Surely 
They'll let you disguise your class colour when applying to keys.
Its always a lot better when theyre doing biweekly balance changes
No one will care (that much), and above all, no one will disallow me to play the game
plunderstorm rewards kinds not that good
hmm
Purple though
30 if they are generous
30 but it's a unique item you can only have 1 of in your bags at any time.
the one handed sword looks nice
Yeah, also the coat
also the pet is cute
the rest is either meme or mid
like the 2 handed mace
> Plunderstorm - Event Rewards < - for the complete list
I wish the 2 handed sword was one handed 
A fury can whack people with a mop and an oar now though, whcih is funny.
Its blizz fault all the keys require no control people not even playing gouge
imagine if this was bfa
i would shit on them
i swear i had no stress i was chilling watching soccer games etc now im back to this game and losing my health
i think im gonna give break
I mean they do require control
Just that other classes do it so well you dont ever need gouge
(notably shamans and augs)
wow players don't understand numbers
It's true, I am very bad with numbers
i mean it would be foolish to expect people who are really good at pressing buttons to somehow be good at counting
wow just needs a soloq
Soloq up to certain key level then have io gates
no reason for at least up to +12 not to be a soloq really, it's a different game anyway
was just gonna say, 12's would be the q cap
Ye
universal layup
Chat
I do think you'd need to make a handful of changes elsewhere for it to work though
Class distribution is unbalanced
Like giving all tanks a heroism, all healers a brez.
You're gonna que up with 2 rets
Addressing the dumb healing absorb
13's require the io to do 6/8 at 12's
class distribution is unbalanced on average, the balance changes with rio, if it doesn't those retri have the same expected succes rate
it'll happen for sure, but that's the exception not the rule
I think it's just about giving people other options.
^
And with some small changes, I think it could work really well in the 'weekly' gaming zone and start of higher keys (12, imo)
And I think the changes needed to make it work would be plain good for WoW anyway so it's just win-win.
i just dont trust blizard to make those changes 🙂
maybe on queue actually make use of that tick of being group leader and have a party class request
I think this is very valid
Pick/ban specs lol
oh no
Idk, I feel like they wouldn't have to put too much thought into small changes in order to make a limited-scope soloq work
lfg would still exist so it doesn't force anyone into anything
I think keys not depleting
Is already a good start
But ideally they should just have people be able to start any key they want if they timed it the level under
Then lfg is much more permissive already
Like, will you really wait that much time finding the perfect enhance shaman, if you could instead try your chance with that funny rogue, cause the worse that happen is that you lose a bit of time
Instead of depleting your key into oblivion
Right, I just look if they've timed it something close, and make sure to have a brez and lust then just kinda go
Yeah
Ran everything with everything and I don't really care too much bc I'm not pushing title
I mean I think this should also be a thing for high keys
But maybe that's a bit more controversial
Idk
Key depeletion for high keys or lack thereof?
bc I've ran with some pretty bad enh, fdk, etc
No keys, no key depletion
Oh, yeah
Both gone
Based
Absolutely agreed. Just make the whole thing better.
The worse that happen is that people like kirs
Kira
Might cap out key level earlier
But like
Eeeh
No one cares
Yeah that's such a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population
yup, your rio represents your expected success, not your skill, broken class + low skill = higher skill + nonmeta class, a rating takes that into account already that's why you shouldn't look at who plays meta
It just gives M+ parity with raiding, really. You just run the content.
Wipe? reset go again.
Ye I mean I agree
I don't like spending my time running keys I have timed 15 times already
Just cause
It's a waste of time and it's not engaging
Yeah
And all it does is restrict meta cause people don't want to try anything out
Because it's such a waste of time to do so
Well technically you'd then have to be locked to the first group you tried keys with each week 
Agreed
I would argue M+ is currently better than raiding for loot and it shouldn't be, you can't endlessly farm crests by raiding
no because I agree completely 
For a good portion of classes/specs, raid will give better weapons and trinkets so that's partially untrue but farmable crests from m+ is a compelling win over raiding
You can't endlessly farm crests by doing M+ either
Because of the weekly limit.
yes but try raiding without M+, you'll fall behind and you cant catch up
while M+ without raiding is kinda sustainable for most classes
full on DH now
Raid gear is most often the op gear you need
Like weapons trinkets etc
M+ is just random slot that you can get from raid anyway
Both modes are useful for the other, and often feel like there's an obligation to do both if you wanna do them at their highest level
Which is a flaw imo
Maybe
after 2 weeks you can avoid m+ if you're lucky and aren't pushing HoF
All Im gonna say is
If I ask people to show their gear
I think 90% of people are using raid weapons here
Cause good luck lucking out in vault
daggers dont exist in vault. duh
Getting an early boss vers/mastery dagger next raid will be kinda nice
You can do M+ without raiding. Maybe never get max ilvl, but can do it, just not 100% optimal.
You can't raid Mythic without M+. No decent guild that respects its players will take raiders that do 0 keys. Once you start extending you will get 0 gear.
I agree, which is why they should change Mythic lockout to work like HC
Bam, solved
you only need m+ for crests
Ok but you can do 8 keys a week very easely, while the commitment to fill your raid vault and raid is enormous
And you only say that cause you don't m+ at the same level as you raid
Like a lot of people
In an ideal world, both of these systems coexist without a feeling to do both to succeed, though. And it'd be cool to see improvements towards that (Mythic lockout like HC. Change to crest acquisition, more deterministic loot markers)
this brings people who hate m+ and have no business being there, that dont even want to learn the dungeons into your keys
and the opposite is true
what's the difference between mythic and hc lockouts?
Mythic lockout is saved to the ID. heroic is a personal loot lockout
like in the end doing weeklies keys level is like doing hc raid, which, no hc guild is going to ask you to do m+ thats for sure
but if you do half serious m+ you want mythic raid gear
we were required for a while
same as if you do half serious mythic raid
as an aotc guild
You can run HC as many times as you want, but only be able to get loot once per week per boss. Mythic is one-and-that's-it because you get locked to the instance ID itself, so you kill one boss and that's it, no more Mythic outside that ID.
that is maybe the most cooked thing I've read in here
My favourite guild recruitment message I saw this expansion was some guys demanding M+ and full enchants and stuff for AotC week 1. like mandatory 594 or something every slot
They raided once and disbanded
Oh yeah they do enchant inspections before raid
i mean that's not eactly difficult to inspect and week 1 aotc is far from easy
likely easier to get 1 mythic boss down if you have the roster for it
we usually do normal week 1 and then early heroics
their usual answer to mechanics is "brute force it with ilvl"
I think requiring keys first week to do HC is smart.
Doing Queen HC first week in quest greens would be no-bueno lol.
Sorry, I phrased it poorly. They were an AotC guild and wanted that setup for normal
ye
aotc week 1 with pugs feels better than cutting edge
I don't think I've ever attempted it lol
It's a really, really fun time. You get to see pug tactics evolve real time, and typically run into similar people doing the same. Getting in front fo the progress curve is fun, too
Queen was pretty miserable though
as long as you get good people and they dont leave, raid is clearable
Ye
Lol ours is usually a discord call with the RL going over mythictrap.com videos
fun group of people, but very casual
this is the same group that put their friend the fury warrior in the windfury group over me lol
and ret paladin even though crusading strikes specifically said it isn't affected by wft
I'm glad that's a thing of the past
biiiiig same
sounds like a good time
a vast majority of our roster is gamer dads
Nice
My raid group is very casual too, so I do my own stuff privately like week 1 AotC. It's nice to have a cozy group to hang with though
Yeah raid nights are usually just to vibe, we're a 4 hour a week 2-night guild so its not like a job, when I first joined a few years ago it was 3-day, almost 8-9 hours/wk and they required m+, crafting mat/consume donations, etc

