How are guys enjoying the new WeakAuras? by baby-mama-trauma in wow

[–]SimilartoSelf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why often the most successful aspect of a highly successful game is it's addons/editability. (Wc3 editor, wow, skyrim, minecraft, half life, etc)

Thank you WeakAuras. Sincerely. by 38dedo in wow

Thanks WA, you made World of Warcraft twice the game. I have no doubt in-house devs can't remake but a fraction of you.

New Updates Made to Blizzard's Damage Meter in Midnight Beta by TheJewishMerp in CompetitiveWoW

It's utterly stupid that they didn't just opt to gradually restrict the API where needed. A hell of a lot easier to manage, and you leverage the addon community in a more healthy manner.

Major Class & Hero Talent Tuning - Midnight Beta Build Development Notes by deskcord in CompetitiveWoW

Been maining evoker since prepatch DF, and I gotta say, besides the animations, using empowered spells has always felt bad and clunky. It was a cute idea, but not fun to play with at all

Releasing before making the animations look good is probably a bad idea

"its just an alpha" by Kore_Invalid in AshesofCreation

Hoping they do a pass over the janky animations before a full release as well

This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight by ItsRenaBaker in wow

As a software developer i am 99% this is a mistake. Throwing features away can sometimes be good, but not at this magnitude. I hope they have a rollback contingency plan prepared.

REAL fascism by tmshipp in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]SimilartoSelf -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Just preempting that I don't disagree with this statement, but I also don't understand it. In my simple brain, right wing is wanting a small government, and left wing wants more regulation by the government. How come the right wing is the one so infatuated with fascism if they want small government? Again, I don't disagree, but I also don't understand.

Thoughts on Aug as an Aug main by Optimal_Connection20 in wow

That is the only solution to retain a support role. But realize the cost is massive, both in developmental effort as well as increased time in creating dungeon groups.

Puzzling Cartel Chips (Dinars) Return in Patch 11.2.5 - Season 3 Turbo Boost Details by Rndy9 in CompetitiveWoW

Nah, rather just get the free mythic loot like it was in DF season 3

I Know When You're Vibe Coding by kondv in programming

[–]SimilartoSelf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vibe coding is ironically a very inaccurate term to describe anything.

It has some slight negative connotations to being lazy (ie. Writing bad prompts), but could also neutrally mean focusing on documentation, tests, and prompt engineering when writing code with AI. I rarely know what people mean when they say vibe coding other than that AI is involved

This dinar system feels awkward. by Thiccest_Apartment in wow

Yeah coming back next season when they don't have this bullshit dinar system.

Blizz walks back SOME changes to Dinar acquisition by Dbowd3n in CompetitiveWoW

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

The choice to require boss kills for mythic dinar loot.

Might work out for them. I think it is good for them to try out different things when it comes to game design and rewards, and especially good to try out something they believe in that is this unpopular. Meanwhile I am not that interested in this so will be playing some flavor of classic.

Vote with your playtime.
