[karmic kindle]

Bold of you to say the Horde are evil.

They're like, chaotic good, at best.

Yeah, point. xD

The Horde are just very loyal to their leaders.

Because they give decent gear and exp.

[frigid forge]

Alliance hands aren't very clean either

[karmic kindle]

True.

Yeah but for Alliance it's different.

They don't replace leaders like underwear.

So I'd say the Alliance has more trust in their leaders.

[frigid forge]

No, it's just a common misconception. People are more likely to assume things for the better the more those things are like themselves. There's, like, an episode about this in every animated series from the 80's and 90's not even kidding

Well

Okay

So that's not a fair comparison

[karmic kindle]

I just hate how Hordies always bring up Camp Turajo when discussing the Alliance's atrocities. Uhh, excuse you and your entire faction? The Alliance didn't know they were leading those people to danger.

[frigid forge]

Because the Empire was literally made by an evil dude specifically to serve himself and to cave in and collapse without him in an ultimate bid of narcissism and ego

[delicate compass]

ayyy yall telling me the whole storyline

i m just maxed out at lvl 20

[frigid forge]

Talking about star wars

[delicate compass]

-_- bruh isn't there a star wars server or smth

[frigid forge]

And how Nypheena's example was bad

[karmic kindle]

This is the off-topic channel, so.

Anything works, my dude.

[frigid forge]

It's the casual-offtopic channel so...

[delicate compass]

oh yah

but then

WHERE IS THE ONTOPIC

lmao

[karmic kindle]

Yes.

Literally, everywhere but here.

Xd

[frigid forge]

Maybe read the server rules and description and glance at the list of channels

[delicate compass]

i wasn't meant to... nvm

[karmic kindle]

You weren't meant to read?

Oof.

[frigid forge]

Sorry I don't like it when an actual child tells me what to do lmao

[delicate compass]

🤦

idk if jokes affect u

[karmic kindle]

Only if they're good, trust me.

[frigid forge]

You didn't even know what channel you were in, you can't call it a joke

[karmic kindle]

Just take my word on it.

[delicate compass]

well as u c

idk which channel i was in then

[karmic kindle]

E.

[delicate compass]

then the ONTOPIC thing was a joke

[karmic kindle]

Didn't land.

[reef snow]

[north verge]

why is it when someone famous is called out its for the exact same shit

its always something sexual

[wise leaf]

Because money

Cause you can’t sue people without money

Well…you can but you ain’t gonna get much

But also because rich people think they can get away with or buy anything

[north verge]

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/may/12/elon-musk-praises-chinese-workers-for-extreme-work-culture Expressing approval for Chinese workers "dedication" shows how dangerous his influence is

[hasty fable]

He's "batshit insane".

[jagged valve]

I have pulled a 24 hour day before, but it was my choice- not being forced to sleep at my workplace.

[hasty fable]

It's always toxic and bad to force the way you work on others, feeling that because you can, they should. And here, yes, they are forced.

To call that good is a severe underestimation of their real conditions.

Just hopping on my PC to deal with it

[timber crag]

jesus, it's in every channel

[buoyant tangle]

yeah it was last night too

its so random bc its like, a pizza discord? nothing wow or boosting related like we usually see

[timber crag]

it's probably a server where when you go into it your account can get stolen or messaged by a bunch of scammers

[heady wedge]

I just hope no one here clicked the link and stayed safe.

[glossy heart]

Isn’t Diablo immortal the one where the guy said “Is this some out of season April fools joke?”

Or am I thinking about something else

[hardy forge]

Its that one yes

"Dont you guys have phones?" Is the meme quote

[glossy heart]

Is it still a mobile exclusive?

[wise leaf]

Nope, it’s launching on PC with controller support too

[glossy heart]

That’s good to hear

[hardy forge]

It was advertised for the longest time to be mobile exclusive, but i guess they turned around last minute on it

[modest canopy]

I'm planning to buy a subscription

[modest canopy]

Any opinions

[jolly nexus]

Try it and if you enjoy it

Continue playing

If you don’t then don’t spend any more than you need to

Would recommend retail/shadowlands if you’re new

[modest canopy]

1 sec

[modest canopy]

whats that

[jolly nexus]

It’s the most up to date/current version of the game

While classic and classic tbc are both included in the sub, I wouldn’t recommend them for newer players since it’s a very old version of the game

[modest canopy]

im a macos user btw

[jolly nexus]

Pretty sure it doesn’t make a difference

Since you can run the game at lower settings if ur pc struggles at all

[modest canopy]

im gonna make a female avatar XDD

"communist socialism" is a big reason why my mom was able to successfully raise both my sister and I, while being dirt poor- we never went hungry or wanted for anything, really

a family friend in his 80's just got a pacemaker after a week long hospital stay- his medical bill was the Impark parking fees at the hospital when my mom picked him up

[jagged valve]

It's crazy, I have a good friend that lives in Austin, and broaching the topic of universal healthcare is like flipping a light switch, "I am not paying for anyone else's hospital bill!"

