toxic pewter

See I realized you guys and me are just different

Time to do 50 push ups to reach my ingame wow character physical shape

toxic pewter
#

I call it like I see it- brothers of mine getting carpal tunnel from haste. Players clicking a button to cheese mechanics. Going out of combat arbitrarily. These are all degenerate and I relish the day the nerfs come.

Ah yes. I love reading walls of text.

toxic pewter

Calling it "The End of the most Degenerate of all things: Haste"

narrow fog

Guess what

#

They added haste.

🙂

toxic pewter

SMH

drifting fable
toxic pewter
#

No thats the thing- I enjoy haste just like the next guy. But I realize, it is not healthy for the game or player. It is the single most degenerate thing about wow. I will see it removed.

We are all speed freaks

sweet summit
#

PRETTY SURE IT SAYS CLASSIC RIGHT THERE PHIL!!!!!!1

toxic pewter
#

I will set us free

dawn canyon
#

Shit man now everyone is gna think im dumb

dawn canyon

it was nice

mighty valley

conceding a point is a trap, part of his long game. don't let him trick you

toxic pewter
#

theres no tricks lol

drifting fable
#

lmao unironically might be right

toxic pewter
#

All I do is offer my opinion

spiral warren
#

So is this a actual stance or a elaborate troll

toxic pewter
#

yeah sometimes I get it wrong

spiral warren
drifting fable
#

elaborate troll for sure

toxic pewter
#

I am not a troll

#

I just have some opinions many disagree with

#

like removing haste, nerf few racials

#

thats about it really

dawn canyon
#

where is ur good take abt mythic raid and loot

solemn elk
#

So why is prot warrior bad?

dawn canyon
#

its not

sweet summit
#

prot good

#

prot owns

drifting fable

#

no tanks are bad

toxic pewter
#

Whoever says prot warr is bad is more wrong than even me

prot fuck good

Why does nobody want us then?

Everyone wants me

#

Play good, be polite and the world is yours

dawn canyon
#

😔

toxic pewter
#

play you own keys and run with friends

solemn elk
#

Yea but, that doesn’t change the fact that everyone thinks prot sucks

#

Is it due to previous seasons or?

drifting fable
#

for real tho prot is probably the hardest tank to play well so anyone who doesnt do that gives the spec a bad rap

dawn canyon
toxic pewter
#

Prot doesnt suck though? It is true many think that and that is due to prot warr being a very punishing tank.

dawn canyon
#

but they dont really know how prot plays

#

so they misrank it

toxic pewter
solemn elk
#

I don’t find it bad, just asking what’s your opinion regarding the community view of us, that’s all

toxic pewter
#

Truth is, currently by the end of the week, our keys are better quality than druid, paladin, and vdh

drifting fable
#

i mean it sucks that people dont understand the class but whaddya gonna do

sweet summit
#

we were in a rough spot in 9.0 and people still think we suck ass for no reason

drifting fable
#

thats true as well

toxic pewter
#

By the end of the week, based on subcreation for the last 2 weeks, we end the week in 3rd place behind bdk and brm

#

in terms of quality of keys based on the detailed statistical analysis for tanks

drifting fable
#

and thats part of the problem, everyone believes there are giant gaps between tank viability because of those lists when it just isnt true

strong forum
#

"detailed statistical analysis"

drifting fable
#

they are alot closer

toxic pewter
strong forum
#

No it just scrapes logs from people doing keys

toxic pewter
#

confidence intervals are a real thing

strong forum
#

And ranks them based on key level done

#

That's it

dawn canyon
toxic pewter
#

so now the 'numbers dont matter' all of a sudden

strong forum
#

I've told you that weeks ago

#

That subcreation literally just scrapes logs

#

And ranks them by key level done

#

The website even tells you that

toxic pewter
#

Right and based on those scrapes- comparatively with other tanks- our keys are 'better quality' than the 3 I listed (bear, pally, vdh)

#

at the end of the week

#

the numbers do matter

strong forum
#

No surprise there

#

Those 3 are all worse than pwar

toxic pewter
#

right

strong forum
#

Don't need a tierlist for that

toxic pewter
#

we are 3rd best tank atm

#

woot woot

hollow sun
#

I like playing underdog specs, if prot was meta it would be less satisfying to play tbh

solemn elk
#

How do you check that? @toxic pewter ?

lavish oracle
#

Kinda seems like it's BDK in S tier and the other 5 tanks in S-

drifting fable
#

pretty much

dawn canyon
#

Spec doesnt matter only the player

drifting fable
#

^

#

fotm andys can still be very shit

cobalt seal
lavish oracle
#

Well, okay, for content most players are doing, sure

drifting fable
#

these tiers dont matter for 99% of content

lavish oracle
#

DPS balance is pretty wack in keys, atm, though

dawn canyon
#

Yes

toxic pewter
#

It comes down the what does 'quality of keys' mean

#

I suppose timing keys, ratio of timed vs depletes, etc.

