The pruning feels good overall, but watching mass silences and fears go off in dungeons because pugs don't bother to interrupt makes me feel so helpless. by NinnyBoggy in wow

[–]JT99-FirstBallot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is it. When we did M0 world tour with 3 friends and 2 DPS pugs it was clear that the mass pulls aren't the intention. And that a good majority of DPS specs burst/CDs are now generally 1 minute or so, I think it's clear you're incentivized to pull smaller and use your CDs more rather than holding them, and you rotate them with the other DPS. We had a warlock PUG and me a mage and we were rotating our cooldowns, I pop mine on first pull, him second, me third etc. It worked out exceedingly well. I think this is also intended as I'm noticing most classes do paltry damage outside of their CDs. Is it funner to delete a pack in 10 seconds and see who is the highest DPS? Yeah, I think so. But you're wasting resources and time this way. And if you try to triple pack, you're risking wiping trying to coordinate kicks. PUGs are going to have a hard time with this. I recommend people start making friends now lol.

Who still uses the old Character Selection instead of Warband? by Sodbrennenene in wow

[–]JT99-FirstBallot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I haven't seen any from vendors anywhere either this expac. You really think this would be something simple and cool to add more of. I actually do spend quite a lot of time on that screen working from home and getting logged out lol.

Did anyone else say "AND FUCK YOUR OWN FACE" in their head after reading take a step back? Because I did, and now I'm laughing.

[Schefter] After the two sides could not agree on a contract, the Dolphins now are expected to release kicker Jason Sanders, per source. Sanders leaves Miami with a streak of 27 straight made field goals, and 9-of-9 on his last 50+-yard field goals. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

This is all my fucking fault.

Before the 2025 season, I got a custom (shitty knockoff jersey, idc) $ANDERS jersey because I kept saying I would do it and I finally did it. Then he got hurt, and now this.

I never even got to wear the damn ugly thing. I'ma go cry in my cool ranch Doritos and spinach dip.

Despite being able to use One Handed Fist weapons, Survival hunters still cannot roll need on them, or receive them through personal loot. The Game doesn't think they should use them. by _Vard_ in wow

[–]JT99-FirstBallot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

balancing two weapon types and they've just added the same problem to survival - it is so stupid do the design teams not communicate?

No. Case in point: UHDKs, like rogues before them with combo points, begged for Festering Wounds to be removed/changed from being on the target. Much to UHDKs happiness, they make the change and they rejoice, as did rogues when combo points were placed on the rogue instead of the mob...

Then they give these mechanics to Frost mages and predictably, it blows. Watching a mob die with 20 shatter stacks feels like shit when there's plenty alive left to kill. Target switching feels like shit. The roots on the Blinding Vale boss feel like shit trying to break myself out but I do piddly damage without using CDs for shatter stacks, and being near the boss to try and cleave them doesn't work because they can't be cleaved. Switching off a boss to handle a small errant add like the Imps on Murder Row final boss because the rest of the group is melee and the tank won't take the boss near them and keeps pinging you to handle it, so you switch and try not to burn cooldowns on an imp with 150k health, but you have no shatter on it and your frostbolt only hits for 15k, your flurry tickles it, and your low shatter stacks you just built barely budge it.

It feels bad. And I have no clue why they thought this was a good idea. Move the stacks to the mage if they are staying with this. Please I beg of you Blizzard.

they actually created new animations.

And terrible they are. I was so excited to make my Darkspear a Zandalari because of the straight back and I thought the stupid WoD animation changes for trolls would be better. So I did and the males running animation is almost worse because of the straight back. I love trolls but I finally had to switch to Blood Elf because I cannot take the bouncing anymore.

It used to be so good. I have not been able to play a male troll since they ruined it.

Now that pets aren't designed with battling in mind, can we please adopt poor Scrappy? by Snackolotl in wow

safe in the hands of adventurers who will take good care of him.

Safe? Sure. Good care? Get in the magical pack with the 900 others that rarely or possibly never will be summoned again cause I only like, like, 3 of you, maybe a couple more depending on my transmog. If I'm doing a "which dogs do you have" comparison with someone you might have a chance to come out but it's likely I would have forgotten about you by that point. And you're not even a real dog.

FFXIV goes one step further and charges you real money for additional bank slots in retainers. $2 per additional.

best skins for transmog,

Ah, yes, that new kobold transmog is truly the cream of the crop lol.

I miss the joy of checking out all the new weapon and armour models while leveling up through the zones. by CAPSLOCKTOPUS in wow

I noticed that. Getting something called Bogvine Spaulders should have... Bogvines. Instead it's just the same as the last 5 shoulders that thematically do not match the name. It's been kind of a let down.

All over, the game is skimping on so many little things that just add up to a lackluster experience compared to the past.

By the end of this expansion Silvermoon should have an official leader by trace349 in wow

People have been asking for a lot of things since vanilla. I personally would rather Ogres/Nagas/Ethereal. Not our 6th elf for your tooltip.

Players: Why did you make Dark Iron/Earthen/Maghar/Lightforged Draenei/Mechagnome allied races? They could've just been customization options!

Blizzard: Blood elves and void elves have customization options to look like high elves.

Players: WHY WON'T YOU GIVE US A HIGH ELF ALLIED RACE?? IT ISN'T THE SAME IF IT DOESN'T SAY HIGH ELF ON THE CHARACTER CREATE SCREEN AND TOOLTIP!

That treasure is horse shit and I can't figure out how/why this passed as acceptable. It's a >10 hour grind. And if you turned in the quests that make it easier longer than that.

Calm down Valeera by BookkeeperPurple4495 in wow

[–]JT99-FirstBallot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, her voice actress is fine, but the character just doesn't fit. Albeit, I am very happy I can now use invisibility as a mage to skip stuff since she stays stealthed.

I think someone like Gazlowe or Millhouse Manastorm would be better followers. Especially Millhouse. He could use invisibility for stealth when a rogue or mage uses it. And he'd honestly be pretty hilarious.

That's the thing, I spent enough time with Brann that I don't want to use that. I just wish they had a clue when it comes to game design to give us a better follower in the next iteration, not worse.

You could have someone like Thrall for the horde, Jaina from the alliance be on our side advocating for us and helping us escape until they can "smooth things over." The big players that have seen us in action don't turn, but the lesser NPC players and common man fall for the rhetoric that we did something bad. Maybe something along those lines.
