    The Maw looks a lot like the usual "max level" zone but unlike Suramar, they knew early they couldn't finish it in time so they kept the map, scrapped everything and "designed" / rushed 5-6 dailies and weeklies, a timegating mechanic to stretch content and few rares to cherrytop it. Torghast is...

    For EU a lot of those bots are from russia or former USSR countries, they use listings of stolen credit card numbers, stolen pre-paid time cards, phished Paypal accounts and such, they create accounts -> bot -> move / sell the gold, rinse and repeat. Blizzard isn't really profiting from that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Shadowlands content is mostly timegated and some of the "systems" in place have weekly caps and catchup mechanics: raiding, M+ and PvP start 3 weeks after release so there's no hurry to poopsock your leveling experience and things like renown (covenant rep) are weekly capped. Also there's no war...

    Good summary of "we really had some nice studio pitching and daddy helped but while this is going nowhere I'd really like to show you guys how children acting is the shit".

    Guys, we're in prepatch mode, no fucks should be allotted to gear yourself at all, just wait for release and level your character while enjoying the scenery, none of your +3 second stat choices will ever matter unless you're level 60. Shadowlands leveling is about a relaxed 1-2 evening playtime...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Most AC prior to Black Flag were '"hey let's Splinter Cell this target, oh wait there's combat happening, just press Y to dodge til next year" formulaic, unless you were going for the perfect kill run, combat was a Simon game chore.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Yeah I loved Greece world and I'm fond of the raiding Viking stuff too. To be honest Origins world was good too but to me because I only like my egyptians in Stargate or Rome.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    12 hours in and I didn't encounter any performance issues (9900k and 2080) but sometimes the UI lags in world map and other menus. The game is gorgeous and combat gameplay feels better than Origins, similar to Odyssey, they simplified inventory / loot and I'm not sure how I feel about that...

    I don't think that's completely accurate anymore because during BFA release the Tiragarde circuit dried up quite fast with more people joining the route everyday with their lvl 100 alts. On a Tiragarde Warmode OFF zone, early morning (6 to 9) you got almost all the nodes, while as soon as midday...

    Multiboxers and botters aren't mutually exclusive, anyone saying otherwise never went to Nazjatar or did Tiragarde Riverbud circuit. The problem isn't with your Johnny-40-elems dude running Alterac or instant killing everyone in Warmode ON zones, while he's evidently bringing lag everywhere he...

    It's only my opinion and I haven't tested it, but I feel The Maw content looks worse than islands.

    This kind of interaction, where one person has fun at the expense of another one, is heavily frowned upon by Blizzard, I wouldn't be surprised if they removed the loss on death mechanic.

    The Maw feels like a "history developing..."' waiting room with as @Rime said little to do with timegating, no mount, not much to explore and elite mobs everywhere. I don't mind the no mount / elite mobs stuff but I really hate being on the clock, it seems like an idea created by people not...
