tbf eco first boss you can time for add pad 😄

chrome palm
#

i def didnt do 150m less boss dam

steel zinc
#

😄

chrome palm
#

but you are bursting 30 mil in aoe

bright sundial
#

puts a big grin on my face not seeing marks top with only explo tier

chrome palm
#

and sustaining the damage for really long

#

like 20 mil after 1 min on first pull

#

thats not too bad??

bright sundial
chrome palm
#

its just randos

haughty mural
#

Got a breakdown ?

chrome palm
#

this is overall the hunter left before 3rd boss

#

im using bp as much as a i can as well

haughty mural
#

Of the boss 😁

chrome palm
bright sundial
#

damn wish coup didnt take like 10 spots on it

swift tinsel
#

There’s a script to combine them

tidal blade
#

@chrome palm are you using that delve trinket

haughty mural
#

Thanks

chrome palm
#

yeah

tidal blade
#

wonder if thats going to make it til next week

haughty mural
chrome palm
#

i was gonna prestack it lol

#

it works by building up to 15 stacks

#

i had to step out of dungeon though

hazy breach
#

Does starting the key not reset it

#

Or are you doing the "be outside when the bubble drops" to not have it be reset

#

Because either way aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh thats so cringe (i will also do it)

chrome palm
#

no i just saw mapko mention prestacking it a while back but i didnt get the chance to do it

#

prestack trinket + predisorient + presymbols + prepot

hazy breach
#

Prestacking disorienting doesnt work if you go outside since its cleared on zone-change

chrome palm
#

yeah

#

i didnt get to prepull shit

swift tinsel
#

Im really surprised they aren't cracking down on pre-key stuff like this

#

they've chipped away at some of it here and there but there's still so much degen shit you can get away with

chrome palm
#

do you think they know about predisorient

swift tinsel
#

I would imagine it's at least on their radar

fallow nimbus
#

Critter canon outside, get cp, sectec critter on spawn

chrome palm
#

even assa is prepulling now with lingering darkness

fallow nimbus
#

Critter canon in instances doesn't work because reason pepehands

swift tinsel
#

can you duel inside an instance or is that only open world

chrome palm
#

you can pet battle Cheesin

swift tinsel
#

even better lol

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Like 0.8% or so iirc

merry agate
alpine wraith
#

btw try to snipe a sigil of cosmic hunt if you can from raid

#

it is surprisingly good at highrolling

hazy breach
#

Slightly more if you do the vanish opener with it (ie strike > flag > evis > vanish > strike > rupture > go)

alpine wraith
#

it also randomly cleaves

chrome palm
merry agate
slate lantern
#

everytime they use aimed shot they should have to complete a 5s osu! map

swift tinsel
swift tinsel
#

I know the main hits can

#

but haven't looked at the splash in a sec

#

I'm likely locking that one in for reserve besides prism

alpine wraith
#

yea it will be less contested than antenna and forge

chrome palm
#

is antenna that good

alpine wraith
#

for others

chrome palm
#

i thought it was annoying even on a dummy

alpine wraith
#

mainly because it can highroll quite a bit

swift tinsel
#

idk it reads better than pacemaker

#

and the orbs can ironfur

alpine wraith
#

so some classes/specs that can use 30k extra crit on cds

#

will be super happy

#

we are like whatever

#

if it procs outside of cds it is also quite bad so it averages decent but not huge

chrome palm
#

i also havent seen anyone using projector

#

like at all

#

aka blue transmitter

swift tinsel
#

the 10sec duration kinda stinky on antenna too

alpine wraith
#

the void touched thingy seems quite interesting

#

you can kinda game it if close to cds

#

or play it on fights with adds

swift tinsel
#

180 run away if you're close

#

idk void seems super annoying to try and play around

haughty mural
#

Sigil and prism seem to be a easy to play around and quite nice for m+ I think

hazy breach
#

Theyre gonna tune stuff, but as of now you absolutely play voidtouched

#

Its not tied to killing blows, you just need to have tagged something that dies

#

And you get an extra stack

haughty mural
#

Nvm me then

alpine wraith
#

yea for add fights or m+ it seems ayaya

graceful crown
#

wouldnt be good if this increased your versatility by 6%?

hazy breach
#

Would be practically the same

alpine wraith
#

yea it would be decent

#

SoD defensive button pog

graceful crown
#

haste is meme

#

idk

hazy breach
#

Like the difference between crit and vers is very small

alpine wraith
#

big rupture situation

hazy breach
#

so shrugeg

tulip gorge
#

do we know what trinket we are going to use next season?

#

is it going to be the mastery trinket or the crit one?

hazy breach
#

Were expecting trinket tuning this week

#

But its prism+pacemaker/voidtouched right now

chrome palm
#

i love [purple mastery delve trinket]

hazy breach
#

Thats the voidtouched one ye

tulip gorge
#

is prism the 2 minute trinket or the spyglass one?

swift tinsel
#

the theme, knife/drink/void-touched

hazy breach
#

Spymaster one

swift tinsel
#

meaning eleem gets hero track first vault

hazy breach
#

The 2 minute one is good too if the fight is shorter (like 5m or less)

tulip gorge
#

I assume the way it works is you just ignore trinket on the first CD window?

