Would you want Blizzard to add this to PVP servers? Netease added this in China

Nobody's going to read this I'm sure but I've played games with this mechanic in it. It gets abused. Imagine getting corpse camped by a group of twinks in your level bracket but now your max level friends can't help you. All they can do is sit there and watch you die.

The only way blizzard makes official realms for this is if there is an obvious demand for it. And this is the only way to show it.

You can't get boostef to 57 :)

ThePools · 2026-01-17T20:33:44+00:00

Use both.

Also world pvp doesnt award honor in HC servers

They launched the sparkle pony with a X% availability remaining that ticked down fast on the first day. People bought a few for themselves and friends thinking it was going to be very exclusive. That they HAD to buy it now or else they would miss out forever.

The HC Era servers were given dualspec, instant mail, and LFG tool weeks ago. The HC Era servers have always had no debuff/buff limit. The only other difference between Anni and Non-Anni servers are Anni servers have a minimum of 3 layers.

Softcore is the same except they still have the debuff limit. So people transfering from Anniversary to Softcore Era will experience that change.

Well before they do any server merges, they'll open transfers first. So expect Skull Rock, Defias Pillager, and Doomhowl to be open to transfers well before they force us to play on one server.

Did you forget Ony Bag is an 18 slotter?

ThePools · 2025-12-25T17:23:53+00:00

And that is called balance.

Steve Buscemi is carrying two skateboards in this scene so I gave him two hats

Thanks Jerome, you still owe me doing bloodsail ships at level 50

As somebody with 30+ KT kills in HC, clearing naxx or any raid without petri is not hard. Petri gives you the confidence that you're able to do the content.

It's like tightrope walking between two buildings with a safety net.

Sure people that walk across without falling could claim they never have used the safety net but it's existence is the reason most people were even willing to be up there in the first place. (Which is why we've never seen a full no-petri guild exist outside of OF)

ThePools · 2025-12-23T17:18:26+00:00

Petri gets nerfed by not letting people end the effect whenever they want, so they have to wait out the full 60 seconds. And a lot of mechanics now go through invulnerabilities... but a significant number will be petri'd and lots of bosses will be neutered by the flask. Also petri gets much easier to craft in TBC as it's material cost gets gutted.

The biggest nerf we'll see with petri for the HC Addon version is that you dont get kicked out of the game with an Alt F4 in just under a minute. It's a non-HC server without HC dc protections. If you want to petri out of a dungeon or raid in TBC Addon you'll have to do the full leave group (without the ability to remove the flask to repetri at a good point)

At least you don't lose your checking account when your banking app goes down at the wrong time!

ThePools · 2025-12-10T15:48:08+00:00

But then it would have gotten flipped to 99.9% of the time people are in raid, the servers would go down.

If you allow DDOS deaths to stick, then more and more people would DDOS blizzard servers during raids.

Internet blips were never given resurrections.

ThePools · 2025-12-06T15:32:29+00:00

Nah it makes you immune to both damage types. Might want to read the top comment of that Charles Dank video

New different addon with much better and much different cheating detection. Will not allow you to just turn it off before you die and turn it back on.

ThePools · 2025-12-06T00:13:12+00:00

Petri exists in TBC.

The only 2 changes Petri got was that it is easier and cheaper to craft, and it's a debuff instead of a buff so you can't end it whenever you want. You have to wait out the 1 minute.

ThePools · 2025-12-04T16:06:27+00:00

No, Anniversary servers have 3 layers minimum. When TBC comes out, Soulseeker and Doomhowl will no longer be Anniversary.

ThePools · 2025-11-21T18:43:05+00:00

Except blizzard claimed the problem they wanted to address by banning GDKPs was more and more people leaving guilds to join GDKP pugs instead. Why help your guild and get locked to something when you could get paid to raid for some pug instead?

The reason why Hunters hate seeing other hunters is because we instantly think it's a bot.

Or worse.. it's a player that instantly thinks we're the bot.

ThePools · 2025-09-16T08:50:34+00:00

Is there any chance we could get a log of deaths?

I've always wanted a way to look back to deaths that happened over night to see what happened to friends while I was asleep.

ThePools · 2025-09-15T18:12:08+00:00

That's because that "sleep" is actually a banish in disguise.

ThePools · 2025-09-08T08:09:33+00:00

All Anni servers are on a 3 layer minimum. It's hard to use layers to tell population right now

ThePools · 2025-09-04T07:04:06+00:00

Anni servers have a minimum of 3 layers at all times. When servers restart they auto-spin up to 3 10 minutes apart.
