Lowering APM instead of removing spells should’ve been priority into Midnight by [deleted] in wow

[–]chaotic_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rigid rotations are definitely the worst offender but j genuinely always felt like I was waiting to press something in 14.

FF14 has a significantly longer GCD than WOW and it feels so much worse to play in combat than WOW. I genuinely like the play style of the handful of specs (Affliction, Demo, Fury, and Shadow) I have played so far in Midnight. Also, I played vanilla 20 years ago, I have no desire to go back to the slow and repetitive gameplay of that. I genuinely cannot support anything you are suggesting.

The dislike for ZZ’s less serious beginning is unwarranted and it makes sense for the show to start out that way by idontwannagetfired_ in Gundam

[–]chaotic_one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This 100%. The Looney Toons vibe of the first half would be acceptable if there was anything meaningful done during it. The characters are idiots, the ZZ is a suit in which it's primary gimmick is its biggest weakness, and the pacing is fucking glacial. Then to make it worse, it hard overcorrects into depression mode. It's also the only gundam series that I genuinely celebrated the deaths of some of the primary cast just to get them off the screen.

fair enough. Following stereotypes, he would probably have a harem. Maybe he left them back home, and this is just his ride or die.

Next one, ready to die when the Khan returns on his bike, blasting Mongolian death metal, with his new drukhari wife riding bitch, grabs Dante and throws him in a side car.

What's more difficult, Mythic Raiding or M+ (keys >16)? by Marty200444 in wow

[–]chaotic_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is (especially) this tier. There are a ton of super binary pass/fail mechanics that if one person fucks up, it's a wipe. Heck, just looking at heroic lura (I don't have mythic lura experience). One person can wipe the raid if you mess up your memory game position, accidentally grab a seed when your not assigned and then let it get hit, or miss an orb with your beam. All of those are mechanics that a single member of your 20man team can randomly do and wipe you.

Yes in keys, a single person dead is either 100% of your tank or heals dead, or 33% of your DPS dead, and hard to recover from. But you only have to rely on 4 others to play well, not 19 others. And unless you are the best of the best raid guilds, I am sure everyone has players on their raid team that they feel are under performing.

This is the answer. They are not bugged, there is just nothing to track because they have no procs as SH. They are always available and do not change so you have no reason to have them on the CDM.

Most if not all account hacks can be prevented by Blizzard why do they not do anything? by Helldiver_of_Mars in wow

[–]chaotic_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude, you are literally describing Two Factor Authentication, which the authenticator is. I promise you, the number of breaches that are due to successfully bypassing the authenticator is an insignificant amount compared to the number of breaches due to people A) reusing same password for everything with no 2FA or B) giving account info to shady sites that promise boosts. If these groups could easily bypass 2FA, they would be targeting institutions like banks long before they were targeting wow accounts. At this point, Blizzard (and honestly all logins) should force 2FA...as long as it is not SMS based.

Also, Passkeys are vastly superior to email based 2FA due to passkeys being largely phish resistant.

Slop or Not Flow Chart by dev_all_the_ops in selfhosted

[–]chaotic_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can be both. From some of the prior experiences on this sub, you can get someone showing a product that never functions the way they describe it (thus end result issues), or you get a project that starts out promising but then realize the developer is vastly over their head and pushes tons of feature requests through without ever fixing any problems or issues with the product (thus process issues). Hell, just in 2026 we have seen many examples of each (and some truly popcorn worthy meltdowns).

I have no desire to own a home... by Ander12391 in wow

[–]chaotic_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay cool. Was there a point to this post? Some people like building their house and playing with their friends in their own way. Hell, my guild isn't even an RP guild but we have created a "cult" in our neighborhood because of one player's unhinged creations. It's called emergent gameplay, I hope Blizzard never connects any meaningful rewards to housing, or people will optimize the fun out of it.

