    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be fair, when you have to answer thousands of raving lunatics who obsess over a PTR build number changing, you might get a little cranky too.

    Either you meant FF14 had fundamentally different combat mechanics than WoW entirely, or you just mentioned it like a retard when it had no relevance at all to your statement. If you wanna change your mind and make a completely different argument (or 2, or 3) now, that's fine. But pull your head...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Keep in mind there are going to be some massive changes as far as weapon proficiencies for different specs. For instance Survival hunters are going back to melee; their artifact is a spear (polearm probably, or staff). Even if different specscanuse the same weapon type, they are probably going...

    These are all balance issues and technical limitations. Instead of taking away the most effective tool available to raid healers they should give other specs tools to compete with it. And absorbs from different priests should obviously stack. Maybe have a max absorb cap to keep it under control...

    Ok they have my attention. Oh right, nevermind, they're still retarded after all. Do they worry about the 'ranged heavy' nature of Hunters or the 'stealth heavy' nature of Rogues?

    One thing protecting artifacts from going the way of the Path of the Titans is the art. Their art team sucks up a huge chunk of the budget/time in developing new content. If they can get all the weapon designing done in one big chunk and not have to make anything new til the next expansion, that...

    I don't mind doing a list of chores to unlock flying as long as it's available starting from launch. Alts are the only reason I care about flying, unfortunately my alts are almost all 100 by now and we still don't have it.

    Not that the books give a good excuse for this storyline anyway. Thrall promotes a hot-headed, inexperienced, emo orc to leader of the Horde, AFTER he tried to kill Thrall once already. Pretty much first thing he does as Warchief is kill Thrall's BFF Cairne, and Thrall is cool with it and goes...

    The most fun I've had with any class was when they were at their LEAST balanced. PoM Pyro mage, original DKs, Ret/Prot pally in early WotLK, Disc priest in Cata, Enh Shammy before lava lash. Fuck your balance, make the game fun again.

    Yeah it happened in EQ, just not as much since not as many played EQ overall. I remember hearing clips from Teamspeak of some kid raging over getting kicked out of his guild, he started crying and saying that was all he had in his life or something at some point.

    Don't know where you read that, or if you just assumed it. Mythic dungeon loot is 685, which is what LFR wing bosses drop. More than half of LFR loot is 675 though. If the Mythic dungeon loot rolls warforged, it bumps up to 705, the top level of normal raid and base level of heroic raid loot.

    I actually don't remember that. I remember the WoD info being officially released and everyone laughing at how fucking stupid it was, though.

    The fact these zones aren't framed in the context of 'You can gain reputation for 2 new factions!' proves this is fake. Also, Lol, 16-24 new dungeons at an expansion launch? Unless they've been secretly working on this since vanilla, expect more like 6.

    Was it a console version or PC? If PC, did you make sure it was patched? I had no problems with the Steam version. In fact, it ran twice as smooth and looked better than the PC versions of Asylum and City.

    I still make 75% of my money from selling enchanting mats, T1 crafted gear, and savage bloods. Especially if you only log on once a day, missions are a pittance compared to AH profits. I made 13k just today; above average but I usually get 5-6k. I'm not even playing the AH, just looting garrison...

    Well Overwatch came out of at least some of the ideas they had for Titan. Considering they've described Titan as "six games in one" and overly ambitious, while Overwatch is fairly simple, we may see more projects spring out of Titan's carcass in the next couple years.

    Still pretty much zero. We can put all the blame at Blizzard's feet. Kotick is busy trying to wring every dollar out of CoD, Skylanders, and Destiny.

    You're making a joke, right? Like a funny joke where you say something stupid that doesn't make sense kinda joke? Right? Yes, Tanaan Jungle 'shipped' with the release of Warlords of Draenor, just like the Maelstrom and Gilneas shipped with the Vanilla release because they were technically...

    Wait, to fly all you need are 3 new Tanaan reps that aren't in the game yet, right? Why is everyone doing the trading post rep all of a sudden? Slightly related, has anyone actually bothered to get the auctioneer bot in their garrison? It would cost like 60k on my server at the cheapest, or...

    Yeah that ain't working for me. I can connect to Japanese data centers just fine but going back to NA just gives the 2002. And I love how it closes the client every time! 10 days left on my 2 week trial, having a fucking blast so far.

    So I've been hearing good things about this game, decided to finally give it a try. Even though I already had a Square Enix account it would not accept it in the launcher, so I made another new account...whatever. Tried to get on for 2 straight days only to be rejected because of maintenance...

    No one ever said magic counts as a weapon. In their previous Mak'gora (WotLK launch event) both Thrall and Garrosh had plenty of armor, and Thrall seemed free to cast whatever he wanted. They did drop the ball with Thrall's dialogue, imo. Here was Thrall's chance to own up to his poor choice...

    You can get a mage portal to ashran too lol. I think my mage's hearth is set to the bug's quest hub in Pandaria. I could probably just delete it.

    Fuck, my hearth is still set to Panda-land. Warspear/Stormshield suck balls. Only thing you ever need to do there is get your bonus roll tokens and you can take the portal from your garrison for that.

    Unfortunately the class changes I would want they've already had, and are clearly not going to bring back any time soon: Shammy tanks: Not as much armor as the other tanks, but with mail, a shield, threat increasing abilities, good aoe, and heals they made pretty damn good offtanks and...

    I mean I would define class as....the class. There's 11? (checking my math) Yeah 11 classes. Instead of bickering about whether individual specs count or not, I want to know how someone got the count down to 6. Which actual classes are just complete clones in his eyes? I guess cat druids are...

    The problem is, levels give you context as to what content is appropriate for you. You could take that away, but then you're left with 2 options: 1) All content is available to everyone. No progression, other than your own actual skill at the game getting better. Works great for short single...

    So same exact thing as leveling except you make it more confusing to compare your progression vs others and your own past? Levels are fine. I'm still confused why you think having levels makes a game unnecessarily costly. Most of the problems you're thinking of are just part of having a 10...

    If you just mainline the main quests, Ilum isn't bad. They give the 12x boost just like class quests, so you can finish the whole series off in ~20 min and get to 53-54 before going to Makeb. Turns out you can go to Makeb as early as 47 but if you do, you'll end up finishing the Revan quests on...

    There is a right answer, it's make people do the content on the ground the first time through, then unlock flying for your 10 repeat visits. They perfected this approach in WotLK and haven't done it like that since. Just have a BoA tome that requires lvl 100 to buy but can be used at 90. Or...

    Haven't tried lightning sorc but I just finished a run as an assassin inquisitor. Being able to stealth past 90% of the enemies, and having an option to talk the bad guy out of fighting most of the time made leveling a joke.
