bright kraken

wheat jay
#

I have never in my life talentted into it

#

i refuse

bright kraken
#

wheat jay

/afk

bright kraken
# wheat jay 2nd sef?

Both the second lineup but also I see a lot of monks press SEF immediately after the first ends

wheat jay
#

ye

#

so, most burst is done lol

#

sef is 20% more dmg only

bright kraken
wheat jay
#

its not 3x damage xD

bright kraken
wheat jay
#

ye

#

sef increases generation of chi

#

to do more dmg

#

and lowers cd of big hitters

#

so

#

you

#

kite

#

or wall

#

or hide

#

root works on clones

#

scatter FoF

bright kraken
#

Why did they remove serenity

wheat jay
#

cuz they're dumb

#

no clue

bright kraken
#

Oh also did you see the new survival tier set next patch

wheat jay
#

slicing winds is big dmg, you can feign that most often

wheat jay
#

i saw dh getting like 50% more dmg in meta keks

lavish quest
bright kraken
# wheat jay nop

Beasts give random stat proc and do more damage. 25% chance for nuke

Lunar Storm makes 2 bombs do 60% increased damage after it ends and gives sentinel stacks. Sentinel does more damage.

#

I've heard the pack leader one is really strong

wheat jay
#

wack

#

boring

#

miss me with that shit

#

shoo

#

away

bright kraken
#

I'm lowkey curious if there's a shit niche comp like SV/DK

wheat jay
#

its a decent comp lol

#

at least was

bright kraken
wheat jay
#

niche is the word

bright kraken
#

TBF fdk would be better with literally any other spec huh

wheat jay
#

there's one guy playing fistweaver/deva/survi

#

for like 5 patches now

#

hiddenstalke

#

#2 survi

bright kraken
#

Wtf is SV/FDK

wheat jay
#

sv/fdk

bright kraken
#

Sentinel doesn't even beat out PL in sustained ST 😭

#

Well TBF sentinel is better for burst

#

Technically

#

I doubt that CA+Lunar Storm+boosted bomb+Flank/FOTE would really make a dent

wheat jay
#

i have no idea

#

i literally dont play this game

bright kraken
#

What's it callled

#

Chrono odyssey?

bright kraken
#

Homo odyssey

wheat jay
#

and i had 0 time to even try it lol

fickle forge
#

Win to not lose points

urban skiff
#

Survival or bm

#

About to buy my shit and lock in tonight

fierce elm
urban skiff
#

You decline every time i try to give you gold

fierce elm
#

Oh I meant irl

#

I got stuff for sale

#

I gotta sell my two guitars to get another guitar but the music store aint calling back

fickle forge
#

Show your zerchers are at least there

urban skiff

#

Am I wrong in assuming surfvival will be easier than sub and enh?

#

Speculation that we get shaman tanks but they'll be void based.

cosmic field
#

to me that seems harder than sub rogue idk. Also icy veins so probably not completely correct

urban skiff
#

Actually survival and BM guides are both written by the same guy so

copper fox
wheat jay
#

Those two

#

Enjoy

urban skiff
#

I've already watched them

copper fox
#

Otherwise you gotta add a ton of spells for rogue too if it’s not just dps

wheat jay
#

Good

urban skiff
#

or skimmed at least

wheat jay
#

Go play

urban skiff
#

Bicmex guide is actually what inspired me to go into detail about how skills actually function

chilly pivot
#

Coloss or slayer in 3s as ret war comp? Feels like more r1 players go for coloss build more games overall ?

urban skiff

As long as it's not written by Mysticall

urban skiff
#

idk who this is

#

but he's shadowlands s2 gladiator so he can't be good lol

fickle forge
#

Shuffle has deteriorated people

urban skiff
#

sorry that's the wrong tab

#

feels like he's famous

cosmic field
#

1/10 names

#

crocodildos ok maybe

urban skiff
#

Italian brainrot makes me want to burn down the house

fickle forge
#

How is crocodildo not force changed

cosmic field
#

its a real animal

urban skiff
#

no reports

fickle forge
#

Yedolfyitler

#

Hello Blizzard?

urban skiff
#

I get my rating back if I report his account and he gets banned right?

urban skiff

???