(they both dropped in vault after progress, so your point still stands)

No skardyn though, it is what it is
just drop ot
pulling skardyn's out of my vault today

i got crystal liked it better than skardyn

i got 3 skardyns can trade for 1 dagger xd
Assa
assa prbs
Big stinky for sub
I thought so just double checking I wasn't crazy haha
Ive been playing assa with transmitter and it’s alright
ideally i loot a skardyns in the vault today tho 
For raid transmitter is typically better
But for keys skardyn good, as assa is mostly sustained damage
But idk im prob not playing much more keys anyway, premade stopped playing and cant for the life of me get an invite to a key 100 score below what i have, so it is what it is
I just went back rogue for next tier so having to crash course it again.
Im just playing with premade every so often
Tried, wasnt having fun
our tank wants to play a warlock now 

dont blame you, had 4 people yesterday afk pre 15 because "waaawaaaa my supports not good i cant lane gg im done"
in a d1-d2 lobby
ngl i tried playing a normal game on league for the first time in about 5 years and i had 2 afks on my team
i have last season challenger people in my game, and 4 ADCs in a row just aafk on me
cinema
That was enough league for me
i mean normal is w/e
but like since season just started, the mmrs are all over the place, you have d4 players to challenger players in the same game
eh
i mean the season JUST started
people need to finish placements and climb back up
it always happens
early season is always wild especially due to due queue abuse
lp is bugged too
as long as youre not negative win rate
u get like +30 for a win
-12 for a loss
and since theres no promotion to GM/C1 yet
people are duoing to 1100 lp
and it gets really bad in terms of matchmaking because u have 2 C1 players duoing, and its really hard finding a normal game for them, so its just turbo stomps every game
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns.
The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
6HR STREAM NOT A SINGLE KEY done
they dont even inv me the keys ive done
this is crazy
While I dislike doing it, I've got to the point where i que as assa and then just swap. And still usually lead the key.
The bias is unreal imo
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I feel like this is on repeat. Play meta if you want to push. Rogue ain’t it in a dead season.
Otherwise you better have a group to play with
Anyone know if maint still going
Check Wowhead news channel. 
it got extended by 2hr
Well um
Guess I dont need a cape now
The vault is treating my rogue nicely
Got a kukri last week, this week is giving me a 6/6 rash cape

