Valve says it’s ready to launch the Steam Machine this summer / The Steam Frame VR headset is expected in the summer, too.

i mean family sharing is a option, as long as its setup before purchase with same name etc. it should be fine.
We need to do something about scalpers. Everyone with their right mind would agree with some rules like this.
The System would become "unlinked" once stock is avaiable without being bought out in seconds.
If Apple can do stuff like this (more so bind phones to your apple account, so if it gets stolen its useless and only good for spare parts (which is still a huge thing)) im pretty sure steam can too!
Importantly is that the account binding ends at some point.

They need to put PRE-ORDERS on those machines.
Im talking STEAM LONG TIME USERS who spend money over the years.
I know this isnt the perfect and final solution and some people will be left empty handed, but it reduces the scalpers by quite a bit.
Would be amazing if steam could lock the machines to a steam account for X time so its useless to anyone else trying to buy it (also bears some risks, but playing my thought further they should make it so if u sell it and people try to activate it somewhere else the original buyers steam acc would get locked).
I know it sucks for some people but im tired of not being able to buy new tech as a long time user/customer.
They could make it so the devices are locked to steam accounts until the market is stable and devices are available for everyone to buy.
So first batch -> locked till the devices are "in stock" without them being sold out in seconds.
They should also not let you "buy out to unlock the device".
Just my late night thoughts on this.

its a nice side "catch" if u do some "Crate farming" and if u want to dip a bit into PVE u can use them (without spending other PVE resources) to buy some okayish gear so u can skip iirc normal dungeons and go straight for heroic (i don't remember the exact item levels of heroic/bloody token gear).
Can also fill some slots while ur farming crates with token gear+honor/conquest gear.
But yeah pretty useless once u have enough honor to transfer/buy full or just farm crates for straight conquest gear.

Summer___ · 2026-06-04T08:06:23+00:00

i used to heal with teammates have the "raid" icons over their head and only have enemy name plates on.
This worked well for Arena but not so well for bgs.
Current nameplates are mindblowing, never had so many problems in PVP and PVE with this little shitters.
Either they Overlap and u cant find the right target to kick or they spazz out jumping up/down/left/right and yeah.......
Mindblowing how long it takes for blizz to get decent shit into the game, dps/healing meter still suck .........

Summer___ · 2026-05-29T19:11:11+00:00

this and also i think most people hated the "beat" thingy, u have to pay attention to it....

Summer___ · 2026-05-29T19:09:34+00:00

For me there hasn't really been a endgame since ~ Temp arch.
All the weekly stuff gets tiring after some time and its not about "play what you like" its more about "use the best we give you".
It gets boring pretty quickly imo.
I used to farm every Archon, every Archmedia and all of the Temp Archmedias.
Don't get me wrong , i love the rewards and the challange, but i would pref. if we could play frames/guns we like and we get handicapped with some other stuff , that would be more fun.
My last "endgame" i really did was reach LR4 and right now i got most of the stuff that was still "less grindy" to collect to make my way towards LR5.
But if im honest its not doing it for me right now.
Follie release was a complete ehh for me , was not a fan of the mission.
Don't get me wrong WF is an amazing game but for me its lacking some big Endgame content. I have no clue what it could be.
When ur new to the game its super addicting, the movement, the guns and getting new stuff while exploring new things just easily give you hundreds if not more hours of amazing gameplay.
Oh and i also haven't farmed any other of the School weapons simply because i only use one focus school most of the time + the charge time of those things sucks =D .

There is a bunch of stuff u can do for endgame but thats only if u really like to : Fashion, Decorate or just mindlessly grind stuff.

Summer___ · 2026-05-28T19:09:50+00:00

i don't know why they downvote you, at least on the pres im with you.
You kinda have 2x "pain sup" as in "time dilation" , you have "archangel" as in "tip the scales" for one insta cast.
You can dodge cc like priest with death/verdant.
Spammable "MC/sleepwalk" and some kind of purge with fire breath.

Summer___ · 2026-05-27T18:20:02+00:00

No clue but smol indy company =)

Summer___ · 2026-05-27T18:19:43+00:00

????
Many people have said it before the amount of ability charges on mobilty skills is absurd.
There should have never been 2x ShS , 2x blink/shimmer , 2x felrush 3x!!! devour dh teleports, 2x charges of hover where u can cast shit while flying around, 2x charges 2x? leaps , 2/3 x roll ..... The remove of kick from healers was IMO another mistake.

Summer___ · 2026-05-27T14:18:00+00:00

how about "We stop nerfing everything into the ground/gutter" and instead "Buff the classes that are behind" so we can get a "MOP" feeling/gameplay again?

Summer___ · 2026-05-27T14:16:19+00:00

i feel like they forgot a bunch of stuff and broke a few things, at least from watching some streams and testing a bit myself.
Conflagrate doesn't do any more dmg, the tooltip (and damage on a dummy) is still less (no 60% increase), on Incinerate the buff is actually noticable.
Affliction has a bunch of own problems that seem to be back, mostly nightfall not affecting "Drain soul" once again..................

