Astralporing.1957 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 So, you're saying that it's completely normal for casuals to use third-party sites - and more normal than for hardcores to do the same.Ok, i'm done here. I understand that this is 1st of April, but that's way too much of a joke for me to take in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Mike Z even said that they are going to put more emphasis on repeatable content because having unique assets and mechanics in a story instance that players play only once (or even not once) is a total waste of resources.Drms and strikes have been pmuch this tho i wonder if this is smth thats gonna stick around post ibs or if it will get the raids treatment.

Oh I don't necessarily believe it was the reason they stopped, but rather when they were making raids there were comments by the developers that the asset design was a large piece of it.

artharon.9276 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 we should have a new raid regardless of a new expansion release, especially a raid that give especs like scrappers, spellbreakers, necro specs and all unused professions a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not against Raid but I will be avoiding it unless lfg system gets better. I don't like toxic environment when I am just trying to play game.

Well, that seems unlikely, given that raids aren't designed to get specific especs favoured play or to give them 'a job'. Edited July 27, 2021 by Obtena.7952 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoGold.7126 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It should have multiple new raids and to be fair they should actually ban the raid sellers as they kill raids as much as toxicity does. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especs DO have 'a role they fulfill' in every mode because nothing stops you from playing whatever you want in this game and fulfilling the role you made that build for. The game doesn't tell you your role by it's design of an encounter ... YOU do by how you create the builds you play.  Existence of bannerslaves is nothing more than proof that the game has meta; optimal builds that people play to obtain highest performance. That's always existed. That doesn't mean failure at all. That's what any intelligent player would expect in a multi-class game with such open-ended solutions to the PVE content.  So yeah, I do know what I'm talking about ... because the game has worked like that since the start. Edited July 31, 2021 by Obtena.7952 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
