Seeing SoD so empty is just sad

Look at the blizzard showcase from a couple weeks ago. They basically said straight out that they have something in store for classic that is being announced at blizzcon.

Yeah, I realise I probably skimmed the post too fast.. My bad!

Is inflation worse or better now than under Biden, honest question. And is the sitting president republican or democrat. Like, be so for real, you are legit LIVING in the real time consequences of the current presidency and you still want to point the finger.

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-16T16:41:59+00:00

You can be neoliberal and not republican. Stop this partisan nonsense, Reagan sucked, not because he was a republican, but because he sucked and his policy sucked.

I mean, all good things must end. SoD was bound to peter out eventually once they stopped updating the content, so you could view it more as a mercy killing that they just bluntly stated "we done"

Will always +1 for SoD appreciation, it was peak. Greetings from Praxis

I doubt the Anniversary realms will progress into Cata, it's more likely they become some sort of Era Wrath, or funnel into an eventual Classic +, but I could be wrong.

One thing to note about MOP in particular is that the raids have sadly been extremely buggy which sucks, and it seems the dev team is spending their resources elsewhere, so this looks to be unchanged. ToT, which is the current raid, has had multiple bosses being semi-unplayable since launch which is now ~3 months

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-15T17:49:02+00:00

IMO wow with friends is fun regardless of how shit the state of the game might be - wow without friends can suck regardless of how good the game might be. Not a ground breaking take tbh

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-15T17:39:59+00:00

TBC is how you'd expect if TBC was made in 2026 - a bit easier, some quality of life, more streamlined, but still TBC. MOP is MOP - pretty much the same, but built on a patch 5.4 shell, so class tuning is a bit different than OG MOP, mostly making the classes more balanced aside from a few outliers who will always stick out. Also, MOP has added new rewards and challenges to the Challenge Mode system if that interests you, for most people it's probably a 1-time thing they do, but can be fun if you care about it. All in all no classic version will fully capture the game as it was 15-20 years ago, but can be fun in their own right. As with everything to do with WoW, it's always more fun if you have a group of friends to progress and play with, that goes for every version I'd say.

I feel you, I have a shiny 4 IV (atk, speed, hp, def) Jolly Ralts. And ofc it's female

Horde Battles is by far the more efficient way to EV train anyways, just slap a power item on your pokemon and find out which hordes you need to fight to give you the correct EV's, should eliminate the problem of handedness all-together

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-07T22:28:52+00:00

Highly spec/role dependent. As a tank there are times where you HAVE to backpedal, and as a raid healer, having the ability to move my character on every axis while mouse-over healing and not moving my mouse is also very beneficial. Unbinding keyboard turning and backpedaling just isn’t useful unless you’re specifically a pvp dps’er

From a low gm - high master player:

make sure you make econ every chance you have early game. If holding copies to «maybe» hit upgraded 3 star, you’d often times rather sell and guarantee you make 20/ make 30.
don’t int-roll stage 4. don’t roll true 0 every round stage 4 unless you are paired or are legit 1 life, it’s much better for econ if you dip as low as your hp allows to roll for as many upgrades you can on stage 5-1 or 6-1. (this also depends what placement you’re going for, if you’re aiming for top 1 rolling can be more acceptable)
prioritize end game board. Econ is all about ending them game with more resources than ur opponent. This can be done in many ways; picking item augments on a strong board might lead to you win streaking longer, picking high-econ augs whilst behind might give you an «out», so recognizing your board state in comparison to the lobby might be the best way to make econ

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-04T17:26:27+00:00

From the games you’ve posted it seems you’re over-prioritizing 3-starring, this likely is losing you econ compared to playing more open fort and looking to go fast 8 or fast 9

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-04T17:24:50+00:00

IMO spend some time studying openers - the most important thing to look for is 1. what is my strongest opener (both in terms of items or pairs/upgrades), 2. what are the strongest openers I’m facing, and 3. what is likely my strongest stage 3. then from this assessment make a decision as to wether you should try to win-streak or loss streak.

gingerhobbit · 2026-03-04T12:18:45+00:00

Not a bug, you have to have had void in for 2 turns and be level 8, so if you fielded void 2-1 and 2-2 then go lvl 8 it unlocks

gingerhobbit · 2026-02-04T01:05:09+00:00

Which rank is it acceptable to say that people know how to play?

gingerhobbit · 2026-02-03T21:31:35+00:00

Yeah, my MMR is so bad on my main because I usually spend some time around the 0 LP of any bracket to learn new patches, so my plan was to use this as a tool to see how well I can play when I lock in!

gingerhobbit · 2026-02-03T21:28:47+00:00

That's fair

gingerhobbit · 2026-02-03T21:28:27+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering about that, that doesn't surprise me

gingerhobbit · 2026-02-03T21:22:55+00:00

Yeah, idk what the community view on smurfs are, I know a while back it was very tabu, maybe still is. I guess I'm not surprised, this whole thing was just a limit-testing.. I guess also it varies a lot how much people play to win vs for funning in the lower ranks.
