Right? Welcome to modern technology. I’m sorry, but there’s no silver bullet fix to Rocky large-scale product launches short of rolling it out in phases. No amount of testing and QC can simulate a product that ends up pulling in 10 million people in a day.

You do know you used an architecture metaphor to half-ass your point, right?

Literally all three of those options are more-or-less (Heirlooms, purchased level boosts, scaled old content hit in 7.3) in game already.

As someone who owns a 120 year old home, I find your metaphor lacking. My foundation has shown cracks before; I had the cracks repaired instead of burning down the house and building a new one.

Kay, let’s hear ‘em.

Yeah, a month might be a stretch for someone who hasn’t played since MoP. I leveled two of the Horde allied races to 120 since BFA came out (An orc and a Nightborne) pretty quickly, maybe a couple weeks each of casual play.

They have said, in fact. During one of the Blizzcon Q&A’s or developer interviews they said that it would scale down based on a simple formula. They’ll probably just go by whatever percentage of 1-50 your current level is from 1-120 (Say it’s 67, that’s 56% of the way to 120, so you’d probably wind up as level 28…

Not quite.

Disagreed. ARR happened because XIV was an absolute shitshow from the jump. This squish is a great idea, but there's nothing about the game that dictates it needs a ground up redo like FFXIV did.

Do it early though, when all the experienced players are still queueing up. I fear what a late December run would look like...

I remember being 15 and finding out this was just a super peppy version of the Emperor's theme and having my mind fucking blown.

I feel like that's inevitably what we're supposed to be getting from Johnson. The guy is a massive nerd for the Old Republic era.

Hard to credit them too much considering the show went absolutely off the fucking rails the literal second it passed the books.

I really, really hope. I’ve been hyped for his trilogy, especially if it’s either Old Republic or a new not Jedi force user group as hinted in TLJ.

*Ahem*

Can anyone local tell me what LAX is looking like? I’m supposed to be leaving for a work trip in Agoura Hills tomorrow. As it stands, it looks like my commute to my hotel, at a minimum, is going to be a disaster.

I honestly didn’t realize Dallas was blue. I knew about Houston and Austen, but Dallas comes off as a MAGA shithole.

Are you thinking 2013? They got swept out of the ALDS in 2014.

I’d take that same premise in the opposite direction:

Hey, don’t forget Doolittle. Just generally seems like a nice person.