wheat jay
#

And im amazing

urban skiff
fickle forge
#

I used to think Artji was pretty boosted

urban skiff
#

season rigged against me

fickle forge
#

But you see a new side of the world when you heal shuffles

wheat jay
#

Funny how we pushed with kargish for one glad, but almost every season we played at glad mmr for fun lmao

#

They dont make those glads like they used to i guess keks

urban skiff
#

but i'm still wearing half green straight from AH, not even honor gear so that's a good reason why

fickle forge
#

I mean Artji will at least excuse himself by saying he was spamming turtle

#

2.3k cr hunters complain about no BoP when I am in trap and they got turtle

urban skiff
#

If I can't fact check that they were indeed in cc I iwon't feel bad when I spam "HEALLL????"

fickle forge
#

Or like mages that hit block when my CC has 0.00001 sec left and I come out to lay

#

Like I don't get people

wheat jay
#

Some call me god, others call me dogshit

#

Rng, 50/50 chance to roll one of the above

cosmic field
#

perspective I guess, without comms something that seems obvious might not be

fickle forge
wheat jay
#

Oh i play worse with comms keks

fickle forge
#

It's how @elfin surge met his wife

wheat jay
#

We split hoes 50/50

fickle forge
#

Deal brother

fickle forge
#

Your healer in trap, no trinket and they pop CDs

fickle forge
#

Should you trade a defensive?

cosmic field
#

i just go off vibes tbh

#

too much logic

urban skiff
fickle forge
#

Ye, the game demanded 20 of your cr for your gameplay

wheat jay
#

On survi you either use defensives or you're gone

#

Instantly lmao

cosmic field
#

im playing sin rogue atm so hunters are still just gone... so satisfying watching them bleed through turtle

urban skiff
fickle forge
#

But you can't bro

#

Lmao

urban skiff
#

I only pop defensives after 3 minutes in

#

Anything below that creates weak healers

cosmic field
#

save defensives for dampening right

urban skiff
#

85% damp or just quit

wheat jay
fickle forge
#

Got stun trap in opener yd

#

Arms warr gets HoJ'd

urban skiff
fickle forge
#

Does he trinket parry?

#

Nah

urban skiff
#

ASk anyone, I never stop

chilly pivot
#

lavish quest
#

chilly pivot
#

lavish quest
#

#

Don't even pvp for like 2 months now

chilly pivot
#

fierce elm
#

chilly pivot
#

robust hearth

robust hearth
chilly pivot
robust hearth

Void demon hunter with a scythe

fierce elm

having 2 options sounds less boring than having 1

fickle forge
#

Dead game

copper fox
#

Everyone make sure to do your midsummer achievements

lavish quest
#

They add something new to it?

rancid granite
#

tons of neat toys

#

idk whats new tho

lavish quest
#

Well I farmed up everything off the vendor as of a few years back. I haven't checked to see if there's new stuff yet or not

worldly oriole
#

midsummer temp is high irl

rancid granite
#

it's all about the greedy emissary event in a week anyway

worldly oriole
#

ya diablo event is sick

#

i cbf with half this stuff anymore

lavish quest
#

Been decent here. Turned ac on finally last week

fickle forge
#

We need to delete shuffle and blitz

sharp meteor
#

dmg is done no going back

#

game died so people could sit 42 min queues

jovial torrent
#

delete 3v3 SweatPopcorn

sharp meteor
#

alrady deleted for most people

#

why play 3s if u cant get glad

jovial torrent
#

pretty much, i actually havent played a single 3's game this expac

sharp meteor
#

and glad is like 1k + asbur an hes friend et al

jovial torrent
#

if the mount was really cool i might have, but im sure after a few hours in lfg i would have lost it

sharp meteor
#

the bat is so rancid

jovial torrent
#

season 2 should have given recolours of the rick reverb mount or somthing for 3v3 and shuffle, and season 1 whatever the big bug mount was called

sharp meteor
#

friend wanted to q some retwarr and we had no healers on

#

so sat in lfg for like

#

25 mins

#

not a single healer app

jovial torrent
#

im still tilted from WoD lfg where i spent like 2 hours in the tool to play like 4 games have someone rage quit and be back in the tool

