farseer seems a bit bruh as well for shaman

warm topaz
#

missed potential are def the words to use here

#

they need to do a rework with monk like they did with paladin

deep pawn
#

Celestial is better thematically

#

Shado pan is fine but flurry attacks has massive issues with dps vs tank hp balance

#

Shado pan is just to vague a concept I think

#

Given they have fighters if all disciplines

candid ruin
tight wagon
#

it’s finally tomorrow

deep pawn
#

Is she expecting issues with the downtime?

candid ruin
#

the real surprise will be if this all goes smoothly

#

hope they'll be able to fix issues within hours and not days Prayeg

dense plover
#

its about patch notes

#

jeez

#

theyre gonna tell us what the secret is

deep pawn
#

I'd rather not get any notes

warm topaz
#

im so excited!

vernal juniper
#

I'm not, I think the big deal will be 10.2.7

#

this sound just like an elemental storm/dreamsurge event themed with pirates and maybe a freehold 2.0 dungeon.

upper pasture
#

is it too much to just enjoy each part step by step?

vernal juniper
#

yes 😂

deep pawn
#

Lightsmith paladin should be reworked to represent Draenei artificer types.

#

Summon mechs to buff allies and the capstone call down a mech suit for a few seconds

warm topaz
#

lightsmith need a rework yeah

tepid fiber
#

As long as it's not a GW2 Holosmith clone

tropic trail
#

Is there pirate event? 🤔

#

Question for you americanos 🇺🇸

tepid fiber
#

Still have another whole eighth of the day to go

#

Plus maintenance

rain cave
#

But I get what you mean

#

Though there's the issue of being too race coded

#

Could just be Naaru aesthetic though, and be fitting

#

That could be close to that

tepid fiber
#

More 👏 racial 👏 glyphs 👏 please 👏

rain cave
#

Tbf even if they just had a barber option to slightly change spell colour

#

Like making a paladins light more orange or white

#

Not by much as first though, because readability needs to be tested

silent urchin
#

hopefully that's not all the post was

thin warren
#

looks up when the sun rises in America

upper pasture
#

It’s gonna be patch notes right? I mean that’s just a few mins before maintenance I believe?

#

Also this is insane hype for something that isn’t evergreen. Kinda strange, maybe we are being lied to about it being “limited time” maybe the event itself is limited but the system it’s bringing is staying. Idk just seems like a lot of hype for something that’s gonna be relevant for half a season

signal bone
#

$10 says it's just another zerg fest event on a timer (but with a twist, like following the tree in superblooms)

upper pasture
#

There’s no way they would hype it up half as much as they have been doing tho

tepid fiber
#

Watch it just be pirate hats on NPCs like when they put Santa hats on SL bosses

upper pasture
#

Man, we’re so close

tepid fiber
#

Good times

candid ruin
upper pasture
#

Holy shit it’s a BR lol

tepid fiber
#

Good lord

#

I'll be straight with you chief this one wasn't on my bingo card

upper pasture
#

This is…interesting

tepid fiber
#

I mean yeah I don't hate it

candid ruin
#

interesting

fast gate
#

I kind of do... i don't like BR, and i don't play them, so this seems like they spent a lot of resources on a feature that I don't want to play

upper pasture
#

I mean rewards aren’t tied to winning so even if you’re terrible at it you’ll still be able to unlock everything

tepid fiber
upper pasture
#

That too

tepid fiber
#

Not all content has to be for everyone

fast gate
#

True, and i know that, but i can still be disappointed

candid ruin
#

play it first, then pass judgement

fast gate
#

espcially after the way they hyped it. If they had said from the get go, it was a new game mode, i would have been okay with it

tepid fiber
upper pasture
#

Interesting times. I hope it’s fun to play

silent urchin
#

fucking

#

pvp

#

really

keen berry
#

blizzard really internet explorered their way into this one huh

candid ruin
#

read the bluepost, and watch the videos

silent urchin
#

I have, it just makes it sound worse

candid ruin
#

you can do the event, and get the rewards without worrying about the PVP aspect

silent urchin
#

if you spam the first couple minutes over and over

#

and I bet there's exclusive rewards for winning

upper pasture
#

Sounds like to me it’s gonna be a battle pass system for rewards. A la not needing to win persay to claim all the rewards just earn enough exp to claim everything

#

Just winning will likely make it faster

silent urchin
#

includes S4 set changes

#

and.. a surprising amount of class changes?

#

Lightwell has been redesigned

#

It's not even a meme

fast gate
#

While that is nice, earning the loot regardless, Time is a very limit resource for a lot of us, also, guessing a lot of us (well, me) don't like joining a game to just lose at it, over and over again... kind of demoralzing and never feels good

silent urchin
#

"40 renown levels"

#

my god

candid ruin
#

optional content

fast gate
#

When a game has you pay for a sub, nothing is really optional content... there what you choose to play, and what you don't. But it isn't 'optional'... if it was a buy on dlc thingy, than yeah

candid ruin
#

They've created (what looks like) a lot of new UI elements and game play which will be tested in this event, and later added into the live game

#

no one expects them to add a new game mode during an expansion lifecycle

upper pasture
#

I mean, it is optional content tho

#

But also we don’t know how hard or how much time is gonna be needed for all the planderstorm stuff so you’re putting the cart before the horse

fast gate
#

eh... i guess we are just disagreeing on wording here. But I see the classic realms as optional content. Stuff that doesn't interact with retail. But this mode has rewards that does, so i don't consider it optional

candid ruin
upper pasture
#

It’s optional because no one isn’t going to take you to S4 because you don’t have the plunderstorm mogs

silent urchin
#

No, but pvp isn't advertised as a big secret feature for 4 months

upper pasture
#

It’s cosmetics

fast gate
#

No, i don't feel force, that isn't the issue. I choose not to play PVP, but i don't consider PVP optional. Its the idea that it is optional that i disagree with.

candid ruin
#

I think we should play it first, then pass judgement

#

I hate PVP, but this looks pretty cool to me, but we will see when we play

silent urchin
#

I don't really know what to think of these holy priest changes

#

they seem to be killing the meta build

#

but they also just have "reorganised last 3 rows" so who the hell knows what you'll be able to make

#

really annoying that they didn't give us a preview of this

#

gotta spend patch day figuring shit out

#

there's some nice QOL stuff in there for sure but the overall effect is ??

upper pasture
#

Probably future proofing for TWW

#

Not for nothing, I’m guessing it’s gonna be a fun game mode if max said he was gonna play this until TWW.

#

Idk I don’t see myself playing much past the rewards but we will see

signal bone
#

it's more pvpve I believe

#

I wish this wasn't a timelimited event and that you didn't get the rewards for just participating.

