Ulduar especially was painful
I'm rn mostly waiting for cata hoping they release it since people talk well about cata raids
I know people bash on it a lot bcs of all the changes it brought
well Paragon with all Feral raid was so funny
But my friends that played it originally said the raids were great except one
I only started playing in the end of classic so I'm a bit new to wow still
dragon soul suck
I think it was that one
yep
What made Wotlk so fun was the idea of the unknown, Arthas was such a great tragic character that we were all on the edge of our seats to see what shit he was gonna do next
Plus the expansion trailer was so epic with the voice over work
also bcuz of WC3's lore hype
Ye, missing on that original experience prolly made it way worse
Yeah so much of this
I think blizzard missed the boat not doing a Warcraft 4 to have a self contained story imho
XIV succeeds in this because their story is very single player
no need to make wc4 if the story wasnt out of the way
mist was like w/e moment about story
True
And now getting a WC4 would be so so off the mark from the original
I’m glad I got to experience vanilla and even classic, wow saved my life many times over from depression so I’m thankful for the time I got to spend with it
I have no idea what they should start at this point when lore is so mess up
Yeah you really can’t other than a reboot?
That’s what FF did and it solved a lot. 😂
I barely talked to people online now after wow I found a lot of friends and pop on discord to talk to people almost every day so at least in that its good
A lot of people say that they should branch the story using wotlk classic
But I don't think that would work
I made a lot of friends at that time from yelling recruite ppl for raid


It’s so difficult to say these days if wow is just bad or if we’re all just trying to chase that nostalgic moment of the unknown. When WoW launched it was in a new era of the internet so we were all kinda just figuring it out
Now we’ve seen it, until maybe some Star Trek augmented reality I don’t know if we’ll get that same sense of the unknown again
Of maybe both things are possible
You can't really relive nostalgia with wow. People mentality today are way different
Yep agreed
Classic was a better chance of Blizzard bringing new people to the game
nah the game was fun, you just logged and play. no need complicated rotation to have fun.
The problem with retail today is how complex it is
I tried getting to it but can't because of how complex the lore is, how many things are to know and to do
I think twitch and or streaming added to the issue as well with streamers min/maxing and rushing to end game with everything. We didn’t have that back then. It truly rips the fun out of every new game release
Not even only the streamers, but the community itself, even pugs today are quite discriminative
I looked at S2 currency and upgrade system for mythics and thought “nah.”
Can someone make me a yassified Roger Smith? Please uwu
what is that?
I feel like if you don’t know what I’m asking for then you can’t help me
Oh totally but that’s due to seeing the most skilled players playing perfect and thinking every player needs to be the same ya know?
It’s like the yassified Patrick star but it’s Roger instead
still dont know
No fucking idea what you’re asking for so I’m out
Ye, the streamers influence def increased that
I remember classic beta was insanely fun because not all streamers got access. As soon as it opened up my god they stripped every damn piece of fun out of the experience for new players experiencing wow for the first time
Look at D4, same thing. Rush to end game, complain.
I mean, i had fun. Like I said exploring outlands on tbcc was a great experience to me
Same
But once you get to raiding is when it starts getting problematic
Private servers definitely made that worse
That too
I always wonder what it woulda been like had there been no private servers and classic came out
theres a lot of things that influence
Yeah true
Include bad management by Blizzard
Some of the changes they do are ok, but some mess with how the game feels just to push you into that try hard group
i mean people were try-harding week 2 of classic, how is it blizzards fault lol
Idk about classic
But the latest changes in lk are "you get gear faster to raid"
Skip content, buy a boost
Things like that, that appeal to people who are wanting that endgame content which I feel isn't wow strongest part
its always been that way even in the original, we recruited people to raid and we boosted them if they were behind in gear
A wild oxez has appeared.
endgame is literally wow's strongest part but I guess that's subjective
like take ffxiv vs wow. ff's endgame is pure garbage and the rest of the game is better than wow for the most part
I think it’s because it’s designed to stop playing at end game
Like the devs want you to go play other games and come back at the new storyline
I mean I assume endgame content = raid
wow's endgame is very accessible atm in dragonflight, my alt been running 3-4 dungeons a week and almost caught up to my main
On TBC i liked the raids but LK the raids just feel weak
I mean, retail is a different game pretty much
True I guess it’s like, do you like story? XIV. Do you enjoy endgame content that scales wit.h difficulty? WoW
but mid-game and endgame is not casual friendly
was comparing stuff like savage/extremes/ultimates to mythic raid / keys
On that ok, retail may have a better endgame
Ah yeah true
But were talking about classic
what's mid-game
farming gear
how is running 3-4 dungeons a week not casual
and get in a guild
my main is 445 doing higher keys and mythic raid, my alt is 438 barely doing anything lol