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

even better lol

haughty mural
#

I hate don’t feel like using a 2min :3

#

Which essentially becomes a 3min

swift tinsel
#

you'll use it as a 1.5 after opener

#

unless you're talking about forge

haughty mural
#

Oh so prism regardless ?

swift tinsel
#

you'll still have 8-9 stacks every 1.5mins

haughty mural
#

Double on use meta pog

swift tinsel
#

just not for the opener

hazy breach
#

No

#

Prism OR forge

haughty mural
#

Kkk

hazy breach
#

as a 90s trinket or 3 min respectively

haughty mural
#

Yea what I was talking about

swift tinsel
#

will depend on timers

hazy breach
#

We'll see though, theres probably going to be trinket tuning

#

So that could change things up

swift tinsel
#

praying to reverse stats on lily so its agi on-use

chrome palm
#

do you think the raid 2min gets nerfed

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

In general for us

alpine wraith
#

yea after mastery got dr snapped we are in the crit vers train

#

actually mainly just haste a bit behind but also

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

i did a silly thing

#

but i got bored

#

wanted to craft a full set of mastery gear

hazy breach
#

Theres kinda no shot the void touched one gets through a trinket tuning unscathed kek

alpine wraith
#

who knows

hazy breach
#

It might still be good though

alpine wraith
#

maybe they do a 50% snap

#

but then it would be kinda decent just not op

steel zinc
#

increase duration of Kidney Shot

graceful osprey
#

Correct, nerfs incoming

alpine wraith
#

2 seconds more to rupture

#

best i can do

#

blizz problably

shadow snow
#

yeah but rogue has so much utility like why are you crying guys....

swift tinsel
#

yeah like a double-resource-cost single target stun

#

or a group disorient that breaks on 1 damage

shadow snow
#

yeah and cloak dude

#

yeah that group blind is so broken

alpine wraith
#

yea what i like the most about rogue is that i can vanish to kill someone else on some mechanics

shadow snow
#

vanish is so busted. I can get out of combat whenever i want

swift tinsel
#

I have tallys on my wall for teamkills from vanish

fallow nimbus
grand wyvern
#

17% of the times it works everytime

shadow snow
#

honestly our kit feels so overloaded. We have like everything. Immunity, cc, aoe cc. aoe dmg reduction insane dps nobody can even dream.

alpine wraith
#

yea im told all aug evokers are jelly of us

chrome palm
#

i cant even distract bosses anymore game is bricked

#

that was the ace up my sleeve when playing the old game of "who can get closest to the boss in stealth without pulling it"

haughty mural
#

Did someone read petkos tierlist on IV ?
We have so much utility poggers

astral axle
#

bro is getting gpt to write for him no doubt

slate marlin
#

yes we have atrophic and shroud

#

and um

#

distract

#

and one aoe blind

#

Op utility kit

alpine wraith
#

you can also shiv

#

every 20 secs

#

1 target

random mason
#

also u have a ST stun that surely wont be hit by the stun diminishing returns from other classes

slate marlin
#

2 st stuns actually

#

1 requires stealth

astral axle
#

cheap shot HOLY

#

tech??!?

slate marlin
#

and the other is a finisher

#

I have used cheat shot on repeat in top magus pulls when pugs couldnt kick and i was stressed

chrome palm
#

Big for danse

#

When you shiv an enrage during premed pepe_chad

alpine wraith
#

tbh i have had fun using cheapshot then kindey on some pulls

#

cool way to begin the pull

#

before the ADHD aoe things bein

swift tinsel
#

can't hit stun DR yourself if you stun first

alpine wraith
#

yea 2 mobs stunned 6 and 8 secs

#

pog

#

tanks will love you

shadow snow
fluid moth
#

wtb airborne irritant but for kidney shot

swift tinsel
#

almost got to have it

#

jk jk that was a pipedream

shadow snow
#

there are just not enough people playing the class for blizzard to care

swift tinsel
#

and there's not enough of blizzard to care

#

at the rate they're cutting folks its just gonna be execs left

shadow snow
#

well they seem to care for other classes like mage,dk, druid, hunter, paladin

lucid jackal
#

I don't think our player count has much to do with attention given

swift tinsel
#

with how long ret was kinda shit and also super popular it tracks at least somewhat that its unrelated*

shadow snow
#

maybe. I also believe nobody in the company plays rogue. Otherwise they would change stufff

lucid jackal
#

I think if you spent any amount of time playing other classes you would realize similar issues exist

#

at least, thats been my experience playing shaman, dh, paladin, warrior over the past few years

swift tinsel
#

yeah the amount of specs that are convinced they're getting a rework in midnight is notable