Time walking last week gave me a void reaper.
Lets see what I get this week
any news on sub trinkets for s2
Have we seen the full loot tables yet?
Yes
PTR hasnt updated yet, so no not really
Where can I find those?
PTR or wowhead ptr version
I really gotta praise who ever made the idea of the great vault.
I've collected tokens for the past 4 weeks I h8 vault
Also what's so cool about shattered cape it sims lower than my azureborn or 636 craft. Is the effect that goated
Nah its mid
For DPS its mid yes. It will sim lower.
But I can imagine the rash passive + cheat death gives you basically 2 massive "oh shits" to help.
You not fall over
As it stands though. Even stat wise, it sims the highest out of the other items in my vault so i took it regardless. I only had a crit/haste cloak so its just... better.
Its a new rogue that i've only really done weeklies and 4 hero bosses a week on. I havent really done anything major on them since I only really made them to raid on
And ive only done 4 because this rogues been only raiding with my brothers raid group... who have been playing their classes far longer than me on this rogue and I came in at 600 item level that I only played.. prob 3 days of realistically before hand topping their DPS meters. Lmao
So they are stuck on brood/princess
Not sure if its because I clicked with the class that well, or its because I did non stop researching testing and practice on dummies, or both. 
Tbf it’s heroic. Most people are just slapping buttons randomly.
And thats why those people wont get aotc lmao
People that arent serious enough to know what buttons to press, need to not be doing heroic content.
aotc isn’t everyone goal
This isn’t the flex you think it is.
shitting on player just having fun and pushing content for them is just ick
They arent pushing content though.
Pushing content is relative.
as long as they're enjoying the game at their pace
Our HoF friends in here can shit on me for being 6/8 mythic. They don’t. There’s no point in punching downward.
6 hours a week with my homies with me being visually impaired is pushing content for me.
Raiding is a team effort, after all.
love you scath 
I mean the defensive part is very mediocre
Not for damage
this community is here to help you, not shit on others 🤷
For defensive purposes
i love checking in here from time to time and its 50% league 50% sub talk
Its very negligible
I mean, nothing's happening in game
no changes, no nothing
yeh its just funny
The defensive is so strong that the healers in my progression group play around it as an individual cd for queen ansurek soaks on our tanks Lmao
How is that "mediocre"
everyone just waiting for new season and hoping for some notes but alas.
league parts just me coping
but i do be yappin
how do you like the new epic monster armin?
Idk why they would do that but ok
uh, its lowkey kinda broken ngl
true
nah its worse than that
They posted stats that its very very very comparable to before
the flowers it drops alone are worth like 1k gold per person
Even slightly less snowbally
thats more than baron gold
yeh
flowers are usually what? 10-15 ad/ap iirc
this is the thing that bugs me the most, why make it have a 25% buff on all other epic monster buffs
seems incredibly broken
flowers give you like 15-20 ad / ap from the kill i think
I stopped caring about League when they stopped caring about their playerbase ontop of adding Riot Chinesespywear Vanguard as a forced requirement to the game when it never needed it before and has done nothing but cause issues since its introduction.
which is worth 700/1k if ad/ap
THey care more about their 500$ skins and money than their players
I think the flowers are more of an issue than the new feats boots
okay, i like mels design, i think its dope, i dont think her W should be 30 sec cd without cdr lvl 1
The boots are lowkey kinda bad, but just make the enemy team mental boom
that is not okay
should be double at least
nah boots are broken af what
the sorc boot gives you +4 flat mr pen + 10% mr pen
also her execute is concerning me atm
like thats really good
Its not the boots themselves that are broken. Stats wise they are not really good
I will send you the post
there are effects too
idk how 10% flat pen, 10% ms isnt really strong
yeah
nah that doesnt seemt oo strong to me
its really easy to play around it in lane
not sure, but from what i saw on pbe not long
like leave combat for 10 sec it falls off
if it's not too long then it's fine ig
@tribal blade vault was kind enough to give woyer a belt. Rawr! 
I was concerned bc I didn't see any fall off time numbers anywhere
have they even released her scalings and everything?
yeah its fully available on pbe
u can play her
shes fun
W cd m ust be higher though
have to check out the scalings then ig
also did they give any feedback
on removal of chests?
or are they still keeping silent?
no idea, they said they were removing them in the patch reveal video
that's really shit.
Like I said. They stopped caring about their playerbase and only care about their 500$ skins way more now.
Played the game since season 2 and its just... so obvious
250$ jinx skin thats worse than a legendary was the last draw. 
ok
I mean its evident more when they stated that arcane to them was a failure because yes it was a hit, it was made to bring players in, and it brought in like no players.
you must be funny at parties
Parties are for losers. I'd rather stay at home eating my chicken nuggets in peace.