#

Just promotes more afk gameplay

silent urchin
#

it sounds like you need to at least do something to get rewards

#

not pure afk

upper pasture
#

Yeah, looting chests and leveling up. Assuming the first few mins are nearly only PVE like they claim (of course if you aren’t hot dropping) you’ll have some time alone to get some exp before dying to another player

silent urchin
#

I don't know why they can't just post the stuff that'll be visible in the client immediately

signal bone
#

I fail to see why they needed to make this secret

#

especially when they post the entire thing before the patch launches lol

vernal juniper
#

months of secret patchs and they spolied it 2 hours before the start

#

epic fail

candid ruin
#

y'all are funny

upper pasture
#

The secret was the game mode my guy

#

That’s it, that was the secret

silent urchin
#

the game mode was going to be revealed as soon as the client patch was out

#

they haven't spoiled much of the mode itself, other than the generic gameplay mechanics

candid ruin
#

we're already data mining the patch, they have to release the blue post when servers go down or it will be datamined and spoiled

silent urchin
#

There are probably going to be a ton of semi-secret events to find, which is what they wanted to keep hidden

upper pasture
#

In typical fashion people are already crying in comments over this

dense plover
#

So semi secret battle Royale

#

Fun

#

An entire patch dedicated to pvp

#

See you in 8 weeks guys

candid ruin
austere gazelle
#

Untested events ? Bugs.
New server ? Queues
60 Player zone ? lags

#

Can't wait

dense plover
#

That’s small

candid ruin
austere gazelle
#

I'd be more confident if 40ppl world boss or superbloom event would not be a lag feast and if they could push new content that have been tested with lots of bugs... I want to believe in this, even if I dont like pvp, but the recent history gives me the morbs

vernal juniper
#

do you know how to download the patch from eu? I want to run wow.tools local

dense plover
austere gazelle
dense plover
#

Also super bloom isn’t laggy

candid ruin
#

LULW ??

dense plover
#

And I never got lag in the war front

austere gazelle
dense plover
upper pasture
#

Imagine, a world where blizzard had internal and CCs test it

austere gazelle
#

I hope so, I truly do.

candid ruin
#

it may not be laggy bc there is a limited set of abilities

dense plover
#

By the time you’re limited to a small area there won’t be 60 people alive

upper pasture
#

Because 60 people isn’t a lot

silent urchin
#

superbloom had some issues in the first week or two, but they fixed a lot of the specific lag causes. It easily gets over 100 players without difficulty now

austere gazelle
austere gazelle
#

" Here be dragons "

silent urchin
#

The other thing is it needs all the players and a lot of mobs stacked to cause lag, which isn't what plunderdome is

upper pasture
#

The whole point is to fight each other, there won’t be 60 people alive that closely, and you’ll only have like 4 abilities

austere gazelle
#

lets cross fingers, it might be fun as hell, but I doubt the first day will be

candid ruin
#

first day chaos is fun Okay

upper pasture
#

So staying alive isn’t going to be the same as retail

candid ruin
#

I wonder if it'll be time gated

austere gazelle
dense plover
#

I’m more curious about rewards

#

Do you have to win or do you get a currency and buy the rewards?

rain cave
#

Just try have fun all

#

It looks like it's also a rogue like

silent urchin
#

there's a renown track

#

40 levels, 4-5 games or ~1hour per level

#

maybe faster or slower depending on how well you do

#

maybe some other rewards, they didn't say it was just renown

upper pasture
#

Loot items kill PvE mobs, kill players all gets plunder assumedly

candid ruin
#

some good titles

#

looks like they were thinking about trios too

upper pasture
#

New crest icons lookin fresh

signal bone
#

guess the season 4 mount is an infinite colored armordon

silent urchin
#

seems to be some LFG panel improvements too

candid ruin
#

void zone?

#

oh I see this is for the plunderstorm

dense plover
#

@candid ruin probably the holding zone before start

candid ruin
upper pasture
signal bone
silent urchin
#

lol they're using the "Adventurer" class for plunderstorm, this won't cause even more weird data issues in future, I'm sure

signal bone
#

back to SL I go

upper pasture
candid ruin
#

[DNT] Corgi Cache (New) - Don't use this. No touchy. If you think you want to use this you don't. Talk to Alex if you want to use it. He'll also tell you not to use it.

#

??

#

even in 2024 they are very bad at naming things consistently LULW

upper pasture
#

Dinar is back! I could cry

#

Fated raid mount?

silent urchin
#

yup

upper pasture
#

Wilderlings were the long dragons in SLs no?

silent urchin
#

Yup

upper pasture
#

Neat

tepid fiber
#

Noodledawgs

upper pasture
#

Dinar is back, we get a fated mount, infinite mount for S4 M+. The only thing I need now from S4 is the DF meta achievement

silent urchin
#

where does it say dinar is back?

upper pasture
#

It’s in the patch let me SS

silent urchin
#

ahh

#

odd that they still call it dinar but I guess that's not a public string

upper pasture
#

It’s a good day even outside of plunderstorm stuff

#

Maybe just a placeholder perhaps

#

Then again with that dude in our journal and the strange coin it isn’t too odd if the brokers show up to help us with dinars again

#

At least to me

silent urchin
#

smh blizz continues to lie to their playerbase

warm topaz
#

so excited!!

upper pasture
#

I mean, have you seen MDI/RWF players?

#

They are smart cookies

candid ruin
#

the people that make the addons and WAs are smart, idk about the players

upper pasture
#

It still takes a level of skill to pull some of that stuff off

#

You can give anyone a WA but that doesn’t suddenly make them RWF raider

candid ruin
#

guild cartels that enlist the help of hundreds to achieve a goal

signal bone
#

6 weeks for this event

#

lmao

deep pawn
#

@uncut lintel New fated mount

upper pasture
#

You’ll wake her

deep pawn
#

oh, my bad

#

I already pinged so no point deleting

upper pasture
#

I mean, truthfully it’s noon she should be awake

deep pawn
#

who doesn't immediately mute discord notifications

upper pasture
#

I think she does have them muted, I don’t but I also never have my phone out of vibrate mode

deep pawn
#

only 1 dinar cap is interesting..

molten niche
#

Dinar cap?

upper pasture
#

It probably will expand like the firsts ones did

#

1-3

#

At least hopefully anywho

#

Oh baby

#

The M+ mount

#

😍

molten niche
#

Picture?

upper pasture
signal bone
#

to the fated mount is just a recolor of the SL mounts?

upper pasture
#

No, it’s a new model according to blizz

signal bone
#

looks exactly the same. Probably just can dragonride

upper pasture
#

But you are correct it’s prolly just updated for dynamic flying

#

I will say for a fated mount it’s a little lackluster, not as exciting as the cat mount

molten niche
#

Cat u had to do heroic for though right? Glad they changed that

upper pasture
#

I think so? At least that’s how I remember it normal was title and heroic was mount but I’m not 100%

molten niche
#

Yea could gave sworn it was heroic

upper pasture
#

Interesting it looks like you’ll have to do a full clear of each raid too.

