    Excedrin Migraine is the closest thing to magic. I think it even has time travel listed on the bottle.

    Only time I would use the map like that was when I'm trying to remember which stupid name I need to click to get to Bozja. Luckily now I am part of the teleport menu master race.

    Most people just want to reexperience 5.0/5.3 while sharing it with someone else who is seeing it for the first time. People who watch outside of that should be considered suspect.

    Pyro is kind of a cunt. He's always scolding his chat and acting all hypersensitive and shit. Really not fun to watch. People are only watching him because of his WoW meltdown to see the lore fag while he's doing the 'most emotional' part of the story. The whole Amaurot thing showed he was...

    Yeah, maybe Venat didn't sunder him because we told her he was important later. Time loops are fucky things.

    New World is a great game if you're the type of MMO player who picks up something new, plays the shit out of it, peters out in the last few levels before max level and then never plays the game again.

    Yeah, because PvEers can only stomach stepping into shitty WoW PvP when game is healthy enough for them to be willing to do so. If there was zero PVE player power incentive to step into PvP, it would be a complete desert wasteland, like it was when people didn't have to maintain their rating so...

    No way. Seems everyone who goes into there is changed. I've seen people who made Good Posts™ that were critical of game design decisions of Blizzard go in there and come out posting the most sanitized, safe, dick sucking shit. It's either a cult or they make you sign something that says you will...

    These generic numbers are bullshit anyway. As Mist says, they just tuck these people into made up 'producer' roles and shit. I don't give a fuck if 50% of your staff is female because you expanded your marketing, social media or accounting depts. I want you to show that 50% of ALL departments...

    I know this is pre-release so it's prob mostly (hopefully) an animatic, but after just finishing the Endwalker MSQ this shit is fucking painful.

    Ion was less a product of his corporate resume and more them trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle they had with Tigole and Furor by hiring community members. Unfortunately, that community was EJ.

    Them tearing shit apart, only to see putting the pieces together again as some novel victory is just an in-game lore explanation for what the dev team has been doing with things like tier sets.

    They knew the fury they'd feel from Danuser if they messed up his spank bank material. Also, Sylvanas looks like some old lady with way too much plastic surgery. I feel like they hired some game porn webm artists for this shit.

    EOMM is some darks art shit like esoteric morality, where it really relies on no one finding out you're doing it. Once people know that's what you're doing, their behaviors shift and your 'churn' calculation will change as a result.

    Got through nice and early and had a bug where no abilities or voices were audible. Restarted my client and back in a 2400 queue. :cool:

    More like the Ship of Theseus. If, over time, you replace every staff member, is it still Blizzard? :emoji_thinking:

    Hit a 28 queue early, went and made some food and was afk'd out. Didn't think it'd matter because of the queue. Came back about an hour after and queue was 1900+ (on Gilgamesh).

    Board members have a legal responsibility to the financial interests of the shareholders. A corporation exists to make money, not good games, good food, happy customers, etc. As long as they are making money with mobile systems, milking whales, etc, then they are doing a 'good job'. The point...

    Sure, GRRM found mild success inverting the tropes of Tolkienesque fantasy with asoiaf. Danuser has shown his mastery by turning THOSE tropes on their head. He's just so far beyond anything we could even imagine.

    Yeah, they clearly wanted a D3 style 'build diversity' idea with legendaries. Shit, they ripped off a bunch of other D3 systems in Legion so why not the legendaries? The 'problem' was the disconnect between the MAU/control crowd and the gameplay crowd. Clearly, D3 works because you can grind out...

    Yes, very literally this. At least a few years ago. I saw a panel at Blizzcon about dungeon design and they basically would go to the story people with the bosses they made and ask them to see how they could fit into the lore / story. I believe the zone they were designing was Shrine of Storms...

    I thought they just spent the last 3 pages arguing about how Blizzard doesn't need good games? Seriously, Secrets needs to just make up some shit like a "G Corp" where the corporation is legally obligated to balance profit with good game design. That, or just keep your company under 15 people...
