Ripcord, essentially pulled

Yeah, that’s a fair evaluation of what I’d just said. You’re not being dramatic at all. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Because that’s literally what the “whining” was about.

But don’t worry your little head, nothing was nerfed, you’re getting your math equation. The system is completely intact.

As I’ve already stated, and as you’ve already agreed, the systems have changed multiple times.

I mean, if you can’t trust your own words, who can you trust? :wink:

Always makes me chuckle when people claim ‘victory’ when what they wanted wasn’t even granted.

Shuffling around talents and changing abilities so they aren’t game breaking =/= the systems changing.

You’re still getting a Covenant choice, it still comes with a class specific ability, they’re still not balanced, you still have Soulbinds, you still have Conduits with 15 ranks to grind out, and you still have restrictions on how many times you can adjust it before you’re stuck with your stuff for a while.

Same system as day 1.

If your knowledge about these things is so limited, then why should your opinion matter to anyone?

I’m in Beta dude. I’ve actually played with the system. I can log on right now and see that it’s 100% intact.

Meta losers always kill the fun in a game. At this point why even be subbed or play this xpac. People are so over the top these days when it comes to this game I honestly have to wonder how they even function as a person.

Again, wasn’t my point. Also, it has changed. I don’t know why we’re having this conversation, seems a bit pointless. You don’t seem like the kind of person that can follow a conversation super well anyways. :man_shrugging:

I always wonder if these are blizzard employees, saying the ‘community’ gets a victory seems to make a lot of people happy regardless if it is true or not.

The system is 100% intact from day 1. That some tuning was done, some abilities were shuffled around and some effects were modified doesn’t mean the system changed at all, or that the broken choice between “Aesthetic and story” vs “Player power” isn’t fully intact.

Macro vs micro changes. Easy concept to understand.

I can follow it fine, I’m just telling you you’re upset at something that literally did not happen.

You’re literally yelling at people for something they didn’t do.

let me describe some of the changes then claim nothing was changed. Let me also not talk about the modes of acquisition or the gating.

Again, my point was about people going on a crusade against things they don’t like, badgering Blizzard until they see change, and the negative consequences of that change. You keep trying to tell me what my point was when it’s right up there in print. Might as well scroll up, because no you can’t follow a conversation.

Me making a point about hypothetical people insinuates that they do or don’t exist, what are you even trying to say? We know this sort of thing happens, so my point is valid. Good god.

-e please

Again, you seem to misunderstand Micro vs Macro changes. The system works the same it always has at the system level. Particularly abilities getting tuning and adjustments doesn’t change the mechanics of the global system.

But nothing was changed at all. Blizzard didn’t change the system.

Oh now your whole rant was “hypothetical”. So you’re finally understanding that Blizzard hasn’t done a thing to your precious system, that’ll have to be completely gutted by 9.2 because of how much people will complain their Covenant choice is based on a guide for their class, rather than an actual RP element they wanted.

There is a lot of truth here. Imagine how much less stressed and happier the general population would be if damage meters and parsers did not exist, and people just played the game while devs balanced the game in the background.

This thread cracks me up. You got this 1 grp whining about the Meta grp and yet they are running the meta build to the letter.

Again, if you have no knowledge about the systems being changed, then why would anyone take you seriously?

I kind of feel like you’re a contrarian troll. I’m probably pretty spot on with that.

Also, 9.2 is like a year away, after they’ve introduced what ever new raid and story content they will. This means that the story will dramatically shift away from these systems anyways. The shifts away from these systems (though not completely) take place in every expansion, SL won’t be an exception, but it will happen for ease of access, not because of complaints(though the original model of shifting away, was born from player complaints). I’m not talking about things shifting over time, I’m talking about a system being altered from Blizzard’s intended manifestations before it is introduced.

I’m in the Beta, for the 100th time. I know about all the changes that happened. None of them have affected how the overall system works.

Funny, I get the same impression. You keep talking about this great big “change” that happened, that somehow I’m oblivious to even though I’ve played through all the Beta changes of the past months, but when cornered because it’s you who apparently got caught by the OP’s troll, you move your goalposts to “well, maybe it hasn’t changed yet, but it could!”.

My god man, I’m only trying to get you to calm down and point out the OP was trolling you so you don’t get caught up in it.

Yeah, and it’s always because of player backlash. Ever since they started these kinds of systems in Legion.

Maybe they’ll learn one day.

Id agree with you if Blizzard was proactive in balancing classes but they are not. This is a company that will wait til the end of a tier and buff a spec 30% across the board because the damage is miserable. An you don’t need a Damage Meter to figure that out especially if your playing another spec and u see its a 10 sec kill diff…

Ripcord meant being able to change your covenant ability and conduits when ever not have useless weak covenant abilities.

You responded to me.

I did clarify that I was talking about hypothetical changes that could take place because of public outcry, you’ve even acknowledged this multiple times, so I don’t know why you keep saying that. It’s like the conversation goes on and then you revert back to twenty minutes ago.

No, I believe that was your point.

Oh, like ~

If you knew anything about Blizzard dev history, you’d know that this isn’t new. But again, you don’t know much about much. :smile:
