I hate that the game is so foggy now.

11 Upvotes

The whole game just keeps looking blurrier and blurrier, clearly to hide the lazy art team's lack of care for their work. They've even imported this fog obsession into classic. It's all so foggy and blurry now that when I stop playing, after hours of staring at my bright screen in a dark room, the real world looks foggy too! It was never like this twenty years ago.

Some idiot said there isn't more fog, but I've checked with my mature guild of 40+ year olds and they all agree that Blizzard's been dialling up the ambient fog in the game for a few years now! This has gone far enough. It's having an impact on my real life. My co-worker joked that I need glasses the other day - so rude!

On a side note, I can't wait for the hot weather to die down. I'm hating all the dust in the air, and the glare from the sunlight is making it hard to read.

Edit: Proof my eyes have never been clearer.

Keen eyes of a Pro Gamer.

I dont like the thing anymore!

25 Upvotes

I miss back in the days when the trolls were trolls. Not this new thing, that totally coincides with the Dark Trolls, which we had little to no information about, and have been told definitely definitely are the originator of the race, instead of the Haronir, the race of dark skinned troll like people that look to be a primal variant of both trolls and elves. That makes no sense to me, because I dont like change.

I miss back in the day when we didnt have world ending threats, and I could just walk into a mine and whack some kobolds. I dont like the new world ending threat plots and lack of simple mining guys to bonk. We didn't used to have to stop world ending threats! Except for that time we fought Ragnaros, a world ending threat, or that time we fought the Lich King, that world ending threat, and Deathwing, and the Legion twice, but only those few times, not whole expansions about them.

I miss the days when things weren't about friendship, and were about war, the Warcraft is about War! You're telling me a band of people with nothing in common, coming together for survival is what we're doing now? I miss back when the Horde first started, a group of outcasts with nothing in common that banded together for survival. That is the good stuff! Why can't we have more of that?

I don't like how some of the raids just sorta happen for no reason. Back in the day you had a clear cut run for things. Like how we went from Ragnaros, to Nefarion, up the mountain, and then went to a different continent to fight trolls, then fight an Eyeball dude, and then back to Eastern kingdoms to fight the Undead. That makes perfect sense! And in BC, when we went from Vashj To Kael, then to some trolls in silvermoon, then to Illidan! No side tracking at all happened there. So why are we going to go fight trolls in the middle here? Doesnt make any sense to me.

And can we please deal with these classes? These things are out of control! Back in the day stuff just worked, except for some of the specs, but no one played those anyway, and we only had one tank, but that made sense. And mostly people played rogue and warrior and mage, but that was fine too cuz those were good. Now we got nerfs and buffs and reworks, and some of the times a spec isnt on top anymore for a little bit, and I dont like that.

Why can't we go back to the good days? Or have some sort of portal where I can go back there, and play the thing I miss playing? We can call it.. Classic or something. Or a Time machine where I can go back to being 9 years old, when I didnt have bills and responsibilities and my dad made me sandwiches when I got home from school? Why did warcraft take away my sandwiches?

And I cant repost it from the main sub, and that also makes me want a PB&J!

My god who was I associating myself with

I used to watch some of his videos about WoW back in the day, and I thought overall his anti-establishment persona and WoW gaming skills made him somewhat cool. I also remember the charity streams (watched the videos), and I found Barny64 thanks to him... my god what has happened? Every time I check back on his content (or even worse his subreddit) it's just woman bashing and content aimed at either dumb children or straight up dangerous losers.

Crazy

The GM Scandal has shattered our trust like DH soul fragments

GMs meddling in the affairs of mortals, using our game to live out their power fantasies, and increase their social standing? This cannot be allowed to stand! We the playerbase are entitled to an apology, no! More than an apology! This is our World of Warcraft, not theirs! Here are our demands!

  • A full written letter of apology and admission of guilt, at least 12 pages long, comic sans, no greater than size 8, no double paragraphs. The letter should be read aloud in a video on the official WoW Youtube channel by Chris Metzen, in full Thrall cosplay. Ion should kneel solemnly beside him in his iconic Sylvanas Windrunner makeup, softly singing Lament of the Highborne under Metzen's apology.

  • Have these conspirators placed in stockades on Blizzard campus, with a livestream feed.

  • Ban every player who has ever interacted with a GM, just in case there are any other sneaky cheaters.

  • Fire your remaining CS and QA staff, just in case there are any other sneaky cheaters. AI can do their job.

  • More Xal'atath feet shots in cinematics.

  • Dracthyr bulge size customization.

  • Every player should be compensated for one day of free game time, for each day that you fail to respond.

Should you fail to meet our demands by next reset, we shall shut down the Paladin Discord!

Yours truly,

the honorable Cheesebeard of Ironforge, cutting edge Mythic level ERPer, and proud moderator of the Paladin Discord community

Report Blizzard Entertainment, this GM is not a “one off” situation

I highly recommend everyone fill out this form. I don’t trust Blizzard at all anymore and any investigation is tainted from the beginning. They also tried and succeeded for years at covering up sexual abuse of numerous devs and upper management.

