What if they “have no current plans” for mission tables for dragonflight because the mobile game for WoW they are working on is pretty much a mission table that works outside of expansions and will become “evergreen”
pet battles
Idk, I’d kinda low key be disappointed if they’ve worked this long on pet battles mobile or even mobile mission tables
why?
and it doesnt have to be pet battles as they are
just like ion said
they way things are arent good
and you could do something like setting up defense who knows
an auto battler would be fun
Oh? Did he talk about the mobile game?
about pet battles
Ah, I see. Well I hope it has something to do with our accounts and isn’t solely another mobile game with nothing to do with WoW but just the namesake or theme
why?
i just think youre just limiting opportunities if you have to tie it to wow
Because what would be the point of a WoW mobile game when it doesn’t do anything for your WoW account?
cause theres a ton there you can use for standalone stuff?
That’s great but why would WoW players care about it then?
why do they need to
It would then just be another mobile game
it sounds like you want them to force wow players to play it
Because Blizzard wants us to care about it?
you might require player power to play a mobile game
that aint the only means to make one
nor will players like being forced to do it
No but if it’s a pet battler system that lets me level my pets away from my computer that would be nice
But if it’s a pet battler system that doesn’t do that. I wouldn’t be playing it
Because why would I?
If it’s mission table that lets me do mission table away from computer that would be great. If it’s some strange game that has nothing to do with my actual account why would I bother playing it?
If it’s something that doesn’t tie into our accounts why are they making such a big deal about it? They wouldn’t.
yeah your view is just very narrow and focused on it having some influence on your character
at that point why waste any resources on a mobile game when you can just do it within the game
Not character persay but account
if it';s some mini game to level pets, might as well ahve it be a feature within the game
cause leveling is shit as it is
zero point to make a mobile game for it
and dedicate resources for it
To have people spend time doing WoW stuff away from their keyboards when they can’t be at their computers obviously
m+ mobile when
Seems like you’re the one with a narrow view
i'll just pray to azeroth it has zero ties to my character where i'm forced to do it, and not because it's fun on its own
That’s the thing if it’s pet battles you aren’t “forced” to do it because you can also level them up in game. It’s not the only way to do it it would just be another way to do it.
It also creates the opportunity for outside engagement for the game and can on a rare occasion spark a conversation.
sounds like mission tables
You never know you playing on your phone might spark someone’s interest and cause them to look into it and or look into WoW when they probably would have never looked into WoW. 🤷♂️
you know what else could do that better
Some witty thing
a game based around wow that's fun to play for anyone that doesnt have a wow account
But that’s the thing, that wouldn’t make them create a WoW account just a whatever mobile game account
the only reason i even entertain the idea of pet battles is the possibility they do some interesting mechanic or gameplay for it
But if you wanted to collect the battle pets you needed a WoW account to travel Azeroth and collect them. Sure maybe the system will give you a few to start with but to get all the “extra” pets you’d have to get them in WoW
It's better for that potential target audience to have the two separate. Maybe a bonus will be awarded for linking accounts, but I don't think a tied progress should be in scope. At least not this early
they have the "same" thing in league, and it really didnt do anything to tone down toxicity as far as i know,
though someone that plays league more actively may be more helpful
nah you never gonna quit wow, as the bald man says "you know it, i know it, everybody knows it"
you guys gonna be sorely disappointed if you keep hyping yourselves up for things that are your own fanfiction
"you dont have to be the best covenant" "you dont have to get your second legendary" "you dont need to have 4set" and whatever other reason that in reality, are totally the opposite, because pugs demand it and a lot of guilds do too
they do? All I know is that they say punishments work and reduce offences
though you have a few psychos with 300 accounts who just dont care
they have a whole "do you accept to be whatever in the league community" or some shit, popup when you boot up the game
as with literally everything from botting to RMT, just a simple text dump so they can say "oh but we did this" isnt gonna do shit,
moderation/enforcing the rules to a point where it is a net negative for the people doing these things is actual effort
botting in classic/tbc is still a big problem, because their ban waves are too few and far between, so the botters recoup their losses easily even after being banned
Yup!

