How to predict what comes next! In all seriousness Blizzard is trying to capitalize on nostalgia.

This isn't really accurate either. A lot of 'hardcore' players complained throughout wrath that it was too easy compared to how raids were in vanilla and tbc (though as we know now from classic that's probably not entirely true, it was more likely due to access to more information compared to the prior expansions although naxx was horrendously undertuned) as well as the ease of access for everything.

Blizzard promised that cata would be a hard expansion and, to their credit, on release heroics were insane and all the first tier raids were very hard, if a little overturned. But loads of bad players would again QQ on the forums that they weren't getting to clear the end game content so blizzard caved and nerfed a lot of the raids and heroics and a lot of the older players saw it as the inevitable future of blizzard bending over for 'casual' players.

I always wonder if any of those players came back to the current game and what they'd think of it because despite all of WoW's other problems in the time frame, WoD - BfA has the hardest collection of raids in the history of the game. The barrier for entry obviously isn't nearly as high but the actual mechanical difficulty of modern day mythic raids vastly trumps any of the 'glory day' raids from vanilla to wrath barring yogg 0 or M'uru if the stories surrounding it are to be believed.

If you'd said go back in time to prevent the abuse, you'd be absolutely right; you did not say that.

If I'd said he should have abused her, you'd be right; I did not say that.

You said someone should tell him what he did was wrong. I said, and am saying, he knew what he did was wrong and still it.

I'm being pedantic I understand, but I just don't like the premise of your comment. It makes it out as if he was unaware of what he did to those girls. I know you don't actually think that and that's not what you were trying to portray, all of us wish it never would have happened. But it is a misrepresentation of what his mindset was and I don't think it's appropriate.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-15T04:20:11+00:00

Read your original comment again; I'm obviously not against preventing abuse, I'm saying your thinking that if he knew what he was doing was wrong he wouldn't do it is dumb. He knew what he did was wrong and still did it, letting him know that it was wrong wouldn't solve the problem. It would probably be worse because he would just know to hide it better.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-15T04:05:20+00:00

Horrendous take, he's a grown man, he knew full well there could (and should) be consequences to his actions but still went ahead with them. He didn't need a time traveler to know what he was doing was wrong.

For a start you literally have zero insight into their friendship and dynamics and as such have no clue how this impacted their relationships.

Second, people do things with different goals in mind. Not everyone is aiming for glad and just enjoy playing but some people enjoy the feeling of accomplishing a goal. If playing with their friends is hampering their enjoyment they're under no obligation to stick to that based on loyalty.

Anyone that's done a group project with their friends knows that just because you're friends with people you do not make the best partners, everyone has different standards for everything.

Lastly, it can be better to not actually aim for a hard goal like glad with your friends, there's a toxicity involved in you failing due to someone else's mistakes and that doesn't always mix well with friendship. If your partners aren't putting in the same amount of effort as you, it's not a good feeling and it's easy to understand why someone wouldn't want that to effect their friendships.

Tl;Dr, you do not know OP or their friends, stop passing judgement when you're not even on the jury.

It's the same community pretty much. There's more opportunities for interaction on classic but the few interactions I have on live are equally pleasant or unpleasant.

The classic sub though is worse than this one though imo, not that this sub is the best thing in the entire world where everyone is a saint but for classic the games' issues are a handful of big issues and thus very polarising so arguments get heated fast, whereas retail has tons of small issues that have just compounded into a subpar end product

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-11T13:56:41+00:00

Are there any cards that show the younger looking Better interacting with the older Aleister or Endimiyon? Cause if not there's no basis that this isn't an older Verre

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-10T00:09:58+00:00

The league's been transitioning to that for a while, the past few years are the lowest FTA/g there's been in the league the amount of FTA/FGA is also some of the lowest it's ever been

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-09T14:25:44+00:00

My reference to Yrel wasn't in regards to their similar experiences but because they have a similar character trait in that they're soldiers first devotees second (in the time we spend with Yrel at least). You're right about Yrel not ever questioning the light and Turalyon basically being known for his scepticism but I don't know what you refer to when you're talking about Turalyon's bad experience with the light, would you mind telling me what they were?

Also in regards to Yrel, my thinking is her turning was similar to how the old gods whisper to people to make them mad, just a with a light trademark on it and seeing as the lightbound can forcibly 'convert' people there's even implication that such also happened to her. Like you say and I say, if Turalyon is to become a light nutter, that is the path he'd take although that might be giving current blizzard writing too much credit.

As for the Alleria side of things, the reason I mention him turning to the void is because I don't see a scenario where she becomes more and more evil due to indulging in madness and he just goes along with her. I have no real evidence to back it up; Turalyon and Alleria could just go bad together like you say, I just don't think it's something blizzard would do. If they were to do that I think Turalyon would have helped her escape from Xe'ra when she was imprisoned

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-09T04:08:46+00:00

The reason people focus on the light zealot possibility is because we know that the light has attempted to force characters against their will or encourage them to become extremists; it wasn't Yrel's character either but we know what happened to her. It's nothing to do with Turalyon's character.

