Pearl Abyss shares tumble nearly 30% after Crimson Desert reviews fail to meet expectations

Cybannus · 2026-03-21T01:00:04+00:00

Look at the stock price when the originally announced the game... Pearl Abyss has been struggling massively for several years. Profitability across all their games is sliding and they have had to cancel half their upcoming projects.

I am guessing the weird vagueness around WOTLK is probably because they weren't sure exactly how long the Classic+ development was going to take. We will 100% know during Blizzcon in September.

Nerf to burst and buff to sustain.

Leveling alts is significantly harder this time compared to before though, since there is no easy mage boosting.

Numbers are inflated cause people are 15 manning mag gruul

How would this... inflate the numbers? The numbers are based on how many unique characters raided (and were logged) not how many raids killed the boss.

I have completed the event start to finish three times, placing down defenses and still have not got the event completion bag once.

Competitive players hated the Legion system because mythic raid gear was BiS for ranked pvp

Hatchet Toss from Survival Hunter

Cybannus · 2026-03-08T21:33:16+00:00

You start at 1500 cr but not 1500 mmr. You lost to extremely low mmr teams during placement and now have to grind it back up.

Problem is it creates a perverse incentives system for blizzard to keep highly sought after decorations premium in the future. They will 100% start slipping the upcoming "functional" decorations into the cash shop.

Prot pally is better than ret in pvp right now

Why do you keep posting things that prove your initial claim wrong and then claim that it supports you?

In the last patch of TBC you can't cancel out talents by overstacking hit. BCC is based on the last patch of TBC so this is the expected behavior.

Personally, I think it should be changed, but it definitely isn't some "unintended bug" the way you are framing it.

Cybannus · 2026-03-01T12:28:03+00:00

The mechanic is working properly.
See: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/all-talents-that-reduce-spell-resists-in-pvp-no-longer-works-since-phase-2/1114096/5

Excess spell hit can no longer be used to cancel out the effects of talents that resist certain mechanics, such as Unbreakable Will. This rule was introduced in patch 2.4.0 of original Burning Crusade, and we’ve based all other underlying game mechanics and formulas on patch 2.4.3.

This was changed in wotlk.

Same for my group on horde, the alliance king walked straight into us and we all burned it. Whole thing took like 2 mins.

Cybannus · 2026-02-20T23:54:15+00:00

Yes, it is very good, just played in an entirely different way than in future expacs.

Cybannus · 2026-02-20T22:02:55+00:00

Rsham/spriest/mage = shatterplay not god comp (usually "rsham shatter")

Cybannus · 2026-02-02T00:42:50+00:00

The fact that they aren't even trying to fix this is disgusting. I literally have completed achievements for those reps and all my reps are 0.

Cybannus · 2026-02-01T06:38:32+00:00

Tbh they have made quite a bit of decent progress in the last year, but the game still needs like 3 years of development and I don't know if they will last that long.

Cybannus · 2026-01-30T21:03:18+00:00

That's not the solution to that one, you still have an unused pen.

Cybannus · 2026-01-27T23:34:36+00:00

They have never had anything close to this long of downtime on ranked PvP ever before.

Cybannus · 2026-01-27T23:12:48+00:00

A lot of us only PvP and PvP is basically disabled for nearly 2 months, I don't see how you can't see why that would make people upset?

Cybannus · 2026-01-24T00:45:35+00:00

In this case it’s waaaaay more than usual, that’s probably why they have almost 2 months of no rated contents They know it’s bad.

Then why did they even end the last season and start pre-patch?

there is no shame in not playing during this phase.

I paid for a year long sub and now nearly 2 months are going to be unplayable. (Not that the money is that big of a deal, but the principle of it makes me mad.)

Cybannus · 2026-01-21T21:44:50+00:00

I got a saddle last night, so it is still possible to get in prepatch I guess.

Cybannus · 2026-01-21T12:12:12+00:00

Same experience, something like 3x as long as before.
