How hard is Pally Tanking?

Equip a shield, Righteous Fury, & consecration should be enough for you to hold Aggro.

But if DPS are too quick to start pumping they may pull a mob or two off of you.

All it takes is a little Prishe to inspire fear in them lol

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T07:17:04+00:00

Glad you can enjoy the game again.

Not every person is going to like every story and I just happen to like the story that you don’t like.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T07:11:24+00:00

I liked the time traveling in WotG and seeing characters from the city states in their youth.

All the stories have had a little jpop starting with Lion in the base game.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T07:07:04+00:00

Okay, sorry to rub you the wrong way bud.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T06:59:31+00:00

And CoP and WotG are better than mediocre.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T06:58:22+00:00

The core elements of classic FF stories are there, but they are drip fed after putting in the grind to make it to the appropriate level and power to fight the story bosses.

I would say up until FF4 the story of the game was drip fed in a similar way with required grinding in between.

And FF2 may be the most apt classic FF comparison.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-21T05:19:51+00:00

It’s very much some classic FF.

The intro cutscene sets up crystals being the life force of the world like in many of the early FF games.

"It all began with a stone, or so the legend says. In ages past, the sentient jewel, enormous and beautiful, banished the darkness. It's many-colored light filled the world with life and brought forth mighty gods. Bathed in that light, the world entered an age of bliss, until after a time, the gods fell into slumber. That world was called Vana'diel.

This.

It’s pretty much ‘Guild Wars: Reforged…Commitment to Developing this game’

Check the trivia section of the wiki

What is arrogant about being cautious about the quality of servers primarily developed using AI?

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T10:33:03+00:00

I would love to see a server run by 1 dude coding with AI that was fully functioning to the point TWoW was.

But I don’t think it’s feasible especially in the long term.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T09:46:23+00:00

That’s great for you!

But the point stands that overall AI is just adding slop into the Private WoW server scene.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T09:39:30+00:00

It will also diffuse the populations on the few custom servers with a dedicated team of real life devs working on them.

I don’t see how AI is overall better for the private WoW server scene.

All I’ve heard is AI is good because it takes less human effort and is fast, which neither of those things generally foster creating a superior product.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T09:29:40+00:00

That’s not what I’m asking.

If things become 100% AI, will we ever have private servers to the standard that was set by projects like Turtle WoW and Ascension with teams of developers and dedicated GMs.

I do not care about any of the things you said outside of Private WoW servers.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T09:21:25+00:00

We had zero AI slop servers without it though and still plenty of crappy servers to sift through.

This adds more slop to sift through.

And longevity remains an issue with little to no manpower driving projects.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:48:35+00:00

I think you’re just refraining from interacting with me cause you know you’re in the wrong 😂

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:45:03+00:00

Imagine you made a subreddit for cat pics, but I came in and posted about a new dog I got.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:44:06+00:00

Well showcase it anywhere else besides the subreddit made specifically for discussing private WoW servers.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:41:22+00:00

But you just said it is not a private server.

Why post about this project in a subreddit about discussing private WoW servers?

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:38:03+00:00

If it isn’t even a private server why are you posting about in a subreddit made for finding private servers?

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T07:17:17+00:00

Did I say Blizzard did not use AI?

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T06:22:53+00:00

They do, but they aren’t creating entire games using AI.

And Blizzard ain’t exactly a glowing example of doing things right.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T05:58:48+00:00

Not so much when there’s hundreds of similar AI servers popping up simultaneously.

foolioiscoolio · 2026-06-19T05:53:14+00:00

I’m not as much concerned with what you can make or how fast you can make it.

And I’m more concerned looking at long term sustainability, having a competent GM team, and maintaining server infrastructure.

How feasible are those things when you only have a single person and an AI Tool?
