protection

[red ferry]

so true kanga

[jagged gust]

I couldn't even tell you what half the professions even do these days

[red ferry]

alchemy is potions

[jagged gust]

Engineering makes goggles that no one uses or something?

[red ferry]

engineering is trinkets

or trinket effect items

blacksmithing is plate

[round pendant]

I mean. You can have linked systems without making them mandatory to engage with

But sure

[red ferry]

leatherworking is leather and mail

[proper roost]

ofc you can

that's just not the game wow chooses to be

just is what it is

[mighty valley]

housing has given them a pretty good crafting hook

people in my guild are going back to max previous expansion profs to make furniture and stuff

[jagged gust]

does housing have display cases or anything like that? I just want a place to put all my retired items

Blue Dragon Sinew just sitting in my bank for the past decade and a half

[mighty valley]

not yet but apparently displaying weapons and stuff is something they’re planning

[jagged gust]

well at least id have a place for all these useless legendaries so that sounds neat

[proper roost]

yeah idk, very skeptical housing goes anywhere

think it'll be one of those features they implement and then forget about after a patch cycle

[mighty valley]

I doubt that lol

[cerulean tusk]

Engi got pure 1stat wrist

Pretty neato

[red ferry]

What ability is giving me like

[jagged gust]

I guessas far as professions go thats about the only technical DPS gain I can think of

[red ferry]

ticking rage gen when i press it

is it my bleeds

[jagged gust]

are you specced into bleed rage talent?

also maybe ravager?

[jade hazel]

After seeing what people have done, the feedback, and the continuation of effort. Yeah sky’s the limit with housing. I think they’ll keep it as a high priority.

[proper roost]

I mean, thing is, Blizzard has tried with pure cosmetic rewards before (transmog is strangely absent from this rule, probably because you can show it off to other people)

people just kind of fall off it

[red ferry]

im specced into shield slam gives you more shield block

oh here it is

[jagged gust]

hr/itf aint the node in question

[red ferry]

bloodsurge

[proper roost]

like, a big reason MoP/WoD CMs faltered afterwards is because it was pure cosmetic rewards

[red ferry]

ohhh

ravager too

[proper roost]

they actually just regard those as a failure

[red ferry]

yeah so i go from like 0 rage gen to 100 with like zero real difference in buttons pressed

its probably ravager proc

[jagged gust]

I know imma be sad not farming all the fomo housing stuff from remix but I can't be assed to log in anymore

[red ferry]

are u gonna really be doing housing though bfr

[proper roost]

we shall see tho

I hope it works out for people! I just have very little faith in blizzard

Like

how many times have they gone "this is the big new xpac feature also we forgot about it after the first tier"

literally every time. literally every time they do this

[tribal wharf]

we have reforging this cool new thing

[red ferry]

bfa necklace

bfa cloak

tww ring

tww belt

tww cloak

[tribal wharf]

few years later oh no reforging sucks, lets remove it

[red ferry]

shadowlands covenant tree

shadowlands tower

[tribal wharf]

oh we have the bfa cloak and the SL cloak and the df cloak...........

[red ferry]

Mechagon trinket

@proper roost any more

[tribal wharf]

like, i think the biggest indicator that things dont get done

[jagged gust]

I don't think you know how many dozens of hours ive spent transmogging

[tribal wharf]

is there is like basically no green armors or weapon sets or blue to be crafted early on

[red ferry]

ok well then how come you dont have a dwarf mog for prot that looks good, uses gear that is still obtainable, and doesnt use more than 3 pieces from a single set

[tribal wharf]

for all slots cuz like, why do i have to go through pain of not having weapon or helmet or shoulders just because i am not lvl 87 instead of 88

[red ferry]

this took me like 3 minutes

and it looks good

[jagged gust]

say that like i dont have at least 30 up my sleeve

[red ferry]

my mog mogs your mog

[jagged gust]

for mechagnome, dwarf AND belf

Though frankly sometimes a full set works out rather nice

[red ferry]

too much

toooo much

[jagged gust]

classic mechagnome mog

[proper roost]

mechagnome

[red ferry]

^

[jagged gust]

hey, dps is dps

those R1s don't farm themselves

Pirate was a little low effort but he's so snazzy, but dual wielding birb? that's a GOAT with wings right there

[red ferry]

no weapons?