Looks like you can do it on any difficulty aslong as the affix is active
Cause no way my guild is clearing through all hc 
Ahaha, yeah it seem LFR is doable too.
Idk what they mean by abilities
Like how good they are ingame?
Or irl disability kinda stuff
how well they can play the game i guess, in terms of like "1 hand" or "deaf" etc
Ah ye figured
They might mean just physical stuff, but leaves themselves open to moderate how ff14 does
Especially regarding things like damage meters
this falls apart because m+ isn't really locked out. I assure you the first two weeks of the expansion even casuals ran all 8 m0s. If there are 20 bosses that drop 304 ilvl loot, there will be people killing all 20.
as i said, actual action and enforcing the rules is how you do it, if all their "action" is just putting up a text wall when you log in, its not gonna do anything
they've been really good about the advertising stuff based on how often I get notices that action was taken
I do hope they go full on and ban ALL advertising like that hints
advertising is done on lvl 1 character most of the time from what i remember, so not much lost there
It's a combo, if spamming in chat, yeah, level 1s, in the dungeon finder that's level 60 haha
Hopefully not
it is the same value comparison i said earlier, if by the time they get banned, they recovered their losses if not made a profit, then you are effectively failing at stopping it, which is why botting is still a big issue especially in classic/tbc
The new social contract is also coming with the updated reporting systems
Like having it come from lfr is that different than normal.
Well, they’re adding a bunch of report options which makes enforcement a lot more feasible
Right now for most reports you have to say “other” and manually type it. That won’t be as much of a problem
It shouldn't come from lfr
It's just a mount, probably can't even fly
Shouldn't be available via lfr
But why shouldn't it be available in lfr ?
Hurts their ego if people get it they consider unworthy
Difference between lfr and normal is minimal anyway, especially if it will be with content that has been out for months / more than a year
I'd say that LFR and normal are leagues apart
How about you drop the ad homs?
Then give me another reason that a mount for doing the fated raids shouldn't be from lfr too.
If anything normal is easier
Most arguments I hear about keeping things out of lfr and such is "If it's not exclusive it's boring"
I suppose you can have it dropped elsewhere or a lesser version of it. It could be changed to dropping after the expac, similar to the fire cat druid pouch. After all, many of these mounts are farmed by people after they're strong enough to solo the content
I don't see difficulty as exclusive
I don't have to give you a reason not to attack people who disagree with you
I swear you only enter chat to be passive aggressive now lmao
????? He attacks me and I'm somehow passive aggressive?
How did he attack you
No. Your blatant ad hom aside, LFR has been a sounding failure, further contributing to ilvl and difficulty bloat. LFR should have all gear drops removed and only be for casual players to experience the story, awarding an LFR transmog set upon completion of all wings. Nothing more than that. Current LFR encourages some very degenerative gameplay to a same but different extent as Mythic. If you've ever stepped into Current LFR, you'd see how unbelievably toxic and entitled those ppl are. I would not wish an LFR run upon even my worst enemies. So that, is why I do not believe the slime cat should be awarded from LFR. I'd encourage players to find a good normal lvl guild and just enjoy the content without the lfr degeneracy.
This is why I have you blocked.
Jesus Christ
The only toxic people I run into in LFR are the highly geared people who like to flex their ilvl on the “lesser” players
I've never met toxicity in lfr
It's just a face roll
Lfr doesn't harm anyone it just let's people experience content casually
I’ve also run into a lot of toxicity in guilds where there’s a weird disconnect between the “normal” players and the “elite” usually ended in people being left out because they “don’t know the fights” or “we don’t like them” where it’s pretty simple to teach people the fights in normal
People purposefully pulling a boss before everyone gets there to lock them out, chat that puts Barrens and trade chatvto shame, kicking players for shots and giggles, etc
Sounds like a cherry pick from one time
Weird, usually my LFRs are pretty silent
Since I've never heard or encountered anything like that
People usually only speak when spoken to in lfr
But then again I’m not saying that’s all the lfr experience since I’m not everyone
But you don't have to do lfr if you don't want either
Also your proposed solution doesn't fix the issues you stated
But when I see people pulling bosses or acting a fool I inspect them and usually it’s the mythic gear people doing the silly stuff
Exception, not the rule. Every time I've stepped into lfr on an alt has been absolute hell. The amounts of toxic trolling, purposefully trying to prevent people from getting to the boss, purposefully getting people killed for "fun"
Lfr is a hellscape
Then don't play it if you don't like it
But most people never have that issue
If anything it sounds like you care too much
It's fucking lfr
Just go with the shitpost
Lifegrip people into mechanics
Lots of "Blocked messages"
Tbf a big way to combat ilvl bloat, would be to make LFR "storymode" and it doesnt drop gear, or if it does, its cosmetic.
Normal/hc stay the same
Mythic either drops the upgraded appearance but its cosmetic, or drops upgraded appearance but its same ilvl as HC
Idk, I think they should just do rewards like torghast rewards where you get rewards from the lower difficulties if you clear it on higher. Then put the mount on lfr and something on each step and let people decide if they want to put in that much effort for the things and people can get the mount that was supposedly a community voted mount
Why you got to be so spiteful? Maybe you're the toxic one, whose forgotten to have fun @subtle oar
I'm being serious
100% agreed. Lfr and Mythic should both only be cosmetic.
Swapblaster has always been fun, tbf
Exactly
With a group of friends. Intentionally killing some random player whose just there to get gear or see the story is horrendously toxic
Lol
I mean, you’re literally seeing it in real time right now. It exists
It's cool that the slime cat will be in LFR raid.
People who complain about toxicity are just as bad as the ones they complain about
Imo
Yup. And Saint is the toxic one, defending toxicity
See my point
Legion raids had a lot of pits, especially memorable being the ones in ToS, maiden of vigilance and Kiljaeden.
I dont have "cutting edge kiljaeden" because on the kill night, i swapblasted the tank off the edge right after he moonfired the boss and caused a wipe more than halfway through the raidnight
And got kicked from the raid for the rest of the fight, 100% worth it, but no cutting edge :(
I've done nothing to draw your ire except try engage with you legitimately on things you disagree on @subtle oar
And you block me and act snarky about it
Welcome to the internet
I'm not defending toxicity, I'm just saying that it's overblown
I block trolls and toxic people.
What are you gonna do about toxicity? Removing it removes fun
Because everything genuinely fun involving multiple people can involve toxicity
I'm neither
"Removing toxicity removes fun," what a nuclear take
Read the rest
And you wonder why you're blocked
I mean some things people consider toxic is fun but they take it to heart
I mean, sometimes you just gotta not take everything so seriously and you’ll be fine
Exactly
I'm having so much more fun in Dota after I stopped thinking and caring too much
Just have fun play your best
Didn't think I'd ever see you defend toxicity. That's a sadge
Not every boss owes you loot, not every vault will give you BiS, not every conversation is about you.
Weird take but okay
agreed
