Yeah, that's why Sylvanas did everything she did. One look at the Shadowlands and she'd commit war crimes every day to keep her from being there for eternity.

That's how every board guild goes.

Why, so they could completely change the core gameplay again?

Is this going to be first or third person? For some reason that bat animation is giving me flashbacks to hitting a bat overhand with a two handed hammer and it not flinching in Rift. Magic flying bats.

Bellular did a decent job going over it here: Actual content. Basically Discord communities that facilitate boost runs between boosters and buyers and take a split of the gold. They were also caught up in real money trading / gold selling.

It's a lot of jerking off about rumors about the story of a video game. Who even gives a shit about WoW story? It's not like the game systems are all so good it's a "man if only the story was good too!" kind of deal. Systems are so bad, people don't even bother bringing them up anymore. The game...

In a perfect world where programming realities and tech debt do not exist, having Putress/Sylvanas split off into a third faction during Wrathgate would have at least let them do the DAoC style 'two weaker factions can team up against the stronger one' shit. Beyond that, your faction should only...

They had to force the Horde v Alliance shit down your throat to keep it relevant somehow. Legion ended with both sides teaming up and holding hands against a cosmic evil through the power of friendship. Kind of hard to go from fighting Argus and stopping Sargeras to worrying about whatever small...

She typed in /gu "That's it, I can't take it any more, I'm killing myself... auuuughhhhhhh"

Whatever they were doing used to work, it just wasn't scalable. Another lesson in managing team size vs making the devils bargain and requiring endless growth (cue Secrets).

"No negativity in the dojo" can work to your advantage if you're assertive enough to bulldoze any attempts at dissent. Prob good if one person is driving most of that though. I'd imagine by that point, most of the new people at Blizzard were only there because they were 'fans', so it's not like...

She should have sided with Putress after the Wrathgate. The Forsaken mo from release was to kill everyone with poison and then she bitched out because Putress was working with a Dreadlord. How does that even work now that the Jailer and the Dreadlords have been controlling everything including...

The double tap triggers feels clunky as shit. In general, the controller feels like you're handicapping yourself for no real benefits. I can see using it while leveling or gathering or something, but any reasonably challenging content it feels sub-optimal. - Target swapping is a pita / slow. -...

You know things are dire when people are pining for the days of Metzen lore. WoW lore was always this secondary background shit anyway. The first in game cinematic wasn't until what, the wrathgate? Then they leaned harder into the narrative storyline post WotLK, after the game already started...

Knowing them, it was just a bug introduced with the patch.

The interesting thing about the command missions (and FF14 systems in general) is that you level them up and utilize them across multiple jobs on the same character. Doing daily training / missions levels them up as well, but having a 'free group' of NPCs to level alts is pretty nice. It takes a...

Shit. I enjoyed Shadowbringers and Endwalker (mainly the Ascian / Emet-Selch shit). I'd rank it up there with FF6 or Chrono Trigger in terms of affect. Are you saying that I'm some kind of closeted weeb now? Is that kind of shit common in anime? I haven't watched any anime since Vampire Hunter D...

I feel for the weebs in FF14. All these wow people coming in, soaking up stream viewers and going like "who that fuck is that!?" during the story. Meanwhile they just were hiding in their little game enjoying being big shots in their fandom. They're like the comic guy who is dealing with...

Temporary systems were their answer to feature bloat. They were very open about the fact that you can't just keep adding new abilities to a class expansion after expansion or you end up like EQ2, needing a pipe organ to play. Around WoD they started playing around with modifiers to existing...

The biggest shake up they could do for TLP would be to find a way to actually break MQ and eyes. You can't compete for open world targets without 'cheating' (counting MySEQ as cheating fuckers). Would it make it more fun? Probably not since most people use them for player enforced QoL, but it...

As someone who played a good amount of EQ, is there anything of value to be had with EQ2 having never played beyond the starting area at release?

I'm sure they give him equal credit for all the good things that happened at Blizzard since 1991.

They do a good job with the skill floor/ceiling on the classes.

Or just don't tune shit that tightly? The obsession with balance leads to a lot of this thinking. It got to the point where they were so worried about having to balance things, they just stopped adding new abilities to the game that they couldn't throw out each expansion. It used to be raids had...

I always toggle off tank stance as well, is it necessary once swaps happen if you shirk in between? I've randomly gone from OT to MT enough times that I just practice an abundance of caution. Playing PLD but usually outdps the other tanks because I am a melee dps at heart.

Now they're freed up to go 'work' on other games you love.

I'm sad we don't get to live in the timeline where Steve Ballmer and Chris Metzen both run out on stage at Blizzcon going WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! about WoW 2.

I have a few macros that do the same ability with mouseover > focus target > target of target > target > self as the priority. The issue with queuing seems to be more with things that are important to keep rolling like dps GCDs. Things like Shirk, Cover, Intervention, TBN, etc all seem fine to...

I used to joke that when you were putting on a roof, the roof didn't email you at 8pm with an emergency. There was satisfaction in building something, but also in having your day actually end when the sun went down. Problem is, it's hell on your body. My boss told me early on, "Don't be doing...

It's definitely the 'unpopular kid in high school becomes a rock star' thing. Problem is, adults who relive their lost youth like that never have a moment of progress where they get past it, so they just spiral out of control for way longer than they should. Normal people get that shit out of...

How do you use oGCD heals while DPSing? Can you set healing targets or do you just switch targets back and forth during the GCD?

OG Mists of Pandaria challenge modes felt like that. I went in with a pre-made of decent raiders and we had a hell of a time our first time through just clearing, let alone timing it. I'll never understand artificial shit like M+ timers, enrage mechanics, etc. If some shit-cans want to take 4...

Some forced meme by corporate retards who want Rec Room / VRChat for boomers. <Furors of Heaven>. Worse, he has to lead it past OoW.

I don't know why people think of game studios as entities that can persist without their key developers/designers. Blizzard without Tigole and the old guard is like Journey without Steve Perry. Who gives a shit?

I figured there would be a mass exodus once the breast milk tap was turned off, but this just hastens that fate.

Seriously, how did it work out for Destiny 2?

Will massive megacorp(tm) give my game more soul or less soul?? :emoji_thinking: :emoji_thinking: :emoji_thinking: Shits dead dude.

It's a weird contradiction, since Blizzard has always been known to just take other people's ideas and polish them up. I'd say WoW started suffering the most from its own success when it killed off all the competition and lost new MMOs to steal ideas from. At that point, they just started...

20 years after Rare. Blizzard gets the rare opportunity to sell out twice.