#

bc of their current probs

lucid jackal
#

ppl always want a rework

shadow snow
#

i dont really want a rework. We got one in df s3. Did not feel like much of a rework

swift tinsel
#

because it wasn't finished for sub

#

the framework (outside of fw existing) is good, just needs to be fine-tuned

slate marlin
#

Sub doesnt need a rework tho

#

but it needs some polish on the rough edges

shadow snow
#

yeah we just need a 20% ST dmg buff

swift tinsel
#

the only rework should be for sub aoe

shadow snow
#

and we are fine

alpine wraith
#

sub just has annoying things but those can be taken out quite easily

swift tinsel
#

^

slate marlin
#

Yep

#

some aoe polishing and bugfixes

#

and its goos

#

good

swift tinsel
#

shuffle margin of error talents into either buffed/functional versions or replace with things that make the kit/gameplay smoother

alpine wraith
#

like flag and blades are kinda weird to exist together after blades change

slate marlin
#

Maybe a rework for some talents (pv)

alpine wraith
#

and our capstones and talents leading to it are super unbalanced

shadow snow
#

also we could get hero talents from a real human and not prompted from chatgpt

alpine wraith
swift tinsel
#

trickster is mostly fine

alpine wraith
swift tinsel
#

just tweak redundant buffs

alpine wraith
#

tbh trickster is not fine coup alone has 4 bugs

#

and we cant track thousand cuts resets

shadow snow
#

coup is like so lazy design

swift tinsel
#

well yeah bugs nonwithstanding, from a basic design standpoint

#

I'd be thrilled if they went through the list and fixed all of them so the rest of the kit can be tweaked accordingly

#

instead of adding things to make up for bugs existing and not being addressed

alpine wraith
#

they did fix some of them

#

the rotten and tfd ones were annoying

swift tinsel
#

see Nimble buff but no fixes

#

yeah but they added more bugs than they fixed this ptr

alpine wraith
#

well nimble bug might be hard to fix

#

yea new tier set also being bugged

swift tinsel
#

conceptually it should be easy

alpine wraith
#

and likely staying bugged will be funny

#

someone literally put the amp on the wrong coup

swift tinsel
#

Nimble added to Blades whitelist

slate marlin
#

rotten one was extremely easy to play around

#

Nf isnt

alpine wraith
#

WHOOPS

shadow snow
#

it will stay bugged 100%

alpine wraith
#

goremaw still not cleaving since alpha

#

it cleaved then they decided no

#

then it stayed that way

#

added ER then deleted ER

swift tinsel
#

Just have abilities that nimble not nimble the shadow part of blades like it currently does

shadow snow
#

we need to make a petition to fix the bugs

swift tinsel
#

lol

#

that won't do anything

#

they're well aware

shadow snow
#

how are they aware and not fix stuff that exist for years. I believe they do not know these bugs

swift tinsel
#

You'd be surprised

shadow snow
#

especially the devs

swift tinsel
#

because they absolutely know about them

#

but likely a matter of which ones they can fix on top of whatever else they're doing

#

without breaking more stuff

#

which they do anyways

#

see Lingering and plague damage after 'fixing' it

shadow snow
#

if they know they cant fix an ability they should replace it some way

swift tinsel
#

that requires time and attention

#

which clearly is being spent elsewhere

#

gotta tune Psychic Link every couple weeks

#

takes a village apparently

shadow snow
#

i dunno all these issues seem easy in my eyes. They are probably have issue with the game engine. Its probably very hard to work with.

swift tinsel
#

It is shit

#

from all accounts

#

literal spaghetti mountain

#

and they cant just shut down the world to try and revamp all of it

#

bc people would cry to the high heavens for free gametime

#

like they do whenever maintenance is extended an hour

#

becaues they postponed their child's birthday party to log in and check vault

night sparrow
#

I tag M+ dungeons as Outlaw then secretly swap back to sub. Am I doing this right ?

shadow snow
#

they could have been working on the side to copy paste it into ue4-ue5

#

using a professional tool instead of the internal they build with intoxicated monkeys would resolve a lot of issues.

alpine wraith
#

you are overstimating people knowing the diff between outlaw and sub

night sparrow
#

tbf I get way more invits with this strat

#

i mean "way more" like from 0 to 2

#

CE + 3k5 doesn't seem enough 🥸 🤡

shadow snow
alpine wraith
#

with how easy it is to make alts people m+ pilled just only take the best

#

that is why i never bother to try and push or anything

shadow snow
#

you know whats crazy? I decided to play hard in season 3 for once.

haughty mural
#

did you roll fdk ?

shadow snow
#

i will level one to 80 tomorrow

lucid jackal
#

whats wrong with coup LOL

shadow snow
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

has some funny things

#

like finality shadowed now tier set

astral axle
#

i think guy meant in response to coup being "lazy design"

shadow snow
#

the last 2 are making me laugh

alpine wraith
#

it is nothing crazy just no idea why they made it 3 hits

lucid jackal
#

Cuz it looks cool garf

alpine wraith
#

a coup de grace is usually 1 hit to finish something

#

not some flailing

lucid jackal
#

Its cool

shadow snow
#

its whatever. Its the last talent. I wanted it to be something that rocks. Not another proc like shiet

alpine wraith
#

well better than DN

#

that for sure

#

dog ass talent

swift tinsel
#

I mean you do get five extra cp's worth of cdr every cast

#

and the extra flawless stacks

warm marlin
#

I would like coup more if it was just one large 2 hit eviscerate rather than a 6 hit thing

lucid jackal
#

It does huge damage and it gives giga CDR and giga flawless stacks

#

Its sick

swift tinsel
#

ye if they fix the 3/6 hits part

#

but that's a sub problem in general

warm marlin
#

As it stands it feels more like you press it for the flawless and such, obviously it does actually do damage but it doesn’t feel that way

