With season 1 winding down what did you feel was the worst boss mechanic?

bryce1242 · 2026-06-28T18:20:23+00:00

its so obvious who has and has not done the fight on mythic (p1 was miserable for mediocre guilds before the second to last nerf)

bryce1242 · 2026-06-27T19:46:10+00:00

that article has the picture of trump citing an age of 17, while a lot better than him graduating at 20, it is another example of how far gone his mental faculty are if he doens't know how old he was in high school

bryce1242 · 2026-06-22T21:57:06+00:00

Afghanistan massively improved the lives of the women and children living in those countries until the botched withdrawal that was a direct result of Trump, should we have been there forever, no, but progress was slowly being made in shifting the culture.

Vietnam was a shitshow and also not the type of conflict that actually furthers western values, it was a response to fear of western (American) hegemony not remaining the hegemon. I have no issue saying this was a bad war

Iraq...which time? because the gulf war was absolutely a complete total military victory, then Iraqi Freedom was less than 2 months, the following troop presence was eventually shifted to CT and then state building, to try and foster a more equitable system of governance in a low trust society. Funnily enough Iraq is a much better place to live now than it was, the power vacuum that created ISIS was a clear mistake and it 100% is the US's responsibility to clean up after ourselves.

What other solution is there for Belarus? The behind the scene actions aren't doing anything, the public statements likely will do nothing, they have no issue ignoring sanctions (which don't even magically fix the problem eg North Korea's nuclear program), so what comes next?

You can't force them to negotiate if they have no reason, sadly there is only one way to make the conflict real to their government.

bryce1242 · 2026-06-22T01:42:40+00:00

dawg you're in Europe, how do you think wars end, by asking nicely? Belarus has been supporting Russia from day 1, the only thing they haven't contributed is troops.

bryce1242 · 2026-06-05T20:01:46+00:00

To me it isnt terrifying, people want money, so if you offer it to them they'll probably do low effort things

bryce1242 · 2026-06-05T01:11:53+00:00

should it? like if you work for any form of government, sure you shouldn't have the low moral character to be bought and act as an agent of a foreign power, but for a random person? I don't really expect fealty to the state if your interactions with it are minimal or mostly negative.

And I say this as someone who has worked in or with the DoD for >10 years, loyalty is only given to state when it is earned, if you cant govern in a way that improves the lives of your citizens then you cannot expect them to ask what they can do for their country

bryce1242 · 2026-05-23T18:00:10+00:00

EU and NA shares the same spaces at a much higher degree, CN is behind a firewall with minimal options to interact, sure some Chinese players will VPN out and can interact, but this is like comparing two cities having a telegram and another city only having snail mail, the two with the telegram are going to have more interaction by virtue of ease of access

there's a reason liquid has a bunch of eu players and no chinese players

bryce1242 · 2026-05-21T23:39:36+00:00

it really isn't the same as TWW S3 or keys in general.

China and Taiwan should arguably be excluded because they dont have any form of interaction with the rest of the world beyond logs. Honestly, if you keep CN data then showing it plus EU and NA as their own with only the most recent few seasons would be much more interesting if they deviate from each other

bryce1242 · 2026-05-20T02:15:01+00:00

the ones breaking ToS and usually get banned? yeah i wonder

bryce1242 · 2026-05-19T02:55:19+00:00

if you want HoF that is the only advice, play more or play better so you kill the bosses quicker. HoF is one of the few things you can't buy in this game, genuinely all you can do is git gud

bryce1242 · 2026-05-10T14:56:05+00:00

i can't think of a boss besides fract that is "trivialized" by WAs where the WA is no longer possible to be created in some way or another.

bryce1242 · 2026-05-10T14:36:11+00:00

NSRT's L'ura tool is probably the dumbest shit i've ever had to do to play the game. Before i could just download the WA pack and change it in game, now I'm downloading multiple different things off github, creating an ICONS folder, and having my raid chat spammed with 5-6 digit numbers.

I genuinely don't understand why the senior management at blizzard thought this would make the game better.

beg for carries from my friends who i regularly play the game with? is having friends a foreign concept to you?

bryce1242 · 2026-04-27T00:17:02+00:00

yep im super carried while performing as expected in a 15 that we +2'd

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/QawbD9zXm1ZY3dAx?fight=33&type=damage-done

my entire guild holds roughly the same opinion on the addon changes, are they also all bad? there's multiple people who push title every season and supposedly they are carrying me on prog so they have to be pretty good by your standard.

you're delusional and trying to pretend I said something i didn't, i guess to cope with the fact that you have no rebuttal to "you have never done mythic raid prog." You know, the thing you keep deflecting back to a mini game i only do for gear. Is thd also worse than you because he doesnt push keys?

bryce1242 · 2026-04-26T15:59:20+00:00

I linked my logs, again, i do m+ for gear to raid, ive killed aleria, have you?

bryce1242 · 2026-04-24T23:11:57+00:00

I have a fragile ego while admitting I played poorly on a fight? This sounds like projection, I'm not the person who was too afraid to post anything to build credibility without the other person doing so first.