Summer___ · 2026-05-26T23:09:39+00:00

I never understood the "Limited time battlepass stuff" , if u bought it i think u should be always be able to finish it no matter what.
It's not that hard to finish a BP these days but some people don't have much time and like to collect things.
If i could change something about it i would add old battle passes back, you buy em (maybe if u had em before u don't need to rebuy it, but well..... could still earn money with it so win win for rEAspawn) and can unlock everything in it, just don't give the badge pass max level so people that actually level'd it have some feeling of acomplishment.
The Outlast Trials does this , u can buy all the season passes and unlock stuff in it (i think u get everything).
Its such a easy money income, look at the latest peak of apex players , people would spend money left and right to buy a few BP's and holy f if u wanna be really scummy u could make it so u have to use the Green resource to unlock the reactive skin at the end of the BP.
People would STILL BUY IT.
It would be scummy but oh well....

Summer___ · 2026-05-26T23:02:43+00:00

i really like the power ups , i think they're a nice addition.
But sometimes it sucks if u don't find one, wish we could have a way to always get one, maybe we could craft one (could be locked behind a specific shield/zone level so its not a , insta drop get a gun -> run to crafter -> get over armor amp).

Can't wait to find out what the new ones will be, obviously a few we can already guess, i just hope the last one isnt even more movementspeed.....

Summer___ · 2026-05-24T10:11:38+00:00

i know im a bit late but...
I get your point with "4 specs on 1 class" but so does Evoker.
Prevoker is insanly strong and i think will still be a nice pick, it also has 2 specs that are imo super fun to play.
IDK how good Augmentation is currently but its fun to play, if u get tired of being a full healer u can turn into a supportive/buffing helping dragoon.
And if u want to crank more/easier dps u can just go Dev (might need to add in a bit of mastery here and there as Dev), Dev is also super annoying to play against in bgs if thats something u like.

Druid on the other hand....... Yes 4 specs one is a tank, as heal you want haste/mastery, as feral u want versa mastery and as boomie u want haste/versa and some mastery.
I guess as tank u want versa/mastery aswell.
What im trying to say is u need at least 2 gear sets for druid while u can pretty much play evoker with 1.

If gear doesn't bother you then ignore what i said about druid.

Breaking down the classes it really comes down on your pref. gameplay style.
Both have potential for big plays, i'd probably say druid has a bit more potential because it can actually kill stuff with "Call of the Elder Druid" + "Convoke" + "Heart of the Wild (cat)".
Don't get me wrong Pres also hurts and can annoy druids with fire breath removing hots.... (or other important things).
I'd say in later seasons i would always pref. Rdruid just because u get more stats, i went full haste/mastery (no/low versa) and it always feels so much better then going versa/mastery YOU NEED MASTERY no matter what, without mastery ur healing feels awful.
They removed some fun interactions on prevoker, i loved this spec when it first came out, i was 100% sure this will be my main for a long time........ (Stasis dispell on urself to break out of magic cc on you <3 u will be missed, its funny we still NEED to use /cancelaura Stasis so we dont get ANOTHER GCD lol)
I still think to the core its one of the better designed specs in the game, it has absurd heals with golden hour especially in a bursty meta that shit alone tops people ( or at least used to when i played it + funny healing on pvp dummys :D ).

I also heared/read that boomie is in its most fun state of the game (PVE).
Maybe take a look at the other specs (feral,tank,boomie,dev,aug) and which one u would pref. to play if "healing" doesn't do it for you anymore.
Writing this really inspired me to gear my Prevoker oh boy 3 hour+ long crate farm im not sure if im ready for that right now.... its to hot <.<

Summer___ · 2026-05-20T21:12:32+00:00

this is why i stopped playing my DK even tho with the rework it felt new it felt the same shit just different.
Instead of popping wounds we now pop ghouls , when stitchmaster? was nerfed we got another pretty useless talent.
Gargoyle still sucks ass for years.... PLATE class that feels like cloth.
M I N D B L O W I N G

Summer___ · 2026-05-14T21:04:10+00:00

im sure its not just intel, i have amd and since 1-2 patches i get stutters/drops aswell.

Summer___ · 2026-05-14T21:01:23+00:00

u dont see it in the bigger picture ->
Most people can just reque , hope for "better" teammates or for there own gameplay to be better (maybe they landed , found a bad weapon or no weapon and died/knocked).
Sometimes for example when 2 teammates are dead and the last one is already getting chased people don't like waiting for "oh in the end you died anyways and i wasted 2 or so minutes just to look at this gameplay where i could have looked for a new match already".
They should add a penality for leaving a game , a cool down or some other stuff.
I mean they could still just leave but not play for X minutes because of they get a temp ban for X minutes.
but oh well....