sharp meteor
#

ya i remember alliance bfa was like

#

tryna get a few games on 2300 alt or som

#

and grabbing a literal 1800 healer

#

after an hour

#

probs just wouldnt 3s if i didnt know like a dozen healers

jovial torrent
#

i really need to get around to leveling a resto druid for mop arena

#

got 2 ppl i know who will play dk and disc priest so will try war with them but they are more m+ players than pvp'ers

worldly oriole
#

we need legion remix

lavish quest
#

3s was ded before shuffle and blitz

#

Just less dead

sharp meteor
#

not really lol

#

only fell off in eternal cos rehashed + wotlk deflation

#

s1-3 shadowlands went lil crazy

worldly oriole
#

slands pve grind was just too cray

lavish quest
#

Well by the pvp norm, sure maybe it was poppin (tho part was them incentiving pvers to do it) but in general... rough

#

Pvp been small forever

worldly oriole
#

i got the s1 mount early af

#

then quit cuz our healer quit

#

and we shoulda got r1 s4 bfa but we barely played smh

#

finding teammates is just a project

sharp meteor
#

unchained went the most crazy

#

cosmic also super crazy

#

eternal deadge cos no new rewards and wotlk

#

all the dragonflight seasons fairly standard

#

bfa was kind of deadge in the middle tho esp on alli

urban skiff
fickle forge
#

Got an assassa rogue who would do a go and then hige pillar for 30 sec

#

Got him again when I Q'd blitz, turns out he was playing it like he was ninja capping a base

lavish quest
#

I quit after that so was big ded to me kek

sharp meteor
#

ya and that wasnt even the craziest season

#

so when people say arena was dead before shuff its like aight when

#

cos it wasnt the two years prior

lavish quest
#

Idk, people complained about arena/3s participation for a decade before shuff

#

🤷‍♂️

sharp meteor
#

if u made a venn diagram of people who complained about 3s queues and people who'd get a team and leave after the first loss u would have a circle

#

also everybody takes their exp and adds 500 and wont play with anybody lower

#

so nobody ends up playing

lavish quest
sharp meteor
#

ya everybody got their corruptd or unchained glad by accident because it was top 15k players

lavish quest
#

30 people had teams so clearly 3s was popping, isn't the best argument

sharp meteor
#

now they wont play again

lavish quest
#

I mean overall, people had a hard time with playing 3s, for long long before shuffle.
I'm just really saying deleting the solo queue modes isn't the magic solution

#

If anything that's an execution to pvp

sharp meteor
#

ye no going back

#

i just think shuff further damaged pvp cos like

#

why meet people or setup queues

#

if u play shuffle for few hours for elite sets

#

cos people with btags left affected than those who lfgin

copper fox
#

Shuffle definitely damaged pvp

sharp meteor
#

also the waiting for inflation meta kind of stinks

#

healer is like yo q im like sure and he says he asked 8 people and they all keyin or chillin or shufflin

urban skiff
lavish quest
#

Wasn't anything to go back to

#

It was shiet before, it's shiet now.

sharp meteor
lavish quest
#

Hot take, solo queue actually improved pvp, because more people can actually get into it now

wheat jay
#

it casualized pvp

#

which is both good, and bad

sharp meteor
#

for a range of reasons

#

but cos everybody has some 2800 exp from shuff or inflated seas

#

warps perceptions

lavish quest
#

Yeah, people just don't like it's not uber sweat only for the real players coordination 3s

wheat jay
#

kennie enjoying getting boosted 👍

lavish quest
#

But clearly that wasn't workin

sharp meteor
#

and people dont like being glad one seas and spam losing 1900 the next

wheat jay
#

xd

sharp meteor
#

oh well rip 2s and 3s now everybody sits 50 minute queues to get their free elite achi

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

shuff participation already high healers just have no reason to participate in reject queue

#

anybody who cares gets 2400 insta for free so like

#

why would u willingly heal these things

#

for free

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

i mean regardless of who you queue with lookin at how you can tidy up your play always the best thing

worldly oriole
#

I honestly think mike israetel is the best fitness coach

sharp meteor
#

both for self improvement and social stuff

#

ive queued with people i could've gotten to glad and if they're flaming me or my friend perma its like huh