alpine wraith
#

yea but i mean they could have called it anything but

swift tinsel
#

my lizard brain wants to see one big hit

warm marlin
#

Also the late sht refund thing is annoying

alpine wraith
#

any day now

#

yea that it tracks per hit

swift tinsel
#

unironically believe if it showed up like that it wouldn't get nearly as much hate

warm marlin
#

A lot more noticeable on ptr

alpine wraith
#

is very annoying

swift tinsel
#

lil ptsd when it happens

warm marlin
#

When I press coup at 6 sht I almost feel like I’m going to drop a bit of a gcd waiting to see if I proc

astral axle
#

ya but my coup don't jiggle jiggle it swish swish swish ya feel

chrome palm
#

The another thing with 2pc, it is very delayed when it procs

swift tinsel
#

if it was one big whabam

#

tho

#

coomtown

warm marlin
#

yes tho like u said is a bit of a sub problem in general

alpine wraith
#

well i guess the unseens will be annoying too

dry plank
#

Yes delay cp. charge before that. Not working cdr at first. Why people don’t like ability? Hmmmm strange

warm marlin
#

maybe nice for variance purposes though

alpine wraith
#

maybe will have a reminder when i have 2

swift tinsel
#

like a sound trigger

alpine wraith
#

because outside dance you dont want to spam stabs

swift tinsel
#

can UB be triggered by Successful Cast in Weakauras?

#

or bc its a proc, not

alpine wraith
#

and if you get coup you want to bank sht/energy

#

so you can actually use the second one LUL

alpine wraith
#

everything else is mumbo jumbo

swift tinsel
#

yeah using base aura, but if you use the more elaborate trigger

alpine wraith
#

the unseen hits you can track but it ends up being the same

warm marlin
#

There is a wa this tier that tracks it decently well, obv you can’t see the thousand cuts resets

dry plank
#

Give cool ability is no no. Give bugged shit potato garbanzo yes yes. Than fix bugs in 6month schedule = win win. Everyone happy to have such great ability ))

warm marlin
#

I think new 2p bricks it though

alpine wraith
#

tbh the funniest thing will be using storm in between coups

swift tinsel
#

bc iirc there's a way to have it trigger when you get 2 successful casts within 1 sec or a given amount of time

#

so in that case you could have a sound alert

#

when you get a double hit

haughty mural
#

hit me double

swift tinsel
#

but ig you can do that with EB stacks

chrome palm
#

Are you talking about tracking chance to UB

swift tinsel
#

nah

#

tracking when you get a double UB and having it play a sound

#

so no prediction like LE's aura

chrome palm
#

That one is also broke it thinks 2pc is consuming chance to UB

swift tinsel
#

I gave up on tracking the thousand cuts resets a while ago

#

and used LE's for a while

#

but for next season idk if it'd be useful to have one that plays a sound when UB double hits

#

maybe in the case of it going from 2-4 so you know not to send strike/bs

#

can tinker after work/gym tonight

#

unless a bigger brain wants to get there first

#

similar to shadowcraft/ace refunds

alpine wraith
#

sound on double hits will be likely what i use

#

and maybe a tts on the stacks i end as

#

so if i go from 1 to 3 i know it is ok

#

but 2 to 4 no

swift tinsel
#

yeah the tts is a nice idea

slate lantern
#

COLL ECT BUFF

manic island
#

sub looking better for s3 than s2?

alpine wraith
#

kinda sameish but bosses look more welcoming

manic island
#

ah so slightly less painful to play in m+

#

also nearly 2/3 of the way through the xp and sub is STILL bugged OMEGAKEKW

#

hey just give aura buff

spice matrix
#

Are we saving coups for dances in between flag/blades or just sending those

sullen hare
#

pretty sure we're just sending

#

unless it's literally like a global away

spice matrix
#

Ty

alpine wraith
#

you may need to pool some energy/sht sometimes

#

to not miss the second coup

#

as in dont use the first one too soon and then in next 5 seconds not be able to build for next one

jaunty heath
#

Any rotational changes that are locked in in the current state? This season burned me out so hard I couldn’t be asked to open any informational source this whole ptr garf

swift tinsel
#

mostly the same

#

just storm between coup and 2nd coup in blades if you don't get a refund

alpine wraith
#

you use storm between coups

#

and outside dances maybe sometimes you need to pool after proccing coup

#

to be able to use the second one before the buff fades

swift tinsel
#

Im a vanish enthusiast for later ones if I end up using it in opener

shell willow
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
fluid moth
#

What is the recommended storm storm talent build? I’m guessing it’s only for m+?

left ledge
#

So yeah

lilac stag
#

So you enjoy more rng

left ledge
#

The main strength isn’t the rng

#

But sure

#

The current tier set doesn’t feel good when it procs and feels like shit when it doesn’t, then feels abysmal when you lose it on one single finisher outside of dance

swift tinsel
#

new one will have its own pain points if you don't get double hits in cooldowns

#

and can absolutely rng to the moon when you get a bunch

#

as far as I could tell during testing it's just a flat chance with no insurance/blp

left ledge
#

At least I’ll feel something when it procs

swift tinsel
#

hey there's still time for them to crater it like last tier

left ledge
swift tinsel
left ledge
#

S2 tier was actually criminal to do to us

swift tinsel
#

what can ya do

#

can shout into the void

left ledge
#

Play game or stop play game

#

Those are basically the options

swift tinsel
#

or play diff spec/class

left ledge
#

I’m token rogue

#

Unfortunately

void ocean
swift tinsel
left ledge
#

You know

#

I’d unironically take bp buffs

#

Buff bp

#

Just make it the strongest ability in the game

keen dome
#

Do it

plush roost
#

oh is it dooming hours already?