[sleek fossil]

It's culture and upbringing.

[jagged valve]

heaven forbid they take money away from the NRA and gun manufacturers

[sleek fossil]

I am sure they do already through taxation.

Same in the UK, the NHS is in a bad way but not really because of money

too many people, not enough clinician's / pointless middle management

I worked in the NHS for 5 years and had to leave due to culture, other team members and pay

Yeah people openly racist towards me, telling me I was too white to work in the department etc

manager tried to fire me because I reported a failure and someone died, made her look bad so took me through HR

Yup indeed.

Funnily enough it was the NHS IT department that made me leave.

It was a similar situation to the one you described. Also people physically fighting etc

Yup, they paid contactors to come in and cover a short fall in staff. They were just idiots and got into physical fights over minor disagreements.

Yikes

I don't even bother with IT anymore, it's just awful and attracts the worst people.

It wasn't fun, put me off public sector. Trying to stay self employed so I never have to answer to anyone again

They said Immortal will be the biggest Diablo game yet, but I'm losing heart, seeing as Diablo 3 is still going. Maybe it's been 10 years, but it's still holding up gameplaywise. Despite the numerous annoyances.

I mean, its being shown that immortal is going all in on the mobilegame greed
Raid shadowlegends style
But besides that, this surely isnt concerning at all /s

People do care about that as well, but its always a case of "are the players informed its ring0" "is the game good enough for players to overlook ring0 anticheat" etc,
Valorant had a big stink for ring0 anticheat, as well as genshin impact

And that post is not even anticheat related either, its about camera access

Apparently my phone isn't compatible with Diablo Immortal. xD

Guess I'm not playing it.

Doesn't really matter, I plan on buying a new one soon, since my battery scarcely lasts 7 hours.

Always told to suck it up or " you clearly enjoyed it"

[karmic kindle]

So, how about them gaming topics?

[reef snow]

It's because society shames men for being victims of abuse whilst women are taken seriously every time and the media runs with it

[reef snow]

This is gen off topic, not just gaming

[karmic kindle]

Double standards and all that, but is it really constructive to bring up abuse when victims may be in this very server, reading this?

It may bring back unpleasant memories.

[reef snow]

"Do it Johnny, tell the world, see who believes you," Amber heards own words

[wise leaf]

I mean, tbf they both lost. Just he got more money

[reef snow]

?

[wise leaf]

But I’m glad he ended up being ruled by the court

Both of their reputations are tarnished by this making both of them a liability to be hired. It’s a no win case. Is all but I’m glad it wasn’t open and shut male was the abuser female was the victim

[reef snow]

Doubtful

[reef snow]

10000% disagree. Johnny came out of this not as a Saint but clearly a victim and the court of public opinion on his side

[karmic kindle]

Consider that everyone knew Johnny was an alcoholic and what have you. All of Amber's "clever" arguments revolved around Johnny being a substance abuser.

"He got drunk and hit me, waah!"

Cries crocodile tears

[wise leaf]

Oh 100%

[karmic kindle]

No doubt.

[wise leaf]

Literally like 99% of celebrities do drugs or drink. They’ve got the money to “fix” problems why wouldn’t they?

I never watched them since I have a phobia, but the memes were enough.

Just. Large bodies of water. Eugh.

I expected something here.

https://tenor.com/view/get-wet-wet-pirates-of-the-caribbean-davy-jones-ha-gif-17865873

This, precisely.

[fresh osprey]

I’m willing to bet Depp is going to sue over not being in the newest pirate movie. The fact that Disney dropped him because he was accused without proof that he was actually in the wrong definitely means he could sue for lost income if he wants to

Not because he wants the money but because otherwise Disney will continue to instantly drop people over allegations even without substance

[wise leaf]

And if he does that and wins he can’t accept the role back

[fresh osprey]

I imagine it would be settled out of court actually

And one of the conditions would likely be him being back in the movies

Assuming he wants that

[wise leaf]

He can either win and get back into the movies or win and get lost income from winning are really the only two outcomes I see

[fresh osprey]

I’m honestly expecting the new movie to be a flop. I only watched them for Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow

[wise leaf]

He literally made the movies

So how many times do you think Disney has called Depp today?

