yeh its gonna be massive for early prog next tier
obviously not the proc one xd
that and gally yes
i got eye of kezan 2 weeks in a row now in the vault
i swear blizz has some ai shit that analyses ur gear and finds the way how to troll u every reset
If they’re just getting into pve I’m assuming not mythic gally
well awful hc groups it will be good on gally as well
why not smh
na man im just playing i just have no idea about Rogue in PVE thats why i needed the input
thanks alot <3
you can sim the upgrades but HoC worth it. Outside of that play around with what you can’t craft.
Second trinket is for the most part whatever.
Try to get an energy drink from delves

Jastors heroic as a ring should be a big upgrade. Maybe second buy there.
Craft a MH weapon. Get 4 pc. Get HoC. That’s the big 3 for sub. Everything else is kinda whatever.
Likely big over pvp ring but that’s a sim thing
I hope we get another buff like arcane did 😦 5% is not enough
I want to feel even more powerful
Someone tell blizz for me
5% is fine
Gotta be happy with the small things. thats what my GF always tells me aswell 
im not sure i will switch back to raid as sub but deffo will do keys again
anyone have a full BIS sim they can link? I can go create one, but like if you got one that'd be great
Just don’t do keys. Ez
need those crests
btw are the build on wowhead good ?
did 8x10 last night all as sub and more often than not wasnt the worst dps 😄
Guides have recommended. You should always just sim gear upgrades. BiS lists are troll.
yes
!fuu

I dont' eat soap
Bis list complete.
another noob question: Thistle Tea has to be used manually right?
Don’t spec tea
Ever
in any spec or content?
then icy veins owes me an apology lmao
Doubtful
or wherever i saw that
i swear i saw a PVP Sub guide with TT in it but maybe i was tripping. ok so no TT for Sub
but for other specs it's used?
Tea does nothing for sub. We don’t need energy and the mastery isn’t worth enough to skip cold blood
oh boi
apologies. im just setting everything up PvP and PvE so i just asked here
in pve we don’t take it
PvP idk what they have 
You have to manually use it as a cd
Or it will also auto send when conditions are met
it’s a stupid ability. 
one of the victims of the great rogue confusion
which Im sure is how blizz calls the design sessions
pmuch
not only is rogue kinda confusing for someone who never played rogue before, but it's vastly different than Warlock or Blood DK
The dmg comes from constantly re-stealthing mostly, or entering a mode where you can use stealth abilties, and constant CC (pvp wise)
it's a very challenging change for me but i think i can really excel with this class. it seems like it has a ton of tools. damn near everything you might need
PvP I think u still have a good amount of stops
But you’re still a support spec for the hero class (mage)
In pve we don’t really have shit all to write home about.
LOL
i mean just in comparison to what dk brings
why
Because they don't have a raid buff
u bring AMS for 2 additional ppl, amz, cr, range interrupt, slappy hands, grips
And get left out basically all the time
is there a benefit to not macroing Cold Blood and ST?
aww
yes
i think blizz explicitly said they know dk doesn't have a raid buff, so they design raids with that in mind
so dk has use in raid
its a dps gain to use cb with 2nd st in burst window
death grip being mandatory on some fights
This tier that's kinda not true
ok so keep them seperate keybinds
to a certain extent yes, but dks were very useful on stix
But usually there's a fight or two for that
i guess... i still macroed it but made a macro that allows me to have naked sectech
they could have made grip more valuable by making the last 3 boss adds potentially gripable
got it. i just want to start off by building good muscle memory so i have all these specific keybind questions
i appreciate everyone who takes the time to help me with answers 😄
rogue is the definition for "lot of effort for little reward"
glhf
well except for assi i guess
i saw someone write in trade chat today about how he couldn't play rogue because it was too hard
It's a common sentiment I see around.
