Good laugh today from the Pro Tour. Wizards is apparently going to be manually fixing last round pairings instead of letting pairings be made naturally, to make sure they've got suspenseful matches with storylines for coverage. "Pro"motional Tour indeed.

Pro Tour Eldritch Moon Organized Play Announcement Grand Prix 2017 schedule. Apparently calling all Euros filthy cheaters live on stream wasn't enough to disqualify Omaha from GP hosting. Hooray for 20minute commute Grand Prix. Whole shit ton of centrally-located Grand Prix during...

But I want to get my nets the honest way, through quality content posting! Wait, fuck that noise, I only come up with like one good pun per 30 shitposts.

Topping beta meters means getting the thirteen inch studded dildo rammed up your class's ass in the .X patch that implements the raid tiers. Although they might err on the side of not reaming Ass, in an attempt to keep the rogue class from being depopulated by DH rerolls taking up raid slots.

The consequences will never be the same.

Went from never having more than 20k at a time, to having 2.8million when they patched out the gold missions. And I bought a dozen wow-tokens when they were 22k. Amazing expansion for anyone who had a bunch of alts at cap, and was lazy.

RE: What made Everuqest Great? RPG-Background Players instead of Vidya Gaem Background Players. Damn kids and normies ruin everything.

This is obviously all a plot for Hodj to get a big forum and then sell it to TenTonHammer!

Unfortunately no GenCon for me this year, definitely going next year as they're rereleasing my old flame (Legend of the Five Rings) there. I miss when they used to release From the Vault at GenCon, and you'd have to try to figure out what random weird criteria was required to get a copy that...

We'll need to petition to have Rerolled Skeletons turned into Rererolled Skeletons.

Can we get a WoW subforum!?!?

I'll do what I usually do. Buy expansion. Play the entire time. Also, if the mods wanted proper trolling, they should have renamed MMORPG Discussion to WoW Discussion, and made General MMORPG Discusion a subforum of that.

Fantasy Flight Games forum in an uproar this morning. Company's making a Marvel Dicemaster's knock-off using Star Wars, and its using randomized packs of dice+cards. The squawking from the LCG crowd that FFG is DRIVING A DAGGER INTO THEIR HEAAAART is hilarious. It's almost like after...

Playing since wave 1 of invites, it's a pretty solid game. Don't see it ever eclipsing something like hearthstone, though. It has enough cards that you feel like there's always something out there that you want, but is generous enough with cards that you don't feel like it's something you...

Your class Artifact quest is also scaled based on your ilvl going in, and the scaling's wonky on several of them such that it's actually significantly harder (relatively) if you're in non-shit gear.

Aether appears on multiple planes, in different forms, but is tied to the blind eternities. If I remember right, the aether on Mirrodin was readily corrupted by the Phyrexian Oil. The second set of Kaladesh is "Aether Revolt." Will be interesting to see if killing off two of the Eldrazi...

Remember Enhance on WoD beta? Remember Enhance on WoD Launch (Although it got better once the AOE-heavy fights started cropping up in later raid tiers)? Do not trust any appearance of not-sucking, for Blizzard is a fickle mistress.

Only downside will be that if you want to buy legion ore/skins/whatever off the AH at the start of the expansion instead of gathering them yourself, they'll prolly be above your paygrade since people will be burning a hole through their stash of WoD gold the first few weeks.

Yep, s'what happens when 3/4 of the player base says "Fuck this" and leaves, you lose the mod-makers too.

Anything that's good this month, will be hammered into garbage on August 30th. This is the way of pre-patch.

You lose/have reduced effectiveness OH SHIT buttons, but they did that to every tank. Your self-healing is still better than the other tanks. In Legion, Blizzard focused heavily on Tanks just being a meatbag that exists to hold threat while healers do the heavy lifting, so don't expect to be...

You got the weapons because you are a monk, not because you're BM. Windwalker is dual-wield-only in Legion.

There should be a pair of 705 1handers in your mail. No, Unholy is a pet spec. Pet Management just became even more important with Sludgebelcher giving you a positional deathgrip tied to your pet.

Additional note: Warbinder Ink is still used to purchase older inks as of patch, and herbs are 4GR/each on the North American Trading Post today, so that might be a good way to spend your resources, depending on your server economy.

Yes, the crates become Garrison Resource shit tomorrow. Turn auto-loot on, put your crate on your hotbar, and mash the 1 button until your inventory is full then sell; repeat for a couple hours. Also, spend down all your garrison resources today on either Materials or Bags of Gold, depending...

Fun prerelease weekend. White was fantastic, red had some surprising stand-outs (Didn't expect Thermo-Alchemist to pull as much weight as he did). Got to see a Nahiri ultimate out an Emrakul in sealed, and another guy actually succeeded in opening and melding Brisela.

Depends on how shit leveling is on a major server at releaseIn other expansions, you could quickly level past the 'rush' of folks and get to the relatively empty zones to level in; in this one, every zone will be populated from jump. Less populated than any individual "starter" zone has been in...

At a couple points during beta it was superior to grind mobs for the first 1-3 levels, while your scaling was still high, then swap over to questing. Of course, these were also passes where it was possible to run out of quests and not be level-cappedBut pocketing some quests for level-cap can...

Monk mobility is still good, but all the Monks are becoming DHs anyway.

"Barely keeping your current market entertained" is a little silly when Civ 5 has been consistently top 10 on the Steam active player #s lists. Not by genre, but by "is a video game." While I prefer Civ4, Firaxis is certainly keeping their market more than just barely entertained

It was pretty amusing at launch, when buff-spells produced more aggro than taunts.

Enhancement shamans are pretty happy overall. A few people with stockholm syndrome actually enjoy ground-targeted maintenance buffs, so are pissy about totems being gone, but fuck those people.

Yeah, sorry, the 5/7.

The Flash Emerge cards looked about as boss on camera as expected, at the LRR Pre-Pre-Release. Flash Hexproof 5/9 fucks up some combats. Tamiyo incredibly brutal in sealed, as expected, since sealed is largely creatures bashing into each other, the format that best synergizes with her.

Pretty sure blizzard just figures anyone still playing PTR after WoD isn't going to cancel their sub for any reason anyway, so best to appeal to new/returning players with the streamlined, flavor-not-mechanics-focused specs.

It was kind of depressing to see the number of respected magic pros they got on their design team... and all they made was a magic knock-off, adapted to the realities of video-gaming (can't have the complex timing interaction set-up magic requires and flow well). Still, of the free to play...

The momentary delay can actually be helpful for Feral, since it takes them several seconds to get the 5-point savage roar into Blood Talons Heal into the window for their snapshotting 5-point rip (If you're going with Savage Roar).

Sabertooth helps, and it's also probably the best DPS talent in its row with proper snapshotting. Lets you ignore Rip as long as you can maintain time-on-target, and it lets you keep your ridiculous initial trinkets+pots+heroes Rip rolling as long as the boss is available.

If my Serra Sanctums/Cradles go up over $200 I have 0 compunctions against selling that shit and just buying some $3 4th Wave Black Core counterfeits to replace them in my EDH decks. Not like I'm going to play Legacy Elves in a tournament anytime ever.

I would say most classes' "fun" isn't balanced around a complete artifact. Most artifacts are shitty +MOAR PASSIVE DPS/HPS the whole way through their tree, as you'd expect from them needing to crank out 37 of the things. There are a few specs where artifact nodes you get further in are very...