[jagged valve]

The kind of abuse that A. Heard was alleging is hard to hide, and Depp never struck me as a serial abuser. Was it a toxic, volatile relationship- for sure.

[jagged valve]

I didn't watch all of it, but I found it particularly damning when she said she had a broken nose

time and place is all you have to go on in the law, and I felt her explanations were lacking

are u guys liking diablo immortal?

[sleek fossil]

Yeah I love it, when you complete dungeons you're rewarded with the option to spend money. It's fantastic game design

[jagged valve]

p2w with loot casino design? I don't mobile game, and own diablo for PC

Hearthstone is bad enough

even though I can play HS for free with my milions of wow gold, i don't cuz itz shit

[sleek fossil]

So is WoW but I play it anyway

[karmic kindle]

I don't play Hearthstone because I don't have the patience for turn based games.

hearthstone is barely p2w

so easy to make gold or just get dust for legendaries. and has been that way for a while

[radiant kiln]

Look at all these familiar people

[radiant kiln]

The problem with Hearthstone is that it's quite good as f2p..... If you farm gold hard enough between expansions

Which basically means hitting every daily and weekly quest for 3 months

If an expansion drops and you're behind, you're way behind the meta

[outer quartz]

How is diablo immortal? Is it really p2w?

It is flat out impossible for you to get higher than 2star gems without paying,
But he can play for himself and see how they shove a microtransaction in his face every 30 seconds

[radiant kiln]

If you don't want to push ladder/competitive stuff in diablo immortal, just don't spend a penny on the game and you're fine.

But you absolutely can get a massive advantage over other players by throwing money at it. Like a very very big advantage

To get to where the whales can be in week 1, would take a free player something like 44 years

Though I heard they made some of the gains faster in late beta so it's not quite that bad now

To get a full set of max rank 5 star gems in every slot, is several thousands of dollars or many many years of F2P. Unless they majorly changed that in the past few months

[hardy forge]

What are these then, if not popups of microtransactions
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/645738078920507395/981979136602030160/unknown.png
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/260539358891868161/981979340164182056/unknown.png

[radiant kiln]

Well people spent real money in the beta so.... Yeah it's pretty bullshit of them to do that. Lol

Oh don't touch the beginners pack, it's utterly worthless unless you want the weapon skin

There's nothing you can buy for 60 gems

800x value my ass

[hardy forge]

Lets assume that is the case, and they dont show automatically,
Its quite vile that they go "oh you completed content, what a great time to spend some money"

[radiant kiln]

You can swap them for some platinum. That's about it

To roll all this back......... DO NOT engage with the store, do not bother with competitive ranking, and the game is easily played for free and is quite enjoyable

[hardy forge]

Oh definitely, P2W is only gonna get worse and worse until legislations are made like for lootboxes in belgium,

Saying "its just like every other mobile game" doesnt mean its good in the first place and its also the "its normalcy" argument

[radiant kiln]

The more the community refuses to pay what they're charging for things the faster it'll change

[wise leaf]

tbf its not a random loot box so they flat out tell you what you're getting and that's what all those lawsuits were about

[hardy forge]

I believe the RNG is in upgrading items to my knowledge, like lost ark honing

Casinos are infinitely more regulated than games, thats a false equivalence

As a matter of fact, underage people cant enter casinos

But they can gamble in games

It does make a few major differences in a few key points,
% chances are regulated so they cant go under a certain point,
And the most important point being that minors cant play in casinos.
You know, the very easily moldable part of the population

[wise leaf]

well minors shouldn't have free access to their parents money either you want to blame other people for that or the parents?

my parents gave me $20 a week to do my chores and whatnot throughout the week they didn't care what it went to at the end of the week

but if i had the credit card and could spend it endlessly (within limits of course) of course they would be mad af

[hardy forge]

Both the game for not putting in adequate warnings and such,
(Not all parents are tech savvy so they might not even know there's microtransactions)
And the parents for not keeping an eye on their child stealing their credit card etc

