World of Warcraft |OT9| People still play this? Isn't it from 2004

Hymdall, too. Hyrja is noticeably unconscious when she 'dies' in HoV, and Hymdall wanders off and gives you a chest at 10%.

Yeah but Hymdall I could understand, I just kinda figured Hyjra was dead, especially since we interrupt her ritual.

People will use "creative game mechanics" if they can. So when they see a guild using it and not getting any consequences...

Honestly, Blizz really should've just had a blue post saying "guys, don't do this". But communication is haaaard :(
Communicate what exactly? Don't Cheat? If someone needs to be told that everytime they find something new to exploit they shouldn't be playing the game.
 
Watching streams of WWs in high level arena.

I wonder when they get hit with the nerf. The Artifact ability nerf clearly wasn't enough with 11% representation in 3vs3. They seem like a bigger exception than Shadow Priests since they excel so well with trash in Mythic+ as well

WW is not really out of line with other top melee specs like Ret, Frost, and Feral. Your number for their representation seems off the mark. It's more like Monk at ~13% representation overall, but WW contributes 5% and MW contributes 8%.

I'm sure they'll adjust the numbers down at some point, although I think the problem is entirely Serenity. Tweak that and WW are fine.

Ferals are worse, IMO (I play both Feral and WW). But the problem with both of them is the insane uptime on their target of choice couples with really good damage (esp spread damage as a Feral). Although I love playing my Feral like an Affliction Warlock.
 
I just want actual support classes back. It's why I played a Shaman in the first place. It's why I played one in Everquest.

Support classes are kind of tough in this day and age. They're my personal favorite style of class to play, but they are extraordinarily hard to balance. In a game like WoW where every number is available for DPS meters and simulations and whatnot, a support class either becomes absolutely necessary to have 1 of, or X of if it is balanced that way. Or they aren't strong enough and you never take one ever, at least if they are support in the sense that they increase DPS of others. If they are support in some other way, again they are either nearly required or absolutely unnecessary.

I think a cool idea would be something like giving them the majority of the raid CDs. But again, it is really hard to balance that and then groups would just take X number based on how much utility they need that fight...

They are running out of obvious classes to add so hold on tight, after Necromancer you know what comes next!

I'd honestly prefer them to not put in a new race or class. They still have some difficulty giving current races a time to shine and I hate seeing a new race get shelved hard like the Pandaren did (and the Worgen before them. And the Draenei before them).

And class-wise, we're pretty well stocked at this point, though an actual ranged DPS (caster, preferably) would be nice.

No, I think some new race-class combos will be coming.

High Elves for the Alliance, and Nightfallen for the horde.

Just give the people what they want.

Nightfallen would be dope, but I don't see why they'd join the Horde over the Alliance. Unless they were rejected from Night Elf society because of their love of Arcane magic or something.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I feel like Nightborne can be neutral, as well as Highbourne.

High Elves: Historical alliance with the humans, but also directly related to blood elves
Nightbourne: Offshoot of night elves, but their post-Suramaran history is very similar to that of the blood elves

New engineer class.

Goblins/Orcs/Trolls
Gnomes/Dwarves/Humans

Black Friday should totally offer discounts for game services like name change race change and crap like that.

Has that stuff ever been on sale?

Next race is Ogres. Ya'll are crazy to think otherwise. Alliance will get something else. Not elves.
We'll probably get Panda Druids and Orc Priests(shadow priests as the main lore reason) and some other stuff down the line as well


Next class is a three way race between a hero class tinkerer(tank/heals/rdps that's exclusive to gnomes and goblins), bard(dps/support lol jk they're not adding a support/healer) and necromancer(ranged dps)

If Ogres didn't come with WoD, I don't think they ever will.

Ogres are too close to Orc/Goblin/Trolls anyway.

Despite my other post, we also don't actually need anymore elves.

We need something completely different, either Etherals, Demons, or Dragonkin.

New race/class combo, we need Worgen Monks.

Also completely redo female Worgen so they are less creepy.

What we'll actually get is a new melee DPS/tank hybrid called Blademaster. It uses leather agility, a special resource system to deliver swift strikes to their enemy. It's not Fel Rush what are you even talking about. Also they're incredibly mobile.

You think you want more ranged dps but you dont

The best thing Blizzard could do would be to focus on "subraces" or whatever it is that would allow them to expand customization options for what's already playable. They already took the first step towards that with Demon Hunters.

As much as I want vrykul playable (it'll never happen) I'd be fucking thrilled if they added untainted orcs and wildhammer dwarves as cosmetic options.

Subraces would be awesome. Give me Zandalari trolls who can stand up straight or Taunka/Highmountain/Yuangol Tauren

Zandalari would probably be a little out of the realm of possibility given they have drastically different models than Trolls.

I don't think subraces are enough of a feature to sell an expansion on by themself though. There's not much 'new' to them to the average joe.

Honestly, until you mentioned it (and even now, since I can't find any obvious pictures) I had no idea there were any cosmetic differences between playable dwarves and wildhammer dwarves...

Light skin, blue tribal tattoos. Oddly enough males have options to be Dark Iron but females don't.

The pets and mounts were half off but I can't remember there ever being discounts on "services." But then don't they still claim the cost is there just to discourage people from doing it?

They said in the Q&As during Blizzcon that they're working on subraces for the game, so you can probably expect it next expac or after that.

They could market it as new races since they'd be different models in a lot of cases.

On race/class combos - there's a Night Elf Paladin in the class hall campaign, I would expect that to be a thing shortly.

Yeah I don't see why not. The same reasoning for Tauren also apply to Night Elves.
 
Are there even High Elves around? I thought they all became blood elves after Quel'Thalas got rekt

Not all of them, but most of them. And a decent amount have died since. There's some argument about exactly how many there are left but there aren't a ton. The ones we see in game are probably a decent portion of the ones still alive.
 
Dinged 110 on warrior, still 3 days for AK research

7.1.5 can't come fast enough in that regard.

I don't know if I even want to actually play it until I have at least like AK 10 lol.

Yes, bad luck protection does exist.

When it comes to most targettable loot from a boss (gear/mounts/pets etc.) those drops have a fixed drop chance. If "Boots of Unending Awesomeness" have a 33% chance of dropping, that chance will always be 33% regardless of how many loot-eligible times you kill that boss.

Legendaries on the other hand, if you are running Legendary-eligible content and don't get a Legendary, then your chance of getting one with increase over time. The more content you do without getting a Legendary, the higher your chance will become.

Do you believe them? 😓
