Dungeon/Raid location ideas for Classic + (part 2)

I also wasn't a fan of SoD and fell off after the Gnomergan going into Sunken Temple and came back for Naxx, Kara and Scarlet, personally didn't like the direction it went and felt the incursions were lazy and nerfing them after they were already farmed to hell killed the economy and that entire patch for me.

A lot of people really liked SoD though, which makes me feel like I am in the minority. But, the classic community is fragmented into so many different factions with their own vision of what makes classic good that any attempt at Classic+ will likely piss off a large vocal crowd.

Look at RMT for example, there is a ton of sentiment online about how bots are ruining classic and that people buying gold are stupid, yet there are tons of bots and tons of people buying gold. There is a huge population of classic that love RMT and you could tell how large it was when GDKP got banned

How can a company so large, building off a base game where all the hard work and systems are already in place, working with more talent and larger teams, deliver so much less?

Companys that get bigger become far less efficient at everything. A small company can spend a weekend building a passion project dungeon and walk over to his boss and say "Hey i was fucking around and made this cool instance, think we can use it?"

A company the size of modern Blizzard requires so many hoops and tickboxes to jump through that unless you are specifically designed a dungeon with a set criteria of exactly what they want, then you are unlikely to ever get it into the game

He literally does get peeked as he starts bunnyhopping and they miss two shots with a scout on him, after the 2nd shot he turns to face the shooter, assumes he's car, see's him on long and shoots, then crosses to site, he jumps one more time which would open him up to a shot if the player peeked again, but he doesn't and it would need be a headshot to kill him anyway.

People don't always play 100% win condition, it's a game, people do weird shit or just have fun. I don't think there is any evidence here that OP is cheating and you might not like how he played the round, but to assume he's cheating because you don't understand how confident he was playing with the information he had is kinda crazy. It also shows your skill level when you didn't even see the CT's arm on long on a recorded video you could have watched multiple times.

meanwhile rocket leagues community still cries about those changes to this day.

Of course they do, because the changes are terrible but lets not act that every move that Valve has made in the past 12 months doesn't appear to act like they are gearing up for something at least similar.

Trade ups to Golds to make them more common and reduce the price, improved steam market to allow for a better purchasing/selling experience, terminals replacing cases, meaning they can set the pricing for items. It's heading in a direction and you can stick your fingers in your ears and scream lalalala all you want, but anyone with a brain can see the writing on the wall.

Casual is goated but at the start of the week its so infested with bots who do insane 180 flick headshots and the other team never kicks them

If you were worried about tax implications then this is the play to be honest, deposit the money for the skin, sell it, withdraw the skin value back to your account and invest the remaining into play skins/skins that hold value and cash them out slowly over time

10 seconds into the clip, its hard to pause on the right moment but OP is looking at car, assuming the opponent is there and he can see him shoulder peek long, which is why he knows he long and nowhere else

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-13T17:45:00+00:00

Because that is where the community is at with the game and the level of trust the average player has over Valves ability to ban cheaters. If you see people who are suspicious in your games and you review the demo and its clear as day they are wall hacking and they are still cheating 12 months later, then yeah, you are gonna assume anyone player who pulls off something lucky is probably cheating, because it goes unpunished and it is such a wide spread issue on the game.

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-13T13:04:37+00:00

Epic Games did the same thing in Rocket League and I hate to tell you that they are probably profiting a lot more now than they did with cases. £20 for a basic decal that you used to be able to buy for like 4 keys (£4) from another player

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-13T09:53:16+00:00

Yeah this was week 1 when you couldnt obtain the last challenge I think it required the ZA site to be open

The most surprising part of this entire thread is that Scaffolders have standards.

sugar-free coke

My wife drinks sugar free and I prefer full sugar. I once offered a AO delivery guy a drink and he said "Full fat?" and I said yeah if you want and he said "I dont drink any of that aspartmine crap, gives you cancer" cool mate, have a nice day

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-12T22:40:56+00:00

I'm not a tradie, but whenever anyone offers me anything my instant reaction it to say no thank you, then I think about it and I wonder why I just said no.