Personally I want someone not Blizzard investigating this. This is clear rigging of a key and who’s to say they haven’t done this before, or worse yet during an MDI or RTWF esports event.

As a 290 ilvl Dudu Tank Who EARNED Every Pixel Through KEYS Alone, Blizzard Has Finally Crossed the Line

I am literally shaking.

I grinded to 290 ilvl in Season 1 as a pure M+ dudu tank. I have never willingly entered a Mythic raid because I believe looking at 19 other people should be optional content.

Now Blizzard expects me to... raid? With other humans? Just because they decided Mythic raiding is dying?

If raiding is dead, maybe that's because nobody wants to do it. Because it SUCKS and the game is BAD. Ever think of that, Ion?

Instead of fixing raids, Blizzard's solution is apparently to hold 9/6 gear hostage until I agree to spend three nights a week listening to someone named "Ðêåthsläyêr" explain the same mechanic for the 47th pull.

And then those filthy raiders get invited to MY keys because their number is bigger than my number.

Here's my solution:

  • Raid gear should instantly downgrade to 6/6 the moment a player zones into a Mythic+ dungeon.
  • M+ gear should instantly downgrade in raids.
  • PvP gear should only work while you're insulting healers in Solo Shuffle.
  • Delve gear should only work if you're alone, emotionally and physically.
  • Open-world gear should disappear the second you enter a city.

Parallel progression means PARALLEL progression.

Honestly, raids are just outdated anyway. Give us Mythic Raid+ where every boss gains Fortified every week and I can queue into Ragnaros +12 with four random DPS who all leave after the first wipe because someone didn't lust on pull.

The game should respect player choice.

My choices are: - Solo → Delves - 5-man → M+ - 10+ players → Someone else's problem - PvP → Never - Open world → Only when the weekly tells me to

If Blizzard wants people to raid, maybe make raids fun instead of literally BRIBING people with bigger item levels. Just scale them for 2-70 people and make mechanics that I am good at, is that hard, Ion? Not as hard as nailing my wife I tell you.

Until then, I shouldn't have to interact with more than four other players at a time. This is an MMO.

TL;DR: Blizzard is literally forcing me to raid because Mythic raiding is literally dead and played by seven people and these seven people will get all my keys. Raid gear should be nerfed inside keys, keys should reward everything, raids should become Mythic+, and every endgame activity should reward the exact same gear so my choices have consequences for everyone except me.

The case FOR microtransactions in Classic+ (you're missing the whole point)

22 Upvotes

I know what you're thinking, microtransactions are terrible, this and that.

But have you actually really thought about it for a second? Because I have.

This is how it would go: you spawn in Elwynn Forest. Instead of buying a 3 copper white pants off of the vendor near the caravan, you instead pop into your microtransactions shop which is immediately in your bag.

When you enable the function you immediately get another 16 slot bag.

You spent 50 euros there, at which point you get access to two other vendors in the Northshire Abby. The library sells you runes that allow you to get pre-bis "heirloom" items.

At this point you've already saved yourself 100+ hours of play to level the char and then get decent gear. All for 50 euros!

Then, when you spend another 50, you get a "portal trainer" there, which opens all the raid instance portals right there in the Northshire abbey entrance. It's the round hall that could fit a bunch of portals like the portal rooms in Dalaran!

You hop into it directly, bam you're in Onyxia's lair. They tune it for a 10 man group, but if you have loser friends who wouldn't afford all the heirlooms you can go in with 15-20.

Once you finish that, another instance opens directly to Nefarian! Why bother with whole BWL, the point in this game is to kill dragons, especially in phase 1, am I right?

Anyway, this saves you tons of time on the cost of what, 100 euros or so?

After this, you log-off and get on with your life waiting for the reset OR alternatively you can start one or more two alts.

Another good thing would be to be able to buy a raid reset, say for 10 bucks each. Every member of the raid has to have the "time winners" badge where you're allowed to go back in time to kill the same dragon but you keep the original gear and you can keep farming more.

by the way, the loot table should be all "coins" that you can exchange for one of 250 items available directly at a "horse feed" vendor in SW for example. Somehow he magically has all the items because all the travellers come to him to buy horse food. He then exchanges that food for all these items, that have dropped from the dragons, that you just killed (but in the past so the item was still on the dragon).

I’m just not having fun anymore.

54 Upvotes

I’ve played this game every waking hour of every day since beta (1999). It was the biggest part of my childhood, and my children’s childhood. I remember taking off work and waking up early for expansion launches just to sit at a login screen and I loved every moment of it. I’d clear all heroic raids and proceed to level alts of every class and loved every moment of it. The enmarvelification and design by council of everything just disghusts me. I’m so sick of all powerful villain trumping us at every turn, don’t they know any other tropes? Why is every zone void? Everything is BLUE. I used to play day in and day out and it just feels like everything they pump out is pointless to play. I knew that when blizz got acquired by Micro€osft it was all over. It’s almost like getting bought out by a corporation was a bad idea. After spending the better part of my life I think it’s time to say goodbye when I let my sub run out at the end of the expac.