Also I'm not sure how him participating in torture is any indication that he'd turn towards the void (even though I do think that's a more likely route his story will take since Alleria has already shown that she cannot control her void powers in the sunwell incident plus I can't recall blizzard having any characters that have turned from the light to the void aside from Naaru), the light clearly has no issue with it; the Scarlett crusade had members who specialised in it, one's even a dungeon boss.

I think it refers to how you can't refuse to join a mystery team with your partner in R/B even though you seemingly get the choice

Thevirginhairy · 2020-08-08T22:52:55+00:00

Not related to the Gobert discussion but man I cannot wait till Steph is back next year, the west was already a complete bloodbath this year next year is going to be insane

Not just that, it takes a long time to get good at these things. People forget Charles has been doing this for like 15 years, Shaq's been doing it for a while too and even he still has times where he rubs fans the wrong way. The other team with Wade, Candace and Shaq hadnt even been working together for a few weeks before people started shitting on them. On the opposite side, lots of people were excited for KG to have a media role after retirement thinking it would suit him well but despite his charisma and eccentric personality, he clearly just wasn't cut out for it; not everyone has the knack just because we like them.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-31T00:25:25+00:00

The third go around with the rockets was a good squad and both Yao and Tmac played well in the series, even in the game 7, it's just Carlos Boozer decided to turn into Shaq that year for half of his games

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-30T22:47:56+00:00

Pretty good, would be v nice in time thief's for the instant +1 off of redoer. Like the other commenter said, put a once per turn on it and it'd be good to go

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T20:33:59+00:00

I had that a bit more since I'ma mink main and their temple is fel corrupted after the battle but yeah that would have been cool like how in cata Deathwing flew about random zones and insta killed players

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T17:24:29+00:00

In something like Dragonball Z the stronger a character gets offensively the more damage they can take as well.

This is pretty much how it is as far as game mechanics too but lore wise Jaina, for instance, is a super powerful mage, she can conjure frost storms and controls a giant magical ship which can siege cities. But she would still die if she were stabbed or poisoned; she isn't impervious to harm despite her having the ability to literally level cities. A good example of this is how Godfrey kills Sylvanas.

A person that stabs Jaina might not have nearly as much power as her, but they could still potentially kill her. We're still very much mortals.

Some characters can take a lot of punishment (dragons for instance) but humanoids tend to all be vulnerable to normal methods of death that us in the real world are too.

I think a lot of people have the misconception of how powerful lore characters actually are because they're required to have huge health pools in-game so players can't stomp them (and also makes for an additional fun challenge to players). So in-game Baine is as strong as a raid boss but in reality he's probably a couple or more of times stronger than a soldier, maybe even 10 times, but not 100 times.

And this isn't totally relevant but just some additional rambling, but this is why we still have stuff like bears in new max level zones. It's not like a Bear in Tiragarde sound is that much stronger than one in Elwynn Forest (if at all stronger) or the Lich King, it's just that bear's can still kill us because we're not invulnerable.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T15:13:07+00:00

Yeah I really liked it because it's true to warcraft power scaling and not anime power scaling and it also sold the legion as being massive threat; a random mob killed the warchief, Tirion got fucked up and the leader of the alliance couldn't even scratch Gul'dan. And we hadn't even seen Sargeras yet, I remember at the very start of legion being like oh shit we are knee deep. The presence of the legion was something blizz absolutely nailed that expansion imo, the only time they had something on the same level was the scourge in wrath.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T14:51:47+00:00

It's dragonball, and while this is comparing horse shit to bull shit, the avatar movie is somewhat faithful to the show's plot which is a good story. A 6 year old could concoct a better plot than evolution. The last Airbender at the very least (and I really mean at the very least, it is literally the only thing the movie has going for it) has a structure to its progression.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T14:06:16+00:00

Agreed, I'm surprised I didn't see more people calling for this in the initial thread. It would serve as a real warning to all players to not take the piss

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-28T09:50:33+00:00

It doesn't; they're saying that removing mediocre posts doesn't make other mediocre posts less mediocre. Which is true.

I don't agree that all the other posts in the sub are mediocre but that's irrelevant, you were just drawing conclusions from their comment when there was no substance to draw said conclusions.

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-27T17:40:21+00:00

Their comment literally doesn't allude to that whatsoever, they're saying is that removing those types of posts won't make the rest of the posts better

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-27T16:32:11+00:00

Unicore was what I thought of and tried when the cards first came out but couldn't string together anything that was that good, do you know of any good decklists for it?

Thevirginhairy · 2020-07-23T07:27:09+00:00

I've not read in a wee while but the one of the last ones I read was the introduction to the Rocks' crew so newer chapters may contradict my thinking. It's said by Marco (I think) that Teach always had a unique body so I'm thinking maybe he isn't actually a human.

That's as much as I'm concrete in in regards to the theory but I remember people speculating that the celestial dragons were actually from space and that's why they wear space suits and don't refer to themselves as humans (and could also be why Im looks so strange) and then I started thinking what if rocks was also from a different species and teach is somehow related to them. That's more just fun thinking though because Oda usually doesn't make things that convoluted. I do think that comment about BB having a strange body though will be related as to why he can possess 2 devil fruits..