Since we're not using english, this conversation is getting a bit weirdchamp tbh
People call me dense and I can be but Bai has gone full on hateful wall
This is true. But as a player who pays their sub, they deserve not to not deal with toxicity
Nobody deserves anything
If you engage with other people, you're opening yourself up to their actions
If you don't like somebody it's still in your power to block them
And you can, by blocking people or simply not engaging with people who are known to be toxic. Hell half the reasons I don’t look for a real guild is because have had so many toxic interactions with guilds I’ve decided to just lfr it and will try again one day.
But removing any possibilities of negative interaction makes the game worse
And I have basically taken my own stance that I'll only block scam bots
Because to me nothing warrants a block
I can say that you have to go for the middle in terms of searching guilds, too casual or too hardcore/elitist will only give you toxic wasteland guilds
I've always gone for "casual mythic" as its called, which is "we have fun, and maybe we even clear mythic idk"
I mean, there are things that I’ll block people for. But mostly it’s people being derogatory and rude to other people.
I got kicked from a casual guild I was in because I made jokes at the expense of some other players performance
Blocking only goes so far. Those ppl still get into your lfr run. They still cause grief, they still purposefully fuck with you and ruin your fun. Defending that by saying, "Just don't take it seriously," is part of the problem.
Like really trivial shit too
Joking about somebody missing a vial in nathria for example
Fair enough it's your policy 👍
That's the beauty of it
You don't have to interact with people you don't want to
But ofc the only way to know you don't want to is to have experienced it already
it honestly sounds like you have forgotten that this is a game and not a job
exactly
Who?
you
??????
Pointing out that others intentionally are toxic and try to ruin other people's fun, is forgetting its just a game
Lmao
You're in here complaining about somebody pulling a boss in lfr, a game mode you also imply you don't care about and don't want
It is
It's like entering a tf2 trade server and getting mad at people being friendly and not fighting
Removing lfr does nothing for ilvl bloat when it's normal that is the previous season mythic
If you intentionally try to ruin someone else's fun, you are 1000% toxic
Ok so explain pvp
pvp realms??
they dont exist in retail
or just don't do the content
ah
PvP is literally players trying to stop others from progressing
Those don't exist anymore. Blizz realized how toxic it can be and separated it into its own mode
Lfr has been pretty chill this expansion
You can't have fun without stakes
pretty sure they made warmode for more than just toxicity
pvp servers being toxic is hilarious to me
Maybe the few times you did it
haha yeah
you join them knowing what you are getting into
This is Warcraft not sunshine and rainbowscraft
if u willing join it and complain about the pvp then wtf
yup
warcraft literally has 'war' in it's name it's meant to have that aspect
It is. Have 4 difficulties, all thar have to give drastically higher ilvl each tier, is bad. Making lfr and Mythic cosmetic only will drastically reduce ilvl bloat
I wonder what baifengs opinion on elden ring is
oh god
why remove the reward for higher difficulties?
if you do the content you should get better gear
Mythic ilvl gear is also there for progression
As you down more bosses, get more loot
They get easier
Imagine if mythic was being done on heroic ilvl gear all the time
Basically prog difficultly all the time
And also there's no incentive to finish it more than once
The bosses would get nerfed over time just as they do now, wouldnt be a big difference
Hi, I used to be a cutting-edge mythic raider. I can confirm this is a growing sentiment withing the mythic raiding community. Making exclusive cosmetics for mythic only and making it so everyone has access to the highest lvl of gear (heroic) would be a very good solution.
I disagree
I hard disagree
gear is already accessible to everyone, if you want better gear do harder stuff
They're already trying to fix ilvl bloat by making older content relevant for longer
exactly
Which is a better approach than removing content
Well this certainly devolved
True. That's why exclusive mythic cosmetics and no higher lvl gear, is preferable. Go all out on the cosmetics, pure bragging rights and also make it so everyone has easy access to the best gear (heroic, pvp, m+) is such a huge improvement and would make the casual player a happier player.
The casual player wouldn't see any of it
Let’s be real tho, this patch lfr is pretty much cosmetic only since you can get gear up to 252 in ZM and you can get your tier set from sand worn relics too
Since they'd only be playing lfr
I don’t think that would be the worse thing to happen honestly, I know a lot of players who’d feel complete if they had BiS H gear
Right?
Yes, but we also have so many levels of gear each patch, normals/heroics/mythics/normal raid/heroic
And that’s just group content
I still talk with a lot of mybguild, who all gave up mythic with SoD who all keep saying they wish heroic was the highest ilvl
Burnout is real but also just be happy with what you can accomplish and be good with that, honestly.
^^^^
absolute agree
Agreed. Which is why heroic, pvp and m+ should all award the same ilvl
and they do
but mythic is also above that
I'd say don't feel bad just because you don't have the "max ilvl"
just find what you can do and have fun
don't beat yourself up just because number isn't higher
just have fun when it goes up
the earlier people reach their power peak
the earlier they get bored
and will leave
lowering the ilvl per patch means each patch has to be shorter
if people are grinding mythic up until the next patch, chasing ilvl
that's fine
keeps people playing
we need content to last longer, a philosophy that blizz share
hence why they're bringing older raids and dungeons back in to current ilvl bracket
I've suggested going the ff14 route with ilvl and raiders playing now all say they'd hate it
Cause they wouldn't be better
Each tier only goes up 26 ilvl. This season adds tier bonuses and double leggos which is why it's more exponential than normal
Blizzard has data that shows players don't even notice anything under 10% power increase.
So that's why going up a difficulty is supposed to be about a 13-15% power boost.
This season on the whole is way ahead of last season cause of the secondary systems
I'd say they've actually managed to dial that number back in SL with soulbinds, at least to me
like kevin the ooze
and the mini stagger effect
or valiant strikes
but that's my perspective
Only after multiple nerfs where people were picking abilities they hate for a soulbind, but then they added mikanikos
Most conduits also got nerfed a ton
Never forget pelagos' end conduit that gave 5 or 8% permanent versatility or something like that
Or original heirmir where a soulbind ability was 10% of a tanks dps
TAUREN ROGUES
yeeeap, thats great news
Confirmed?
they are updating it
They’re probably not too hard to add tbf
so you can read on whats up
They just want the lore to be there
yea safe druid
fuck lore
but still, it's great they add it
😏
The ones they listed don’t require that
Mages and priests used to but all the ones that had the limitations had those lifted a while ago
Tauren mage, hell yeah
what races currently cant me priests, mages, or rogues
other than tauren
tauren can be priests ik
Not sure
let melog out and see
Looks like at least high mountain
That's really great.
Specifically high mountain Tauren and normal orcs
Yeah.
draenei rogues sounds hot
And lightforged and high mountain Tauren
when can lightfordged and worgen be monks 
oh damn thats gonna be cool when its coming
Probably never since worgen don’t have the ability to control their rage and lightforged are forged by the light, a force of order that will not allow for the chaos of being a monk

