    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I suspect if they do it at all it would have to be something like this. Some specific options and specific times. Mythics+ is all about learning optimizations to progress to higher keys. Totally random powers would in a lot of ways defeat that as some runs you get lucky and just roll a win...

    I can see how you could do this that wouldn't be terrible but you would have to have a highly curated list of powers because some of that stuff would trivialize a mythic and some is barely noticable.

    Shadow and Bone

    Hell just look at the ruins of pompei. We have graphic full color art examples of every sex practice you could imagine as common decoration in average peoples bedrooms. Then they have the brothel area with the whole menu listed/illustrated with prices for the various practices that was clearly...

    Shadow and Bone

    I am pretty sure the romans and greeks would strongly disagree with that. Most of the anti gay stuff came from the jewish and christian blow back over the behaviors of the roman occupiers.

    Shadow and Bone

    Hell even look at earth. There were large swaths of civilization where being gay was not an aberration but the norm. For a long long time you got married to a woman to produce kids but that was a purely business transaction and their actual lovers were generally other men. On the woke scale...

    Shadow and Bone

    Yup its brought up explicitly as scary as grisha are they are much better at covert ops/support roles than combat because if you have to stand out in the open waving your arms to kill a few dudes the guy 1k yards out with a machine gun kinda trumps you hard.

    It is interesting they had to remove them because people really reacted badly to it in the first place only to turn around and try to reintroduce them. My biggest issue in torghast is in the 6 floor runs you basically don't get enough anima powers to really make fun builds you just take what you...

    Given how hard it is to actually launch an mmo somebody who has been a part of lauching a couple likely does have decently marketable experience. Launching a successful mmo is almost an insane task. You basically can't make enough content out of the gate to satisfy the playerbase especially when...

    Rift may not have knocked it out of the park but it got launched and made them a pretty solid amount of money and is still up and running and presuamably generating revenue. That is a lot more than a lot of games *cough pantheon* are ever able to say.

    Yup and the pandemic didn't help shit but if you play a game like its your job eventually it starts to feel like a job. I probably would have bounced to something else until the patch if my friends didn't come back and opening up more access to stuff I had wanted to do but didn't care to pug...

    Tradeskills are in a weird spot. They are in some ways kinda useful but in other ways not so much. Everybody basically is going to always wear one thing crafters make which in a lot of ways is better than previous patches. But the mechanics for getting the higher level patterns for the legendary...

    A couple of my friends who had not played in a long time came back and we have been having fun actually doing mythics and other group content again. I think shadowlands is in a lot better place than BFA was. Torghast has so much potential but there are a few things that need changing. It needs...

    Eh more anima is more anima I don't expect that number to really start jumping until after 9.1 as right now it is one of the few chase things to do and honestly most of the stuff you get from it is cosmetic or covenant hall stuff none of which is really critical to doing anything.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Basically it looks like you get war asset credits for completing stuff in the previous games so if you do a lot of stuff in me1 and me2 you get a ton of war assets in me3. If you just skip to me3 it sounds like you need to do all of the things.

    Haha the hilarious thing is somehow I wound up with garrus as my romance partner without ever really realizing that was what was happening. Sharing a romantic fist bump. My friend watching was like um did we just seduce garrus and I am like maaaaybeee.

    But it does not because there are no ilevels added into LFR that were not added at higher levels in other content. LFR is a weird dead spot in that by the time you can get into it the gear it drops is already obsolete. If you eliminate LFR completely it changes nothing. WQ go up to 194 with...

    After BFA I kinda doubt it. All throughout BFA LFR has lagged behind even what world quests dropped. It is basically there for transmogs and so most of the customer base can see all the content even if they are window lickers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    LFR does absolutely nothing to add ilevels. Its ilevel is firmly between mythic 0 dungeons and covenant gear/world quest gear. Unless you are an ungeared alt or can't be bothered to upgrade the covenant armor LFR gear is strictly for transmogs. You could make them ilevel 1 and it would not...

    Honestly I don't think there is a great answer to this for a game that basically will last years/decades that has loot. If you are going to have loot that matters over a long enough period of time and expansions eventually its going to inflate beyond sanity. They have just accepted this and want...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    I don't think 02 production would be a big deal you are at the same time halving the things using O2 and predating on the things producing O2. Stuff like algea probably would have massive booms in production if you eliminate half the things capable of eating them. The first year could be tight...

    I am also not certain if losing half the sea life population while at the same time halving the beings that consume them would be a net negative for the fish. One bad year followed by 4 years with GREATLY reduces fishery pressure.

    Same I am not up super high but as we are progressing mythic the vast majority of people doing it should never need invis potions. People yelling at people not using them in sub +5 keys is mind boggling. At that level you don't need to skip shit just punch it in the face plow through to boss...

    I am just curious what back end change happened that just blew the invis potion the fuck up. It had been working fine for a long time then suddenly FAIL.

    Debris

    Honestly I am sort of liking it. I like that the main stuff is not just some unexplained stuff it is literally debris from an alien ship and they know that to start with. Overall it seems a pretty legit spy vs spy as various govt are trying to get as much of it as they can.

    Like why have torghast specific legendaries they are cute but nobody is going to use one of those as their main slot and who wants to fuck around swapping gear to just do torghast.
  32. kaid

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup given the resources/cost to make different legendaries most people are going to read up on the one best or at least the one good enough for what they are doing make that and then move on. They probably will add more ilevel upgrade options for them at some point but overall you still are just...

    Honestly I think the normal play style for a large chunk of the playerbase is 2 months after launch and every major patch update which probably is a solid way to get the full experience without burning out.

    Looks like the 9.0.5 patch comes out tuesday so thats about a week earlier than I was expecting. I figured it had gone this long they were going to wait for current renown stuff to end before doing it. Big question is how long after that is pushed till they put 9.1 out on ptr.

    I see it done all the time in pugs. Only a few fights really have mechanics you can't ignore like the last fight of de other side. Also given the way catchup mechanics work at this point even brand new max levels very rapidly get a full set of 197 main slot stuff and one good weapon by just...

    Well back in TBC the dungeons were legit pretty hard but it was not mechanics. It was just that shit hit very hard compared to the gear you had. basically you would just CC most of a pull and take things one or two at a time. There were almost no strange or weird mechanics to learn or avoid just...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In heroic and non heroic dungeons most of the mechanics can basically be ignored completly other than a couple of dungeons. If you are doing mythics you probably are already well above what the bulk of people in the game ever do.