Rogue is too hard / too complex / not worth the effort
i mean its a scale i guess
thank you for letting me know. right up my alley xD
it is why we're the least played class
no we don't have scales
i dont think anyone would call assa hard
this is specifically what brought me to rogue xD
Hell yeah
yeah assi bleed build is the definition of random shit go
I also don't really think it's true. But it's a subjective thing that is due to perception rather than reality.
i think people sleep on how many steps are involved with play sin in M+
Yeah.
specifically playing around IC and DS
The content you play will detemrine a lot, too. Sub is really simple once you get used to it's CD cadence but then you get a weird tank and it suddenly becomes impossible lmao
people just sleep when playing sin
haha fair enough
Id rather call assa bleed in m+ cumbersome than hard but I guess Im probably not the best one to speak since never bothered to master it
i've had a few people i know try playing sin and give up because they found it too punishing
as someone who played high end content on Shaman, Monk, Lock, BDK, VDH and HDH, i can tell you rogue looks the most complicated for me
bleed is for sure a vibe in keys, it's not hard
but the fundamental design of how sin plays in keys is unlike most other specs
yeah i hear a lot of people say that too haha, compared to other games
Now pet battling
at most you are reacting to procs
that's hard
but there's very little forward thinking involved
bruh like last season arcane 😄
even with sub
the amount of decision making
worse than outlaw reroll
and one naked symbols somewhere there as well
aint rocket science
counting to 2 is hard or something
Have you seen the warrior discord
god no
lol warrior
Their counting channel is one of the funniest, brilliantist things around
i played arms earlier in the tier for splits, you can kinda just press buttons as they come up
and in sort of whatever order
mostly
fdk discord was an absolute cinema yday with a guy trying to make a steak in air fryer and mistakenly set it to 20 mins instead of 6-8
lmao
i was literally crying
Fury felt similar when i played it a bit
This parody song is actually called "Numbers" like Drowning Pool's "Bodies" but no one calls it that. They just call it "I can only count to four" by Psychostick. I'm sure people called Bodies "Let the bodies hit the floor" all the time. JJJreact #psychostick #songparody

ability only stuns you. Doesn’t launch you into a fit of death mechanics.
so smarter version of outlaw.

so war designer has one more braincell
yeah from what i hear warrior is in a weird spot
they also have a bunch of janky stuff going on
!sod

great video ^^
it was very applicable on echo of nelth
i noticed that, when ss+vanish triggers tfd, if during the countdown I get out of combat, tfd is gone
and those timer restarts drive me up the fckin wall
would there be a possibility you yield different results between each enchant depending on gear or are the results usually consistent in favor of echoing void?
i also saw this in outlaw pins, not sure how relevant that is, idk much about these enchants
is it in here i can ask about sub pvp things?
its in the pins
Heyy guys, how are you sub comunity
Im a big player of assa/outlaw but never rly played sub.
What do you think about right now in m+ and raid ?
If you compare it to assa
in m+
its dog shit
in raid
its okay
still below assi probably
but its more fun to play
You put in a lot of effort for little reward
Lacking aoe , st ? Complex rotation ?
assi is mongo bongo lol bleed lol do damage
sub is juggle everything to maybe do 500k less damage overall
honestly
you can almost press whatever you want as long as you 5 rupture
and keep CT
and its fine
its really hard to fuck up assi
but yeah
sub is more fun to play though
when you press damage buttons
you see damage go up
doing insane burst on pull is also nice
Tier list is what it is, but i see some ppl putting sub A+ in front of assa/outlaw without explanation
OUR HERO SURVIVES AND KILLS IT AGAIN
WATCH US AT
twitch.tv/mothravita
twitch.tv/pashrac
my guild's mugzee kill
our 1 tank left alive at the end, text book finish
for your viewing pleasure
because tier lists are stupid
there's no shot a single person is putting sub ahead of sin or outlaw in any pve content
Yes it is, petko and wowhead
delves 
Petko is a great player of m+ all time
teehee delves
honestly sin feels better in delves gonna be real
you just exit stealth, spread with IC and everything dies
HAHA nah
yeah it's actually crazy good in delves
feels like no effort, sub you actually need to press buttons
Check the wowhead tier list
i've never looked at a wowhead tier list, got a link?
Average sin player
oh ok found it i think
well
Petkosham also put sub a+ , he say very good dmg
petko is full of shit then lmao
Lol
Prophet you feel sub is lacking of something m+ ?
Sub is fine for most players is the thing. If you aren't doing anything past 12s, you'll barely notice a problem.