its funny that this comment was made by an investment banking firm not riot, and then riots literal founder went online and said its stupid to think about arcane like that, and that they made arcane for the players, and players seem to like it so to them it was a success. but yeah okay.
Reminder. It’s reset day. People had no wow for 8 hours. Proceed with caution. Over.
based
aren't they doing like 3 more shows too
yep
hype
They shoulda just left it all as "arcane" instead of splitting off into different show titles.
Like the players thought would happen
why?
its not a spin off
its not a follow up
theyre new shows on their own working with different characters in different parts of the world
the next one has at least 1 character from arcane doesn't it?
but it's like a story for her homeland or w/e?
i'm not into league so idk but the shows are dope
they havent specifically said what it is. They dropped 1 hint about it only so far
they said theres a reddit thread
that guesses where they go next
and their gueses were demacia, noxus (where mel is from), ionia
oh that was just a cinematic for new league season
i gotchu
people assumed it was a teaser for their next show
wtf?
league season 1 right now is based on noxus, so that was the teaser cinematic
mel is a new character so it was an introduction to her too

i totally thought it was a teaser for the next show lmao
woo!
Are we saving symbols to go with shadow dance or are we popping it with ST
Sectech should always be supercharged. You should always have enough stacks so that you can use two dances, two sectechs and two symbols every flag+shadow blades
Gotcha okay
Which for dance is 1 charge ready and roughly 40s left when you press flag
I've been popping it for ST and I'm either out or only have one for flag+blades
You dont need to be popping sectech on CD, its better to make sure its always buffed by supercharger+dance
most of the time in a pure ST scenario. You would have Burst (2 dances) > 2 dances inbetween > Burst (2 dances) > 1 dance inbetween > Burst (2 dances) > 2 dances inbetween > Burst (2 dances) > 1 dance inbetween > repeat
Its not that simple though since it depends on uptime and how many mobs there are
But the key thing is to make sure you always get 2 during your burst
Bet okay
That's been my main struggle with sub is the cd windows are weird but that makes it easier to start off at least
sub lowkey feels better than sin in keys
yall think i should replace my 626 silken court neck or 626 princess boots with a crafted 636?
i only pug so im only 3/8m so i think im gonna do the neck. I can get boots off of sikran and catalyst them
i did the neck. I'm at 23% vers and 71% mastery. pretty solid
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version

everyone is drawing prizes
Yo what?! We have people from China in here?
mhmm
hello guys any word on ptr for rogues are nah havent played since like idk 3-4 weeks ago
no changes really
tier sets are mostly all bugged etc
Wtf is this new mode option
plunderstorm
This might be a silly request but seeing as the gloves are heavy haste I assume we'll either be running 4pc with that being offset. Anyone know where we might be getting gloves from or should I just expect to craft them?
You should be able to log onto ptr and look at all the loot in the dungeon journal
Man I really dislike using Transmitter trinket lol
The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.
https://i.imgur.com/cTPN4Tz.png
Collect just before Sectech
It wasn't working earlier but maybe the servers just weren't up. I'll give that a try thanks
Gratz


gzgz
massive dongs
How
If i upgrade a heroic piece to 6/6 do i get the mythic mog appearance?
He’s chinese
I mean
If i become chinese i get that mount?
Man thats cool
Isn’t that racist tho we want it too
It’s a promotion that’s only running in china I think
they got literal gamba loot boxes
Didnt they make a promotion for swift spectral tiger too

I remember that one
Most cooked promotion of the century
this is the 2nd spectral tiger promo for SN
CN*
Ruined the entire value of the most unique mount and expensive mount in the game
No fucking way
Like
Say u spend 200$ on that
U 100% ish get spectral tiger?
Or is it low chance
idk if CN is one of the countries where you HAVE to have a badluck protection or not
i literally live in hong kong, i dunno if it's possible for me to get that mount
might not be, chinese wow is an entirely different wow
Na has to be chinese realms
ah fuck that
it is, and as it stands there's currently some... heavy encouragement to step away from digital gambling as a whole
that is to say, a large portion of lawmakers are trying to strongarm companies out of it, and the corporate aligned lawmakers are pushing against that hard
gratz brother you are free
pog
Where ptr notes?
in china you have good luck protection
wouldnt want to get the juicy parts too fast now
idk they've def been trying to crack down on em
there was a week of terror
when they were going to make a big change
so many companies stock went ballistic down
Congrats! Hell yeah, amazing work
nicuuu, big congratulations
Grats
We are still choking with silken
(i hate tanking it)
yeah silken is quite a high precision movement fight
can't be sloppy with positioning at any point
or dispelling
true! at least dispelling is less hectic now with only 4
Tell me about it
With anub walking to china

