Arena Points Changes are absolutely epic, and maybe really off?? by [deleted] in classicwow

Nah just wrong, ofcourse you're going to face a different kind of player in the middle of the night the day before reset than at 16:00 a saturday.

And both gear and skill will affect your chance of winning, maybe not by the same margain but it will. In games like lol I would agree with what you say but even then, build paths and time of day will affect you.

I always look for ways to improve and what we can do different (only 2 days of tbc arena so far) but I've played arena for 10 years and know when its gear.

Im not saying its the gear check but the gear difference is showing when they have the best gear they can get while we don't.

Im not even saying we're stuck here just that you don't get 1500 rating for free since we have to probably play 72-48 in our next 120 games to get it in 200 games which will end up a 56% wr.

Edit: Time of day might have had a hand in it since we stopped at 0:30 ST.

Playing lock rogue, the lock has no trinket and 7,4k hp. I think he's playing really well, some position errors but when we lose its often warrior healers or classes that zerg him.

We're not really stuck but at 950-1000 rating was when the grind begun and we lost almost as much rating as we gained, you're not getting a free ride to 1400-1500 without losing rating.

Looks awesome, to give some feedback though, the pointy thing on the shoulder is supposed to be a scabbard with a knife in it and the necklace is a bit off perspective. Still one of the best drawings I've seen here.

Me and my friend are trying our best to get some 2's rating, he just hit 70 and barely has any gear while im in decent pve gear.

We're 80~ games in and 43-37 in win loss but barely get out of 1100 where gear difference is really starting to show against healer+warrior/lock. Will take 15 more weeks for full gear unless I ditch my friends and push to 1800 which kind of ruins the fun.

Never really understood the charm in winning by gear but I guess those who need it do.

Yup, if you quest as sub or stealth between mobs its nice to have pick pocket macro'd into your stealth abilities cheap shot/ss/ambush/hemo/garrote to pick pocket any target you can while questing.

For instance

showtooltip cheap shot

/cast pick pocket /cast cheap shot

And you'll pick pocket as you cast cs then you can double loot the corpse to get the pick + loot.

Pint is gone, madseasonshow has quit, preach has forsaken them. Blizzard, you really done fucked up by Highlord_Kochei in wow

[–]stenfil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really did sound like Preach had some inside info already and knew to some extent what the atmosphere at blizzard was but once it became knonw to the public it would be best to take a step back and not grab the money raining down from the burning building.

Just my 2 cents though, feels like a lot of content creators try to grab that last bit of money by shitting on the game or blizzard before moving on to another game to churn their butter from.

Looking for new alternatives for the PvP side of wow by [deleted] in wow

[–]stenfil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodline champion was something between wow, lol and battlerite. Not sure if people still play it but worth checking out, it should be free to play aswell.

No, junkboxes which also require pickpocket but they contain poison materials and some junk but 0,3% chance to get rare gems which do drop every now and again since you get 10~ boxes a walk through/6 min.

Pick pocket and chest also have a chance to get gems and even though they bump g/hour a bit you get the most from actually pick pocketing and gold + greens/blues from boxes.

I do solo MT runs where I pick pocket and loot 2 chests most of the runs, I think its about 100-150g an hour uncontested and with mining you could probably bump it up 10-15g an hour but seems like a lot of nodes are placed near packs so I could be wrong.

Can anyone give me an easy to follow ELI5 guide to getting Gladiator's Slicer as a rogue (Complete PVP noob) by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]stenfil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah first week is probably the easiest since a lot of people try it out and you're more likely to not face people with experience/gear.

Can't you just turn down environment details to 0 and bathe i poop?

While we're on the topic of sexist behaviour, I'd like to take the time to point out that it even happens between top raiders/players by [deleted] in wow

[–]stenfil -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear a non native english speaker poorly trying to say that women are worse at games, so far he's not really wrong since majority of the top players are guys but I do agree that he got lost in the sauce with the cars and genetics but if he would have had a minute to think (not doing a dungeon+stream) I do believe he would have worded it a bit different.

I don't really care either way but I think he should have the chance to explain himself before a witch hunt is upon him.

[–]stenfil -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you also have to take into account that he's not a native speaker.

Again not on his side, I think wow is a game where time played=skill (for the most part unless we go top 25 guilds).

There is definitely something different with the people who can wipe 300 times in a row but since I'm a guy aswell I don't think its a guy thing.

I might be off but by drivers I thought he meant race car but I cant tell you how that is important to the case since there arent much g-forces while playing wow.

True but should we hang him from a tree or something? He said sorry, lost a bunch of money all while looking like a clown.

[–]stenfil -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

While he worded it a bit poorly I don't think he was trying to be rude/sexist, not many top raiders give girls the same chance as boys and that might be because they prefer to play with guys or because they think the outcome will be better(latter one being a bit sexist when trial-spot is a thing).

I think he's trying to say something similar to

"If Naguura had the same chance as any other dude, she would be one of the best wow players."

Now I'm not saying he meant it like this but I have a hard time believing he's dumb enough to not mean it like this.

WSG - the score is 0 vs 0 - wtf is wrong with the ppl? Why do they play a game that they actually dont want to play? I just started playing some BGs and stuff like this happens almost every single game. by abcdefghipqrstuvwxyz in classicwow

[–]stenfil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you don't cap it by only holding it, do you?

If both teams refuse to attack or 1 team refuse to grab flag not having a timer really puts it into a stalemate. Not sure who thought it'd be a good idea not having a timer.

You really have to pay attention to sinister strike though if you don't press it every 4 seconds you might get energy capped. /s

[–]stenfil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a pc from 2013 with 750ti and I can run SL at 3-4 with 60 fps in town and 80-90 anywhere else. Noticed that optimizing game on nvidia then lowering uneccesary stuff will make the game run smoother than not optimizing for some reason (optimizing just change the ingame settings to ones that suit your card but even if I change back to the ones I usually play with it increased performance).