#

ngl playing sub on ptr last few days has felt perfectly fine when things start living long enough

swift tinsel
#

we'll be fine

#

not stellar, but the gameplay is mostly fine

left ledge
#

Ofc we’ll be fine

#

Because we don’t have a choice in the matter ICANT

keen dome
#

But they should buff BP again, anyway

left ledge
#

They really should

#

People here think I’m joking

keen dome
#

We're so close to comedy

left ledge
#

But I genuinely want to see BP become better than eviscerate

#

In ST

keen dome
#

I want to see how long it takes for it to be reverted. I am really interested.

#

And it'd be funny which is the best part

left ledge
#

Imagine going a whole season

#

Take a rasz style fight

#

“Don’t hit the adds guys”

#

black powder

#

Embrace the pad within us

keen dome
#

Well, we'd be hitting them with Evis anyway.

#

'Cos Flurry

swift tinsel
#

we're now ret paladins

left ledge
#

Nah I want flurry to be useless too

swift tinsel
#

but our bonk is a poof

keen dome
#

I do like that we glow purple for a moment when we BP.

left ledge
#

Isn’t that nice

#

Eviscerate doesn’t do that

slate marlin
#

can nf bugs be impactful if we only spam bp?

keen dome
#

Probably, somehow.

lilac stag
#

There are no bugs. It’s all in your head. kekw

keen dome
#

At least it's not a worm.

swift tinsel
#

nah he's busy running HHS

keen dome
#

Who, the worm?

swift tinsel
#

yeah its a Ratatouille situation

keen dome
#

Nah, the Worm would be doing a better job.

#

Reverse Ratatioulle.

I just want a raccoon hiding in my hat telling me everything to do for sub

delicate current
#

basic question but why do you want blades/trinket after the first backstab?

hazy breach
#

Premeditation already gives you full cp from the backstab

delicate current
#

Oh right, thank you!

steel zinc
#

Today Rogue Aura buff I talked to Ion no more dooming needed then

brittle plinth
#

Dooming implies a change.

celest mulch
#

@hazy breach s3 raid a sub or sin angle?

#

I don’t want to brain

vale pine
#

sin gets some baseline buffs, which means it will be better early on

#

looking at simulations, all 3 specs are very close with gear, so will depend on the boss timings

vestal escarp

i feel like dooming more now

We're a pure damage class with 3 specs what are the odds we aren't top of the charts. I think we'll be fine.

Havoc to feral to rogue

#

My brother

delicate current
#

🧎‍♂️

#

the hidden lore is that I've actually played more rogue than any other spec

#

just super casually when I first started playing

jaunty heath
#

I see, I just love to see it

delicate current
jaunty heath
#

I remember peak felhammer

#

Then I see you in feral

#

Now here

#

Its fate

delicate current
#

actually just following you around tbh

jaunty heath
delicate current
#

a better game hopefully

jaunty heath
#

Nah I found my home tbh fell in love with this janky ass fully bugged spec

#

Can’t say I had more fun in this game

jaunty heath
nova cairn
jaunty heath
nova cairn
#

ohh hahaha

jaunty heath
#

Im far off that

thorn yacht
#

how does sub feel these days? haven’t tried it since aberrus but i liked it then

jaunty heath
#

I‘m curious if in todays age any mmo will ever release and be successful again, like long term success

#

I swear if new world released in its current state it could’ve been a banger, the fumble is so real

alpine wraith
#

mmos were quite niche

#

they usually survive with like 5k to 10k people

jaunty heath
alpine wraith
#

wow and others are very rare to get so many people

jaunty heath
#

Idk if you saw current new world but it’s really fucking good, idk they released a game with actually no endgame content

alpine wraith
#

the lvl of investment needed is not going to happen

jaunty heath
#

They did get pressured by the fans tbf and probably by Amazon too

thorn yacht
#

people have been waiting for a “wow killer” for 20 years. i stopped holding my breath a long time ago

jaunty heath
#

Oh I’m not waiting for a wow killer tbh, I don’t think you can beat wow, even if wow dies at some point (unlikely) everything around it is just too big

alpine wraith
#

i mean even if the game is good or gets good it is not surely going to get the sales or money needed