#

i could just

#

q with somebody else

worldly oriole
#

yeah i had a sick session with ele dh rdruid

urban skiff
#

A while ago i realized i've been focused on what i should have done to nor lose, and i swapped to looking at what i should have done to win.

worldly oriole
#

but the ele shit on the healer and the group disbanded lol

cosmic field
#

imagine making friends in an mmo lol

lavish quest
urban skiff
#

Idk, sounds like it's the same when i sound it out eight

sharp meteor
#

ya imagine talkin to people in an mmo instead of trying to play wow like league

sharp meteor
#

df glad was top 3000 or so

#

but it'd be like double or triple that

#

if everybody who shuffled spam queued 3s

#

like they did in sl

cosmic field
#

i'd queue 3s if i didn't have to mess around with lfg tbh

#

its miserable

sharp meteor
#

ya thats omst people i think myself included

#

r1 healer friend is like yo imma try ret lets lfg a healer

#

almost half hour with no healer

#

and our shuff qs popped

#

granted it was like late afternoon when ot a lot of people on but also weekend so

#

lfg just 3 boost adverts

cosmic field
#

yh healers in short supply

#

balance game around double dps easy

lavish quest
#

Now we thinkin

frank knoll
worldly oriole
#

yeah i kno a boomie to que with but suppoosedly we need a pres evoker

#

gl finding one

frank knoll
#

#

#

urban skiff
#

calling it now

rancid granite
fierce elm
#

ngl

sharp meteor
#

mythic mount is pretty c:

fierce elm
#

if the third DH spec does come out

#

and this is the meta shape

#

it might be the play

rancid granite
#

how do you normally get mythic mounts???

sharp meteor
#

yep everybody and their mom rerolls back to dh

fierce elm
#

You raid Mythic

#

and kill the final boss

sharp meteor
#

u raid ce

#

and kill last boss

#

xd

fierce elm
#

and 1 or 2 people get a mount

rancid granite
#

RNG?

#

oh shit

fierce elm
#

is it 1?

#

or is it 2?

sharp meteor
#

its like 3 people now

rancid granite
#

i was thinking achiev or something

#

damn

fierce elm
#

so 3 people

#

its 100% if you kill it during current content

sharp meteor
#

or buy it or wait a few years

rancid granite
#

its not time gated is it

fierce elm
#

after that it drops to below 1% again

rancid granite
#

ic

sharp meteor
#

drops to 1% on expac launch

#

er prepatch

#

so u can go get ansurek thing right now 100%

fierce elm
#

So you can get it

#

however, yeah

sharp meteor
#

sort of like how u can get gally mount next raid

fierce elm
#

Just become a Mythic CE raider

sharp meteor
#

they arent even that expensive only like 2m or 5m right now i think

rancid granite
#

k where's our raiding group ill tank for yall

fierce elm
#

lmfao

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

and ya raiding is good cos like

#

pvp is very backloaded

urban skiff
#

I did it for all of the game up until sometime in DF

sharp meteor
#

friend afkd for 4 months

#

came back to pvp yesterday

#

we queued for a few hours

#

he full gear

rancid granite
#

2m or 5m is like $500 in wow tokens

sharp meteor
fierce elm
#

Yeah 'wow tokens'

copper fox
#

ASTRAL WARLORD

urban skiff
#

How much to carry me to astral warlord?

fierce elm
#

Just do it on your own brother

urban skiff
#

i just want company

fierce elm
#

YOUR WIFE?

urban skiff
#

The time where we can both play together is better spent having oceans of fun in 2s

spice hornet
#

does report advertisement in lfg not even do anythign anymore? i keep seeing the same names the next day after report

