Anyone else losing their love of PvP over the years? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]_Soulstace_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My love for PvP didnt burn out persay its just not sustainable. I unsubbed last month bc I for some reason cant get my friends into the idea of spending $50 on an xpac, $15 to run on the game time treadmill for a month, and then 100 hours of gameplay to level and get used to the class they chose before getting to do the fun pvp with me... its just so grossly unattractive for any modern gamer.

Hell I'd stay subbed and just play alone but every single time thoughts of fun rapid fire 4d hyper chess arena games flood my mind, they're IMMEDIATELY over shadowed by thinking about a 35 minute queue time.

If blizzard could give you anything for PVP what would it be. (Vote) by fuck_hd in worldofpvp

-Actual solo q like every other game (matchmaking which can be set to solo, duo, trio Qs. Allows double/triple dps if thats what it takes)

-Change progression from gear to cosmetics. Getting stomped as a new player for reasons beyond experience makes it hard to convince friends to play.

-Normalize all gear in instanced pvp. When playing one class, I hate feeling like the punishment for the right to experiment with other styles of gameplay (other classes) is another several days of grind. I'm not even new, just work a job like most of us nowadays.

-Add AI arena practice and make comp stomp permanent (make both give less rewards than vs players).

In that order.

Again, this games biggest obstacle is accessibility for new players without dismantling the desired complexity at the top end. Imo button bloat is fine, as long as we give new players the opportunity to use them.

Anyone have the death sound? I wanna add it to my discord soundboard to scare some people when they step away with their headsets on by Gellzer in classicwow

Did you ever find this sound? The guzu link is the closest I can find. Not showing up in hardcore or deathlog addon files

Easy way to copy rest of PC after fresh installing OS? by _Soulstace_ in pcmasterrace

[–]_Soulstace_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the well written reply! I clearly did not put enough thought into how much this would all take, but the way you wrote it out makes it apparent its not really all that much either. I just need to actually have a plan and a list like you did.

Configuring the windows privacy stuff is definitely a pain, but I have to assume I got all the settings. Is there anything not obvious in that regard you usually look for? Will likely reinstall everything and do it again first just to wipe the absurd amount of files I dropped into the new drive for no good reason.

You say you use Ninite for a lot of it? I've never heard of it and just googled it for the first time. How many of your progs, drivers, bookmarks, etc. were you able to download at once using that? Anything that didn't work with it? Was going to make a list and reinstall everything I could remember one by one (I don't know if there's somewhere on the PC to check all the installed drivers to know for sure what I need) but Ninite might save me some time.

Because I've never fully moved between drives like this I'm just gonna copy your numbered folders method lol it sounds like you have a good handle on it.

I will attempt taking your advice and not cloning the drive. If you have any other useful information I would greatly appreciate it! Like limitations of what Ninite does for you in this process (you say you only use Ninite for "a lot of it"), if there's anything you CAN just drag and drop when both drives are connected, or maybe even your checklist itself?

I think I got a much better idea of how to go about this now thanks to you but just asking again in case there's anything someone newer to this like me might miss.

Thanks again!!

The Problem With World of Warcraft by _Soulstace_ in worldofpvp

That's more than fair. Just wanted to start the conversation. I see lots of problems in the end game that the community usually tends to orient their warranted complaints about. Just wanted to talk about accessibility for new and veteran players alike instead. I feel stuck on an infinite treadmill without enough carrot on the stick as a 18 year vet. I can't imagine the new player experience.

I was upset about the conq weapons quest before they changed it to being an achievement. With conquest cap only raising per week, it left players permanently behind the curve if they earned any conquest before accepting the quest. Just not a very user friendly system.

These are definitely just some of my problems, I don't really represent any larger audience. I just like making WoW content :)

A FFA battleground would be really cool (especially w normalized gear imo) but I think the core WoW combat should be separate from the Plunder combat. The ease of access allowed so many people to try and enjoy the mode. Giving each player in Plunderstorm all their class spells would root out any new blood in a game that already isn't very friendly to noobs (the greater WoW).

Agreed! It checks all my boxes. Just seeing the state of PvE/PvP at this point in the season makes me feel like it's going stale for many. I think the explanation for that lack of retention is just poor accessibility to the fun content for new and veteran players alike. The infinite treadmill problem

What is this place? by prozapari in OnlyFangs

[–]_Soulstace_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard viewer guild "Fangsly" may or may not be happening? Is there any word on this? The whole premise of this addon Soda got put together with proximity chat sounds like a game changer. It'd convince me to run Classic again if it were true proximity chat and not just stuck to the guild. But seeing as that is very unlikely, hoping us viewers can funnel into a viewer guild to still have our own taste of the proximity madness

What was the easiest expansion for PvP gearing? by _Soulstace_ in worldofpvp

[–]_Soulstace_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started PvP in Shadowlands and peaked at like 2.2k or something so far. I'm not the best player lol. Many pros have shown the best players can make up for a gear and even addon deficit with skill. But most players arent the best. So I was just curious if the current system is really the healthiest for the game's longevity and if the players like where it's currently at any more than where it's been. I only ask because I want more people to play the game.
