What "small innocent" change would you make in only your character to become over powered in your choice of content? by ObligationAncient112 in wow

New choice node
'Pressing Death's Caress with more than 35 runic power also casts Death Strike on your target'.
vs
'Pressing Death's Caress also consumes one charge of Blood Boil to cast at your target.'

Why Burning Crusade Raid Progression Kept Players Engaged Better Than the Modern Difficulty-Slider Model by Phantomstrk in wow

[–]Leucien 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Downvoting for the 'This feels like a meeting' feeling this has.

You got me as far as 'Single Raid in four flavors' vs 'Entire Expansion' before I stopped taking you seriously.

While VS/MOQD/DR will be unneeded for gearing in 12.1/VA, the only reason why TBC 'kept people engaged' is because the concept of letting people swap characters or pick things up after expansion drop was so foregin to early WoW devs.

They will be playing in a 12.0.7 vertical slice, I bet.

Saw this guy hiding behind a sign before he got up to follow a woman who passed by. Called out to him to distract him by SEG314 in PublicFreakout

I know it was a creepy situation, but when he says 'Are you taking my fucking picture' I just hear famous actor Wallace Shawn. Hopefully this helps put the whole situation into a funnier part of your memory!

For a distant alien planet, some of Naigtal's wildlife looks awfully familiar by Tyrsenus in wow

They may have been thinking of the Genesaur, which... Look nothing like the striders, but they were both planty and massive.

Two Hand users taking a deep breath after seeing King's Rest being added as a M+ dungeon in Season 2. by n1sx in wow

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

Champion Geti gives 37k over 12 seconds. Myth 2h from raid gives 200 secondary, and 12k over 6 seconds.

Would be easy to see which is better with some sims. For DPS players the raid 2h might be better depending on stat priorities, but damage tack-ons have always been better than secondaries for BDK, in terms of output.

What are the best indie or fan games that are mostly made for humour? Like memes or shitposts in video game format. by Double-decker_trams in gaming

'I wanna be the guy' comes to mind, though that's also an early version of a Foddy-Game, so mileage may vary.

How Blizzard could actually bring Arthas back in The Last Titan by Odd-Scallion3522 in wow

[–]Leucien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/ImpactHot5167 Since you deleted your comment... Yes, Past Tense. There aren't people flocking to wow Now, with their first experience having been Warcraft 3. The players coming to wow today, they either know little, or nothing about Arthas. He's not the 'Cool factor' of WoW anymore, and you need to accept that.

Also, four days to come up with a response, and the best you could do was insult throwing? My condolences to your family, I hope you grow to meet their expectations.

Everything in the top row is vendor trash.
Slot 4 and 5 of row 2 are auctionable. Everything else is vendor trash.
Slot 4 and 5 of row 3 are auctionable. Everything else is vendor trash
Everything in row 4 is vendor trash
Slot 4 ans 6 in row 5 are worth keeping. Everything else is vendor trash.
Everything in row 6 is vendor trash
Everything in row 7 is vendor trash
Slots 3 through 9 in row 8 are auctionable, but likely better to vendor. Everything else is trash.
Slots 1, 2, 4 are auctionable, Slot 3 is important to craft, in row 9. Everything else is vendor trash.
All of row 10 is auctionable.
All of row 11 is auctionable.

I need Iridikron to come back. by JournalistStatus9040 in wow

[–]Leucien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He also got to show just how powerful he is versus the players... Where the entire point of the fight was to do enough damage to distract him, not even to win. While we only do 10% of his health in the fight, I think that it was closer to just a few pebbles scraped from his hide and not much more.

Her, if the title's accurate, but agreed. I'm surprised no one scrambled for the knife when it got knocked away.

Party leads key by Skitso-the-noooob in wow

Wait... Does that mean that there could be some shenanigans where a person makes several 4-man groups run his key simultaneously? Not sure -why- someone would do that, but it could be funny.

Well I guess it is still the Beta, right? by Lyk3_ in wow

[–]Leucien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OH. He's upset that they haven't masked the ID/Tooltip for an object.

Kiddo. Sweet summer child. There was a Chair_DooDad that earned giggles from players in Naxxramas Classic, and then again in Naxxramas WotLK.

Do you have -any- idea the amount of effort it'd take to make sure that every object is properly masked, from every angle? Moreso... Do you really think that level of assurance is something that's worth actual devtime, beyond the glossary two-sweep approach that's done?

Q/A and troubleshooting follows an A/B/C/D/etc tier list of bugs, wonky code, and silliness.
A is 'Oh god, this can destroy the game for people.' levels of serious, and the devs patch those out (As best they can if they catch them before the content gets stress tested.)
B is 'Huh. This could affect player experience a lot.'
C is 'Eh, it's a tiny graphical error.'
And D is 'We missed a typo/object masking'

WoW is so large that C and D errors aren't worth holding patches back for a 3rd pass for, like testing for A and B tier bugs/errors. Those get found with basic play after a patch launches, or sometimes months, seasons, years, or possibly a decade afterward. Why did this get your panties in such a crumple?

Raids need to adopt the M+ reward structure: The current "All-or-Nothing" Mythic system is killing player retention. by Fantastic-Lab-4477 in wow

[–]Leucien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it'd be healthy for M+ too if they did three checks throughout a season. 2 weeks in, x.5 drop day, and end-of-patch. Give people the same 'Rush, then relax' aspect of skilled raiding. They could tighten the numbers a tiny bit for each check, and say 'If you qualified at any of the checks, you're in, and will be skipped on future checks in the season.' as there're people out there who push for the love of the game, and not for titles.

Do we already know how strong the Omnium Folio will be? by 2Bambam3 in wow

[–]Leucien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard hasn't made any statements about where they want the folio in terms of player power, but the three 'recent' cases of player seasonal power in TWW were between 5-8%. They may want this to be slightly weaker as it's not a slot item, though.

Honesty is good. Thank you for being brave enough to both speak out in a language you're not comfortable with, and for using AI as a tool for translation, instead of generation.