the amount of times i died because someone on the other team straight up didn't move during a big move
yeah its a bit xd
but silken court for sub is fun actually
lots of optimization
im gonna cook some new timing for the second charge in p1, see how that goes
now boss dies so fast you cant use second pot if you pot at 1:30
so have to do it on first charge
or on pull
i couldnt bother shuffling around macros so i always potted on pull after the first kill
but yeh
We have to bully them to get out of boss
And its painful when i have a buster stack and then boss goes to china
Actually why am i complaining i can just immune it 
surely there were stealth bugfixes today ? 
Tomorrow. 

What is a new update to wow?
bugfixes for plunderstorm?
have you guys been following the hardcore wow scandal with software pirate
the guy who used to work at blizz
I’m convinced pirate was the actual rogue dev
would make sense
he did some menial testing job though apparently
but his doubling down is pretty funny
he's basically creating a shitton of free content for all those streamers, they should be thanking him
i think he did right fuck the others when they called run
Isn’t he at quadrupling down?
as he should he was right
yeah he's refusing to budge lol
He was a nepo hire who did QA for a bit before leaving. He's a complete faker. Absolute bullshitter
He’s not playing rogue, he’s on the guide of save you and your friends classes
i think the thought process is when you call to run as a guild group, you run out as a group
but i've never played hardcore so i'm not invested in this that much
almost like they’re not an actual guild
it was a super easy run back maybe the druid dies because he was duymb
It is incredibly funny, though
Yup
but everyone else had free reign the tank even did it correctly
by saving time with last stand etc
And a lot of people are finding out just how much of a narcassistic bullshitter he is
the druid is actually a rank 1 pvper on retail snupy
he's an insanely good feral
he just did some dumb butt pulls
well he is not a good druid to do pve with then he pulled extra boss then patrol
that is a death sentence
The funniest part to me is that all he had to do was go "Whoops, I fucked up. My bad"
But no! Self-awareness? Reflection? Impossible
and had the healer die because of him
he was very apologetic and fully admitted fault at least
Are PvP players sans trill ever good at pve? 
it's funny you say that, i did some keys with trill in S1 DF
we did the bulls pull in halls of valor
he pulled aggro and got 2 shot
and then "???" in party chat
was pretty good
WF raiders and keys. Either get carried or cheat
then take to twitter and bitch
haha he was pretty good, although not as insane as some other key runners i've run with before
overall his skills are good across a lot
if i didn't know who he was i would say he was a decent M+er
I just don’t think they run keys enough
but not rank 1 level
Type ? When you die by a swirlie but clearly outside of it
nah they definitely don't run em enough
that pull in particular the tank literally cannot stand in melee and face tank all those bulls
he'll die
so he has to kite em around
not me walking into city after 3.5 months trying to figure out what boss mechanics are
so as a melee you have to be very careful about when you open up
so that was actually mostly on trill, his death
not slamming his play, just stating facts
I do love that his death / ??? Stuck with you.
yeah it was pretty funny haha
when you get the triple question mark that's a keeper
gave you a good moment / memory
if it goes beyond 3 you royally fucked up in their eyes
? is confusion
?? is annoyed
??? is pissed
???????? is i want to murder you
so true
What is !?!?!
What if there’s an added ! or two? asking for a friend.
!WA
hm
i don't think i've ever seen an exclamation mark thrown in there
because when you're angry you just spamming 1 button haha
pressing 2 buttons too complex for angry brain
nah bro exclamations marks are too outlawcore
@tribal blade lmk if you plan on doing any fill vault weekly keys. Operation crest farm 
YESSIR
lots of time considering no more raid this week 😉
i have a 11 ara
I didn’t check what mine turned into. I’ll look after taking care of the doggos
hopefully you have a DB, that's my fave to run
Dawnbreaker best dungeon
yeah I love DB until I forget to turn old flight mode on and crack fall a ship
I need to get my rogue io showing. I forgot how how the warrior needs for that
it's cool that you can dismount early with skyriding and use the momentum to land on the ship
to avoid falling into it
so you can go trough the ship
That sounds like some kind of Top Gun maneuvers
? doing it all the time
cause db is broken cuh
you go thru if you're still mounted
just use steady flying in DB, it's so superior
im not spreading misinformation
you can also hover when you get to places
this sounds like the fakest shit ever
If it was true
Why is no one doing that
Tell me now !
Well, You know Blizzard is a small indie company, but this has been an issue since the launch!
Twitch: http://twitch.tv/valleriaa2
Twitter: https://twitter.com/2Valleriaa
i've died a bunch of times using DF riding and falling through the ships
it's such a colossal failure on blizz's part
This doesn't tell me anything
I know the bug happen when you are also mounted
I don't think it doesn't happen when you aren't tho
have 1 dungeon that uses flying and nothing works
if you dismount before touching the second or third ship you never clip them
prog over?
ty!
It's really funny doing it weekly, and you see the tank suddenly die on the first side ship. A pause. Then you realize they fell through the ship
the thing i've seen more is tanks landing directly on top of mini bosses and instantly dying
Oh yeah, haha
I only do it on 10, but the majority of my wipes are either on the miniboss with the orb, or the second boss.. due to the orb.
Because someone will decide that the best place for the orb is the closest wall.
who are we to argue with their genius
How is it that no one know that in high keys
Like I can assure you it'd not a known fix
People instead stay mounted til they know they didn't go trough
But I mean you only go trough like
Every 20 times maybe
What if you are just lucky
anyone playing plunder, or do most cba
think it will be a weekend thing for most
i might possibly with my guildies
i didn't touch plunderstorm the first time though
Lol ye would like you to step when you are just going through boat