urban skiff
#

of course it doesn't do anything

fierce elm
#

It doesn't do shit

#

Even if it gets removed its replaced within a second

fickle forge
#

@urban skiff

urban skiff
#

uh

fierce elm
#

blasted

#

get it

#

elemental blast

#

blasted

urban skiff
#

I keep meaning to use elemental blast but I also keep forgetting to spec into it

frank knoll
fierce elm
#

Holy fuck imagine how handicapped you would be as 2 people queueing 3s

#

into a full 3s team

#

2s is probs fine

lavish quest
sharp meteor
#

it's really not that big of a deal

lavish quest
#

Besides, you'd still have a lack of heals

fierce elm
#

Thats crazy, you did that in a mode that doesn't exist

#

holy

#

Tell me how you did it

#

that involved no lfg, no checking people, no inviting people

#

lmao

lavish quest
#

So wouldn't fix anything over ss

fierce elm
#

yeah it would still have the same issues as SS

#

Can't wait to get an Aug evoker

sharp meteor
#

flex would be fine just have the non premades be marginally higher mmr

lavish quest
#

Ss biggest issue is people don't wanna heal

sharp meteor
#

ya imagine healing those rejects for free

#

people who can't get a healer to consent to playing with them

fierce elm
#

Its crazy how the gamemode has one problem

frank knoll
sharp meteor
#

idk how anybody heals shuff if they arent gettin a title for it

fierce elm
lavish quest
lavish quest
frank knoll
#

There’s zero reason to heal in shuffle
I don’t know why anyone does it

sharp meteor
#

bored ig

fierce elm
#

So why would they ever want to duo-queue 3s into your reject ass when they can pick up w.e damage dealer from LFG

sharp meteor
#

treat it like a skirmish

fierce elm
#

Or why would they ever want to solo queue 3s as a healer

frank knoll
#

There was supposed to be like a title and some extra rewards but never made it live

fierce elm
#

So we are back to the original problem lmao

urban skiff
#

shuffle is the abusive relationship

sharp meteor
#

flex queue would be lot of healer dps duos

#

then u just slot in rando third

urban skiff
#

3s is for people in open relationships who swears they know what they're getting into but eventually someone gets their feelings hurt

sharp meteor
#

wish 2s had real rewards

fierce elm
#

Imagine you are a healer and a DPS wanting to play 3s. Either you can get a rando 3rd person that you can't check and can't decide what spec they are playing, or, you can pick that player from LFG within an instant.

urban skiff
fierce elm
#

Its a pretty clear choice

#

Just give out random recolors of the glad mount already to each different bracket who gives a shit anymore

sharp meteor
#

man so mans time i just wanna q blood with warr or ww in 3s and can never find somebody

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

and nah shuff doesnt deserve a mount

#

maybe for healers

fierce elm
#

Netiher does 2s then lmao

sharp meteor
#

nah 2s owns

copper fox
#

@urban skiff I can’t carry you to ASTRAL WARLORD because I’ll be carrying @spice hornet

fierce elm
#

In what world

sharp meteor
#

and isnt asocial reject bracket like shuff

urban skiff
copper fox
#

By 2s do you mean BM/MW bracket

fierce elm
#

lmfao

sharp meteor
#

buff 2s and 3s gut shuff

fierce elm
#

Its not about the RATING

urban skiff
fierce elm
#

Its about the fact that you get to pick your teammate

sharp meteor
#

shuff giving any of the generic rewards legit the worst decision they ever made

#

its like why would u mythic raid when a world quest gives the same gear

fierce elm
#

Gut Shuff and blitz, buff 3s

urban skiff
#

You'll rather pick an incompetent ideal spec than a competent potentially bad fit?

fierce elm
#

I would rather get to pick my poison than have it being forced on me yeah

sharp meteor
#

flex queue rly would be fine like i said just buff mmr of solos a bit

#

like if i duo or trio at 2100 we queue into 2300 solos

urban skiff
fierce elm
#

Oh trust me LFG is very surprising lmfao

#

Don't have to look far for a cute surprise

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

lfged a guy in df who had 1000 games at 2300 shuff and im like no and my monk goes "nono i can fix him"

