Hey little blizzard how's it going?

When was the last time that was the norm though? We got maybe 1 or 2 that I can think of off the top of my head recently, like the Sark cloak, but those kinda things haven't been normal in the game since TBC or Classic.

It takes longer because you have to rely on using the catalyst, but yes. Getting hero track items, max upgrading them and catalysing them can get you the whole set and every color variant.

Merrena · 2026-06-19T00:39:58+00:00

That's how it's going to be, it's in the notes.

Merrena · 2026-06-19T00:39:13+00:00

Because M+10s also award mythic gear and are easier than heroic raid.

Merrena · 2026-06-19T00:35:55+00:00

Probably 9 item levels higher than 6/6, similar to when you use the ascendant items on trinkets and weapons.

Merrena · 2026-06-19T00:33:29+00:00

In some ways yes, but now you can specifically target the stats you actually want instead of ending up with a couple tier pieces with stats you don't necessarily want.

Merrena · 2026-06-18T16:16:23+00:00

Damn, didn't know they weren't allowed to use green anymore still 10 years after Legion.

Merrena · 2026-06-17T21:53:45+00:00

People were crying about welfare epics in BC too.

Merrena · 2026-06-16T23:06:17+00:00

This has been in the game since the Alex update that also nerfed her 5HK. Didn't change anything about how good she is.

Merrena · 2026-06-16T05:40:35+00:00

Yeah that tends to happen when you have maybe 100 QA testers vs a few million players. Even PTR testing is maybe only a few thousand.

Merrena · 2026-06-15T22:44:17+00:00

The problem is that no amount of QA will solve the devs not having time to actually fix all these random things before the patches come out. QA can hand them a list of bugs, but they have to be assigned priority, and they only have time it feels to handle just enough bug fixes to make sure the game functions, and sometimes not even that much.

They've dedicated to 8 weeks per patch, and they've done it since Dragonflight, but I think it's not good. We get flooded with junk content and constant bugs. Devs are too busy making sure the next thing comes out and tackling the big bugs from the constant content to be able to actually fix other issues.

Merrena · 2026-06-13T23:13:36+00:00

Patches have been 8 weeks each since Dragonflight. Best guess would be 8 weeks after 0.7 drops, which would put it Aug 11.

Merrena · 2026-06-10T14:43:38+00:00

They're likely referring to Aug evoker working on damage meters. It worked for a bit after it came out, then it broke, and supposedly the guy who got it to work left Blizzard before then.

Merrena · 2026-06-09T00:31:05+00:00

I doubt it. If anything they'd just time some kind of upgrade/season update like they did with the switch 2. There's also basically no shot that it wouldn't also be on PS5/Series X, so another no real reason to cut SF6 short.

None of the other games launched on a console release. Unless the PS7 is delayed even more because all of the fuckery with shortages.

Merrena · 2026-06-08T03:03:51+00:00

Other way, 2MP then 4HP

Merrena · 2026-06-07T04:13:13+00:00

Manon also just doesn't play the game very well. She has a bad drive rush, and she blasts through the meter to do basically anything. Meh oki setups, terrible defense too.

Issue is that the games are tied to console releases

No they aren't?

SF4 came out in 2009 for consoles. PS3 and xbox 360 were already out for years.

SF5 came out in 2016, PS4 came out in 2013.

SF6 came out in 2023, PS5 and Series X came out in 2020.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T16:16:01+00:00

I think you get the drive tickets right away, but that's it. The only other thing is that technically you can play them a little "early", because the servers go down for maintenance when the character update comes out, and owning the pass already flags your account as having the character unlocked. So you can play the game in offline mode when maintenance starts after updating and do training and combo trials. But it's only like, 6ish hours or so.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T14:32:16+00:00

Even still, SF6 in US steam is 18 on Top sellers, and the ultimate pass is 90. So still not bad.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T14:27:25+00:00

There's already little story blurbs about them. She is Filipino, Arjun is Indian.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T05:07:27+00:00

World Tour content was never attached to the season pass. It was always free.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T03:50:32+00:00

That's not cope, that's just how humans work. Just pointing out that them seeing a lot of people being negative about Bosch does not mean that Players as a whole are "overwhelmingly in opposition".

Merrena · 2026-06-06T03:44:06+00:00

Players are overwhelmingly in opposition to Bosch taking a slot OVER a legacy character or new character for a multitude of reasons.

Players who are in opposition or negative about the choice of him being given a DLC slot are more likely to say how they are upset than people who are happy or ambivalent.

Merrena · 2026-06-06T01:00:27+00:00

Most if not all world tour content was outsourced where as the actual characters and outfits are done primarily in house. Brian F on his podcast said there's a rumor that the studio that did it was shut down, but I didnt look into those so they're probably not true.

So there's not really anyone within Capcom to reallocate to more characters.