#

Instead of just the last boss

#

Of each

silent urchin
#

I do like the long dragon

#

Not sure whats actually new about the model

#

dragon horns?

upper pasture
#

Probably just dynamic flying rigging?

silent urchin
#

seems pretty close to identical

#

could be

#

but I'd have thought the wilderling was on the list for TWW anyway

upper pasture
#

On paper it’s the same but technically it’s different?

silent urchin
#

maybe it'll be changed before S4 comes out

upper pasture
#

Idk if I wasn’t in a guild that was gonna clear the raids at least once I’d pass on getting it truthfully

#

All awakened raids all at once? I wonder if my guild is gonna try and raid 3 nights a week for a bit

molten niche
#

All raids will be active at once? Every week or na

candid ruin
#

is this new?

silent urchin
#

Bakar mounts have been in the files, but unused, for ages

#

so I guess this implies it's no longer unused

candid ruin
upper pasture
#

👀

#

Doggo mounts

#

as if anyone needed this to be confirmed M10s now give portals

#

well....in season 4

candid ruin
upper pasture
#

i wonder if it's tied to doing outdoors content in season 4. well....i mean obvos it's tied to S4 but the achievement title makes me think WQs or world events

silent urchin
#

oooh meta achievement

#

I am missing.. like two of them

#

ofc it's a forbidden reach achievement..

candid ruin
upper pasture
#

oh

#

it's the meta achievement, nice.

uncut lintel
#

THE INFINITE M+ MOUNT

#

BEST COLOR SOFAR

upper pasture
#

she's AWAKE!

#

and got up on the right side of the bed i see

uncut lintel
#

no i was out and i fried some food

#

so i was busy

#

this new event is renown gain?

candid ruin
#

they call the progression track "renown"

uncut lintel
#

i want that rtansmog set, trenchcoats are hot

#

how do iget it i need it

#

💀

deep pawn
#

you gotta play battle royale

#

most rewards are earned by completing a quest each battle

uncut lintel
#

is t pvp?

#

wait its time gated?

deep pawn
#

there's a single reward for being the winner

candid ruin
#

its PvPvE

uncut lintel
#

: ( uhgg but i suck at pvp

candid ruin
#

you do NOT have to do PVP to get rewards

deep pawn
#

if you never win all you miss out on is the tabard and eyepatch

uncut lintel
#

i just want the trenchcoat set

#

idc abt anything else

thin warren
#

to bad

uncut lintel
#

hi negative person

thin warren
#

hi adhder

deep pawn
uncut lintel
#

you gonna play the nwe patch?

thin warren
#

yeah, will try some rounds for sure

uncut lintel
#

goodluck bro

thin warren

thx 😄

deep pawn

deep pawn
upper pasture
#

great, now i need to win at least one match lol

deep pawn
uncut lintel
#

this pirate thing is weird to read

#

is this like hearthstone card event

#

like in the hearthstone game

#

for flame saber back then

#

but in WoW

upper pasture
#

what?

#

is a whole different character select screen and a whole different game mode wdym?

dense plover
#

That season 4 mount is wild

#

The meta one

#

The rainbow fox dragon

#

I love it and I’m sad I won’t get it

upper pasture
#

rainbow?

#

it's just normal fated raids

#

seems easy enough

dense plover
#

I don’t do raids

#

Like at all

upper pasture
#

ah, i'm sure you could find a group. i'm pretty sure slime cat raids had groups going all the time

#

just have to put in some effort.

uncut lintel
#

THE GREAT PEACHDOESNT DO RAIDS

#

NOT EVNE NORMAL?

thin warren
#

the great peach lol 😄 haha

#

who has time for raids, i only do LFR and mostly only once

#

i did all bosses in amirdrassil and like only the first wings 2 or 3 times, tops

dense plover
#

Nah I don’t have time to raid

#

And LFR is a shitshow

#

I would love if there was a simplified raid with NPCs

#

Story mode raid is a highly requested feature

ember blaze
#

Normal is very easy and theres groups all the time

#

Or join those pug communities

#

Could even wait a couple weeks and its even easier with pugs

harsh mason
#

I really hope that this mode will be successful and will appear for an unlimited time in the future. Because it is literally a variety among other types of content

#

I mean Plunderstorm now

upper pasture
#

I feel like with any content they put out it will be great until the rewards dry up then it will die off

molten niche
#

yea hell i wouldnt even mind if they made it a permanent game mode but cycled out the renoun pass every 2-3 months or so

upper pasture
#

So if blizzard wants to keep it around they just need to freshen it up with new rewards

molten niche
#

cuz honestly once i get the m+ mount and aotc i dont do much in retail anyways

deep pawn
#

normal is easier than heroic was last expac

signal bone
#

well I would hope so lol

warm topaz
#

this is crazy

warm topaz
#

servers on NA up!

#

enjoy!

vernal juniper
#

is this the same toy of previus season or a new one

upper pasture
#

looks like it's the same toy from the MDI a month ago or so.

deep pawn
#

It's usually the second chance to get the current banner

upper pasture
#

or in this case 3rd since it's been the same banner for MDI and AWC and now this

dense plover
#

is there any info on how much rep you earn per match?

#

does it scale with placement or is it 500 for playing and 800 for winning?

silent urchin
#

low end is about 3-400 if you die immediately, high end is up to 1250

dense plover
#

oh dang

silent urchin
#

scales with rank, yes

dense plover
#

ok

silent urchin
#

2500 per renown

dense plover
#

but i could still die super fast and probably farm renown pretty quickly

warm topaz
#

games are really quick

dense plover
#

though matches are short right?

warm topaz
#

yeah

#

not more than 15 min

silent urchin
#

yeah, I think if you go all the way it's less than 15minutes

#

mostly it'll be less than 10

#

Not sure if there's any hidden MMR or anything

dense plover
#

god i hope so

silent urchin
#

or if it's going to be subject largely to who gets the best rng

dense plover
#

i dont want to get rofl stomped after a week or two

warm topaz
#

nah, like, i don't think is that skilled

upper pasture
#

yeah it's pretty rng, think of it as an advanced rock paper scissors basically

warm topaz
#

i mean, if you are good you can dodge spells and be quick with some defensives

upper pasture
#

oh winning isn't that important after all

#

just the FoS

#

the other things unlock for your retail account at 38/40

dense plover
#

yeah thats why im sorta interested now

#

the original post said winning had rewards

#

and i knew i couldnt

#

but i can passively grind while also working my way through the xmen animated series before xmen '97 releases

silent urchin
#

Yeah, turns out there's no actual long term reward for winning beyond a feat of strength

dense plover
#

im curious what happens after 40

#

like - is that just it?

silent urchin
#

I think so

dense plover
#

b/c i have to assume the grind wont take 6 weeks

#

or the majority wouldnt finish

#

either that or people will like it and theyll extend it

silent urchin
#

6 weeks seems a little short. Might depend on how popular it remains

#

I don't really see why they wouldn't keep it running til at least TWW

dense plover
#

if rewards run out after 4 weeks or something thats why itll close after 6

#

once you get everything, theres nothing to do

upper pasture
#

i mean sure

#

besides play the game

tropic trail
signal bone
#

grind is definitely going to get nerfed, it's really bad

upper pasture
#

Idk, you get more the better you are, and doing the “world quest” is always a nice 250 plunder

signal bone
#

I mean...let's say you average 500 per game, that's 5 games for 1 renown. Which is 200 matches on average, probably around 150 on the low end.

