I mean you were aggressive towards me for no reason 
Dont even front

i what O_O ?
I gave just a friendly suggestion IF you don’t like demise
u said " if u dont like demise then dont play it "
so i can leave for work later
Yeah?
Which is true
so overal solid day so far
If you don't like DTB, don't play it
It’s okay to stop
If you don't like Assassination, don't play it
I gave an alternate option…
im literally cookin
How is that putting words in your mouth
but now i have a deathstalker cook
x)
then let me tell you here for I do apologize for assuming a false intention, im sorry 😦
I def don’t
deathstalker first talent makes you summon a perma stealthed rogue from the shadows as your partner, copying your abilities at a 70% reduced rate and shares your hp
I’m trapped
deatstalker last capstone active talent: your deathstalker explodes, killing himself and you to deal the combine total hp to your target
Bro you have infinite PI so ur gucci
shuriken ? will uaccept my apology ?
cooked
@normal mist i wanna know what i have done that u say that, im curious. i always try to help in the most generous way
Did you know that warmer weather causes more turtles to be born female than male.
o rly?
You remind me of a player in #pvp that used to try to help others when he himself couldn't go past 1000 rating in pvp.
What I mean is, these past few weeks, especially with your talk about stats, we did tell you many times what to do and many times you didn't listen. And I saw you give bad advice once or twice and no I'm not going to go search for it
Or that polar bears actually have black skin?
The fur is white but their skin is actually super black!
did you know, that crickets are super lame
and should just be extinct
🥶
cause they always chip outside my window and i cant find them
Crickets lives matter
We ain't got crickets or grasshoppers here in Finland
It's peace and quiet all day long
well i never played PVP, and i always remind ppl that i am building a Meme build. and i do know what the stat weights are. recently i was only taking about stats because i am in touch with mister Bonespike cause we talked about trinkets and crit procs. I do not have any intention of leading people into a false direction. and Hell no i ever will. so if U are in your Opinion that i am a Bed influence to ppl in this Discord and others, please let me know it i will leave imidiately. Thanks
!stats
I'm no one here
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
I said it earlier, stacking speed makes you a better player
You're fine, no need to be mad, everyone has bad takes every now and then, we just gotta confirm what we are saying and accept the help that is provided by our Rogue friends that are far better suited than us
I'm a shit HC player myself

u see, just the message that i am telling ppl false stuff did make me mad, but i try to figure out what i should have said that was wrong, cause im realy genuienly (english F) try to advice in best terms of what the big guys are saying. and if i end up in my stuff i tell them not to follow my lead ... sooo im sorry if u take my stuff wrong then.
what i cannot stand are ppl who actually trigger me, i get mad at them, and it turnes out it was a misunderstanding and i apologize and they just ignore it. well done Grown up human
You sound like an adult because I can see myself in those words.
Still, you're fine, everything is fine, and don't let people on the internet dictate how you feel.
Maybe cut back on the uwus and owos a little
like thank you for actually talking with me in a way that we can as "adults"
thats just my personality UwU
dw i will try xD
Been there done that don't you worry
i do have a lot of experience on my own but its always hard to "assess" ppl u never write or talk before
Boy how well I know that xD
sounds like a skill issue on their part
get lapped NERDS
what the hell is htat
@quiet oar wanna ride into sunset togheter for 880k fire dmg?
(whichever is closest)
its a Ravenous Honey Buzzer, duh
Im in
what if the sunset is near you, then it loses value
is that a new tww trinket 😄
idk if the location of the sunset is implemented in sims either so will probably be wanky
is the sunset in the room with us?
Ye looks like its from beta
mhm but it sounds funny
can i imagine like a Hecarim ultimate ? where u just phalanx into the enemys with a fire horse ?
Where do we end up
if we ride in the direction of the sunset
yes
Get a room you two
We might end up in one
Sin OTP and Outlaw player, to unite rogue again
Sub can be the kid that throws the flowers
That'll be fuu
Actually, make Hacha the flower kid 
Whats that supposed to mean
Does anyone know if we can Cloak of Shadows the rock blast from Terros in Vault? (the targeted group soak mechanic)
Yeah you can
hacha only does it when the flowers give mastery
Yeah, I think Eleem would be best. The unnamed star of the show 
unnamed, hidden, whatever you wanna call it
subtlety is supposed to be hidden