#

then subcreation creates a confidence interval

#

which can never be 100% correct, obviously

#

but according to that confidence interval, we generally are 3rd place by the end of the week, at least for the last 2 weeks or so

#

the confidence interval is one of humanities greatest discoveries, not without pitfalls, though. It can never been 100% accurate

narrow fog
#

amazing

#

😄

minor helm
#

“Discoveries”

#

Some dudes just made it up

vivid silo
#

I feel like I’m back at work pretending to pay attention to financial analysis or something

narrow fog
#

i am between 70 and 90% sure

#

BIG BRAIN TIME

minor helm
#

What does apb and confidence interval have in common

#

It’s all just made up

drifting fable
#

shit what if weve just been hallucinating apb

cobalt seal
#

We would be way better

#

Because it would mean

#

He wasnt real

sick sentinel
#

It's the little things that go a long way

#

Asked him how was he enjoying the game, "very much"

#

I just hope shadowlands doesn't ruin it to much for him

dawn canyon
#

Honestly if ur completely new SL isnt that bad

cobalt seal
#

People make SL like its bfa but worst

#

For no reason

sick sentinel
#

I'm just worried about the systems he'll have to go through

minor helm
#

SL is my only xpac and it’s been fine so far

drifting fable
#

worst thing was just the content drips

dawn canyon
#

If you just go through SL in the chronological order it's okay

#

Make them do Cove campaign korthia then zm

#

Even tho u can skip i wouldnt recommend it

toxic pewter
#

now you guys are knocking confidence intervals? for shame

hollow sun
#

the issue is that you need to do it on every alt you play

cobalt seal
#

Even then

#

SL systems are more than fine for alts

#

Lol

dawn canyon
#

S3 SL is good

#

Excellent affix great catchup

#

(shit raid)

I did torg on my enha yesterday and was fine

drifting fable
#

i still have fun with the abilities after all.

#

you can do some nutty shit in there

toxic pewter
#

truth is once SL ends, no one is ever going to any of these zones again for any meaningful reason

#

except transmog or some crap

#

there will be zero shadowlands nostaligia

drifting fable
#

mogs, mounts, pets

minor helm
#

So exactly the same thing as every other zone?

drifting fable
#

pretty much what everyone does oldee xpacs for

toxic pewter
#

all the shadowlands stuff is pretty garbo tho

drifting fable
#

ok

hollow sun

i will miss theater and sanguine depths, best dungeons

Or mop

Or wrath

toxic pewter
#

all those zones own

cobalt seal
#

Or cata

#

Give me 1 reason to go there

toxic pewter
#

they are all good zones that I enjoy

#

meanwhile shadowlands some disconnected awful zones

drifting fable
#

bastion and arden are two of the most aesthetically appealing zones in the entire game imo

#

and honestly i think revendreth is pretty sick. maldraxxus is the only eh for me

cobalt seal
toxic pewter
#

based on them sucking ass

cobalt seal
#

A guy that says haste should be removed?

minor helm
dawn canyon
#

Im still missing 3 Cove mounts so i go back to sl

minor helm
cobalt seal
toxic pewter
#

history will prove me right, you already know deep down, shadowlands zones are generally considered awful

#

oribos is the worst hub they ever made

minor helm
#

Why do you play wow?

cobalt seal
#

zandalar says hi

topaz field
#

i lost my mind somewhere in korthia grinding sockets seramore

toxic pewter
#

you guys acting like you keeping your hearth in oribos or something LOL

#

...yikes...

minor helm
#

That has nothing to do with what you’re talking about

cobalt seal
#

why would I keep it in oribos

topaz field
#

i have to agree oribos is the sudan of shadowlands

cobalt seal
#

when I can have it to cov

minor helm

minor helm
#

These goalposts do move

toxic pewter
#

nah I actually dislike oribos as a hub very much

#

it will go down as one of the worst hubs of all time

cobalt seal
#

we went from SL zones suck and noone is gonna go there

#

to Dalaran superior HS

#

impressive

toxic pewter
#

dont need a hearth for dal it has it own

cobalt seal
#

Only a Haste remover would do that

#

Okay

#

Garrison HS better than Dalaran HS

toxic pewter
#

my point is I am never returning to oribos

dawn canyon
#

If it's maxed

toxic pewter
#

and i getting flamed for that

drifting fable
#

you get flamed because you say dumb shit

toxic pewter
#

like what world do you live in where you actually want to return to oribos

toxic pewter

Lol

cobalt seal
#

Why do people go to zandalar?