#

the mode is fun

#

but it's too shallow for 150 matches...

#

I've done almost 10 and I'm getting tired of it already. People are going to start complaining hard in a couple days and Blizz will likely nerf it

upper pasture
#

Yeah but 800-1k is pretty average if you avoid other players and farm mobs for plunder

signal bone
#

still around 100

upper pasture
#

And in 5-8 mins for about 1/3 or 1/4 of a level it won’t take long to finish it

#

And? It’s gonna be around for 6+ weeks? This isn’t designed to be done in one sitting

#

Plus you aren’t counting the 800 bonus from each first quest of the day

rain cave
#

ok just played a couple matches

#

am I missing something?

upper pasture
#

We need more info then that

rain cave
#

or is it really just spamming 4 abilities over and over with no like

#

interesting scaling

upper pasture
#

You can level up yourself and getting duplicate scrolls will upgrade your items until 4

rain cave
#

yeah but the levelling doesn't do much mechanically

upper pasture
#

More health and more damage

rain cave
#

I thought it was gonna be like a rogue like where you chose a class then levelled it up through playing a match

#

picking talents/legendary effects

#

but atm it's just

upper pasture
#

It’s a BR I think you expected too much

rain cave
#

janky targeting and the same 5 skills 💀

upper pasture
#

It’s not janky, it’s skill based targeting

rain cave
#

it's very jank

#

it's based on camera angle not actual aimed position

#

or something

#

it's like smite

#

also WoW's old engine really struggles with anything that isn't unit or AOE circle target

upper pasture
#

Yes, which is skilled based aiming

rain cave
#

like spamming R to attack people close is

#

so jank

upper pasture
#

Move the keybind then

rain cave
#

it's not the keybind

upper pasture
#

rain cave
#

it's the actual anim

#

like it just does damage to people in front of you

upper pasture
#

Yes

rain cave
#

whatever that is defined as

#

just feels a bit...

#

mid

upper pasture
#

Which takes a bit of skill

rain cave
#

not talking about skill

#

talking about how fun it is

upper pasture
#

I’m having a blast

rain cave
#

and it just feels a bit mediocre to me so far

#

nothing flashy

#

not much variation

#

same map every time / not many skills to choose

#

a bit slappy

upper pasture
#

Can’t make everyone happy I suppose

rain cave
#

wet noodle galore

#

I mean yeah fair enough

#

I'm glad they're experimenting

#

it's just rough that they've thrown out all the good parts of their game design that people came to WoW for when making this

#

I want to unit target people and cast spells that I know, with interesting new effects

warm topaz
#

they need to nerf fire tornado lol

#

is giga broken

upper pasture
#

As long as you stay on them it’s pretty broken lol

silent urchin
#

I think it's pretty intentional for some abilities to be much more powerful

upper pasture
#

Prolly increase its CD

warm topaz
warm topaz
#

but i understand that some people dislike that

There’s things to counter FS but if you don’t have it your screwed

warm topaz
#

i do not understand tho that some people hate this event bc it is not what they wanted to be

#

thats weird

upper pasture
#

Yup

#

“How dare blizzard release something that’s not what I cooked up in my head”

warm topaz
#

what i've seen is mostly positive and good comments about it tho

silent urchin
#

A lot of the strings are labelled "WOW_LABS", I suspect at least part of this is an experiment in changing combat to be a little bit more dynamic

deep pawn
#

I've played over an hour and I'm not 3 yet

#

I'm really thinking if not for the fact they tied cosmetics to this I wouldn't do it

#

I just don't like pvp that much

#

and I've never played a single BR game

#

this didn't need the secrecy

upper pasture
#

It absolutely needed it, could you imagine the outcry if they told people they were making this from day one?

warm topaz
#

we need more secret stuff

#

ohh what is this for?

silent urchin
#

might just be decoration near the cup dudes

deep pawn
#

If this is what the secrets are, they need to do better

#

Keep story secret

silent urchin
#

they seem to match the achievement icons

deep pawn
#

I don't give a damn about game modes being secret

upper pasture
#

Or maybe we’re getting better UI for tracking and showing off DR races

warm topaz
#

copium

upper pasture
#

Copium

silent urchin
#

I mean these are actual 3d objects

#

so presumably they'll be in the world, not UI

upper pasture
#

But I’ll have some

deep pawn
#

I want more WoW content, if I wanted to play a BR I'd go play a BR honestly

silent urchin
#

slightly different to the art, actually

#

but along the same idea

deep pawn
#

but nooo, they had to tie a really awesome mog set and what looks like a dynamic mount bird

jade basalt
#

What WoW content?

upper pasture
#

Man, one day. I hope we get player housing lol

jade basalt
#

A battleground? A dungeon? World quests? Which one should that mog have been tied to?
There's all sorts of different kinds of content. This is one more.

warm topaz
#

i think what Kyle is refering to is that this BR mode is not conventional WoW content

#

he wants things like Mage Tower type of content

#

not mage tower

jade basalt
#

Mage Tower was also not conventional WoW content when it released

warm topaz
#

just an example

warm topaz
jade basalt
#

Sure, maybe they should've tied that mog to PvP battlegrounds instead.

Then someone would've complained that this mog is tied to PvP battlegrounds when they don't do PvP.

warm topaz
#

i love the event, i like it a lot

#

but i understand if someone doesn't

upper pasture
#

His problem is he doesn’t like the event but likes the rewards and that pretty much chalks it up

warm topaz
#

for me is one of the coolest thing they ever done with WoW

upper pasture
#

You either enjoy the mog enough to do the event or hate the event so much the mog isn’t worth the effort

upper pasture
#

Or you just like to scream into the void and hope they change it

jade basalt
#

I respect not liking the content, but I don't really get "I want more WoW content, if I wanted to play a BR I'd go play a BR honestly" which implies that this is not WoW content. It is literally a new type of content. And it's okay if it comes with like, a couple a rewards.

upper pasture
#

Or you enjoy the event lol

deep pawn
#

Mage Tower at least was MY character with MY abilities

upper pasture
#

To be fair you can make your pirate just like your character

deep pawn
#

Like I'll do this for the mog cause the plunderlord outfit is unique

warm topaz
silent urchin
#

yeah, that's the S4 normal raid mount

warm topaz
#

the mount is really cool, i like it

#

the cat from SL is more unique

jade basalt
#

The fact you create a new character specifically for this is the best part. I haven't spent the last three months spamming M+ and raiding every week so if I had to use my actual character to do anything I'd be in a severe disadvantage. But here everyone starts equal. (Yet skill can still make a difference.)