But Zandalari are monks so who fucking knows
I’m still very upset that they can be monks
they are just trolls but taller

Their race literally invaded and enslaved pandaren, why would the pandaren teach them?
aside from lore, gameplay wise all races should have all classes
people change i guess
There’s literally a ton of lore about how Pandaren do not like Zandalari
And I understand it’s old
But if Worgen and lightforged are excluded, Zandalari should’ve been
lore wont change
No lore is safe under StevieDs new management
maybe pandaren on horde were like "ok ykno fuck the past, we are on the same team now, we need as many fighters as we can get"
idk
just let people play the way they want
surely the pandarens dont hold onto grudges, especially when not every ztroll was involved with enslaving and killing pandarens
This hatred is older than the mogu stuff
also true
doesnt matter
There’s a whole war thing from before the sundering
yep
this is illegal for lore nerds
and
The Zandalari Troll Wars, also known as the Zandalari Wars or Zandalari Invasion, were local conflicts in Pandaria fought between the Zandalar tribe of trolls and the Pandaren Empire, 11,900 years before the First War. The Zandalari, allies of the mogu that the pandaren had previously overthrown, sought to claim large territories in Pandaria pro...
Deep running hatred
yea seemingly, still I am for gameplay first lore after, especially since it doesnt really change the lore itself
oh wait
It’s just disappointing that people had to beg for Paladin but monk lore was ignored

I mean lore already is out the window with green orc priests
not ignoring monk lore
awit ppl had to beg for palladin 
When Paladin was clearly defined in that same lore book
Tauren rogues is inevitable
name a tauren rogue beefstealthy
That’s all I’m saying
tho my rogue staying belf till i can play cross faction guilds 
Panda druids when?
tru
WHAT
Makes swnse
but so was DH and DK
Sense

Wait, rogues, priests and mages available for all races?
They also had the same limitations
ye
Here come the broken draenei roleplayers.

but why do it now when ppl want alot of alts
"ex follower of Akama™"
Lemme be a kitty Panda Blizzard!!!!
I already see them.