[mighty valley]

Housing is an entire separate non-combat game and it’s also got that show off factor that transmog has times a million

Plus this has been a billion times the technical/design lift of the usual expansion systems

[proper roost]

look, look

i don't see any point in getting into it

i'm just saying i have little faith

[mighty valley]

Idk it’s just serving a completely different type of player that’s not on these discords lol

[proper roost]

I understand everything you're saying

I just disagree

that's not something you can change peoples' minds on

[mighty valley]

fair enough

challenge mode rewards is just like. a completely unrelated comparison

[red ferry]

i mean kanga has a point

where did this go after s1

blizzard do be doin that

[mighty valley]

it’s

an item

with an intended lifespan of 1.5 seasons

like it did what they wanted it to do

[proper roost]

i honestly don't think it was an unrelated comparison

[red ferry]

see

kanga agrees

[proper roost]

CMs had a lot of work put into them

and the CM mounts, titles, and transmogs were not just advertised as fomo but also intentionally way higher quality

those were and always have been big show off items, more than just housing that you have no reason to actually visit on a day to day

will this cater more to the casuals - yes, but also, you have to consider like... if i'm a casual gamer who wants to decorate their animal crossing house

[red ferry]

moonguard has a lot of players

[proper roost]

uh, why am i doing it in wow exactly? like in those other games i have villagers who'll visit and interact and etc. you're in your house a lot. you're not in wow

you hang out in public spaces in wow, not your own little instanced house. like, there is an inherent flaw to the design

[jagged gust]

garrisons 2.0

[mighty valley]

there are huge numbers of wow players who like. never do m+, never raid. they just love being their little guy in this world

[jagged gust]

the death of capital city hubs

[proper roost]

Yes, but they like being their guy in public places, in an mmorpg

[red ferry]

i mean

i think we can all agree

[proper roost]

casuals are not like, unknowable slates

[red ferry]

the LITERAL only reason they did this

is because they want to be ffxiv so bad

i mean thats like

objective fact

there was zero other reason to do this

[proper roost]

Anyways, we're already on the same page for how it's implemented and that Blizzard has thus far both promised and delivered a large package. I think your disagreement is that you think this part is not understood

It's fully understood

We just disagree on what we think casuals want

[mighty valley]

yeah fair enough. the types of people I know who I think are representative players are going fucking bananas in housing and it’s not even fully out yet

[proper roost]

and yeah I don't really think casuals are like "just give em more instanced private shit." I really don't think that is the case, in terms of longevity for a feature. What do you do once your house is fully decorated

[mighty valley]

but obviously that’s not like Data

[proper roost]

Oh, I'm certain some people will enjoy it... for a time

[jagged gust]

Jobs Done

[proper roost]

But the promise is that this content is socially engaging for, I mean, "forever"

[jagged gust]

sit in house, add the new chair that gets released from the raid

[proper roost]

And the way it's set up is just not how it's gonna work. As shitty as it is, the FFXIV housing lottery is actually one of the ways that FFXIV housing actually continues to be relevant

in a social aspect

[red ferry]

oh

is that ffxiv housing apologia

gross

thought you were the woke friend kanga

[proper roost]

WoW not having that will actually just end up making it so there's no real reason to maintain interest in your plot after you're done

[red ferry]

shrug

[mighty valley]

i just think there’s a big enough intersection of animal crossing/sims type players who also have a long emotional attachment to warcraft

oh you’ve decorated your house? here comes a new idea for a house theme

[red ferry]

honestly

my question is

why is this a conversation to be had

what comes out of it

person a is right or person b is right and then nothing ever happens

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-duck-gif-1363576254939741235

[mighty valley]

social interaction between human beings is fun and enriching

[red ferry]

this conversation doesnt sound fun and whimsical

[proper roost]

i had a good time

[mighty valley]

im sorry ill leave until its time to talk about “what do i take from this vault” again

[red ferry]

wheres that jesus consent meme

[proper roost]

gottem

[red ferry]

"i consent"
"i consent"
"i dont"

did you forget to ask how khailby feels

[red ferry]

cant people sim that stuff

why do people ask about vaults

:icant:

[mighty valley]

I’m sorry if I took up space that could’ve been used for kanga roasting khailby

[proper roost]

💀

[red ferry]

kanga too busy roasting me when she could be listening to femtanyl

tragic

we can talk about this instead

[proper roost]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-the-cycle-frontier-the-cycle-frontier-hop-on-the-cycle-frontier-gif-26888181

[mighty valley]

it’s just choice anxiety and/or wanting to take a more fun-seeming option than what the robot is telling them

[proper roost]

also can't really sim a lot of vault decisions

but it's not like strangers will know about your raid availability and shit either so 🙈

[red ferry]

what

this is swag for reclears

[jagged gust]

are we dunking on Swordish again?