If this had been actual PvP or PvE I probably wouldn't have played it much or at all (or been able to).

deep pawn
#

To me this isn't WoW, and I'm salty I can't play the normal game to get this mog

#

The fact it's pvp when they know that's the least played game mode is 😦

#

It's fine, it's just not WoW to me

pulsar minnow
#

As someone who sucks at PvP, I really like this. It’s a nice change of pace for a game that suffers from often time having too much of the same

warm topaz
deep pawn
#

It's like most WoW pvp, the constant moving and juking is giving me a headache

#

plus the insane amount of movement boosts involved

#

When did they add the Gilnean's Noble set?

#

oh, weird, they just gave it to everyone even if you haven't finished the quest

warm topaz
#

is really hard to get into wow PvP nowadays, i only know how to play disc priest in Solo Shuffle lol, its frustrating

deep pawn
#

Shuffle and BGs I'm okay with, something with how combat goes in Plunderstorm is just headache inducing

cosmic beacon
#

Worst thing ever designed in wow

deep pawn
#

bleh, I do need max rank with Soridormi

#

that's gonna take a while, my highest char is at rank 4

cosmic beacon
#

Don’t forget doti on heroic gives good rep for the boss kills

#

Iirc it’s a few hundred

deep pawn
#

the main weekly is only 1k haha

deep pawn
#

it's just not, it's basically a new game only tangentially related to WoW

#

its as much wow as hearthstone is

ember blaze
deep pawn
#

And all I'm seeing is people who like collecting getting frustrated playing an unfun game and knowing they have to play this for a solid 30-40 hours

ember blaze
#

but that doesnt mean the devs should not try some cool new stuff

deep pawn
#

There's gonna be a lot of rightfully angry people that this is what they did instead of actual pve or pvp content for the game we pay for

ember blaze
#

this is both

deep pawn
#

could've made a dungeon or two

#

could have made an arena map that lasts the rest of the game

ember blaze
#

this is actually something new and cool, as opposed of some random shit where you just afk in one place tagging mobs

#

oh look another mid patch zone where you just fly around to tag the spawned "rare"

#

i am so amazed by this new content i haven't seen before

#

that's pretty much what all these updates come down to outside of instanced zones

deep pawn
#

This is gonna be seen as more tone deaf than Torghast. If people wanted to play a BR they'd go play one. Just like people would go play a real good Roguelike if that's what they wanted

ember blaze
#

i just think that's a dumb argument

#

Here

#

Should we not get player housing because you can just go play a housing sim?

#

this is wow, not decorate your house game

deep pawn
ember blaze
#

Should we just delete pvp because if i wanted to play pvp, id play a pvp game like league?

ember blaze
#

look at what they just released with their new tech

#

im sorry the mode is just not for you and it sucks if u feel forced to grind it

#

but new stuff like this is good for the game

#

and they get to experiment with new things they can add to the new game

deep pawn
#

what is new in here except they expanded Empowered Spells?

candid ruin
#

you don't even have to PVP, do the quest, collect plunder, die, repeat lol

jade basalt
#

I mean a new dungeon would've been incredibly boring. Specially end of expansion. Specially since there's 8 more dungeons coming this year anyway, and with Delves too.

This is actually something new and different.

ember blaze
#

Id love to see some of these abilities too shruge

ember blaze
#

need more of that in the game

jade basalt
#

A dungeon would've been "new"?

ember blaze
deep pawn
#

People are more than happy to have more of what they have been playing, especially after an expansion that delivered the least amount of dungeon and raid combat.

#

This expansion pulled off less raid content than WoD

jade basalt
#

That's false, people are always asking for new things

deep pawn
#

You know that expansion famously cut off early

ember blaze
#

outside of a missing raid tier, you got a lot

jade basalt
#

"People don't want new things" is a brand new take

deep pawn
#

if BR took time away from the live content team making better world content in the actual retail game, yeah I'm a tad disappointed.

jade basalt
#

It didn't, separate teams

ember blaze
#

but the game has been getting constant story content, some new zones

#

and world content

jade basalt
#

Literally nothing to do with Dragonflight, the work on this started years ago, by a different team

ember blaze
#

to say people should have more of what they have been playing is a weird thing to say

#

when they have

jade basalt
#

Yeah I'm flabbergasted to be honest, "Oh I wish we had just gotten yet another dungeon rather than something actually new and different" is a really mindblowing take.

candid ruin
#

WoW brain makes people hate change

ember blaze
#

im actually excited now with what else they can come out with

deep pawn
#

I've said since 10.1 that the devs needed to deliver more dungeon content. I'm not even a mythic raider and I'm disappointed for them that they got the least amount of content in an expansion EVER, and it didn't even come at the cost of more dungeons

ember blaze
#

since this is like a first of its kind thing

jade basalt
#

It's fine if you don't like it, but then it's just not for you. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be available for anyone.

candid ruin
#

if blizz gave us 10 dungeons in a new expansion people would complain its 2 too many

ember blaze
#

excited for whatever else they cook up

jade basalt
ember blaze
#

i thought dungeons were fine with what theyre doing

#

a lot of these dungeons in the rotation are new for a lot of people

deep pawn
#

I'm personally over legacy dungeons unless they're WoD or earlier

ember blaze
#

and maybe they could have spent more time with brand new ones, but personally i think modernizing decades old dungeons is good

jade basalt
#

The last few expansions we've gotten Mage Tower, Islands, Warfronts, Torghast, all new forms of content, on top of classical PvP and PvE.
This is one more of them.

You don't have to play all the content at once.

deep pawn
#

I'm truly burnt out on Legion and BfA

#

I lived them the first time, hated BfA the first time

ember blaze
#

at some point they probably have to revisit older ones

#

id love deadmines

deep pawn
#

BfA legacy dungeons haven't done anything to make me think of them more fondly

jade basalt
#

They are actively trying to do more "evergreen" features and content

#

Stuff that lasts, with replayability

#

Plunderstorm is one type of event, could be more. Point is, now they have the tech to do self-contained events like that.

deep pawn
#

They clearly know this is a risk and why it's only 6 weeks(Unless they just want FOMO)

#

The forums don't seem super happy though

candid ruin
#

people that actually play the content are pretty happy

ember blaze
#

everything the devs do is the end of the world there

deep pawn
#

They really should have just made a pve way to get these rewards and a lot of the complaints would disappear.

candid ruin
#

you don;t have to pvp to get the rewards

ember blaze
#

you get progress by doing pve

deep pawn
#

You have to opt into a pvp combat game

candid ruin
#

litearlly do the quest, run around grab plunder then leave

deep pawn
#

There's a reason war mode is dead

jade basalt
#

Have you actually played it

candid ruin
#

the pvp does nothing for you

deep pawn
#

I did, I'm renown 3, and it was a miserable hour of grinding

#

If you're lucky you see no one else, you just do boring pve

#

with a character that's not your own mashing r

jade basalt
#

That sounds like WoW content alright

candid ruin
#

killing the same boss, on the hour, every hour would be better?

