    They nerfed the fuck out of that world-drop STR Trinket at the start of WoD because it was straight better than any raid trinket.

    It's one way to make sure people stay subbed As a DK, the Rune Change sounds like a bone thrown to scrubbers who were too incompetent to make sure they had death rune sets available for add spawns.

    You give vague time frames so that you don't get roasted if catastrophe makes you miss them. If you're earlier than the vague timeframe's end-point, people are happy.

    I'll approve of level scaling the day they take away shit dazing me off my mount. Now the pointless boar will take 12-15 seconds to no-risk murder instead of instant. Such immersion.

    Maybe they'll have a Diablo-3 style beta and all you can do is play through the first leveling zone.

    I think they're putting in just as much effort, just choosing fucking stupid ways to do it. The shit they put out does what they're trying to do about as well as it can, they just don't seem to think through the implications of the dumb shit they've been trying to do. The leveling and raids...

    It'll be a combination. They'll drop some amazing powerpoints, and none of it will make launch next November. They will then assure us it's fine, because their team is expanding to 25,000 workers for the next expansion, at which point we will get expansions bi-weekly fo realsies, scout's honor.

    DKs are fine overall. Frost is only better than Unholy on 2-3 target Cleave Fights, so most of what you see is Unholy since it has higher single-target damage and 4+ target damage. Unholy/Breath of Sindragosa burst during Ring Activations is just too sexy. Frost was ludicrous going into...

    Obviously an Oldschool MMO needs to be made in partnership with the AARP. Market to the elderly. Not many buttons, requires tons of free time, forces people to listen to your stories about your grandchildren if they want to get heals? Perfect target market.

    I wonder if the free 60 will at least pop-up a window with a story summary when you first log in, or if you're going to be really confused when you re-run-into each companion/story call-back for the first time.

    I dunno, Epic Card Game successfully kickstarted even though it was just a repackaging of a game they'd already made that was awful and died. People have short memories, and apparently no ability to google search before they toss their dollar at a thing.

    Always play whatever new class they add in expansions, they start off well-put-together, OP, and super fun. Then, the Blizzard Patch Machine gets to work making them homogenized, dull, and annoying.

    I did like that they found a conceptual way to make how often you "die" and stand back up make sense without make you some kind of shielded-by-the-gods zombie murder hobo in-setting like every other MMO. Instead, your morale breaks, you quit the fight. Also allowed for non-magical healers...

    I mean, this one came from listening to players during design. Players harped on about wanting "player reputation and skill" to matter, so they put in a mechanic that pariahs the retards. Of course, they overlooked the fact that for most casual content, you need retards to pad your way up to...

    He's good at Mediocre. A lot of false positive came from him taking something that was asspiss and making it Mediocre, which seemed like a great step up at the time. Mediocre looks less enticing when it's the baseline, not the fix. He was also a pretty chill guy to talk with, for what...

    I doubt Smed would invest in Pantheon, the design goal isn't a mobile cash shop game, so it goes against the soul of Smed's futurist game design vision.

    Well, Jace's seeing limited play in Legacy, moderate play in Modern Grixis (3 Blue Jund decks landing in the GP top 32, plus Open/5k Appearances), and was like half of the field at the first open of the new standard format.

    It's like this because LGS have spent the last decade pushing a narrative that they're poor down-trodden charities that you are morally obligated to support at all costs.

    Yeah, I started this back up yesterday, got in-game, and my friend immediately noticed me on and went "GOD DAMNIT RAF REWARDS." Leveled a new character to 35 today, definitely much better without the bear-asses. It feels kind of pointless to actually use the complementary exp boost items, so...