I’ll plunder. Actually enjoyed it last time.
what can i tell you, log in and try it out, i didnt even say thats the only fix known and you're missing out, it's just a thing i do and it works consistenly for me, when i forget and touch the ship with my mount i just clip thru
I did 16k plunder this morning
prolly most runners just deactivate skyriding
No they don't
It's just a revisit. A few new skills, but the deterministic store and no 'fomo' is good
the idea is you dismount in the air not when you are through the boat
Skyridng is faster so
why would you dismount when you are already clipping
no fomo means you can unlock stuff fast?
Yes, but also: all the items from the prior Plunderstorm are there, with the new items.
So there's no missing out if you missed it the first time around and, I would assume, future times 'cos they're just adding stuff to it's store.
It's 33,000 to buy all the new stuff. I got 16kish Plunder in about an hour and a bit of play. roughly 1.5 to 2k per round.
I disagree, but it's very subjective. To me it's MORE STUFF which is exciting, even if I will never use it.
Also purple parrot
the weapon is nice, the meme weapons are okay and the pet is cute
the other thinks are just recolors of things
I think the refinements they've made to the mode are really cool, too.
Selecting a spawn zone, for example.
i guess ill try it later
Drop, do quest, die, repeat was a good way if you don't really want to participate in pvp
I do hope the next time they bring it around it has a new map. But I also hope they don't just toss the old map out. It's a really good mode. Just.. adding to it is good, imo.
Which they've done with the store and deterministic purchases and 1:1 currency stuff.
no new map and not many new skills are a bit of a bummer
Yeah. Also, one of the new skills is really.. strong.
Aura of Zealotry is def getting a nerf, haha.
Passive movespeed just from having it. And on use, it does a big aoe concrete and gives you fast attack which shoot projectiles and do 180 arc of damage. And a buff to damage.
If I fell through the boat in my next dawn
I will find you
@ the high rio sub players: Is playing with Aug as a sub just bad? Or are the augs just bad with who I play with? Because it just feels bad idk. But ur kinda forced to play with augs because that's what ppl want...
Do I need to track their shit or is it irrelevant. Because I have the feeling they 100% don't track my CD's anyway and just go for it. I actually don't have a clue about Aug gameplay to be honest
Current Aug gameplay doesn't care much about syncing with cds
They play high uptime builds
And they mostly have their things at start of pulls anyway
Same as everyone else
One of the cooldown WA has audible notification. Usually get it going off in raid with dance or symbols usage.
don't try to play around aug's cds if you're pugging
But it just feels so bad. My dmg isn't significantly higher, my burst isn't significantly higher and Keys are always super tight with the timer. But maybe that's just how aug is idk...i wish I could just avoid playing with augs while pugging Keys but sadly I cant...
you can check what uptime your augs have on the keys you run on details, generally the easiest way to quickly see how well they played
but i'm not sure what good uptimes are right now
What lvl keys are you playing? Are augs still hard carry / low skill needed?
quite possible they just suck. 
I need 3 more 15s and timed 2x 16s rn. Always playing Sub tho. Fk assa
So ye..playing 15/16s
usually aug is less dps than a normal dps but they still help tank and heal quite a bit
maybe the most affected thing is if there is no shaman
that is a super big L for us
Ye without shaman i don't even bother que'ing up that Key 😂
Also I am always wondering If that russian sub rogue with 3,5 k Rio is in this Discord too. I asked him why he is always playing the mastery stat citrine and Not the legendary skipper citrine like sims say but he sadly didn't respond in His stream
Maybe He just hates rng
yea rng is a bit bad
it is very likely because of rng
I asked him on stream, he does not like rng and that is why he use other stone, also he is in this disc xD
Ah, nice. Thx mate 😊

