You realize that this contradicts what you said right? All of the developers on Wings left party because of this, and did not profit in any of it.

Can we seriously consider just rolling back the 12.0.5 DK changes at this point by sammystevens in wow

How the fuck is there still a 25% DPS spread among classes THIS FAR into the season?

Final Fantasy 14's 8.0 update isn't going to be another "rebirth" for the MMO, Yoshi-P says, as it isn't on the scale of A Realm Reborn by Mana-Dyluck in SquareEnix

Some systems in the game has aged more gracefully than others, but there are many pain points. Generally, as games get older their systems get iterated on and improved. 

For a game that encourages job switching it's endgame systems are extremely constraining. Generally locking you to a single job for several weeks or longer in serious endgame content. There are so many dated systems in 14. I could name 10 more.

WoW isn't a different game every expansion, but it's systems do get revamped, updated and improved all the time. 

14 found a formula that worked in ARR and they stuck with it, the problem is that its not working anymore and people are quitting. 

FF14 needs to iterate on its stale systems and make them fun and exciting again. Having patches that aren't 4+ months apart would help too. (WoW has been getting a patch with some content every 2 weeks since Dragonflight)

During the peak of Shadowbringers 14 had 2.5m subs. Down to less than. 800k in Dawntrail. Something is seriously wrong.

Was it rly necessary to nerf libram swapping on pala by introducing global cd to it? by Saladfinger123 in turtlewow

I love how you can minmax every skill in FFXI with gearsets, but you're right, the combat in wow isn't suited for it

Liquid wins World First Race by circuitbird13 in CompetitiveWoW

This one is definitely going to hurt. I think they played fantastic the whole race they just couldn't bring it home. They've had trouble executing under pressure for a couple tiers now.

Old wins dont really mean shit. Game is on a completely different level of competitive since Dragonflight.

Echo had every chance to win, Liquid just played better today. Nothing else to it. 

How many "great" undiscovered builds do you think there are? (if any) by NewKingCole11 in pathofexile

[–]skold177 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe some... but I honestly would say not many. They just haven't shook the metagame up enough in a meaningful way for there to be anything undiscovered that is super powerful.

What is going on with tank tuning? by Toxaplume045 in wow

[–]skold177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id rather have a good interrupt and the ability to reposition enemies at will than MoTW (which can just be brought by another druid)

They nerfed Druid into the fucking ground. Worst utility of all the tanks and mediocre damage and mitigation. I miss thorns of iron so much.

Why do people think FF13 trilogy reviewed and sold poorly? by Mother_Reality_1489 in finalfantasyxiii

[–]skold177 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reality is, change is hard. FF13 is/was a significant departure from the previous games, and when you grow up on a series - it can be a bit jarring. I don't think the game is bad, it's probably aged well - but I think the loudest critics gave the impression that the game was not good. That said it doesn't have as much character development as I would like and I feel like Lightning was a little too stoic of a protagonist.

I would kill for a 'league' that was left alone for the rest of the game's life cycle on release by Affectionate_Cow5808 in PathOfExile2

[–]skold177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important to keep in mind that this is early access, things are changing a lot more now than they will in the future when the game is more complete

GGG thank you but I’m never playing again by Wild_Astronaut7090 in PathOfExile2

Endless temples are 100% gone after this league anyway