jaunty heath
#

People have been playing the game for 20+ years

alpine wraith
#

and tbh mmos make a laughable amount of money vs gacha or mobile games

#

so investors just roll their eyes i guess if anyone pitchs an mmo for investment

jaunty heath
#

Oh ye mobile games fucking own any other game on the market

jaunty heath
#

To be fair even tripple A games can’t compete with mobile games and gacha

alpine wraith
#

also their players are just so ungrateful

#

here people will cry and bitch to pay 10$

#

there they riot because they cant spend more than 3000$ weekly

small crag
alpine wraith
#

i would welcome lots of cool sfx and mtx in wow

jaunty heath
#

Oh bro ye it’s crazy

slate marlin
#

the way i see it 13€ a month fir all the time i spend at wow is laughable

alpine wraith
#

if it meant they invested in the game

jaunty heath
#

I got a friend playing the fucking solo leveling game

alpine wraith
#

bro i spent like 15k in PoE

jaunty heath
#

He’s pretty well off

#

He spent like 50k ish

alpine wraith
#

even with playing 20 years of wow

#

i dont think it even gets to 10k

warm depot
#

LMFAO

jaunty heath
#

The solo leveling game is out for like what, a year now?

alpine wraith
#

and i bough several collectors editions

warm depot
#

dude the amount of money i spend on poe or gacha games

#

is crazy compared to wow

small crag
#

I spent way too much on diablo immortal, i know that.

warm depot
#

fuckin giga packs every league

#

fuck it man i need the hats

alpine wraith
#

yea thy just need to rip the bandaid and create shit people would spend money on

small crag
#

At least like $1k i bet

alpine wraith
#

i want a cool eviscerate

#

that sends velociraptors around

warm depot
#

thats how they give us kyveza sub

alpine wraith
#

yea man

warm depot
#

as the first spec cosmetic

jaunty heath
#

I mean the problem really is you can’t play those games without spending, don’t think that’s the case with Poe, but with gacha games

alpine wraith
#

ky veza sfx pack

#

15 $

warm depot
#

nah you can

alpine wraith
#

TAKE MY MONEY

warm depot
#

its just very predatory

small crag
jaunty heath
#

Said friend is in the #1 guild in that game or smth

warm depot
#

and very good marketing

jaunty heath
#

And if he doesn’t spend x amount monthly

#

He’s not good enough

alpine wraith
small crag
warm depot
#

i have friends that have spent legitimately

#

over 300k on summoners war over the years

#

granted they are like the top players that do the esports shit

#

but its just so mindblowing thats even a number to reach

jaunty heath
#

It’s insane, I don’t wanna know what the biggest wale in clash of clans spent

#

It has to be in the millions

small crag
#

Games like that are total p2w shouldn't even exist - but we still play em.

#

By we - I mean the general gaming community.

warm depot
#

summoners war is one of the most earningest games out there

jaunty heath
#

I stay away of gacha games for a treason

warm depot
#

and its over 10yrs old i think top spenders are more than clash of clans

jaunty heath
#

If I did start I’d fucking melt my money

small crag
#

As soon as I realized I needed an excel spreadsheet with a formula to calculate how much stuff costed in immortal - i quit playing it.

warm depot
#

i play a disgusting amount of gacha games

alpine wraith
#

i mean you dont even need to have p2w like PoE it has cool packs and mtx every x months

warm depot
#

i used to spend a lot but now its maybe 50 bucks a month across all of them

jaunty heath
alpine wraith
#

i would love if wow had a sfx pack every season

warm depot
alpine wraith
#

or ability vfx because transmogs are kinda something people want to get ingame

jaunty heath
#

Like it or not people would buy that shit in masses

swift tinsel
#

I’m thankful I’m way too poor to justify ever spending anywhere near that much in a game

warm depot
thorn yacht
#

i don’t count mobile/gacha gamers as part of the “gaming community”

warm depot
#

i take that with a grain of salt but i think theres some truth to it

warm depot
alpine wraith
#

i mean it can make sense but same as they are losing people every time

#

gotta get on with the times if you want to protect the investment

#

otherwise you get what we get

thorn yacht
#

there are a lot of them, but my point stands

alpine wraith
#

indian or chat gtp CS

jaunty heath
#

It’s the whole early access situation

alpine wraith
#

social accounts gotten to an agency

jaunty heath
#

Does it suck for us that have been playing

#

Ye

#

It’s dogshit

alpine wraith
#

that does not know english

jaunty heath
#

But everyone does it

#

And you need to keep up with said everyone

warm depot
#

yeah unfortunately

#

there are still some smaller studios that have morals

#

but man ai is just so penetrative its gross

small crag
#

It's not even AI that's a huge problem. It's like socially and mentally manipulative practices that exploit the "inner gambler" in gamers to milk them for every penny they have.

jaunty heath
#

I‘m very curious if housing will be the start of more shop inclusion

#

It’s like the perfect thing

#

To grab money

warm depot
small crag
warm depot
#

working on some games i know that to be the truth unfortunately, you cant really propose a new feature or product without being asked how you plan to make money off of it

jaunty heath
thorn yacht
#

i think there will always be those of us who won’t fall for the gacha and mtx bullshit, meaning there will always be a market for real games

jaunty heath
#

You forget the other 600 loot boxes that gave you shit

warm depot
#

the psychology behind mtx over the years has been so interesting to study

#

like the initial shock of horse armour to now

#

is just baffling

small crag
warm depot
#

oh it is

#

100%

#

even discounting lootboxes

small crag
#

oh yeah for sure

warm depot
#

like the last big game i worked on

#

didnt even have lootboxes

#

literally just cosmetics

#

and that was so insanely successful

#

and people kept asking for more

small crag
#

I mean I'd pay IRL money for some serious cosmetics in wow.