Except the effort to result part
Which isn't a big deal for someone like me who is going to suck regardless
yeah pretty much the burst doesn't warrant the downtime
the doing tank damage outside of cds
it's weird because i think blizz doesn't want sub to have omega burst because then sub would be kinda broken in raid
but then we fall off so hard outside cds so there's not really a way to keep up in higher target count dungeons
Damage amp fears
sub was amazing at the start of the season, but then as we got more gear i started getting out dpsed by guildies who are not very good players
Basically
and i didn't want to be in the same position as last season where i fell behind massively and was a burden in every key trying to run sub
and make the same mistake of swapping to sin late
so i just swapped quick
last season i did swap back to sub after the rework it and it wasn't a troll spec to play anymore
(and then quit pushing)
to paraphrase casualaddict on someone asking why he was playing sin over sub early on this season- "why push a boulder up a mountain when you can slide down with no effort"
not wrong
its silly how little effort assi is
and how much damge it does out of cds
well then again
you can sorta say that for every single othre class in the game
What CDs tho even
The difference between using CDs and not is pretty forgettable
(not counting vanish)
Chain pulling is pretty crippling though
you can work around it
yeah sin can hold DM for pretty long periods of time
it's the exact opposite of sub
you hold cds as sub for any period of time you start dropping off enormously
oh the wowhead tier lists are old
by 1 month
that's why sub is A-tier
maybe 2 months ago
maybe i can't count to 5, let me see
yeah seems weird to me they considered sub A tier at that point
also the way of doing dates year/month/day is chinese, so that's a weird thing too
I remember us going into S2 with Sub being pretty high up
huh, that's cool. The reverse of the european way of day/month/year. I didn't realize they did it differently
yeah and then americans do month/day/year for some reason
The most confusing way
i'm used to the european way, so every time my guild puts out dates on stuff i get all messed up lol
my guild being NA
YES
pick one and stick to it everywhere
I think the EU was talking about it a while back haha
we aren't farmers anymore
Also we should settle on a proper way to tell the temperature
I propose using the one where water boils at 100 and freezes at 0 BECAUSE THAT'S SENSIBLE
year/month/day is the most logical one for data storage
makes sortings things so much easier
ahh ok makes sense
US one makes no sense
Yeah
day month year makes sense from a readability standpoint though
Yeah
i bet you there's a really stupid reason why the US does month day year
to be different from the english
Probably
Yeah leave it to murica to make up the weirdest ass shit
Some of our ideas are pretty good in 'ol blighty. Not all of them are something to throw out
Adding random letters to thee nd of words, however.
Programme. ????
oh apparently they borrowed it from europe
My dyslexic ass growing up did not enjoy the extra silent letters
well at least the brits changed it haha
Tempted to try and find all the documents proposing the change to see how angry people got at it
Apperently 1752 is when we swapped
arent the brits the one that say they use metrics but in reality they use imperials
Buddy I don't know what we use half the time
cor blimey mary poppins
tea and crumpets?
bo'wa'o'wo'ah
In accordance with a 1750 act of Parliament, England and its colonies changed calendars in 1752. By that time, the discrepancy between a solar year and the Julian Calendar had grown by an additional day, so that the calendar used in England and its colonies was 11 days out-of-sync with the Gregorian Calendar in use in most other parts of Europe. lol, this rules
loicense?
bottle of water?
why did i understand that
innit
yip
Gotta change the calender 'cos we've got 11 bonus days by accident
it was On CHEWSDAY, innit
but apparently high schoolers in the UK are so dumb i didn't study at all for my GCSEs and got decent grades
My greatest accomplishment is having zero GCSE's and no A-Levels, but having two BSc's and an LLM
DAAAAMN
several AOTC's included
And 2200+ days worth of WoW
Actually that's my greatest accomplishment, fuck the education
i mean, education is important but wow is importanter
A big isue with the GCSE / A-Level system is you teach to pass an exam rather than like, actually teaching useful skills. So the entire structure is now teach to pass, not teach to learn skills
It's super frustrating
that is education in a nutshell
Yep
and they are confused why kids aren't able to focus
like i had a really hard time in school, and at the time was constantly getting in trouble all the time
Thankfully I skipped it all. Taken out of school at 9. Adult city and guilds education at 16, University at 18. WoW from 19 and nothing useful since.
but now i see it wasn't my fault, it was the system
Ye
oh damn nice
We all learn differently and the idea you can have this one size fits all approach is just deeply frustrating
i mean, its up to you actually... on my uni u could actually get very high grade by just memorising shit and then reporducing it on exam exactly like it is...