L
bragging about having the mount while the hunters/druids dont have it is the best thing about the mount
i also just got it an hour ago
hahaah
my dude!
its the 2nd time i loot it lol i had to trade it w. the last guild 😭
well i didnt loot it 
lmao
our hunter looted it, but he didnt want it and last time he got it he sold it for like 7M
now he just had us roll for it
and i got it with a 90
i see

i just got it kek

i dunno man, we got a big pvp booster guy here who has more gold than he knows what to do with it
neat part is, your account now has that bird for druid flight form
and your hunters can tame those owls
that implies playing druid
well i dont play druid currently because its boring
and i dont play hunter because, hunter?
no it doesn't
you log on
swap form
fly for 15s and log off
like I did
then send the screenshot to every druid you know

"yoooooooo that looks so cool, why are you not using it???"
one of my friends who has druid cm set
and never plays the class
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
fckin ezz

guys when i press
its just a fun bossfight
damn just got 90
do i refresh rupture for the nightstalker thing or envenom
what build u played ?
not worth refreshing rupture
unless its dropping
cheers
yeye st, just for raszy G
koldera coached official
ah ye for st just refresh garrote once so its imp garrote again
raza?
@whuspyr
Hm
🫡
Let's not ping random people out of the blue.
My bad
Np
is there a way to add caustic splatter to luxthos weakaura?
like as a debuff tracker ig
Luxthos? It's in the dinamic effects subgroup
oh really wtf
i dont see it when i play