Thanks! Very succinct

thinking about learning sub for season 2 
mainly for raiding, maybe for dungeons
i've played outlaw and sin for 2 seasons now but have never touched sub
i wonder if its easier to pickup
There's a bit of a learning curve to it
but once you get the basic concepts its pretty easy
Sub definitely benefits from practice
Yeah, almost 100%
you'll have your big flag/blades windows ever 1.5mins, then between that you kinda chill
and the biggest learning curve is knowing when you can send Symbols of Death, Shadow Dance and Secret Technique between those big windows
to have 2x Symbols and 2x Dance for each flag/blades window

It's generally regarded as the most fun hero spec, and plays much smoother
kk
It can take a while to get comfy with how the cooldowns work and how you play around them, and where you place stuff but seconding that it's the best spec. Also trickster is smoother.
Trickster has more uptime on shadow dance/secret technique because it has more cooldown reduction built in
than Deathstalker
!guide
which a lot of people like. Just be mindful that your trickster capstone hero talent Coup de Grace has a dash/charge to it which can be dangerous if it throws you into mechanics lol
but you can usually outplay that by being mindful of your positioning
i assume there are some good cd macros?
Kind of a rite of passage to get coup charge killed tho lol
Umm we try to avoid those because of the fluidity of the spec
ahh okay
you'll see things like Cold Blood macro'd to Sectech
which is fine while you're learning the spec
other people will macro Symbols of Death and Shadow Dance, but that's recommended against because there are times you'll use one and not the other
essentially, you anchor your use of those cooldowns to Secret Technique and use what you have available at that time. Sometimes its both, sometimes its just SoD, sometimes it's just Dance, sometimes its just Sectech by itself
Important note with SoD and Sectech with the talent Supercharger: always aim to use your supercharged combo points with Sectech and Evisc/Coup, which is why we try to use Sectech as first finisher after casting SoD
ok ill try to stay clear of the bad habits lol
bc then it benefits from the increased cdr of the extra combo points
definitely good to reinforce good habits early with sub
@alpine wraith this is awesome, ty for making this king
np the whole sheet is in my profile if anything
also new season cant come fast enough
RUNNING IN THE 90’s
yea man gotta play running in the 90s with DT
idk why they don't blast content during the winter time
legit nothing else to do
too cold to bike or hike comfortably
winter is peak gaming, but they stagger shit out so it comes out during spring/summer when it makes more sense for outdoor shit
Hardcore, Classic re-release
Plunderstorm
They def are releasing content people want to play, just not retail content (besides plunderstorm, but that's retail-adjacent)
plunderstorm is barely content anyways
same map same abilites, meh rewards
Just because you don't personally enjoy it doesn't mean it's not content, though. It's fine for a revisit for a few weeks until 11.1 imo. Lotta people playing now might've not gotten to play ti the first time, etc.
Idk i miss like the smaller 3 boss type raids they used to put out
plunderstorm?
i think its too similar to the last time, a new map or bigger changes to abilities would be rly nice
i didnt burn out on it by farming renown last time
so i only played it for fun
and my memory of it is fun
i see nothing bad about bringing back a liked gamemode
recycled content is blizzard's motto
whats the negative