thorn yacht
#

i also think there’s a limit to the number of (psychologically vulnerable) people you can coax into being “whales”

small crag
warm depot
#

the strat is actually not to market to the whales from my experience

#

they come regardless if the product is good

jaunty heath
#

To be fair whales are people that really don’t care about the amount of money they spend

#

Those people have it

#

Deep

warm depot
#

yeah

jaunty heath
#

In their pockets

small crag
#

Yeah 100%

#

Like the Elon Musks, or etc

warm depot
#

no lol

small crag
#

He can drop $100,000 down a drain and not notice right

warm depot
#

its rich ppl from not north america

#

LMFAO

thorn yacht
#

lol

small crag
#

Oh yeah there's a ton of others too

thorn yacht
#

arab princes

jaunty heath
#

Asia is huge in whales

small crag
#

Abu Dabi, etc

#

yeah

hexed sluice
#

Had a whale in an old raiding guild of mine, man would spend insane amounts of money on w/e game was the game people in the group were playing that month.

warm depot
#

if you wanna know where the whales are

#

look at where allt he gacha games are developed

#

china/korea/japan

#

ROFL

jaunty heath
#

Lost ark HOLY

#

Such a good game tbh

#

But whaling there was insane Hahahah

hexed sluice
#

Apex Legends, Bought literally everything off the rip before even playing a match, didnt like it cause he hated BR's. Never played again

warm depot
#

yeah just absolutely mindblowing stuff

jaunty heath
#

I mean just look at tarisland (lol)
All of liquid was playing it because sponsored but they also spent a shitton because they had fun

#

Iirc max said he definitely spent more than the sponsoring was

warm depot
#

yeah lmfao

#

the game doesnt even have to be good

#

if its fun to the right people

#

and the cosmetics are good

small crag
#

I mean wow can technically be considered similar. I bought some (with gold) 10's to get an alt caught up, and the dude messaged me with a IRL $ list later. You can buy 8 19's for $800 in wow too.

warm depot
#

you got em

thorn yacht
#

you mean if you pay the right people to play it lol

small crag
#

Although it's obtainable solely through gameplay - so not the same really

jaunty heath
warm depot
#

i mean paying them sure but if you get the right person thats all you need right?

jaunty heath
#

They played loads of hours off stream

warm depot
#

you just target whoever is most likely to play your game dont need the gen pop to enjoy it

jaunty heath
#

I guess I would fall in that too, if I had my whole guild just enjoying that game like hell ye

#

Theres a nice ass sword?

#

Mine

warm depot
#

yeah poe is a great example

#

its a really good game

#

but a lot of people are turned off of it

#

because of the systems

#

but they dont give a fuck

#

they have the people that WILL play

#

and they will also pay for dumb mtx

thorn yacht
#

i’ve played poe since open beta and i’ve probably spent no more than 50 bucks on it

warm depot
#

then you have ppl like me and hacha whove spent like 15k lmfao

jaunty heath
#

Good for you! Honestly! But there’s people that like buying cosmetics a lot

warm depot
#

yeah

jaunty heath
#

Whole reason league exists

#

Is skins

warm depot
#

like no shame in spending or not you know

#

so long as its within your means

jaunty heath
#

Their esports writes red numbers afaik and it’s one of the biggest in the world

#

But guess what

#

Those esports events make people pld

small crag
#

I'm so ok with people spending money on games though - if they have the money.
It's when people max out a credit card or whatever to do it.

warm depot
#

the only thing i will ever shame ppl for is buying boosts in any game

jaunty heath
#

And buy the skins the teams have

#

Etc etc

warm depot
#

just be better 4head

thorn yacht
#

i’m not going to tell people how to spend their money, but i reserve the right to think they’re suckers lol

warm depot
#

yeah and thats fine

swift tinsel
#

Lol the guy I worked with long time ago who was paycheck to paycheck because he couldn’t stay away from Overwatch boxes

small crag
#

I mean it's hard to start up a fresh 580 ilvl alt and try to get him ready for next season though, without buying a boost in wow.

#

(with gold)

swift tinsel
#

Idk if your guild is active enough you can get loot funneled

swift tinsel
#

Depending on how ready for next season you’re expected to be

jaunty heath
#

It has been way harder in the past

warm depot
swift tinsel
#

^

small crag
swift tinsel
#

I’m in the same boat, if I needed it I just put a feeler in disc and boom

small crag
#

I consider 671 ready

warm depot
#

its a matter of if you want to do the keys or not and if you have people ready

small crag
#

I've never bought a key higher than anything i've already done that season though, you know.

