Battle.Net App Patch, Netherlight Crucible, Mythic Dungeon Invitational, WoW History

I don't get the upheaval about the Crucible. It's a fine system, and in fact I think people just hate RNG in general which begs the question, why are you playing an RPG game? That's literally the pinnacle of RPG's. RNG = replay value, if the game gave you everything you wanted right away, you'd be done in one week. I'm actually glad they stand by their guns on this one because for me personally it has kept me playing the game. If it has turned you away from the game, then it's not the right game for you. Move on to something new.

Sometimes you have people who you like on your friends list but they don't exactly understand boundaries and that I might want to just do some pet battles or dailies without being asked to do things. I get tired of saying no every day to them without wanting to removed them from my friendslist and completely burn a bridge.

In other words, you'd probably appear offline at all times except for when you either have an actual reason to say no ("sorry, raid time right now") or when you yourself are the one looking for bodies to fill a group. Just guessing here, though.

For my part, my friend list currently has 5 people on it because I only keep people who I talk to beyond the day I add them to my list. Judge that decision how you want, but my opinion is that anyone who's looking forward to this feature has a problem they've had apparently 5 years to address rather than waiting for Blizzard to do it for them.

I'd not use the feature most of the time to be honest, so you're wrong right from the start. Sometimes I log in just do do some dailies etc and don't want to have to talk to anyone at all. Don't "guess" it's not conducive to a productive conversation.

There is nothing I can do that would mimic that feature, removing everyone from my list isn't a measured response, it's a scorched earth response it's unreasonable and would likely burn bridges between those people and myself.


At the end of the day, most other platforms have such a feature and it makes no sense to not want it. If you wouldn't use it, why do you care if it exists? Just don't use it and let me use it, why are you against something like that for any reason other than being a contrarian?

emoji support! glad to know blizzard's hard work and resources are going to useful things!!!

This launcher update also has strings referring to a new "Blizzard Groups" social hub. Seems very Discord-like https://i.imgur.com/MDnwOsO.png

I can, that isn't the point, it's a feature that almost every platform has, there is no logical reason to not want it.

If you don't like it don't use it.

What do you care if anyone chooses to appear offline? Worried that your friend list will be empty? Sounds like a personal problem.

Sounds like you just need to learn more about introversion vs extroversion.

so we have selfies and emojis wahts missing and could be integated in the next xpac?

You guys are so quick to be flippant. It's not a huge problem, but stalking does happen, I witnessed it. And, as a raid leader/officer, we had to have alts that weren't in the guild and secret, so we weren't bombarded constantly with whispers about stupid shit. Or some days, you just wanna farm ore and be left alone.

But you Judgey Mcjudgersons can see a person's entire life and accuse them of horrible things, because...reasons? It's like that scene in Good Will Hunting, when Will judge's Robin Williams entire life over a painting. You guys deserve the same response:

Sean: [sitting on a bench in in front of a pond in park] Thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting. Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me... fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me?
Will: No.
Sean: You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about.
Will: Why thank you.
Sean: It's all right. You've never been out of Boston.
Will: Nope.
Sean: So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart.

I'll sleep really well tonight, and never think of you again. But you keep attacking other posters. Your life must be incredibly miserable for you to lash out over something as simple as this. You may want to consider therapy.

Caring if others are visible to their friends or not is both pathetic and illogical. Good thing you don't really care.

Blizzard's criteria for priorities seems to be all over the place. Emojis are serious business i guess .
The impact of the generational gap is really showing, we get more out of touch millennial incompetence by the day, compared with what we got years ago.

Uhm you realise that this decision would have been made for those working on the Battle.net App and not World of Warcraft right? Completely different teams.

Some emojis on the app aren't suddenly going to bring WoW or any other games development to a halt or slow it down.

"It's been five years and we're still gonna release it "*soon*" ". LOL!

The literally definition of when you should stop using the term soon.

Emojis are cancer

Anyone knows the times for this upcoming event in CET?

1) The times are in PDT because Blizzard Entertainment's North American campus is located in that timezone.

2) http://bfy.tw/E5yO

They pushed a launcher update for fucking emojis??

I hate this world.

It's easy to throw out petty insults when you are strawmanning.

Like me any many other people have said, I wouldn't even heavily use the feature, but if I just want to pop on and do a few dailies and not have to talk to people it would be nice. It's unfathomable that you've never not wanted to talk to people.

Again, you don't have to use the feature, and other people using the feature doesn't affect you in any way. Realistically the only reason someone would disagree with such a feature is because they are one of the people who incessantly pesters people to play with them. You literally are the person everyone regrets adding to their friends list, you're literally the reason people want this feature, it's understandable why you and other people who can't take no for an answer don't want this feature. No one would play with you anymore if it existed.

Wow the mental gymnastics this guy went through to somehow turn a situation favorable to him and then suddenly fail dramatically in the conclusion not even addressing the point in the comment is pretty pathetic.

No wonder why people don't want to play WOW, they have to pay a premium service to put up with people of the likes to you, in both on the forums and in this game.
