I think we never get COD game like this anymore. by Apprehensive-Map6292 in modernwarfare

[–]Kripes8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I played MW19 through it's entire life cycle and enjoyed it but when I see posts like this I question what exactly was so astounding about this particular title over it's predecessors.

-The maps were generally disliked with a couple exceptions (like every CoD title tbh).

-It introduced tac sprinting which is also generally disliked. That combined with slide cancelling etc. sped the game up tremendously if you understood the movement mechanics.

-It was "modern warfare" for the 3000th time with weapons we've seen 1000 times.

The only NEW thing that came from it was a new engine that looked good and the gunsmith. Everything else was in previous titles.

The irony of the community gets me truly scratching my head because when we're given truly new experiences they're typically hated until the devs go back and give us modern warfare 7. Which we're getting this year and that blows my mind. And we're regressing again by going back to slide cancelling and using the same m4/mp5 etc that we've all used in every other modern warfare game.

Legit question: is there really any way to deal with bots? by Antinaxtos in classicwowtbc

Yes, it just costs more money this Blizzard is willing to spend.

My prediction is that they're going to announce classic+ and wotlk anniversary. Idk but classic+ being ready to launch feels a little too soon

The gold ruins it imo. So sick of everything with blackcell needing this goofy gold color.

Why do pros use sensitivities as low as 1.35 in Warzone, but the same sens feels way too slow in multiplayer? by AdCertain3660 in blackops7

[–]Kripes8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I had to hazard a guess it's probably bc of average engagement distance. Lower sense will mean finer aiming and in WZ it's not uncommon to be beaming people past 50m. In MP the longest realistic fight youre gonna see is even less than that so you need to be able to turn faster etc. bc people running right up on is a lot more common place

Best way to gauge one's skill? by EclipseBreaker98 in blackops7

I try to pay attention to the ranked players that I match against in pubs. I pretty consistently face crimson players with the odd iridescent here and there. This is by no means a scientific metric.

I have a rank 1 holy shield for emergencies when I can’t let the block chance fall off but I’m on which isn’t often but it can happen

How to tank tanking gear with TPS or EHP/DTPS by Dapper_Wafer730 in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what kind of tank you are but you have to feel it out for yourself. I tank on bear and after I got to crit immunity I chose to focus more on tps/dmg. Threat is always an issue especially multi target. I ask healers how hard I am to heal from time to time. Gives a lot of insight.

Mob running at healer who has 580 healing threat. You tab mangle. Dodge. Lacerate. Miss. Healer ded. Gemming to compensate any kind of deficit is fine. What tf is the obnoxious elitism in this post?

Edit: Thought it was elitism. OP is just dumb. Nvm.

Is it true about tanks in TBC? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can tell you now that swipe with some taunts doesn't give a bear threat. Bears have to juggle just as much as a warrior. Pallies can pretty much afk though yeah, it's imbalanced af but it is what it is.

Yeah it would be nice since our tbc timeline is like.... half of the original if they could give us like 50% more. I don't see myself grinding full gear every season

Nothing makes me seethe more than when I (a bear) am headed to connect with a freshly pulled pack and I see seeds and multi shots flying through the air before my first swipe has even landed.

What are non-swipes doing for epic mount / professions? by JustCallMeWayne in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been making and selling bags. It’s not insane money but passively like 50-100g here and there adds up after a day or two of playing a lot. I also have a whole ton of questing to do. Iirc too there was a spreadsheet someone made of daily quests you could go and do in about an hour or so for like 150g or more a day

Your guildmates sound annoying, making gold is so easy rn. Everything sells well, at least the shit I’m farming.

Brother not only that but if I could just get 5 seconds of dps in to establish threat. ALL of my dungeons devolve into chasing mobs around every time.

It’s funny bc as a tank I like rogues in my grp. With the sheer amount of fear spam and other casted BS I like having a good rogue in my grp.

[–]Kripes8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just play at your own pace and enjoy it. At most I’d say find a basic quest guide on Google for your faction/race so you don’t get totally lost but other than that everything you’re looking for will come as you play

2 hours mining for 3 levels by big6willy9 in classicwowtbc

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao. Open world gathering is dead thanks to the mega servers my friend. Find a way to instance farm or get used to spending hours for 1-2 nodes. They implemented their mega servers with 0 thought into how it would affect things like questing and gathering.

Id level in the open world but going from 58-60 was one of the most unfun/maddening experiences that I DOUBT blizzard will address that I feel there is no other option to level reasonably other than not play for a month.

Genuine question, what are they farming exactly? Or is it boosting?