[red ferry]

yes

[jagged gust]

their guild just likes even numbers, gotta pad til they hit 499 wipes

[jade hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-the-fuck-up-shut-up-stop-talking-angry-snoop-dogg-gif-14608834

[red ferry]

swordish got to you

[frosty mango]

Whenever I end my work day

I come here

And I find khailby

[coarse bay]

Indeed

[frosty mango]

I have never seen khailby and Pepega in the same chat

Hmm.jpg

[coarse bay]

It happens, i think today

He has 2 monitors

[proper roost]

nah they're definitely not the same person

pepega is a lot more maliciously stupid

and like
less painfully desperate

[coarse bay]

That is definitely a way to put it

I can kinda see it although it sounds mean

[proper roost]

it's kind of worrying!

loneliness epidemic or w hatever

[frosty mango]

Protection warriors are a community of enjoyers

@red ferry what’s your take on smoked meats

[red ferry]

Fake smoke bad

Real smoked meat good

[red ferry]

Theres actually a subtle and nuanced difference between desperation and social ineptitude

[coarse bay]

Those are some big words

[red ferry]

not really

[coarse bay]

Im starting to think you arent a warrior

Warriors dont think, thats why u keep overthinking

[red ferry]

im going to sleep

how many mean comments from kanga will i wake up to

[coarse bay]

Hopefully none 🙏

[red ferry]

hopefully

[proper roost]

:)

[round pendant]

Y'all are strangely aggressive towards khailby

It's weird

[red ferry]

I dont think so

Its all memes

[round pendant]

[red ferry]

its all memes surely right

[proper roost]

[proper roost]

it could be worse

don't ask nimchip how mean i am in keys 😔

[red ferry]

Woah

If i get treated like nimchip does

And nimchip is goated

Then i too am goated…

[proper roost]

Uh

No

I've never been mean to nimchip he's a gamer

i'm mean to the shitty randos we had to carry all the time

[round pendant]

You should ask yourself why you're so angry

[proper roost]

i'm pretty chill, just ask nimchip

it's fun to roast randos in vc while hanging out with a friend u should try it

[round pendant]

If you're just saying it between yourselves that's not being mean to the person

[proper roost]

they call me the chillest to ever do it

[round pendant]

But generally I don't get a kick out of being mean to people who simply committed the crime of not knowing something

If they flame when they're in the wrong tho I'll bully em

[proper roost]

i mean they're wow players

pretty much every wow player is incapable of admitting fault

especially in a key

this ain't no court system. they're all guilty until proven innocent

[round pendant]

idk, I've had a shift in my mindset regarding this

I used to get annoyed at bad puggers, now I only get annoyed if they're toxic as well as bad

[coarse bay]

Yup

Ive become more understanding of people

Like ik i play too much

And expecting people to be as good as me in pugs is just a way to tilt or get annoyed

[proper roost]

i think you're drawing two unlinked parallels

you can roast people without being tilted or annoyed by them

it's easy actually

[round pendant]

Yeah I can't even bring myself to be that critical of them anymore

People don't know shit, big deal

I only laugh at them if it's some goofy mistake

[proper roost]

there are always goofy mistakes for those with the eyes to see

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-binoculars-glasses-spongebob-gif-11154687

[tribal wharf]

GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?

uh AURORA BOREALIS?

[round pendant]

I kinda find redditors posting dogshit uninformed takes way more infuriating

[proper roost]

that one is better if you just remember that at least half of them are 14 year olds larping

[coarse bay]

I think more of them are oldies

[proper roost]

you just have to remind yourself what you'd be doing right now if you were a teenager and in school atm. half your classmates would probably be making shit up in reddit posts

[round pendant]

All of reddit is a shithole of idiots larping as if they know what they're talking about

😔

[proper roost]

nah, there's legit a lot of kids just making things up. it's rly obvious when you look at some finance stuff

Like you'll get some kid ragebaiting about mortgages and then not actually know very basic terms

[coarse bay]

I was only talking about wow subreddit

[round pendant]

Once you yourself are informed in a topic and then go to the relevant subreddit you see how nobody knows what they're talking about

[proper roost]

If you read the wow subreddit then it's kind of like walking into a puddle and getting upset your shoes get wet imo

[tribal wharf]

visiting and browsing reddit is fine

[round pendant]

It applies there too, but yeah there's a bunch of boomers on there for sure

[tribal wharf]

posting is another

[proper roost]

the only people who post in the wow subreddit are the lowest common denominator by a lot

[coarse bay]

Ya i get boomer vibes reading there

[round pendant]

The casual oldies are kind of the same

[proper roost]

damn i'm kinda reflecting rn that the term "larper" has been kinda tarnished by zoomers

actual larpers are cool as hell, I couldn't shed the cringe enough to do it in full costume and shit.

[round pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/lightning-bolt-gif-10297555197318505984

[proper roost]

yeah just imagine being on the internet like that forever. i'd die

[red ferry]

Oh

i see

Very toxic

[proper roost]

there are random pictures of me throughout the internet from D&D events I've hosted but that's essentially just me sitting at a table

if it was like, me holding a wand and yelling fireball at people...

[red ferry]

You must play on ragnaros

[proper roost]

.... wait, that'd be sick as hell actually.........

[round pendant]

Never be ashamed for doing what you enjoy

(as long as it doesn't harm others, making them cringe doesn't count)

as I get older I kinda look back on cringey things a bit more fondly

[red ferry]

What if it harms my mental…

Kanga enjoys making my mental worse wtf….