#

why do people go to old dalaran

topaz field
#

zandalar for the dummies

cobalt seal

#

i will report soonish

cobalt seal
#

I didn't say it was good

topaz field

I still find it better than Zandalar

topaz field
#

holy fuck

#

im off my chair

i have to calm down

drifting fable
#

shattrath best city peepo

cobalt seal
#

If anyone without a brain thinks zandalar is better than oribos

#

they didn't play BFA

toxic pewter
#

truth is simple: tazavesh was meant to be the shadowlands hub then they scrapped it for crappy oribos last minute.

topaz field
#

how much did u like oribos before u get dungeon portals?

topaz field
#

was it cool to start flying in the morning and being able to start a key 6 hours later

cobalt seal
#

I literally don't care about oribos flying

#

Like I said

toxic pewter
#

right because you wont ever be returning

drifting fable
#

the flights from ori dont take that long youre being rediculous

cobalt seal
#

it's your problem for not being eng in all chars

toxic pewter
#

zero players will go back to oribos

topaz field

it will take 4 months at least

cobalt seal

Zandalar was terrible

by magnitudes

drifting fable

oh fuck i played ally i forgot about that shit in zand

Everything was so far apart

cobalt seal

sick sentinel
#

i can

cobalt seal
#

there is literally 0 reason to defend it

narrow fog
#

It looks cool

#

There, I defended it, because that's what real tanks do.

sick sentinel
#

i had zero issue at all getting to dungeon enterances very quickly in BFA

cobalt seal
#

you have now in SL?

sick sentinel
#

only way faster was i had the portals, literal that was it, i could go to any dungeon in 30 seconds

cobalt seal
sick sentinel
#

i mean, im not really making it up, lol, even flying from kul'tiras to mechagnome island manually wasn't THAT far

#

45 seconds

cobalt seal
#

Yes you are making it up lol

sick sentinel
#

engineer you had a zand and KT teleport, i used them every single day

blazing condor
#

It wasnt that bad imo in bfa

cobalt seal
#

Go from Zandalar to WM

#

in 45s

sick sentinel
#

put you in one of like 5 random places in zanda or KT

cobalt seal
#

I dare you

blazing condor
#

Take the boat

Auto run

cobalt seal

You take 45s to get to boat

Takes a min

cobalt seal

toxic pewter
cobalt seal
#

it's a alliance city

toxic pewter

cobalt seal

I don't like ally so boralus sucks

toxic pewter
#

Boralus is a successful hub

narrow fog
toxic pewter
#

Good design, nice spacing and layout

sick sentinel
#

watc this im hord and i'll tell u how long it takes me to get to WCM

toxic pewter
#

I agree zandalar layout sucks ass

narrow fog
#

Alliance > Horde

toxic pewter
#

Yeah alliance actually better

minor helm
cobalt seal
#

getting to boat also counts

toxic pewter
#

Wish tazavesh was the hub like they originally planned

#

That would of been dope

minor helm
#

Where did they say that’s what they planned?

#

Did you make that up too?

drifting fable
#

gut feeling probably

minor helm
toxic pewter
#

Nah it’s widely known

#

They changed shadowlands entire story and arcs 6 months before release

minor helm
#

Real and true

#

Very real and true actually

toxic pewter
#

Then they rushjobbed most stuff

drifting fable
#

its true, his cousin works for blizzard

sick sentinel
#

took me 2 minutes 20 seconds including load screens to get from dazar to WCM

urban portal
#

So does my uncle

sick sentinel
#

and having to look up toy

urban portal
#

I must be apbs nephew

toxic pewter
#

The proof is in the pudding to be honest

toxic pewter
#

Just look at shadowlands and all of the stories or lack thereof

#

So many side stories abandoned

sick sentinel
#

i got a bad spawn point from the toy

#

its RNG lol

cobalt seal
#

LOOOOL

minor helm
#

Imagine looking at the story

cobalt seal
#

I'm done with you

#

who said to use toy?

urban portal
#

Again I don’t mind long flys

#

As long as it’s automatic

#

Nw and spires is cringe

topaz field
#

especially if u get to a place so beautiful like WCM

urban portal
#

But halls and sd is based

sick sentinel
#

im in KT now, so im gunna try this again, and im gunna attempt to go to uh.... snek dungeon

#

i'll see how long

mighty valley
#

"shadowlands was rushed"
"time between patches was way too long"

toxic pewter
#

The time between patches long is not because of shadowlands story. It’s because it was abandoned to work on Dragonflight

drifting fable
#

oh right

mighty valley
#

oh, more info from uncle blizzard

toxic pewter
#

Shadowlands is notoriously known as a botched xpac even at blizzard

#

It’s not secret

This guys got more insider info from blizzard than the people investigating them

Despite opinions or whatever levels of cope people are taking

#

the game speaks for itself

#

If you are enjoying it then I see no harm, But the current trend isnt looking good

cobalt seal
#

what trend?

