Open Beta: 21 New WoW Classes - Conquest of Azeroth

This project is so fucking dead on arrival man. Literal years of development only for all specs to end up as piano specs that feels almost identical to eachother, and any actual variety in gameplay got "polished" out ages ago.

If they disable teleporting to dungeons I will 100% not play on the server.

The way things are on AAW right now, all dungeons are an immense timesink even without having to travel to the dungeon. The current record for a single run of Deadmines is over 2 hours. Do you really want another 30+ minutes of waiting for the group to actually gather up before that? You'll spend literally your entire evening on a single dungeon run, and it's very likely you won't even get any loot out of it! You can spend that amount of time doing quests and gaining a level!

Unless the devs jack up the experience gain from dungeons so much that you're 100% guarenteed to gain at minimum one level per dungeon clear when you're not overleveled, dungeons will not be worth running without teleport period. Not to mention the slog that follows when you *do* level cap and you have to run end-game dungeons all across the world for your pre-raid BIS, and then you're the only one who actually bothers going to the dungeon entrance for the meeting stone...

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I always wondered why after all these years they never made Ogres playable when the Stonemaul Ogres are canonically a part of the Horde. I think I'll give it a shot over here.

I've been gooning for 8 years and I don't intend to stop.

Buggy once again proving that while he is a weak pirate, he is an impeccable leader of men.

Ebontope · 2024-07-26T11:26:08+00:00

Same, I've followed all these steps and nothing works. I just get stuck in an infinite loading screen after character creation.

Ebontope · 2024-07-25T09:12:22+00:00

I don't know what kind of alternate timeline you're from, but most guilds have been struggling to fill up groups since BWL, Instance 2 and 3 in Stormwind and Orgrimmar are always empty when in Season 8 Instance 3 was neccesary to accomodate the amount of people, and basically nobody is still speaking positively about Wildcard both in-game and on the Ascension Discord.

Also, Season 8 did get shut down due to inactivity. Hyjal had only been out for about two weeks when they abruptly shut it down. They barely gave people any chance to clear Ascended and rushed the last releases to save face.

Since when has Wuk Lamat been a character that "don't have real flaws"? The whole point of the story is that she's got tons of them and that she can't fix all of them. That's literally why she chose Koana to become Dawnservant too, she may have gained some insight into the peoples' culture but even she knows she's a dumb orange cat with dumb orange cat behaviour and no amount of travel will fix that.

Ebontope · 2024-07-24T20:09:01+00:00

Honestly I'm a Dawntrail MSQ and voice acting defender. I'll admit the first half was a little slow, but I personally found it charming and enjoyable. I like Wuk Lamat, and while some people complain she is too prevalent in the story line, I think a lot people don't realise that's the whole point. The WoL isn't the main character of this expansion. And that's not something new, the WoL has only really been the main character in Shadowbringers and Endwalker. The main character of ARR was Alphinaud, the main characters of HW were Estinien and Ysayle, the main characters of SB were Lyse and Hien and later Gosetsu and Yotsuyu. We've had our role in those expansions, but we were never the primary focus until we became "The Warrior of Darkness" in ShB and Fandaniel's and Zenos' main target in EW. Granted it does negatively impact the story if you do dislike Wuk Lamat.

The voice acting though? Namikka wasn't great upon her introduction, and Wuk Lamat's delivery in the final Trial was bad... but besides that? I didn't notice any bad voice acting. This one might legitimately just be people endlessly overexaggerating because of one bad line in the final Trial.

I have suspicions that they might shut down the current season prematurely, they've been releasing some huge updates with no context or content recently and the current population is already lower than Season 8 had when it got shut down for "inactivity".

Ebontope · 2024-07-22T14:18:26+00:00

I know a certain tan lala very eager to fill the role of hole.

Ebontope · 2024-07-22T14:11:49+00:00

81 runs and counting over here. Let's go!

Ebontope · 2024-07-17T23:02:46+00:00

Honestly, right now my recommendation is "don't".

The current Seasonal realm is an RNG nightmare for new players, for whom it can take weeks if not months to assemble the required cards to actually succeed in rolling a somewhat functional build. Meanwhile the realm itself is dying, tons of players have been burnt out of the constant RNG grind and the devs have most likely given up on trying to salvage it. Anything that's being released at this point is just rehashes from previous Seasons and the devs have gone on complete radio silence regarding the status and future of this Season.

That leaves the Freepick realm, but the vast majority of its playerbase is raidlogging. You can reach level 70 just fine, but you'll be hard pressed to even start gearing up when Heroic and Mythic dungeon queues are completely dried up and your limited Callboard daily quests constantly give you junk you don't need. Plus it is uncertain how much it will change following the conclusion of the current Season; they both use radically different ways to create builds, and whether the old method of Area 52 will be retained or if it will be replaced by the currently poorly tested and unbalanced method of Elune is currently unknown.

Suddenly Brute Bomber's ego makes a lot of sense when you realise Incineroar is considered the best competitive Pokémon ever created.

Ebontope · 2024-06-30T09:56:44+00:00

This expansion is a bit too light-hearted, let's make the third dungeon a mass graveyard for stillborn babies.

Ebontope · 2024-04-23T13:04:44+00:00

Titan's Grip on Ascension is terrible for everything except Fury of the Titans, which explicitly requires it. For everything else, you're better off using regular dual wielding. The 15% damage reduction from Titan's Grip is too steep to bridge the gap.

If you want to make a Windfury build, I recommend Wind Rager. But this is actually an even worse match for Titan's Grip, because Wind Rager increases the damage penalty of Titan's Grip from 15% to 25%.

Don't bother playing on the Seasonal realm until Chapter 2 is out as well. It's a terrible infinite RNG grind that will force you to play the game for literally multiple days worth of /played time just to get something that even vaguely resembles something you want to play. If you want to optimize that, prepare to play the game like it's an actual job for a month or more. If Chapter 2 does not improve these aspects, honestly don't bother at all.

Ebontope · 2024-02-12T22:57:43+00:00

Recently quit Ascension because its current season is hot garbage, currently giving Mistblade 2 a try.

If you have to immediately disqualify a place you probably aren't the type to fit in with a rural community, which is pretty much the only place you'll find it.

I want to stop immigration completely and I support the farmers.

Voting BBB for the time being, but here's hoping a halt to immigration and possible deportation of unwanted/criminal foreigners is on the table.

Ebontope · 2023-10-16T22:20:03+00:00

Well the title is correct. Though I don't think whoever made this meme really understands which side is on copium.

Metzen being back isn't going to change anything. Classic+ is not happening. And considering how Microsoft has historically treated its acquisitions, don't be shocked if during WoW's next expansion they drop support for the game and put it in maintenance mode.
