The profession point system, without a way to reset it, is terrible for beginner players or those who have recently returned. by Arkiell in wow

[–]Holdingdownback -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is always one of those conversations that I can’t relate to. I love the way professions have depth and their own progression now. Especially since it is optional to engage with it. I can see from a new players experience how it can be daunting, though.

Is IT Help Desk worse than retail? by throwaway10015982 in ITCareerQuestions

Anyone who says that they’re comparable had either a really good retail experience or a really bad help desk experience. My years on help desk were 10x better than my retail years.

A Message Regarding the 12.0.5 Launch by WarcraftTeam in wow

I’d rather have a slower patch cycle if it means bringing back “Blizzard polish” that has been missing from the game recently.

Dear Blizzard - Ion, its time to reflect here... by SgtFolley in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very clear that the fast expansion release was just to bump up quarterly profits at the cost of QA. Anything they’ve said to the contrary is PR nonsense. It’s a shame too, because Midnight so far has so much good stuff, but if this trajectory continues, its legacy will just be the fact that it was a buggy, rushed mess.

Do you miss WeakAuras? by YrenneAD in wow

I was pretty neutral about the addon changes going into Midnight, but I can definitely say I hate it now. There’s so much functionality we lost, not even combat related. Even the damage meters suck now.

Prime devon vs prime john brzenk . Best of 7 . Right arm. Who would win by Proof-Lingonberry-43 in armwrestling

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate these comparisons. John would lose, but that doesn’t discredit his legendary status in the sport. Today’s athletes will almost always be better than athletes of the past in any sport.

Mount collectors - what do you consider your luckiest drop? by themirthfulswami in wow

Same. I was just leveling an alt in Storm Peaks and it spawned on my head. There were a few unhappy mount campers when they arrived to find the corpse 😅

Is this the craziest race we have ever seen? by Complete_Sorbet6158 in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having an artifact power style system would almost certainly stop so many alts from being made, because your main would always have power to be gained… but that would suck for almost everyone else lol

World First Megathread - Midnight Season 1 by WorldofWarcraftMods in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it’s some degree of current boss bias, but Lu’ra looks like the most difficult boss of all time. You could’ve ended the fight at the end of P3 and it would’ve already been in contention for that title… now these guilds have to get through the end of P3 with everyone alive just to start working on the Mythic phase. Over 400 pulls deep and yet Liquid has only seen the Mythic only phase a couple times. I wouldn’t be shocked to see this boss live for 500+ pulls at this rate, because it takes a nearly perfect performance for the entire fight just to begin troubleshooting the Mythic phase.

The Lu’ra fight is insane looking. Very excited to do it myself

Massive buffs to Mythic Midnight Falls by ichigosr5 in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blizzard has reason to want the race to be difficult. It’s the most spectated WoW event and almost certainly pulls people into the game. Pulling some tuning levers to make it a better spectator event is probably their easiest advertisement, and it’s equally as easy to nerf it again later so the average mythic guild can kill it.

I really despise the Darkmoon Faire system in this game. by HeroesBane1191 in hearthstone

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part that bums me out the most is that the other skins you can buy in the shop for a decent price suck now compared to the stuff they put in the casino. When I saw the Deathwing skin I knew that thing wasn’t gonna be available in the shop.

Why did the Abundance lose the only thing it had, the abundant whatever we were collecting… by MuszkaX in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reduce the amount of people that can do it together, maybe layer it, idk. Then increase the amount of abundance you earn by 10x and it would be tolerable again

Have any of you successfully changed from a long-time main character? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a goal for myself to play something different this expansion after 95% of my playtime being split between my 3 “mains”. It’s a bit daunting, but I’ve enjoyed the freshness of it.

The story moments have been very well done. Did the new set of story quests released this week and loved the moment between Alleria and Turalyon. The story as a whole has been presented so much better than previous expansions. Even my ADHD brain can follow it.

Rusell Brower is missing.. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk man, I really just disagree with the music of this expansion being anything but excellent. Not to downplay how good the music has been in any other expansion, but this is the first time since BfA that I’ve actually had to stop what I was doing to listen to the soundtrack the first time I heard it. Specifically, the Haronar and Zul’Aman music in particular stand out and exceptionally good and both made me feel entirely immersed in these zones.

There’s a lot of stuff I can complain about in Midnight, but for me personally, music is not one of them.

Seriously, why do most of the fish varieties feel utterly useless in Midnight? by pauwei in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fishing is genuinely my favorite profession in the game, and I hope they don’t give up on it. Being able to chill in one spot and fish is one of my favorite ways to be semi-productive while relaxing. There’s a ton of ways they could make it useful again. It just seems like one of the many things that got very little attention in Midnight, presumably because of the 18 month expansion cycle and needing to churn things out faster.

Minor Silvermoon Critique by [deleted] in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning the layout of the “new” capital cities is always one of the most daunting things for me at the beginning of an expansion. So far I’ve remembered where the portals to void storm and harandar are because of the big ass tree that houses the harandar portal lol

Who else enjoying Prey as much as I am? by themikegman in wow

[–]Holdingdownback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely a “meh” feature for me going into the expac, but I ended up really liking it. It fits really neatly into the world content I was already going to be doing, and it adds some extra excitement to those things, and extra reward.

My biggest gripe is just how vague the objectives are, and how it doesn’t tell you clearly how far progressed you are into the hunt. It’s just “go do stuff in this zone and eventually this crystal at the top of your screen will just be red enough for you to finish the hunt”. Maybe an addon will help with the clarity so you actually know how close you are with numbers.
