Just curious. I love reading all of them on reddit constantly.
My favorite is the newest:
They announced 3 expansions at once because Microsoft was buying the company and the WoW team wanted to ensure they had a job for another 6 years, or turn Microsoft into a tyrant who goes back on a companies promise of content.
I think they break professions on purpose. They give their homies the heads up that Vellums are going down or that Azureweave can be duplicated so that said homies can make money.
I once read a story about some dev who grinded achievements when they came out, bet everyone he had the most points, and only got beat out by the dude who programmed the achievement points. That is the basis of my theory. Devs can manipulate whatever they work on to their or their homie’s benefit and these hyperspecific economic disruptions seem… off.
The constant “sales” are a good indicator the current expansion didn’t sell too well behind the scenes, and DF has had “sales” left and right
From what I remember, DF was on sale for “50% off” mere months after release, and subsequent “sales” were unusually (…suspiciously?) frequent - seemed to be a flashsale every 2 months or so
For context, in previous expansions having a “50% off sale” on the current expansion was like “a rare treat” and it was like a once-a-year thing… having them happen every 2-3 months definitely feels unprecedented
Ironically, him being on the Community Council might actually cause some changes/player requests to be added to the game … in contrast to the “mere mortal” Community Council’ers that just get ignored/pissing in the wind
Due to his popularity and “streamer privilege” and such, the devs would be backed into a corner of sorts… they would be “forced” to write Blue-posts in any feedback threads he posts just due to the sheer # of eyeballs/viewers following him around
For example, if he was in there and made a post requesting account-wide reputation I bet they would just add it as a quick hotfix the next Tuesday rather than waiting til the next expansion
Back when the CC was first invented, some players wanted Asmongold to join. I don’t know if the thread still exists, but previous CC members stated there were HUNDREDS of messages stating just that.
I put that bomb there for a reason, and you immediately primed it.
I’ve only heard rumors that Asmongold wanted to angle the way Mythic+ was being delivered. Also, when he had that interview with Ion, they were discussing bringing master loot back.
Hey I’d believe that one, I mean we did see a big shortage of those farming bots when Dragonriding was the only way to find the really good nodes…now we got normal flight back and the bots are slowly creeping back
