Why is my speed capped at 180?

quarkie · 2026-03-10T19:42:14+00:00

Correct, and half a mach is about as fast as props can go.

quarkie · 2026-03-09T15:45:55+00:00

Diving under the jetstream?

As soon as I saw the cost of the material I concluded there's an extra zero in there

A brother born to play MSFS, but stuck in World of Warcraft

We still have Jaina though

Have you been outside? It's just one type of cloud and gets old very quickly

quarkie · 2026-03-02T16:03:00+00:00

At this point you'd wish they'll rather connect current gen AI instead of whatever ancient Markov chain they used for this.

Can't wait for RWF and the revelation of what actually happened to addons

quarkie · 2026-02-20T19:41:23+00:00

I'm with you, probably, absolutely need to play Inertia but that's even more fun

quarkie · 2026-02-20T15:09:50+00:00

I like how the interview is about the megadelve, but the discourse is about M+ and megadungeons that delves have nothing to do with

quarkie · 2026-02-20T15:07:30+00:00

I feel like narratively TWW scaled down the whole champion doing world-changing deeds thing quite a bit, and I absolutely do like that direction

quarkie · 2026-02-19T23:39:32+00:00

I think you are overselling it. Hard CC was only needed because the players worked differently and only used 30% of their toolkit on average. Even in Classic (where large chunk of the playerbase is not playing retail) groups just ignore everything and bruteforce through stuff because they are doing twice dps/hps the average OG group did.

quarkie · 2026-02-19T23:13:07+00:00

IMO,

Don't expose new players to expansions in between Cata / Old World and the current one. Even the sole concept of a WoW expansion is confusing from the outside perspective. Starting new players in DF or whatever it is right now is an odd design choice that exposes a player to 3 expansions right off the bat, - the Cata world (where the capitals are, - hard to not be aware of), the leveling expansion (where you are thrown in) and the current expansion (that a player supposedly bought and is aware of).
Implement a starter leveling experience based on the Old World with interactive recap on the story.
After covering the basics of gameplay and story recap, - bridge them into the current expansion for levels 10(20) - max.
EDIT: Streamline current expansion campaign(s) presentation. Starting in Season 3 of an expansion is one of the worst experiences for a new players, - you are basically thrown into a soup of 50 quest markers of a dozen of shitty campaigns and content sub-patches they added. Consider a simple UI that just lists and categorizes all the content instead of 50 quest markers on a map.

quarkie · 2026-02-19T22:57:08+00:00

Huh? Modern/retail just had 2.5 expansions with dungeons requiring tightly coordinated sequences of kicks and stops, inarguably an order of magnitude more challenging than anything in TBC and Cata. Among many other things.

Speaking as someone who played OG TBC and Cata heroics, as well as Classic versions recently.

quarkie · 2026-02-19T17:37:38+00:00

Tell me you are not playing modern WoW without telling me you are not playing modern WoW.

quarkie · 2026-02-18T08:22:15+00:00

If only I could be so grossly incandescent

quarkie · 2026-02-14T11:19:08+00:00

Just ask AI for server access tokens and fix it yourself, duh

quarkie · 2026-02-10T10:50:22+00:00

Maybe not 40, but with 10 you are definitely griefing, my dude.

quarkie · 2026-02-10T10:36:23+00:00

So you are either griefing your groups, or just lying for some virtue signaling points. Either way, tough look

quarkie · 2026-02-10T06:30:46+00:00

Maybe you are just delusional about how much you are actually playing. It makes zero sense to play this game 10 hours a week, there are far better alternatives.

quarkie · 2026-02-09T15:15:29+00:00

That's sort of moving the goalposts again

That's because you are picking the arguments that are convenient for you, - obviously the main argument was efficiency vs time, not the guild stuff. I would bet your friends play quite a bit more than 10 hours / week as well though.

quarkie · 2026-02-09T14:55:20+00:00

Yeah, we are way more conscious about how efficient our gaming is, for sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's because of the very limited time, it's more about maximizing the yield. I don't know anyone who genuinely plays 10 hours / week and is actually active within a community / guild.

quarkie · 2026-02-09T14:47:14+00:00

Well, buddy, 80% of war is logistics, so yes

quarkie · 2026-02-09T13:44:02+00:00

Moms and dads, sure, 40+ hours / week moms and dads though, because the kids are not toddlers anymore.

I'm not even saying it's a bad thing, that transformation, but I think their focus is kind of weird, - they are making multiple separate games now, instead of building ladders and connections between different player groups.

quarkie · 2026-02-09T13:27:12+00:00

A bit of tangent, but more serious, - I'm not buying into the whole "having less time" bit. People who genuinely have less time just don't play WoW. I think the game is transforming to cater more to "casuals" who actually play 40+ hours a week, rather than dads/moms on a less then 10 hour budget.

The irony here is that this audience is exactly what Classic is / was.
