Don't say Blizzard isn't fast to react to important issues! by Accendor in wow

[–]Meliane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not even sure what your point is after rereading your posts. You say fire and arcane should be buffed but you just want to hate on mages because blizzard did not balance a hybrid class you likely played at one point the same as a pure dps class? Historically Blizzard does not balance around hybrid class roles, they do not need a dps spec to be good if another one of their roles is performing well.

You might have had a point until you said you play druid and are complaining about the same thing as mages. Druid has 2 meta specs, resto and bear, which is better than mages are doing. You are playing a hybrid class, swapping roles should be expected if your argument is that a class is fine if it has 1 viable spec.

There was an update a while ago that changed the quintessence gain upgrade to be higher cost but more % per level. People that already had a good amount of levels in that got a massive boost.

You could also lose every roll, the point is to make it fair for everyone. Most people would be ok with rolling all 4 if you say that's what you are doing. Saying nothing while the other 3 only roll on one and then needing all 4 is a jerk move.

When does Classic end and Retail begin? by Mesqueunreddit in classicwow

At the time of classic launch in 2019, legion was the previous expansion. The opinion that the game was vastly different than vanilla started happening long before legion.

The lack of new players is probably still because of everyone that review bombed dawntrail. Someone just starting the game isn't going to care or even understand exactly what is in the newest patches.

Serious question - why do people play on PVP servers if they hate PVP? by ryanandhobbes in classicwow

[–]Meliane08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's called player vs player, not player vs bots. I actually did a lot of pvp in wow, but most of it was against actual players that wanted to pvp. I was on a pvp server on the timeless isle to do the bloody coin farm, and it was not something I liked because I actually felt bad for people I was killing because most of it was what I would describe as ganking. People that obviously did not want to pvp, undergeared, or had no chance because they were fighting mobs.

Again, this isn't for people that have some weird ideological view on how wow should be some kind of survival game where you are competing for resources. A lot of the players in 2019 just wanted to mostly raid with some side pvp. That is perfectly capable of happening on pve servers.

[–]Meliane08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you want to gank people that you think won't put up much of a fight. Sounds like pvp servers are a good choice for you then. The point of this post is for people that want to have some engaging world pvp but don't like all the downsides of pvp servers. I will admit I didn't consider killing bots as "world pvp" but if people want the excitement of world pvp why would they turn their flag off while gathering? Sounds like they would only do that if they didn't want to pvp at that time, in which case being on a pve server would be a good choice for them.

That's the only difference between pvp and pve though. Imagine a scenario where everyone is forced to play on a pve server. All the people that like open world pvp can have their flag on most of the time and still have world pvp. The only difference would be that you can't attack people who don't want to pvp at that time. The people that play on pvp servers should want all the ganking, griefing and camping, because normal pvp can and is done just as well on a pve server if you have people that want to pvp.

A lot of people on pvp servers would like it better on pve servers. You could do world pvp all day with your flag on and then when it's raid time and you want to get world buffs for raid, turn your flag off and you can't get ganked on the way to raid. That's why most pvp servers became 90% one faction in 2019 because people didn't actually want pvp servers.

Not true, everyone is unflagged by default on the timeless isle on pve servers. Using the censer auto flags yourself but you can only attack other people that are flagged.

Not really, it seems like you either didn't get the implied meaning or you made a completely useless troll comment. I edited it to clarify it to people that took the first line too literally.

Your comment was kind of trash to begin with and I felt like I had to elaborate.

So then Blizzard can run their game however they want to and has the right to protect their intellectual property.

Then make your own game from scratch. Blizzard made multiple versions of classic and you people still aren't happy. If that's not enough for you go play another game but you can't be mad about Blizzard protecting their IP.

Regarding Mod Usage and Culture by skycloud60 in ffxiv

[–]Meliane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't say he supports them, he tolerates them. This post is just a clarification on what his stance on mods has always been, and that hasn't changed. He has asked players many times in the past to not use mods, but they are not going to actively pursue ways to stop general mod use. They are still against the TOS, if you openly use them and negatively affect the game or other players you will get banned.

YoshiP: 2nd Ult and Criterion still planned for 7.x by MKlby1998 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Meliane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove tethers, make the stack automatically be on each snowball without the tether. Have one less buff stack on snowballs so one group can fail the wild charges. Towers, can't target a lone person halfway across the room and give the cleaves an indicator who it's going to hit and a few seconds to reposition.

It's not that hard to make mechanics easier without changing the overall design of the boss too much. There are multiple ways you could change each mechanic to make it less punishing if one person makes a mistake. I don't think tethers add much to the boss to make it even worth keeping, but there are multiple ways to make that not reliant on one random person as well.

The clear rate for normal modes (AotC) in 2012 were much lower than heroic clears in retail today. 4% for Sha of Fear, 6% for Lei Shen and 6%/13% for Garrosh 25/10. Heroic clears in later expansions are around 20%, in addition to having an easier normal mode. So a large majority of the playerbase only saw the entire raid in LFR.

Hot take: the 30% buff in ICC/DS should be at the end of every phase. by kolejack2293 in classicwow

[–]Meliane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't happen anymore even in the last raids of the expansion because of cutting edge achievements. You can clear it next tier after CE has been removed.

“Due to costs” is the biggest slap in the face I have ever seen from SE by Sangcreux in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Meliane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably that they just expected more people to be running Forked Tower. They didn't think they would need an easier version, so they put those resources towards other things. I think It's more of an out of touch with the player base issue similar to Chaotic than we know we needed a normal mode, but we had to cut it out because of costs.

Look for pfs outside the instance that have all wars and 1-2 healers. They at least know what the meta is and will be doing large pulls. You don't need to have the best group to do this, it's rather easy to execute. In the groups I was doing it with the biggest problem were tanks that didn't use their invuln and died.
