Homies in the BG with 19k HP

Feels kind of weird this late in the season to see so many people with 20k~ HP in BG

These players just get crushed in 3 globals and are pretty much wasting a player slot. (no offense, its not their fault, they r just trying to play the game, prob have limited time)

Its kind of sad that they have to grind 100k+ honor just to get a set of 197 gear that still sucks bawlz and they still get nuked in.

Blizzard is there any plans to shrink the gear gap in 9.1? This giant gear gap is not fun for new players or alts.

their current plans are to increase the gap but make pvp gear worse in pve.

Don’t forget nerfing MMR so it’s even harder for people to get. Lol Blizzard is cracked.

don’t forget completely ignoring the forums, reddit, the PTR, and endless pages of player feedback in favor of listening to toxic 3s elitists in class discords.

I have 4 characters all who completed the campaign and grinded a bit of anima through dungeons and a few daily quests. It’s a much easier path to grind the covenant armor with vers stats up to 197 and fill in the blanks with honor gear.

I rarely see any useful feedback on here. I don’t blame them for not listening

thats good for ya.
but what about a potential customer who has zero interest in any pve content and also has very limited time to play?

telling them to just do that boring campaign crap is a quick way to make them unsub.

Then WoW is not the game for him if he doesn’t want to do at least some chores on his way to building character power. It is what it is.

And make pve gear worse in pvp, thereby making it even harder for new players and alts to compete.

well hey, i guess thats fine… its blizzards game and they can do what they want, but alienating a lot of potential customers just to make it grindy seems like a silly move to me

yeah i mean idk if they just overdid it with the numbers but im sure that it’s not their intention to push customers away. Micro-transactions in the store must be good enough that they haven’t looked at the tediousness of the grinding process.

not really true, currently if you are a 2400+ player doing 3s, you really dont see any of the issues in pvp that are driving casuals away, everyone at 2400+ is the same ilvl. not only that, spells that are mainly useful in casual bgs and not arena get asked to be removed by the elitists because they think they are useless because they see nothing past the arena wall.

plenty of feedback from the unhappy players about why they are unhappy. the problem is blizzard thinks listening to the 0.01% of the playerbase that is happy is going to make everyone else happy. hint: it won’t.

Very satisying when a player with over 30k hp DOESNT kill you and instead dies. Rest of the game they are on you like crazy though. Love it.

Speaking of those .01%ers, I notice the AWC only been getting like 8-11k viewers recently… and we’re talking on a weekend, during primetime, during COVID.

And of course, like 70-80% of the chat room has just been a constant “waterfall” of “soloQ” spam from the viewers.

…meanwhile the MDI streams have been consistently getting 18-25k+ viewers when I tuned into them. For comparison, I remember AWC streams regularly getting 28-30k+ viewers during BFA.

Never thought I would see MDI having more viewers than an AWC broadcast… but here we are :woozy_face:

I mean,… it’s an MMO. I’ve yet to play one where you don’t have to put a lot of time into it to be viable.

That’s because WoW is a relatively unpopular e-sport game and it’s been on a steady decline for years. There’s 10x more people viewing ‘Just Chatting’ on Twitch than there are people watching some of the best WoW streamers in the world.

I’ve been gearing a mage alt, and at least as a caster I know I have an opportunity to position myself correctly and strategically cc to add something to the game, even if I couldn’t 1v1 for anything. I can’t imagine how hard it is for melee alts or new mains.

lol. Sometimes I believe they are. Their communication is lacking and their ability to do the exact opposite of what players want is out of this world.

PLAYERS -WE WANT ORANGES !

bLIZZ -HERE ARE SOME RADISHES !

I’ve always laughed at the idea that Blizzard is the programmer spouse in the following joke:

Someone sends their programmer spouse to the store because they want a loaf of bread. On the way out, they says, “and if they have eggs, get a dozen.” The programmer spouse returns with twelve loaves of bread, and goes “they had eggs!”

Technically, we get what we ask for. It’s just very obviously not what we were wanting :joy:
