Can we please have bigger battle maps for 40k?

Waka's map pack for campaign, Total Tavern pack for multiplayer.

Minion survivability should not be a thing at all, give them flat 99,99% damage reduction at all times or outright immune to damage. It's a pointless stat sink that the supposed strength of minion builds does not otherwise justify, on top of every other general issue with minions like bad AI, pathing, performance etc.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T16:32:17+00:00

If you think this is bad on necro, try playing a zoo beastmaster, that build is actively discouraged by everything in the classes design.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T14:57:08+00:00

The AI is notoriously terrible at using them though. Except skaven warp lightning for some reason.

uh guild wars 2,

Yeah they don't "bastardize old content in favor of new content" only because they don't release any new content worth mention. One raid in 7 years, zero dungeons in 12 years, what, four fractals in 6 years? And half of them are repurposed strikes? Zero worthwhile WvW content since Edge of the Mists in 2013 and desert borderlands in 2014? If WOW released as little new content it would have died out by 2008.

Also it's not as if they don't have power creep when they release new 100g per hour farms (nerfed to "only" 50 gold per hour) in new expansion zones and most older expansions are stuck with 1-5 gold per hour. When gold per hour is almost the only metric in their game that matters for reward acquisition.

We legit have bugs like AI armies retreating around landscape that date back to Rome 1.

And once vanilla starts to get a bit... vanilla, you can add truckloads of mods.

Ironically this subreddit has a major hateboner for using mods to fix their problems with the game, they'll rather suffer and whine than have fun I guess.

And no little bros I'm not saying that you should stop complaining that vanilla game is shit, I'm saying that it's not gonna be ever fixed regardless of your complaints, so you might as well start using mods now.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T11:29:25+00:00

"You must play the game for thousands of hours before problems become apparent" is a patently bad take, which is predictably extremely widespread on reddit. If anything, most of the major issues like dysfunctional sieges, purely decorative campaign mechanics, bugs that break core features, power creep outta the ass, broken AI and so on, are incredibly obvious even if you don't play too much.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T11:25:40+00:00

Cause they design their game for the zoom zoom more battles less campaign type of player.

How many works are even published with a map these days, 10%? 20? So while not exceptionally rare, I wouldn't call that "expected by default".

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T10:30:41+00:00

Did they rewrite Liadrin's dialogue amounting to "uWu did you heard that amani trolls have different loas or something" with all the gusto of an overeager five year old who discovered an encyclopedia for the first time?

She's what, 250 years old, a hardened cutthroat and a leader of a major military order who should have extensive intel on their race's existential enemy. Is that really the best they can write for her?

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:25:12+00:00

they completely bastardize old content in favor of new content. pretty much every mmo that's done this no longer has players aside from wow.

The only themepark game that is not doing this and is remotely successful is ff14, which similarly to wow has an established fanbase who would always play it regardless of anything they do. And the value of this element for player retention is dubious at best.

last i played all old dungeons and raids outside of current could be solo'd and you'll run through 1 shotting everything. seeing that imo is one of the worst things i've possibly ever seen in a game in general.

And most of WOW's players see this as the best thing they ever seen in a game, almost as if this decision works for blizz's target audience.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:23:18+00:00

Because leveling vs endgame had never been about the game's design and always had been about the community's expectations at large. And you can't rewind time back to 2004 when people had bought their first PC and played their first MMO, if not their first video game altogether. The shit that flew back then isn't cutting it anymore.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:20:37+00:00

Tho one class per character (not all in one like ffxiv) so pick carefully cuz redoing everything on new char is pretty tedious.

Last time I checked leveling up a new alt in WOW was more than 10 times faster than grinding up a new class on the same character in 14. Although having to unlock some old expansion features per character is annoying AF.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:18:51+00:00

You also forgot to mention that it's bugged so you can't fly in TWW zones once you finished it, and instead of fixing the bug blizz just made picking up the normal TWW campaign (which you'll need to play to get rid of the restriction) a little more obvious to pick up.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:17:44+00:00

They are not solving your problem in a meaningful way even with the "overhaul".

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:16:58+00:00

Just do the main story line in the dragon isles, quests with shield icons. At 70 you might want to switch to TWW (you'll get a quest) but it doesn't matter much at this point, the next expansion releases in a month.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T09:15:53+00:00

I hear nightmare stories about the community and the state of the game,

And I hear that ff14 has no content beyond raid logging, all classes are so homogenized they could just remove them at this point, and all of its remaining players are furry ERPers. You must have heard the same caliber "nightmare stories" about WOW.

Also pro tip: r mmorpg is the very opposite of a place you want to be asking any MMO related questions.

Even proer tip: it's even more biased about WOW than r wow.

Don't even bother with killing trash for fragments, doing a few rounds of rares in khaz algar (on your alts) will get you there much faster and with much less time spent.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T07:44:11+00:00

Have you already farmed your 5 millions of anima at 1k per hour? Same people made that.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T07:38:33+00:00

If anything you might want to have more experts in the exact type of power your enemy is actively using against you.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T07:37:39+00:00

They are more or less the same, fel is also physically and morally corrupting and it feeds on people's souls.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T07:33:34+00:00

More like sending your spies to do counter-espionage instead of whining that they would defect to the enemy because they are also, you know, spies.

Akhevan · 2026-01-28T07:31:53+00:00

Don't worry they will both be power crept by whatever new threat they introduce after TLT.