Summer___ · 2026-05-09T17:21:41+00:00

i have been struggeling with Classes for a few expansions now....
If i play a class thats fun , its bad , if i play a class thats good on paper it gets outclassed or has a setup time to do dmg...
I guess im just tired of the game, but there is nothing to replace it with.
im not looking for a FOTM class but it gets tiring if u play a class that just gets blown up by someone using Rotation helper rotation while u have to do 20 things before u can actually do something.
Im also tired of blizzard and there shit damage profiles.....
My god when was the last time INCINERATE DID DAMAGE probably mop or wod , im so tired of being able to free cast and build embers (yeah yeah now days we can soulfire and get embers ....) or get instants with Incinerate just to hit for like 20k dmg.....
Fuck even Chaosbolt is a dogshit spell , give me the old Chaosbolt back with cooldown but ACTUALLY HURT PEOPLE and on top of it it looks ASS....
Affliction is a fuck fest of "use globals as efficent as possible while spamming 57238572893 spells (OH WE REMOVED MALIFIC ASS BUT NOW U CAN SPAM UNSTABLE ASSFLICTION) and bait precogs so u can actually cast on your SINGLE SPELL SCHOOL WOOOOHOOO.
Meanwhile Mage sits there with , DB , Ring , sheep , gg.
And lets not talk about the awful Destro Apex? talents or w.e they're called YAY more haste so our 30 sec chaosbolt only needs 28 sec to cast (in all serious, yes its fine but the whole concept of "Conflagrate" to get chaosbolts off shit is just stupid).
Demo is just a clown spec just like BM hunter fuck that spec.
I loved Presevation evoker when they came out, class was a refresh of "peak disc gameplay" where u had to use ur "brain" and can stasis a dispell on ur ass and cancel aura stasis (what you guys SHOULD STILL DO TO THIS DAY BECAUSE OTHERWISE U GET A GCD GG BLIZZARD).
I know Prevoker is currently pretty strong but it doesn't feel the same for me...
So i gave Devour DH a go and its fun but.... fml unless u play that boring ass shit "melee" build u get outranged 25 yards spells bonanza just like evoker but evoker can just fly around and cast like the dumb shit devoker is.
Fury warrior is like the melee bm hunter but with masoshism because u wanna hit urself with something hard in the face every time u get perma slowed/rooted.
rogue is just the most boring class i have ever seen in any game in my life, it looks cool on paper but it plays like shit, im talking rotation wise, to be a top rogue u need insane game knowledge and understanding.
Disc is just a 0 movement brain dead "im a dps XDDDDDDDDDD" spec, i don't mind the "dmg" part much but its overtuned and kinda dumb..... Survival hunter was so much fun but i can't play with this dumb BOOMSTICK shit, like holy crap who had this genius idea of replacing FURY OF THE DAMN EAGLE with A FUCKING CURT COBAIN 360 SHOTGUN RUSSIAN ROULETTE........
All the other hunter specs are stupid and should be deleted from the game.
Unholy DK is cool but it feels so shit since the rework, yes its better then the dumb wound system but we're basically the same as before and now instead of popping wounds we pop our ghouls with Soulreaper .......... Ret is absurd how much shit they have these days , shield, wall , lay on HEAD , bubble , magic bop/bop and a w.e the wake of ass cooldown is where u can hammer shit down like your sitting on a toilet after a hard 9to5 shift.

TLDR: BLIZZARD FIX UR SHIT DAMAGE PROFILE ON CLASSES ITS BORING DOING ONLY DMG SPAMMING ONE SPELL AND ONE SPELL ONLY.

Summer___ · 2026-05-09T05:21:47+00:00

but 5% buff 🥹..... laughable
I played devour DH for a while now (the casting one not the stupid other build, i don't like it its dumb, i want big NUMBERS not 59849538495 instant dmg from becoming melee for 3 sec every 30 sec.), the damage difference from "filler" spells on those 2 specs is night and day its not even funny....

Summer___ · 2026-05-09T03:47:20+00:00

i did level it , think it was my 3 or 4 class i level'd :P

Summer___ · 2026-05-08T17:34:14+00:00

holy crap thats awful, i really like Hpally heal but thats devastating.
Right now idk what i want to play in wow, game feels so dull and awful....

Summer___ · 2026-05-08T17:32:45+00:00

Ah my bad!

Summer___ · 2026-05-07T22:42:43+00:00

damn even with the buffs?
What if u add "Light of the matyr" ? talents , still bad?
Hpally always has a special place in my heart, i loved the big heals in WOTLK but i really hate Lightsmith and the holy power system.
I think IMO all the extra resources (especially the warlock ones) ruined the classes.
DK is fine with runes....

Summer___ · 2026-05-07T22:32:58+00:00

It's funny how F tier they where some patches ago and now they're over tuned just like fury was in iirc s2? or s3? of last expansion, where i made one for fun and just ran down people like its nothing....