#

another superbloom event?

deep pawn
#

If this is the alternative to superbloom, I'd rather them not do any world content

jade basalt
#

You mean like world quests? treasures? professions?

#

oh okay so now no world content either

deep pawn
#

I don't think I've enjoyed a world event since Forbidden Reach?

ember blaze
#

the only way to please everyone with a reward is if you made it a world quest that took 5 seconds to complete

jade basalt
#

Nah, people would complain about the fact it was too easy

ember blaze
#

the new mount that youll get out of normal will alienate some people that will refuse to even try

#

and they wont get it

#

despite normal being incredbily easy

jade basalt
candid ruin
#

if you refuse to do the content you don't deserve the rewards

ember blaze
#

mage tower is a pve mode with rewards

#

people still bitch despite that

#

cause it's not a 5 second world quest anyone can do

candid ruin
#

Depsite that you can expact blizz to add a recolor of all these rewards to something else

deep pawn
ember blaze
#

sometimes we gotta take the L and realize we're not getting the cosmetic that has 0 impact on your game

#

that you probably wont even wear out of your 2k options in your mog menu

jade basalt
deep pawn
#

This pirate one is one of the better ones, the first two, I agree, they'll be left to dust

candid ruin
#

They will nerf the event to the ground near the end anyways, you can login and collect all the rewards then

ember blaze
deep pawn
candid ruin
#

what else would they add as rewards

jade basalt
#

wot

candid ruin
#

you do not have to do pvp to earn anything

deep pawn
#

just gotta be there for others to kill, it's the same thing as people playing warmode for bonus exp

candid ruin
#

I've been farming this since launch and I've never worried about another player during the first 10mins

#

im literally afk typing in here

jade basalt
#

Yeah that's nonsense

tulip sun
#

I don't worry about players until it's down to the last couple

#

You can easily succeed without interacting

tight wagon
#

i made it to top 1 by literally killing only one player

#

was afk farming the whole game

deep pawn
#

I think part of my issue is the pve is kinda boring, the abilities all feel the same so far, most mobs are the same "dodge the frontal" "get tickled by a whirlwind"

jade basalt
#

That's kind of like, all PvE

deep pawn
#

And I might find it boring because I'm not playing a class and spec I know and love

jade basalt
#

Fair

deep pawn
#

I'll probably give it another shot if they double plunder gains

ember blaze
#

so what's the issue

deep pawn
#

Probably because it's disconnected from the rest of the game

ember blaze
#

kinda funny this is more engaging PvP than what the game has 💀

#

who knew not getting sheeped, sapped, stunned for a bajillion years, or having to run in a circle around a pillar would result in more engaging gameplay

candid ruin
#

if pvp was like this I'd play way more of it LULW

deep pawn
candid ruin
#

you can dodge the stun silence

#

press q, or e

ember blaze
#

a mage in the main game just clicks your character and spams sheep

#

a rogue saps you in stealth

signal bone
#

You guys think we’ll get the 10.2.7 ptr before season 4?

candid ruin
#

that would have us with: S4 PTR, TWW Alpha, and 10.2.7 PTR

#

seems like a lot

deep pawn
#

If s4 isn't "new content" every 8 weeks, we need 10.2.7 in 8-9 weeks from now

dense plover
deep pawn
#

It's a question on if s4 is in 6 weeks and thus 10.2.7 is 14 weeks from now or not

#

I don't think the roadmap allows for that so I'm thinking 10.2.7 is a few weeks after s4 starts regardless

candid ruin
deep pawn
#

I dunno

#

We have 0 idea what timerunning is

#

My hope is I like it much better than Plunder

warm topaz
#

Naguura ,the 🐐

#

she is so right on that

deep pawn
#

It's just not a shock that people who pay for an MMO aren't exactly thrilled when a piece of content the devs themselves hyped up, turns out to be a genre of game they don't play.

plain violet
#

Not a shock indeed but some clearly need to touch grass, especially when you see all the comments of people that didn't even tested that yet, or were spamming minsinfo about how it work to justify it being a failure.

deep pawn
#

it's definitely slower than they made it sound in interviews, but maybe that was a late change or something

silent urchin
#

postmaster sent me an unknown item that broke my bags :(

jade basalt
#

WoW literally has a Capture the Flag mode. This is a Battle Royale mode. Both are WoW.

thorny venture
#

Lots of doom and gloom over on reddit and WoW forums

upper pasture
#

i really don't expect anything different when it comes to WoW's vocal community

tepid fiber
#

Exactly. Everyone is going to bitch about something

upper pasture
#

it's a great game mode for what it is, it isn't like the whole of WoW is turning into this BR mode

tepid fiber
#

"Uhm, excuse me Mr John Blizzard, but this content wasn't specifically catered to me and everything I didn't know I wanted. I would like one month of compensation of game time and for you to quit your job"

thorny venture
tepid fiber
#

Not just the WoW community, but gamers in general

vernal juniper
thorny venture
#

Online gaming communities just generally suck overall, from games like Fallout to fighting games to WoW

upper pasture
#

yeah but she's right, people need to go touch grass. it's okay to not like something but to kick and scream online about how it's unfair and stupid is well....childish.

thorny venture
#

Especially if that kicking and screaming also involves lambasting players who do like something that those wackos don't

pulsar minnow
#

I don’t really get why people are so pissed. For a x.x.6 patch this is pretty freakin neat

#

We’re in a content lull until TWW, and the devs are just experimenting with new stuff

upper pasture
#

we aren't even in a lull, it's just the end of S3 waiting for S4

pulsar minnow
#

True actually

silent urchin
#

this is literally an experiment made by one of the smaller studios they acquired and not the main dev team

upper pasture
#

cough cough spellbreak team anyone?

pulsar minnow
#

I’d take this over another world event any day of the week

silent urchin
#

or well, the released version involved the main dev team, but it did seem to be based off spellbreak work to begin with

upper pasture
#

i would be shocked if the people that got absorbed in that buyout didn't pitch this project or do the intial groundwork for it.