[round pendant]

That is bad yes

[proper roost]

yeah

[red ferry]

ok

You heard yam kanga

You cant be irrationally mean anymore

Only rationally mean

like if i was racist or something

But i’m not

[round pendant]

lmao

[red ferry]

So you have no rational reasons

[round pendant]

relax lil gup

[proper roost]

fish

[red ferry]

Fish

[proper roost]

tbh the one thing that'll probably get me inspired to play again is that it's kinda fun to whip a tank into doing exactly as I want game kinda rules when you have like 8 tanks on call (not so fun when you have 0 tanks)

kind of one way tho, you dont really give a fuck about your healer when playing tank, mostly just want gamer dps

unfortunately everyone I know is fucking QUITTING because midnight sucks

[untold tangle]

Here’s a haiku version:

You heard Yam Kanga
I can’t be cruel blindly now
Only reasoned edge

[red ferry]

why did you ai generate a haiku for me

what did that add to the discussion

[proper roost]

[red ferry]

^

[untold tangle]

It felt poetic and I was bored

[red ferry]

Kanga

Bully this guy instead of me now

Im tank swapping

[proper roost]

cya

[red ferry]

Wait no

Whats the term

For switching aggro from main tank to offtank

In a raid

thats what i meant

[untold tangle]

Ehm

Taunt swapping?

[red ferry]

Idk

[round pendant]

yep same

[proper roost]

all we can do is pine for a time when we had time to play the game and also when it was good 😔

[red ferry]

remember that wow has the most players its had since wotlk btw

insane

Where do they come from

[proper roost]

Well, when two people love each other very much

that was a decent joke i think

[coarse bay]

Ha haha ha

[dusky canopy]

@val’kyr

To bad mobile sucks

🙄

[mighty valley]

this is the first time I've noticed they use a fake screenshot of a Mr Beast post to lure people in

[coarse bay]

Wow they seem to post in every class discord at the same time

[frosty mango]

I welcomed him and asked about his meat preferences

More warriors is always best

i coached him on how to play 👍

i MADE him

@lusty grotto did you play D4 paladin yet?

[jagged gust]

I wish I could like posts here, this made me laugh more than it should have

[proper roost]

disabling reacts in this server is so lame

[jade hazel]

it's not disabled

just for us it is

which i'm okay with

[jagged gust]

Someone make nimchips a mod so they can react for us

[proper roost]

it's disabled for all nonmods

which is the same as saying its disabled

[jagged pier]

I aint no mod

[proper roost]

[red ferry]

i dont think people putting weird porn emojis on messages and immediately removing them is comedy gold tbf

[proper roost]

If people do that in servers you're in you need to get better friends

and be in less unhinged places

[red ferry]

its the group chat with all the transgender ffxiv friends that i was invited to for some reason

idk

[proper roost]

See, I'm being nice. I am giving the benefit of the doubt about having friends

[red ferry]

I think im their dei

[red ferry]

Yeah i have plenty of friends

So many friends

I have the most friends obviously

[proper roost]

[red ferry]

I cant explain it but that dog looks fake

[proper roost]

That was mean.

Sorry.

I'm sure you got plenty of friends bud

[lofty warren]

Look I think I reacted to this message and Im not mod

[proper roost]

lurkers smh

[chilly brook]

honestly disabling reacts is dumb

[proper roost]

it's fine it's just personally annoying

[dusky canopy]

Likely just one less thing to monitor I get it

Would be nice to have though

[proper roost]

but yea def have had people like. spell out certain words in larger discs so i get it

[red ferry]

cough hammer of wrath

[proper roost]

my opinion is that that just allows me to see who to ban

but whatever

[red ferry]

who r u banning brown name

ur one of us

[proper roost]

damn you really said "brown name" with like, hate and malice in your heart

Are you okay

[red ferry]

No i smoked the evil grape ape

[lusty grotto]

i dont have D4

i dont really like ARPGs lol

[dusky canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/sxv-wtf-gif-23560064

[lusty grotto]

what Nimchip doesnt like:

• ARPGs
• Extraction Shooters
• Looter shooters like Borderlands

also i stink at RTS so i tend not to play them (despite loving Dota2)

tbf i did play d3

and it was fine

but the genre is just whatever

[dusky canopy]

I mean I just play it casually

Cinematic’s are outstanding

[lusty grotto]

yeah no, ive heard good things about it

im not saying its trash

its just not my cup of tea

[proper roost]

what games DO you like

[lusty grotto]

SHOOTERS

mmos

survivals

RPGs in general

so basically everything else

[dusky canopy]

if D4 has a good story, it might actually hook me

ngl

D3's story fucking sucked ass until the expansion... at least that one was decent

the reaper thing idk what its called

[proper roost]

spin up that valheim server y'all

[lusty grotto]

v rising

[dusky canopy]

