Default Sweet Wow Drama

Im enjoying this wow drama.

What happened: PirateSoftware, a know it all streamer triggered his FLIGHT mode during a bad pull and was unable to switch back to his fight mode when his guild called for it.

Raid Instance:



Pirate accepts no responsibility:



Community discussion:



I think it's hilarious.

xQc is right, hardcore does reward cowards more than hero's just like IRL! I wonder if there is a fix for that? Maybe a hardcore mode that ranks you based on dps/tanking vs spying from the back avoiding agro...

Pirate hardcore endgame raiding like:

Yeah he’s garbage

He roached out like a little bitch. He had more than enough mana to run up and nova everything (only boss would resist) buying his group a LOT of space to run. He also could have nova’d again when the cooldown came back

Rule of thumb: When shit hits the fan and you are oom or close to oom your prioritize your mana for CC. And ONLY CC. So many bad players try to run, dps, or heal then sit there dumbfounded staring at their empty mana bar as they get clowned into the dirt. When someone calls run, you CC. And mages are one of the best classes in the game at protecting a group’s escape with ice nova’s and sometimes r1 blizzard if mana permits

The ONLY mistake made by the rest of the group was to call a run and then try to turn and fight. If they committed to the fight without calling the run, it was winnable

But that mage is dogshit. And anyone who is supporting him is wrong, even if that is Asmongold

^
For additional context, this is hardcore mode so the mage’s mistakes got most of his group member’s max level characters permakilled

permadeath should be the standard now, so much easier to balance a game around that and it removes the need to make 30 expansions and increase the level cap to 120 like live had to do.

took the industry 20 years to figure out something that was common knowledge in 1974

Id love to know what the timeline would be like had the origional EQ be exactly the same, except a roguelike with permadeath.

That literally would have had a major impact on my life Im not sorry to say, for the better or worse, idk! I'd love to experience that timeline though. Imagine that. I cried when I lost an item in PVP and was ashamed of myself for that but imagine losing a whole character.. god I wish I knew what that would have been like for me.

Random observation: WoW looks really weird to me now graphically. It's not quite old enough yet to get a pass for the way it looks like EQ or Mario 1 is, it's kinda stuck between eras. Looks like a PS2 or Gamecube game.

EQ looks like an N64 game with a somewhat higher poly count so my brain just goes ohhh okay this is old, it's fine.

I just heard the best take on elon musk H1B support, asmongold said it's because he wants to get his gold farmers into the USA so he wont get IP address conflicts and get his account flagged.