i mean who in the hell needs to learn sedimentation theory of fucking sand and dirt in geography class at 16 years old
and it was an engineering uni so that kinda of shit should be impossible but i guess some professors r just lazy
I did Psychology & Criminology as my first so it was all essay and practical stuff rather than exams. So actual practical stuff for the fields
Which is super good as a way to grade those fields
'Cos you've gotta demonstrate you can understand the theory and apply it properly
Engineering seems cool as hell though
eh yea, thats what i tho as well 😄
u do get disappointed ofc
tho I guess its nice on high end universities like MIT n stuff
Yeah
when u do it in 3rd world country where uni struggles to get half the equipment they need, it kinda becomes rather underwhelming
Frustratign 😦
it's hard to know how good you have it until you've visited a third world country
just small things like walking through ancient temple sites
and having dozens of kids run up to you trying to sell you stuff or begging for money
Now
Lets go Monaco
I must be the most loyal guy in the world, sub main and supporting Ferrari
Seems like you are THE underdog
Naah, Im the updog
condolences
!guide
Are horses that cool ?
yea they are fast and taste decent
And they are less scary then cows
yea people forget how strong cows can be
and they are tame but not skilled
so they oops trample you
And underestimate how fast they can be for their size. I grew up in a place with more cows then people and i got chased some times by some angry cows. Its a sight seeing a animal weighing a few hundred kilo to run at you at full speed
@tribal blade back to sub for reclears?
we never went out
Started as Sub, been playing assa in raid and I’m ready to swap back. Assa is 🥱 and not fun. Wondering if the 5% buff will be enough to not troll my raid group. I doubt it, but it’s something
sub will be fine on all bosses now that mug zee kinda falls over
when we get that belt, its gonna be tfd season in mythic
when bosses start dying in like 3 mins 😄
the belt is interesting with the ramping mastery
is it just me or it feels like we r gettin a bit too much
first half of the season bosses get nerfed, 2nd part we get fckton of dps boost
most midcore guilds are still in sprocket/oab
yea, that would be my guild
but not bc of mechanical issues, but roster
we done like one mythic night in past 5 weeks or so when stix died
well yea that is the void of like wr 700-1k+
where everyone does not have time or other things
and recruiting is a nightmare too
we should have the entire june I guess
i dont mind it i have more time
im a shitty-weather-gamer
snow storms, heavy rain outside mmmm
but when the raid starts and its still daylight outside, feels weird
100000% agreed
Summer I gotta be outside
Wow is a good wintertime activity

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Well 4 masks actually seemed pretty manageable
probably completely insane going for the 5th though
think 5 is only possible with rly good gear and a bit of luck on your side
unlocking more of the tree will make it more reasonable
Is unlocking 5th mask pretty doable?
It looked like a bit of effort I wasnt up to during work
Unlocking the masks is trivial
my gf and me did unlock i think all masks you can this week, you don't need to do more than 1 mask runs for it so its easy doable
Multitudes, kill everything in the vision and the objectives is the one I was worried about.
Guess I'll try it tonight.
Ok that's actually possible i just messed up and got stunned
Got to shaw with 2 orbs left somehow
Multitudes is just annoying
Have to kill everything for it
Which defeats the whole stealth speedrun rogue has
yeh no
those last few zones absolutely suck takes too long to kill stuff.
loved getting a below 50% sanity horror pulling 10 mobs from nowwhere that was fun ;p
long night is just too much with the drain rate we have. maybe doing some insane evasion secret tech nukes it might work
Will we need all the masks unlocked to get the best version of the enchant whenever it comes out?
Doubt it
where to see incoming patch notes?
Blizzard has published new class tuning coming with the weekly reset on May 27th, buffing Augmentation and Preservation Evokers, Survival Hunters, Frost Mages, Holy Paladins, Shadow Priests, Subtlety Rogues, Restoration Shaman, Destruction Warlocks, and Fury Warriors, alongside a several other PvP-specific adjustments.
if you mean these
lmao 5% aura buff
SPEC SAVED

ye, its a 4% buff
i did a rough estimate picture when it was released
so sub is at best middle of the pack
still behind outlaw and sin
which means, the entire idea of the buff was not to make anyone play sub
but to make the remaining players on the spec happy
whatever happened to the 10% auras when a spec has been dogshit all tier
they just forgot about those?
or are those just reserved for mage and warlocks
i mean it happens when sin is bad
but subtlety either get no buff
or a very minor mon to not change the balance between specs
is that based on general overall dps? or specifically raid or m+?
