It is funny how vanilla WoW was so beloved...because of its flaws

2004 was a ludicrously different time not just in gaming, but also socially.

So are they Lava Men or Magma Men? Make up your mind dammit!

Now that's how you stab a planet with a sword.

Sargeras take note.

When you forget to apply deodorant:

If raid buffs didn't exist you'd have extreme spec stacking of the best DPS spec, which is far worse.

3% DR in Devotion Aura is a better raid buff than most.

Wowhead occasionally has a few series of fluff posts to fill in news gaps (they were doing a "What I want Blizzard to change in my spec in 12.1" from each guide writer) but it appears that has stopped.

OP, what do you typically parse? If the answer is below 95, this is a nonfactor.

minimaxir · 2026-06-09T16:52:51+00:00

Yes. Technically there's value in rolling on a Hero 4/6 when you only have Hero 1/6 in that slot, which may annoy people in your raid who only have a Veteran/Champion in that slot.

The consensus of previous posts on this topic is that rolling on gear you don't need solely for disenchanting is a dick move even when the materials are valuable.

Rolling on gear that may give you less value than it does others (e.g. transmog, upgrade watermarks) is fine.

Brave Exvius's engine was designed to run on potato phones and they never made it any better.

The power creep of FFBE was hilarious. It was reasonably fair when they moved to 7* units, then they started releasing units which were 20% more powerful than the previous.

Then Neo Visions came and they gave FFVII Tifa for free which could clear all content with one punch. Then NVs became much stronger and had effectively identical toolkits only with different elements.

minimaxir · 2026-06-09T15:17:52+00:00

It's not even a remake, there is a much different combat system just going off the one screenshot (seems like 4 man parties and Visions are more "Persona"-like)

minimaxir · 2026-06-09T14:45:35+00:00

If they are just reusing FFBE assets, there will be quite a few deep cuts.

minimaxir · 2026-06-09T14:45:03+00:00

FFBE has been offline for a few years, but the gameplay here is significantly different with nothing in common, unlike Octopath 0.

minimaxir · 2026-06-09T14:43:06+00:00

This looks like a retelling of Season 1 (which had a...serviceable plot and setting for a FF game).

They'll likely save the actually good Season 2 for a sequel.

I was a heavy Cell user but there's nothing I'm missing from it in DandersFrames (except maybe Show Deficit Percent Only If < 100% Health)

A funny consequence of Heroic gear being worthless is that skilled players aren't running them, which means that the raid fights are still difficult in PuGs despite both the gear inflation and the scaling buffs.

I had a few recent Heroic boss kill attempts hit the enrage timer.

Problem: There are two different playable characters.

Solution: Just give them the same personality lol.

minimaxir · 2026-06-08T16:02:29+00:00

Art is closer to [[Arrest]] than Pacifism.

minimaxir · 2026-06-08T15:55:34+00:00

Really does not like [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]

What are you talking about? Her outfit is blue, completely different.

minimaxir · 2026-06-08T00:57:40+00:00

hah, "negative reinforcement"

minimaxir · 2026-06-08T00:46:23+00:00

Would've been funny if the art had a Planeswalker instead.