V rising

[lusty grotto]

idk if we have a valheim stack, gotta check

its possible

but we're hooked on palworld since there's an update this week

[dusky canopy]

I never officially beat the last two bosses in v rising

So I have more to experience

[proper roost]

okay, v rising slaps

dude

the dracula fight is actually such cinema

IDK how the fuck they just designed the best arpg experience in this shit

[dusky canopy]

Actually so true

Sleeper game

[proper roost]

i am not into vampire shit and that game made me extremely into vampire shit for the time we played it

game is extremely good at making you feel like a vampire. man. it's so good

[lusty grotto]

im only into vampire shit if its good

like let the right one in good

or nosferatu

or the old vampire the masquerade games i guess

[proper roost]

nimchip what if

abiotic factor server

[lusty grotto]

so v rising is decent

and castlevania stuff

[proper roost]

if you have not played this, it's insanely good. like legit top 2-3 best survival crafting game i've ever played

well, actually, if specifically survival crafter genre, it's #1 and nothing else is even close

[lusty grotto]

i would have to check it out

[dusky canopy]

You see this guy!?

Two weeks ago we mention v rising

“Ahh yeah that’s a good game”

[proper roost]

it's got janky Half Life-esque graphics (intentionally)

[dusky canopy]

I say how cool it is today

“Ahh vampire shit isn’t my thing unless it’s really good”

[proper roost]

but it's really good

[dusky canopy]

Stg

[proper roost]

💀

[lusty grotto]

sir

[proper roost]

unironically tho i would be so down to abiotic factor

[dusky canopy]

😂

[proper roost]

game is incredible good

[lusty grotto]

v rising is good

[proper roost]

it is also on sale rn

!!

you just gotta give it a chance past the graphics

[lusty grotto]

oh yeah

[proper roost]

unless you really like half-life, in which case, you're dialed tf in

[lusty grotto]

speaking of vampire shit

i gotta watch Sinners

its on my backlog

goddamn i hate my backlog it keeps getting massive

[pallid quiver]

the very first thing i see when coming in is nimchip talking about his scat preferences

hate to see it

[lusty grotto]

good lord

what have i done

[pallid quiver]

listen, i don't judge for what you like, only where you indulge smh

[proper roost]

lmao

[lusty grotto]

do vampires even poo

i figure they just pee

[proper roost]

nimchip is never going to check out abiotic factor 😔

[pallid quiver]

i'm not actually a fan of most vampire stories

[lusty grotto]

blade is $$$ ngl

[pallid quiver]

They're very hit or miss, and most are miss to me

[proper roost]

not a monsterfucker

[lusty grotto]

i think the deepest vampire story besides the classics ive been into has been Castlevania lore

[pallid quiver]

castlevania stuff is peak, among those that hit

[lusty grotto]

i dont even care about that interview with the vampire universe or w/e

and by classics i obviously mean Dracula/Nosferatu

[proper roost]

anyway you should check out the game

it's rly good. cannot recommend it enough. legit giga sleeper hit

every single friend i have convinced to play it has agreed it is the best survival crafting game they've ever played

and I only had to hold a couple of them at gunpoint

[lusty grotto]

let me see

ok ok looks interesting

so its like cabin in the woods type of scenario

[proper roost]

It's sorta adjacent to SCP vibes

i mean, half-life, really. Like half life is the main touchstone and the game is not shy about it

[lusty grotto]

yeah

[proper roost]

but half life multiplayer + survival crafting elements

it's really cool tbh

the multiplayer works really well too

ALSO
the level design goes CRAZY hard

its got really, really good level design. straight up dark souls 1 level design

[lusty grotto]

interesting

my brother has it wishlisted too

[proper roost]

It's good i insist we play it

frick palworld

we can run like 10 people on the server

[lusty grotto]

ill float it around the crew

[red ferry]

palworld is a good game

i think youll like it

[proper roost]

I only played it a bit at launch because it was on gamepass and i did not enjoy it personally

[red ferry]

it wasnt my thing for sure

but i dont go for the survival crafter genre

it is a pretty good game though like as far as someone who doesnt really like a game can say

[proper roost]

multiplayer may have made it better but it seemed fairly unbalanced and a big draw to Pokemon is like... I mean... the specific thing about pokemon

[red ferry]

like

valheim

wasnt for me

but it was a good game

[proper roost]

so pokemon with the branding scrubbed off is kinda not very enticing

[red ferry]

i think the biggest turn off was the ai and shit style

but like gameplay loop wise it seemed like a game the survival crafters would go for

and considering what nim says he doesnt like

id think he'd probably like a survival crafter idk though

ooh ooh speaking of games have you erver played dying light 1

i had a very good time with dying light 1

that game has multiplayer for 4 with mods to make it bigger

[proper roost]

game 2 spooky

[red ferry]

yeah im not big on horror games but the game was only really spooky at night time

