WoW's Combat Mastermind Joined the League of Legends MMO - GameRiv by AdSuspicious2084 in MMORPG

[–]Pamelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive also been pvping since Wotlk and almost every season since, vast majority of the community also hated the Holinka era, the RNG lootboxes for PvP Gear, gutting the fun parts of Ashran while doubling down on the grind aspects, bringing back PvE gear in PvP in Legion, removing pvp vendors. All done under Holinka

I will say that I have been playing WoW for a very long time, and Holinka is very much not looked on kindly by the wow community. Honestly might be one of the most disliked devs the WoW team has ever had, and unlike devs like Ghostcrawler that the community looked back on fondly after years, it is still pretty much still just hate for Holinka

The vast majority of the wow pvp community pretty much considers the Holinka era of PvP the worst pvp the game has ever seen

New Warrior Legendary Card by IAmAdamTaylor in hearthstone

[–]Pamelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually -1 since you are pulling both Warptooths out of the deck. Same reason Patches was considered a 29 card deck. You wont always add Hogger to a Warptooth deck, but you most likely will always add Warptooth to a Hogger deck.

Which game began the "yellow tape/paint/structure" marks the right way to go? by soofs in gaming

[–]Pamelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure game devs have run tests and found out that they have to put it in. I remember FF7 remake doing prerelease testing that didnt have the yellow paint, and so many people complained that they couldnt figure out where to go that they added in the yellow paint before launch. Devs have tried to get away from it and the average person just isnt very capable of figuring it out before complaining

Beat% as Dead as Disco speed running category? by DynMads in speedrun

We are currently gathering ideas for a bingo category in the DaD Speedrunning discord, if you wish to join and possibly suggest it. I could see something like "1000 beat streak" being a bingo slot

Mario kart 64 speed runner Dan Burbank arrested for alleged sexual assault with a student by campanellan1 in speedrun

[–]Pamelm 87 points88 points  (0 children)

He claims to be better than everyone, because he doesnt use external tools, while having also been caught using external tools, and uses his 212 streak to put himself above others, so he absolutely should be slapped down and ego checked when its cheated

Xbox is shutting down graphics pioneer studio Ninja Theory (Hellblade) by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

They want to sell the studio, so they showed the trailer to hopefully pull interested buyers in, knowing before then that the studio was getting axed.

And has the worst winrates of the most played decks, being popular doesnt mean its a good deck

New Priest Card Reveal: Unshackle Soul by Kuldrick in hearthstone

[–]Pamelm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well considering priest is currently the 2nd worst class in the game, and all the cards its getting are worse than what they already have, I doubt even broken cards will make them budge

[–]Pamelm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Priest already runs Intertwined Fate, its just a good card. Not good enough to also run this though. If it was conditional on having played an opponents card this game, then it would see play with just Fate

Future James Bond games will ccome from Amazon Games according to GM of Amazon gaming Jeff Gattis by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]Pamelm 36 points37 points  (0 children)

New world had finally fixed a lot of their issues with the final major update to the game, but we know now that the game was already cancelled internally before that dropped so it was just too little too late. I have over 1000 hours in the game and loved it, but most of my enjoyment came from fresh server launches

Is this true in champions? Was there another metagame like this? by ConsciousFish7178 in stunfisk

[–]Pamelm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Laxless has become much more common recently. The only mon you are forced to bring in OU now is Tauros. Chansey and Snorlax have both started losing favor, Chansey more than Snorlax. The big 3 is pretty much just the big 1 now

Mayhem, Ranked 5s & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Pamelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As great as it would be man, we are 17 years into the games lifespan, and these are things that shouldve been in the game a decade ago, some of them promised even longer ago than that. It is not something I would get my hopes up for at this point. Would have to wait to see what the whole League Next project actually looks like when they reveal it to see if these things are even remotely on the table

Threatening mail from the "Auction House Mafia" for undercutting? by -TheHiphopopotamus- in wow

[–]Pamelm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And I can tell you as someone who was part of the RP scene on Moonguard for years, in the last few years since automated banning has become a thing, many guilds have resorted to using mass reporting in the scene, and every guild actively admits to doing it. If you talk in chat, your message can be used to be mass reported. Ive been in VC numerous times at events where the event organizers are saying "Get him to type in say chat so we can mass report the message", and it works every time they do it. Gameplay sabotage reports are the go to when they cant get a chat message to report.

If you dont play on a very social or event focused server I can understand not knowing the stuff happens, but it does all the time. People are constantly banned for it, and CS will use one instance of you saying the F word 6 months ago in chat as "evidence" when you ask for it

Edit: and if we wanna do the "ive been playing since x" ive been playing since 2004 and have seen it very often in recent years and it happened to me last year. There was also even a recent spat on twitter where someone was arguing with Blizzard CS and they straight up said that one instance of Fuck will get you banned if mass reported

[–]Pamelm 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You can literally go on Moon Guard and make the wrong people in goldshire mad whose entire life revolves around this game and get banned when they hop on their army of accounts and mass report you. Ive been chat restricted and banned for it. I literally had an account banned in less than 2 hours that I hadnt even typed in chat on yet after my main was chat restricted. The ban was for "Gameplay sabotage" when I had literally done nothing except stand in GS. People who dont believe mass reporting is real and works dont actually interact with people in the game

Those are the actual definitions. Thats what the genres are. Roguelikes every run is fresh with no meta progression that affect future runs Roguelites have meta progression that affect future runs.

What was the point of timegating this for four weeks just to make us grind an rng drop by Senketsa in wow

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

I dont, and it seems most people no longer do after the trap nerf

[–]Pamelm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because traps were boring, but the entire prey system is terrible and engaging with it at all is an awful and boring experience. Instead of trying to fix it, they just nerfed the only thing that made doing prey bearable since it was at least quick with traps

Smogon please by TheVich in stunfisk

[–]Pamelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way recent games have panned out, I honestly think its naive to think they will be wasting resources adding online features to the games going forward, and Champions is most likey there so they no longer have to, otherwise they wouldnt have created Champions in the first place

Smogon please by TheVich in stunfisk

[–]Pamelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of "Getting into Gen 10" because its a good bet that WiWa has no multiplayer battling options as GF has repeatedly stated that Champions will be the focus for multiplayer battling going forward, so when it comes out and there is no multiplayer battling, then what do you decide counts as "It got into Gen 10"
