Would make sense since Warcraft was a rip off of Warhammer and Starcraft was a rip off of 40k.

I fell into the same trap. Came back, wrapped up 5.0 quests and then needed ilvl to enter the next dungeon. Decided to max out crafting/gathering instead. With self gathering and ishgard restoration (casual attire coffer$$$) I'm net positive gil and wrapping up a few facet quests today.

It's funny to see how different the approaches Max and Asmongold took to the game worked out. Both were seen as harbingers of doom and were being shit on when they first started. Asmongold embraced the story, reading all the dialogue out loud and spending a week clearing the ARR raids before...

You could have every add on and weak aura you want, I guarantee you won't be getting Cutting Edge. Mythic is tuned around the world first guilds and then slowly nerfed / soft nerfed with player power mechanics. Even then, my raid group is comprised of some very good players, but consistently...

To be fair to WoW, raiding with 20+ people is more difficult than raiding with 8. The old meme in raiding is that the difficulty of a fight only increases based on the number of people who have to have personal responsibility for not wiping the raid. Group retardation grows exponentially with...

The only thing I didn't like about the skill tree was that the points weren't earned by using the actual weapon. This meant you could farm out points in one build then just buy all the skills out of another weapon tree without ever having played it. I feel like it would have smoothed the...

How come in all this talk about playing quasi-mmo single player RPGs nobody is saying play The Secret World? :<

The Eternal September is real.

Pretty sure the suicide was Activision and not Blizzard. That was really the only 'shocking' thing in the claim. The rest was just a bunch of dorks saying inappropriate things and salary/promotion claims.

The feeling going around at the time was that in order to make loot valuable, it had to be extremely rare. Such that if you wanted good gear, you weren't expecting to get it on your character, but that you'd have to get something valuable and flip it on the AH to buy stuff that was good for you...

GINA/GamParse are pretty unoffensive since they just do audio alerts/overlay based on combat log entries that are being written out to disk through normal client behavior. Sniffing network / reading memory starts to cross the line into 'third party' grey area.

Do these plugins work like GINA, just monitoring the combat log file, or are they actually grabbing the data from running memory?

A lot of the 'carebear' argument came from the legacy of EQ more than the reality of it at the time WoW launched. People remembered corpse runs, xp loss, hell levels, forced grouping, etc and saw WoW as ez mode. I remember there were actual discussions about how it would end up 'top heavy'...

I was trying to 'warn' by buddy about this. The way they are using Classic is only going to work once or twice more. People will play WOTLK Classic because that's ultimately what they wanted all along anyway. Who the fuck is going to play Cataclysm Classic? They could treat it like LoY and merge...

Titan killed Blizzard. I can't wait for the tell all story. It'll be the last great thing to come out of Blizzard.

Their MO was always to steal other ideas from games and "Blizzardify" them. The problem is that once they started starving out the MMO market, there were no new MMOs for them to steal ideas from. After that, they started stealing from shit like D3 and, with Shadowlands, indie roguelikes.

Zach seems like a pretty nice guy.

Obviously they only wanted the 'problematic man' but had to add on a woman so they wouldn't get in trouble.

Gatekeeping in a hobby is a good thing, change my mind.

Please collect 10 bear asses for my wife's son!

The inevitable end of all WoW refugees.

The casuals quit when gear access is as easy as it's ever been, but thrived when they were basically denied access to the gear. This is exactly the point. When there is content unavailable to you, the horizons of the game world seem to stretch out forever. You "could" progress, but that would...

They are conflated in an mmo. The best gear should required you to interact with the community. Most of the problems Blizzard tries to solve with the game/policy are 'community' problems that should be handled by guilds / the community.

You know shit is dire when people think badges are still a good solution. FF14 already has that shit and you can go play the single player MMO if you want most of what you are talking about. There is a reason we called them welfare epics. WoW and most mmos suck because they neglected what was...

This is where the controversy stems from. The "mandatory arbitration" was actually a jello pudding bikini mud wrestling match. First one to get a thumb inside won.

People love to talk shit about wow. Not everyone has this thread, so they're forced to watch bellular and his cross eyed friend bitch about it instead.

Looks like it could be an Anne pro 2? Gotta go with brown.

I thought it was pretty funny doing the goldsmith quests and the guildmaster was saying that she was literally sexually assaulted by the little robot thing.

Pretty sure you'd need to do ng+ (for zero xp) for another job if you bought the skip. That or roll an alt. The skip marks the entire questline as complete from what I know.

Pretty sure Hamlet is responsible for modern WoW healer design? His blogs were usually pretty good, but they're the definition of the beep-boop systems focus EJ was famous for.

Just in case anyone still had thoughts that it was going to get better and that Jen and Mike were going to be able to turn it around for WoW.

It's not about a solo game, I just don't want to do autistic GDQ bullshit speedruns of dungeons. I quit when raiding required to you farm the shit out of M+ to gear. That, and Mythic raiding has gone from 'hard but accessible' to 'fuck you' difficulty so they can have a week of RWF. I play...

What is there to do in 9.1 if you don't raid/M+? This is an honest question. After the first week of running around killing Korthia rares, it's basically just doing your 3 renown and waiting until the next weeks reset.

I mean, this is real: Going off of The first Kul'tirans show up at 240/344 as male druids, followed by female druids. Main reason being druids get race specific forms. The next male is 302/344, warrior of course. Then the next female is 328/344 (shaman, so again unique totems) and then...

It's should be like fable and the higher your crafting jobs are, the fatter you are. That can be balanced by combat jobs making you thin again. WoW is just retarded. Nobody who is fat in real life wants to be fat in a fantasy game too. Additionally, anyone who wants to make a fat / short...

Who better to milk nostalgia from the old IPs than the old head of Vicarious Visions? They're already the ones doing the D2 Remaster. Just waiting for Warcraft III: Reforged: Remastered

It'd be pretty funny if Furor came back to the forum by pretending to be James all this time, and just randomly threw in little things about badges now and then as his only cover.

I mean, given what I have heard recently about this company, I'd imagine the only way she got the position is that she sucked Bobby's Kotick.

I don't watch shows hosted by rapists.
