputations, two of the main things you could keep working at for a long time, are now essentially gone; one has been turned into a daily button and the other rewards nothing. They've also taken away any...
