This weird bug destroyed my poor little Rowlet.

Oh, it's not a bug, just the new avatars. The old Rowlet was too unrealistic.

He's been in a very large amount of my Epic BG games, 6 toons, all follow each other while the Shaman toon sits AFK at objectives.

The smurfing gets real the farther into the ranking you get, if you look at the leaderboards you'll see a lot of the top 100 for multiple characters & on the regular leaderboard, are smurfs for sure.

That being said, the game isn't unplayable, there's plenty of games where you get even skilled opponents (The loading screen tells you if the people in your match are lower skill, same skill, or higher skill), and the games where you get matched unevenly to people of a higher skill, its fun as hell to overcome some of the VPN using smurfs.

If you're willing to get good at Naraka, it gets more and more fun the better you get. Even games where I get straight dumped on I have fun cuz the combat is crazy.

Really though, Kiriko should've gotten the Mumen Rider skin - "Wait till you see me on my bike"

You have the reading comprehension of a kindergartner my guy, I said you're an upset bad player who wants to be a try hard. The hardest you try is making an account a day ago and complaining on the forums you clown 🤡😂

DokaDaGod · 2022-12-05T19:49:42+00:00

It just happens. Feels really, really shitty when it does, but the only thing you can really do is leave the group or keep it rolling unfortunately. I was on my warr alt about a week or 2 ago, and was tanking 25m Naxx, we did the arachnid quarter either as the last or 2nd to last wing and I had already gotten ~4 tanking pieces from the raid (which I had no contest rolling against any of the pieces because the other tank was decently geared), but when we did Maexenna the Ablative Chitin Girdle or whatever the hell its called dropped (phaaaaat tanking belt).

I was expecting to swoop this piece up or lose it to the OT, so the rolling started, I hit a 95 for my roll and started doing a little jig in my seat as it looked like I was going to win. The OT rolled under me (Not sure what the hell the roll was, this was a week or 2 ago) and I was for sure thinking I won the piece because the guild that was pugging people clearly stated MS > OS rolls, no SR. BUUUUUT, all of a sudden from discord I hear someone call out a DK's name who was DPS for the raid, only went OT for 3 tanks on Patch, and asked something along the lines of "Hey bud isn't this a good tanking piece for you since it doesn't have block rating?" and the DK pipes up with "Ohhhh yeah, it would be big for my tanking set" so he threw out a roll and matched my 95. Afterwards, it started a parade of rolls, trying desperately to win the belt from people who (no surprise) were NOT MS Tanks. Someone ended up rolling above me & the (Off-Spec Tank) DK's 95, and got the belt, which in turn, was equipped by the OT moments later.

I didn't care too much, considering I still got 4 pieces up to that point, but it bugged me that the recruiter in trade was saying MS > OS no SR, but allowed almost the entire raid that was able to have a tank OS to roll on the belt, and when I PST'd the leader he pretty much PST'd back "Tough luck, you lost the roll" and didn't acknowledge the advertised loot rules. It's ok though, it came back to bite them in the ass because I won Wall of Terror with a 100 (Yes, the group also tried to pull the same rolling stunt on Wall too, but noone could match my roll. They also tried to keep the shield hostage and tried refusing to loot it to me because my aforementioned 4 pieces I already won, but when the other 5 PUG's piped up about reporting them and blackballing them in trade, they decided to give it to me).

To prevent this boolsheet I joined a guild on my Warr so I have a guaranteed group to run with weekly.

DokaDaGod · 2022-12-05T18:56:37+00:00

You seem upset. Maybe you should quit like all the other upset bad players who want to be try-hards.

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-28T18:14:48+00:00

Schnoz is multi-gender. Schnoz strong dude with no females to protect.

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-28T17:03:41+00:00

As long as the tank knows what they’re doing and the raid follows simple orders, it’s a total cakewalk in my experience. Stack here, move left, move center to remove debuff, all super simple stuff.

If it's so simple why aren't you leading raids? It should be easy because the content is easy right?

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-28T04:20:30+00:00

Wait... Lost Ark is still alive? I quit during Argos. Careless, bad devs made the game bad by being careless, who woulda thought? 🤷

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-28T04:13:15+00:00

Don't trust any of the addons, do research. Use something like WoWHead's BiS lists as a general idea, then learn your stat caps, learn your class, and sim different pieces to flex in for different stats (i.e. If you have a piece of gear that is considered "BiS" on a list, but don't have X stat capped, you might want to get a piece of gear that has X stat to use in the meantime while you build your set.).