Oh my gods.
now i have to wait 2 yrs to use them
Anyone see the Ion/Asmon interview yet?
sneakyhooves isnt taken 
Nope.
I'm at work.
im just watching asmon
Am at work, twitch blocked on wifi
wut do u do as a job
Welder
o
Weld rebars into a lightsaber.
Lol
Or that.

You have to brainstorm how to get one.

i heard from my dads brothers boyfriends sisters dog they are giga buffing feral next expansion
and itll be bis in all content
@uncut lintel
Feral is good right now tbh. People just don't know how to play it because everyone plays balance instead.
Please continue that chat in #no-wow-discussion offtopic
what
what

Next week
o
watch out orange name scary 
I don't even know what chat to continue in off-topic. We were discussing feral being decent now. 
orange name means invisible privaleges
a dollar a day and u can run this server your way 😏
jk
now?
jk
meme on feral but im kinda sadge it has no reliable strong aoe 
outside of a big cd
No, later.
hit me up 
Can't I hit you now? I mean, if that's what you're into.

Gladiator boosts will be in very high demand, big stonks for boosters
Just get glad
Hopefully pvp next expansion isn’t just go in press cds and kill a player through 10 cds
Or demon hunters hitting 20k blade dance, a button they can press every 5 seconds
Or destro locks getting cookie crazy one shot kills with Chaos Bolt.
The playing field is planned to be less variable, so we can probably assume that knobs will be changed a little more often/drastically when needed
Earlier today I took 90k damage from 3 chaos bolts in less than a second with astral shift up

What the flock?
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
Or when sub rogues can hit 30k eviscerates 
30k being normal damage and it’s additional shadow damage
I've seen a rogue hit a 46k crit with Death From Above.
That spooked me. Thankfully Overpower goes through Evasion.
Went against a resto Druid who’s biggest regrowth on their ally was 86k crit 
And I managed to kill them.
My biggest PvP moment was catching both a rogue and a mage in my Spear of Bastion at once which secured the win.
They couldn't move from it.
Spear + Warbreaker + Bladestorm and my hunter friend just bombed the shit out of them.
Almost an instant win.
Ye double spear can win games if the enemy team aren’t careful
I'm gonna miss Spear of Bastion and Condemn when Dragonflight comes around.
Pretty sure condemn will be in your talents if druids are getting convoke
I can't wait to see the BM hunter talents
Merge Massacre with Condemn. Boom, best of both worlds.
did we talk about this?
was that what peeps were just talking about
since I made a comment about tauren rogues and I was only half joking lmao
we were talking about that yes
dragons breath highmountain tauren charge combo inc
also fire mage normal tauren might be BiS
I'm still torn about normal orcs becoming priests.
That's gonna be good.
And tauren rogues will be OP. Just another stun.

@uncut lintel
Someone earlier was saying that ilvl bloat was a problem
It was me
I just agree with their reasoning about gear needing to feel good and not wanting there to be pressure to do old content
I don't think ilvl bloat is an issue
and I think old content should stay relevant
like the idea of keeping the expacs raids relevant throughout is good
and bringing back old dungeons
and there's no good way to solve ilvl bloat
bai's solution would fillet the game and make it worse, whilst not fixing the problem
short interview, interesting
there's no way to solve a rising number apart from not making it rise
which would mean removing gearing
which they won't do
You can mitigate the ilvl rise a bit
but why does it need mitigating
Doesn't chagr u wete right :P
the numbers for ilvl don't even get that big anymore
the highest it went was only 1000
"Only a 1000"
Not a good point
Like I think 4-500 is the cut off point for it to feel meaningful
mate the numbers in legion were in the millions 1000 is nothing
Thinking about it, yeah there is no real issue either with the current rate
ofc past 10,000 ilvl numbers might get weird but
fr we're nowhere near an ilvl number problem
You need to somehow have a "jump" in ilvl between things to make people want to do your content, like in bfa crucible of storms ilvl wasnt that high compared to the current tier so apart from certains items that were strong for their effects people skipped it