#

on another toon

swift tinsel
#

Ours is a really social guild and people are usually running at least 10’s even now

warm depot
#

if youre a pug only player then its just up to you so eh

jaunty heath
#

Idk I feel like from 580 to around 660ish is insanely fast

#

So much random gear

warm depot
#

yeah even this late my guild always has people doing 12s or higher

swift tinsel
#

Only time I paid for clears was axe farming on alts in amirdrassil

#

And that was all gold

warm depot
#

idt ive ever paid for a clear

small crag
#

I mean I have 10's of hours invested in my own time too you know.

jaunty heath
swift tinsel
#

I was semi-goblin mode and they were like 125-150k for a h fyrakk kill

jaunty heath
#

I just wanted one

swift tinsel
#

So it was literal pennies

#

Same, never saw one lol

jaunty heath
#

Ofc my fucking ret got the first one

small crag
swift tinsel
warm depot
#

best part about playing rogue is you only ever had to farm the daggers 4head

jaunty heath
#

And then last week of the season my warr got it randomly

warm depot
#

god if they ever make legendary daggers again*

#

im sure the entire playerbase will riot

swift tinsel
#

Lmao probs

#

“Only seven people will ever get to use them!!”

warm depot
#

lmfao

#

that shit was so funny

jaunty heath
#

Remember when evokers got a legendary in s1 that they didn’t call a legendary but everybody knew it was one

#

And then got a real one in s2

#

Ye I remember

#

I will never forgive lizards

warm depot
#

truly

#

idk their design choices for legendaries

#

is so weird

#

why are some just drops like raeshelare

#

and why are some quests

swift tinsel
#

I miss seeing the emote text every four minutes

#

A twiumphant cwy

jaunty heath
#

To be fair the quest ones they reintroduced in df right, the ones before in SL were just drops

warm depot
#

rogue daggers were quest

jaunty heath
#

Idk if there was legendaries in bfa I didn’t play back then

warm depot
#

tarecgosa was quest

#

nah bfa had the cape

jaunty heath
warm depot
#

ongoing power mechanic

#

fair but the point still stands

#

they saw how awful quests were in cata

#

made them drops/borrowed power

#

then df they suddenly made them quests again?

swift tinsel
#

Fangs of the Father quest besides the collection steps were bangers

warm depot
#

lmfao

#

yeah the actual questline for fangs was dope

jaunty heath
#

I just don’t know why the axe quest was so fucking long

warm depot
#

and they still are dope ]

jaunty heath
#

I would’ve been fine with a quest

#

It’s cool gives flavor

#

But like

#

That thing took ages

swift tinsel
#

Tbh I’d be down if they gave us a Green Fire style thing for Shadow effects

#

Like legit as fuck effects

#

Obv still redo animations

#

Bc they’re stinky

warm depot
#

fuck that theres dev work there

swift tinsel
#

But to go even further beyond

warm depot
#

just sell them 4head

#

make more money

swift tinsel
#

Lmao based

#

Hey it would get more people playing rogue

So question since I'm not really too sure how to sim this. Got a 671 eye of kezan and a 658 Mechano Core Amp for M+. Is it worth using the Mechano Core over the Eye in M+ since the stacks seem a lil inconsistent

short radish
#

also that they are the only one that gets any attention from devs

is there any decent alternative to a mythic house of cards I can grab from the m+ dinar or am I just stuck with the heroic one

no alternative

am I like, completely boned going into next tier without it lol

chrome palm
#

no

#

theres two 1:30s from m+ you can get to replace your hoc

#

youd probably replace myth house with one of those too

delicate current
#

oh from next season?

#

okay sweet, ty

Yep, even at champion track probably.

tepid trellis
#

ontop of my wishlist is for blizzard to make coup not be able to refund cps through shadowcraft during the entire duration of the cast and just on the first hit or smth

alpine wraith
#

only first hit would be good

tepid trellis
#

having it proc 0.08 before global is over

#

IS NOT IT

alpine wraith
#

yea and also does not help coup is 1.2 secs

#

so it even jumpscares you

tepid trellis
#

the casts is 1 sec

#

or more like 0,9

#

but they really should only let the first count for it

#

so it functions like the other finishers

leaden prairie
#

What's with all the new shit being super clunky delayed

#

Is that a new design

tepid trellis
#

just them designing coup in a shit way

leaden prairie
#

Sounds like everything hero talent related

steel zinc
fathom adder
#

that simlist for 10.2 is bs or real? Probably no optimized sims/trinkets not used, just sceptical at first, ig i know that tuning is needed but yeah

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

its 1.2 still

leaden prairie
#

The damage is done 1s later tho

#

The last one

alpine wraith
#

yea you just get the cuck situation

leaden prairie
#

Me when ub proc 1 sec after my sinister strike garf_sit

steel zinc
#

Yeah because the spell coup is just DFA and DFA did they exact same thing.

tepid trellis
#

the individual hits are just coded like casts

#

so it all procs it

#

and its shit

tepid trellis
#

and it happened to me in like 2 out of 3 dances

alpine wraith
#

yea it is a classic

#

it just gets surprised

#

like oh wait it procced

#

wait

steel zinc
#

So the last hits of coup sometimes just hit outside dance dont get the damage benefit of dance right?

#

I knew that just wasnt sure

leaden prairie
#

I mean idk if it's relevant for sub

#

It's super annoying for outlaw tho

#

You are kinda expected to stop building once you proc

#

But the proc can be so delayed it's literally impossible to react to it

tepid trellis
#

just wastes stacks a bit when it happens or rather can

#

if its unfortunate timing

leaden prairie
#

Good design

graceful crown
#

get more haste :o

leaden prairie

for what
