9.0 General Discussion

[razorpax]

Have you ever been in LFR? That's the highest most players aspire to according to Blizzard, and the vast majority of people in LFR is barely even fit for it. Most of them don't even visit WoW forums, official or otherwise, never mind anything more specialised.

Alternately, go take a look at the unique user numbers of those sites, then compare them to reasonable estimates of the userbase. The latter is several times bigger.

DemonDays is the one making claims with no real evidence here.

heres one thing about lfr

my buddy got back into the game and only caps then clears lfr not because tahts the highest he wants but because its the highest he can go

also lets keep in mind the fact that blizzard thinks players wanted master loot gone and that players wanted the GCD change and players wanted the weekly cache to work the way it did at launch and that players want an ilvl restriction with trading and that players want to regrind to unlock the same azerite traits they had on gear of a lower ilvl and they want unique stats on gear to disappear and they want flying heavily gated until the .2 patch and they want gear that has no end point and to be infinitely grindable

yeah blizzard has a great track record with amazing results

god damn it they really do want rng damage to be a thing...damage variance doesnt need to exist.....fuckin preach tellin ion "we want to compete and rng stops that" pissed him off and now hes adding more

[Alanar]

I think it's more of a concern of "Kyrian is best for raids but Venthyr is better for PvP" or "Necrolord is great for this really hard raid boss but the next progression boss after it, it's bad while Night Fae is the best"

That is a huge problem imo...but will likely be on purpose to give every class,spec, covenant, race what ever to be strong in a certaint part of the game, it works in theory I guess...
But the hard facts are that one will be better then the rest and that makes it unfun.

[TheFirstOnes]

That is a huge problem imo...

In your opinion? That's a terrible thing in general. Imagine having to switch covenants for different bosses or PVP, but because a Covenant gets harder to come back to, at a certain point, the shit becomes impossible to switch...

Oh god. Fuck that. Would make SL seem even worse than BFA.

[Alanar]

We might get a build this week actually. New blue post about upcoming build. Post usually happens when a new build is this week.

Noticed that to, maybe we will..

Wording it lightly, because some may nog agree. Shrug I had a pretty long conversation with some one yesterday..

Some parts are realy on purpose.. and thats how blizz wants the game to run.. it sucks.

In a perfect world all covenants will be good at all.. yea thats never gonna work, it will become stale and boringbI guess.

I wish we dont need to choose very carefully if you wish to focus on pvp or pve, without harsh restrictions when you want to switch.

Whelp...beta build detected. Maybe we are still getting one this week!

Either it is later today or they are bold (mad?) enough to do a build on a raid testing day?

[Hammerzeit]

They've done it many times during the BFA beta.

[Hyrja]

WoWhead already datamining it on Twitch

[FenixAU]

It'll be today. It's your typical patch day, they made a post mentioning an upcoming build, and I sincerely doubted they were going to do raid testing on the current build (as I said previously, it's fairly unstable). There were only a few times during Legion and BFA betas where they did raid testing without a build that week.

[therumblings]

Any new invites gone out?

[Hammerzeit]

Any new invites gone out?

Been checking my client. Nothing yet and have been checking twitter to see if anyone posted about new invites.

[gunner_recall]

Any new invites gone out?

Invites got sent out Monday but if they're launching a new build it's possible we might see some more today.

Here's hoping

[FenixAU]

If they want adequate raid testing this week, there's gonna be more invites today.

Well, you'd think so. There's bugger all people online on beta most of the time, and most guilds haven't received any invites.

We must praying to the Beta Lords.

I'm subbing to Ion's OnlyFans

[Valeria]

Anymore invites gone out yet? And has the update gone out?

[MadamSerenity]

According to Twitter, a new wave is going out now. Hope I eventually get in!

Nice, hopefully they do two waves each week. More frequent but smaller waves would be pretty clutch.

[AliceCattx]

Another wave, another lack of an invite lol.

[Dracullus]

It's random wave or directed at people from top mythic guilds?