also would u say to think of aoe rogue opener/rotation to basically just be
garrote all
rupt all/most
pick primary and mut + prepare for burst window
burst window
(normal priority)
ive been struggling w it for some reason
You don't really need to garr/rupture all, a few is enough for your spam envenom (caustic) rotation
oh okay
garr/rupture take some time to deal real damage, and depending on your key level, garr/rupture like 5 / 6 targets is more than enough
ok! thank u
because rets and boomies will destroy the pack b4 you do damage
also, this is extremely important
For you do deal dmg with caustic, you NEED to mutilate your target while he has rupture and deadly poison
this can easily be forgotten
but rupture go for 5 max
then mut and fan+venom
thats 3 garrotes and tabbing so you extend to a non garroted target
I'm not entirely sure of what i'm about to say so anyone correct me if i'm wrong, but depending on target count, you dont want to garrote after stealth window is done so you don't overwrite the empowered garrotes you already have rolling
oh i meant like
garrote, tab target, garrote, rupt, tab target, garrote, fan, rupt
so that u have garrote on 9 and rupt on 6
or should you onl use garrote twice
bc of the risk of ruining snapshotting
3x is fine for 7-9 targets yeah
for lower just 2x?
IC lasts 10 seconds, Empower garrotes last 3secs after stealth
ahh okay
But keep in mind, i'm taking into consideration this season meta, where it is full of classes with HUGE bursts that we can't keep up with
before you even start to ramp up packs are already dead
yeah fair
for lower keys do you prefer sudden demise or demise+arterial? or which build
I honestly usually play between 6 and 10 bcs im a pleb, and during S3 i ONLY played cleave build, this season i only played OL in m+
u should triple garrote
and waste cp
cause garrote must come from stealth
and 3 seconds after
y thats why
which means garr garr rupt garr is fine
XD
Gar gar ct fok rup fok rup and then I’m into kb stuff
also dont play cleave
That’s plenty of bleeds and ct gets snapshot and your caustic will carry you
you're not, i was wrong
unless ure playing 15+ in tyra
i like to ct during sd personally
i go triple garrote rup fok rup mutilate snd fok envenom
then cds
How important would SnD be on an huge AoE scenario?
Gotta have it up before kb but if you’re spreading bleeds it’s whatever I think
Yeah was thinking outside KB windows
outside kb whatever but usually you dont have time to drop it between two kb windows
I mean its still a stupid question since SnD usually doesnt run out during m+
this is actually something that has fucked me u[
why do the sims use ct so late
like
i get most of the damage is caustic but on paper crimson looks like so much dmg
is it rly not that useful?
Just be a chad and don’t follow sims
I think the idea is that ct isn’t higher value than getting your bleeds for energy and scent stacks out and then you want to get into KB asap because obviously it ramps at the end and any time you aren’t ramping it is wasted almost
That’s why the cleave build is so popular because then you don’t even have to think about it.
I dont really do keys high enough that I care and I do think getting ct out early on large pulls is definitely more valuable than the sims make it seem. But it’s like if I only get 10 seconds of kb cause I used 2 globals for ct am I wasting “more” damage
Garrote garrote ct garrote rupture fok mut envenom is how I usually open packs 🤷♂️
The less i think the better it goes
Should rupture one more time for scent stacks
its what i did before, then i tried to minmax/optimize, and immediately everything felt awkward
so now im re-learning
Because packs are very short in sims and getting cooldowns up is always preferable
But like Tony said
Using sims to learn your rotation
Is very stupid
so it seems 💀
Sims live in a half-state of realistically doable, but also still a robot
We avoid putting in things that aren’t in any way reasonable for a human
Like if there was an optimization that said always refresh rupture at 1.37 seconds
That’s not it
LMFAO
We don’t put that in
But even then, a lot of the conditionals are still incredibly complicated
And there are things in the sims that most people don’t bother with
Because it’s not worth trying to min max that
So especially if you’re just learning the spec
Shit will just straight up not make sense most of the time
It’s also the reason why rotation helpers are dogshit
Aside from all their other issues
rotation helpers ie. hekili and the like?
ive noticed anytime i turn them on i immediately play worse
Hekili I’ve heard tries to play like a robot so basically it just takes the sim apl and says do this every time but in reality you can’t play like that. Stuff in the game is too reactive
I mean it also just does it poorly
True
yeah hekili doesnt match what sims say (for me anyway personally) half the time
I just hit dummies for a while and then I got do low keys for a bit and invite bad people so I can do all the damage and then start moving up.
that is the way
beating the shit out of dummies >>>> trying to figure out why sim does sim things
idk if there;s a way to use raidbots or whatever this way but i wish there were a way to write rotations/openers yourself and test them in sims so u dont have to hit dummies for 30min