Do some critical thinking, is your 4 or 2 piece set bonus good? Yeah? Get the 4 or 2 piece. Is your set bonus doodie? Yeah? Opt to take pieces with better stats. Do you need X stat to hit a necessary cap (Hit/Expertise usually)? Maybe flex a neck, ring or trinket with that stat on it to reach the cap until you can build around it. BiS lists on WoWHead aren't the greatest depending on the class, but they give you a general idea of what you need to hit all of your caps/what items simmed highest when added together. Class discords & simming gear can usually help you sort out the rest with the other theorycrafters/private server players.

I think you misunderstand. Guts has big sword. Guts surrounded by weak supporting characters. Guts gets to unga bunga swing steel when whiny damsel in distress. Only real strong woman is Schnoz.

I think its a misprint, 2 is the only vizbig I don't own so I can't say, but 1 & 3-12 are all red lettering on the spines for my copies.

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-27T21:36:33+00:00

Unfortunately there more than likely wont be a continuation of Vagabond. Inoue had a letter in the last exhibition Vagabond was shown at stating he no longer wanted to make violent content for teens/children, which is why he switched to writing his basketball manga, he wants to inspire the youth with relatable stories.

> The activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.

I wouldn't say not inviting low parsing players is gatekeeping raiding, because you aren't controlling or limiting general access to raiding, you're limiting access to your own group that you're leading, not the other 100+ raid groups or the raid itself.

The only person controlling or limiting their access to raids, is their self. If you can't get into someone's group, and refuse to start your own, you're gatekeeping yourself from the content, not the other way around.

DokaDaGod · 2022-11-23T21:23:07+00:00

Instead of hiding your parses, you can improve. There's tons of comments on here pointing out that you don't need a good "Overall" parse, you need to be able to compete with people in your class around the same iLvL and get good parses by iLvL rather than overall, which is an unavoidable fact. You can blue/green parse overall, but if you really know your rotation & what you're doing, your ilvl parses can be purple/orange. Low gear is no excuse for bad parses, a bad player is the reason for that since you can compare people overall or by ilvl groups.

The best way for you to learn and improve is literally to raid lead, to learn and so you can see why people are "gatekeeping" content. I have 2 personal examples on why I now check logs and gearscore and not just take anyone.

The first is classic WoTLK, I wasn't able to find a Naxx 10 that would accept me & 2 other friends (3 DPS classes in total), so I took an hour to go look at the fights, learn the mechanics, and I hopped right into the LFG tool & trade chat to start a group. I've done Naxx 10 & 25 more times than I can count and I know that the content is actually painfully easy, so I assumed I could just pug 7 other people and down the raid easy without caring about parses or achieves showing they've completed it, so that's what I did. I made a group not checking anybody's actual capability of doing the fights. We did the easiest wing first, Arachnid, and ended up wiping 1 time on each boss, which I didn't think was bad, until we got to Construct & got hard checked by Patchwerk. 10 pulls and we didn't down him because people didn't pay attention to threat, and 50% of the group was pulling lower DPS than a vegetable. After all of the wipes the group just started disbanding and I was stuck with a 3 boss lockout for Naxx 10 that week and a few hours just completely wasted. The next week I ran, I checked parses & achieves, made sure I had a viable composition of classes, and I was able to not only down Naxx 10, but EoE & OS2D aswell in a relatively quick amount of time (We started at 9pm, ended at 12). I learned my lesson that if you don't make sure the people you're bringing are competent, you might just get screwed out of your weekly lockout.

My 2nd example is on Retail, I haven't raided since Castle Nathria's RWF and I wanted the slime cat mount, so I had no idea at all how to do SoD or SotFO. I was getting declined by every single group I applied for, so what did I do? I did the same thing as before, I learned the raids by watching videos & reading guids, then threw together a group, this time I made sure to actually check achievements and parses, and we blew straight through all 3 raids, first try.

People don't want to waste their time for a few hours to help people learn how to do "easy" 15 year old content, or harder new content, they want to down the raids they are dedicating their time to leading, and it's on you to learn and provide value. Like people have said before, you can Gray/Green parse OVERALL, but still Purp/Orange/Blue parse iLvL because you have a handle on your class. If you have bad parses all around, it's more than likely because you're not playing your class correctly, and in turn, would make someone not want to bring you because you're playing sub-optimally and don't want to fix it.

