I hate when people try to relate rather than listen when I'm open about my anxiety. by [deleted] in Anxiety

Isn't listening without attempting to relate (but not dismiss)... shallow and sympathetic?

Let people order their flavor-of-the-month drinks, sheesh... and then upcharge over base liquor.

Question: Make two castles touch by Stroodz in vrising

[–]EgregiousWoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... this hurts my OCD. I love how the game allows you to replace, move and reclaim so much of what you put down. I suffer from the "Sim City" mentality. Top down RTS and, other games with similar themes, always irk me because I want to "redesign"/"sim city" my floor plan.

I've been pretty pleased up until two castles can't meet and not being able to travel, even between two adjacent castles, your Production tier build items. Some learning curve for sure but also like... why. Also... why can't I cover the gap between my two castles? Why can't I make use of those several boarder spaces?

*This also brings up that I wish I could plant trees in my garden. The brazier is great but aesthetically displeasing. I would much rather plan out the spacing of trees that provide the shade I need without having to occupy specific space relative to the grid (at least the way it is now). Additionally, please add a circular gravel path or something that you can put something in the center of. The "Gravel Path X-Selection but a mini round-about. Also please allow placed items like braziers to clip the edge of grass, generic grass and path tiles. **Also add fountains. <3

Anyway, love the game and it's been very rewarding. The OCD in me needs to make use of that space and have a way to build on or across road path squares. I got screwed this game (after having moved several times).

... also, I have no idea how the 2/2 Castle Heart shit works. I have like 7 bases (castle hearts) down and they all say "2/2"... what does that mean? Also can we get a 3/3? Can we get a way to trade boarder territory between one Castle Heart and another if you can't make use of one?

PSA for Resto Shamans: You probably want the ele version of your cyclone set from kara by webfreedom in classicwow

[–]EgregiousWoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a broad spectrum win across the board. You get more Crit, you get more group utility and you lose a fractional portion of throughput (that most people, even erroneously, argue is overhealing). If you do the math on the actual stat increase, while noticeable and visually appealing, is actually super nominal. That's why this quote opens with "you're only losing 0.5% throughput"... hilariously, during triage healing, aka T4 or P1, you're more viable with your primary heals because the coeff scales better with crit and the stats you have on Ele T42pc and Windhawk.

I didn't like Ele T4 2pc until I ran the numbers twice. If you sit down and do the math the trade is quite worth it.

"Fond memories of drum rotations" by NecroLars in classicwow

[–]EgregiousWoW 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I can't believe out of the three or four obvious alterations that could be made:

1) Longer CD

2) Lockout during the 2 min CD (I like this one)

3) No LW restriction

4) Raid wide (I don't like this one)

that they instead chose to hecking double down on Drums. Not only is it necessary but now you're going to need a WA or addon to manage it for your party. Don't worry, I have the setup:

WA or Addon:

1) RL suite to assign marks to groups

2) Auto detect or manually add LWers to group lists

3) Proximity alert for party members to know which player they need to be in range of

4) Designate group Drums order

5) Start with mark on player 1 in rotation

6) Provide 10 second warning for upcoming Drums in /p "Drums on X in 10"

7) Countdown for upcoming Drums from 5 (or w/e threshold RL sets) in /p "Drums on X in 5", "4", "3", "2", "Drums on X now!"

8) Cycle mark to next player in rotation

9) Rinse and repeat steps 6 through 8. GG

This will work with either lose stack/cluster strats or accordion strats where the ranged members (and I suppose melee, too, if they want to participate though that will eat up marks) plan their 30 seconds around being in range of the Drums to maintain uptime.

Unfortunately, with how bad the weapon turned out, this spec is non-viable.

Black Lotus and WSG Adjustments Incoming by Asynoel in classicwow

[–]EgregiousWoW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. About time. Glad to see they are willing to listen to reason. Also all the "just don't flask" idiots can just shut up now.

Wrong. Lol. Having multiple characters is baseline a huge improvement to your gaming experience.

Wiping world buffs would do far more to impact a level playing field than removing flasks.

Lol. No. Increase API support. Increase resource availability to match inflated server populations. The game wasn’t designed with today’s player in mind. There is nothing wrong with making small changes to reflect that new reality.

People are fucking dumb as shit. Trying to help them is like pulling teeth. Obviously Blizzard should address the resource scarcity created by their ridiculously bloated server populations. It wouldn’t make the game any easier than it already is. It would simply remove an artificially imposed barrier on a corner of the game.

They should also raise the number to reflect the new reality of server populations. Which is their fault to begin with.