I didn't like the fact that millions was a thing either
The numbers got way too big IMO
It also makes content from last patch obsolete though
Like it's lame that every expac can be boiled down and is meant to only be played.pqtch by patch
Rather than the whole expac
which is why I like how they're doing season 4 tbh
Also I missed this earlier but
TAUREN ROGUES?
Nice
With catch up gear every patch, it does make it obsolete anyway
True. That also makes it obsolete
It isn-= good either I feel :/
IDK maybe I'm a boomer talking in a kids body lmao
The bigger picture is that if you don't bring latecomer or unskilled people up, they can't do the content
And creates more fragmentation
We can, but people won't
We saw this happen bavk in TBC; People were stuck in Karazhan
That's the problem
They are indeed, catchup gear makes up for it
I suppose so
In TBC and Vanilla, guilds got stuck in a cycle of recruit a tank, gear them, try to progress the next raid, your tank gets poached by a higher tier guild
Fair enough I suppose
I ain't gonna argue with history
But I feel that they need to find some way to make stuff from a patch or two ago semi-relevant. Rather than abandon it immediately
But you can get the problem of having to go back and do sylvanas for the daggers if you did not get them as rogue and you want to be optimized, which can feel bad
It depends on what you mean by that. Are you asking that people should still do it to do recent content?
I like the idea of a last season victory lap recap
the millions felt thematic for the end of legion, but I agree overall
Or font and razor/coral in eternal palace that were pretty good in nya'lotha
true, but it would suck if you had to do previous raid to do current raid
But yeah, having to go back to the previous tier to do current tier just doesn't work.
At least not anymore
Ion said that'd be a system for content drought at the end of expansion
The fated system seems to be an end-of expac thing as far as I know
it's a shame
I want them to expand it to bringing back old raids mix xpac too
like having a select old raid brought up with its tier to stand alongside the current raid
We saw people bring new players into their guilds and take them thru that content to get them caught up.
so you can mix tiers
It's good in a way that people that skip a season can experience the raid in a more challenging way
and have unique old effects brought back
What if your bis tiers are in the 18th week of the season @rain cave ? Do you just "underperform" until it ?
That'd be too much if they brought old old raids
yeah, and as I said, then promptly got poached by higher guilds who had churn. Why do the gearing of a new tank when other guilds are doing it for you and then you can dangle fast progression through the next tier
wdym?
It was also pretty negative when you forced your guild to go back and attune the newcomers
I disagree. Always keeping a tier feel fresh and fun is the ideal, and making a raid from the past relevant on par with a current raid of the tier, is just a great idea.
has ToS and the current raid existing at that ilvl
Like if that's the type of things you want, Classic is right there for you
then in 10.3, they add another raid
If you brought, let's say, 5 raids in this patch, and you have the rotation of raids that fated will have (one per week), and the tier set you need to be bis is in the 5th week, do you just wait for the 5th week for it, and then wait another 5 weeks before being able to farm for those tier pieces again ?
It is
ffs
One week nathria is fated, the next sanctum, the next sepulcher, repeat
That's what I'm a little woried about. Weekly rotation is not a good format for progression plays
So it's going to have to be easy to clear
just let everything be relevant, but if you want a weekly rotation give the current rotation like
a small bonus
Because otherwise you'd have to "do" all three raids every week if you wanted the most items
like all loot drops get extra stat
Which is a problem
Yeah making them all available is also a problem (also more fragmentation)
They can't let us do 32 bosses a week cause gearing would be degenerate to start.
Is it really a progress if the raids have already been done ?
They're higher difficulty and have additional mechanics
The plan is to keep that carrot going, so yes there will be progression
It already is with M+
Raiding is a different beast than m+, especially mythic.
Raiding is a pass-fail test
There is no guaranteed reward
the time commitment for raiding too 😓
It would be nice if dungeons were tuned high enough to simply be pass-fail. Though I suppose hard mode was almost exactly that. Maybe a good way to push that feeling down to smaller scale is to make 5-man content mode with high completion failure rate
LMAO WH
Tuned to max almost gear and always punishable mechanics
That honestly sounds horrible
It would be just for those that want it though
Like how mythic is for those that want it
That is fine
Not-not really
Not when you sit in there for 30 minutes and suddenly they jet for one bad pull
What I'm saying is that currently you get that feeling in 20-man content only
There are a few really good people that can't make that kind of schedule so they can't get the same experience anymore
A try in mythic is 5-10 minutes (with outliers, ofc), a m+ is 30-40 minutes, that'd be really bad if it was pass-fail
oh no, Holly Longdale got promoted to Executive Producer
who
So it's dungeons tailored for small guilds essentially
She came from Everquest to head WoW Classic
oh, is she the person from the reveal table
why oh no
She's very "old school minded" and she's against anything convenience based on her track record
That's good for the Classic fans
remove the 20 man mythic requirement? thoughts?
isnt that what classic ppl want
When Everquest first did their progression servers and people said, "These need instanced raids or no one is gonna be able to compete." Her answer was, "If you can't kill the raid target within 20 minutes of it spawning you don't deserve to"
100%
They added raid instances the next set.
What's the proposition?
Allow for 10 man mythic
or 30man
No. 10 or 20
You'd have to tailor every fight for them to be done with any size then
well it works with heroic
30 is just too insane and chaotic
Flex is not a good way to balance a challenge as we have seen
how so
And to have them be the same "difficulty" for each or you do different "races" for the sizes
As an example, in uldir Vectis was horrible to do as 10 people
But a cakewalk the more you were
Some mechanics are easier with less people, some with more. Especially with something that doesn't scale with just damage number
Things that play with room space, raid-wide coordination, etc
I suppose
But if you had say jailer mythic that was easier with 10 people, well... you'd bench half your usual team then
but it's just weird how everything else can be flexible
It's good to have a tight challenge mode
I think mythic should exist ofc
I don't think it's that it's a problem in it's current state
tbh, i think there should be a smaller raid size option
just would be nice to allow smaller groups to tackle mythic
The game should not be made around the race
but i understand balance can be an issue
^ this I can agree with
the race isn't even an official event
it's just a bunch of hardcore guilds sweating whilst all the devs do is point at the winner
it shouldnt be anyways
It's not the reason it isn't flex anyway lol
exactly
yeah it's not the main reason, but it works conveniently
world first should be something aspirational
anyone can do it sort of vibe
but it's become a tournament where it's the same bloody people
then youd have to equalize the competition
That's any sports and even the olympics. The nature of competition
you cant really compete without the resources the big guilds have
companies SPONSOR the race which is ridiculous to me
why ?
that isnt bad
it is the same in any sport ?
because it's not an event
i mean, it is
yes it is?
And that's what mysterious and great about it lol
and scheduled events
the crowd is behind the streams ?
Welcome to digital events of this age. Some conventions and concerts are like this too now
what does it change from a football match where you watch it from home and see the sponsors from your television ?
boomer take i guess
it's like sponsoring somebody to livestream themselves working out at home