[proper roost]

I think I kept trying to try Dying Light but how weak you start earlygame + how nighttime worked mechanically actually spooked me tf out

[red ferry]

yeah no nighttime is like

terrifying

but it gets really good and i think overall the experience start to finish is worth doing at least once

it goes on sale for like 10 bucks often enough

[proper roost]

I am really bad with scary games tho I still haven't played past the start of Prey (even tho you get very op and the mimics are jokes later) because the walking shadow creatures spoop me

[red ferry]

for sure worth the price

yeah no i hate horror games

but like once you can KILL the scary things

it aint scary

[proper roost]

I've only been able to play these in multiplayer

Like Abiotic is actually surprisingly atmospheric and scary in a lot of places

But was not so bad with other people

[lusty grotto]

look at this massive chunker

palworld good

breeding is deep

[red ferry]

abiotic factor?

[lusty grotto]

and good end content

[red ferry]

i heard that game was big spooky

[jagged gust]

@pallid quiver He's doing it again 😭

[lusty grotto]

[jagged gust]

But who am I to judge, I browse reddit

[lusty grotto]

[proper roost]

Abiotic is more atmospheric than truly scary I think

but being multiplayer really dampens all of that

[lusty grotto]

enshrouded update was great too btw

the water thing is pretty fucking great

that engine is so good

and its made by them

i havent played donkey kong bananza, but voxels with water physics are so satisfying

[red ferry]

would you recomend abiotic as a solo game

@proper roost

[proper roost]

Yeah but not if scared easily

My solo playthrough is stuck at like 20% because a specific area for progression scares the bejebus out of me even tho i've finished the game like thrice now in MP 🙈

No joke I would play abiotic with you bud. AND I'll be nice. This is how much I like this game

[lusty grotto]

lmao

[red ferry]

ooh

ill think about it

[proper roost]

the game is so good

i've legit recommended it to like, 30 some people now

biggest abiotic factor stan

[halcyon shard]

Its a honest hustle

[lusty grotto]

even more unfortunate

[fierce mulch]

I'm a machinist at a factory

And i'm not Canadian

[coarse bay]

You machine chicken in the kfc factory?

[halcyon shard]

Yeah, working the fryers sure makes you a machinist at the kfc factory line

[fierce mulch]

[red ferry]

[halcyon shard]

Never escaping the allegations

[red ferry]

this is the craziest bit ive seen

and ive seen crazy bits

[fierce mulch]

[jagged gust]

yet

[halcyon shard]

I pull up to the drive thru and ask 'Yo, is MID working?' and they say 'Yeah, he is doing dishes.' and I ask 'Can my goat come out?' and they say 'No, he has just been washed'

[lusty grotto]

do canadian KFC managers say sorry to the chicken they serve?

[fierce mulch]

😐

[jagged gust]

they serve them one final poutine before heading to the great fryer in the sky

[halcyon shard]

To anyone uninitiated it does look like I am just randomly bullying this Canadian Man but the people in #pvp know

[fierce mulch]

prot chat we dont want them in pvp bro

[lusty grotto]

[halcyon shard]

Oh yeah fuck

[lusty grotto]

AS IT SHOULD BE

[coarse bay]

I am now pvp

[lusty grotto]

you dont know how many idiots ive told not to pvp as prot

[fierce mulch]

tanks need to be banned in rated pvp

[lofty warren]

Is prot op in pvp or something?

[lusty grotto]

agreed

[proper roost]

this contamination sucks

[jagged gust]

Kailbee has started the great migration

pvp and prot are starting to merge

[halcyon shard]

I come out once every half year to shitpost in another spec channel

[red ferry]

afro plays rpm

[fierce mulch]

forgotten role, often never played until someone finds a cheese build

[red ferry]

[fierce mulch]

[lusty grotto]

i swear to god...

[jagged gust]

[halcyon shard]

You kindly ask them to stand still

[fierce mulch]

warrior in pvp rn

[lofty warren]

Yes was wondering if pwar good in pvp like tanks were in s4 bfa with the 1 shot twighlight devs. Tanks are used in r-rbgs though for tank carrierers

[lusty grotto]

pepega is actually making an effort to troll

[coarse bay]

Tanks are just annoying in pvp

[fierce mulch]

^

Shadowlands tanks

[lofty warren]

How is it trolling tanks been used as flag carriers since before you were born

[coarse bay]

And you could remove the “in pvp” and it’ll remain true 🙂

[lusty grotto]

idk man, i was born before MMOs existed so...

[halcyon shard]

I gotta say, most people in #protection are in the Paladin discord, confirming the rumors that yall eat couch cushions

[lusty grotto]

ok hold on

now youre crossing a line

[red ferry]

HAMMER OF WRATH
TAKING ANYTHING THEY SAY SERIOUSLY

[jagged gust]

remember when we closed down our discord in solidarity with our pink brethren?

