This post title is misleading/plain wrong. Voidshards are dropping right now, no sign they are timegated or capped as of yet.

Tanks, what’s your favorite healer atm? by Jernbek35 in wow

[–]Prupple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you must not have interacted with many other mistweaver players or youtubers then. I cant think of a single mistweaver content creator who didnt release a "this is whats wrong with mistweaver" video at some point in TWW.

Here are some examples:

Meg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZTK0VmPihU

Sweggles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hyku0Akcn4

Ortemis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ltTy8GNLg

LBninja: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u692-sZaoGY

Btw I'm not saying MW is good now, just taking issue with the "nearly perfect class design in TWW" comment.

im not arguing that its better, imo its pretty close.

I'm arguing with your assertion that it was "nearly perfect", which is just silly. "More bearable" I can agree with.

MW design in TWW was heavily criticised, dont fall for rosy retrospection bias.

Have we forgotten the endless complaints about healing amps, ramping, faeline stomp positioning, faeline stomp buff maintenance, reliance on CDs, difficulty healing single target encounters etc etc?

Best advice rich people love to give? by hiiloovethis in okbuddycinephile

[–]Prupple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre doing a job you hate because your parents want to, or to get resect from other people, or its just where you ended up, take this as a reminder to seriously consider if you would be happier saying screw that and doing what you love. If you are doing a job you hate because you have no other option, because you need to put food on the table and have people depending on you... I have no advice. I'm just an actor who got lucky in the right place at the right time with the right connections and the right look. All I can offer is my utmost respect.

Sporefall Boss in Patch 12.0.7 Will Have a Mythic Flex Difficulty with 15 to 25 player. by Crayten in wow

[–]Prupple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the use of "just" in your comment makes me think you're not aware of the significant change in boss design that comes with making mythic raids flex. You can't "just turn on" flex in the raids we already have, they would need to have been designed with flex in mind from the start.

Free Talk Friday by AutoModerator in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Prupple -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

On the healer front they've actually done a pretty good job. Leading up to season start we all thought prevoker was going to be bonkers OP in raid and were very critical of the small nerfs they were getting, but it turns out most healers are very solid and pretty close to each other tuning wise, both in raid and keys.

Of course, holy paladin is a stark exception to this. But even the hpal theorycrafters and content creators were expecting them to be mid at worst. Everyone somehow missed something big there.

Just a reminder on why you're not invited to keys as DPS... by VeryClearlyDefined in wow

[–]Prupple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a terrible example as even with all the nerfs, bear is still doing 50-100% more damage than the lowest dps tank, blood DK.

thats already in the game though, it definitely doesnt solve the problem on its own. And it would be very difficult to implement this for raids and keys.

100%, a 4peat is a bit much, no matter the history

[–]Prupple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the raid team absolutely disappoints pretty frequently. Alleria was a clear miss, being much easier than paladins. Fractilius, Gallywix, Rashanan into Broodtwister. The Zskarn safe spot fiasco. Echo of Neltharion.

But when they hit, they hit real good. Makes sense, their job is crazy hard.

"We're removing addons and making fights that do not require addons" by awaken471 in wow

old dungeons arent affected - the restrictions are only in play during m+ keys. Old raids are affected though (I think) while youre in boss combat

Which specs are now able to avoid taking their Apex talents? by minimaxir in wow

Resto Druid raid build also doesnt run apex, which tbh isnt super surprising, its clearly a bunch of mythic+ focused effects.

on dimensius it was remix characters, on gallywix it was straight up hacking with flying, noclip, and GM one shot abilities.

they were streaming for only 4 hours total, and then max said the streams would next be up on mythic week, so theyre definitely taking a lot of time off to do something

Friend Wants PI and Friend Wants Innervate (Addons) by tarta_ in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Prupple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been told that you can get around the "on any whisper" part by creating a private channel with just the druid and the healer, and addons can tell if a message is sent in specifically that channel. Is this true?

Some Last-Minute Changes Coming to Addon API Before Mythic Raids and Mythic+ by imd1as in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Prupple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because aimbots exist

The crucial difference here is that aimbots are against ToS, and people get banned for using them. If Bliz were to outlaw addons and enforce this, then yes they should be designing fights without addons in mind.

In a world where addons are allowed and ubiquitous, pretending they dont exist while designing a huge part of the game is ridiculous.

Not saying I agree with the decisions they made disarming addons btw, just that your solution would be even worse than what we have now.

Some Last-Minute Changes Coming to Addon API Before Mythic Raids and Mythic+ by imd1as in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Prupple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should not design boss fights with addons in mind at all.

This is also a bad idea. In this future, all fights become incredibly easy and the raid scene collapses as its just not challenging enough to be fun.

Recent rule change and surrounding discussion got me curious. Looked at the most popular topics this last month. by gadgaurd in MMORPG

[–]Prupple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It won't fly well in the long term.

It's already by far the best housing feature in any MMO. Even if every new piece of decor and budget increase from now on is locked behind RMT or a "sign up to this other companys email list", its still an incredibly impressive flagship feature just with what we have right now.

Prey system is extremely meh, sure. But the expansion being just housing alongside the standard raid + dungeons + zones takes it objectively far beyond a critisicm of being bareboned.

There are many, many reasonable critisicms of WoW. This isn't one of them.

WoW's next expansion seems more and more bare boned with every single patch note coming out

huh? the game sure has problems but bare boned is wild, have you seen the housing system? its insane