sure you can do it
it's just weird
Are chess events sponsors seen as bad for you?
are they made by the chess creators ?
just strange
don't think so
wdym
you say it is weird because it is not "official", ie made by blizzard
what
because there's no event
which is an event ?
streaming allows them to make rediffusion and such during the night
rediffusion?
rebroadcast, wrong language
but if you remove the rebroadcasts, that's just as much content as any other
Some outside events and festivals do last a week-end or even a week though. Some even 24h. They should also be called events
there's no teams list
everyone's a contender
so there's no 1 stream
what if some rando guild wins?
and nobody is streaming it
i mean
wasn't part of the event
That would be great actually lol
it happens a lot
But they would be tracked
can't always track em tho
Arent they tracked automatically ?
Yeah the way it's been organized today, I understand that you'll notice the outlier catching up
is it a problem ?
no
I'm just saying it's why I think people blowing up world first is weird
sponsoring it
making an event of it
very greedy
imo
In any case, we can simply agree that you may have a different take for what qualifies as "an event"
would you rather we go back to old days where noone streamed it ?
Of note, wasn't Executive Producer Ion's job before he was promoted to Director?
it's just weird that people stream an open season as an event
where there's specific teams
when there aren't
competetive WoW is an oxymoron to me
so your personal opinion
well, I just don't understand streams in general
I only watch the dota 2 international
so even an official event by blizzard, that's scheduled, with an audience, and teams still doesnt fit what you ask for
not really
I'm not saying I think of world first and MDI the same
it is an event by your definition
I don't hear much about tha dota2 one actually
it's the biggest tournament in esports wew
it is?
I'm trying to make a point lol
This list represents video game tournaments with the largest prize pools in esports. Tournament data is based on information published on the internet. Sources include news articles, forum posts, live report threads, interviews, official statements, reliable databases, VODs and other publicly-accessable sources that preserve "historical" informa...
yes
by a lot
holds the top 6 spots for prize pool lmao
that's prize pool
idc about the prize
prize pool = size
is the prize pool really the best metric to follow ?
to me
Prize pool is probably not the best metric
what other metric is there
this is just misleading
But anyway as we can see, different bubbles
Viewers?
We don't watch or follow so we dont' know
although league's prize pool has always been too low
and i think only recently do they add to it with skins
viewers is tbh the best metric for that
Yeah that's my first thought
if you have 40 millions prize pool but 50 viewers (hypothetical numbers), your event is not big
like, what event doesnt use viewership as the metric to care about?
One rich sob who really like dota2
so, big money
One guy 🤷♂️
league could easily award this much
if not more
Let's have Elon musk host something bigger with just his peers. Is that a bigger event?
keep in mind dota's prize pool is 25% of what people pay towards the prizepool
and millions of people watch league
mostly
If i'm looking at peak viewers, the international 2021 was at 2.7 millions at peak with 40 millions$ prize, and league of legends 2018 championship had 200 millions at its peak with 6.5 millions prize (google numbers), which event was the biggest ?
no way league had 200 mil viewers lmao
I doubt there's even that many twitch accounts
or league players
There are that many
no shotttt
That year winners were chinese
that would be fucking nuts
There are a LOT of chinese players
lol
Twitch aint the only streaming platform there exists anyway
LMAO
and why would twitch be the only platform you count viewers in?
at one point that much people played league monthly
idk what the numbers are today
league is a massive game
If you want numbers, there are 29 chinese servers for league of legends compared to one per region otherwise
It is not popular in the west
like it's not got a very hardcore playerbase from what I've seen
(for the other platforms for stream i meant)
even if people play it a lot
It has a very hardcore playerbase
hundreds of millions of players is not that popular?
that's not what I mean by popularity
millions also take part in ranked
yes
Lol what are you even on. Like literally everyone I know has played league at least once in their life
well judging by all the definitions you have brought up, they dont mean anything anyways
If you want to say a game is not popular, lol is probably not the best choice
I'm trying to say that like, even if it has a ton of players those players aren't particularly invested
and if most players played once a week. So what?
none of what you say makes sense
the players are invested
But like you are saying
I'm not trying to make apoint
and league is probably one of those games that does require huge investment
I'm just discussing
specially if you want to be remotely decent
even the most casual players play several games a day
I'm not that casual about league and I sometimes only hop on for a single round of ARAM
in fact I mostly do that
does not remove the fact that players are invested in it and the game is that popular
🤷♂️
hey I have just read about the account sharing achivment Do I understood it wrongly or this one should be now account shared SO I should be able to unlock the requirement account wide?
but on vendor is still locked https://i.imgur.com/xQ8bnnO.png
same as https://i.imgur.com/WylBU7R.png and others
We don’t know yet, since they haven’t really gone into detail
From what ik atleast
mmh ok I've submited as a bug in the time, who knows
I don't wanna do the sancutm on 4 gear's type
Ye like the rewards from court of night rep
Want the mail set but already got exalted on a Druid, ain’t doin it again
Would be neat to not have to do all that again
the rep is kinda ok to me
but if you haven't done the sanctum... it is quite hard content and you need to spend a lot of hours on it
Rep grinding can be tedious enough, let alone having to do it on every armour type
And having to get the sanctum upgrades to even get the rep quests
I'm hardly against rep account bound 😄
if they are cosmetics, fine
but for the rest I hope they never do it
Idk if you got the rep to exalted already it’s unnecessary to have it locked to just that character
It actively makes people not want to do it if you have to do it another 3 times
It’s basically the same for sanctum achievements, completely unnecessary to have it locked
I mean if it is only for cosmetics fine
but for gear it will be a very bad thing for the economy
since you can just spam, boost your pg
and do economy on all the servers with no effort
They said themselves gear and progression won’t be account wide
Which no one is arguing for tbh
Although in cases like conduit items from reps they should be account wide
ye ye if no sell-able items on ah fine to me
Depends on the gear imo
edited my message
I should say, if no items involved in economy (even bop, not only sell able)
Evokers are yesterday's news. How bout them Tauren Rogues!
Mages have better use for an aoe stun than rogues
Regarding the achievement. I think it's just meant so all your characters will show the same achievement points
Was apparently annoying people when covenant swapping
don't forget the tauren mages with extra crit damage
also
draenei rogues?
vial, evasion, cloak AND gift of the naaru now
and even lightforged rogues will be hilarious I think
And the former follower of Akama™ roleplayers.
I don't care what's better at what... I've never played just for racials... But I've always wanted to play a tauren rogue for sure.
aye
You're gonna hate tauren rogues in PvP.
Stun stun stun stun stun stun racial- VANISH!
Them Tauren Rogues though! Let's gooooo
TAURENNN ROGUEE
imagine them using killing spree
Lmao
Need to make vanessa vancleef mog on tauren
mr smite?
even if they were, we do have way too many elves
We have too many elves but people were asking for these specific ones before we had too manybelves
I’d like for them to be customizations rather than a full race
But data mining is suggesting they are on the way

