Bellular pretty much gets it

Bellular is usually spot on about things

Speaking of, I just got one of my posts “Post hidden by community flags” things, but I don’t know how to find out which post it was, the notice doesn’t tell me.

Does anyone know how I can look up the specific post?

When it comes to game mechanics, sure.

However when it comes to lore, he is 50/50.

I’m not sure why anyone is bothered by clickbait titles anymore. Practically everyone does it, I’ve become desensitized.

Well, they ARE a pain in the butt, and between YouTube, cable news and everything being a “BREAKING NEWS!” and everybody manipulating people to get their attention so much, it makes me think of that old child story of the boy who cried wolf.

But yeah, its the new “normal” now it seems.

Let me guess, bellular waited a day to cull Reddit for his script and present it as if it was his own ideas again? Otherwise known as “Every Bellular Video Ever”.

Funny enough Bellular made a video about how he needed to create clickbait titles due to the changing algorithm of YouTube

Yup. It’s what people click on, and algorithms pick up on that. It works only because people click, so content creators are adapting to the trend.

No, it showed him and a friend playing the game, and he read notes from his game experience.

The video is worth a watch.

No, if I wanted to know what he thought I’d just check what was on r/wow yesterday.

Quite a few people who don’t like Bellular criticizing WoW for BFA engage in ad hominems to try and dismiss his points.

Not only is this true but I think it’s been true for quite a long time

I really like Bellular, but i think he’s jumping on the bandwagon with this one.

It’s not a timer. It really isn’t.

Torghast is really great for the first few levels, because it’s difficult.
The tower needed more scaling. It needs a big push to the natural curve of the difficulty.
How is a soft engrage not the perfect way to keep the difficulty going?

People saying they want to “take their time” and “not feel time pressured”, have you not watched the ridiculousness that is Torghast gameplay?
You constantly blink around a mage, you’re always BL-ing as a Shaman, youre leaping around and mass AOEing, the tower is not designed for slow paced game-play, no rogue-like gets slower and easier the longer you play, it gets crazy.

He’s actually discussing more about the psychological aspect of the timer. For most people it won’t really bother them however it’s still annoying “fly”

Its a “time pressure”, and prevents you from being able to go AFK for 5-10 minutes, if real life gets in the way.

If an emergency happens then that’s life, a video game doesn’t need to accommodate for that.
But if you need to go get food, go to the toilet, or even drive to the store, you can go do that.

To call it a time pressure is a little much.
It stacks over time, but it’s hardly pressuring you into rushing.
If you’re waiting for your CDs then the packs will be easier anyway, so it’ll balance out.

Besides, time pressure does not equal a timer.
A timer is when your time actually matters in the reward.
This is just if you take excessively long, you’ll probably die.

From the videos I’ve watched, you are incorrect. You very well may find yourself coming back to a dead avatar.

Based on what the Blizzard devs have literally said, I am correct. :man_shrugging:

However, at the start of each floor, you now get a small safe area where you can change talents and prevents the soft timer from activating. In this area, you get a buff called Resting, which lasts until you leave the safe area

“Oh man I’ve really got to use the bathroom.”
Come back, you’re dead. -_-

I used to watch HeelVsBabyface, but not anymore, and just for the reasons you specified. Way too much anti-SJW content, got annoying.
