Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

Speaking of WoW I’m actually looking forward to coming back for proper RP on Wednesday.
My Highmountain will finally look how he should, and my Illidari warlocks (played by void elves) will look awesome with red and ginger hair.

The decision to change the campaign skip to just getting all 3 soulbinds confuses me still.

I’m 90% sure you can turn it off somewhere in the settings.

Again, I think you’re reading way too much malice into it where there’s none.

Then go to youtube and search for the advance wars’s sensei theme.

That’s solely :poop:posting on my part and if the game is offering you what you want right now, then that’s cool. I hope you didn’t take my orc song memeing as serious, I’m just joking around with you and if you did take it seriously then I apologize. Music is highly subjective and I don’t mean to demean anyone’s tastes. I’ll say the same thing about New World, if you enjoy that despite the current flaws or the flaws don’t apply to the parts of the game you’re interested in then that’s very cool and you should spend your time how you want.

That said, WoW hasn’t gave people much positive to talk about as of late and it’s only natural that people are going to want to discuss this new thing they found with other members of a community that they’ve invested years into.

If you don’t like the current conversation, you can always start your own though. Post RP screenies, those are cool to see.

I had completely forgotten about this and am in fact commenting on months of this sort of thing, now

I am very happy that you are all very happy with the final fantastimento game or whatever but it’s genuinely insane how much its fanbase is aggressive in pushing to constant conversation about it literally everywhere, on any platform, in any community at any given time;

i hate the antichrist

Screen Violence by CHVRCHES is my album of the year so far.

Thank you Hideo Kojima for introducing me to them via Death Stranding.

You forgot to include God-King Yoshi-P and how he’s simply the greatest man to have ever walked the Earth because he plays the game on stream and he’s one of us!

All :poop: posting aside from my end, I’d still be playing WoW if it was B2P like ESO. I still RP with friends in ESO despite the fact that the last time I enjoyed ESO, was around 2017.

WoW for the past year or so has offered very little to its customers who have paid for this privilege of around €100-150 euro’s, depending on how you remain subbed to this game.

There are numerous reasons why I no longer play WoW despite the fact that I would like to RP. However, even the RP side of things has held less value to me due to the abhorrent state of the lore.

And then we have the abhorrent state of the company, and the state of the game itself with its systems, 50 mount re-skins, horrendous community, PvE rife with boosting, etc. If people still enjoy WoW, by all means, enjoy it. But don’t act strange when people act vicious about it, or when they are bashing the game/company. WoW has been part for a good 10 years of my life, and to see it fall into the abyss… yeah.

Do realize that we’d rather not be :poop: posting about WoW at all. If the game wasn’t terrible and didn’t had the criminals and lazy creeps working there I think we’d be far happier this way.

I don’t relish bashing on the game either, nonetheless much about it is unforgivable, their principles and posturing are utterly vomit inducing when you see how it all turned out. If WoW and the team handling it had just some level of decency, we wouldn’t be here.

Yeah I get you, it’s not fun having what you source of entertainement or parts of it you still enjoy being mocked, but I wouldn’t take it that personal my friend, until someone makes it personal and not about just the game.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

… Critical Role.

I understand your frustration, believe me.

I no longer play WoW either and think it’s in a poor state. I just think it’s absolutely tiresome to constantly see people shoving their exceptionally boring catboys in my face and telling me that I, too, must enjoy it because it’s much better than X, Y, Z and so and so and so and so and so in literally every corner of the internet

It’s moreso frustrating than tiresome when people go OH YEAH WELL IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN DON’T SAY YOU DON’T LIKE IT ON THIS FORUM WHERE I DO NOTHING BUT TALK ABOUT HOW BAD I THINK THE FORUM’S SUBJECT IS AS OPPOSED TO THIS OTHER THING BTW HERE’S MY CATBOY again and again and again and again and again [x10]

at least Sam Riegel is somewhat funny every now and then (as I will explain in-depth on my podcast, which you can find on…)

Worshipping anyone is 200% cringe and it’s 300% if it’s borderline obsession. That said, it’s not hard to see why the community is so taken aback by him. People want to see this stuff from the WoW team and (boost selling aside) Mike is definitely taking steps in the right direction. I hope he conducts the future interviews rather than Ion, because the Preach interview with him was genuine cringe and the man has negative charisma. He ruins the vibe just by being there.

100% this too. People don’t want to be dissatisfied with the game. I reckon all of us here are adults and a lot of us have spent years investing time into this game, getting to max level for the first time. Discovering RP, investing even more time into the story of your character and then feel the love for all that gradually erode away because the state of the game and the company degrades your experience. I loved this game as a kid, man. I have some tacky merch from Wrath that’s awful but has sentimental value now.

The game’s nostalgic for a lot of people and they don’t want to see it crumble the way it has been. For a lot of people this game really makes people think of a simpler time where they didn’t have to worry about their job, health or bills.

Interesting video for you folks too. The stuff they mention is pretty evocative of feelings for WoW too.

What even is Critical Role? I get stuff in my youtube recommended about it all the time, including some… animated series in the works? Is this the next Squid Game? The show of the month?

okay now we are enemies

it’s a series of D&D sessions played by voice actors and other professionals basically

As I understand it, it’s a group of famous voice actors playing DnD.

Apparently they are pretty good at it, but still, I’d rather do than watch when it comes to RP.

casts afaik rotate a bit but its voice actors like matt mercer, laura bailey, sam riegel, travis willingham, talliesen jaffe, liam o’ brien and recently robbie daymond bless his soul.

im not a big fan because i cannot watch something longer than ten minutes without zoning out but some people are near religious about it

Having watched some of their stuff, it’s perfectly enjoyable to listen in on while doing something work related. That said some people do seem to treat it as though it’s the pinnacle of what D&D can and should be, which… I mean to each their own.

I unironically take zero issue with this and I think people are crazy for making it into some kind of problem.

They should be cleaning up the spam in LFG, though. I haven’t used it since Legion but the raid side of it especially is like watching TV. You gotta stop halfway through to get through the adverts. I see people say they should do the same for Trade chat but honestly anything in /2 has been worthless since the dawn of time.
