    The judge seems to be giving the jury every chance to come back with an acquittal before he rules it a mistrial. He has, on multiple occasions, implied he can/will take actions followed by a shrugged, "but, we'll see how it plays out" ... or maybe I'm still coming down off thar Audit Thread hopium

    Real talk - When are we gonna get some decent channel structure up in the Discord? "Group #1" "Group #2" and "Raid" aren't likely to be enough when Classic goes live. Some suggested additions: "Stuck in Q Over9000!?@!" (for those that clearly won't be playing any time soon, and need to figure...

    BfA is increasingly a time-sync with seasonal store items that seemingly get more design focus than class armor or tier sets (both of which dont really exist any more). So...

    Trading actual in-game experience for a server name you will - at most - glance over in passing, is stupid.

    Right. Enter the argument for choosing a Medium-Full realm: less likelihood of lost game time due to queues/crashes early on and a healthy but not over-saturated realm long-term Imagine pushing any kind of decent rank, or attempting any of the world bosses on a realm of 10k, or higher... nothx

    If this is the case, I see little threat of becoming a "dead realm" on any server at Medium population and up. In fact, if that kind of scaling is true, it sets Full realms up to be an absolute cluster-fuck.

    Blaumeux might be a butter face, but could fit that mold. More scantily clad than those two in game, with some kinky dialog to boot

    Beta and stress-test seemed to show them to be one of, if not THE, fastest to 12 (fastest out of starting zones) because of the strength of earth shock

    Threat has nothing to do with it. "GoA" = Grace of Air, the agility buff totem that - along with Strength of Earth - would help mitigate the loss of Blessing of Kings/Might. You have a reduced likelyhood of being in a group (totems are group only, not raid-wide) where the shaman is putting down...

    Won't be as viable on Horde side - a lack of blessings and reduced likelihood of being provided GoA totem are pretty big hits to potential dps.

    I prefer the idea of a low pop server for pvp. You have less competition / more control in the ranking grind, and i believe they already said BGs will be cross-server.

    Claiming level 60 in under 3.5 days /played with optimized group. Pretty legit if even relatively accurate. (not so much referencing the guide - I'm sure its useful - but the concept of dungeon leveling as a preferred path to 60)

    Is there any meaningful content you can't beat with a variety of group comps? Being upset that the absolute extreme subset of min/maxers use specific comps/specs/talents/etc... seems silly

    The "waiting for CDs" comment refers to what people would be doing to push keys as high as possible, because at some point that would be the only way to do so (like skipping packs and cheesing mechanics in other ways is now). It wasn't something I was suggesting would be commonplace for low...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, sitting around for 2-5min after each pull would be less entertaining. Also, skipping and death runs aren't needed outside of keys that have been pushed past the diminished returns on gear rewards, so I don't see that as a problem. If you want to cry about how the most min/maxed groups...

    If it wasn't timed, you would see people cheesing in different and less entertaining ways (waiting for CDs every pull). Timed runs are fine, and there is a limited amount you can skip. The challenge mode and mythic + design has been one of the more fun/rewarding additions to the game -...

    Well, yeah... and when raids consistently get to dick away time playing the runner rng game on the first hurdle of an encounter with poor loot incentive, they stop bothering with it past the first kill for the achieve. Historically, getting people to move out of fire in a timely manner (even...

    No, they definitely stopped because finding enough people to consistently execute orb running was too hard. Heck, living that pug life, sometimes even finding a hunter that knew how to reset the boss was a struggle...

    They've definitely gamed us on item/tier set design; it has absolutely gone to poo. Not only are class sets gone, challenge mode transmog (a feature I really liked) were nixed, as well as watering down the uniqueness of the elite pvp sets to relative "meh"ness. The amount of fun, interesting, or...

    Curious what everyone's thoughts on leeway are - Given that it was a mechanic put in place to adjust for latency issues, it seems reasonable to at least reduce the effect relative to the net reduction in user latency from then to now. From the WoW Classic "Not a Bug" List blue post: I’ve...

    I think you're letting what is likely to be the smallest subset of the most extreme players "ruin" a game in which their playstyle will have almost no effect on you. In fact, you'll more likely be able lean on the no-life neckbeards in the guild to help improve your more casual or slower paced...

    As far as I know, yes, that was the best time from Vanilla. However, that same person (Joana) along with dozens of others have been min/maxing routes and mining data from the beta since it went live. Based off the xp/hr they've been getting up to level 40 and estimates from the quest/mob xp data...

    Based off the the leveling speeds and currently mined data from the beta, it won't be uncommon for people to be hitting 60 with around 4 days /played, and that is inclusive of groups that will dungeon farm the whole way up - giving them a decent chance of farming a solid amount of their BiS...