[wise leaf]

then its a teachable moment for both the kids and the parents then

when statements come in and they learn their son spent 100s of dollars on a game

also if your billing it to your phone you get emails everytime you buy something on their so you'd learn much quicker than say the max of 30 days

[hardy forge]

1% still better than what EA got outed for doing which was in the ballpark of 0.0001%

[wise leaf]

yes but the internet has not been around forever and not available for everyone like it is today

[hardy forge]

To the point that employees from inside EA were selling single cards for thousands of dollars to players accounts and it costed much less than getting it legit

They then got busted in 2019 i think

[wise leaf]

and that's why "loot boxes" today have to tell you straight up what you're getting and not the old " you could get"

or just don't gamble with money you aren't willing to lose

looks at D:I cosmetic system

pretty sure their all exclusively shop only

well there's some cosmetics in there the good lookin ones

the only thing i don't like about the cosmetics is they aren't account wide but character specific unlocks

[compact ferry]

Yeah, I never got the whole "but the children!" argument. Like...why does your kid have access to a credit card? And if they do without you knowing, Overwatch skins might be the least of your worries. 😄

I can't believe the AH in D3 got ran out of the game, and people are gobbling this up.I am gold capped in wow, and like fuck will I spend a cent on or install D Immortal

[wise leaf]

I just don't get how people can get so worked up over "Pay to Win" in a largely single player game with little to no competitive elements.

It's like complaining that your neighbors car is Pay to Win.

Non sequitur

No, not at all.

ARS technica is what I would consider a more balanced, objective review site https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/06/diablo-immortal-impressions-a-good-smartphone-game-saddled-with-f2p-nonsense/?comments=1

[compact ferry]

Don't get me wrong, I don't like how scummy F2P microtransactions often feel, but I can just play the game without them or not play at all.

Not to mention how equally scummy subscription based games can be, but that still kinda flies under the radar.

[jagged valve]

I think its interesting that Metacritic has no user reviews yet, and only a few website reviews

[compact ferry]

To be frank I think the bigger criticism of DI so far is that it seems awfully familiar.

[jagged valve]

Pretty galling you can get a boon for $9.99/month in DI. This is a litmus test for things to come in wow.

[compact ferry]

Well WoW already locks you out of content, character progression, or anything else unless you buy the $15 boon every month.

[wise leaf]

Isn’t the boon just a extra marketplace slots access to marketplace anywhere and another “daily chest”

[compact ferry]

You love saying that, but I'm not sure you know what it means. 🤔

[reef snow]

A conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

[compact ferry]

Yes, which that was not. It's not even a "conclusion".

[reef snow]

It was indeed

[compact ferry]

That's...not what that word means, either.

"D:I charges MTX and WoW has a sub" is not a conclusion.

If I had said, "D:I has MTX, so WoW must be going F2P" then that's a conclusion that's also a non sequitur.

[spring heath]

[reef snow]

It is a non sequitur. It has no logical relation to the conversation, it's just a random statement.

Thus, a non sequitur.

[compact ferry]

And that's not even what non sequitur means.

[reef snow]

^

[compact ferry]

If you want to say you don't think it's relevant, then that's fine.

Your own definition disagrees with you, you just don't seem to understand what a conclusion means in this context.

A simple statement of fact is not a "conclusion".

[reef snow]

Nope

[reef snow]

"Conclusion or statement"

[compact ferry]

And something "logically not following" does not mean "not relevant".

[reef snow]

Please, read past the word Conclusion.

[compact ferry]

Like you literally don't know the definition of any of the things you're talking about.

Logically not following is, "D:I has MTX, so WoW is going F2P"

So the mother that the police cuffed who then rushed into the school in Uvalde to save her 2 kids and 2 classrooms was threatened by the PD with a parole violation if she spoke to the media. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/mother-who-ran-into-texas-school-during-shooting-discusses-moments-inside/

to serve & protect

[fresh osprey]

Yeah the Uvalde stuff is all sorts of BS and the FBI is supposedly investigating the Police Force so this isn’t going to help them

It might be a year before there’s any resolution from the FBI though. That stuff moves slowly

[jagged valve]

Unfortch, this is PD's all over NA- not just in Texas

Watching Arredondo squirm when questioned, he's this close to saying "well, ya know those kids knew what they signed up for!"

how do I mute the @ everyone thing ?

Getting pinged in a gaming community asking for donations to something is kinda weird, feels like I signed up for a marketing list

[frigid forge]

Grow up.