I don’t really get into high keys either so sometimes I just play for sudden demise damage cause it’s funny
That’s not how sims are written
Like the logic language for sims
Doesn’t function like that
Its just a lot more complicated than you'd expect
i am very not coding literate
Overall optimizing the sim to do whats best is a lot more complicated and more effort required than one might expect
shoutout to all the sim devs tbh
And the outlaw guys already got their shit working for the beta, theyre actually completely cracked
for the war within?
Also do you guys run acrobatic strikes just for easier uptime or thistle on ur aoe builds? i assume its just preference?
If you want acro you go acro+2x lethality instead of 2x alacrity+deeper
You always keep tea
yes
is thistle mastery and energy regen really worth more than the extra damage on finishing moves and protection against overstacking from strata? woahg
yes
I was running Acro earlier this patch but then I realized i don’t really need it and I’ve since switched back
im relatively new to endgame pve content so acro feels more comfortable since you have some room for positioning error
They also have like 4 people to be fair
And a Microsoft dev
So
Kinda stacked
huh
My guess is Koji
Levy
Oh
Also even if you could, doing so wouldn't save you the time at the dummies because doing so isn't the same thing as your fingers pressing the buttons.
Koji works at some unnamed game dev studio
Got it
so Levy monitors the corona mindcontrol chips in RH, gotcha
Levy doesn't ring a bell though 
Wdym
I don't recognize the name
It's been a while since I've been active in there 😛
He’s the guy that setup outlawmallet
Got it
good
Worth swapping to sin if I'm not gonna get PI?
Still worth, still do good damage
All I needed to hear
If you like playing it, play it
You're just built differently
He values his fun
I was wondering who the fourth was though. Guy, Solo, Koji I knew immediately
Zac?
Solo?
Oh you said solo
I thought zac was done
Yeah, but not TC'ing though?
He was a couple days ago
Ah
where should the 2nd rupture go?
This is what I do every pack
And every shadow dance I’m spreading more garrote and after kb is done if the pack is still alive I’ll spread rupture to anything that’s gonna not die soon
ct fok fok rup
But as long as I have full scent stacks and my energy is Gucci then I’m probably just ripping envenom
Is this the new garret 1 garret 2
i knew u would get it shmeeps i believed
Why the fuck am i running out of energy so fast
poisons equipped?
Listen I’m not some high level streamer but I ain’t been beat in any of my mythics this season (I’m 1800 io cause I ain’t been playing)
Kinda need more info than just why you’re running out so fast. Single target? AoE? How long into the fight?
hi do we not use crimson tempest in keys anymore
U didn't put on deadly poison
We do use it, on 4+ targets
What frozen said
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are any of you running caustic cleave on tyrannical vs the full M+ aoe build?
it's less of a tyran vs fort situation
and more of a key level thing
most everyone running cleave are doing it above like 15/16
I will never see a 15. Those people are crazy
thanks @balmy condor
stong kung-fu
🥋
Shouldn’t that first ct be a rup though?
It can be. Depends on the pull really. I just value the snapshot on ct over 3 ruptures. And I think getting CT out early on every target is a lot of damage. And if you’re waiting until after cds or during cds, ct is hard to fit.
It also depends on what you’re playing for as well. Like if you’re just trying to kill a big guy or it’s like a small pull I think ct early isn’t as good.
A lot of people play cleave because they will just Kb the big guy and then you let caustic do all your aoe for you. I play ap shock build because I like doing high overall and still contributing on trash when kb isn’t up or if my kb target gets focused down before I get full value
So maybe I’m just playing for pad but whatever tops the meter
I think that should be ‘whatever times the key’
In a bolstering week unnecessary pad on smallies sounds like the worst thing u can do tbh
But if you 2 chest your keys anyway, all good right
Yes. You’re right
The thing I think about is everything has to die eventually and so there isn’t really pad. And the best part of playing sin is just dm/kb the one scary big dude and you’re doing your job and also killing the small ones. Bolstering doesn’t usually become that big of a problem. Plus you’re a dot class you’re not like spamming divine storm when you wanna just kill one dude. You’re doting the other trash so everything comes down together
Hey guys! I’m new here. I’m trying to figure out which build does the most overall dmg in m+? Is it crimson tempters build or cleave build?
Tempest*
Depends on your key level and your group composition
Just spamming 8’s -10 range
8-10’s
And which is easier?
Okay thank you, is there a place where I can look up rotations and bis?
Check wowhead
Will do! Thanks a bunch
guys, i try to recall what was said yesterday to the AOE rotation with CT , so we do CT and perma try to spread garrote and rupture but need to run envenom buff , so if the buff i to vanish we refresh and continuew ct and ruptures ? or did i got that wrong.
HELLO DEATHSTALKER ENJOYERS

