Not a huge fan of Civ5's city states. Makes the game feel much easier. I'd be more of a fan if they did the crazy shit they rarely do (go on a conquest path) more frequently. As they normally are, they're just loot pinatas where you can brute force whatever resource you're missing using gold.

Why are those 30 story tall samurai about to attack Stormwind?

Brave Archer+Arcane Shot is some amusing cancer. Innervate+Yog is hilarious. Turn 2 Yog is 100% fair, because it has like a 50% chance to kill itself.

Not much wrong after Gods, and nothing wrong after Brave New World. Base Civ 5 was... a game.

Can't wait. Mostly can't wait until it gets an Expansion that turns it into a great game a year or two from now, since that appears to be the status quo for the product line.

Beta invites have started flagging accounts today. My first Recruit a Friend Account, from back when they started the program, that was only subbed for 2 months, got in over my actual accounts. So I assume it's completely random.

I moved to a high pop server after my old backwater-server guild crapped out this expansion. Farming random stuff/questing on the new 4 tradeskill alts I have to level, the high pop is annoying, but for everything else it's been pretty great. I imagine it will be a fucking nightmare at...

A ton of the casual players in my guild were balls deep on Transmog collecting. Different strokes for different folks. I personally preferred the way it was pre-x-mog. Putting up with some fuckin derpy looking sets was worth it for having gear be an actually recognizeable measure of...

I doubt we'll see general gold costs increase, since that only hurts new/returning players. Much more likely to see the sinks on superfluous/vanity/convenience items.

Your graves will permanently take up 6x3x6 dirt space!

High pass was so fucked, beset by gnolls, orcs, goblins, and random adventurers camping their guards.

It'll be interesting to see how.much the next convenience gold sink item (think mammoth, yak) will cost. They need to bleed some gold out of the hyperinflated economy or anyone starting or returning after treasure missions are removed will be right fucked.

Would be amusing if they lost the 1.12 Vanilla code, but still had the beta code. "WE'RE GOING EVEN MORE OLDSCHOOL THAN THOSE VANILLA NOOBS."

This is why I always play new classes the Expansion they're released. They always feel fantastic (and are often overpowered, but that's not really related to how smooth their gameplay flows), because the devs haven't had time to second-guess themselves and dick the whole thing over too hard...

Blizzard devs executing the Nost team via Guillotine at noon tomorrow, streamed live on twitch.

TACTICAL RETREAT!

No official word. Prepatch is generally 1-2 months before the actual launch, so probably some time in June, following the Movie.

I've been experimenting with running 4-5 c'thun "buffers" in evolve shaman just to get twin emps for the amusing "turn 8 double 8drop.". Being able to evolve the 2/3, 2/1, or 4/2 (4/2 being cut most of the time, too many good 4cost shaman duders) into something more impactful after you get the...

After a 9 month wait, Set 4 is finally out. The Empower Mechanic is pretty nice, reminds me of rocking the Kavu Titans back in the day. Infinitrix might finally challenge Vampire King's "4-drop finisher" slot dominance, but unlikely. Glad to see B/G get a big focus on the graveyard, thought...

I loved the class quests that were long but rewarded imba as fuck items for their level. Warrior had the Rage Chest, Paladin's god damn hammer, if I remember right there was a Druid hat that reduced shapeshifting costs (and got removed from the game or nerfed some time during TBC because it was...

Decided to get back into this game since GVG is rotating out. Sold a playset of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, and turned it into 300 Amazon Coins. Already opened: 80 Packs of Classic 40 Packs of TGT 50 Packs of WotoG 2 Adventures $55 in Amazon coins left. The question is: GVG 40 pack before...

Blizzard's next IP is a Dating Sim.

Big shakeup announcements at the Pro Tour: -No More Modern Pro Tour Opinion: Good, can we get a side of Twin and Pod unban to go with that now that you don't need the format to be "interesting"? -Platinum Pro and Hall of Fame Appearance Fee cut from $3000 to $250, because "$3k wasn't enough...

At least they were nice enough to guarantee everyone a copy of Cthun.

The folks at Bethesda/Direwolf Digital finally started spilling the beans on their Digital Card Game offering, Elder Scrolls: Legends. The Elder Scrolls Legends Being designed by a couple Magic the Gathering pros, so should be interesting to see how it works out. Doesn't look particularly...

The Great Liberal Conspiracy arrayed against Curt-In-Particular continues to seek his destruction!

Seal of Blood FTW.

I'm looking forward to the Ret Paladin rage when they're forced to use their Greater DPS Blessing on another class in raid, instead of themselves. When Unholy's Frenzy ability was best cast on Rogues and Warriors the DK community took an absolute shit on itself.

They stopped giving judges Promos as "payment" in order to avoid this. Which in turn lead to the spike in Grand Prix Entry Costs, since the judges' actual employers, the TOs, had to offer more compensation to make up for the now lost judge promos (they still technically exist, but the Exemplar...

On large servers that'll prolly just translate to *every* zone getting fucked out the gates, with no ability to "outlevel" the fuckery.

It could be a dungeon of old-god worshipping trolls.

No wonder they shut down Nost, we've got another 4-5 months of waiting for Legion, and people may have looked for something wow-related to do.

Someone needs to edit a jump-scare into the end of that video.

No. Just a deadline of the end of september on the pre-sale. They want it out sometime either shortly before or after the movie launches.

If they hadn't doubled the size of the team we'd be stuck in HFC for 3 years!

It's just weird when they say sifting the code is unpossible/a sisyphean undertaking... when it very clearly is possible, since 3-5 dudes working in their spare time were able to do the bulk of it. And plenty of other groups were also able to mostly do, albeit more shittily, with similarly...

I am confused as to why Crafted Gear is still Limit 3 at this point in the expansion.

But they refresh/reroll at random points throughout the day, obviously making them completely different from dailies, which refresh at 2am or whatever. But beyond that, it's fine. Dailies serve their purpose, even if I hate them as a gating mechanism.

Amused by the mini-game going on amongst the various private server boards, where they're all cross-posting trying to discredit each other in a bid to make sure their server soaks the nost pop.

It'd just be current classes/content level-capped at 60. The lazy is strong. See Mission Tables 3.0. The real reason they doubled the size of their WoW team was so that they'd have enough people to field two soccer teams during work hours.
