The true secrets are the friends we ma…… ok is blizzard gone? Good!
So who else thinks the secrets of Azeroth is blizzard influencing more of us to work as a community (by using wowhead after secrets are found) so that they can reduce game masters even more cause less knowledgeable players will start to go there for help.
Oh, insinuating that Blizzard has an ulterior motive to leverage an unpaid third party to cover player support so it can cut more employees was meant to be a positive thread? My mistake.
The secret events they do typically use moon logic or soft rely on datamining. They aren’t designed for a single person to solve. They literally create puzzles intended to stump dedicated puzzle solving discords.
It is not wrong to assume you won’t be able to figure it out for yourself. Have you never seen an ARG before?
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Gaming USED to be about the story and the journey…
Gamers today are all about the fastest speed run time.
Example: For me… the game Ark was a boring mess.
Why?
There was nothing to draw me in, nothing to make me care, no story to follow… just a bunch of dinosaurs running around.
One day I logged in and asked myself “why am I playing this?” logged out, uninstalled, and sighed at all the wasted potential.
I know this is a hot take for the Ark fans… and I wish it wasn’t true for me.
Nice rant. Not sure what it has to do with ARGs and puzzles designed to stump full time puzzle solving communities with tens of thousands of man hours to throw at the problem.
That’s a you problem to figure out. Maybe WoWhead can help you.
I’m sorry that was harsh.
Before there was a sense of accomplishment with overcoming a roadblock in game (given that it was actually possible and a numerical mess that was impossible IE: Cthun)
Now… people have become dependent on someone telling them the answer instead of using their noodle (or noodles… mmmm… noodles) to overcome a mole hill. This is probably due to the ease of finding the solution in seconds.
Once again, I apologize… I haven’t had all my coffee this morning and much like the grizzly… I do not function well in society until I have consumed all of my coffee.