Where are these people you speak of
they're all dead(literally)
Keep some empowered garrotes and ruptures rolling, CT and then play around caustic
i see okay
thanks :>
so we play around caustig which means we ignore 4set ? or is it needed*
And as you said, refresh if necessary (since meta specs are so bursty, keys between 8-10 you barely have time to ramp up your damage properly)
Caustic = 4set blessing since one complements the other so well no?
Afaik yes, the explosion
so caustic means realy " all posion dmg"
@balmy condor sorry to poke you, but just to be sure, caustic does work with 4set since it's poison dmg right?
Yes
ok
Caustic spreads all class-based nature damage
so all abilitys u posses not the item effects
That includes other weird things like poison bomb
Correct
Ok
Items and class effects are usually completely separate
So like shiv increases nature damage
But items that do nature damage, don’t interact
Thanks mister Whispyr
thank you also royal :>
Should kingsbane only ever be used with Shadowdance?
Okay, that actually makes it simpler than I thought
this works O_O ?
ill need to add this, 1 more button free 😄
You either had it macrod to deathmark or SD, you were pressing it manually?
yes
i had it on MB4
x)
kb SD in shift R
shiv in ShiftE and tea on shiftF , DM is on E
ill bind it on DM so i will switch DM from E to mb4
Well you just saved yourself the trouble