based on history
gotcha
e.g. SL season 1
sin was last, similar like sub is now
and they buffed it till everyone exclusively played it
tbf assassination in season 1 of shadowlands was actually unplayable
i'm a new player, is that 5% buff substantial? ie moves as a tier?
like sub s2-4 of BFA levels of unplayable
outlaw has been playable for the longest time since it was first introduced in legion (correct me if im wrong)
it was quite a bit behind, but this was known even before the tier began.
the thing is
they did not buff it to still be behind the other specs
Maybe the person implementing the buff will add an extra zero to make it 50% increase all damage for sub
but over and over again
Outlaw is often shit in raids
till it was the best spec
shadowlands was such a bad spot for rogue overall
for the etire tier
they never even fixed sub
and this did happen multiple times now
sub got by with bandaids (EoN and shards)
when sub was bad
it just rotted the entire expac
it did rot on its position typically

I get that but it's still playable compared to other two specs if we're looking at the past
Step 1. Remove Shuriken Combo because of Zul
Step 2. ?????
Step 3. ?????
Step 4. People still play this spec?
blizzard's approach to sub in BFA
legion had the same happen
s4 sin was behind
then it was buffed to be the best raid spec
besides tc's asking for similar buffs to all specs to keep them competitive
yeah but that would require them to care about rogue overall
legion was a crime against combat and outlaw
they nerfed them
EVERY TIME
it was about to be good
they just slap aura buffs on a class until 1 spec is really good and go "WELL JOB DONE THANKS EVERYONE"
we meme about bfa but legion was also ruthless
inherently, i am not even sure its intentional
but with sin being the go-to for so long
it might got more people outraged if its bad
because it's the easiest I think for them to just tweak
so devs care more
right
think about it, outlaw you if you tweak it too high is just obscenely OP in keys
its never about balance but about perception
and I think they're scared to do that because of BFA
ion mention it in his talk
when you ran 2-3 outlaw rogues in keys lol
they don't balance the game for balancing reasons but to make the most amount of people happy
and I think sub suffers because blizz has no idea what to do with the spec
so we get half assed bandaids
so whatever they think achives that
to carry sub over the finish line
I could design it to be cool.
it was designed to be cool
sorry - perception of...? what exactly
it had literally the coolest niche in the game
aoe -> ST
with combo
then they ruined it because of one fucking boss
player perception
understood
80% adding Ky'veza's animations. 20% finding the combo code from BfA and pasting it back in
basically, the statement was somewhat around this
people are never happy
and balance will never be good
so they just wing it
based on how balance is precived
and how they want to change/impact it
(unless i missunderstood the talk)
I don't even bother anymore tbh
but it was like 1 or 1.5h i think
and the content was worth 2 scentences
so much words to say nothing
the last 3 expacs solidified what I believed to be true over the last 2 decades
I don't need to hear his fluff
i think wow repeats itself
classic came with detailed talent trees
they had one point for each level, so you always got something out of leveling up
but these trees grow with every xpac
so they became impossible to balance and maintain
Is this some recent interview
and blizz changed away to a system more defined
with strong interessting perks, so you had capstones to decide between
stilleto or stabber for first dagger craft?
but seems like this was not a good approach, because DF changed back to the former
Just the regular agi dagger
Not the one with special effect
Ok thanks
but they never fixed the problem that made them move away from the talent system in classic
so what now?
they keep adding to the hero trees, never really improving anything
do we just add more talents, people are already completely lost with what we have
I think they just don’t understand how to scale the system but they also don’t really have community talks
It’s impossible to give actual feedback in this game
they tried that
they tried it with devs coming into class discords in DF
we used to have class dev in each class discords but it has been unsuccessful in its course
Yeah like he who shall not be named in SL as well
then people started attacking blizzard reps who went out of their way to talk to the community, and then these guys just stopped because why would you subject yourself to random attacks
Esp for the pay they got. I'm sure another part is a lot of talent just doesn't stick around so it's constantly re-learning the old issues and repeating shit.
yeah...
think devs going directly into a 10k+ member server is already a bit of a putting a target on yourself
plus from my understanding from what I've seen in the various class discords. I think they're also hamstrung by what they want to do vs what the overall team wants them to be able to do
im surprised that class devs decided to communicate with wider audience instead of spec rep like fuu, whispyr, foreverguy etc
Nah, man. I've already predicted it.
it's here to stay apparently
That would be tragic
They're gonna add a few Void choice nodes.
