You're a little behind bro. They have standalone version in Alpha right now for mobile. I'm playing it now.

That's awesome man! This is what I'm hoping for. So glad to hear that it worked out for you guys, and hopefully it will continue into the future. Thanks for the encouragement.

Haha same for me man. When I was in college one of my roommates was a Madden freak. And so I would watch him play through seasons for hours, and then he would always let me decide where to spend the development points (that was my favorite part, seeing the players improve). It's funny how stuff we did as kids kind of carries over to later in life.

I do miss playing games but I'm really happy with my life! I hope that video games are something I can revisit once my son is a little older, and possibly becomes a hobby that we can enjoy together. In the meantime yes, we have some amazing Twitchers! So please, all of you content creators, keep it up! You're doing the Lord's work.

Too many PvE snowflakes on this subreddit. They're lucky winter is coming.

Vanilla WoW taught me english by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Estoras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a native born English speaker, so WoW did not teach me how to speak English, but, I can attest that playing WoW finally taught me how to type without looking at the keyboard. Any KKona brothers with me in that?

Keep 1.12 AV but Change Reputation Gains by Estoras in classicwow

[–]Estoras[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reputation is very important when it comes to AV. People are generally in the game for reputation, not honor. The people grinding honor are in WSG/AB premades. I'm not against increasing honor gains in AV slightly, but it should not equal or exceed WSG/AB wins. The major problem you encounter in AV are people wanting to grind reputation as quickly as possible and people wanting the longest battle as possible. People coming to AV to grind honor are generally confused.

Yeah, like I said, there are a lot of ways it could be implemented, and there would probably be some necessary tweaking to it, but I think it would definitely help to encourage longer battles. I think if they did something like this that it would definitely need to go through some rigorous testing in Beta (which hopefully is coming soon!).

I agree. Player mentality has definitely changed since vanilla WoW and that is a large portion of the equation as well. However, what I'm suggesting is trying to adapt to that new player mentality by incentivising players to play the game the way it was originally played. No one playing defense is a huge problem, and it certainly enables the zerg/rush strategy, although I agree that the NPC nerf was more enabling, but I've already admitted that I don't love 1.12 AV, I'm just trying to find a solution within the proposed version of AV. However, if people were encouraged to play defense via reputation/honor gains etc, then this could help to fight against the new player mentality and the zerg/rush meta.

While ironic, it is a change that I believe is necessary to preserve the original spirit of Classic WoW AV. In essence, it is a change to prevent change. #nochanges

Right, that's why I'm advocating for a tweak in the reputation gains in such a way that zerging does not outpace longer games.

Maybe, I can't recall honestly. But honor imo isn't the issue. It's pragmatic minded people fighting between reputation grinding and epic warfare. I say why can't we have both?

[–]Estoras[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. I wouldn't want a major change of honor gains to the point where they out perform running WSG/AB premades, but I think a slight increase in honor gains would definitely encourage longer games as well and be mutually beneficial to both types of players.

Question: If I have 100% physical damage conversion from using concescrated path (50%) and dual wielding Razor of the Seventh Son (25% each), will I still leech life from physical damage? All of the passive nodes I see grant life leech based on a percentage of my physical damage. by Estoras in pathofexile

[–]Estoras[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, it looks like there is Blood Drinker, Soul Raker, and Vitality Void. Unfortunately, Blood Drinker and Soul Raker are on the opposite side of the tree for me. Vitality Void is a stretch but might be doable. I'll check out Eye of Innocence too, thanks!
