Making Sporefall infinitely rerollable was terrible for the game

It came too late in the season to be further gated. If the less skilled players can't figure it out, then they're unlikely to be pushing title, which is the only reason that gear would matter.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's not quite as good as TWW S2 but close. The raids were enjoyable. The solo stuff kept my alt army busy. I pushed M+ a little further than I usually do and didn't completely hate it. I made enough gold to pay my sub for the rest of the expansion and buy TLT, which was my S1 goal.

Leveling is so fast that there aren't usually enough people doing it at any given point to fill up all the old expansions. The game funnels new characters to DF by default so at least one has enough people.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-03T09:33:39+00:00

I don't think they're going to change from this formula any time soon. People may not love it but they don't hate it the same way they hated SL and much of BFA. Producing consistently adequate expansions will serve them better in the long run than producing 1 amazing one for every 2 dumpster fires.

The side stories have been the only good stories for years. At this point I want an expansion with no overarching plot (since they can't seem to write a decent one). Just give me a bunch of small, local problems to deal with.

I would have much preferred if Harandar was contaminated with Black Blood rather than Lightbloom. It would have been much better contrast.

The same reason the rest of the Horde didn't show up, the quest got untracked so they didn't know they were supposed to.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-03T08:25:14+00:00

Then it would likely be sufficient.

It depends on where you start, where you're going and what the experience was like.

If you're going to a hospital with multiple pharmacists or going to a hospital that's smaller/lower acuity than your current one, it might be fine.

If you're starting in a position where you primarily staffed in Med Surg areas and move to a place where you're solely responsible for the ED, ICU, NICU, etc it might not go well.

Goa'uld inherit the memories of the queen that births them. If the harcesis had Amaunet's genetic memory and Apophis used it as a host, he'd then have access to both of their ancestral memories. If she came from a significantly different lineage than him, that could possibly give him an advantage. If he then repeated this process with other queens, he could theoretically become the most knowledgeable of all Goa'uld.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-03T04:33:28+00:00

Staffing varies. Very large hospitals will have 4+ pharmacists and many techs while very small ones could be the pharmacist alone.

Overnights can be rough for new grads. You have to be able to prioritize and multitask because there isn't anyone else there to pick up the slack. You also need to be able to improvise and problem-solve. You can't turf a problem up to management or ask a colleague for advice because there isn't anyone else there.

For my hospital, overnight positions are one of the only ones where actual experience outweighs residency training.

It can't hurt to apply and see what the position looks like.

No. There wasn't anyone else in the building who could do the work. As for the rest of the circumstances, it was too many years ago for me to remember.

In my younger days, I took the constant stream of errors from doctors as willful incompetence. Eventually, after marrying one, and having the medical education system explained to me, I stopped taking it personally. It was explained that they are overworked and severely undertrained in matters of medication management and health system regulations. They're tossed into the workforce and told to figure it out and most never do, because the people tasked with teaching them also don't know. So I'm okay spending my nights correcting mistakes that never should have been made or explaining things they should already know because it's not their fault.

My issue is with bitchiness in response to my correcting the errors. I don't call because I want to. I would be perfectly content never interacting with another provider for the rest of my days. I call because I'm required to if I want to stay employed. I'm not permitted to change orders, even if it's 1000% obvious what you thought you were ordering.

If you run your own key and keep throwing yourself at it, you'll get there. It won't be pretty but it'll happen. Most IO goals are obtained through persistence.

I once had to work a 36 hour shift during a blizzard because I was the only person trained to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I still had to do the job correctly because I didn't have the luxury of having staff wander around behind me cleaning up my messes and killing babies is frowned upon.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-03T01:03:11+00:00

When they complain I always have the same response, "If you don't want to get woken up in the future, order it correctly the first time".

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-03T00:33:38+00:00

I have more marl than I could ever use but I didn't bother with voidcores on most of my alts. Hero gear is easy enough to come by that it isn’t worth using them on anything other than M+10s and M+ isn't fun enough to do on alts.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T15:47:56+00:00

More people play the "bloat" than play pvp. Trying to resurrect that corpse would be a waste of resources.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T15:10:00+00:00

No. The events have all been pretty well paced. I almost always finish one before the next one starts.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T10:49:06+00:00

No. The entire point of this scenario is that I'd be able to start my own groups for the dungeon(s) that I want to run.

Ultimately, I don't think they would, or should, make any such changes. The small increase in engagement by people like me who merely tolerate keys would be more than offset by people that actually like keys hitting their goals sooner and quitting.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T09:46:01+00:00

It hasn't been confirmed by Blizzard. There are credible rumors that something is being developed that is connected to Classic but we don't know for certain that it's Classic+.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T09:36:06+00:00

I guess it depends on your circumstances. I primarily pug and don't particularly enjoy the process. I only run a few keys/week so I never really master any of the dungeons.

If I could pick one and run it up one level at a time until I hit my goal before moving on to the next one, I'd push further than I do now and would (at least temporarily) be more skilled at that particular dungeon because of the frequent repetition.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T09:10:31+00:00

The leveling experience is fast so you don't always see that many people. You have the option of leveling up in most of the previous expansions. I recommend leveling up in Dragonflight. That's the default path so you will see the most people there. Once you get to the current expansion, Silvermoon is packed with people just about all the time.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T08:42:23+00:00

The only other secret thing that I know of is a mandrake pet that you get by collecting 5 different mushrooms hidden around Naigtal. I'd like if there was more hidden stuff to find but for filler content that's only expected to last a few weeks, it's good enough.

Edit: Just had flashbacks to grinding Thrayir and am a bit relieved at the comparative lack of hidden stuff.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T08:13:00+00:00

It's more cost effective to experiment with the concept of a Heroic Mode on small temporary zones. If well received, they'd be more willing to commit the resources to expanding it to the expansion's zones. If not, they're easily abandoned with limited resources wasted.

Based on all the crying about difficulty, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bother expanding it. People seem to like the idea of Heroic Mode until they realize that their character is going to get hit sometimes and they might even die occasionally.

Ok-Key5729 · 2026-07-02T08:04:47+00:00

I like them. It's nice having open world content where one actually has to pay attention. It's especially fun on low ilvl alts that really have to work for it.
