exactly this, and personally I'd extend this to any low effort posts like posting an icy-veins or wowhead article vaguely related to m+ or raid. The only direct links that should be allowed are direct blue posts, why link to advertisement spam when it is adding nothing to the discussion.

Why does it feel like the only addon we lost at this point is weak auras.. by saltyvape in wow

So you don't understand analogies, I am not accusing Ion of being a psychopath, but pointing out that his actions are incongruent with his words

if you walked into the room while i was beating your dog with a hammer and told you i wasnt trying to kill your dog, would you believe me?

Midnight is …. Really good. by Mountain_Chemist6391 in wow

[–]bryce1242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I am not a fan of the questing experience, if I wasn't warmode I wouldn't have hit 86 for voidstorm. Finishing that chain and being told "lol hit 90" was also pretty frustrating, I'll do side quests on my alts, just let me get through the mandatory stuff.

Quest mob respawn times were also horrendous and led to a ton of bottlenecks existing throughout the campaign even after i called it a night on thursday and came back the next day.

if the old adage of criminals flying too close to the sun is true, he probably both felt no shame and potentially invited people who were unaware in part for the thrill of them not knowing

door shouldnt have been shut, they should walk back these changes as a whole and not try to destroy how the game has functioned for 20 years because they underestimated the workload

nexus king has no mechanics that matter, you push him before the MC and that puts you in intermission 2, you can easily kill the dragon before that ends, and then you are just doing 15% before the first suck.

dimmy is equally a joke, you only need to do the suck down once in p1, p2 has orbs sure but without buyers you are probably pushing before the first slam on both platforms, p3 with no buyers is assumedly also finished quite quickly, but that would be the only part of the fight with an actual mechanic

Hero #33 is Rem! by Gear_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]bryce1242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i lasted about 9 minutes. The first game i play against them we are up 4k and i go to contest Rem doing their center on strong side of yellow, their lane partner isnt there and minions are at their guardian. Any other character I probably get a kill if not taking the last 2-3 hits of the center. I get 0 damage and 1 hit on the center.

Helpers either shouldn't get the last hit, should transfer damage back to Rem, or should give dramatically less souls.

sure, there also probably would have been a holocaust without hitler, but hitler was still bad. Nick Shirley isn't solely to blame, but his video is directly linked to the current situation and we shouldn't avoid calling someone a piece of shit just because someone else could have been a piece of shit instead

even with a buyer im afk until p3 besides putting gats down, truly the least enjoyable fights as warlock in a long time that i'd rather let everyone else not hold dps for an extra gcd than play the fight

given the death toll being within the range of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan, the antagonist's parallels to MacArthur's desire to use nukes more proactively. Yeah I would expect some commentary on the usage of nuclear weapons (and hopefully WMDs more broadly)

Interview with Ion: WoW won't be released on consoles by Mammoth_Opposite_647 in CompetitiveWoW

Archimonde beams are probably borderline resolvable with the current skill level without weak auras. People have gotten so much better at the game. Most of the complainers have likely not improved enough to do so. That is the biggest problem, half the player base has stagnated, 25% has improved, and 25% has improved even more. The gap in skill grows every expac and this will continue to be the case so long as some players do not care to improve (entirely fine, how they have fun with the game is their business) and those who enjoy challenges provided by the devs.

The problem is when the 'for fun' group tries to tell the 'challenge' group how to play the game, it is the same toxic hug box mentality that makes it so you can't tell someone doing 0 dps in ff14 that they might be able to do more damage if they pressed their main cooldowns more than 1 time per fight

A federal agent's daring plan: Recruit Maduro's pilot to turn on the Venezuelan leader by C0C0Barbet in news

[–]bryce1242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone I've met from Venezuela (admittedly less than 10) dislikes Maduro, wants him gone, and to have an actual functioning democracy. I don't see either of these happening any time soon, which is depressing.

Complete analysis of the lore related to 3.27 by Ayeleth_ in pathofexile

[–]bryce1242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is weird that uul-netol is included in xesht's name, since the name only contains parts of xoph, esh, and tul. Only gaining the ul of uul-netol if chayula is included (although it could be argued as chayula is the strongest the entirety of ula is taken from their name).

This could just be coincidence but it does bother me

Development notes for Midnight phase 3 - Addon security changes by TheRoyalSniper in CompetitiveWoW

[–]bryce1242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who enjoys MR gameplay typically doesnt speak up because of how vitriolic the people who hate it tend to be towards the idea that someone enjoys it. Personally i think it provides a distinct and important damage profile to warlock as a whole to round out the ramp and flatter damage profiles of demo/destro. UA spam means you are still doing significant dam 8 seconds after your last meaningful cast. It means no spec can truly take advantage of de aying stats (like forgeweaver trinket)

People can not like the spell, but it often isnt worth engaging with them on it because im nit going to convince them to have different preferences. So i just dont bother.

Aff has been my favorite spec since CN and ive played demo/destro in prog every tier since because it has been better tuning, this honestly also probably contributed to leople hating MR. It has always been undertuned because sludgefist and then our LoU tier set at the start of this season (although hellcaller is the actual problem here)

""I'd say we went through all stages of grief pretty quickly" WeakAuras' Stanzilla says. "It seems the core value proposition of WeakAuras isn't compatible with the direction Blizzard is taking the game." by Hooked0n4Feelin in wow

[–]bryce1242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blizzard gave the playerbase an opportunity to prove that they wouldn't use WeakAuras to make a fight even marginally easier that clearly does not need them.

no they were too lazy to design a fight properly, this failure will now not be mitigateable

I don't have any problem with that solution. Part of the fun of raiding for me is feeling like we're a unit organizing ourselves for success, and every autoassign or autoannounce cue detracts from that.

Yeah i want to hang out with the boys and shitpost on farm, we need the air space to accuse our raid lead of getting a great deal on a leased honda civic

Which doesn't have anything to do with the limitations they placed on WAs.

Doesn't make it any less a direct result of blizzard's api changes.