that is not APL though is it?
correct
is it a gain, neutral or a loss vs APL?
neutral
doesnt it make sense to align it ashes with deathmark+kb instead of single kb?
what
kb being on a 1min cd you fit 2 kb casts in a 2min window. every other kb is paired with deathmark. shouldn't ashed be used when deathmark is up too?
yeah, so you macro ashes to your dance/kb macro
you open
right
so you deathmark, press the macro
it casts ashes
for now i have tried to line them up bc of their 2 min cds but looking at APL the condition only looks at KB
and then deathmark is a 2 min cd
and ashes is a 2 min cd
this is why looking at the APL for how to play is stupid
ye right if they are macroed it will only be ready on DM
(i wouldnt macro it to kb if you use the dance/kb macro in m+)
there will be times where you only wanna use a small cooldown because boss is comng up
ouch, i operated on the assumptions guides use APL or are simplified derivatives
I mean the guides are simplified derivatives
alright then
simplified to be ya know
playable
trying to memorize APL conditionals as a method of improving just doesn't make sense from a human standpoint
you're not a robot
im always going big, no small cooldodwns 
that is a valid reason not to macro ashes to dance and kingsbane. for now i will just macro dance and kingsbane but keep ashes separate
my brain wouldnt be able to do that, especially on brh
i love sending all cooldowns on first boss
on pull
I have ashes macroed to DM for m+
And to kb for raid

Switching build will switch out the macros aswell anyways
Separate Bars basically
Theres a clicky thing somewhere so the Bars arent shared across builds
ah im using the talent trees addon so i just click on the talent on the right and it swaps
so my bars are always identical
im not using the default talent swap thingy
same
well then you cant do his way
Ye, personally didnt like them and thought they were pointless
i can import talents into the same loadout without having to create a new one, and i can save i dunno how many
i dunno, i was messing around on all 3 specs in S2 and my loadouts were filled
because of the 10 limit
oh
so i got myself the addon because that didnt have a limit
that's wild
i liked saving loadouts for some bosses and whatnot
or just dumb things that i messed around with
yeh that's fair
I have like 3 setups
1 for raid, 1 for m+, and like an alternate
and I'll just change those around
i think i have 3 m+, 1 raid and 1 council
Same
but I guess if you have a ton and the addon lets you get over the cap
that's pretty chill
its this one

didn't know breaking the cap was possible
crazy how the only good parse i got was with pi
eh i had like 3 for outlaw, 3 for sub and 4 for assa
and i wanted to mess around more and save more talents
wait nvm im lying i got pi on dathea but that boss makes me suicidal bro
dathea is a shit boss
so what you're saying is you're 50% on parsing with pi
How so? Its pretty much terros at this point
idk not familiar with the raid that well
kill timers kinda shit as well
way too long
why
with how much energy are you guys entering Kingsbane?
enough until u press tea
no magic number
Ok I still don’t quite understand pooling. Its waiting longer to cast spells? And what does it mean to chain env?
!pooling
Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
So if you have a 4pc set you can do back to back env?
I’m losing out on so much damage lol. Ok I’ll practice that later.
Pooling perfectly versus just blindly slamming envenoms is about a 1% to 1.5% difference
I wouldn’t worry about it if you’re new to the spec
ok. I played a lot of sin in MOP and came back to it for our raid team.
#1 thing you need to do correctly to play sin at a decent level is make sure you’re not messing up kingsbane
Kingsbane is the entire identity of the spec atm
ok and as far as “pooling” is it safe to wait until 5 stacks to let gar and rup apply?
5 stacks of what to let what
Umm our energy bars? Combo points
Gar and rupture have no bearing on pooling
ok
They’re bleeds you have to maintain 100% of the time
Or else you don’t generate energy
And you die
Pooling is just for tier/envenom
Dumb question but since you are already answering, should I ever be in the situation where I have to choose if I should rupture or envenom chain? Or does being in that situation mean I messed somethingup
I think you’re really overthinking this
Just make sure you’re not trolling your kingsbane every minute
It’ll be fine
Maintain gar/rup always
Do cooldowns
Rupture should always be up
Win game
If you have to drop envenom for it, then so be it, time to pool
Haha yeah I am probably
Yep, that was the question, cheers
I normally play KB around death mark.

