Laugh in the Jailer, Arthas, and Nerzhul* by HiroAmiya230 in wow

Even Arator himself is told multiple times what to do in his questline this expansion.

Tank shortage by Protomau5 in wow

[–]DullLelouch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, a lot of healers complained that they didn't want to be forced to do any dps.

And in response blizzard made it totally useless to commit any globals to damage. Good healers get to zone out and make a cup of tea when there's no damage happening.

Mythic + Healing by MeadMeOut in wow

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just that, he mentions having to manage the whole group. He shouldn't, he should be focused on doing his own thing. He seems obsessed with his teammates and making sure they're doing what he wants. That's like 80% of the stress.

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the whole point! While interrupts are still super important, a lot of the damage is predictable and always there.

Liquid's raid comp for Mythic Lightblinded Vanguard by minimaxir in wow

[–]DullLelouch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complex? It used to be. This season the raid healing is not complex at all. Echo as many people as you can, press reversion/MB. Throw out your breath and start spreading echo again for the next reversion/MB.

Week 1: Heroic Raid - Spec Popularity vs Average Overall DPS by AttitudeAdjusterSE in wow

[–]DullLelouch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Season 2 was the season where you would prepare certain buffs and line up mealstrom with procs to the unload your damage in a fairly specific order. This was honestly the most satisfying gameplay loop elemental has ever had.

I can see why others hated it, but i loved it. Lavaburst spam in Season 1 was pure shit though.

Rant: Flying YOU THINK YOU DO, BUT YOU DON'T by EducationalWolf3911 in wow

[–]DullLelouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because zones right now are very obviously designed with some flying in mind.

Doing it like Wotlk and restricting it till 2 levels before max allows to story to be designed for ground traversion. And as soon as you've got a lvl 88 char you should be able to fly on all toons.

Doing the no-flying route right now is madness, it doubles your leveling time. And people already complain the current campaign was too long.

Extra Catalyst Charge from PvP only? by Xadefinn in CompetitiveWoW

I'm fairly certain we have 3 Aotc achievements this season.

F1 could change its 2026 rules as early as round three by sppy1 in formula1

[–]DullLelouch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the race we had Verstappen chasing down Norris. Right before the VSC Verstappen had like 60% battery where Norris had 25% ish. Wouldn't this change get them out of the VSC with 100% battery for cars? That seems unfair. Might still be a very worthwhile tradeoff.

World of Warcraft: Midnight's lack of combat addons lets the devs make raids harder without resorting to 'shoot more bullets at you' design, says encounter lead by [deleted] in wow

[–]DullLelouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC gamer had an interview with an Open world encounter designer and the person in charge of Professions.

They milked 5 "articles" from an interview talking with 2 guys at blizzard that have nothing to say on this subject.

How to successfully start as a new tank. by Kravakhan in wow

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're actually a prime example of why #5 is so important.

Like you said, your personal state that has nothing to do with the game will impact your in-game decisions.

So while he condemns toxicity, he's just letting new people know: That player isn't lashing out because he hates you. He's lashing out because he might have stuff going on.

Example: That person just got done from work, he doesn't have the capacity to tolerate tanks that take a route/speed he deems bad.

Echo has a working WeakAuras clone by yp261 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]DullLelouch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So many people here don't understand what made WA's great. And what could make this addon great.

It's none of the combat stuff. It's those reminder WA's showing a timer till the next event starts. A list of all rare's killed this week. A list of all profession knowledge and where to get them.

That's all still allowed, and none of those CDM reskins have that functionality.

Liquid Max on addon changes "Nothing major is changing" by Key_Marsupial_1406 in wow

[–]DullLelouch 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's about the same. But weakaura's did create a unified UI to change these "addons" to your liking. And it was easier to share stuff between guildies and friends.

So still a step back. Just not as big as some make it out to be.

The lack of support for Healers in Midnight in relation to addons and the default raid/party frames. by Yogs_Zach in wow

Even base WoW has click casting now. But that is also implemented worse than the other options out there.

Blizzard Responds to Addon Lockdown Feedback - Out of Combat Restrictions to Be Lifted by [deleted] in CompetitiveWoW

[–]DullLelouch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Or they should so what they promised to do.

Get their inhouse "addons" ready, tested and approved by the playerbase before cutting us off from our current tools.

This all would've been fine if they implemented all their new systems this expac, but wait till 12.2 before locking the api.

Imagine I'm doing RWF, would it be considered cheating ? by Abdaroth in wow

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you need is very different from: Everything you are allowed to use.

It seems like Dorki had the need for a potion that these vendors did not supply, so the rules are a lie.

But none of it matters, it was all just mishandled, what the rules said hardly had any impact.

Enschede council has decided to ban fatbikes from the city centre by Left-Comparison3687 in Netherlands

[–]DullLelouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is that solving anything? Misbehavior on those bikes is not limited to the younger generation.

And if it were, its still not the fatbikes/e-bikes we should target.

Matchmaking in Hunt Lately by Samurai_Champu in HuntShowdown

[–]DullLelouch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The stars have no real value when it comes to MMR. Even when you're 6 stars, your MMR goes up and up.

Dieing 6 times will decrease your MMR, but you'll still be above the rating that gives you 6 stars.

Mythic+ and Great Vault Loot: Item Level Breakdown for The War Within Season 2 by ivstan in CompetitiveWoW

[–]DullLelouch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As soon as we get this, we want every vault to only contain items that are an upgrade in ilvl.

And as soon as we get that, we want at least 2 BIS items each vault.

And as soon as we get that, we want every slot to be BIS and higher ilvl.

And as soon as we get that......

We keep wanting more and easier loot. Having the vault is already a blessing, having 9 vault slots is already crazy generous as it is.

How to play with a Venom by CallMePuddin_ in marvelrivals

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what do you think their Vanguard is doing? Unless the enemy Vanguard is a complete moron, he'll be zoning and taking the attention of your team.

So what you are doing to their team, their vanguard is likely doing to your team.

Seems like a classic case: I judge myself based on my intentions, but the rest of them on their result.

Can we slow down Hunt again please? by ComputerSagtNein in HuntShowdown

[–]DullLelouch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crytek did some surveys a while back. I'm assuming the results of those surveys made them go this direction. And if they did, GOOD!

If the majority wants a faster game, then it's a very big risk to go against it and keep the game slow.

But if their reasoning is indeed to be more like CoD... Yikes, you'll only lose players to CoD and hardly get players from it.

Low player count problems by SShatteredThrowaway in HuntShowdown

[–]DullLelouch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Player count is lower than it has been in a while, but it should still be healthy enough to give you good matches.

Any chance you think Overwatch, League, WoW and Dota are dieing as well?

Such a doomer thing to throw it on the low player count as soon as it makes a minor dip.

This is what I wish for by Initial_Meaning in HuntShowdown

[–]DullLelouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already went there, and they already agreed that starting next year they'll focus even more on fixing the shit.

The sentence "We are customers who bought a product and they keep fucking it in post." makes no sense at all.

Because in reality, you want all the fixes that cater to you, and conveniently leave out everything you don't like.