man can't we just cull some of the elf population if we get darkfallen
I mean, every elf population has been culled
in WoW
night elves got massacred, nightborne are just a small group/city of highborne offshoots, and had a bunch die in the legion War, blood elves are blood elves it's in the name
tbh void elves might have the most stable canonical growth atm kek
I'd prefer tuskarr I think
or maybe ogres
I like elves, but we have a lot
nighbourne, belvs, void elves, night elves
2 for each faction is pretty good imo
I hope the new half giant people are going to become horde
they look sick
also one of them is using an old classic sulfuras precursor model
ragnaros back again? xd
ragnaros the dragonlord
Really sick models.
Not possible. We killed Rag in the Firelands, the elemental realm of Fire. He's 100% dead and there is a new Firelord
I mean, I was half joking, but if you'd played the dark iron allied race scenario you'd know that its story is about stopping people from resurrecting ragnaros
so it's on the table at least
even if I doubt it
that being said it's funny how you only respond to people you don't like to point out where they're "wrong" in a passive aggressive way lmao
sheesh
why do people expect another race
let alone another fucking elf 
@subtle oar ragnaros 2.0 😏, we name him raggy
Yeah it could be possible.
Like with the Legion quest for the wind elementals.
@subtle oar : ( i really want jellycat, i hope we can get it in lfr
if not thats how u know they only care abt real raiders