#

that the game got better way faster than previous expansions?

#

Or people forgot when legion got fixed?

sick sentinel
#

they can fix the wings and the hearthstone

#

im not impressed with them for epic at all

strong forum
#

The trend of releasing expacs heavily bugged and don't work with the feedback given until the mess has already been made

#

And it taking 1-2 years to fix the things mentioned already in alpha/beta

sick sentinel
fallow osprey
#

The x.3 part of the expansion is so much more enjoyable that the x.0 part

cobalt seal
#

that's a feature of wow

sick sentinel
#

I want whatever ur smoking cromation

cobalt seal
#

tell me 1 expansion

#

that started without those trends

sick sentinel

I couldn't tell you, But that wasn't my point

Why are you overlooking the obvious

cobalt seal

because the trend

is since like wrath

Expecting garbage and playing it

12 years?

Dragonflight will be different though

If you think people cared to leave the game

they would

Well they have been

those who stay know wtf they have to deal with

shit 1 year

and a okay 2nd year

sick sentinel

Ok

#

So what's wrong with wanting something better

#

and not repeating the cycle

#

Even with a community that actively tries to engage with the company to improve the game

#

But ultimatley falls on deaf ears

cobalt seal
#

if we go by trends, SL shouldn't have been "fixed" in 9.1

and most of its major stuff were fixed there

some people are extreme doomers for sure

sick sentinel

For me, BfA had better story telling related to dungeons, there was less rng involved, no target cap so you could pull big, big numbers = fun = fun detected = target cap

fallow osprey

Ya I guess I’m just curious what separates a good dungeon from a bad dungeon. And everyone has their personal opinions but there does seem to be certain ones that are unpopular

everyone else is so jaded to play the very game we all love so much

chrome falcon
#

they need to remove all RP from dungeons

#

m+ that is

#

it's fucking insane that a dungeon with a 31 minute timer is actually more like 29:30 because you have to afk listen to the same shit dialogue for over a minute

cinder storm

SoA, you run from point a to point b all excited and then, you have to wait 10-15s for an angel to teleport you

that just kills the mood

RP in SOA is annoying for sure

cinder storm

BfA had no long RPs? Bolarus last boss maybe, KR boss spawning, but nothing annoying as far as I can recall

drifting fable
#

yea you know its bad on streets when youre doing things to actively minimize RP

#

RP is a goddamn crime for banner

mighty valley
#

target cap does feel arbitrary but when every dungeon starts boiling down to "pull enormous and kite" it gets really samey

#

i swear if you assembled a council of loud angry wow players, every boss would be patchwerk and no trash would do anything besides autoattack

drifting fable
#

haha youre not wrong. i just wanna see a big number gladge

cobalt seal
#

low mob dungeons

toxic pewter
#

the problem with targest cap is they seem to apply it so arbitrarily

#

like every week the cap changes for different specs it seems

shell shale
#

Not really. But they definitely didn't balance it right

mighty valley
#

it's an attempt to give classes niche powers but players just don't play that way

#

like, they can't really make the perfect outlaw rogue dungeon where you're always pulling 5-8 enemies or whatever

cobalt seal
#

also people think of target cap, because of how broken destro/surv are

shell shale
#

I think the main problem is the stats blizzard looks at when balancing shit. I don't know what they look at. But they are either looking at some shitty spreads of data or don't understand why the data is the way it is.

mighty valley
#

eh, they care about a different set of players than ultra top end engaged players too

King's on her, friend

necrotic shouldnt make you kite. if anything it's making you charge weave more since you dropping stakcs from time to time

The cosmic core

I have to hold all big cooldowns and sometimes it will destroy me even through shieldwall or fleshcraft

undone verge
nova rover
#

heroic

forest fern
#

Shildwall the big hit when the core dies, while you’re leading up to it dying spell reflect to limit the dot lowering you total health

#

Make sure you only have 1 stack of it also which timing wise with your off tank should be anyway

nova rover
#

some explosions of it Im fine with fleshcraft or shieldwall, but sometimes it will own my face and not let me survive enough

forest fern
#

Then blame your healers

#

You require with cool-downs to be above 60% health

#

If you don’t have that it will still kill through cd’s etc. even burn a health pot etc to ensure you are that healthy when the core starts it’s death animation etc

#

also as a warrior with anger management as long as you keep they same orb in each of those phases SW should always be ready again

nova rover
#

yea thank you, Ill try and time spell reflect a bit more

#

Im always like 4 or 5 secs off

undone verge

that way you have the 50% reduction for SW, the 20% for fleshcraft, and at that point the 400k is down to 120k and by then its pretty managable

Then learn on what can you reflect. There are some pulls where you can shockwave all the mobs so they start casting all at the same time, and you can reflect all the casts with a single reflect