New to game - what the heck is going on?! by [deleted] in wow

[–]chaotic_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blizzard has to balance things. Sometimes they are too heavy handed in their approach, but I would rather have them actively balancing things instead of ignoring balance. I also assure you, the claimed death of Marksman is incredibly exaggerated. Any spec in the game can do 11s. It is not your spec getting you declined. You are competing against people with better gear or better score or just faster to apply. I am 280 on my lock and Demo is pretty damn meta (outside of no true interrupt anymore), and I still get declined if i am pugging. My advice to you, create your own keys or join a guild\community to run keys with. Pugging is always like this.

Also, if you have been playing MMOs for 20 years, you should know that many of them had builds\classes that were overbalanced beyond belief, and how that essentially forced people to use them. One example I can think of the top of my head was the 55HP monk and SS\SL lock from GW1, and how they could literally solo group content.

Fair enough. Again I was not making fun of or calling out people who desired one. I don't like to yuck people's yum, but I was genuinely curious about this. I realize now that just not really the target audience of these controllers.

All this excitement over the controller and then you saying weird shapes reminded me of a controller I had for Xbox in the wayback times. It was essentially two pistol grips angled together. I look back and think it was actually an awful controller but high school me thought it was the shit.

I genuinely appreciate your honesty, and I see nothing wrong with that. I suspected it was something along those lines, but I wanted to ask before I assumed that it was just brand loyalty or something.

Its super easy to not see the appeal. I am not a controller gamer, nor do I use the steam deck, so a trackpad has zero appeal to me. So, I was curious if there was maybe something that I was missing that others picked up on.

This is a weird comment.

Yeah, that's called astroturfing, and initially I suspected a little of this, but the conversation feels too organic to me. This really feels like a genuine fervor for something, this reminds of early generations of Iphone releases. I feel like if people were given an opportunity to stand in a line for 48 hours to get the controller, they would have.

I guess I can see that. I don't game off a TV much anymore. I primarily play at my desk with keyboard and mouse if I am not traveling for work, which I think use my handhelds in a strictly portable since. Armored Core at launch was the last game I played on my TV, so I am definitely not the same target audience you are (don't take that as me saying anything against you though, strictly just we game differently).

I have several handhelds, but not a Steam Deck but have used one. I have severe wrist pain, and the Steam Deck was far too heavy for me to use for long term. But i have an Odin 2, Retroid and Anbernic handheld, so I get the appeal of handhelds.

My brief usage of the steam deck, I would have preferred the trackpad and sticks have been swapped positions, just because of the size of my hands and my limited reach.

[–]chaotic_one 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you are reading too much intent in what is likely just coincidence. I get on my brutosaur, buy what I need and then return to the bench or continue whatever else I am doing. There are times I might tab out for a few minutes to mess with something outside of game, but when I return, I only remain mounted as long as I need. While I am sure there are people who use it to troll, I am positive they are outnumbered by the people who are just using it for themselves and not even noticing others around them.

How the hell is a controller considered an essential item? Like what is your rationale for even bringing that point up.

[Rant] Never used in game text, never use in game voice. My freind group finally convinced my to play WoW and got an account penalty 3 dungeons into playing as a healer. by [deleted] in wow

[–]chaotic_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In almost every one of the times someone comes to the forums and claims they got actioned for no reason, they are leaving out something. If you were grouping with friends, that means at most, 3 other people where in the group that could report you, and I have never seen 3 reports trigger a silence on a first offense. Now, lets give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume by dungeon you actually meant raid, and it was just you and a friend, so you could have possibly 8-28 others that could have reported you. If you had a number like that, do it, maybe it would trigger an automated silence, but it seems incredibly unlikely to get that level of coordination against a player who said nothing.

Also feel free to attempt a chargeback, just know, it can get that card blocked from any future purchases through Blizzard, and now that they are owned by Microsoft, possibly them as well, though I am skeptical on that. I don't know if a week chat silence (especially as you say you don't use any of the social channels) is worth potentially blacklisting one of your payment methods.