lol
They've definitely embraced the seasonal model so throwing out recycled/reusable content vs a bunch of new stuff between major content patches isn't likely to happen
anecdotally, about half of the people I raid with switched to Hardcore as soon as we stopped farming and are playing pretty much every day
mop remix was a cool version of reused/recycled content
legion remix would be a hit I imagine
100%, it'd be a really easy layup
I imagine legion remix is gonna happen between TWW and Midnight
Probably quite a few things to fix and change for it though
for sure, I'd be very surprised if they haven't been working on it for a while now to get things ready
Plus I think (hope) they learned a few lessons from MoP that'll streamline the experience
Ye. I'm excited for it. But I also don't mind these quieter patches to go do other stuff. Recycling or reusing other content you've made is also a really big staple of game development, so it's pretty whatever too.
Same hope
Yeah agreed, I think having an ebb and flow to content makes things feel less like you need to log in every day or you're missing out
i actually had such a blast once mop remix had its kinks fixed
this, gives me time to do achieves and play other stuff
Plus there's ptr now, with the caveat that things are very broken atm lol
Yeah, same. I 100%'d it haha. It ruled once they smoothed it out and FROG IDIOCY happened.
Lmao I forgot about the frogs
my fav item from the whole thing was probably the chicken backpack
I barely touched them!!! I did like, 30 minutes or so of it! And I got de-frogged!!! It was a crime
BiS transmog
Remix got a lot better when they stopped trying to be weird with the time spent and just went "ah fuck it, BUFF EVERYTHING, BLAST EVERYTHING" but the major criticsms I hope they listened too are:
Was also great to farm up a bunch of 70's for profession/acuity/concentration alts
Don't tie the same fucking currency to power AND cosmetics
I think the more ridiculous they make the power scaling, the more fun. It's supposed to be a wild time lol
Yeah. I imagine it'll be tied to AP and Weapons in Legion, and hopefully a new currency for cosmetics.
Just split them up in a more elegant fashion.
they'll prolly separate them but then the "we have too many currencies" speech will still pop up, even if its just 2
Ye
Design it for the most casual player to be able to get everything in a reasonable (I.e., casual play over a few months) rather than a weird hellgrind, too.
For real, if you play a couple hours a week you should be able to get most, if not everything about 2/3 of the way through imo
Everything being open to discussion, too. Everything could just be the major items exclusive to it rather than, say, every single rare drop / mount from Legion itself.
its still a grind tho
Statement meant as how it should be for the next Remix; with very casual play people should be able to accrue whatever currency to get most or all cosmetics/mounts/etc 2/3 of the way through the mode’s lifespan without it being a crazy grind
I die, I live, I die again! But it's all subjective, really. Easy grind to some is soul crushing.
its just very random, you sometimes just get surrounded by 4-5 enemies
and someimes can farm a bit and just oneshot people
its a br mode, and as such not for everyone
Ye
like this game
i got no good skill
and 2 people hunted me down for like 3 mins
its bad for them, its bad for me but i lost without much plunder
People really are incredibly aggro for no reason, yeah
but its like fine, i am not mad its way worse for them because they fall behind in items and exp
is there any way to sim comsumables?

!logs
Mastery/Chaos are essentially tied
a lot of close options
if anyone has time to give me feedback on my log I'd really appreciate it, trying to learn sub
I havent played sub since they changed the talents, is there a guide on how to play with death perception etc?
!guide
I think the game shouldnt be thought as a grind, that might be the reason it feels like a work. Last plunderstorm i played for fun overtime and enjoyed it quite a lot
Is there a rule on when to use shadow blades after flag? 2 globals?
Plunder is more of a arcade game rather than competitive
After SecTec.
It's a battle royale so it's inherently competetive
it is indeed, its fun for a few games but i feel like everyone plays it for the rewards
it is competitive in that you want to reach rank 1
but often die on your way, people are out for blood
It's an odd sort of competitive where pushing to win isn't the most optimal way to play for rewards, too. Which si funny
gotta get your creep kills and scale into the late game
I guess two different types of competitive? The competitive aiming to win and be number 1. And the competitive pushing to try and get the best effiency on their plunder.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it still is, you get more plunder if you play well and the entire round
it is just more difficult
Hm, I'm playing badly then 
you need to farm players
but also people play way to agressive, so you most of the time die early
early level brawl is the worse you can do because you lose levels, skills and plunder
so not worth it unless you can kill your enemy quick
Just gotta have one of the big streamers put out a YouTube short "okay chat, the play is to farm up until you're super fed, then go stomp everyone. Don't even look at another guy til you're at least 8, bro"
insert POGface thumbnail
I'm using these recommended talents for single target, does replicating shadows still have a bug that causes a delay in CP refunds? It feels quite delayed sometimes. Is there another talent I can run instead?
Yeah, there's still the RS bug 😦
Do i take gloomblade or improved shadow techniques instead? RS feels awful to play despite being the best ST talent.
Imp ShT typically sims better
don't think anyone does that
ist ein witz
witze sind nach 20 uhr laut §20 im Komödie Gesetzplatt artikel 13 nicht gestattet!
Ach, vorbei
(we just joked, lets continue in english)
(lol I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did since I haven't written/spoken any in 15 years)
I remember folks were hyper-aggro last plunderstorm in the beginning then it kinda settled a bit
the few games I did the day it launched people were like laser-focused on murder
i did like to hunt others too if they are higher level
but also typically have 2-3 players on my ass hunting when it makes no sense to waste time
I'm just grinding the final few plunder i need, and in this round, a guy has been chasing me across the entire map. I turned on auto-run at one point, lmao.
Dude was determined to murder me
lol
I might just do it enough to get a mount, maybe both
how much plunder do you usually get if you end up top like 20?
oh so like no time
Pets - 4000
Mounts - 10000
Transmog - 8000 (Melee weapons) + 1500 (Guns) + 4500 (Stormridden) + 4000 (Head) + 1000 (Back)```
I was expecting to get maybe a couple hundred
This is just new items. Returning are similar but there's more of them.
Both new mounts are 5k, both pets are 2k. Weapons are 1k to 2k. Some of the other stuff is 500, etc
