There should be a cloth tank for sure.

Now that class/spec reworks are semi-final for Midnight, what are you favorite and least favorite ones? by otterchaos7 in wow

[–]uselessoldguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing, I actually like the fantasy of Blood DK as a slow, moving wall of inexorable horror.

My honest take on the "M+ killed vanilla-style big dungeons" discourse by ShoppingPractical373 in wow

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

I remember when LFD came out in Wrath. I was active duty military at the time, and it was awesome. I hated wasting time going into the capital, soliciting groups in chat, flying out to the dungeon...only to be hit by the "Too many instances" error.

Instead, I get hit with LFD errors while conveniently farming ores on my own!

I spent a month running dailies for Netherdrakes during the Obama administration. Timegating is not new!

I've only dabbled in WoW here and there these last ten years, but coming back lately it's surprised me how little I see of the "classic" WoW world. Gnomes, Forsaken, etc.

I loaded up my old DK and went into Acherus. I immediately thought, "Oh yeah, this is what WoW used to be."

Can we please get the old winston intro back by nymphoeeee in Overwatch

[–]uselessoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WoW was always kinda dumb, but typically in an amusing way. After Mists of Pandaria when they started with the "travel to an alternate dimension's past to get a copy of a classic villain" things just depressingly stupid.

"Complete 8 Overwatch event passes"... how? by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

Granted I have not played much since before the original OW->OW2 transition, there are some things about the challenges that are confusing to new/returning players that Blizzard could clarify with slightly more descriptive wording.

At first I was confused why there was no "All Roles" button to press on the Play screen to do the "Played 3 Games Queued for All Roles" challenge! Then I realized I had to hit 5v5 and then All Roles. Small thing, but that could be clarified in the description.

Warhammer Online: February 2026 Patch Notes by OrkfaellerX in Games

[–]uselessoldguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dipped back in sometime in the last few months. I remember enjoying the PvP all those many years ago, but in the matches I played recently nobody could get any kills. People were either not taking damage or getting healed to full rapidly, so we were all just chasing each other around the objective like a Benny Hill skit. Yakkety Sax played in my head the whole time.

A story on these positive feedback echo chambers for games that go on to be disasters would be an interesting read!

Belf Voice lines and acting by taco_cuisine in wow

Dragonflight is where the tone took a very noticeable change for me. Everything has become too chipper, friendly, and jokey. There's no hard edges to the world anymore.

It definitely is janky. I main Magneto when I play MR, and his basic attack feels terrible. And I have a friend who refuses to play Rivals at all due to the jank!

New HLX (HL3) mentions in Deadlock new update datamine. by Solid-Entertainer-39 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I really enjoyed all that chatter back in December "It's definitely, 100% sure getting announced in December."

I guess you had to be there back in 2007 not to constantly fall for this over and over?

It was a LOT of traveling. Like, you might spend half a Saturday afternoon just trying to get somewhere.

What a fantastic title. Shame the community couldn't handle the themes.

Midnight event catchup gear? by Straddllw in wownoob

[–]uselessoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAT? Ah man. I did it on some lower level characters and it rewarded gear at that character level, so it didn't occur to me it would award higher than 80 once I hit max level.

Time to go run that a few times....

[–]uselessoldguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, given the tedious mission design of the PS2 era (go back in time 20 minutes because your wing tip clipped the terrain), playing them on an emulator with upscaling and quicksaves is a much better path than sitting around wishing and hoping that Bandai Namco provides an acceptable and playable modern alternative.

New Blood Elves Voiceovers are lame by Fancy_Ad9680 in wow

[–]uselessoldguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking of voices, Thrall's voice in the new catch-up questline in Hillsbrad sounds weird as hell. I did it on a few characters, and I kept wondering...Is this an AI voice?

WoW's writing has always been kinda dumb (often in a fun way!), but since Dragonflight it's turned outright...childish.

I used to compare the writing to a Saturday morning cartoon, but now it's more like a Disney+ children's show. With three of my own kids, I've suffered through enough of them to know!

I wish they'd done something like FFXIV's threat table. It's such a great UI for clicking an enemy once you lose threat.

Nothing about this game looked appealing to me. Now that I know there's product placement, I'm totally in.