[sleek fossil]

Attacking my character and I am the one who needs to grow up, amazing.

[frigid forge]

You're upset about a fundraiser--run by the people who run the discord--for a charitable cause. Your character is already in question.

[sleek fossil]

Correct, I wanted to be here for the games rather than asked to donate to causes

can I mute an @ everyone on specific channels ?

[frigid forge]

It's the wowhead discord mentioning a fundraiser run by wowhead. If you don't want notifications, disable everything including @ mentions

Or idk leave

[sleek fossil]

I want to keep the mentions for the latest news etc

can you mute specific channels, been looking and can't find it

[hasty fable]

Are you new in the usage of Discord in general? Your account seem old.

Thing being, as Gumball have said, you can only disable everything for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with funraiser, Wowhead is used many times for this or researches studies, third-parties.

[sleek fossil]

Been around a while just used it mostly for social rather than servers.

ill just disable everything in that case

[hasty fable]

Yes, muting a channel or server doesn't mute everyone so must disable everything.

Hey all
quick question:
i played till 60 and raided a bit in p1 in classic, if i haven't done anything since then (haven't payed my sub) what happened to my char?
is it on a bc server now or how does this work?

[native burrow]

What starter you guys will choose

[timber crag]

You could just leave. Easiest solution

[sleek fossil]

Yeah 2nd time someone suggested that. Ideally I would like to stay for the WoW content.

[native burrow]

@ everyone

[timber crag]

Cat

[sleek fossil]

I mainly wanted to mute certain notifications and told to F off basically.

About right

[wise leaf]

I mean it did come shortly after a fundraiser and not the sweepstakes that was the day before. Also how hard is it to just clear the notification and move on with your day? And you specifically said you don’t want to be “asked for donations”

Also another thing would if you didn’t want people to react to this poorly you could have just googled it instead of asking the community to which you don’t want to support but expect us to just help you ignore fundraisers for perfectly fine organization.

[sleek fossil]

Right, I mostly use discord for my business purposes and not really into server's so didn't really understand why I was getting a ping for donations. I didn't think it would be a controversial take to try figure out how to disable a ping is all. Clearly I annoyed people based on that and I apologise.

I didn't know it was standard for servers to ask for fundraisers and donations.

[wise leaf]

Yeah, I mean it happens. Sometimes donations/fundraisers are posted if deemed in good faith.

[sleek fossil]

Right.

[wise leaf]

Also it’s the internet sometimes things don’t always translate well

[sleek fossil]

You know what, I should probably take my leave in that case. Clearly messed up, I will just use the WoWhead website etc. All the best.

[wise leaf]

I mean, I wasn’t trying to be mean. Just trying to help clearing it up for you

Asmon did an entire stream today, showing just how absolutely busted you can get spending money

[jagged valve]

A NetEase game slathered in a thin veneer of Blizz polish

[wise leaf]

The boon IS the extra space. FYI cosmetic being locked to one character is rough but also didn’t they say we will be able to swap classes at some point?

Yes. The plan is to have one character for all classes

Anyone else having the problem with wowhead.com that i keeps asking about the cookies?

I keep accepting or denying and it keeps asking it again after each new pageload

[sharp sandal]

thanks Sas, but shouldn't i have this issue with other sites to then?

[little ermine]

some sites still take your cookies even if you say no (depends on your state laws though)

so like for example, a site can say something like "we take cookies of your session to better your experiences bla bla" and you can either x out the pop up or click accept, either way the cookies are taken for your session. Its just saying that it is taking them

[olive brook]

Lets be honest, why are you guys still playing wow? Just curious

[frigid forge]

Because it's fun and I've been a fan of the Warcraft universe for decades?

[olive brook]

I will always confused why paladins had a combo point-like system in cata

I liked the old templars verdict animation

i think the pride sticker should be for everyone

wouldn't we want everyone to be proud of being able to advertise for equality and respect ?

[frosty tundra]

What do you mean? How is it not available for everyone?

[quartz sail]

like for 5 $

[frosty tundra]

It would cost more than that to ship it outside the U.S.

[quartz sail]

is it just because of the price of making it that puts the limitation

damn

but inside us it should only cost 2 $

[frosty tundra]

The sticker, magnet, etc. are just bonus addons when certain milestones are reached. The shipping cost doesn't increase when you include them with the pin(s) already being shipped with $25+ donations.