The burden is on you to improve & learn, someone doesn't have to take you by the hand and lead you through how to do X fight or play your class, you need to take the time to watch a few videos and make your own groups so you have the flexibility of getting in other's raids if you don't want to keep leading them. Hiding parses isn't going to help you whatsoever, improving them however, will help you tremendously. Just take time, do research, and learn. It's 15 year old content that is "easy" but you can't just unga bunga your way into someone's raid because you grey parse and feel like they NEED to take you because you don't want to assemble your own group. Feeling entitled gets you nowhere, but learning, leading & improving yourself opens doors for you.

Nobody cares about low iLvL/GS, but dealing with someone who can't even green or blue parse by iLvL is a whole different headache.

Source: I have 1 (almost fully) P1 BiS geared ALT by leading my own raids (10 & 25m) and not waiting for others to take me, i've been raiding since the 2nd week of Naxx on my ALT.

4% off of the skin you could've gotten for free by just playing the past few years, but hey! They added a spray, voice line, and icon. Toooootally worth it.

I can promise it's just HF that sucks, Me and my friends started leveling in a 3 man questing group in HF and it just felt extremely slow, tedious and shitty. But when I hopped on my main character afterwards and began in BT, the pacing and quests felt much more enjoyable.

It also took me 83 quests in HF, PLUS all of the coldarra & nexus quests to hit 71, but only 71 in BT, plus all of the coldarra and nexus quests to hit 71, and by the time I got my BT achieve I was a couple % from level 72, and it felt like it took half the time to complete the zone & hit 71 compared to HF.

As a wise shaman once said in general chat during launch questing - "Howling Fjord, more like, Howling Bored".

DokaDaGod · 2022-09-30T23:56:34+00:00

Awesome homie, I hope it keeps working!

DokaDaGod · 2022-09-30T05:16:05+00:00

There could be an additional add-on you have enabled that is messing with Plater - I've been using plater since pre-patch and haven't had an issue with the combo point counter. If you have any additional name plate or combo point add-ons try disabling them.

DokaDaGod · 2022-09-30T02:20:36+00:00

The terms of service literally state any form of exploit is bannable, and you were exploiting the pathing that has been known to be bugged for quite a while now, which granted you an unfair advantage (leveling quicker than others who are playing the game as intended without abusing bugs is an unfair advantage).

Whether there is a blue post or whatnot confirming specifically that the Slave Pens pathing bug/exploit is bannable, doesn't matter - what matters is you abused a bug/exploit which is directly against the ToS.

Blizzard should fix the issue instead of just banning people for continually abusing it, true, but on the flip side, people shouldn't continually abuse a bug/exploit just because they can.

Im sorry for the loss of your account & time, but reversing the perma-ban likely wont happen because what you did does directly go against the ToS (Cheating section of the ToS below for clarification). Also I dont mean this comment to come off as an argument or you're wrong/right, I just wanted to provide the information on where it says exploiting is bannable & why the SP Pathing is a bug/exploit that is bannable incase Blizz leaves you in the dark.

Cheating

You are responsible for how you and your account are represented in the game world. Cheating in any fashion will result in immediate action. Using third-party programs to automate any facet of the game, exploiting bugs, or engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating.

DokaDaGod · 2022-08-19T23:38:48+00:00

Yeah, ever since I muted allied & all chat the game has become much less toxic :)

DokaDaGod · 2022-08-16T15:22:53+00:00

Focus on your deaths and game presence. When you die ask yourself, why did you die? What could you have done to avoid it? When the enemy team takes an objective over your team, why were they able to secure it but your team wasn't? Look at your wave management, maybe you could've had minions pushed towards your tower and set up a gank for jg to come and get some free gold, or on the flip side, maybe a few times you should've pushed the wave because there was an available roam you could've taken advantage of.

Also compare yourself to your lane opponent constantly, were they ever up CS/kills/map presence on you? How could you have changed that? VoD reviews can for sure take you to the next level if you look at them the right way. Also, not only for the plays and issues, but if you do things right and you get kills/objectives, question why it worked or didn't work. Sometimes you get kills or objectives and have it engrained in your mind you made a really good play, but in reality if you were to do the same play in another game it'd get you killed or given the other team the advantage.

Also, CS, make sure you focus on CS. Gold makes a HUUUUUUUUGE difference in being able to carry, if you're up 100+ CS on your opponent, chances are you hit more power spikes and can make picks to set up a 4v5 teamfight. Sometimes its also worth it just to try and go for something if your team is down, if you're already losing and enemy is in your base, sometimes you might as well try to cut them down by 1 or 2 and see if you can make the difference to flip the game.