You too boo boo, have a good day!
Nice job @sturdy field you came in here and killed the convo you sexy son of a bitch
What an amazing set. I havent had a single transmog applies for months like this before. I still love it 😍
This one on Worgen is priceless too
Bearly




Lake either implies you're the worst, or BAER is the best.
This will not end well.
well we could also be in the middle!
FF14 story is all right but they literally shovel it down your throat by doing hundreds of (mostly) uninteresting quests
And you can't do much until you've vinished MSQs
Started playing FF14 with friends and lots of them stopped playing because of that
I skipped all of it to do the last raids in shadowbringers with people I play with, then re-did all of it with new-game+, there are options
but yeah MSQ isn't for everyone, a lot of it is "talk to this npc, watch 5min cutscene, talk to this person, go back there talk to this person, talk to that other person" QUEST COMPLETE
yea if you dont like the talking to people and the cutscenes it's not going to be an enjoyable experience for you
When do you think we will see free-to-play WoW
I think a few next patches depend on how succesful trading post is
that the future
subscription is better
i dont think ppl will pay sub to play game
then just hope they make a better quality game
i would like an even better quality game, ye
I mean, I do like this, SWTOR did this right by making it interactive, played Vanilla FF14 + First Expansion it sounded like a bad visual novel

@white carbon is bad enough at math that she will just use < instead of <= so it's indeed possible.
But if we're both in the middle.... What are we in the middle off?
The middle
the goodness of the people
BAER rather be in the middle of some BAERs
BAERs are people
No, BAER is BAER
BAERs are BAERs


BEING LITERAL AS FUCK
look at this amazing inforgraphic I did
we could be snuggly in the middle
and still have proper usage of >
but baers and kitties are friends
so are you saying BAER and me are shit?!
?
i see how it is 
yo I'm cooler than everyone nice
yeeea
Sooo like every MMO? 😂
ARR is by far the worst part of the MMO because of that, people forget when ARR came out those kind of quests were standard in MMOs
hello.
Thank you.


Technically, if you're somewhere on an infinite line aren't you always in the middle ? 
Depends on which infinite. The options between 0 and 1 are infinite, yet 0.99999999 is definitely not the middle
At least BAER isn't illiterate

IM NOT ILLITERATE
there's always room in the Hilbert Hotel
Infinite makes my brain hurt, I'm dumb bear 
Reminds me of those mind boggling levels in baba is you
🤝 









any idea how I can get into Shaman discord?
All links I find for Earthshrine discord are outdated












😈










Hey folks, are there any resources for still obtainable guardian / feral forms?

















Hell ya, @unreal scarab will have new content to post
Excited for you Amance
wot the
Anyone know if +16's in Tuesday's vault will be upgradeable to 447, or is it only AFTER 10.1.5?
when 10.1.5 hits they will upgradeable... which is on tuesday 😄
its retroactive
Guess who rolled in dead bird

Guess all the bear druids here will finally get some love.
DIEOFCRINGE
you can see male genital parts in the scene too
lol
In the modding community, they are actually able to implement these kinds of scenes in beta without official mod tools.
Time to re-learn my modding skills for the upcoming BG3 and Starfield.








@balmy current @white carbon @charred fractal @hoary moss
the 2nd one is me and my gf ^^
Your left or your right hand?
sprays the window Go away Zuck.
that's funny cuz I updated my oculus quest 2 headset & got a Zuck jumpscare when his avatar was next to me in vr. I punched and punched but his screams only sounded like drywall breaking





Bear is friend. 

wtf

The bears are doing weird things lately.
BAER good support!
BAER always friend
wtf

@unreal scarab secretly pre-order the game












Oh you know it
dont worry modders will make more of that
it was a taboo for some communities, someone even got ban for this kind of scene in the past.
now it is a green light


Yeah it really is strange why they actually animated an entire scene for it.
I mean for people who always post bear meme's it works for them
That's MONKE 
Cursive writing is hard. X)
Some of those look weird to me though.
out of all those, I would say the upper case B is the closest to mine own.
wait a second
thats
an o
but it was supposed to be a c
I just realized
there are like 10 os

I'm trying to learn how to get all the letters in the style of the B
I'm working the letters until they are smooth & easy to write
Im sorry but the A looks terrible :(













what is this?
I cant see anything
open ur eyes


Me feel seen 
First I was afraid I was petrified




What should I change






You were petried by the fire. 😄
I literally -
Weird question on one of my characters when i open map the map its fullscreen but other characters its small?
I would open the first loop on the bottom so that you still get the curved style and I would just get rid of the one for the middle line
Show me :)


¯_(ツ)_/¯





in a way ppl destroying towers are helping create more towers
cause you cannot double post to a tower
if it's a new tower tho...