[red ferry]

[lusty grotto]

with the worst fucking garbage tank too

consecration gaming is for losers

[dense cradle]

guardian druid?

[lusty grotto]

no

what the fuck

[jagged gust]

@undone beacon confirm/deny?

[lofty warren]

Paladin tank is just a pink healer pretending to be a tank imo

[coarse bay]

Not even true for so long

Tbf

[undone beacon]

Guardian druids are fine, and looking giga in midnight

Anyone who says otherwise is a troll

[lusty grotto]

🤝

[proper roost]

didn't you play your prot pally for a while nimchip

💀

[fierce mulch]

i have ptsd from this in shadowlands

[dense cradle]

aww ye love my 12s of horse cc immunity

[proper roost]

oh wait no i think you played ret, not prot

[lusty grotto]

anyone that says guardians are the worst has not touched DotC at all

[jagged gust]

the rumours of chipadin have been greatly exaggerated

[lusty grotto]

chipadin has never been prot

EVEr

fuck that garbage spec

[fierce mulch]

bye prot chat im going back to pvp

[dense cradle]

prot still not as bad as ret

[lusty grotto]

👋

[lusty grotto]

trolling

[dense cradle]

i mean anytime i see male human paladin in my group

the urge to say something questionable rises

[lusty grotto]

sure, but thats not the class's fault

also s2 ret was fun as fuck with the banner-like hammers

[jagged gust]

horseshoe bald pattern male human paladin has to be the most goated spec in the game

[proper roost]

it is true that male human paladin is bad news. always the biggest ragers

[lusty grotto]

this is why chipadin is a belf

and chipadintwo is a dwarf

[dense cradle]

nah go dorf

[coarse bay]

Im ready for blizz to overcorrect ppal in midnight and see another pink season

[lusty grotto]

oh thats 100% gonna happen

[jagged gust]

a paladin meta? unheard of

[dense cradle]

name yourself towelliejr after you stand in a beam for 10seconds

[lusty grotto]

true

[dense cradle]

prot pal rsham metas just enable casters

[coarse bay]

Anything undertuned will end up broken, anything overtuned will be in the gutter, classic blizz

[dense cradle]

[jagged gust]

Just @ him til he carries you

[lusty grotto]

[dense cradle]

Yeah

i can use onslaught on non warriors now

[coarse bay]

I just wish they did legendaries, wouldve been cool

[dense cradle]

we still have armor restrictions

despite horseman set is cosmetic

[jagged gust]

imagine the shield neck in remix

[red ferry]

ok wait

why would u ever bother doing the Of the chosen dead set

on each class

when u can just buy it

from pythagoras

[lusty grotto]

its not hard

[red ferry]

yea but it means playingr more lemix

[dense cradle]

Idk find a random group to carry you

on each armor type

[red ferry]

oh joy now i have a shaman i sure will play this eventually

CLUELESS

[jagged gust]

farming bronze honestly takes more time id imagine

[proper roost]

why are you even playing legion remix if you don't enjoy actually doing it

[red ferry]

i do

i just dont want to play like

a dps

[lusty grotto]

same thing i asked the plunderstorm bitching people

[dense cradle]

Honestly my main goal of remix was to get felshatter

[red ferry]

whats that

[dense cradle]

the illusion

makes your weapon all fel green

[red ferry]

lemme see

hold on

i dont see it in the store

[dense cradle]

its from the valsharah meta

[coarse bay]

I already had most of what i want from legion from when it was live, but i got some mogs for classes ill never play and some ugly green mounts

[red ferry]

thank you

im going to do val now

[dense cradle]

yeah i have most obtainables that you already could get in legion

[proper roost]

once you learn to not care about wow's fomo shit, life becomes way better

[red ferry]

i dont care

its just nice to have

[dense cradle]

i just never got taesch because rng hates me

[red ferry]

more mogs = more freedom when mogging

[dense cradle]

and red scythe evaded me

[proper roost]

on the other hand, it also is a fast track to quitting the game entirely 🙈

[red ferry]

theyre guarunteed in lemix right now

[dense cradle]

yeah i meant in legion

[red ferry]

o

[lofty warren]

All I want to do is make my character permanently naked don't give me no mogs and don't change appearance when I get gear. Ty

[red ferry]

[dense cradle]

lmfao

me when i play male orc

[lusty grotto]

a noble request

i will ask John Blizzard about it

[dense cradle]

I literally just wear the gimp mask leather helm from icc

[proper roost]

🤨

[dense cradle]

we can save appearances in midnight

[lusty grotto]

i gotta redo my Chef Nimchip mog

[red ferry]

how cope is imagining theyll make race changes free in the near future

[lusty grotto]

cause i bought the thanksgiving shit and then havent logged into live since

[dense cradle]

yeah that aint happening

[coarse bay]

Full cope

[dense cradle]

just pick a race you like

[coarse bay]

Blizz likes $$$

[red ferry]

guh

but the meta shifts...

