no it wasnt and he has proven to u that it wasnt ...

get a better ui then.

Except that he didn't. Going "nuh-uh" is not providing proof of anything. I think I'll lean towards the word and expertise of Blizzard technical developers then the "but nuh-uh man" of some random forum person on what they needed or did not need to do.

The only people who want a stat squish are those incapable of understanding high numbers. Maybe educate yourself instead of insisting the game be dragged down to your level of understanding.

This needs to be at least 10x longer for it to be absurd copy pasta, try again.

Extremely large numbers are unappealing to look at, it has nothing to do with "being educated."

I miss the days of more manageble numbers. I would much rather have damage being in the hundreds with the big hits dealing 1k+, than the millions upon millions we're seeing now.

I completely agree. The numbers just aren't numbers. Back then it was easier to understand and manage. Today with it being in the millions it feels disorganized and out of control. It's a mess.

We were hitting in the 100k's mark in MoP when they deemed it as a must fix. We're now hit in the 1m's. It's going to happen. The fact of the matter is the numbers are so large they are mind-numbing to a majority of the playerbase, therefor a squish is undeniably imminent. It's quite evident that they have been trying to design a future-proofing stat squish system into the game since before WoD. With the scaling technology we see in Legion, it's pretty clear the next expansion will have it incorporated, where damage and percentages are based around character level. I expect them to role us visually back to WotLK-type numbers (at max level) and slowly scale upwards to make us feel slightly more powerful. When Legion becomes the "old" expansion in the near future, I'd like to see it in the TBC numbers range, and WoD and older in the vanilla range. That would feel appropriate to me.

So just because you don´t get higher numbers all the other players should get punished for it?

I just wan´t to use the same argument often brought forth in this forum: WoW is just not your game anymore please quit it would be for the best.

Instead of doing 14051 damage, you do 1405.1M damage. Same number of significant digits. No biggie.

Hahaha! "I can't deal with big numbers! Whaaaa!" Give me a break. What a bunch of bull shit.

Plenty of information on line if you wish to educate yourself.

[Aquinan]

First squish was not needed... A second one is even less called for..

Wrong, it was getting stupid, and is nearing that point again.

[Schizoide]

Wrong. "Megadamage" works fine and they only squished because they faced a technical blocker with 32bit integers and had no choice.

Yeah but I mean how far are we going to go with it? Billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion. I mean where do we draw the line if we aren't going to do a stat squish?

[Deleted]

I'd like to see this too, but that's only going to happen on Elysium, unfortunately.

Aaah, molten core times

Edit: Critting for Graham's number in a few expansions sounds fun as well!

I'd like a stat squish personally. I actually prefer seeing/dealing with smaller numbers.

Nope..

Big numbers are fun, and the majority of the player based days so.

You don't speak for the majority so don't pretend to,

[FuxieDK]

I don't speak for the majority, no..

But I say what everyone knows to be true..

The first stat squish made leveling really weird and it's never been quite the same since. Glad I never have to level again though since I have 11 characters at max level.

[Paperfox]

I'll be happy to see one, sometimes the numbers are so big they're meaningless.

The burden of proof is on the one with the ridiculous claim, so I'll just wait for you to produce it.
