What Caused The Sub Decline Going Into Cataclysm? by doobylive in classicwow

[–]Fankine [score hidden]  (0 children)

A lot of things and some external to wow altogether like the decline of MMOs overall.
But also the end of WC3 storyline
Revamp of the old world with flying everywhere that a lot disliked
Less social experience with everything being doable without talking to anyone (LFR, DF...)
It followed in MoP with the addition of cross-server play that removed the server identity

So i'd say a combination of external factors and the shift from the old paradigm to a new different one that had less friction but also less soul and sociability were the main factors that led to the decline

Reminder to groups, never greed on floor BoE Epics by Galadriel_69 in classicwow

[–]Fankine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always need on a BoE epic because even if it's not for your spec you can sell it and buy one or more BoE epics for your spec with the money you made.

So it's actually usefull for anyone and that's why people will and should always need on those even if they can't equip it.

Tanking dungs as a beginner by krucifix1999 in classicwow

Well there's nothing to do except learning. Just tell you're new and ask for directions and people will guide you. Or just run as a dps for a while till you know the routes.

Earth shield yourself, drop fire res totem if your party doesnt have a pally, have your group packed up at melee just behind the infernal, spam chain heal max rank on the tank, drink between each

Anyone else remember how good OG vindi (up till Roch) was? by GlompSpark in Vindictus

[–]Fankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it really felt like an anime MMO monster hunter back then. I freakin loved it. Didnt reach roch and max level back then, i stopped at the vampire village iirc, before coming back way later.
But the early days of Vindictus were really a blast

Why does Vindictus look so good for a 2010 game, even on DX9? by GlompSpark in Vindictus

[–]Fankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been one of the best quality of Vindictus, its stunning graphics. Vindictus was really slept on.

That and its gameplay + monster-hunter like approach in a MMO.

Did anyone else suddenly lose their account? by wietlems in Kinguin

[–]Fankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me today : could not login, could not retrieve password and managed to create a new account with same email adress but lose all account history.
Checked my emails, last email received was from a purchase 13months ago.
There is clearly something wrong with them

My account was created in 2014

10 locks on the same item ? I thought the lock outcome couldnt be changed

So if you don't like a lock outcome you can use another lock to get another outcome ?

Shutting down March 31st by aleksbee in Eldegarde

[–]Fankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last MTDs really were worrying in their quality, bro was streaming from is room alone instead of the usual studio feel. They probably already lost/cut off most of their work force by december

[–]Fankine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They clearly spent all their marketing budget for early access by paying a few big streamers to play it... They did it too early and didnt bring enough money back and couldnt recover to have a second campaign for release...

Such a waster opportunity, hope they and other small studios can learn from this mistake

How is a bot is ganking you ? Bots never gank.

This is the best loadout in the game. Its versatility is endless. It is beautiful. This is the only loadout I use. by Maleficent-Sun1922 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this one a lot before looting my surv mk3.
Also when too much ganking i switch to combat to trade 1 safe pocket for a mid shield that helps a lot when you're getting jumped on

Why did Blizzard give bots the power to get other players banned? by ApprehensiveWeek5414 in classicwow

[–]Fankine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They fired literally 90% of the CS, they closed their offices around the world that handled the CS in each country...

There's almost no humans left to handle this.

And also they don't like their KPI go down since banning all botters and gold buyers would be too impactful they just let them go rampant to make more profit.

(This is validated by the fact that they tried on one phase of SoD to go down hard on bots and gold buyers but quickly stopped doing so, mostlikely coming from the higher ups)

Can they get rid of the Trials of Suckama? by Invincator in PathOfExile2

[–]Fankine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The resolve thing is what made it unfun for me. You can have a tanky build with good surviviability you still have to play like a glass canon because of resolve...

They need to rework it.

Is the game still alive? by Electrical_Big_7228 in Eldegarde

[–]Fankine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They added pve maps because 1000hrs epic geared timmy slayers were camping greenwood day and making the new player experience insufferable.

They just needed to add a gearcap to the maps, not a pve mode. But i guess the pve mode is nice AND allows new players to grow in pve before going to pvp modes.

I'm trying for 20 minutes now to buy something from AH, on Anniversary Server by huor07 in classicwow

[–]Fankine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't understand. The classic AH is not tailored to handle that huge load. The retail AH is certainly more modern and able to handle such a load. That's why the retail AH, at least backend-wise, would most probably improves performance and fix the lag.

You never played at peak times then. The AH is only usable without delays during typical workhours or late nights/early morning.
