The legacy playerbase is a lot smaller than people give it credit for, especially the number of them who’d actually resub - remember that a lot of the people who play on private servers do it primarily because it doesn’t cost money, and Nostalrius was the biggest so that’s one of the main draws for that kind of…

What are you talking about? It was a PS2 game.

76 is probably one of the best designed characters in the game. Not because he does anything particularly special, but his entire existence is an extended tutorial to onboard the COD/BF market and I think that’s an amazing design choice on Blizzard’s part. He doesn’t really have counters or counter others, and he’s…

Doing Azulongmon’s work right there, you are.

In 2016, where “fair use” and “cease and desist” are phrases as common as any genre classification, how do gamers not understand that Blizzard (in this case, it’s literally any IP rights holder though) legally doesn’t have the option to ignore these things without weakening other claims? Do people really think that…

Same! Happy shared birthday, stranger!

As an aside: If anyone’s after particularly rare OLD things, launch week is basically the best time to do it. This includes mounts like Time-Lost Proto Drake (in Storm Peaks), Aeonaxx (in Deepholm) or Poseidus (in Vashj’ir, gross) or hunter pets, particularly spirit beasts since they’re the most camped. If anyone’s…

Most of my pre-Legion experience is going to be half-assedly levelling alts knowing that I’ll have to entirely relearn them when the new expansion comes out. I want to play a Priest but Discipline is hybrid DPS instead of mitigation healer, and even Balance Druid, my other “I want to play this” is changing…

I think I’d like all of the above listed as on/off options. The one thing I do unequivocally support is healthpacks being refilled on warp. While keeping an eye out for them is part of the challenge, having to hunt for them just isn’t that fun and takes away from the core gameplay which is supposed to be dashing,…

More of a quirk than an outright strategy I’d argue, most Hanzos take advantage of the dragon going through walls, and while Genji’s job is just as much sniper-killer as it is anything else, I think most Hanzo ults will continue to mostly be used as surprise attacks through terrain.

He’s talking about the ledes, not the headlines.

Heads up - levelling is going to SUCK once you hit 60 and Burning Crusade content unless you solely want to grind dungeons. Outland and Northrend were passed over on the Cataclysm revamp, so while the 1-60 and 80-100 levelling experiences are fairly streamlined, 60-80 is a godforsaken slog through clearly dated…

Without sounding pedantic, all pets were changed to be statistically identical so the bit about bears having more armor/HP is a bit misleading. They also all have free access to all three pet talent trees with Ferocity/Tenacity/Cunning as needed, so generalist PVE levelling can be done with just about any pet.

The strike is cool, I admittedly wasn’t aware of the story missions, and ultimately PoE revamp doesn’t sound like it’s new enough to really be considered a new activity entirely. It just sounds like appeasement rather than a proper update - I want Destiny to be good but either Bungie is bad at keeping things updated…

Can we really consider a light level adjustment and some new gear a “major content update” though? We had a raid each in vanilla and Dark Below, and I was willing to accept House of Wolves as mostly filler before Taken King, but the idea that we haven’t had a single one since King’s Fall is... a bit silly, frankly.…

Well I mean, the titular technology exists primarily to usher in a galactic-scale extinction event. So... Trump is here to screw us all over?

...And if so, is Commander Sanders the one guy that everybody refuses to listen to despite the fact that the Council is clearly playing favourites and ignoring everything he has…

Had to beat the first boss on a single pip of health because I was wrapping up a stream and I refused to backtrack just to go through all of it again. 10/10 would recommend, the pride I felt toppling that bastard was so worth it.

All in all there’s McCree, Lucio, Widowmaker, Genji, 76, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, Mercy, Hanzo, Reaper, Junkrat, Zarya, and Pharah. That’s over half the cast of ~20 characters, and Genji/Widowmaker got some more screentime than most because Widowmaker is a sniper (which will literally always be the most popular in…

Dancers maybe, erotic dancers of either sex, not so much.

Is “libel per se” a legitimate charge? Because man that’s the least official-sounding charge ever.