(This is still the same tower btw, just a new floor)









Time to see if MS improves WoW any
My prediction: nope.
They really don't need to honestly, there's enough WoW players that make excuses for it for it to be continually profitable
Everyone wants WoW to be improved and not 2 people agree on what "Improve" means
That's true. At this point I think they'd have to dump money to make a WoW 2.0 from scratch
Yeah
Anyway I'm playing Wasteland 3
only thing that counts is to get rid of bobby boy 
And if they did make it from scratch people would want their characters etc transferred to WoW 2.0 which would bring in all sorts of issues
No one would want to start over
If you liked Divinity and are waiting for BG3 just try it out it's 7$ on Steam right now and the game is totally awesome
Might try it out! I loved Divinity
Granted at this point I have XIV, XVI and D4 sooo
Real
Cod=free money glitch
Activision recycle gg ez
free money just copy/paste old game

Recycle old dungeons as m+ = revolutionary content
Yep

Thank God temperatures will be cooler than they currently are, I'm helping with the celebrations in 2 days








Bear pvp
I always come back for S1 to try out the new dungeons then I quit after because of this
If they introduced new dungeons every other patch or something I’d be down, but I’m not refarming the same gear for an ilvl increase
Looks like it’s on gamepass 👌
I see an intruder here.
The fact that these trinkets alltogether are shit form most people just once again shows blizzard realllly sucks at making people wanna do new content without it being forced


Pigs
anybody else getting these errors today and know what causes it? looking at the trace it doesn't appear to be obviously tied to an addon i'm using and references the blizzard rewards window
Yeah i've been getting that all day
doggo
I cant bear super delusional level of xbox fanboys
About blizz
This is a curse, I tweet once about ff16 and then Ive seen a ton of xbox and ps5 tweets.
Don’t worry you’ll be farming them again in 2 more seasons 😂
Excuse you, it's not just doggo, it's a shibe.
He got that dawg in him
Anyone know the exploit that caused blizz to turn of M+ curious
Off-topic is the worst place to ask about in-game contents
Sorry didn't know, assumed it was for non druid stuff
Leaving a key counted as timing it, a lot of the 10 minute times keys were people just leaving runs after a wipe apparently

I don't see no cat

Lucky you ! I thought the OST was real good, turns out it's composed by Alexander Brandon (Deus Ex) and Mark Morgan (Fallout 1&2 among others)
The soundtrack for Fallout was composed by Mark Morgan. On May 10, 2010, it was released together with the Fallout 2 soundtrack on Morgan's Vault Archives album.
Love that track, ambient music at its best

Not what I want

For a second I thought that was a emoji and tried clicking it 






LOAF
I'm currently trying make a macro that cast incap roar and then pressing the same keybind will get me back into moonkin form. is there a specific way to do that?
yes. on your primary bar in moonkin form, put incap roar. rewire it so that it's whatever key you want it to be on. then in your bear bar put moonkin form on that same button
there's probably a way to do it with macros too but icba





Any WH40k fans, Im almost done with the Devastation of Baal book. Its so good I can only recommend it


yoooo a tower so cool

LMFAO

nice one kaed
I watch diligently, patrolling… making sure no towers are built. Like a silent Godzilla guardian.
Well until like 9pm then I sleep. Let one of you wonderful tower destroyers be the Zilla

Yes I told you 2 days ago

From the record most of the companies that MS acquired, their franchises are dead.
So dw WoW is dead for sure
Check xbox new exclusive games, they literally have none except starfield which is most likely broken if you looked at their games record.
Oh, sorry. 😦
I meaaan at this point, other than a p2w cash shop, I don't think it can get much worse. The game has two end game functions, mythics and raids.. and neither of them are all that great anymore.
Story is crap. PvP is crap. Classes feel half baked. New talent trees feel like crap. I don't know what else MS could do to kill it more.
Dragon riding was the thing that saved this expansion, other than that there wasn't anything new that was all that exciting. Hell even the talent trees were an illusion of giving players spells they already had in previous expansions. 😄
LoL true
I can say without a doubt unless WoW 2.0 comes out, I have zero plans of ever going back. This expansion finally killed my love of the game once and for all sadly.
If rumors end up being true that the next expansion is an old world revamp... Oooof.
Not at all. "We'll give you the ability to dragon ride on all mounts!"
Buuuut dragon riding gets really old after awhile.
Okay okay.. NEW TALENTS!.... that will be just rebooted old talents we took away!
You'll be able to play new races and classes though!...
if they add new class next expansion, they shouldnt try hard to balance classes
waste of time for nothing
balance shift every tier that why
Yep. But everything they've put out in the last two to three expansions seem rather short sighted.. I don't think that trend is going to end because they've realized it's playerbase will make excuses for ANY shitty thing they do

