Right, the excuse they’ve provided is hilariously stupid. In a group DM talking literally about bringing women to your suite, your Cosby suite, in fairly obviously sexist ways...they named it that and had a picture of Cosby at the ready because of the décor.

To some extent yes, and I still expect the covenant/soul bind/conduit system to be a mess at actual launch. But lately that’s where most of the concern has been in previous expansions in my experience. Systems that are poorly thought out, poorly tuned, poorly implemented.

Thank god...this expansion is so busted it would have been insulting to release it in this state or put this team under significant crunch to deliver.

I suppose, note to CDPR...the feedback to this has been overwhelming positive in the short 30 minutes since the announcement. People that were going to play Shadowlands…

It feels very much like these studio heads just can’t accept pushing the release back, at all. It’s crazy considering customer push back is almost non-existent in that space, but push back on crunch is high. Pushing release dates seems like a fairly strong win/win with only some short term financial pain (probably?)

I think in this particular case, both of you are right. Like anything, people should do their due diligence when buying something that feasibly should be usable for the next 5-8 years and has this sort of cost associated it with it. So proper research in terms of catalog, specs, what’s important to them, etc. and know…

Good call on the chariots and assassins. Chariots are hilarious in actual battles, just absolutely tearing through pretty much anything like tissue paper.

As someone that cleared most of the content during Vanilla (never got 4HM, Sapph or KT) what sticks out to me about Classic is that it is so a relic of its time.

Expectations are a meaningful thing and they should be. Calling something “Reforged” and committing to that by changing things but then simply providing a “Remaster” is shady practice. If all you wanted was a Remaster, you’re probably not disappointed.

Funny enough sometimes it flips the script and makes it too easy. I’ve had a few occasions where I die once on an encounter then when I go back the enemies have respawned but don’t do anything.

The amount of time my guild put into BGs last week was disgusting. People hitting 600-700k honor in a week and getting rank 4. My body and my mind can’t handle that like it could 15 years ago.

Agreed, and frankly Blizzard is blowing their wad here a bit. The release schedule is currently in hyper speed and they’ll run out of content within a year. I can’t imagine people will want to continue playing Classic once all the raids are cleared (again) and all the professions are maxed (again) and all the PVP…

World of Warcraft Classic being an absolute subscription powerhouse for the second half of 2019.

Not to mention that, by kneeling, officially you’re “giving yourself up” and thus losing 2 yards anyway unless you dive forward. So this 41 yarder was going to be a 39 yarder and could have been even closer.

It plays every time you scroll by, even if you’ve already stopped it X number of times! It is insane

Actually, when paired with Drew’s post yesterday, you get some solid insight into how the “machine” that is the NFL just degrades the human qualities of their product over time.

I’ve been reading Drew’s stuff for a decade and a half and “they’re a big hole filled with shit” might be the best insult I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

I watched the first 5 seasons, started to watch season 6 and just couldn’t do it. Season 4 was obviously the low point of the first 5 seasons, but seasons 3-5 all started to get very repetitive with filler and when season 6 went back to the well as it related to Oliver’s development and behavior I just couldn’t. Glad…

I think you’re right, mostly because who else could it be and Morgan only really racked up her goals against Thailand.

It is undoubtedly a real dumb controversy. In fact you could argue it will (maybe already has started) to backfire. It takes a real issue that women dealt with (and still deal with to this day) and then chosen not to believe that it happened because easily explained inconsistencies. Way to fire up female voters by…

I mean, Trump hasn’t truly been challenged in a meaningful way his whole life until he ran for and became President. Of course he caves, all he wants is people to like him. That’s why he ramps up his attacks on Democrats because they are faceless to him, but the screaming fans that love every minute of it are not.…