[proper roost]

Nimchip are you playing midnight

[dense cradle]

unless you on that copa shit that dwarf is mandatory

[proper roost]

I may have asked this before sry

I do not remember the answer tho

[lusty grotto]

yeah i will

i just wont preorder

[proper roost]

are you gonna quit if it sucks

[lusty grotto]

idk

[proper roost]

[lusty grotto]

im still trying to figure out if i plan on raiding

[red ferry]

i preordered but only because i didnt own tww and it was cheaper than buying tww

[proper roost]

if you don't raid that means more time for keys

pog

[dense cradle]

Me when people ask what my house looks like

and its just

a bed and a chair

[proper roost]

half the time we couldn't key when i tried to play in s1 and so i quit cuz i didn't have a tank or dps to queue with

[red ferry]

Kanga give mich your housing conspiracy theory

[lusty grotto]

sounds like a good house to me

[proper roost]

cuz you were raiding

lame af!

[coarse bay]

Im expecting to key less and raid more lol

[lusty grotto]

hey man raiding is good

[dense cradle]

if i ever put work into it im just going to make it obscenely annoying to get in and out of

[lusty grotto]

raiding is good, except when your guild literally implodes on the door boss

[dense cradle]

whats a door boss

[red ferry]

Boss before last boss

[coarse bay]

Guild killers

[dense cradle]

personality responsibility required?

[red ferry]

Its the door to the final boss

[dense cradle]

oh

[red ferry]

like uhhh

Carapace

[coarse bay]

The first hard boss with prog

[red ferry]

On nzoth

Kel thuzad was the worlds shittiest door boss

on sanctum

so free

[lusty grotto]

in this case, saladbar

[dense cradle]

kt was barely a boss

[jagged gust]

raiding fun, good raiders aren't fun, fun people are good, fun people aren't good at raiding

[lofty warren]

Stone legion generals before then got mega nerfed in castle nefarion

[dense cradle]

20 pull boss where you hold dicks with your friends singing kumbaya holding dps

for 1min

[coarse bay]

Good raiders are fun, mediocre raiders that think theyre the best arent fun

[dense cradle]

nice design

[lusty grotto]

its kinda wild but

[dense cradle]

my hot take is

i liked painsmith

[lusty grotto]

is that really a hot take

i think its universally loved

[jagged gust]

the best raids are heroic prog guilds

[lusty grotto]

by compentent players

[jagged gust]

I had a arcane mage who was consistently rank 1 on the healer parses

[lusty grotto]

sorry forgot to add that part

[mighty valley]

yeah i thought painsmith was generally seen as the high point of sanctum

[dense cradle]

fatescribe on farm

[red ferry]

god dude

fatescribe in sanctum on prog

was fun

oh wait are we talking sanctum

i hated sanctum it sucked

[mighty valley]

it's a shame the back four of sanctum was such a flop, there's a lot of good earlier in the raid

[red ferry]

the ONLY good boss was painsmith

and that was only because he was agonizingly hard prenerf

[mighty valley]

but you can't end really badly and be remembered well lol

[red ferry]

then they gutted him

[dense cradle]

I think syl if you cut p2

could have been ok

[red ferry]

the platforms?

i never did syl mythic

[dense cradle]

yes

[mighty valley]

sylvanas is a sick boss to one-shot blind on normal lol. every other version painful

[proper roost]

it's still crazy to me that blizz released so many long raids in SL

[mighty valley]

the chains

[red ferry]

yea

that

i mean trial of valor was a 3 boss raid

what happened to that

[dense cradle]

wasnt antorus 11

[mighty valley]

well get ready for midnight with the return of a three-raid tier

[mellow bridge]

sylv p1 except for cringe dmg stop was fine

p3 was pretty good

p2 was sooo bad

[red ferry]

do you actually have to use fucking skyriding in raids now

thats so weird

[mellow bridge]

sanctum of dmg stops

[proper roost]

sepulcher was "only" 11 bosses too, but like. idk. raid is long as shit and big

[mighty valley]

p3 was fun to prog in isolation but you had to slog through ten minutes every pull to get your reps in

[dense cradle]

CN wasnt bad imo

i acc hate xymox the most

idk why

[red ferry]

what

xymox was so chill

unless you had 2heads who died to doomblade

[mighty valley]

the bad memories of stone legion generals obliterated by sludge and denathrius being goated

[lusty grotto]

100%

[dense cradle]

bad memories of sludgefist

when linked to terrorist dhs

[red ferry]

i played paladin on stone legion generals

so

funny bubble

[lusty grotto]

LMAOOOO

[red ferry]

denathrius was an awesome fight

i didnt like the final like 10-5% though

[dense cradle]

besides the ghost lag

yeah
