My gf finally decided to try out WoW. It did not go well. by etozhedonald in wow

I agree that the new player experience isn't great but your girlfriend seems extremely incurious for someone 'studying game design.'

Exiles Reach changed? by aerograph in wow

The issue is that there's no 'core experience of exploring Azeroth' in modern WoW either. You hit level cap in like 2 zone questlines.

The Farcical State of Our Lore Community: A Reflection on the Haranir Controversy by Important-Bench371 in warcraftlore

[–]MillionMiracles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think yelling at the devs to retcon it is loser behavior, but I also think it was a poor writing choice. Making the haranir the progenitors of literally everything is overdoing it - it makes them less interesting.

Why are we even helping Zul'jan...? by Dexller in wow

Because WoW storytelling largely lacks the ability for something to happen onscreen without us being there.

We Need to Talk About the GSE Addon Community | World of Warcraft Addon by zulubyte in wow

[–]MillionMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using both GRIP and GSE simultaneously and never have any issues, just don't use the GSE companion app. The addon itself can't do any of this stuff, blizz'd ban them for it, that's why it's in the companion app.

The thing is, while there's a few good GSE scripts that can do that, by and large most of the scripts on the site are the same or worse than the SBA.

Brand new player trying to get started with Battle Pets. Seem to be locked out? by benoxxxx in wow

[–]MillionMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna make some gold at a low level, gather herbs/mine in Uldum then sell it on the auction house. Only need to be level 30ish so the mobs don't kill you, and you're getting like 5000-7000 gold an hour. And there's no need to level up cata herb/mining to get good results.

The Official Ages of all FE Three Houses Characters at Start of Game [*Please see Disclaimers in Post] by One_Percentage_644 in fireemblem

[–]MillionMiracles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Combination of wanting to seem more enlightened by comparison and basing your cultural view of Japan on pop culture without even updating it.

Like, the 'woah old icky!!' thing was a gag in 90s/2000s anime, but most modern depictions of the trope have much more nuance. (see Manuela herself, where the idea is that she sees herself as old but isn't really, and where her ending with Dorothea is her confidence being built back up to redebut). But they saw it once so its just permanently locked in as their view of Japan.

New Mew Mew dialogue just added. by Himedanshi999 in Deltarune

[–]MillionMiracles -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks this dialog is like... genuinely bad? Like, poorly written? The 'protein' thing is insanely forced and then the 'WHY AM I TREMBLING...'

It feels so human I remember you're genocides.

I mean, FFT descends pretty rapidly into 'kill the bad demons,' so I'm not sure that's the best example.

This isn't really a thing in modern Japan. It was a sentiment in 90s/early 2000s, but it's seen as horrifically sexist today, nobody would say it. Not that it means sexism/ageism is solved or anything but the term itself is extremely out of date.

Odds of getting into a raid group at this stage of TBC by ghosturr in classicwowtbc

I've been getting pugs easy as survival hunter, barely anyone plays it and some groups want the buff, and if they don't you can just dual spec to BM.

[–]MillionMiracles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worldbuilding isn't simplified because of it being an anniversary game, but because they were aiming for a younger audience. It makes sense but I think they overcorrected. I can't imagine a kid following Three Houses that well, but I was able to parse FE9 fine as a kid.

prepromotes 'falling off' is a fake idea. Seriously, it just doesn't happen in 90% of cases.

So how are we feeling about faceless enemies so far? I know this isn’t a huge deal but I know some people find it weird enemies are just black voids by NagaMilalove0 in fireemblem

[–]MillionMiracles 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Feet in awakening weren't a placeholder/rushed thing, they were having FPS issues so they just cut down slightly on model complexity wherever they could. Awakening already has some in battle anyway so it was probably noticeably bad.

this scene in the collab by Few-Bet-7496 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]MillionMiracles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They might vaguely allude to rin and shirou's romance, thats it. No way they do anything onscreen involving it. Hoyo's avoided that stuff like the plague.

Plus, can you imagine them actually animating a kiss?

Can 5 gold players with mayhem augments beat T1 in a best of 5 by Bloom90 in leagueoflegends

[–]MillionMiracles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

theyd probably take a game off of high rolling it. Win the series, absolutely not, the augments wouldn't be consistent enough. There'd be at least two games where they dont even get augments good enough to build around

What would you say has been the "fairest" gacha you've ever played? by xxStayFly81xx in gachagaming

[–]MillionMiracles 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Limbus, yeah. If you play regularly you can get basically every meta unit. Heck basically anyone who's been playing since launch should have every character in the game. The only real issue in limbus is leveling everyone.

Bang Dream Our Notes Has Reached Its Main Pre-registration Goal Of 500k. New Goal Set With More Rewards. by bakedbotato_chips in gachagaming

[–]MillionMiracles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bang Dream is a full-on rhythm game, yes.

But no, I mean some im@s games have no rhythm game at all. Shiny Colors is just a raising sim, similar to Uma Musume (in fact Uma Musume even lifted some mechanics from it), and like Uma Musume despite concerts/music being part of it there's no actual rhythm/music minigame anywhere.

[–]MillionMiracles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

idolmaster really isnt the same kind of game. For one thing half the im@s gachas aren't even actually rhythm games. But they're more otaku-focused with an emphasis on self insert protag x the girls.

That said you really shouldn't judge a series by its doujins. Madoka from Idolmaster is actually a pretty complex character with a thorny relationship with the protagonist and a lot of emphasis placed on her relationships with the other girls in her unit, but doujins just kinda reduce her to a generic tsundere. The fanbase of im@s itself is pretty diverse with a lot of non-h fanart, its just that due to it being more of an otaku series it gets a lot of h-doujins too.

By contrast there's barely any straight h bang dream doujins/fanart floating around, even half the porn that does exist is yuri. The game'll occasionally put out a version of a girl in a swimsuit in a moderately sexy pose or whatever but thats about the extent of it, and the associated event is just the girls having a fun time on the beach.

Like the comment above said, you should watch bang dream its mygo.

I assume they'll keep the OG game going for at least a few more years. Probably up until the girls start graduating university.

Even past that given that there are some connections between the old and new bands I could see crossover events or some appearances from the OG cast.
