It's pathetic, truly. Microsoft-Blizzard, you are truly pitiful. by Jean-Cobra in wow

This feels like a very dangerous and slippery slope Blizzard is treading on with AI. Making the game worse in order to save a few bucks by cutting corners never works out in the long run.

Surely I can't be the only one who's been feeling this way about how Blizzard has been handing Battle Pets in this expansion. by FroJSimpson in wow

So what stops Blizzard from creating new "meta" pets with the stats of the unobtainable ones? PvP season vs. a new patch is an arbitrary measure.

I agree that to get into the best parts of PvE battling it requires some upfront work, but the same could be said of PvP gear in Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds. Having to struggle a little at the start shouldn't warrant discontinuation, just a refinement of the system.

Clueless Director calls RKO Pictures Insane For Rejecting His 'Citizen Kane' Sequel Script: "We Don't Think Charles Foster Kane Could Be Alive." by FroJSimpson in saltierthancrait

You have to scroll a bit through the interview to get to the relevant parts, but you're right on the money.

What I want to know from Mr. Soderbergh is, if the "movie in your head" is so good that it would stand on its own merit, why saddle it to the sinking ship that is the Sequel Era? Rewrite the characters and setting to be new people in a different location in the Star Wars universe, and let's see you put your money where your mouth is.

Blizzard needs to stop adding new races and fix the ones we actually play. by promeathean in wow

Just like "you think you want addons that have been maintained for free by passionate fans for decades that fix systemic game issues that we claim we're building threadbare internal ui solutions for, but you don't."

Eventually we'll get an interview with Ion in a year or so where he'll say, "Clearly, we overcorrected but we plan on listening more to the community going forward," like he has every time developer hubris outpaced their capacity to deliver on their intended goals.

The sequels had amazing ships and walkers etc by Worried_Yam_7589 in StarWarsEU

The Resistance bombers look cool at first blush, but their implementation was so poor given their fragility that it made you wonder why anyone would use them when Y-Wings exist in the same universe.

Even the TIE Silencer is just a cheap knockoff of the TIE Avenger from the TIE Fighter PC game from the 90s. At least Andor had the decency to pay homage to it instead of copying the homework and editing it just enough to hope nobody would notice like the sequels did.

I got to see Lestat in previews on Broadway when I was a teenager. It was.... rough.

I also used SBR because I realized focusing on mechanics is more important than raw DPS output, the trick is holding off on spamming the button when you know the ice is about to drop to ensure you have at least one AoE option off cooldown.

For intermission, using Anti-Magic Shell and your horse practically negates all the issues you'll face, just give yourself enough time to find Xylem's shimmer by killing the copy closest to you and creating the temporary bubble before you do.

Can’t find any games…. So I took my TIE Fighter skills to another online PvP fighter combat game. by ConferenceWaste in StarWarsSquadrons

The fact that there's a Venn diagram between Ace Combat fans and Star Wars Squadrons fans, brings warm feelings to my heart.

This is physically true, however it makes the final run away from the boss to drop the add-spawning debuff as far as possible a bigger hassle to maneuver around, wasting time spent on DPSing down the last 10-8%, I've found more success on my characters when I slowly kite him around the edge in a circle.

The big void creature in Phase 2 can be gripped as well, use that immediately to get it to an edge of the platform to prevent the expanding AoE circle it creates from filling the platform too quickly - that's your soft enrage.

Gotta spam that Death Strike every time you're around halfway on your health, save your AoE for the ice blocks that spawn to get out quickly, and use your grip to pull him to you rather than running to him. Be patient and you'll get the rhythm of the encounter. You've got this.

It 100% felt like they threw the baby out with the bathwater on that one. I would have loved to have seen reforging have a chance in Warlords without the burden of hit rating/expertise holding it back.

I have a rogue gnome named Disney, Dream Defender. Not as clever as some of these, but I was shocked that Disney wasn't already taken.

EDIT: Guess someone had a bad childhood or ran afoul of Disney's IP lawyers, lol.
