who else is kinda disappointed that the shadow force enchant doesnt have the same animation as twlight devastation. such a cool animation just kinda gone. 
talking about the animation of certain corruptions folks, not corruption powers themselves

It was fun and powerful but I don’t want it back. Corruption is a thing of the past and I’m happy about it

I miss it too and doing 30 Tank Raids with it. Best time raiding ever.
I miss my Mastery stat amps. Stat stacking was the most fun in BFA. So many possible builds.

Corruption was incredibly broken and never should have existed in the way it did.

Corruption was bonkers, I had like 30% haste on one character I think. I assume they will recycle those animations eventually, probably just not in the very next expansion. If you pay close attention to the game over time they recycle models and effects constantly, and it makes sense, less data that the server needs to worry about.
I’m not a tech guy so that last sentence may have come directly from my butt.
It was a neat ‘‘ANIMATION’’ [which some people are missing the point of said post lol… but with how flashy SL animations are still sometimes, I’m kinda glad these aren’t re-used. [my laptop lives another day that way heheh]

You do know that is what makes RPG games fun right.
People were getting 80% haste.
I had at the peak 12k Mastery and was block capped on my Prot Pal. Between all mastery sockets, Azerite mastery on use, enchants, all 12% amps. It was beautiful and allowed me to do naughty things. Just a great time and hope we get something that powerful again.

Hard disagree. I prefer balance. Even in something like Octopath Traveler, I -hate- how endgame strats just boil down to cheesing things with broken ability combinations.

The corruptions were fun once you had them set up.
The positive negative trade offs were horrible. Never ending run out circle nag.
Good for bad designs don’t seem to work. This good or that good works, but good for bad is just adding a bad and in order to make it worth adding the bad the good has to be overpowered. And if the good is overpowered then it’s not a choice, you just have to deal with the bad.
Corruptions spoiled me so hard I still feel like a newborn kitten 9 months into Shadowlands. RIP.

Balance isn’t fun though. When someone says they want Balance I picture someone sitting in a rocking chair knitting Christmas ornaments on a hot summer day.
Where I prefer to be an Overpowered God Killer.

OP garbage is more appropriate in single player games where people can opt to play less efficiently if they want and not be gimped because of it.
That’s not how multiplayer games play out. You choose to play less efficiently and you’re bad and no one wants you in their groups.
That, and in higher end content, I’m looking for a challenge to overcome. I don’t want a system to be so blatantly OP that the challenge is less than it normally would be.
yea i am also broken from corruptions.
I build my protection paladin around a haste build with twilight destation and by god those days were glorious.

I disagree, it was fun because it was broken. Sometimes it’s better to remember that his is a video game and meant to be enjoyed. Being broken is fun. I want my 90% vers back!!

Being broken -can- be fun, but it’s not what I’m looking for here.
Make it a key moment, like a final cinematic-esque phase of a final boss fight. Sure. Let us go wild in that way. But what they did, particularly once they added the vendor so we could just stack whatever, was totally break any remaining semblance of balance (especially in player power vs content) for… several months. Was it a year, even? Might’ve been.
That’s too much. It’s not what I’m looking for in any game. I’m glad I was done with my progression before that patch hit.
I loved corruptions… and TD.
Hilarious moment on my Prot Warrior sporting TD6… running Brewfest dungeon event… mobs turned red, I hit TC, TD proc, dungeon over… LOL… one shot the place. 2 of the DPS, nor the healer even registered on the logs. Good times.