Well yeh but kb is up every minute
And dm isn’t
So you still gotta do the combo
right
But as long as you just copy paste your opener every minute
well yeah I should’ve said I try to line it up
And remove the 2 mins when they’re not up
You’re good to go
It’s just the same thing over and over every minute
I’m gonna check your guide again and do like an MRT note to practice it.
Yeh getting it into muscle memory is good
You mean the death mark and KB combo isn’t the same every minute?
Ohhh right
yeah yeah! Ok so when I’m on DM vanish CDs I just do shadow step and into KB
Ya boy is back

This will basically have every answer
thank you 🙏🏼
deathmark->shiv->kingsbane+shadowdance macro->garrote->envenom->use tea at 6seconds kingsband left and the 2nd shiv charge->use vanish at 3seconds left and re-apply garrote with that vanish
To every question ever asked
thats kingsbane
wait wouldn’t you want to shadow step first then apply KB? nvm lol I bet this video answers that
why shadowstep wat
I think you mean shadow dance
And yes
They’re macro’d together
Dance first
macro them yea
Then kingsbane
No
Sin very good in raid
Hi whispyr
Always
Hi
Oh cool do you ever stream when you do raid? Or
do you post any of them on YouTube
I-i dropped the matrix reloaded with leech 
Yeah I do, I’m not playing season 4 though
But I stream all my prog
Beard looks so much better on you,also the hair on the last alpha vid
I just trimmed it up a little
u have the package man
Nice! Yeah makes sense. I picked sin back up tail end of last season but now I’m fully invested in re learning everything.
but not a lot of people I met want to pros in S4 which is understandable.
Yeh I skipped s4 in shadowlands as well
Just can’t be fucked slogging through the same content twice
I do m+ on the side if I feel like it
Kinda like running GRs in d3
M+ has turned into gear grind for raid
For me
It’s just not fun to push or whatever anymore
Thats like the first 5 days of a season and then im done usually
s4 shadowlands was better than current S4, so you arent missing out on anything
S4 shadowlands almost killed my guild it was so bad
Thats such a big thing
They dont realize
That it just basically is an endurance test for guilds
And guilds dont have it easy anyways
Shadowlands my guild was like oh we’re gonna raid it’s gonna be like a normal season
And then it was hard like a normal season
And it shattered so many people’s mental
Started screaming at each other and not showing up and roster issues and people blaming other people
Ripped my guild apart almost
Luckily they just called it
And managed to rebuild for Dragonflight
But man
I dont think its necessarily the difficulty. Just doing the same raid again for a long ass time already destroys the mental. If it was like 3 months
Alright
Would even be a good time for testing class changes, like an extended prepatch
I mean the Dragonflight raids at least are a quick smash and people are enjoying mop on the side
Because you got all those different fightstyles
True
But some guilds do struggle with amirdrassil
Kinda wouldve prefered if every raid was tuned like abberrus now for fated
Some bosses like fyrakk still require a bit too much effort
:O
fair enough
Imagine they did the class changes for next expansion before its s4 time and you could test those in awakened raids with new gear for 3 months to point out how good stuff works or doesnt work in actual raid encounters of all kind
fyrakk is the easiest for my guild because half our roster didnt really play in S1/S2, so we are first progressing the endbosses and killing fyrakk for the mount weekly
I meant fated tuning only, but ye ig thats a valid complaint
have yall checked out the beta talents for rogue?
There’s channels for that
Ah sorry
Yeah but that would require the changes be ready for season 4
Which is insane
#tww-assassination Just dont look at deathstalker 
Not that far ahead lmao
You’re basically saying the class changes have to be done and testable 7 months before an expansion
Which is
Just not happening
In any universe
dat a lot of work...
I meant like cutting down s4
To 3 months
So it would be like 4 months before
But ye still hard ig
Especially with Bugs
Okay but then where is the rest of the time going
Like people wouldnt be happy to use the stuff thats in beta rn
You just removed a whole quarter
Thats what I meant with idk how they operate and how far ahead. You just sometimes hear they work on "something" already, like they were working on the expansions at the reveal
But in what capacity
And which way
It’s normal for the big overarching story to be done like 1.5 years ahead
But they’re cramming gameplay and class changes up until the end
Like they had to rush deathstalker and the rogue changes out of the door in time for beta
Because they just weren’t ready
Often even later than the release of the expac
Very often you have 1 or 2 specs/classes getting big reworks in .1 or .05 patches
Because they didnt have the time to do it properly before
Yeah some things do look like they dont have enough time or capacity to act according to the timeline
Which is a shame but understandable
Things often dont go as planned either
Like the class tree changes on Alpha in mid-May probably were talked about no more than a month in advance
So being like “oh just release them 2-3 months earlier it’s fine”
Is just
Insane
And that’s without the nightmare of now everything is changing you’re mini-reworking all the classes for a pre-season
DF had a lot of reworks and chanegs after the major patches, whats a good thing
compared to old xpacs you had major changes every 2nd big cycle if even
So you’re going to have to balance that
Who’s balancing that
There’s an expansion to work on
Yeah would kinda need more human resources
So now you’ve got a whole team that needs to push out all the class changes months earlier, and then also have them monitor live for balancing
Thats true. I think in DF blizz handled stuff somewhat better overall
And then when things don’t work
They gotta rework them
Because that’s the point right
So if feedback is bad
Now you gotta still rework them
But what if you designed hero talents with the idea of something existing
And now it has to fundamentally change
Everything is falling apart
to be fair, a modern game development cylce could prevent some problems wow has
e.g. deathstalker as is would never survive testing, even if you had very short test cycles
On that note tho, what do you think would be a better "awakened" season to give them more time? Like maybe getting an old raid ready for progress?
the first person trying to get the capstone working on subtlety would have send it back to the dev team immediately
I don’t think there’s a better awakened season to give them more time
Awakened is super easy to develop
And offers a lot for a casual
We’re just in a bubble of raiding where we don’t really care for it
I think it’s pretty obvious that they didn’t really care about what they released, they just needed to release something so that they could say all the hero talents are playable on beta
would be interessting to have some data to support the thesis
I think from a player perspective a raid from the previous expansion or like 2 expansions before would be more interesting, kinda like they do with the dungeons, just not as old
The guild I’m in just built a weekend team and they’re treating it like a normal season so it’s a pain.
But that would be more effort than current expansion raids
i played pandaland for over 2 days /played
Yeh treating this like a normal season is how you build apathy
and i found it to be not content for me, but a lot of people love it
Can’t recommend that
any form of data for engagement in contnet would be fun to look at
I honestly would prefer it being something we can do with our existing chars
But its fun nontheless I guess
i think its intentionally not
the experience of leveling is for pandaria a selling factor
similar to wow classic
I mean you could kinda do the same just without the stat gems, but normal gear slots
And the Panda rings, neck and trinket being as they are but with the tinkers
pandaria is for me a bit weird
because the time to get to the level of "fun" is extremely high
i did expect it to be a lot lower
but it fits the typical gearing paradigm of wow
I feel like they could’ve done more to revamp questing in remix as a way to find ways to make regular question not shit
For me its the infinite part on the time consumption
With the grind etc
most ppl on retail just buy boosts
so they afk while somone carries them through stuff
at least the top end
True. I hope they do take away something from the complaints about the bad leveling for certain specs like fury and Arms
Just something more interesting reward wise than a green item you’ll replace in 25 minutes would be cool
not really, idk where you get that one from lol
i remember quite some leveling boost things during DF
I really liked wod leveling in general
Had a lot of freedom
Wasnt too long
And it bored me the least
Idk why they moved away from world quests and bonus objectives
Just as extra things to do while leveling they worked great
maybe they take inspiration from timerunning in a future update to leveling
new player experience is still not great
Idk what they could take from it tbh
Cloak upgrades during leveling basically is just what heirlooms already do
making one xpac a consistent path to max level
They already did that though
LFR and raids during leveling is kinda dope
^
Yeah that’s true
only works if theres enough people playing though, i think
problem with the current leveling experience in wow is that it doesnt prepare you for the max-level experience at all
Story mode
And that the skill unlocks for some classes are just fucked
you also often suffer through painful levels before unlocking core elements to make your class work
They’re sorta setting it up with follower dungeons and the delve NPC’s
Yeah. Looking at warrior unlocking spenders at lv 27