All good. With MS buying it like you said, it'll go down hill even faster
Yao looking for help navigating warcraftlogs. If anyone could lend their expertise I would appreciate it
Try asking in #balance
I did. No answer. So I came here. It doesn't necessarily pertain to a specific spec. It pertains to finding specific sets of data.
Maybe try more specific question
I planned on it. Once someone responded to my original message saying they could help. I'm wondering how I'm able to find DPS percentiles presented on a graph for specific ilvl ranges pertaining to specific class specializations throughout a specific M+ instance.
for example-- dps percentiles for ilvl 434 ret paladins in +21 vortex pinnacle
it doesnt look like theres a more specific filter for ilvl when you go into dungeon view, the closest you can get is damage by class/spec at keystone level?
m+ logs are generally not considered useful by the way
very difficult to extract meaningful information from them
^ this also, most people just don't tend to log keys, 21 (your example level) isn't a very high key, and when people log it's generally cuz they're testing funky stuff and wanna see how it does

I just watch Actman. He is literally killing D4.

D4 is way better than D3 imo, lots of ppl are dooming about Blizzard games on social platforms cuz there's always a huge audience for haters
But I played the game and feel the same. There is nothing to remember or talking about after finish the game that what souless game is.
Isn't this the case with all Hack'n'Sladh games though ?
(I'll grant you they built a cool character with Lilith but she did basically nothing the whole game)
No, for example Skyrim.
Skyrim isn't a hack'nslash, like, at all
It is
It's more of an Action-RPG
Ok, let's say this, what is the moment that impressed you the most about that game, and why would you like to share that moment with people?
I found none in D4
There are a few parts in D4 story which I found memorable, the whole storyline with Vigo, Elias and the Tree of Whispers or the Inarius / Lilith cutscene in the end
More globally, I liked how the game expands from the situation at the end of Reaper of Souls with most of humanity having been decimated and people being spread between various factions in order to survive
Ur coping abit
This actman guy made it to lvl 40
He has no idea how arpgs work
But imo the problem is that you played a Hack'n'Slash title expecting the game to be story-driven when this is never the case with the genre, even with great games such as Grim Dawn
that why I said it is souless
Tbf the story in all of them is pointless
But the game shouldn’t end when you hit level 50 and you grind the same thing to 100 for no benefit
Blizz released another half a game
Again it's the norm for the genre
Except it’s not
that what most casual level, isnt it?
Games like PoE have massive end game systems
ofc poe has massive endgame systems
because theyve been expanding the game over 10years
True but Path of Exile is an exception and people would argue that PoE is so complex that it's kind of complicated for newcomers to get in and know what to aim for
I’m not talking about the seasons additions
You don’t though cause I just said literally not what I’m talking about
(Haven't layed the game fwiw, I wanna play it but none of my friends want to play it with me :'()
if u looked at poe from 2013 or w/e theres basically nothing massive except the skill tree
and the poe skill tree isnt that crazy
if youve been playing
for more than 10days
But you can do maps (greater rifts), there is a economy so you can do that, crafting is it’s own endgame, there is build diversity
Might depend on class but there's build diversity in D4 too, at least for druids
People just don’t wanna sit and farm 1 thing over and over that’s why so many have quit
Is there really? There’s like 4-5 builds isn’t there
trading isnt rly an endgame system nor something really good
Absolutely the economy is an endgame system
idk swapping chaos for divines is peasant ig
No one is gonna jump to trade your 3 chaos for 500 Fusings
the only place trade is not scuffed is hc trade
It’s still a system whether you enjoy it or not
Hopefully seasons change something on d4
I'd say there's around 8, at least 8 with a different main frame, then there's variations
But everyone I know has already quit
Imo no one plays a Hack'n'Slash for long, Hack'n'Slash are repetitive by nature
This is typically the kind of game you wake up some day and think, "Hey, let's try this out after a few updates"
i mean
its a seasonal game
you play for a couple weeks on season and move on till the next one
just like poe
Yeah that too, people play some of the new season then come back for the next one
A lot do
a very small amount ppl play poe the WHOLE league without any breaks
even streamers whos job it is to play the game dont play the whole league more often than not
I play about 1.5-2months of a league
Which tends to be about average for streamers as well
Last Epoch is fairly new and it has a few things to do in endgame
Casuals quitting too
okay
its been more than a month
i dont think most games retain players for that long
It’s ok to admit it hasn’t been good so far
Yeah the logical argument is to compare a single league in PoE to a gamebreaking new game release that’s supposed to be the best of all time
That’s what d4 was hyped as
ive played it I liked it
currently not playing but didnt expect to spam the game
not sure yet if I prefer it over d3 or not
thats to be seen
Hype is irrational by definition
Idk anyone that isnt some massively irrational diablo/blizzard fan that thought d4 will be something crazy
Most ppl didnt have some high expectations
people tend to overhype new releases like crazy
Think it’s foolish to compare a new game no matter how hyped it is to a mature game with 10 years of content
Just like any new MMO vs. wow. Just an uphill slog of catch up on content. Ofc players gonna run out of gas in d4. Gotta see what they cook up over the next few seasons maybe even an expac
I enjoyed my time. Hit 100. Geared up. Killed Lilith. Not much to do rn so I haven’t played since. But I def had fun. They just gotta add more over time and not drop the ball with the game in general
Loaf !
Corgo!
Sooo basically every Blizzard game
it isn't so bad in DF, even the new dungeon is pretty cool story-wise
i liked the new dungeon, boss 2 is ranged not friendly
i meant the story of it, but yeah the dungeon mechanically is interesting
you can cc your own add, its not too bad
Until a WA solves it instantly