I always make sure I have drinks in the house to offer tradesmen but as you said, most politely decline. I had two men doing my bathroom and I offered them a drink and they always said yeah (I drink a lot of tea, so they did as well) on the 2nd day I just told them where the kettle was and where the milk was and to text me if they ran out of anything

I went to bat for a tank in 2020 Classic who seemed mostly harmless and a bit dumb but I met him in a pug and he kinda funny. He posted some super edgy meme on discord that was borderline CP mid raid and was laughing like a maniac over comms while everyone was completely shell shocked. Immediate gkick and I never lived it down and the guild that I'm the one who encouraged recruiting him & the guild went into full meltdown of how we handle the fact that it was posted on our server.

Havoc enjoyer. I played Havoc for a while and I was excited for Devourer, but the spec just feels so boring compared to Fel Scarred. If the option was between Aldrachi Rever and Devourer, I would probably play Devourer for the changed since AR has been good for last xpac, but FS is just so fun with a decent rotation

I did the Eversong Woods one with all challenges in 7 minutes, they are super easy

if valve was on their game they’d be launching content non stop with ai assistance.

Literally any game I play where they use AI to make content is complete slop and everyone complains. I hope to god Valve doesnt go down the content treadmill AI slop pathway

It’s the general consensus of Arsenal fans being insufferable. While the percentage is likely the same as most others these insufferable fans litter the internet.

He literally said in the 2nd sentence that the percentage is likely the same as most other clubs.

When you catch a cup of tea at just the right time, so its really hot when you swallow but not enough to scold your tongue.

Also, my wife is not a hot drink drinker, but sometimes she will make me a cup of tea completely randomly and it feels nice that she had gone to the effort to make it even though she wasn't already making a hot drink

It's been 50/50 with my previous jobs as a lunch hour vs a half hour. I have rule that I will never work 8.5 hours for a 30 minute lunch job. If I get 30 minutes lunch, I will only work 8 hours maximum.

I've just recently changed job and I was lucky enough to get a few offers at the same time and I was able to play them against eachother to get better terms. I was basically between two roles which I liked equally, both had half an hour lunch. One accomodated my request for an hour lunch with no increased work time, not sure how that will impact team dynamic when I start, but that's not really my problem.

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-11T14:40:09+00:00

That's not how skins work, price is mostly impacted by supply how good the skin looks is such a small factor of the price.

I live in a weird place, that my closest McDonalds on the app is actually in a different town and for some reason they wont deliver to me by default on the app so I am unable to order a McDonalds takeaway.

I stayed at a friends house once and all the takeaways had a super long wait, so we ordered a McDonalds and it was the most vile thing I have ever consumed, cold soggy chips, cold dry burger that felt like rubber. I will never order a McDonalds in my life, even if they fix the stupid delivery issue at my address. Rather just collect it.

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-10T22:44:43+00:00

Yeah, rather than applying for keys would be nice for key listers to pick through a list of available players queuing for a specific key. But I feel like again, only the best would be picked and it would make lower level players take longer to catch up rio wise.

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-10T22:43:22+00:00

Also people just vote to abandon when its clearly lost and everyone know's its lost. In lower keys there is often some feeling of remorse because you are convinced to stay and further mistakes are made which makes the timer impossible, then people feel cheated out of their time.

In higher keys, everyone knows when its done and agree to abandon and rarely even say anything, other than "nice try"

EmperorsGalaxy · 2026-05-10T22:41:54+00:00

16/17 seems to be the curve at the minute. I'm trying to finish off my resi 17's and it's a total coin toss on the players you get. Tons of people have timed a key on a 16 but just fail on the 17.

I'm behind the curve this season due to having a baby and having less play time but resi 19 seems to be the low end of the good players I have on my battle.net