Yeah gotta see how they balance that in the end
Knowing blizzard it’s gonna take all expac to nail down
And then right when they get it at the end of the expac
They’ll make a big post about how much they learned and appreciate the feedback
And then delete it from the game and never talk about it again

how did you arrive at that prediction?
seems like youre grasping for straws
Azerite
Artifact weapons
Crafting systems since WoD
Torghast
Legendaries in general
Mage tower
mission table
World events like broken shore
archeology
Player housing with garrisons
to be fair legendary items got a 2nd revision in SL
0.2% upgrade embellish pog
and the concept of artifact weapon trees is present in:
- neck in bfa
- covenants in SL
- (hero talents in tww?)
Imagine trading MA legendary for BSL
It’s just more and more watered down each time
it kind of makes sense
Slowly just fading out
They’re always so excited to say that they’re using the lessons and building on them
i think its not watered down, just a try to lower the effort of implementation
And then the improvement is just across the board worse
because having one more or less talent tree for each spec in the game is a hella effort
And they fail the same way again and again. Only the names change
so neck went to "what if we had one talent tree for everyone"
Hero talents seem like a higher effort worse outcome implementation of just having an additional artifact weapon tree per spec
and SL they ended up like "well one wasn't that great, lets do more than one"
Like you can say legion artifacts were the father of shadowlands soulbinds
I think they can design talents well for 1 spec if they really try
But for 2 specs so far it's not looking great
But soulbinds in every way were just worse
exactly
Very strange that they’re learning from their mistakes and then making the next version worse
netherlight crucible sure was awful
Ye but conduits were worse
It’s not even close for me
Maybe they re learning to make it worse. They never intended to do better
I would never
Have you think about that?
Interesting theory
needing the relic to titanforge and roll the best azerite trait and the best secondary traits to be an upgrade
and you only had 1 or 2 bases that were good for you

the mistake can be that it took too much dev effort too, if you analyze it from a more corporate direction
Seeing a relic drop was dopamine for me
Seeing the conduit I’ve been farming for 2 weeks drop from the only dungeon that drops it
Was just relief that it’s over
Like titanforging was shit
100%
But at least when you saw titanforge it was semi exciting
hot take, titanforging worked great in m+
like
People counting how many courts they ran for their auto attack ring
Or their trinket
I didn’t even hate titanforging that much
I think it was extreme for sure
But I’d want to see it return somehow
titanforging gave people long term motivation to run m+
no modern system manages that
(unless you enjoy vault roulette for stuff like nick of time)
Morning Doomers 
forging your items 1-2 upgrade levels would be fine imo
People love to count. I remember so many rogues counting how many time they did top for MA lego. Or idk what was the legendary there
legendaty items in legion ended up beeing their own beast
The best gearing I’ve seen was from runes of magic, gear would drop with like crit/mast, and you could melt it down and then fuse it into a base item to add that stat to the item
So you would run a bunch of dungeons and stuff to get the fusion stones
And you could get close to bis pretty quick
But it was a bit involved to perfectly fuse every ideal stat
Its frustrating in a different way tho
One thats imo even worse
main "fustration" i saw was
"OMG THIS LFR PLAYER HAS A BIS ITEM"
and you would always be like...
sure he has ONE
but he does not do any damage from this lucky drop
i mean, when you re a HOF palret and u see those 2/9hm prog random ret with legendary in valdrakken
u can get pissed
why not be happy about him getting something exciting
I dont like max gear being luck based even more if its that much better is my point mainly
....no?
the bard part was that farming old raids and praying for the giga titanforge on tier items/trinkets was a thing
Especially on time gated attempts
wdym, mythic fyrakk has a 100% drop of the legendary
lol
Why let it effect you
didn't they fix it later by just capping titanforge rolls?
How do you even bother to notice someone else progress and gear
I honestly, while valid in some way, think thats a pretty bad way to argue
ap grind, legendary aquisiton, infinite worldquests, ...
pretty sure wasnt, At least earlier on the tier. And even then way more than 1 leggo holder in our raid. He was just so pissed and he raid logged for like 3 months 
Why let things out of your control effect you was more the point
for 1guy
same. items should be able to TF to the max cap of your upgrade path
Obviously you dont need to let others gear n stuff affect you, but if you are anywhere near a competitive person, its just annoying
so a champion item should be able to drop all the way up to 8/8 already
if you get lucky
That would be good tf
saves you some crests and shit
that what i said before allready 
Seethe
Annoying does affect you tho
Ye fair
i say it, ignored
green name says it, people agree
class divide in full force
Maybe for u but I’m diff
problem with TF was that it could just get +60 ilvl
Bis list tonight king?
any arcano crystal traders
Real

No. Thats just keeping your composure and telling yourself to not care. If something annoys you it will affect you deep down and it will add up
Weird way to realize that people have you blocked I guess 
log reviews tonight?
then i could not do react emotes 
In this Mickey Mouse ahh season? Miss me with that
I gotchu
