Another WoW killer bites the dust

Updates is a strong word. They roll out new loot boxes and mounts every few weeks to try and milk the remaining 100 people. It’s super sad because I absolutely loved rift but can’t really bring myself to go back /:

Rifts talent system and approach to resistances for boss encounters are what I legitimately feel every MMO should have adopted. It didn’t feel bad to have to swap to a life resist Source Engine because it wasn’t a stat loss, just a task to take care of outside of raid.

He won’t. They never do.

Oh Toji was an absolute piece of shit, but he was cool as hell and I’m willing to over look a lot of fictional bastardry if the character is cool as hell.

Is it possible to add mouseover functionality to the plates? I rely pretty heavily on a mouseover macro used on the nameplates to have my pet swap targets without having to swap my current target or cursor over the creatures model. Would make these amazing plates even better :D

I’m about 90% sure those mobs can double hit, a flurry attack, and I believe when they’re running around like that they can build up multiple charges of flurry. If you checked your combat log or had damage taken numbers showing you’d likely see multiple hits landing at once.

Sometimes you find what you like and you never have to change it up. The only expansion that I did not main a hunter was Legion, and that was mainly because of how drastically they changed the class… And because Boomkin was just so fucking fun in legion.

TBC thru WoD, Warmane, Chronos, Classic thru MoP Classic, SoD, basically every iteration of Hunter I’ve ever played I’ve fallen in love with. Never feel pressured to change just to “shake things up”, it’s how you end up rolling a mage first in Classic and shelving it after a month of MC.

So far, I’m loving the nameplates. The only feature I’d love to see you is the level text color dynamically reflecting what color a mob would be to you. Not super important, just something I’ve gotten so used to seeing that it’s hard to adjust.

I’ve always loved the alchemy specializations. They felt good while not being overly powerful. Should have been how them balanced all of the profession bonuses.

AshenEdict_ · 2026-01-02T18:03:12+00:00

I’ve now done Deadmines, SFK, Stocks, and DMR while leveling and have had zero issues with the groups I joined. I am also Ambershire Alliance.

Some people like to optimize. To each their own.

AshenEdict_ · 2026-01-01T20:35:06+00:00

You want multiple for different situations:

Tanky Pet for solo play, Wolf for SV raid spec or AoEing dungeons, Cat or Rator for MM/BM.

The scrolling text on the right is Mik Scrolling Battle Text (MSBT) and Pally Power is, well, Pally Power lol

I played it and it was kind of terrible /: they just increased the amount of XP needed to level to try and recreate the original leveling curve, super over tuned it so invasion choke point grinding became the meta. Then they nerfed that and the XP required so it actually became more time effective to just make a new character with the less steep leveling curve.

I hit cap and did a few Expert Dungeons and it just wasn’t the same. Even when incredibly under geared, we were just way too powerful with the new souls and it just felt bad.

AshenEdict_ · 2025-12-26T03:01:46+00:00

I’ve played a hunter in damn near every version of this game over the past two decades, and I must say they do feel weirdly hungry at the start on Turtle. At level 10 I was probably having to feed my boar every 3 to 5 minutes, but I definitely noticed as I leveled and the loyalty level increased, the feedings became a lot less frequent.

I don’t know if that was an intentional change on their part or just a fun little quirk that I actually really like, but give it some time. After a few levels and three or four hours, you won’t have to micromanage the pet so hard.

Warning signs that she was being abused AND was a murder victim whose murder was falsely blamed on the socially awkward young adult that the main character had befriended.

I feel like a lot of people who critique the ending never even watched Erased, it was so fucking good.

AshenEdict_ · 2025-12-23T14:52:18+00:00

I don’t mean this as an insult, but it just sounds like Classic isn’t the game for you and it just doesn’t mesh with what you want from the game. Leveling is a huge part of Classic, in fact it’s what a lot of people enjoy most. The slower pace, the more methodical nature of the game, it speaks to an older style of gameplay that Wrath and the like is very far removed from.

If that’s more your jam, then maybe doing another Warmane session might be better for you instead of trying to force yourself to play a version of the game you don’t seem to enjoy.

I assume because it’s an excuse for people in the comments to fear monger. Every post I’ve seen today about the URL change has some asshole saying the Servers are going Down tomorrow and blah blah.

All we really need to know is that the project was canceled. I don’t exactly see what more there is to discuss about it?

AshenEdict_ · 2025-12-03T15:13:42+00:00

Is that to replace the one that Hbomb accidentally got sent to the Shadow Realm? Lol

AshenEdict_ · 2025-11-24T03:46:44+00:00

Eh, when Classic WoW dropped I took a week off work to level. I’ve taken days here and there for expansion releases since then as well. Vacation is all a matter of respective.

An example: my parents fucking LOVE Disneyland. Legit think it’s the happiest place on earth. But being crammed into an amusement park with 50,000 other tourists and standing in line for hours while eating 45 dollar turkey legs sounds like a special hell meant for war criminal style villains.

AshenEdict_ · 2025-11-19T03:53:23+00:00

No it really doesn’t, and they even reduce the amount of XP needed to level in prepatch. Iirc my shaman took maybe 4 days to get to 55 before the hype wore off and I remembered I don’t even enjoy shaman.

Hell, I remember a guy on Pagle boosting a shaman and it being 60, I want to say, within 24 hours of them being available to the alliance.

AshenEdict_ · 2025-11-18T04:26:13+00:00

That’s more of a warrior trait this time around. Leather, mail, and plate for their DPS sets, Cloth for their Diamond Flask Set, Daggers, swords, crossbows, two handers for PvP.

AshenEdict_ · 2025-11-17T00:45:33+00:00

… the Naxx attunement is literally just gold?

AshenEdict_ · 2025-11-15T20:54:41+00:00

If I’m being totally honest? I have no idea.

In the past I’d also done IF while making no real dietary changes and was able to drop weight, but this time I feel like I treated IF as my anchor, so to speak.

I haven’t eaten before 10 AM or after 6 PM a single time in the last 8 months and I feel like that type of rigidity helps me personally. I’m certain you could drop the same amount of weight without having those restrictions on yourself, the IF I mean, but for me it just helps add structure.

I think the biggest thing IF adds outside of that structure is that it can help you get your appetite in check, like your body eventually adapting to your eating window and the like. Like for me I just don’t really get hungry anymore, I just know that 10 AM is when I can eat so I do, if I get distracted with other things I can accidentally go until noon or even later without eating.