So you'll have like Void-tainted nodes and stuff which add an effect. You can just layer stuff on top fo them. Which is probably fine but eh.
i fear the talent system may just turn into PoE version of it
Like many people said here I’m also of the opinion that hero talents are a band aid fix
they've done that in the past, and then blizzard faced a ton of backlash from the every day player that they're catering to the top 1%
We're half-way through and a lot of hero trees still need full on reworks so this is how it is. Tons of reason why they aren't done and they're all depressing.
Instead of fleshing out talents
realistically, there's no winning for them
haha, little did they know ^^
so they just cater to the casuals who pay the bills now, and that's probably the best business decision
yeah but you're a theorycrafter, automatically places you in the top 1% sir
Arguably they're failing there to some extent 'cos you can point to a myriad of issues. It's a real damned if you do, damnd if you don't 'cos of deadlines, metrics, whatever else.
If only they could just be left alone to make a video game they wanna make
There’s just too much divide in the communities themselves sadly
yep, that's the issue with the gaming industry now
yea, i just recalled that a moment ago, man - those times were disturbing. I get why blizzard made that choice afterwards
everything's driven by metrics
Like there were some people actually advocating for goremaw…
and $$$$$
Ye
look at baldur's gate 3, took like a million years to came out
and was clearly the best game made in the last decade+
lol
Nah, man.
Expedtion 33 is
Hands down. Game of the decade.
(BG3 is right up there though)
It’s a good game it just doesn’t scratch the depth of bg3
I think BG3 was amazing in its own catagory
the factorio expansion lowkey kinda windmill dunked on every game release i can think of in the past 5-10 years
But 33 is a super cool example of how around 60~ people can make a really fucking good video game. A mixture of really experienced veterans and completely new people
there's too much rigidness in the gaming industry atm
The soundtrack being done by a guy who's never done one before and did music as his hobby. The writer being a VA who came on as a VA and ended up writing it.
I think WoW is just being milked at this point fwiw
oh it 100% is
All live service games are because that's their purpose.
I'd argue it's been milked since wod
Legion was a break glass if disaster incoming expac
You can’t look at MoP and say “being milked”
Wrath was the peak of subscriptions, though.
unironically, shadowlands was 😛
Yeah
Sure I can. You can apply the same arguments people make today 'cos of the dailies, etc. So much of this is subjective and not really built on anything substanial.
Legion was the "last" story
They totally broke glass
No you very much can’t because the amount of content in the game was absurd
they legit released every emergency "oh shit" card they had for legion
but if you want to talk like, just business? Wrath was their peak of the game being this GIGANTIC hit and that's when it would've been seen as a perpetual cashcow.
It didn't

I hated SL so much - 15min mythic sylvanas fight and it was my first ever CE... (+720 pulls in my guild)
It also had arguably the best raid tier
Timeless Isle was the best content in wow so he's not wrong
I'm being so Fr tho
it'll keep the money rolling for sure
Housing is extremely cool, though. I'm not sure why people are shitting on it so much. They're finally going back to their roots of taking something that works well in another MMO and taking it themselves and making it real fucking good.
they missed the ball on not implementing it sooner tbh
Housing is a good feature
Housing will be unused within 3 months, pin it
U could say that about any feature wow gets
like you're not wrong, it'll be a huge hit
wow is very very very behind on this housing thing
So much of WoW is Blizz taking stuff from other games and doing something really good with it
They try and fix the ui, "it's so late to being doing that"
Better late than never
They fix balance "why does it take so long"
other games have had housing for a long time already or longer tbh
That’s Blizz
esp if you can customize it well
Sub gets a buff "oh well why didn't it happen sooner"
And so far it looks like Blizz are gonna do it better than anybody else.
blizz's doing good things while also doing bad things to themselves....
Corruptions get released one month after their patch
Oh wait
They’re still locked
how so

had to quickly go afk
I love recycled time gated content
Have you looked at the previews and shit? It's the best part of FF14's approach with like, Wildstar's influence, Lotro, etc.
Go read any of the blogs or watch any of the vids abt it
It's actually better than anybody imagined
i kind of did
Yes housing looks great
Like, it's a legitimate exmaple of Blizz taking what other studios have done AND doing it better due to learning from their lessons.