Everyone knocking on D4 story and I’m over here like…. What else do you want? It’s Diablo. Some kind of evil shit comes back and you gotta kill it…. Sounds like every wow expansion since BC 😂
WoWs lore is so convoluted at this point by having to know both in-game and book lore to follow the story
If anything people were extremely leery due to Immortal
Thats a cope
Only thing ppl were afraid of is p2w which obviously wouldnt happen in a full priced+ game
I just think D4's critics expected too much. For the vast majority of it's players though it's a Diablo game. It follows the Diablo pattern of gameplay. I dont get what people were expecting out of it.
Shit, Zelda ToK is the EXACT same game of Zelda BoTW except for building shit. It's a damn clone of the maps, combat and systems yet it's Game of the Year material? Get outta here.
I mean.. isn't this the ENTIRE endgame of WoW? 😂
Well Tbf
There are options if you want them
Raid, m+, pvp, achieves, mounts, rp, whatever
Percentage wise estimate though of those things, what do you think most do as players in WoW?
Achieves/mounts type stuff
Naw
I bet 50-75% of WoW players never touch even heroic dungeon or lfr outside of quest requirements
Wonder if there's any stats for that anywhere
Doubt
Can check what % of accounts have achievement
On a website called data for azeroth
Or something
Kind of accurate for how many ppl did the raid
truuue
Yo baldurs gate 3 ?
I didn't even hear about it til now
I'm about to hang up all my forgotten realms maps and play
Make sure to check out the bear and human gif that's roaming around out there
this is what it's all about
Im wearing strahd von zarovich's holy symbol of ravenkind. That's it
I need go talk to #guardian no particular reason don't look into it
It's an elven vampire. =/
Not a human.
Best scene in ANY video game
but I bet there are human characters with which that's an option. =/
so you may be right.
Hopefully we can cuddle with the squirrel after







We don’t stand for bear towers anymore in off topic. We Zilla guardians won’t be having it. We will destroy any and all attempts. You have been warned.

We need to spam more :HeyBear: so the guardians have too many actions per minute & go into seizures
There are many of us and too few of you. We welcome the challenge but we will be prepared.













I can't get over how people are freaking about this scene when in Baldur's Gate 2 you had to infiltrate the Dark Elf Capital and a Dark Elf basically forced your PC to spend a night with her unless you wanted to have your disguise exposed
i havent play BG2
Bald ur
panda chillin in the water

There's a huge difference between that scene visually though
BG2 graphics:
vs
It's quite a bit different 😄
I see nothing weird
Exactly, even if there were a sex scene back then with those graphics it'd just look like a mess of pixels
but Rimworld is doing fine with sex scene btw
I mean I don’t give a shit if they wanna show a bear and human getting it on like donkey Kong. I’m just pointing out that a picture of worth a thousand words; having pixelated graphics fucking opposed to a full CGI rendered scene are two vastly different things.
Hell ya, Leisure Suit Larry type

Hello, guys, is there anyone who can help me with Legion achievment for progress Glory of the Legion Hero achiev? For bear form
