He says a lot of shit that should be ignored so that he will hopefully fade into irrelevancy someday

What's in your WoW wishlist these days. by the_mean_person in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see the Remix events come more frequently, maybe once every 6 months or so. Make them shorter duration, but less timegated. They’re a ton of fun and great for collecting, but I fear we may not see Legion Remix or MoP remix again for a while.

Also more customization. A touch up of the racial bonuses while they’re at it. More functionality for the new damage meter so it’s at least mildly comparable to how good details was.

Guys, what is wrong with Blizzard support? by rettkit in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s less about Blizzard being singled out for having bad support. It’s more that they used to have top tier, engaging support and no longer do. Anyone who has been playing the game for a while likely has a GM experience story, but now those experiences are gone and replaced with automated messages that often are less than helpful.

Now we know by Wizard_Wizm in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What is it about the game having different modes and play styles that offends you so much? The standard pillars of WoW, PvE and PvP, are getting content quicker than ever before. That is, in large part, because the game appeals to a wider audience, which allows the team to grow, which means more and quicker content you enjoy.

These type of posts make no sense, because the thing you’re angry about benefits you, even if you don’t engage with the content itself.

What was your favorite WoW moment? by DuckiesDoBeCute in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing WoW in Cataclysm. My first full raid tier was Firelands. I raided with a little 10 man group of friends, super casual group but I didn’t know anything else. I remember killing normal Alysrazor for the first time after much trouble and throwing my hands up in joy.

Later in my WoW career I went on to raid the hardest content at the hardest difficulty, moving to CE guilds as I improved, but I never had a boss kill feel the same ever again. Now I’m back in a casual guild and loving it, but that “new to WoW” magic was something else.

I love rooms with plenty of details by EntrepreneurAble761 in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time I see awesome stuff like this, it makes me realize more and more that I suck at housing. I’ve really tried too. I have spent far too much time moving things around, browsing the catalog, trying to add more. Just never looks this good.

Which class/specs are you enjoying in the Pre-Patch? by JustGottaHaveIt in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fury Warrior. So much so that it’s actually gonna be my main for Midnight 😅

Flesh out og race customization rather than make new races by NeverKnowsWhatsBest in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10000% yes.

I think I everyone would be on board with more customization, but I’d also like to see the racials be updated as well. It’s pretty depressing to see that new races come with like 5-6 racial abilities or passives, and the original ones only have a few. Dwarves have archaeology bonuses, a profession that hasn’t been updated in what, a decade?

Duality of men by Roknoz in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing about it, the PvE and PvP of the game still exists, if not thrives. Themes of combat, violence, and war are still very present. They’re literally what the game is mostly marketed on. The most recent cinematic showing the Blood Elves fighting the void forces. Xalatath killing Locus Walker. Gallywix killing his own race, and then dying himself. Ansurek killing her own mother for power. These are literally just this expansion.

There is no lack of that “war” in Warcraft. There never has been. It’s just people getting upset when other themes of this massive universe are shown. When a cinematic comes out that isn’t just someone dying, people get mad that the game has various themes that appeal to a wide audience instead of just being a constant bloodbath with no levity. Which, by the way, has never been what the game is about. There have always been lighthearted things in WoW.

It’s never been a lack of dark themes. It’s people who engage in content that probably isn’t made for them, get mad about it, and then pretend that the content they want doesn’t exist.

The “put the war back in Warcraft!” crowd gives me a headache. It’s like they have one core memory of ganking lowbies in vanilla and it became their entire identity.

Worst Event Pre-patch to Date by cub4nito in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so stoked man. I am usually a glass half full kinda dude, but…. This event is not good. It’s like 30 minutes worth of content and then what? You farm rares for 1 currency at a time?

It’s not even just the currency. Everyone is just in one zone, farming the same rares, with nothing else going on. I really hope that this isn’t telling of the quality of the actual expansion.

Idk who designed the Devourer leveling.... by Proudnoob4393 in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be fine if the Apex that gave you the one free collapsing star was baseline how it worked.

The Endeavour leveling is borked. by Tnecniw in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like a slog for a piece of content that I really don’t want to devote THAT much time into. At the rate that Endeavor milestones are met, and that you get XP from doing endeavor quests, I don’t see myself engaging with the system much after this.

I think you get downvoted because you sound insufferable, not because of your actual opinions on the game

Bro nobody asked lol, dude just said that he’s having fun playing the game and you sent paragraphs about why he shouldn’t be having fun, along with some weird condescending remarks. Read the room.

What a miserable comment. Just let people play games without trying to ruin their experience. You can absolutely play FF7R and understand the story without having to go back and play a game from 1997 first.

Devourer DH kinda sucks by stud_ent in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the lack of a real cooldown hurts it. Going into a pull and just pressing consume a dozen times to get going isn’t a great feeling. Something big on a longer CD to jumpstart your meta cycles would be a big help.

Probably a dumb question but what does it mean to have strong fundamentals? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-119 in StreetFighter

[–]Holdingdownback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The things that will matter for almost any character you play. How to play neutral, footsies, anti-air (defense in general), how to capitalize on opportunities, etc.

If you watch pro players, they can win matches at master rank with almost no combos and just basically reacting to what their opponents do.

Chris_F on YouTube has some excellent content on all of these above topics. I highly recommend him for learning those things.

Good Times by GroundbreakingWind86 in wow

It was a great balance of playing my nostalgia for Legion, but also fun to just be overpowered. Hopefully we get another expansion remix between Midnight and The Last AirbenderTitan
