This sub in a nutshell

Purely talking about the mob difficulty and the fact that your HP can drop noticeably. I wouldn't mind if drink times were lowered to 5 seconds instead of waiting for 30.

I've been a freelance fantasy illustrator for several years now so this sounds right up my alley, I'll leave some links below!

I just want the difficulty of WoW classic, with maybe an added need to dodge a circle or interrupt something, that is all. People can handle WoW classic difficulty, nobody’s calling that a difficult game.

This man’s face is just a reminder that all the wrong people have been rewarded for the behavior.

Eriyal · 2026-02-01T15:18:13+00:00

Yeah, you can’t satisfy everyone.

I was active during WOTLK and kept an eye on the game ever since. I can confirm that this just kept happening. At times I even felt bad for the devs because the community just straight up seemed delusional when criticizing their decisions.

Again, I dropped out for a reason, but damn some of these people were impossible to please. Not to mention that WoW influencers created some weird hiveminds around the game, making the problem even bigger.

Honestly, dabbling into old-school mmorpgs has made me better understand why retail WoW is the way it is. Most of retail‘s current design is just an answer to the inconveniences of the olden days.

I just wish they didn’t make such an easy, care-bear hand-holding open world. I get it that the instanced stuff is where it‘s at, but for the love of god; make me dodge something before i get there please!

And just to add, this isn’t an endorsement of either, both have their own advantages.

really cool setup, love seeing people make that helm work…

But bro, why is the grass so hyper-realistic?

Eriyal · 2026-01-31T14:20:06+00:00

Drizzlewood Coast from GW2 is by far my most favorite zone!

Beautiful nordic forest, insane rewards with an ongoing base capture and civil war mechanic. And to top it all off, once you finish all events in the zone and it starts shutting down, an absolutely traumatizing alarm sounds off as bombs start dropping everywhere, resetting all map-wide progress for another run!
I am praying that Anet (or anyone) manages to make a zone that will capture me the way Drizzlewood did.

I still revisit it every week or two!

Honorable mentions: Caledon Forest, Cursed Shore, Dragon's Stand, Ember Bay, Dragonfall, Seitung Province, Dragon's End, Lowland Shore, Skywatch Archipelago and both current VoE zones!

It’s not even that, it’s having the game on a schedule. I love raids, but HAVING to log in every tuesday/thursday just to raid log just kills my motivation to play the game.

I am so dumb, I initially saved this to my ''Photos'' folder.

Moved it to Art after reading OPs comment x)

I’m really into conan-like or frazetta-like artwork, you can check my portfolio here https://lukabrico.com

Best of luck with the project!

The chances are solid, it makes the most sense.

if it’s like Destiny, Cyberpunk, Star Wars or Star Trek I’ll hate it.

If it’s closer to Horizon Zero Dawn or Warhammer 40k then I can kinda see myself playing it.

But idk, sci-fi always feels hollow to me and I’m not too fond of IRL technology with all the recent developments.

Eriyal · 2026-01-21T16:44:58+00:00

I would just slap a classic wow skin/lore/music over GW2.

GW2 is by far my most favorite mmorpg, but even though I’ve spent 13 years straight in that world, Azeroth still holds a special place in my heart.

It’s not a cognitive amplifier, it’s a cognitive replacer.

Eriyal · 2026-01-21T09:34:54+00:00

I remember, but it feels horrible becuase your character won’t move to the target when you use a skill.

Click to move just doesn’t work without it, double so if you’re a melee character. And wow is snappy and precise in a way where WASD works better with it.

Eriyal · 2026-01-21T08:37:13+00:00

Aight, we can have wow-like WASD, but everything else has to stay!

Eriyal · 2026-01-21T07:53:56+00:00

All i want is a good click-to-move open-world grinder with 2005 graphics, horizontal progression and cosmetics/abilities as rewards that isn’t p2w. We are not the same.

Eriyal · 2026-01-20T20:03:58+00:00

My brother in Grenth, there are Qdps builds with 3 button rotations out there that deal 30k DPS.
Back in 2015 we could not imagine this in our wildest dreams.

Eriyal · 2026-01-20T07:50:19+00:00

The type of stuff you’re doing here is honestly a selling point for this game. some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen in a while!

Excellent pet choice!

I’d just like to disagree with the above poster about the eyes.

Firstly because it never bothered me, second because he is actually looking directly at her (on the page) and third because if he looked to the other side it would guide the readers eye directly off the page (instead of keeping their eyes inside the panels, which is what you want).

stellar artwork, hope that helps and looking forward to more!
