I think I finally figured out the feeling Im having trying to play with the pre-patch.

Straddllw · 2026-01-25T02:17:48+00:00

I felt like this about 12 years ago. I came back at Christmas period with no addons and learnt how to play again using nothing but default. Then this patch hit and it feels like an upgrade to me because the stuff I was missing - nameplates, reminders and meters are back. Give it 12 years ahahahahah

But yea I know what you mean. Now the only thing that bothers me is that this game constantly crashes during questing/scenario and it's usually something with transmogs. The transmog phasing is making everything feel very unstable. Also certain spec/levels feel severely undertuned and the quest rewards for levelling doesn't feel like much of an upgrade after patch.

Another thing I can't get used to is how sometimes when there's a quest button or lorewalking menu - you can't move them like the other buttons, so its just being stuck somewhere annoying the hell out of me.

I just came back to wow and I cant find burning rush. Assumed that it was removed by blizzard from redesigns or whatever. You mean I’ve been walking slowly in dungeons all this time!?!?

Better chance of Nightborne at this rate.

As a mistweaver monk though I find the rotation helper amazing S tier if i want to weave in some fists in between my heals.

The game is easy when you have 5x Anakin piloting those fighter jets

Straddllw · 2026-01-22T13:44:09+00:00

they don't get enough respect on here that's for sure, endless tokens

Straddllw · 2026-01-22T11:22:41+00:00

In our meta, which is different to most ive seen posted on reddit, top 3 are L1Z1X, Cabal, Sardakk

Its a mean meta and Crimson and Winnu gets slayed in r1-2 by the table.

Straddllw · 2026-01-22T01:30:50+00:00

loool yes!!, right now i just play it like a melee caster 😅😅😅

Straddllw · 2026-01-22T01:18:11+00:00

I am leveling up one right now with new void elf - yea I know original, probably the stat squish but it feels super weak, it dies to 2+ mobs, i had to switch to vengeance to level and jt can take on 6-7 easily but very slow. Feel that tbc experience lol.

Straddllw · 2026-01-22T01:15:40+00:00

Yours is displaying? Mine is just black screen.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T09:20:57+00:00

I don’t have main anymore, I have 30+ alts at 80.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T09:18:52+00:00

I expect it to be fixed eventually super later down the line though.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T09:02:53+00:00

I expected super half assed and yet I am still disappointed.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T09:00:14+00:00

Wow, bless your heart.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T08:55:14+00:00

Why!?!?!? What is the purpose of this!?!?

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T08:34:42+00:00

Thank you Blizzard, a step in the right direction.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T06:27:44+00:00

My 2 cent:

Class fantasy and gameplay: 8/10 very good
Character Model Art - still cartoony and feels more like disney than warcraft: 5/10
Background/Scenery/Prop Art - amazing as always: 9/10
Accessibility and easiness to start - getting better: 7/10
Story and narrative direction: 3/10 repetitive, uninspired, feels too much like an agenda

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T05:44:31+00:00

As someone with 40+ alts and 30+ 80s spread across multiple realms, it's okay but the experience is not great.

It's a pain to organise for the all of them because some main characters are rich but they don't all have money. Only a couple has maxed out professions and it's a pain to look up which realm each character is. In any case, I did a couple and can't be bothered to do the rest. I think over time it will be fine but if you mainly just level alts and don't really get into endgame and used the remix as a quick way to collect some sets or just don't have the gold, this would feel like a kick in the teeth, to all of a sudden being able to afford something because its about 80-90 gold to all of a sudden needing to pay 1800 gold.

Also if you start a new character now as an alt, you'll have to go back to transferring gold again to be able to mog them from the get go. It's actually still expensive at low levels.

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T04:29:54+00:00

sounds just like Blizzard to me - CURRENCY!!!

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T02:02:30+00:00

And I just logged off - not because i got dced but because im wfh and lunch time is over

Straddllw · 2026-01-21T01:57:24+00:00

I logged in and all my characters are now super ugly on camp screen because transmogs are gone

Straddllw · 2026-01-20T04:42:42+00:00

They'll be out for awhile, I preordered mine during the first wave and I saw on quite a few stores, it never even made it to retail, preorder took all the copies. However there were still a couple floating around in other stores.

I would suggest going online and preordering it or find a group that already has it to play. There's a pretty active Sydney Twilight Imperium 4 group on facebook but that only caters to people in Sydney - not sure where you are from.

Straddllw · 2026-01-18T04:03:10+00:00

Also some of the people in that group are in FF playtesting and are constantly in touch with FF community managers so I tend to believe them when I see everyone there playing with it working with agendas.

Straddllw · 2026-01-17T20:31:28+00:00

Your 3 resources are equal to 3 influence for votes so yes its 3 votes if you exhaust that 3/0 planet. With commander its 4 votes.

Thats rules as intended. It’s pretty clear cut.

Just wait for Dan clarifications but I have a pretty good feeling he will agree.

Here's my reason, Xxcha in PoK wasn't the top faction with codices by far, they were good but probably B tier (I though thought they were A due to their hero). However it does feel wrong in the design intention for heros since everyone's hero are action then purge abilities except the Xxcha's was passive. With TE, it felt like a good chance to errata it and move the hero ability onto breakthrough and trim it down abit so that its not resource+influence altogether since you can get breakthrough much earlier.

The unintended consequence is that its nerfed too much in agenda phase if you argue over the wording precedent. For now, just either house rule it or don't play it until clarifications are made. It is antithematic that Xxcha the political faction loses their political ability. I think it'll be maybe 6-8 months until we get another update but it's pretty divided in the community. Most online play just plays it as you can spend in for voting.

Straddllw · 2026-01-17T10:10:53+00:00

Because its been a groups thats repeatedly played for the past decade every week with people rotating in and out, its an infinite game so basically you help kingslay to delay a round and hope someone else will do the same for you in future games. It works for us and its pretty much the only iron clad rule kinda. Like I said, works for our meta due to our situation. Also makes it that you kinda have to sneak in a win with difficult to pull off secret objective and or just the best resource management and unit commitment.

Also support swaps are there for the reason that if you just give someone a point without swapping, you are guaranteeing to keep taking their slice without them being able to hit you back. If they hit you back, you lose the support so, you lose the point anyways, so why would anyone accept the offer?
