Up next: Diaper system implemented! Drinking or eating too many times without visiting a bathroom will cause “full diaper” debuff. We thought it wasn’t immersive enough to be able to gain HP again without a healer so we invented a new system just to cause problems that never existed before!
“Hey guys we need to hearth before any more attempts, all our healers #!$$ed their pants from drinking too many mana potions…”
Gotta boost that participation metrics somehow, this is like 15 second per daze per person.
/laughs in Path of Frost
Blizz if you nerf Sky golem now and add mount herbing equipment, it would add so much more time played metric, Think about it!
I actually enjoyed Argus until it became obsolete. But I also had [Demon Skin] protecting me just enough that I could dash through mobs without getting dismounted on my way to & from places.
I’m burned out on getting bad news from Blizzard.
I can’t get excited over Pathfinder2 finally dropping, I’ve already earned that twice over already, a third time loses it’s “Woo! Yay!” appeal.
I can’t get excited over two new outdoor zones knowing that navigating them, even with flight, is going to be a regular nusance.
I can’t get exited about the new ‘epic dungeon’ because all my friends have quit this tragic expansion, and I’ll just end up doing it with toxic PUGs.
I can’t get excited about the story, because, honestly… it’s been dribbling out so slowly I’ve totally forgotten what’s going on.
I’ve enjoyed past expansions that were reviled… I had a lot of fun in WoD, even solo after others burned out and got tired of it. Same with MoP and Legion.
But Blizzard has pooched the screwdriver this expansion. I loved the art and music and loas… but then every day it was “SAVE MORE TURTLES” and the hatred started to burn.
And the stupid layout for Dazor’alor.
And then portals.
And then now striders.
And now daze.
My poor camel didn’t just have his back broken, the poor thing was crushed and suffocated under a mountain of straw of bad decisions.
Enough is enough. Someone needs to call game-protective-services and have BlizzardActivisions custody rights revoked before it’s too late.
Exaclty. Like:
9.0 Patch notes: Hearthstones now only usable while player is RESTING. Special rare-drop/elite-reagent recipe can create gemstones for your hearthstone to restore the ability to hearth from non-resting locations.

Mark my werds people. This is just a test and the final thing they’ll come for will be flying. In the end you’ll only be able to choose one thing across all mounts.
![:joy:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=6" ":joy:")
F2P is a self destructive design philosophy. You’re actually starting from a point, of “How do I make this game bad enough…” Once you go down that path game design is in a state of decay and you open yourself up to competition from any company that starts with “How do I make a good game”
I am now sad ![:cry:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/cry.png?v=6" ":cry:")
why they gotta do that instead of making the game better.
PTR is PTR. There is a chance this is unintended or not working properly.
But assuming it was an intended change… why, after all this time, go and change the rules like this?
Ion hates water striders. And because we squawked in rebellion last time they tried to remove it, they had to get ‘sneaky’ about it.
This is their latest attempt.
and it’ll probably work well enough that they’ll stick with it for the few remaining players who put up with being abused like this.
If there’s one thing the playerbase has learned about Ion, it is that he is a petty and vindictive little manchild. Any time the peasants dare question his perfect creation he happily “complies” (aka stores the insubordination rage he has an infinite supply of) and then pulls some lawyer-ese out of his butt to explain to us how makign things worse isn’t some form of petty revenge.
Ion hate hate hates everyone except for mythic raiders and M+ players and he wants us to be miserable for not playing the game his way.
Oh,another nerf coming well at least it’s not a stealth nerf and it’s not a new expanse either.
On an off topic quickly, does ion do pvp? nvm found out.
So it all becomes clear now: the whole water strider thing was just a pretext to push THIS change through.
Because everyone loves Daze, so let’s buff it!
This really a bad concept ,give a way to counter dazing with azerite gear then take it away in a patch for what? I bet,it’s pvp.
Has nothing to do with PvP and everything to do with mount equipment.
Blizzard proposed that the Water Strider was so powerful that “everyone” only used the Strider 100% of the time. Even players like me who don’t even have one!
Blizzard creates a new equipment system to “create mount diversity” for Water Walking so that everyone isn’t using the Water Strider.
Blizzard makes a nerfed version of water walking for the mount equipment.
Blizzard sees many players saying that they will only use the water walking equipment and ignore the rest because: bardings, hoofplates, stirrups, water walking potions, goblin gliders.
Blizzard increases mob density and Daze chance in the new content to incentivize using the no daze equipment.
Blizzard suddenly remembers that current equipment effects (Resounding Protection) and specialization abilities also prevent daze.
Blizzard removes the Daze prevention from these effects and abilities.
I couldn’t care less about having to watch myself if I’m trying to ride through a pack of mobs, but if this change means that tanks will now have to worry about being dazed when positioning/kiting mobs, it will officially be one of the most stupid decisions ever.
“Sorry, guys, I couldn’t make it into Paku’s Wrath in time…the boss dazed me on my way over there…”
It’s alpha, they’ll fix it by beta.
It’s beta, they’ll fix it by PTR
It’s the PTR, they’ll fix it by launch.
It’s the first day they’ll fix it by x.2
repeat any time they’re allowed to free cast