If you disagree then you’re just a sour Andy idk
Something they used to be known for and were very good at.
all i saw was decos and normal house stuff with vague ideas about neighborhoods
real talk though, as much as we meme blizzard. They do a really really good fucking job of taking something and improving on it
happy sub noices
like visions ?
Yeah! I wish they'd keep doing it 'cos they're good at it.
Idk what more you want
yeah thats not new
sry i had to make the joke
It
other games have done that for like 20 years
It literally is new to wow
And no
Other games haven’t
FF is the other big mmo with housing
the ideas they steal from other games? when they implement them they do a good job of it
It doesn’t have that
Shitting on blizzard is the cool thing to do so
yes they have runescape did this in 03 or something
Is what it is
Warbands are another cool example, actually
they took grifts from diablo 3 and made them way better/rewarding than grifts ever could be
RuneScape is a low tick rate based game with much less control over what you can place or do
m+ is insanely successful
Idk what that comparison even is
Taking account wide progression and shit. And doing it in a real good way. Warbands, the Warbank, etc. They're all huge improvements to the game that a lot of other MMO's struggle with.
thats they had similiar house features 20 years ago
No they just had housing features
WoW's transmog system is one fo the best around, too. It's wholesale copied from other MMO's and I think only GW2 has it done slightly better.
And the initial implementation was very minimal
I'm trying to imagine the outrage if blizzard pulled what ggg did with poe1/poe2
and lmao
And it’s also completely instanced
Ion would have to enter the identity protection program
What, make WoW 2?
i dont think aesthetically it's going to be at swtors level though to be honest, because they did it really, really well with strongholds
The fact that ggg is now getting glazed for Poe 2 is making me sick to my stomach
Absolute bastard company
SWTOR's housing is super limited though. You can only attach stuff to nodes. WoW's is full freeform
isn't poe2 rly hard?
the problem wasn't its difficulty
the problem was it was just bad
for the maze thing yeah, graphically and the ten million decos, how it looks, the functionality it has, no
okay fair
The WoW housing is great I will be making mine sub rogue themed and have death traps if they allow me to kill people
game has dummies for you to parse in at your house
And they had them with garrisons
Ye
That too
bro garrisons could've been so sick
we will see what they do, but i dont think it will be S tier immediately
Oh yeah they hyped them up so much
And then put like seven minutes of effort into them
And a technical nightmare
Hey, have your base in ANY of these zones!!!
the original idea for x was SO COOL seems to be a common theme
haha, yeah
Torghast
the original idea for warfronts was insanely cool
torghast
just shells of what was planned
unlucky
I mean, from a technial standpoint I absolutely understand why they cut them down. Absolute nightmare.
Did you know that there are two long running bugs in the Alliance garrison that still aren't fixed? One is outright game breaking.
Lmfao
nice to see sub channel being pretty alive
Best thing to come from Garrisons is the Lumberjack title
The horde bug
15 of us went and watched the movie
many of the systems had good ideas
And then I quit the fucking game myself
That bricked garrison building
twitter integration was a major patch in wod wasn't it?
If you run down from your Garrison to the harbour when it is in stage 1 and hang on the right side of the path, the game will disconnect you. BUT! When you reconnect it will spawn you in the air above that spot, and disconnect you. You have to put in a ticket to get yourself moved lmao
lmfao
Bc only one person could interact with the goblin spyglass at a time
but never good implementations
So bliz had to take down servers and auto-complete the quest for everyone
lmao
Legendary moment
I wonder how much of it was because of how spaghetti the engine is at this point
I remember realz trying to separate iron wire and imp garrote from subterfuge
and complaining about how much of a mess it was
Didn’t WoD cause the implementation of sharding
i think its a lack of iteration
Or was that something else
I remember WoD appearing on the BBC trading standards watchdog program 'cos of people complaining about it
I think so, because the playerbase plummetted so they had to make the world feel alive lol
I think that was in Legion
blizz thought they would nail it in one iteration
with torghast
and create a similar good gamepla loop
Yeah - Island expedtions, torghast, warfronts. Ideas they toss as soon as they don't work instead of building on them and refining them
and you realize how hard it is
if you look at hades 2
and it does not capture players as much as the first one
even tho its a good game
I think a big part of that was it being in the Epic gulag for ages.