fierce elm
#

Yeah

#

So yeah, the fix is just to buff healers and what they get in SS

sharp meteor
#

that guy was like the toy story aliens

#

in the claw machine

fierce elm
#

and railroad people into playing Healer because the rewards are so dank

sharp meteor
#

just 10 2k applicants and my monk is like

#

i think his name is funni :3

fierce elm
#

but they won't because it doesn't matter lmao

sharp meteor
#

and we spam queued to glad with him

fierce elm
#

Its also the fact that 3s is so fucking slow in terms of rating gain

sharp meteor
#

lfging and remaking every 3 games is what kills it i think

#

spend 5 hours in finder 40 mins playin

fierce elm
#

That and the rewards are just low

rancid granite
sharp meteor
#

2s has reasonable diversity when its played but like

#

right now its the 4fun bracket

#

so either q into real people bored playing their specs

rancid granite

having a blast with it

sharp meteor
#

or a 2k bm hunter rdruid/mw

#

in shadowlands it was like

#

coinflip 2k bm hunter who backpeddles

#

or get head smashed in by magnus

fierce elm
#

lmao

lavish quest
sharp meteor
#

course it do

fierce elm
#

Remove all brackets

sharp meteor
#

shuff is asocial low effort timesink mode

lavish quest
#

Why does 3s deserve a mount but the others don't?

#

What ass game design

sharp meteor
#

premade aspect big part

#

similar to keys raids

#

solo modes always gotta give worse stuff

#

they neglected this and it destroys social fabric of game

violet fossil
#

the 10 people that play 3s don’t wanna give u a mount

fierce elm
#

LFG m+ to the 3k mount without issue lmao

lavish quest
#

To serve people gatekeeping "we're sophisticated because we play the ded mode"

sharp meteor
fierce elm
#

Don't even have to be social

sharp meteor
#

feelin like the boomer here trying to say it's good to have incentives to group up and meet people

violet fossil
#

social is dead

sharp meteor
#

no it aint

violet fossil
#

:<

sharp meteor
#

just discouraged for a lot of people

fierce elm
#

I mean, the only aspect of that that remains is what, 3s and Mythic raiding?

#

and like high end m+

sharp meteor
#

ya

#

thats the issue im sayin

violet fossil
#

can’t even say hello to someone without getting reported

sharp meteor
#

like it sounds boomer but i rly think it makes the game worse for mostpeople

#

to not have to do anything

fierce elm
#

It does sound boomer

lavish quest
#

Not to mention how dumb it is from logic standpoint, that pretty much every pvp reward you can get wherever you want. But this one reward is specific to one mode of pvp because "oh, we're so much better than the others"

sharp meteor
#

cos im outside the cycle

#

i know enough people to never lfg

#

and i think the game is 10x more fun to sort of

fierce elm
#

Personally, give them a different color and it still has an incentive

sharp meteor
#

not languish in lfg

lavish quest
#

Mode is still ded

#

People ain't gonna do it

sharp meteor
#

did u miss everythin i said

fierce elm
#

the issue is that the world doesn't work that way anymore

sharp meteor
#

im sayin game more fun with regulars/friends and making solo give all the rewards aside from glad for free

#

removes the incentive for people to group

#

w/e idc doesnt affect me

fierce elm
#

Not if its a different reward

sharp meteor
#

i just think its bad for the game

fierce elm
#

lmao

lavish quest
#

"For free"

sharp meteor
#

here we go

fierce elm
#

I think we have to realize that 3s is a dying gamemode that isn't going to bounce back aslong as SS and Blitz exists

#

Blitz has taken a lot away from the other brackets along with SS

rancid granite
#

ppl be forgetting how to make friends

sharp meteor
#

add a mount to 2s tomorrow and shuffle dies instantly overnight

violet fossil
#

ah ah toes

fierce elm
#

Yeah no

sharp meteor
#

uh ya

#

i fear

fierce elm
#

Yeah no lmao

sharp meteor
#

anyways

fierce elm
#

Because its gonna have the same issue as 3s does, insanely slow grind, 2s as a bracket isn't balanced, having to face multi-glad multi r1s at like 2.2 mmr lmao

#

And we rinse and repeat

sharp meteor
#

nah more people playin props it up

#

sort of like how shuffle is 10x less popular when people are fighting for their life at 2100 rather than 2500

