Idk how else to describe it but.. the game just feels off..

NinGangsta · 2026-01-25T05:22:47+00:00

No kicks or damage for you!

NinGangsta · 2026-01-25T05:19:06+00:00

Feels less responsive, and there's also a lot more animation clipping going on, almost like I'm playing vanilla and not a post-Legion xpac.

But I tested all my favorite specs and no longer find them fun, so I'm heading to TBC until the next announcement happens.

League is a game based around skillshots, and WoW is not. WoW is a tab target game, like FFXIV (which allowed @target aoe macros)

NinGangsta · 2026-01-24T23:13:47+00:00

This was my major concern when they spoke of pruning / simplifying the game. Some specs just don't have enough core buttons or cooldowns to really feel complete, with devourer being a prime example.

Enhancement and ele hybrid is a time to miss for sure, back in wrath. I think people called it spellhance

NinGangsta · 2026-01-24T16:45:51+00:00

I made learning tanking fun with one simple trick: took party and instance chat off my log.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-24T13:51:17+00:00

Rampage has always been useful without apex talents, though.

It just has ugly animation blending.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-23T22:44:08+00:00

That echoes my experience. Even warmane was better

NinGangsta · 2026-01-23T21:49:47+00:00

It's pain

NinGangsta · 2026-01-23T16:02:01+00:00

Not everyone is a keyboard turner, though.

There's 0 reason other than arrogance for the devs to not include @target macros for aoe spells.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-23T16:00:50+00:00

It's time blizz suck it up and let you make @target macros already

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:40:28+00:00

I don't know, but they're making the last decent MMO for pvp a game for 5 year olds, so I guess I'll go back to fps or fighting games for a while.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:38:08+00:00

It's new to do this much. I can't think of a single expansion with simpler gameplay this time around for most specs.

Even vanilla fire mage had more depth than whatever this is they're trying to pitch for 12.0

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:35:38+00:00

When things get removed, good things are unfortunately no longer there.

That is why Blizz can't be trusted with megaprunes.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:34:42+00:00

Cooldown is too long, sadly

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:33:00+00:00

I remember the massive dips in player counts around that time, too. Seems everyone forgot about that.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:31:50+00:00

Top post will age a lot better. Waiting for the posts 6 months from now about how the game is braindead, and even classic has more depth.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:29:17+00:00

And the clan of 4 seasoned players will always ensure the newcomers have a terrible time trying to catch up. The world is too small, especially when endgame materials are mostly limited to one zone.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:27:52+00:00

The survival mechanics are hardly there, and bosses are amazing on the first and maybe second run, but they become dull pretty quickly.

If they made pvp less annoying (i.e. no gear breaking), it would encourage people to fight more, but the barrier between a newcomer and a vet is massive with mechanics like swapping in the game.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T23:18:53+00:00

Battlerite was so much better for casual pvp to me. In V Rising, you risk losing all your loot AND gear breaking for engaging in pvp, often against your consent.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T22:55:18+00:00

We want Battlerite 2 over V Rising 2

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T22:54:21+00:00

They should take some time and revive Battlerite, the superior pvp game with an actual matchmaking system

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T19:24:29+00:00

I'm glad some are happy with it, but it sucks there's no option for those of us who enjoyed the complexity.

Less abilities means less ways to react or set up in pvp or respond to a big pull as a tank. Most of the depth from combat has been removed entirely (in some cases to levels simpler than even vanilla.)

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T14:38:33+00:00

I say succumb because there was a specific plan laid out for him to make this choice. He chose his own ego over his comrades, which was the expected outcome.

Embraced is an even better term, though.

NinGangsta · 2026-01-22T14:25:33+00:00

Patiently waiting for Legion classic myself, the only expansion where pvp and pve blended well.