[quartz sail]

nvm if your on the coast its expensive

[quartz sail]

ok thats nice

[wise leaf]

as someone who used to handle a lot of shipping things. shipping prices are more than just whatever fedex/usps/ups charge you. consider the box, any bubble wrap, and tape used in packing the items and also the time it took to put together these packages and whoever is doing the labor

This is one of my favorite reviews because it’s so funny that they are complaining about fake review but then also admits to doing the same thing.

I wish all reviews came with time played like steam reviews

[frigid forge]

Constructive criticism? In this economy?

[reef snow]

Oh boy, we defending the disgusting P2W in Immortal now? :O!

[wise leaf]

Yeah the completely optional P2W “barrier”

Don’t want to spend money? Cool! Then dont?

Kinda pretty easy to just play a game and enjoy it for what it is

[frigid forge]

If you don't want to spend money, you can just not spend the money

[wise leaf]

But no it’s the hip then to do is to complain on the internet to get YT clicks and monetize the shit out of it and rake in cash for making clickbait titles

[fresh osprey]

i mean - is DI particularly egregious? sure. Is it playable without spending money? I'm pretty sure. Are there games with the same malicious stuff? a whole bunch.

this is getting shit on because a lot of people who normally dont play mobile games are playing this

genshin impact is honestly just as bad

[frigid forge]

It's definitely playable without paying for it, just grindy and RNG kinda blows, but other than that it's just more Diablo

[fresh osprey]

the fact is, there are games that are just as bad and just as popular on the market

they just dont have the same audience

again - genshin impact

i wanted to try GI but then i saw the p2w aspects and its only single player like why you making SP such a struggle

[frigid forge]

It's too JRPG for me, personally

[wise leaf]

i like the feeling of earning a mount but i've never lorded myself over other because they've missed out

like most of the legion exclusives are cool AF and i wish i still played in legion but that's like the benefit of playing the game

[frigid forge]

WoW's "timed exclusive content" is a very low percentage compared to attainable content

[wise leaf]

how so?

Malicious? That's a bit strong

[wise leaf]

and? you knew that when picking your class?

[frigid forge]

Each spec only had four appearances, more locked behind achievements. Druids have animal forms and weapon transmog and a rideable flying form

[wise leaf]

and now you have more forms

there's four you can't get anymore?

just like other classes artifact weapons

and that's a downside to playing druid. for you

[frigid forge]

Aside from when they were announced and the Mage Tower was released? Like when they did it with mythic challenger gear in WoD? And like they did with challenge mode sets in Mists? Your assessment is both inaccurate, inviable, and doesn't take into account already-existing relevance

[wise leaf]

yeah i'm sure they are out there trying to hurt people because they can't see their transmogs

[frigid forge]

It's not malicious. It's an incentive for people who are actively playing the content

[reef snow]

lol

[frigid forge]

There's a difference between subjective opinion and objective fact

[reef snow]

Imagine defending predatory, malicious, disgusting monetizations

[wise leaf]

lol

[frigid forge]

Oh go play a panda

[wise leaf]

imagine only coming in here to talk BS

[frigid forge]

Objective fact is in fact not opinion lol

In what way was my listing of previously existing trends and reviewable data a subjective opinion

Alright, I'm not entertaining this narrative

It's not malicious

They're not sitting there tapping their fingers together maniacally plotting to psychologically harm people who don't play the game

[wise leaf]

imagine not getting any incentives to play, how many people do you think would log in and play the game?

[frigid forge]

If there's no incentive to log, why log

[wise leaf]

you'd log in do content once and then never again

then queue times for others would go up and then they would cry its a dead game and noone plays it

see the thing is i don't want it because OTHERS don't have it i want it because i want it

not so i can in 5 years go "hurr hurr look at this mount i have peasant and you don't"

[frigid forge]

You also have to take into account that those challenge modes that these rewards are from were designed and tailored with mechanics from that content's patch

[wise leaf]

there's plenty of OTHER things to earn when its no longer current content?

i don't see a problem with making some things exclusive to current content

[frigid forge]

Because the preexisting challenge is no longer relevant. There's a difference between someone who have the Liberator of Orgrimmar title in September 2013 and someone who got it in March 2022

Also, oh my, why in the world would a subscription-based service want to incentivize people to play and stay subscribed?