#

as we saw in verdant

robust hearth
lavish quest
#

If you want a mode to play with lfg and friends, go do m+

sharp meteor
#

add 500 free mmr and people have fun again simple as

fierce elm
#

I mean add 500 free mmr in 3s and we can solve that too lmao

sharp meteor
#

if shufflers played 3s it'd go up by 300-500 mmr actually ya

fierce elm
#

but they aint gonna do that

sharp meteor
#

we'd be backin sl where glad is top 10k

robust hearth
sharp meteor
#

ya crabs in the bucket

fierce elm
#

(The game should have never left % based rewards)

sharp meteor
#

at least all the shufflers made glad mounts rare again which is cool

lavish quest
robust hearth
#

Ironically 5v5s was more popular towards the casual crowd

lavish quest
#

So there is no, in they played 3s

sharp meteor
#

shadowlands glad bein like top 10k was lame

fierce elm
#

It should just be % based

sharp meteor
#

that wouldnt rly change much

robust hearth
#

Tht would make ppl even less likely to get glad

sharp meteor
#

as it has alreayd been like

#

top 2.5 to 4% for a few seasons

robust hearth
#

Very small pvp community

lavish quest
#

Who cares I'd the mount was top 10k?

robust hearth
#

Tf u think. 01% of the current pvp community looks like?

fierce elm
#

I mean 2440 rating right now in 3s is top 996

robust hearth
#

There would just be one gladiator

fierce elm
#

because thats how far back I can see on the website

robust hearth
#

Now if we were back i. The golden age

#

Where wow had over 10million players online 24/7 and pvp was still thriving

#

Then it make sense

fierce elm
#

Alright yeah thats fair enough

lavish quest
#

Like... where is the actual logic?

thinks glad should be 3s only
if all of ss went to 3s, glad would be too ez
make glad more rare
then less people queue anyways because if people can't feel like they can get there, they just gonna not bother

fierce elm
#

THE DAYS OF INTERACTING IS OVER

lavish quest
#

Exactly

sharp meteor
#

So glad I'm not doomed to be a shuffler.

fierce elm
#

lmao

lavish quest
#

Not to mention it was over before shuffle

sharp meteor
#

Kind of wasnt though

fierce elm
#

Yeah idk about that chief

sharp meteor
#

the only bad season was eternal cos wotlk

lavish quest
#

The numbers certainly say it was

fierce elm
#

SL was very populated the seasons I played

#

lmao

#

You weren't facing the same people constantly, it wasn't just multi-glad multi r1 people at 2.2

#

You were facing people that were actually, true 2.2 people.

lavish quest
#

Cool, the numbers were good by pvp abused standards

#

Neat

fierce elm
#

the fuck does that even mean

lavish quest
#

That they were still low lol

#

Just in comparison to all the other low, it was better I guess?

fierce elm
#

Yeah, no shit its a subsection of a game that is pretty tiny

#

lmfao

#

like whatchu mean

lavish quest
#

Eggs Zact Lee

#

That's literally my point

fierce elm
#

But you were still queueing constantly, weren't playing the same people, LFG was always populated

robust hearth
lavish quest
fierce elm
#

You can't do much about a gamemode that is just not popular with the average person

sharp meteor
#

just stinks for anybody tryna 3s

lavish quest
#

So you're disagreeing with my point by agreeing with my point?

sharp meteor
#

its like sry bro im shufflin

fierce elm
#

But the actual playerbase of PvP was pretty good

#

No your point is that the game subsection is tiny from the start

#

But thats just a disingenous argument

lavish quest
#

???

robust hearth
#

My brain

fierce elm
#

Eh w.e

lavish quest
#

Your point is disingenuous because it's too right

fierce elm
#

its joever

lavish quest
#

Shit, you right

robust hearth
#

Bro I'm supposed to be the stupid 1

#

Tf happened to u these past months

#

Holy shit

#

I stopped playing WoW for a while too

#

Holy shit does wow actually give brain rot

lavish quest
#

Who are you even talking to?

robust hearth
#

Afro

fierce elm
#

Give me a second here

#

Getting some numbers

robust hearth
compact mica
#

what u noobs yapping about

lavish quest
#

Wut in the

robust hearth
#

Im also fried too so like is afro cooked?

lavish quest
#

Afro been cooked

fierce elm
#

Alright

robust hearth
#

Bet he was gooning

fierce elm
#

Taking this from some weird numbers and approximations

#

and talking mainly about SL s2 because its the season I personally engaged in the most

