    Watching Noble Giraffe on twitch for Syndicate side wars on vingolf, it seems like the meta strategy for purple attacking is: 1. Everyone spams AoEs and stands motionless, desynced on the flag. 2. Yell "GET ON THE POINT, GET ON THE POINT" and die. 3. Tell everyone to regroup, but then don't...

    Blizzard has always been really bad at disaster recovery wrt to PR. It's like they believe their own hype and never diffuse a situation by taking the piss out of themselves. It doesn't help that they're now completely staffed by the type of people who are completely incapable of self ridicule...

    Pretty sure Project Gorgon has zones that are weather extremes that require special gear/consumables. I think special gear can work as long as you have a really strong gearset/gear storage system. Nobody wants to play inventory management for shit they HAVE to lug around and sifting through...

    Damn, it's now canon that the PC has been cucked by another maw walker. That might actually be an interesting way to address the problem of the PC having killed the Lich King/Deathwing/etc. Instead of you being a nobody or the CHAMPION OF AZEROTH, it turns out their is just a fucking plague of...

    Yeah, kind of a dick move for Furor to not come back, grill us up some steaks and dish about all the shit that went down behind the scenes at Blizz. The rest of the world may see him as the face of sexual oppression, but we accept him as he is. Shit, I think I like him better now.

    It says on the top of the faction board 3/3 daily rewards remaining or whatever, and it says in the ui somewhere that the rewards were boosted by the daily reward. Thing is, the UI is just so bad at reporting information that you prob never even noticed the increase money. Shit, I'll be running...

    Gearsets would go a long way, also not having everything in your bags take damage when you die. Luckily most shit isn't even worth selling because if you wanted to sell shit after a death you'd have to repair it all before listing it. Add the repair cost to the insane trading post fees and I'd...

    Yes, they were on a timer and with normalized gear. If you wanted rewards, you had to beat them in a certain amount of time. For some groups though, clearing them was challenging enough. I never understood the timer as some metric of skill. Like if people want to take a long time to clear the...

    Even back in WotLK they threw away Azjol-Nerub for no reason. I know my friends were super excited and then Anub'arak was just a dungeon boss. They brought him back in that shitty raid that killed Ulduar, but it still was a waste of potential.

    I just want hard dungeons like OG tbc heroics or Mists challenge mode without a goofy timer. If you want to add a timer, make it diegetic like Baron runs or ZA or something. Doing M+ on release when everyone is undergeared trying to push keys is when it's fun, when you're not even sure if you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Blizzard has a bad habit of 'formalizing' the fun out of things that develop organically in the game. I feel like it stems from this kind of 'our way or the highway' where they can't stand to have things that exist outside of their rules. M+ kind of suffered from this in the sense that Legion M+...

    Blizzard has always taken systems from other games. It used to be they polished them and gave a well executed, simplified version of those systems (now it seems they just take them to 'have' them). FF14 does the same thing and has borrowed a lot from WoW. Admittedly since YoshiP is seemingly...

    Wrathgate was pretty well received. There are enough lorefags from the original batch of WoW gamers who don't mind a cutscene now and then. The trailer cinematics are always popular too. Post wotlk, the story kind of went into the who gives a shit territory, but by Legion is was...

    I've been selling the t3 ones easy enough. I just use shitty sub 1g crafting components off the market board and burn off repair parts that would cap anyway. The trick is just to price them under 50g/whatever the full repair price is. They DO have the problem that FF14 fixed, which is that you...

    The annoying(?) part of the town board quests is they never seem to move past the 'uses ore and fiber instead of ingots and linen' phase. I have to keep a bunch of uncombined resources around for those quests, which doesn't help on the storage issues. I still get quests for like 25 rawhide...

    Online speech translates to real world violence! But somehow online violence doesn't lead to real world violence. These people truly are the Tipper Gores of their generation. I think it's important for <Bowls of Fruit> to roll on a pvp server so they can go around committing pvp hate crimes...

    I get Valheim vibes with the music and tree chopping. I also randomly get Diablo stings in the music odd enough. The game was definitely modeled off of pvp survival games like Conan Exiles, Rust and to some extent Valheim, without all the building shit. Everyone knows it's gone through 14...

    The weirdest part of their lack of nuance is that not even their BAD GUYS can be sexist/racist/etc. Garrosh told Syvanas to 'watch your clever mouth, bitch' and Danuser removed it. Garrosh enacting genocide is ok, but a little bit of salty gendered language? Even HE is better than that people...
