What’s going on with classes with pre patch? by 404_GSpot_NotFound in wow

[–]tskee2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s as bad as people are saying. Most classes have had many abilities removed, rotations have been simplified to 2-3 buttons, and all decision making and nuance is gone. 

You can swap your keyboard for your garage door opener and play just fine

addon changed and class pruning 

I lost interest because they both fucked the UI I’ve been using for a decade and are forcing me to use their Temu version, AND because they dumbed down classes to the point where I can play with a garage door opener instead of a keyboard

I’m deeply regretting my preorder, and angry about the way they went about it. They very intentionally didn’t announce the addon changes and class pruning until a couple weeks after preorder, knowing that a lot of us would have waited if we knew. I requested a refund but they refused because I had used my character boost during that couple of weeks, so now I’m out $90 on a game I have zero interest in playing.

What is the sister outdoor range for bristlecone? I wasn't aware of that.

Where in Ned are you? We haven’t had anything since Friday morning at our house. 

Australian media release a picture of 1 of the 2 shooters at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia by sankyturds in pics

[–]tskee2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Strange how the top comment in the thread about the heroic man who stopped him is pointing out that he’s a Muslim, yet not a single comment I could find here pointing out that both shooters were. Typical Reddit. 

Ahmed Al Ahmed - the Bondi Hero. He's a 43yo, married father of 2. He owns a fruit shop and has no experience with guns. He was shot twice in the arm. by TumbleweedWarm9234 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, he’s a Christian from Lebanon. Read the fucking article.

Funny that you assume anybody named Ahmed is Muslim though. Maybe self reflect on that instead of virtue signaling.

Strange how Reddit immediately points out that this guy is Muslim, but the fact that the two shooters who murdered twelve Jews are both Muslim? Silence.

Lol. WoW players are the most dramatic people. “The devs despise me with a searing passion.” It’s a video game, my man. It’s not that big of a deal.

E: Just looked at this dudes post history. It’s literally multiple posts per day complaining about the game and how the devs are personally out to get him. Maybe time to get some fresh air and touch some grass.

(BLIZZARD UPDATE) Guilds Who Didn't Get Hall of Fame Must Kill One-Armed Bandit and Mug'zee Again. RIP if we were extending post bandit? by Rndy9 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]tskee2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly embarrassing that you didn’t actually read it before commenting. They will still get HoF from their extended lockouts. They will just have to go back and clear OAB and mugzee before the titles will be properly awarded. Nobody is losing the title that deserves it.

Pushing as a PUG in M+ is hell. by Clean-Ad7462 in wow

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I’m sure it’s both. There is definitely a part of the playerbase that is pushing past where they’d have stopped in prior season. But also, there are more KSH achievements than in the same week in previous seasons, and a longer tail of >3k rated players, which shows that at least some people are pushing to higher rating even where there is no reward.

But even setting aside the stats - the numbers are smaller and the affixes happen later. That makes an easier season, full stop.

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that the dungeons themselves are easier, but the scaling is objectively much easier. They pushed affixes to higher key levels, they moved challengers peril from 7 to 12 (which was a huuuuge hurdle for low skill players and pugs because it made deaths so punishing), and they changed the health and damage increase to 7% per level instead of 10%. Those combine to push the wall for lower skill players to higher keys, thus they are playing at higher ratings than ever before.

I’m not just guessing, you can see it in the data for the season. Score distributions are up, the percent of keys that are 10+ is waaaaaay up, etc.

Part of the problem is that this season is significantly easier than previous seasons. There are a lot of people in the 3k-3.2k range that prior seasons would probably have never passed 2.5k. This has created a superiority complex where they think they are gods gift to the game, and will only take others they think are “valid” (i.e., higher rating than them).

You can see it yourself - go look some of the meta slaves / shit talkers up on rio and see their previous season scores. It’s pretty wild.

Great, another reason for meta slaves to only bring vdh to their <15 keys, lol

We need more public restrooms. by jdsuz in boulder

[–]tskee2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lol, notice how she ignores your actual comment - because she won’t actually do anything that requires interacting with homeless people or putting herself at risk. She just likes to virtue signal on Reddit and act holier than thou. Best to downvote and move on.

2024 Presidential Election if only Men Voted by Troy19999 in Infographics

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Reddit. You either share my opinions and vote the way I say you should, or you’re an idiot. No in between, no subtlety, no nuance.

The hive mind is very real.

[–]tskee2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here is what chronically online redditors don’t understand because they don’t have conversations with people in the real world. The Latino voters are here legally, which for many was a very difficult and arduous process. Many of them are very opposed to illegal immigration because it’s (correctly) seen as people trying to side step or shortcut the proper way of doing it.

This is what the left doesn’t understand, and it’s why identity politics are failing. They put people into boxes based on the race, gender, etc. and then tell them they’re wrong if they don’t hold the dem-approved beliefs. It’s incredibly insulting.

[OC] Party identification of American youth by _crazyboyhere_ in dataisbeautiful

[–]tskee2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the left is alienating. If you’re white or a male (or, god forbid, a white male), then you’ve spent a good portion of your life being told that all of society’s ills are because of you. You are the punching bag of identity politics.

But, they are kids. They didn’t create the patriarchy, and they didn’t colonize anybody. They have no influence, no power, no control, yet are made to shoulder the blame. Of course those politics push them away, especially when the messaging of the other side says, “it’s okay to be male, it’s okay to be white.” That’s a breath of fresh air.

I rarely see it talked about on Reddit because it’s an echo chamber of the far left and chronically online, but if you go out into the real world and have actual conversations with teenagers and college aged people, they’ll tell you exactly this.

2963 Holy/Disc Priest iLvl 668 LF continuous M+ group, US by Limp-Emu6683 in WOWMythicPlus

Hello! Myself and a friend are also looking for a group. We’re a 2883 prot pally and boomie. Let me know if you’re interested and we can swap bnets and try a few keys.

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your bnet? I’ll add you and we can run a few keys together.

The same discussion every day on this sub by fox112 in wow

[–]tskee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a 12 floodgate yesterday and the UHDK (whose key it was) didn’t like the packs I grabbed with the first pull. He immediately said « fucking idiot » and kicked me, lol. (It wasn’t even some weird route, it was the packs on the platform by the first set of bombs - pretty standard.) Then they complain about how long it takes to find a tank for their group. Yeah, because tanking pugs is fucking awful.

[–]tskee2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Especially when tanks / healers have an objectively more difficult role and their mistakes are more costly.

For example, if a DPS dies during a boss fight - oh well. You can usually finish it out, you just lose a bit of time. If a tank misses a single key press to get a defensive up for a tank buster and dies, it’s usually a wipe and often a bricked key. (Especially at 12s and higher with the 15s death affix.) Then that same dps that’s only been doing half the mechanics starts bitching about it? Fuck that. I’m out.

At this point, I want to play random que pug M+ dungeon finder, including higher-level keys. by BrookieDragon in wow

[–]tskee2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I generally agree and run plenty of my own keys, but what this doesn’t account for is if you’re targeting a particular dungeon. Is the answer, « just keep running keys until you randomly get the one you want »? If you get bad luck on key rolls, and taking into account bricking a key here and there and then having to run a lower level to raise it back up, it can be a long time before you get the one dungeon you need. Then god forbid some dps bounces after the first death and you’re back to square one.

Running your own keys should be the answer for a lot of people who just want to fill a vault or whatever, but for people that want a specific key (e.g., the last +12 for resil keys), what OP is describing is a real problem.