#

SL S2 had ish approx over 4.2k players over 2.4 in 3v3

compact mica
#

yeah the most inflated season ever

#

everyone become gladiator

fierce elm
#

Based on how tiny the PvP playerbase is, that is a fine number for people to engage in

#

That is true

compact mica
#

s1 was more popular

fierce elm
#

S3 had approx 2550

compact mica
#

cuz pve players pvped for weapon and shit

#

do u remember the 2400 weapon all the M+ nerds pvped for it

fierce elm
#

and s1 had approx 8k

compact mica
#

or got boosted

violet fossil
lavish quest
sharp meteor
#

it was like 3k glads for most seasons in df

#

shadowlands was like 10k in unchained

#

sinful was crazy then fell off

fierce elm
#

Those playerbase numbers are pretty fucking good

#

As in, healthy for the gamemode

sharp meteor
#

unchained was insane

compact mica
#

unchained was a fun season but holy fuck did it devalue gladiator to the point of being nothing

sharp meteor
#

cosmic was really crazy

#

eternal was the deadest in like years

lavish quest
#

Those literally aren't player numbers

fierce elm
#

Except they are

sharp meteor
#

dragonflight was decent all througout

fierce elm
#

Assuming s1

lavish quest
#

You just said more players who played got glad

fierce elm
#

assuming 8k players

#

ABOVE 2.4k

#

ABOVE 2.4k

lavish quest
#

Exactly...

fierce elm
#

you have about 2.6k 3s team

#

above 2.4k

lavish quest
#

Stop agreeing with me so hard

#

:)

fierce elm
#

alright w.e

#

Clearly if the gamemode doesn't have 100k concurrent players its a dead gamemode

elfin surge
#

Solo shuffle will fix wow pvp for sure they said

fierce elm
#

Got everyone the rewards kek

lavish quest
#

Is it not common knowledge that pvp has been trending down for a decade at least?

fierce elm
#

Pretty sure its been longer than that

#

But you would be surprised how tiny a playerbase can be and still be active

lavish quest
#

I apparently let the secret out

sharp meteor
#

thank you savix and stoopz for killin arena and then quitting

compact mica
#

it wasnt even the way they wanted either

#

LOL

#

but yeah it came out and they didnt even play it

sharp meteor
#

man imagine if it was 1 round

#

and it'd still be awful

#

wait 14 mins to see some ret die without bubble

#

then back in q

compact mica
#

shouldve redone the lfg system before doing anything with solo queue

#

i swear solo q in an MMO just isnt a good idea

sharp meteor
#

ya lfg ancient and awful

#

need to be able to perma list self and when you play and spec and exp etc

fierce elm
sharp meteor
#

yo 2100 cr 3s disc lf bm feral at 8 pm est most evenings and it just lets people send in something

lavish quest
#

I don't think there's any manner of lfg change they were gonna do that would make people queue 3s keks

sharp meteor
#

and you can filter by potential partners

#

but yeah lfg also doomed by the social thing regardless of how good they make it

#

whcih is people wanna q with big partners

compact mica
sharp meteor
#

shuffle r1 is the true test of skill noahwhite

compact mica
#

yeah

#

lot of good players getting that

fierce elm
#

Waiting for the day m+ solo queue gets put in and just kills LFG entirely lmao

sharp meteor
#

honestly shuffle r1 too fast sometimes i think

compact mica
#

this is mud btw i dont wanna type on my phone so im just on her pc

#

sharp meteor
#

compact mica
#

sharp meteor
compact mica
#

sharp meteor
#

i think new expac cycle is gonna be 3 tiers and seasons

#

then no fated

#

fierce elm
#

They did say something about just being 3 tiers

sharp meteor
#

with that weird lull at the end

fierce elm
#

sharp meteor
#

compact mica
#

I thought the pve noobs liked that season

sharp meteor
#

nah pve noobs hate it

#

This was the roadmap

sharp meteor
#

hey guyss. not a warrior, but here to see if anyone has a weakaura they use to track hamstring uptime? to notify you if its about to fall off your target? I think it would be helpful to a warrior I am coaching

Coaching a warrior but not a warrior 🤔

I don't think anyone has a hamstring weakaura here

but I reckon creating one would take like 2 seconds
