    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    People don't say anything of the sort. They install an addon that puts the item's info in a tooltip and they're done. Then they go and get the LFR version of the item and transmog it onto their piece of shit. You can't really be saying that this stuff isn't watered down bigtime. Really.

    He's right, though, and you can't really deny that he's right. Server coupling, cross-realm zones, LFR, etc. have all watered down the notion of a server community. No one gives a shit about any of that anymore.

    Given the shit sandwich they've come up with so far with Mythic, this is entirely believable.

    YEAH. I mean, wait, I was both of those things. Damnit, there are still 1 or 2 people that think I can half play WoW, Noodle, why you gotta be such an ass?

    I do -not- miss that shit. At all. Ever. I don't really think that's a reasonable argument. There are a great number of fights, even in ToS, where a single missed cue is a wipe.

    If you threw most of the high end raiders from Vanilla/BC at even H NH/ToS, without exposing them to the changes in WoW over the years, they'd very quickly go mad and quit.

    You aren't playing now. Why complain? Instead, come check out Legion, because it's pretty decent. WoD would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth. I've played since closed beta. I try not to waste too much time complaining. Doesn't improve my chances at legendaries.

    So, no longer playing, but complaining. K. Edit: Should have said preaching, not complaining. My bad.

    They still don't have a Hulu app for AppleTV?

    Every time they all proc in synergy, the raid leader has to yell "and I'll form the head". Related pic (that ties in nicely with @xzi's point as well):

    Easy there, trooper. Read the last few pages again before you paint over everything with the wrong hyper-inflated statement.

    That, and it forces people to pay for server transfers to join up with other guilds/their friends/whatever. More money in Blizzard's pocket due to the inconvenience of "servers". It's like the concept of long distance phone calls. Why do we still pay for that shit?

    Might have to grab that, then. I might switch to Bigwigs, too, as I've heard it's (still) much more lightweight than DBM.

    Haven't looked into it much. Does it do the same things, or does it just tell you to stop standing in the fire?

    Kil'jaeden is an interesting fight, but it's completely unforgiving and just nasty in the RNG department. I think that Gul'dan was tuned a lot better. If I had to pick an interesting fight from ToS, it would be Desolate Host, Fallen Avatar, Maiden of Vigilance in that order (although Maiden is...

    I play because playing MMOs with good people is fun, and this MMO generally has more attention paid to it than any other in terms of updates, QoL and polish. Generally. Let's not bring Blizzard RNG into this discussion because I'll look the fool.

    We verrrry rarely have any drama in the forum guild, and when we do, it leaves. We're not exactly subtle with canouches. I like that word. I think I'm gonna use that.

    Sold my 6s+ and am patiently waiting for the 28th now to order the X 256GB. I'm using my wife's old iPhone 5 in the meantime. It feels like I've stepped back into last century. This thing is sloooowwwww.

    It'll give us enough time to find 20 people and clear all the mythic content we couldn't do, amirite?

    The obelisk/orb spawns wrt the placement of the vortex are the RNG. Sometimes, the configuration is just insane, especially with more than 2/3/9. I also hate the fact that you can't heroic leap over the orb spawn (to get out of a nasty placement situation) or you trigger it. So dumb.

    I hate that fight on Heroic. I just hate the doubled down RNG in phase 3. Have you tanked it, Khane?

    Maiden is kinda neat. Naxx++. I have no issues with them reusing mechanics as long as they add variation, and they did. The zone isn't that bad, really. KJ can eat a dick, though.

    Yeah. We watch in 4K on Netflix from time to time, but I think we'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, and almost none of the downloaded stuff I have is 4K, so meh. If I hadn't found a really good Black Friday deal on a TV a couple years ago, we wouldn't even have 4K.

    Apple/Mac Thread

    I forget why we went with Roku, but it's pretty much a toss-up these days, I think. I think it was the lack of support for some things like Hulu or whatnot back in the day, but that's probably no longer an issue.

    Apple/Mac Thread

    If I didn't have a Roku 4K already, I might go for this. I just don't see any reason to switch at this point. Definitely going to throw a wad of cash at the new phone, though.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Nope, certainly not lifting anything before the repair is done, and not for a while after, either. As to the purpose, I do it for exercise. But, again, not before the repair -- and perhaps not at all, depending on the answer I get from the doctor(s). I've been lucky and this has been...

    There are elements of the KJ fight that piss me off so much that I just want to log off. So much RNG on top of RNG stacked next to RNG. It's just not a good thing. It's not even the soaks anymore. We have those down no problem. Phase 3 is just a clusterfuck of RNG.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    This is probably a silly question, but bear with me. I have a recurring hernia (2nd time now). It's asymptomatic, as it was the first time. Haven't gone for the operation yet but it'll happen sometime in the near future. I have some weights at home and I do some lifting, but I'm assuming that...

    Do you know how to do mechanics? Do you do more DPS than the tanks? You are officially not "that guy". Welcome!

    I'm holding my breath on this one until Antorus is released, to see how the Argus version of the NH/ToS pre-questing works out. If they don't manage to fuck that up, this might actually be a decent content patch.

    I lul'd. Xe'ra was so poorly written, though. Hey, look guys, it's the progenitor of virtually an entire species, here to tell us about our doom -- no, wait, it's a battery to empower our weapons. Carry on.

    A million good reasons? Do tell. Oh, wait, Illidan needed something to take from you so he could practice being Khadbro Jr. That's reason enough.
  39. Alkorin

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Oh, so Illidan didn't just want to keep them a la Khadbro? Sneaky. I didn't notice them getting removed from my inventory when I entered the rift -- I mean the invasion point.

    You need to do the quest line up to the point where Greater Invasions are unlocked. Nothing special required after that.
