Historically, BM had the lore, SV had the game play. They went with the game play. They also have been ignoring their customers for years. Had they paid us customers any mind, BM would have gone melee.
As long as you don't go the Bepples route... His posts are a decent into madness and he's one of the few who I hope to never meet because he might go violent. (And Bepples I am sure that you will read this, seriously your posts hold that much rage. Look into getting help.)09/18/2018 06:51 PMPosted by Firekatkid09/18/2018 03:29 PMPosted by Whim...I'll be honest, that makes me think that you might need some help. It's literally been a few years, let it go. It also feels nothing like UH to me. It feels more like BM than BM ever has.
Nah, I'm good. I do miss zoo mode, though. I really liked when that was a highly viable go to.
I mean, even back during classic SV was designed for melee but was played at range.09/18/2018 06:54 PMPosted by WhimHistorically, BM had the lore, SV had the game play. They went with the game play.

I think blizz has gotten worse since 2013 when Activision bought Blizzard. The actual feedback and discussions we have with the devs and the notable amount of feedback we can see that was listened to have all decreased.
I suspect the devs and the people working on the game itself care deeply. I am guessing a lot of stuff or potential changes gets bogged down by corporate stupidity.
That's why I think that they are no longer in charge. I have a few other suspicions, but that is the bulk of it.I mean, even back during classic SV was designed for melee but was played at range.09/18/2018 06:54 PMPosted by WhimHistorically, BM had the lore, SV had the game play.

Bean counters.
One of any businesses biggest expenses is their employees in wages, health care, retirement, etc. One of the first things to cut when profits start dropping is employees either through hours on the clock or number of employees.
If Classes aren't constantly overhauled then why would they need class developers. Got to justify your existence to keep your paycheck. Which is good for them, sort of, but bad for the player when we could have a really good specs with consistent baseline rotations which simply get new cool talents to replace the bad ones.
There comes a time though when those jobs are going to be axed regardless which will likely leave us with lots of bad specs while the game goes on maintenance mode.

09/18/2018 10:58 AMPosted by WhimHave it put out serious numbers and see it rise.
I think Blizzard has proven that numbers aren't everything. SV in Legion was top damage hunter at one point and remained barely played. BFA MM could be top damage Hunter and would still be terribly not fun to play which would still have an impact on participation numbers.
SV in Legion was also pretty broken too.09/18/2018 10:58 AMPosted by WhimHave it put out serious numbers and see it rise.

I absolutely hated way of Mok'Nathal. It was such a pain to maintain that buff....SV in Legion was also pretty broken too.

Am I the only one who gets a sort of masochistic pleasure from some of the absolutely egregious typos that are all too frequent around here?

Here's a snippet.
"if they make it instants cast + global cool down can't reduce the damage. it would still average out the same and it's not great as is. all this does is make it so when target the 10 billion times in raid you can move with out losing a 2 sec cost shot. it's redicuals to have ranged target with a cast time you lose when you move to get of of not dying. it's straight out poor design."
Every sentence reads in my head as though it's one gargantuan run-on sentence due to what I can only assume is a fear of capital letters... that and a lot of run-on sentences.
It honestly reads like someone who's first language isn't English....I have no clue who that is, got a link?He's posting in various threads around here.

I saw a really poorly worded thread earlier on the overwatch forums, but the guy was pretty open to it which I think garnered him some respect from some people.
Then again, I joined a discord server recently and the kids in there thought I was weird for using things like capital letters or periods.
That was my initial thought, so I take my amusement with a grain of salt, but in the same way it still reads like each post is spoken in a single breath with zero intonation.09/19/2018 12:06 PMPosted by Lazyguide...He's posting in various threads around here.It honestly reads like someone who's first language isn't English.

I hate my phone's camera sometimes.
So, who logged in and found a free flying (but not floating) boat mount?
Just curious.
I use a tablet camera app extensively for my job. At times the autofocus lags horribly making the view look like a movie in slow motion. It's terribly annoying and slows productivity.

Grats on being subscribed for six months at a time. Gets you the free boat mount that 100% should have been the Storm's Wake rep mount instead of yet another gawd awful horse.
Looks killer, though. Bundle it with the parrot and not require the 6 month mega purchase, blizz, and my rapier wielding outlaw rogue will be quite happy. Well, after finding a leather eyepatch and that new tricorne hat.
Can I grump for a bit?
I hate how I have to dodge unpvpmarked NPCs just to get to a quest. How a lot of Kul Tiras WQs involve dodging ranged pvp guards. How dangerous Stormwind is as Horde vs how Alliance can set up feasts and chill in Org. And how the parachute quests are awful, while Alliance can chill out on the docks of Zuldazar.
It really feels incredibly lopsided.
Also I want a black bee tameable.