rain cave
#

This has a lot of art and systems made for it

#

Simple weeklies like fyrakk assaults are gonna be a lot quicker to make

#

Though I appreciate the experimentation

#

Since world events this xpac have been a bit boring

#

But yeah if I was to give feedback to the plunder team, let us choose classes, and loot unique talents and stuff

#

Since its a bit button mashy and limp

swift copper
rain cave
#

Simple but not in an amazing way

pulsar minnow
rain cave
#

we've not had anything like this before though

rain cave
#

is it just me or are the rewards really inconsistent

#

my first 3 matches I was getting like 900-1500 rep

#

now getting 360

#

in the match where I did my best so far :p

silent urchin
#

there's an 800 bonus for the first one each day

#

Mostly depends on how long you spend in game though, go to near the end and you can definitely pick up a ton of plunder, die early and it's less good, but as long as you complete the quest it's generally pretty efficient no matter what

rain cave
#

dailies my sworn enemies

upper pasture
#

they are literally so easy to complete

#

just write down "do plunder dailies" on a sticky note and put it on your monitor

deep pawn
#

You need to play like 5-6 matches a day

#

that's more than a daily

upper pasture
#

sigh

#

it's like 4 matchs to be fair

#

you need to do your first one which should net you around 1200-1500. then two more at 500 each, then throw in a bonus one for good measure.

#

i already did the math in another channel you need about 2400 plunder a day if it lasts 6 weeks

#

but sure keep up with the reasons why this event is "bad"

warm topaz
#

im renown 6

#

and haven't played much

warm topaz
#

or nerf the amount of rep you need to fill a lvl

upper pasture
#

oh they could it would help with reaching the 1 mil FoS but 100k isn't unobtainable

deep pawn
#

You realize many people play like 3 hours a week and want to do other things in the game?

#

This shouldn't be your ONLY thing you do for 6 weeks to barely hit the 100k rep

#

It's not what they said the pace would be

#

even then, it's a side content that awards what is normally a $25 quality transmog

#

As a BR, it's fine. But it's not WoW and many people are going to resent it has such a good transmog reward that you can't get playing the "real" game

#

The way you have to fight in it gives me a head ache with the constant moving and bouncing

upper pasture
#

matches take like 4-5 mins. so you can't set aside 30 mins to play a game mode you want the rewards for?

deep pawn
#

My average match is like 10 minutes if I'm getting 600 plunder

#

I could "optimize" and leave when I hit 300-400

#

but that feels self defeating to optimize that hard

upper pasture
#

my point still stands if you want the rewards youll do the thing it's not/ shouldn't take anyone "the whole event" to hit 100k if they log in and do like 3/4 matches

#

which is like 30 mins of gameplay

deep pawn
#

That's if you're lucky, there's many many people who get matches of less than 100 rep

#

I can tell cause by the time I hit 500 rep there's less than half the people alive

upper pasture
#

but i understand you don't like the gamemode and that's fine but constantly talking down about it when people are just trying to enjoy something new and fresh that the devs worked on and felt the need to keep it under wraps

silent urchin
#

as long as you're actively doing stuff and not just trying to hide until the final few, it doesn't seem worth it to try to optimise short vs long matches

upper pasture
#

it's not hard to hit 500 drop into a heavy mob area and kill everything

deep pawn
#

All the players are gonna learn from this is "When it's hidden, they know the reception will be negative"

upper pasture
#

bam easy money

silent urchin
#

just get the quest done then go do whatever

rain cave
#

I just hate that they want me to log on every day instead of letting me just blow this all out of the water quickly

#

I'd rather be done with this in 1 day with my cool transmog since that's the only reason I'd want to play it

deep pawn
#

you can do it, it just takes no lifeing for 30 hours or so

rain cave
#

also the captains orders aren't daily, I randomly had one proc just now

#

2nd/ 3rd time today

deep pawn
#

The most annoying captain's order is the 2 items

upper pasture
#

there's one every match

deep pawn
#

You get a captain's order every match

upper pasture
#

you get one every time you drop

rain cave
deep pawn
#

there's a daily extra 800 for doing 1 captain's order

silent urchin
#

depends where it drops you

rain cave
silent urchin
#

it loves dropping me on the sodding troll area which has no chests

rain cave
#

did i minimize it by accident like quests on live

#

everyone gets starts in the same place drop wise don't they?

#

then you glide off to where you want

upper pasture
#

no

silent urchin
#

no you start very spread out

#

you can glide some distance but you end up having a pretty good chance of dropping ontop of someone who is already level 3 or 4

rain cave
#

is it 2500 for every rank btw

deep pawn
#

yes

#

100k total

rain cave
#

ok thank

deep pawn
#

or maybe 97,500 but the difference is minor

rain cave
#

orders aren't every match

deep pawn
#

It just comes back to this is the same as torghast, people don't want another game mode inside WoW, they'd just go play those games that already exist in better formats.

deep pawn
#

you might just be finishing them faster than you think

upper pasture
#

yes they are

deep pawn
#

one is kill 10 mobs

rain cave
#

I just dropped in

#

nothing there

deep pawn
#

Torghast was a bad roguelike, this is a fine BR but it's totally divorced from the RPG people play

upper pasture
#

did you finish the intro quest?

rain cave
#

I believe so

#

though even that wasn't very well communicated lmao

#

didn't know it was even a thing till like my 3rd match

#

but yeah it seems just hot dropping over and over and risking dying early is the play since regardless you get like 200-300

#

but staying the whole match is like

#

700-900

#

bruh this guy was level 4 literally not even 2 minutes into dropping 💀

uncut vault
#

rather than feel like a waste of time

upper pasture
#

yeah, kill things don't dilly dally. dropping onto an elite is a good way to get a level right away

deep pawn
#

elites don't give a level on their own despite what people say

upper pasture
#

yeah but youll be up one ability and like 80% of the way to level 2

deep pawn
#

you get an ability the first thing you kill regardless

upper pasture
#

ah, could have swore the little stuff doesn't always drop an ability

deep pawn
#

It does the first one you kill

tight wagon
#

guys 10.2.6 next week for sure!

deep pawn
#

Might be the s4 ptr getting ready to go

silent urchin
#

that';s the current live build

warm topaz
upper pasture
#

lol i cannot believe people are truly this upset about this minor patch

tepid fiber
#

I mean, have you met people?

#

They're terrible

deep pawn
#

People are upset because we thought we were getting something for WoW, not a new game haha.

#

That will be the criticism that lasts from this, you aren't playing WoW when you play plunder storm

#

It's fine as its own separate game, but people are allowed to be grumpy

upper pasture
#

There’s grumpy and then full on fits

deep pawn
#

Hearthstone adds new game modes all the time, usually along side releases for the core game.

#

Like I personally have no idea how successful the gacha version of hearthstone was

#

I tried it, got my mount but that was it

#

Battlegrounds as an autochess was relatively successful

#

But people don't call it hearthstone, they call it battlegrounds because it is a different game.