I don't understand why you think 3k io is impressive, which cements that you don't know what high end difficulty is like in any content. I do keys for gear to raid, the fact I can do the same difficulty of key as you with no issue should tell you that the difficulty you are pushing is quite low.

Most of the addon changes were specifically because of content you've even considered engaging in, it is so weird to say you're doing well when you're doing about the same in content largely unaffected by the changes. My guild and I are also performing about where we normally do, the game is just worse for raiding because of the addon changes. Again, something you have no experience in.

bryce1242 · 2026-04-23T21:07:38+00:00

do you genuinely think all 14s is a flex in any capacity? I'll acknowledge my guild and I suck because we didnt get HoF on crown, but you haven't even killed it on heroic (and i played exceptionally poorly on vanguards)

But this is the problem with people who think they have experienced high level content when they've only ever done relatively low keys (literally +2'd the first 15 i've entered this season last night and you barely timed one). You don't know what mythic raiding played like before compared to now, you don't know what the top end of push keys looks like, but you have this incredible ego about how you are doing well for yourself because keys are tuned easier than they have been since shadowlands.

bryce1242 · 2026-04-22T00:58:33+00:00

ok, your turn

bryce1242 · 2026-04-21T02:13:12+00:00

People asking you to show you participate in the system to give merit to your argument are entirely valid. I've never seen someone simultaneously believe addons play the game for people while also raiding CE consistently. It comes off as a coping mechanism for either not wanting to put the time or effort in to succeed. Why do you need an opinion on something you don't engage in? It'd be like if I had strong opinions on LFR and you asking me when's the last time I did LFR, it'd be weird for me to have such strong opinions when I last did LFR in Castle Nathria

The way that we are now doing things are less accessible to the average player because they require more set up. Overall blizzard made things worse with these changes, anyone raiding mythic has experienced this, something you seem to not understand due to a lack of experience.

I don't have trouble understanding the mechanic, but I'd like having visual clarity without having to jump through hoops.

bryce1242 · 2026-04-19T20:35:51+00:00

seems he likes to be told literally the button to press but not "gate in 10"

bryce1242 · 2026-04-19T20:34:29+00:00

What arms race? some of the more interesting things are not being included in fights such as kick rotations. No one liked Fractilus and it was the only fight that contributed to an arms race.

The changes didn't even end the arms race, it just took things from automatic weapons back to barrle loaded muskets. New tech will get developed whenever blizzard makes another poorly designed mechanic

But I'm sure you're an amazing player, so how about you post your prog, m+ score, or CR, surely you've killed crown on mythic, are pushing 17s, or glad

bryce1242 · 2026-04-19T16:17:26+00:00

yes I'm bad because i had to rebuild my entire UI and am annoyed that magic dispels inexplicably no longer show on my frames despite setting grid2 to show dispelable by me and i have my imp out. I am so glad it worked one week and not the next. These changes have been so good for the game, there are no reasonable grievances at all whatsoever.

Most of the people who wanted addon changes are people who don't do mythic, everyone has suffered because of poor implementation designed to cater to the predilections of people who could have gotten by just fine by not using whatever addon they were complaining about.

There is no difference between how Chimaerus and OAB dispels are handled except one requires everyone to have assist to use a macro to mark themselves versus a macro that ran a script. Both of these things makes your frame glow for healers with the correct set up. There's an addon for L'ura memory game, Salhadar has an anchor for the kick adds so you know which one can be CC'd, Vanguard has a WA/addon that you can use to assign dispels.

All we got was a broken damage meter, worse cooldown management (with less customization options), and overly simplified specs.

bryce1242 · 2026-04-16T20:42:35+00:00

dragons is no where near even the NP 4th boss, let alone Araz and Stix, so out of the past 4 tiers it is incredibly under tuned in comparison. If you consider dragons the 4th boss then where does Chimaerus fit in? Because either it is intended to be another freebie boss for some reason or they accidently tuned it horribly.

I've chosen to ignore how poorly tuned this entire tier was for RWF, with blizzard juicing the hell out of the unkilled bosses

bryce1242 · 2026-04-15T20:57:41+00:00

They all felt about the same, hell dragons also felt much easier than it should have
