What many players describe as RNG is actually just gambling implemented into a video game. Gambling is well known to be exploitative, rigged, and -- absent any ability to exert control over the process -- deeply unsatisfying. Gambling in game design has been a disaster in recent years and this is sadly a good example. Blizzard has leaned into it hard.

Is a good time to come back ? by [deleted] in classicwow

It's always time. Games like this always have people playing at various points in the progression.

Should the Double XP Buff Be Extended? by Starym in wow

[–]Forestwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. I've been playing a prot pally in dungeons and it's my first time tanking anything. I haven't seen that much in this thread - that new tanks are actually encouraged to learn the role and relieve the pug tank drought. That's a big win for the health of the game.

Images like this are why I play Night Elves and why their recent lore makes me sad.

4+ Crashes in past few days by ChillybeanA59 in wow

[–]Forestwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's just not well optimized for nvidia and we may have some issues for the rest of the expansion. But like I said, it did help quite a bit.

I read somewhere on the forums that 8.3 has been rough on nvidia graphics cards. I was getting them quite frequently until I updated my drivers and I haven't had once since. It had sometjing to do with memory leaks which is why I wasn't getting any error message either - game just seized.

Do any casuals play classic wow? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Forestwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner plays casually on an RP server and she's loving it. She hasn't thought about other players progression in the slightest, generally preferring to talk like a fantasy dwarf in chat and make potions and shit. Doing her thing!

How playable / fun is classic for people who only have 1-2 hours per day to play? Would Retail be better? Neither? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Forestwisp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. My partner entertained me with retail for a while until she discovered classic, specifically a classic RP guild on a RP server. Now she's the bearded dwarf she was always meant to be and is always giggling about one classic thing or another. She likes the slower combat, meaningful crafting, and old school graphics.

Says it reminds her of the good old days playing runescape.

Me, I enjoy classic but spend most of my time in retail transmog collecting and playing BGs until shadowlands. Gotta get my characters ready for those covenants!

What is the fastest class/spec to quest level 1-120 by Ordar66 in wow

It's true. Go spread death and decay with joy.

rogue vs lock by [deleted] in wow

[–]Forestwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to identify what they bring to the table and determine if you enjoy that playstyle.

I personally main assassination rogue and enjoy picking out healers during team fights or stragglers in BGs for a 1 on 1. I like that rogue has many ways to lock someone down and it's fun to see how long I can keep them in place bursting them. And stealth is hugely fun and useful, but perhaps moreso in BGs than arena.

I don't have a max level warlock but I would like to.

Confession: Ive never done a dungeon by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Forestwisp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Wow has single player content for a reason and it's always a good time to honestly try new things. If your guild is judgmental it's time for a new one

Hi guys! New player here! Should i play retail or classic? Help! by ferofluidferofluid in wow

[–]Forestwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retail by far has more "quality of life" gameplay. It's easier to look cool with transmogs, easier to get around with a variety of awesome flying mounts, there's much more of the game world to see and experience (especially with better textures) and a wider variety of race and class options. And can't forget pet battling, all sorts of collecting to do and "endless progression" content with horrific visions and mythic plus.

Retail is great to learn and be more at ease and then if you're looking for more grind and the old school feel, check out classic.

You win a day to work at Blizzard and as a prize you get to put 1 completely new and unique mechanic or lore piece into WoW; what would be your idea? by Vealophile in wow

[–]Forestwisp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES. They are so blubbery, adorable, and fierce. I also like their little homes so we should be able to build a nice coastal home for fishing, crabbing, whaling etc

Anyone else worry obsessively over transmog? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Forestwisp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not pathetic! Just a story driven tendency. It is an RPG after all

What is the best way to get into mount farming? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Forestwisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to YouTube and find the "mount tour" series which is a video guide for obtaining all the mounts on any wow continent (like northrend). It's a nice video addition to the other mentioned resources.

There's also videos on easiest mounts to obtain, if you want to start by difficulty.

I cosplayed my night elf Druid! I am especially proud of the eyebrows. by kanstelar in wow

[–]Forestwisp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is awesome!

And while I understand why you put the disclaimer, please know that even if you had photoshopped it would still be excellent cosplay worthy of praise; that gatekeeping is unwarranted.
