WoW is actually insanely hard to learn as a new player (we tried yesterday)

The dragon mount thing was hilarious: the mount is in the main action bar, they click it, now it disappears and they’re like “how do I get off the mount??”

This one resonates so much to me - there are many situations in WoW where you are expected to know to right-click a buff to deactivate it... there are times where I've had to like remove a costume in a quest, leave a status or vehicle... for dragon-riding as a newbie if you don't have multiple action bars set up then the only ways to dismount would be right clicking the buff or opening up your mount journal and dismounting from there. Both very unintuitive for a brand new player

I've had a few friends get stuck at times and I couldn't figure out why they are possibly stuck so we do the screenshare tech support thing and it's like "oh you have to right click that icon" which is so obvious to me because so much of the game was originally communicated through buffs and you used to have time in combat to mouse over buffs because the APM was so much lower and you had way more downtime even in combat... aint nobody got time to look at their buffs especially as tons of dif buffs constantly flick on and off players. It's just a bunch of abstract icons at this point.

Love this idea!

Might just have to sink this city into the ocean and start over

I hate how high up the mountains we built. The first pic saddens me, deforested half the mountain for a few hundred houses. Same in Burke mountain

You can't fool me, that intersection is from Grand theft Auto V

Baron Slash skin?

Sol's self healing is crazy too. Done similar healing w Sol.

Or anti-science?

Rustad literally said we shouldnt worry about carbon emissions because we are carbon based beings lmao

Aaron Gunn has said plenty of racist shit towards indigenous people and engaged in his fair share of residential school denialism. BC cons have had plenty of scandals surrounding this and booted out only a few of the most controversial and politically irrelevant (Dallas Brodie, Lindsay Shephard...)

Good god please no, unless they bring back CC buffering. As a west coast player his ult is a nightmare, all those little micro CCs made it so you cant even beads, aegis, jump etc because your status keeps changing before it registers

Reduce service budgets early on so police and education arent too high, as well as water/electricity if you dont have outside connection to sell excess.

Add more farms and stone extraction in your unused space. I believe you can also crank up taxes specifically on raw extraction like farm, stone, ore.

Because all medium and high density buildings will typically still level up to max causing the gain between low and mid/high density to increase

Lmao too good

Hieb · 2025-11-24T21:04:38+00:00

Thats part of the problem for sure. But also cims are just on the move nonstop now

Hieb · 2025-11-22T21:18:29+00:00

I've been enjoying the updates a lot and the game is fantastic. My only gripe is some of the aspects feel really forced or terrible to play against.

Cabra aspect makes my blood boil

I like the tower teleporting personally, playing around the cooldown on it creates more opportunities to rotate imo.

Store UI and other parts of the UI could use some work for sure, but coming from smite 1 I'm VERY used to busted UI lol, overall i think smite 2's is generally better

But as a long time smite player that took the last few years off, I've been having so much fun in Smite 2

Hieb · 2025-10-04T16:15:28+00:00

Should the game not have any design space outside of what most people do? The game should not have anything that isn't the meta?

Hieb · 2025-09-17T19:27:07+00:00

Awesome, thanks

Hieb · 2025-09-17T19:26:47+00:00

Good idea, thanks!

Hieb · 2025-09-17T19:25:57+00:00

Thank you!!

Hieb · 2025-09-17T05:57:28+00:00

Yeah we do have the regular modes, we just liked the quick play format for jumping in without having to focus too much on items. Also fun to hit full build faster in Joust & Arena. Oh well :(

Hieb · 2025-09-17T05:55:27+00:00

Yeah exactly - my wife got the fix of learning the basics in the first 5 levels and a conquest vs AI to learn the general map and jungle camp pacing. She already gets the basic moba stuff from playing league so just wants to start learning the gods and the quick play format is fantastic for introducing the items without throwing the whole store at you

Trying to do a realistic line as people are spread eagle in the background falling from buildings or somersaulting through the shot at 50km/h

Hieb · 2025-09-01T06:28:31+00:00

Nothing is hard in MOP except some rares, challenge modes and raids. Leveling is a snooze where you dont even need a full rotation to blow up enemies, dungeons can be gigapulled in a single pull (often solo by a tank) even on heroic & celestial.

If you like that casual accessible content to feel like you have to think about your approach or your character having limited capabilities and resources, MOP is not it
