    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    What part of capped progression don't you get? There's no prize you're chasing here. Regardless, if you let people queue as a group of 5, you're still going to roll people, get a bunch of kills and honor. But the game itself will be competitive. Everyone will end up having less non-games.

    What extra rewards? Honor is capped at R3 right now lol, what do you want? Being able to get 0-3 in faster than 1 reset? Twice as many WSG marks of honor for playing in the 10v10 queue? Fuck it, sure, but you actually won't have much fun doing that, and will progress slower. 5-person cap is...

    Look, I've done the elite pvp thing in DAoC and in WoW many times over. R13 in vanilla, glad, high rated RGBs, etc. For the overall capped progression, semi-casual vibe of SoD it is the best compromise. What is the point of try-harding when you can cap ranks in single week? Also, your point...

    Just capping queues at 5 people would solve most of these problems without any kind of complicated solution. Honor ranks are capped by phase, it's not even like there's a big prize to be try-harding for. You can currently cap a char in a single week.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I just think everyone would have more fun if premades were capped at 5 people. People who want to play as a group would still get to play together. Nobody actually wants to manage a 10, 15, or god-forbid 40 person PvP raid, people just feel like they're forced to do it.

    Much easier would be to just not let people queue up with more than a group of 5 for any battlegrounds. It's worth trying in SoD, anyway.

    Market is basically looking for excuses to go up at this point. I'd say the greed index is high, but I also think that the dollar dropping off its highs is also contributing heavily to equity gains, so this might just be a legit normalization.

    Civil War (2024)

    It's 8 weeks into a civil war. Nothing is working. No one is going to work. Most Americans are dead from having a lot of guns and not a lot of food. Americans are eating each other because the steady supply of goyslop coming in our ports to feed our fat faces has been cut off. You're...

    Civil War (2024)

    No other countries consume 25% of the world's resources due to sitting atop a massive global trade network, a trade network that would immediately breakdown and cause mass starvation, further civil disorder, and probably cannibalism. That's what you're missing. Also, there are very few...

    6 weeks. But again, at the point where we're in that condition, America IS being actively invaded by our enemies. And it wouldn't matter how 'unified' we are against it when there's less than half of us left. Again, this is all nonsense. Any conflict or catastrophe that's localized to the US...

    They don't need to hit our territory. Just cut off America's supply of cheap shitty food, sneakers, and electronic gadgets and sit back eating whatever the Chinese equivalent of popcorn is (probably bugs, almost certainly definitely bugs.)

    I leveled rogue first and honestly it felt terrible at low levels compared to warrior or pally. Once you get poisons and Deadly Brew, your damage goes way up, but 10-20 was miserable.

    It's all nonsense because of supply chains.

    Civil War (2024)

    These types of stories are always stupid because they treat America as existing in a vacuum. Any significant shooting war in the US would be immediately met with China instantly re-arranging the global trade order and the complete collapse of either side's economy along with the rest of the...

    Ashenvale has been hit or miss. The between-battles random PvP on the weekend was fun, with tons of activity in the zone. Most of the time, the actual battle event is just a PvE race. But it does work sometimes. A few times, we accidentally had to play the battle as intended, and that was...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    There's no rank decay so even if you don't hit R3 this week, you'll still get 80% progress through your current rank and hit it next week even with just casual pvp. At least, that's my understanding of how it works. Anyway, this has been fun and I take back what I said about the community.

    Mounts do not go 200% speed. But yeah, they could definitely do 50% mounts at level 20. They're not OP in Ashenvale. PvP zone-specific mounts could be 75%.
