World of Warcraft

[pursuitsnail]

WoD had a really solid opening but then after about a month or two it died, and the lack of any new content for the whole expansion just made it worse. The Mythic raids that WoD did have were pretty good though, but splitting High Maul and BRF the way they did was rather stupid as despite them sort of sharing a tier, once BRF was out there was no reason to go to High Maul.

Highmaul was an 'appetizer' raid like MSV. Those were something they started doing in order to bridge the gap between heroic dungeons and the first tier of raiding, which turned into a ridiculous chasm in Cata.. A problem they brought on themselves by deciding that heroic dungeons were THE end game content for casuals, and thus should not drop better gear, and that ten man raids were going to drop the same loot as twenty-five mans, which were for real players who deserved purples. It's why ZA and ZG ending up becoming that stepping stone, though I don't remember what they had originally planned for the re-releases. I do remember that Greg "Dungeons are Hard!" Street was awfully salty that people didn't git gud, and instead just left since the instanced content was so punishing.

And it's easy to forget that pretty much all WoD had after leveling was a daily quest to grind mobs and running eight dungeons that all dropped the same loot. Not jumping into Highmaul? No reason to stay for the intentionally miserable overworld and completely broken Ashran.

Look, no matter how bad it might be, at least take comfort in the fact that you're not this loser slinking back to play WoW after having had numerous meltdowns about it a year ago

Speaking as a FFXIV person you can have him back thanks.

It was really odd of him to roll into FFXIV like a big deal when we've already got like 30 lore channels that actually played the game pre 2021. I'd imagine all of the "DONE WITH WOW FOREVER BELIEVE WOMEN" crew are going to slink back.

I saw Preach sneaking back over too.

 

[Well Intentioned]

He's currently sitting at 195 viewers and is streaming FFXIV.

Although,



Looking at his stats page, it looks like he rode the wave of goodwill by hopping over to FFXIV, peaked around January of this year (I'm assuming coinciding when he completed EW or maybe ShB?) and has basically pissed away everything.

Well you know, YouTube personalities are just an offshoot of regular celebrities, and about as trustworthy too.

The trailer for this thing has shown up a lot in my video ads, but it looks no different than any other quick-buck promotion for [insert random RPG/MMO]. Why does it look so terrible? Even as someone who was not big on WoW's cartoony art style, you knew what you were looking at when you saw the Night Elf in the vanilla box art, or any of the old box art for expansions, really.

I remember Bellular would bang his fist and say how he'll be pissed if they go any further with the bowls of fruit in the name of virtue signaling, such as cutting jokes. Then the following week they'd do something like remove any jokes with sexual allusion and he'd just say "Well, it's complicated guys, we don't know how these jokes effected women..."

They're all full of shit, always.

As much as I say most Bliz haters these days are faggots jumping on a bandwagon*, Bliz's purging of jokes was one of the most awful things they did. Yes, I'm including the real life shit, considering no one has stepped forwards with a single bit of proof on any of it. If any of it is proven, my rankings may change.

Not only did it remove a lot of personality, but it was inconsistent as hell. Goblins lose their BDSM jokes, but Worgen keep their 'furry' and 'bone' jokes/flirts? And Dwarf females losing 'It's like me father always said: Shut up and get out', absolutely fucking baffles me.

*: Mind, I'm not saying they're wrong, WoW is a fucking trashfire, but it always has been. The only differences from Vanilla to now are the community changing (due to letting in normies), them catering to the normies when they added LFG, and it's no longer popular to like them, due in large part to the aforementioned baseless accusations. They're also overdramatizing a lot of it.

WoW players deserve it.

These fucks been doing this for awhile. Say they’re done with WoW forever, but slink back when a new expansion drops and will praise it to the moon and back, and then drop it again when public opinion turns sour. That grift and sunk cost is too much to lose.

Something funny in game, but if you say you're a cohort to Seballion, people will get really mad at you. Like if you choose to support Seballion in his WQ, people will throw a fit.

I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK I DONT WANT TO GO BACK

PLEASE PAPA BLIZZARD DONT MAKE ME GET A JOB. PAY ME THOSE SWEET TWITCH BUCKARINOS! PLEASE BLIZZARD, DONT MAKE ME GO BACK TO WAGIE CAGIE! ALL IS FORGIVEN! I'LL SWEAR FFXIV IS THE WORST MMO ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW! PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO GET A JOB!

btw I'm expecting a divorce arc with Pyromancer in the near future. There is no way their relationship, considering how much desperate effort Pyromancer is putting forth towards his twitch career, isn't at all turbulent.

To play devils advocate (it's my favorite role!), if I got on Youtube funbux (because fuck being a streamer), I'd probably do some fedpost worthy things to not have to go back to hourly. Even if I was only making 500/m, I'd rather tighten my belt to my fucking spine than go back.

That's a fine sentiment, to be honest. No different than say, someone picking up a trade, working their bag off and pursuing the life they want.

It'd be great if a lot of these folks put in the effort for their 'career', rather than feeling entitled to it, though.

Like, dude thinks scribbling furiously in a notebook, being a retard who doesn't understand story and having an obnoxious personality entitles him to streamer moolah. It's the same shit with Lowtax: bare minimum of effort while expecting the fucking world.

I get that, but there has to at least be some bit of awareness that youtube money is a volatile and very insecure way of making money. There will come a point when someone will fall into irrelevancy.

Well I know who's side I'm gonna pick if I ever return to this cesspool of a video game <smiles devilishly>.

I hate how they flanderized Wrathion, yeah bro we totally need another quippy, snarky not-Tony Stark character, people sure love recycled MCU character archetypes,
Nu-WoW writers write characters and stories not for sake of writing something good and engaging, but for it to fill the TvTropes page quota and recycle pop-culture shit that only normies love.

When was Wrathion ever *not* a quippy, snarky, not Tony Stark?

The only difference between Wrathion and Tony is that Tony's plans actually work, and have some common sense to them.

Wrathion was doomed to that role the moment he stopped being a weirdass in a top-heavy turban. Most characters have been slapped into the same archetypes even if it requires their spines to snap audibly as they force the square peg into a round hole.

He was vaguely competent in the old Rogue artifact quest and in Pandaria, the latter being where he flexed heavily that he had a full spy organization that did his bidding. His biggest 'weakness' was that he didn't believe in the heart of the cards power of friendship and Blizzard's never ending desire to reset the faction war to status quo.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

Tony Stark wouldn't give a time machine to Hitler to save the world from Thanos for starters.

I’m loving turtle wow since it puts the elves in their right faction and I can still be racist, just like my hero Umaril.