Like, that has a huge impact on people actually playing your game
not rly
people go to games if they are good
its just a lot of pc gamers are married to steam
so they will be very loud if something is not on steam
I think at one point I had steam, epic, origin, and another one idr
Ubisoft's one probably
roguelikes were a fad though as a lot of stuff is
EA have basically given up on Origin and it's now EA Play and most run on steam anyway. UBisoft seem to be clinging to it haha
like sub stuff with niches dies pretty quick
roguelike is a very competitive genre
Also a very broad one
so you can't easy just replicate a good formula
Like, the difference between sometihng like Rogue, ADOM, and I dunno, Monster Train. Huge.
I wonder what game introduced people to the genre more? Slay the Spire or Hades
is tft considered a roguelike?
do the roguelikes have a sub specialization in them, is fuu telling us to go play those games sublimininally
we talked about ttorghast
Nah, Autobattler ain't it?
which is a rogulike design
autochess like i would say, but there are many names for the genre
autobattler
Yeah
I mean, Hearthstone had it's own roguelike mode so sure, it probably can be
they still have ye
But if you take something like ADOM and put it next to say, HS's roguelike mode. The world of difference haha
they did a lot of stealing from other games that was not that good and dropped after a certain point
erliest i remember was thousendwinter in WOTLK
Did someone have a list of fastest delves for rogues?
sidestreed and fungal folly probably
you can use spores again to kill mobs in fungal
so its rly fast/easy
day 2 of saying sub community needs to come together and have a list of organized and succinct list of proposed designed changes
Posion toggle
I have fungal down to about 10mins. I'll try a rush run on street
some of the underwater ones can also be fast
as you can depending on the play skip most of them
my s1 fungal folly record was a few minutes
they changed it back again
Did you ever record how you do it?
even tho spores are now more local, they now do damage again to mobs
and there are more of them
so you can speed up your delve by kiting enemies into spores
idk if you can still do it in 4 min or sub 4 mins
what are our bis trinkets if our main focus is m+ and what should we spend dinars on
i haven't attempted to speedrun it this season
you want to have house of cards combined with whatever you find and sims good
2nd slot is quite irrelevant
yes
house of cards is bis
so if you don't have it, its a good thing for your dinar or to farm in heroic raids
seaforium hoc
jastors and ritual bone brand beat our circes reportedly but i do not think it is by much
also understand sub is 30-50% behind other rogue specs in most cases
Binding of Isaac
Probably the game that initiated the explosive popularity in roguelikes
thats a flash game, right?
Yeah, it def had an impact.
(i am joking because it started as a flash game)
Originally yes
i only play sub i dont want to play sin or combat
Hell yeah more Sub rogues
fancy pants was a dope flash game
welcome to the club brother
but yeah
can't go wrong with a jump and run ^^
i think those qualified need to do either need to have two lists for sub changes, one for proposed changes in short term that makes sub competitive with other rogue specs and the other is more long term with more in depth changes
make an article out of it or something, it's at least something to set you apart from other class discord channels
there was an article on wowhead about it ^^
i read the talent portion of it, didnt go in depth enough imo
i mean you can extend the content infinitely
like you guys are into theorycrafting, you have access to all the stuff to know what we would need to be competitive
competitiveness is numbers
the idea behind this is that if numbers can prove these things you just save dev time
Its typically a mix between damage and util that makes a spec meta
only if the group needs it
example of short term can for example be buffing sectec to make us more competitive in m+ but buffing one skill too much means it has to be nerfed later
the reason it got nerfed was basically the tier set
we should just have a changelist on hand man
or well
Subs damage is just very lackluster compared to other specs rn
Imagine if they never nerfed it!
blizz wanting sub to do less damage in general
Sub would probably be upper mid tier
things i dont think should be on the short term list are like moving talents or adding new ones or etc because its more in depth
so you could freely pick
short term just needs to be numbers based
well the problem you miss is
the feedback blizz searches is never solutions
but problems
so they can make their own solutions
e.g. we suggested things
but rarely did they ended up getting implemented
what was an example or something that was suggested
developers often want the control over their systems, and bring their own solutions
its with most games like this
and as oxi mentioned earlier in DF
even when developers ended up active in the chat
it was rare to see solutions taken from the community
outside of qality of life changes
there is another problem of time
you have one dev work on 5 or 8 specs
yeah devs having control and not utilizing community changes if often a thing it can come with perception biases and stuff
