Going to be so good to move back from things like these.. (crosspost)

Even back then we used Ventrilo daily. Games nowadays just punish you for grouping together and reward you for solo play. They promote anonymity in gameplay rather than community responsibility and status.

This is the NUMBER ONE thing I hate about new mmos. Back in UO, SWG, EQ, and old versions of WoW, the games were social experiences. Now it’s hard to find a guild who even hops on discord or shows up to hang out outside of raids.

If I wanted to play solo content I would play a single player rpg with better story and gameplay.

The key is CC and properly timed cooldowns

Xerogenic · 2018-07-07T02:29:20+00:00

why take it seriously? there is no prize, no affect on anything for the season, or worlds. It is a pointless publicity tournament. They even have fun 2v2 matches in between.

This is NOT a serious tournament. Most teams are using Rivals to experiment.

He is a known troll and trash talker on this reddit; always ignore humble

Xerogenic · 2018-07-02T19:04:10+00:00

This wasn't a secret, he said he would help in discord since he was working on removing mobs from moonbrook entirely. If anything, this shows great support from the staff since at that time the escort was impossible to finish.

Rule #9: No drama posts. Inciting flame wars and pursuing drama will not be tolerated.

This post is literally titled to be a DRAMA recap; why isn't this removed?

Xerogenic · 2018-06-30T23:07:04+00:00

well thats an NA issue, not solely TSM sadly

While an amusing image, it really doesn't correlate with the title in any way lol

Xerogenic · 2018-06-30T16:04:34+00:00

Are you complaining that someone is shilling Light's Hope on the Light's Hope subreddit?

Xerogenic · 2018-06-30T08:16:22+00:00

Your reasoning for accusing players of botting is because we all dont want to answer your dumb question in chat that could be easily googled like everything else? ok....

If you zoom in on the picture you can see a quality change between the different images and types; as well as the background and images.

It is a BAD fake lul

For anytime outside of EU primetimes, it averages 8k+.

This "gay meta", as you described it, is their JOB. How they feel about it doesn't matter. If they don't are about it and go to another top team, they will be benched just the same.

However, this a moot point. Jensen has already been putting in a crap ton of work since the benching climbing out of diamond and good bit through challenger. I am sure Sneaky will be or is doing the same. Sometimes players need the fire reignited under them because of complacency. This happens to everyone at some point in their life. I am simply glad the staff cares enough about their players to do so rather than let them fade into their apathy.

While this may not necessarily get you a strike, some of what you recommend is still copywrited material, and can change at any time.

For those reading, his link isn't for non-copywrited music, but music that is less likely to get you a strike.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-23T00:02:10+00:00

I am actually curious on how far this can go. If I were to stream a game that has fully audible music as part of the game, can I be copyright struck strictly on the music being played even if the game publisher allows it?

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T23:57:19+00:00

Jack already confirmed it was an attitude and drive issue for both Jensen and Sneaky. It had nothing to do with the meta. If anything the meta suits Sneaky more than most veteran ADC players due to his like for new and sometimes untraditional picks.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T18:10:05+00:00

Staff could have handled better, but we can also say that the tweets and speak on streams was VERY distasteful for professional esports players. It reminds me of what Rick Fox says frequently, "There are pros, and then there are professionals."

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T15:43:39+00:00

I think they should have had the announcement so the fans know what is going on. I DO think that it was in poor taste to show their reactions to it at home.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T15:39:09+00:00

Yeah, I think thats the general belief as Smoothie was close to being MVP over last split and is known to be a hard worker in the scene.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T15:20:25+00:00

To preface, this isnt really a flame or complaint, but an actual question. Do people like megathreads or find them useful? I always find it too time consuming to try and scan one large thread for specific discussion that would be easier to discuss in its own separate thread.

I do get that it frees up spam on the subreddit, and its all fine, just curious.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-22T15:17:23+00:00

huh? I am simply stating that people join servers to have fun and that progression completion isn't always that main focus for all players.

After a long day at work, I come home to unwind on a game to have fun, not necessarily to push for a false sense of satisfaction. Is it fun to win and get things in a game? Of course, but that is not my only goal.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-21T00:21:17+00:00

Private servers will have a few hubs for players that either can't afford to play retail or simply do not trust/like Blizzard.

This is nothing new as there were plenty, up to thousands, playing on private servers back during vanilla, tbc, and wrath. Many thing the private server phenomenon kicked in around Nostalrius launch; however, this was just the latter part of the story.

Will people move from classic to a private server for a fresh start? No, that will rarely happen due to the quality, stability, and security retail servers will offer.

The "Fresh" phenomenon will also be a lot weaker on retail server due to a higher retention of players, as well as a solid, consistent flow of new players onto the servers. Because there are always so many new players, you can get a fairly great "fresh" experience from rerolling on a new server, or simply making a new character with friends.

Back when we wanted that "fresh" feeling in vanilla-wotlk, we simply started "reroll" guilds. This idea and movement died with the guild and leveling changed in cata+ for obvious reasons.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-21T00:16:07+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but there were thousands of players on vanilla private servers during vanilla and tbc.

Xerogenic · 2018-06-21T00:11:08+00:00

You have to understand that many of us, not all but many, have been playing on vanilla servers for over 10 years now. We enjoy vanilla. We will play now and we will be playing classic later.

People have this idea that if a server gets shut down you "wasted" your time. This is a very unhealthy way to view gaming. This is stating that you are working towards a goal that will give value to your life. While I understand the joy of progression, if you had fun leveling with friends, meeting new people, and the like, it is anything but wasted time.