[wise leaf]

yes, it does lol

[frigid forge]

Your entitlement is showing

Fr

I'm done lmao

[wise leaf]

sometimes i wish i never found this discord

because limited time item means people are going to want it and sub to earn it

[frigid forge]

The "I want it I want it it's not faaaair" is really a common problem with a lot of modern gaming

[wise leaf]

didn't think i'd have to explain that

because its a timed exclusive my guy

stonks would go down

[frigid forge]

You're complaining about an incredibly small percentage of content that's unavailable versus all the content that currently is

Do you have the current season aotc mount? Have you out in the work for a vicious saddle?

[wise leaf]

oh lord what 11 mounts an expansion hes complaining about?

[frigid forge]

I'm done trying to explain my point, since you refuse to accept anything other than your own opinion. I'm done trying to argue my point

I've listened to your argument and I find it without objective merit

K

[wise leaf]

lol i don't think you've listen to either of our points but go on with your bad self

[north verge]

o - o glad i cooked food

[frigid forge]

More convo about wow in casual channel than the retail channel anyway lmao

[north verge]

man this is good food tho

proud of myself

[wise leaf]

my point, timed exclusives get subs. makes for a healthier game eco-system (more subs more players, less queue times) exclusives make happy chemical in brain when do a "good job" which is why some people like doing timed things. subs go up blizzard is happy, servers stay on.

[north verge]

idk why no merge already

i think its actually a wowhead curse, u talk in wow u accidentally go offtopic and if u talk in here u accidentally talk about wow

[wise leaf]

no timed exclusives, no reason to sub until end of expasions (complain no catch mechanics for people behind) ((makes people mad)) no subs longer queue times, no profit no servers, no servers no money for blizzard game shuts down

then you don't sub or go for timed exclusives? cool good for you

thats it

[frigid forge]

You'd think that with WoW's longevity and relative popularity, people would take its tenure of a functional business model with more merit

[wise leaf]

that's you're own issue not mine

[north verge]

jellousy

jk

[wise leaf]

nope, people only know how to complain and then complain when someone else is having "fun"

idk, something about timed exclusives?

[frigid forge]

Gamers are the worst thing about gaming

[wise leaf]

says you, but that IS your opinion

[north verge]

if they bring everything including tcg mounts to be obtained in the game then i wouldnt mind of exclusives coming back but ik that aint happening so 😏 ima be selfish and ask for more exclusives if youre still talking abt WoW exclusives... if not then im stupid

[frigid forge]

*are

[wise leaf]

this is weird now since you're not really "talking" anymore persay

[north verge]

no ones talking we're typing

[wise leaf]

wait you don't talk outloud when typing?

[north verge]

i talk in my had

head

only if im not thinkng abt gay robots tho

[frosty tundra]

eh, it's a targeted campaign against the game because Diablo fans, which are overwhelmingly PC users, dislike mobile games and the inherent monetization system of mobile games themselves. I would bet the vast majority of the ~3k user reviews are by people who haven't even played the game.

That said, Blizzard/ATVI is targeting a new generation of players with this game and I'm not sure it's really intended to appeal to old school players.

[frigid forge]

With cash shop blinders on, the game itself is pretty fun. It definitely feels like more Diablo

User reviews are becoming increasingly unreliable the more people are on the internet, unfortunately

[frosty tundra]

Yeah I've enjoyed it, I spent the 99 cents on the welcome package or w/e but that's all I've spent at the moment. End game might be more tempting but I have no interest in maxing out my gear to be the best in the world or some crap.

[karmic kindle]

I was definitely a bit confused when the appstore showed "Your device is not compatible with this version anymore"

That "anymore" there made me raise my eyebrows. Two days later, the game works.

[frigid forge]

I think I might throw a wow token into it, honestly

[frosty tundra]

And why not? I'm sure you've paid money into most games you own, right? lol

[frigid forge]

Too much x_x

tfw never returned 2077

Now that I think about it, the last time I returned something was in 2012

I rarely regret purchases

[karmic kindle]

Well, you do support publishers and developers you like with your money, right? So pirating games kind of mocks their work.

That's how I see it, anyway.

Returning games usually means massive disappointment.

[frigid forge]

I mean there are entire arguments to be made for content accessibility when it comes to digital piracy, but you should definitely endorse things you like. Sales = success to a lot of bean counters, so if you want a spotlight on quality content you throw money at it

[karmic kindle]

Correct. Very much so.

[hardy forge]

I usually pirate the game first(if possible,aka not online) then if i really like it, i buy it to support the devs, so i dont have any purchases i regret.

[reef snow]

100% disagree

[reef snow]

Yup. My thoughts exactly.