#

People unsubbing are probably a bit hyperbolic, but I get being angry when blizzard is hyping up what they call a WoW patch and you get a different game entirely.

#

At least the meta achievements are cool when they finally add the mounts lol

silent urchin
#

it's real weird how those are broken

#

I got sent an item by the postmaster which is unknown and breaking my bags on login after patch and I suspect it's another broken achievement reward

deep pawn
#

I finished the waking shores and the time rifts one yesterday

#

I'm dreading how much fishing I gotta do for Azure Span

#

Also the elemental storms one is hell on earth given wowhead doesn't track the schedule anymore

upper pasture
#

I just have to pet two dogs and the 6 more dailies

deep pawn
#

I gave up upgrading my fishing equipment because fishing stopped being profitable really fast

silent urchin
#

Just got the dailies myself (I think)

I have to finish a bunch of the grindy stuff in the forbidden reach

ember blaze
deep pawn
#

50 scrolls and 100 treasures is annoying

#

Yeah, gotta fish til you get a bunch of rare green stuff

ember blaze
deep pawn
#

And then fishing nets and lunker rares give you the blue stuff

#

There are items you can buy to help you find the treasures and scrolls faster, but the scroll buff resets each time you find one

I do want Taivan and this sounds like a great way to fill time til tww for me

#

Gonna pick like an achieve a day to work on

#

Need to find out which alt is closest to maxing cobalt

#

It sounds like Taivan isn't going away like the SL title so no massive rush

signal bone
#

I really hope they revisit some of the sl achievements

#

like get rid of grateful offerings

#

soo annoying to have to farm those on top of anima

deep pawn
#

Eh, it's fine

What's that in reply to?

#

The criticism that rep is best earned from ignoring pvp?

silent urchin
#

ffs

deep pawn
#

Twitter doesn't work well on my phone so I don't know what that refers to lol

#

Muffinus shouldn't have made his first tweet sound stupidly ominous

#

I don't know what would be better for me than cutting the grind in half or more

silent urchin
#

He's tweeted several times they're looking at nerfing fire swirl and some other stuff, as well as the renown grind

deep pawn
#

I don't use Twitter so I only see stuff posted on here or reddit so that "for now...." Is literally the second thing I've seen a dev say about Plunderstorm

#

Goes back to Devs really shouldn't be using twitter to give news

deep pawn
#

Good, they nerfed the grind

#

Someone who just won got like 2700

rain cave
#

just got nearly 2k rep from 1 match because I just cascaded accidentally

#

Hotfixed on EU as well?

tulip sun
#

Oh wow

silent urchin
#

said all regions, but EU is going down for maint in 5min

untold totem
#

hi
one question this game has people
I'm going to start playing it

deep pawn
#

I think it's still popular

silent urchin
#

oh hey EU back up already

#

still don't know what this is :(

#

postmaster mailed it to me on login after patch

deep pawn
#

It's supposed to be one of the meta achievement mounts

#

Supposedly hotfixed

#

Check your recent achievements and see if a mount is in collections

#

They added mounts for each zone, time rifts, and taivan

silent urchin
#

1237 for third

#

we all exploded within a second lmao

deep pawn
#

Seems low, kill moar!

silent urchin
#

and the mounts/new achievements don't seem to be showing up either

deep pawn
#

Still bugged theb

silent urchin
#

and as you say, the mounts should go direct into the collection so not sure what the item is for

#

... blizz may have broken something. I got 3 messages of the day when logging in, two for completely different guilds

deep pawn
#

It failed to add to collection so it tried to send it to you

warm topaz
#

these are the changes! big plunder buffs

#

you can get 3k per win

thin warren
#

Yay

#

No need for it to be in this spoiler-channel tough 😛

tight wagon
vernal juniper
#

second win is like 1.2k+

vernal juniper
#

odds for a ptr build today?

dense plover
#

There’s no ptr on vendor

#

We just got 10.2.6

#

Season testing will be started after they notify

#

Because they need people to set aside time to play through raids and dungeons

deep pawn
#

There's no in dev post this week so I'm not expecting one.

#

I do hope it's soon. I really want to get to Timerunning

#

Gimme 10.2.7 in 9 weeks

rain cave
#

when I won yesterday I had like 1.5k

warm topaz
deep pawn
#

it was 800 for me a few hours ago

upper pasture
#

the daily bonus isn't increased, plunder from kills PvE/PvP and golden/above chests are.

glad niche
#

ugh. rank 20 orz half way there

upper pasture
#

You can do it! Just think it’s only been 2 days!

glad niche
#

2 MORE AND IM DONE

upper pasture
#

Well, 3

glad niche
#

shh

#

stoppin for now tho

#

i don wanna do no more

#

its east coast prime time now anyways

upper pasture
#

I’m just doing 5 levels a day

#

That way I’m not burnt out on it

glad niche
#

that is basically my goal, i just keep goin if the rounds have been kind

#

pepe is in 4 more ranks

rain cave
#

takes a good chunk of my evening to even get that

#

dunno how people can sit down and play the same thing for multiple hours if it's mutliplayer

#

like even normal WoW usually I get on for 1-2 m+ once in a blue moon atm

tepid fiber
#

Friends, communities, engagement, fun, interest

rain cave
#

what about em

upper pasture
#

that's how people play for more than 1.5 matches

rain cave
#

there's nobody to really play with :p my wow friends aren't playing it

#

I'm not in any communities

upper pasture
#

you seem to have the same issue with M+ tho too

rain cave
#

the game mode isn't really that engaging to me, it's more like an idle game

#

not very hype inducing

upper pasture
#

you said it yourself you hardly play 1 or 2 keys

rain cave
#

yeah because it feels like the game actively fights against me sometimes

upper pasture
#

it's literally nothing like an idle game

rain cave
#

in not fun ways

rain cave
#

literally just play it muted while listening to other stuff as like a time waster

upper pasture
#

ah so it's like checkers then

rain cave
#

I'm inherently not a huge fan of battle royals in general tbf

#

I don't like how everything resets

#

and you can't take some kind of starter loadout in

#

I want to play my build

#

I get fun out of buildcrafting and making em work

upper pasture
#

the starter loadout IS the basic loadout

rain cave
#

that's what I mean

#

when I was reading their post

#

I'd assumed this would be like

#

make a character, choose their classes, level up to get talents and legendary effects

#

not this

upper pasture
#

if you could customize the loadout everyone would decide "X is the strongest" then everyone would run that

tepid fiber
#

If you don't have fun playing it, that's okay. Not everything has to be for everyone. The people who do enjoy it, can

#

Exactly

rain cave
#

that argument has been done to death imo

upper pasture
#

so to cut to the chase they made it so everyone starts with the basic stuff

rain cave
#

who cares if meta slaves find the "ideal" thing

tepid fiber

Plenty