[frigid forge]

You can't say 100% when targeted review bombing is a thing that exists

sorry not sorry. had to make this 🤷‍♀️

[serene zenith]

Ew Diablo Immortal merch

[frigid forge]

If you don't want it, don't buy it

[serene zenith]

Let it fail

[quartz vale]

Ping to shill Diablo Immoral merch was the last straw

[frigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-felicia-friday-shoo-go-away-gif-14533158

[serene zenith]

No, we're all right, it needs to fail hard

in order to save D4

Just like that mobile game

[glad grove]

.... but... diablo imortal is that mobile game...

[serene zenith]

No the new one

[wise leaf]

I’m very confused, other than name why do you think the two are connected?

[glad grove]

Pokemongo?

[wise leaf]

Oh it seems you’re just against mobile games in general

[serene zenith]

No, we could have had WoW on iOS or android instead

or blizzard auto chess

[wise leaf]

They’re talking about arclight

[wise leaf]

No we really couldn’t

[serene zenith]

We totally could though, it wouldn't even be hard

[wise leaf]

Besides why would you want WoW on mobile instead of a new game?

[serene zenith]

Would probably bring more people back to classic at least

[wise leaf]

Spoken like a true dev

But really whatever floats your boat I guess, keep up the hate

[hasty fable]

Mobile games are cash by default.

[wheat sonnet]

morning

[wooden relic]

yoooooooooooo

[sullen goblet]

Why are all the diablo posts having their comment section locked?

[hardy forge]

because people dont like the diablo mobile game

[reef snow]

Well no, people like the game, but have an issue with the disgustingly predatory and malicious monetization

[fresh osprey]

You mean the mobile game monetization? Almost all mobile games of this scale are like this

Just to be clear - that doesn’t make it okay, it just doesn’t make blizzard the most evil monster people want them to be

It makes them a run of the mill corporation

[sullen goblet]

So rather than have voices be heard about it, locking comments makes the bad experience go away?

[hardy forge]

Yes

[sullen goblet]

I guess that makes sense, kinda works like those horse blinders where they can only see the thing in front of them

[hardy forge]

That is definitely how the wow community works

[reef snow]

Sorry, but it makes Lost Ark blush.

[hardy forge]

Inb4 "but lost ark is a pc game" 👀

[reef snow]

Kekw

[fresh osprey]

That is actually part of it though

They expect you to play Lost Ark more per day

They expect you to play D:I around 1.5 hours per day

On average

[reef snow]

There is zero justification for the level of monetization in D:I

[fresh osprey]

There’s zero justification for most micro transactions

They’re shitty

DI is bad, so are most mobile games

[reef snow]

No. D:I is the worst of them all.

[fresh osprey]

XD

No it isn’t

That’s actually hilarious if you think so

[jolly nexus]

gacha games

[fresh osprey]

^

They’re way worse

Some games you could spend over half a million and still not have everything

Why do you think Genshin Impact is so profitable?

It’s also F2P and definitely P2W

[frigid forge]

Emotional arguments frequently use overly exaggerated statements, especially ones that treat subjective opinion as objective fact

[fresh osprey]

Genshin made $245 million in its first month

DI won’t make that

It still averages around $175 million per month

And they’re releasing two new games

That will probably also make that much

They’re just as egregious if not more so since they’re also Gacha games

DI is gross but it isn’t a Gacha

You don’t spend money to get 10 legendary weapon drops and then find that all but 1 are low quality or duplicates or both

[reef snow]

Excuses for disgusting, predatory, malicious monetization.

[fresh osprey]

As I’ve said - it IS disgusting. It just isn’t the worst one. I’m saying that people are overlooking the much worse games because this is their first time seeing how predatory mobile games are

And that as much as people rightfully should call this out, don’t blame blizzard like they started this - they aren’t even the worst offenders

[reef snow]

I just dont agree. This game is worse than Genshin and Lost Ark with its monetization.

[fresh osprey]

You’re factually wrong

[reef snow]

That's your opinion

[fresh osprey]

Everything this game does Genshin does as well

And it’s also a Gacha

Except for the boss killing loot boxes - those are from other Chinese/Korean mobile games

Genshin doesn’t do those and I REALLY hate those

Those remind you about the micro transactions. Tbh, I think if DI didn’t have those, it wouldn’t be as apparent how malicious it is

[plain vortex]

Always hold your head high

[quick quiver]

thank you!
