  1. World of Warcraft whine...

    So I have been playing #Blizzards #Wow because #addiction

    But when I said "play" I mean log in once in a while, join some LFG Raids, maybe run some instances on alts. If I am feeling particurarily masochistic, run a +Mythic.

    But Blizzard is constantly hiring and firing people, and each new lead has to fucking impring their ideas on the game.

    And so. In the new expansion;
    1) They gated the expansion behind the last strory line. If you have not done all their stupid lore quests to admire their stupid 'content'. You are phased out from doing the expansion.

    2) I log in today, and the main capital where you previously could fly in, is retrospecively gated behind a PATHFINDER quest, which is a long arse quest to enable flight...
    I have never bothered with the pathfinder quests because they are just stupid make work quests for a feature that should be basic.

    So yeah, after years of playing #WOW, #Blizzard may have actually have gotten closer than ever to have me quit the game.
    I could use the spare 137GB on my primary boot drive.

    Wow, impressive.
    Thank you Blizzard for looking after my welfare.

    File this under filthy casual tears.

    P.S. Oh yeah, as I was going through my sceenshots... the bastards force name change my Ice Mage character "Frostitute", goddamned puritan cunts.

  4. What happened with #TheWarWithin ? The first patch was great, engaging, dramatic, largely annoying gimmick free, good content for all kinds of player. Everything since hasn't been bad exactly, but a bit blah. I'm currently on a suspended subscription, paying for the odd month to catch up with gold, but unless the upcoming Midnight launch really grabs me I can see me bowing out for a while... #WorldOfWarcraft

  5. I was just playing through the Dalaran scenario when the husband came down to visit, so I tied him to the chair and made him watch [censored].

  6. I never really did Visions of N'Zoth back in BfA - IIRC they were gated with keys, and I wasn't up for the grind (plus I found them too hard for my gear level). I'm not sure if it is modern itemisation (yay - set bonuses for all!) or that the lack of keys means you can start filling out the bonuses tree earlier, but I'm actually rather enjoying them this time. Hard enough that I can't faceroll through them first time, but easy enough to progress. I've already managed to clear both corrupted areas and one of the lost areas in Orgrimmar... #WorldOfWarcraft #HorrificVIsions #TheWarWithin

  7. I love how Brinthe, during the disc quests, goes from "but I have faith in the titan's plans for us" to "damn the titans".

  8. So... if the pocket dimension that is the inside of Kel'thuzad's phylactery still exists, does that mean... that guy has nine lives, hasn't he?

  9. Mogging Xal'atath on my shadow was a good decision. Having her whispering to her while on Khaz Algar is... *shivers*

  10. Left: This is crystallised essence from Azeroth.

    Right: This is a giant cut crystal that smashed through the ceiling.

    I don't care what the Keeper think it is. They're wrong.

  11. Faerin: "As our numbers dwindle, some find their faith shaken. They turn to the whispers in the darkness."

    Amnesija: "I take it not is not a good time to talk about the voices in my head?"

  12. So, Haranir. They are obviously building them up to be an important part of the Worldsoul Saga, but will they be playable in some form? New race? Customisations for Nelf and Troll Druids? They seemed to be too prominent in the trailer to be a one-shot… #WorldOfWarcraft #TheWarWithin #WorldsoulSaga

  14. [P] I mean, at the very least, this could be brought up in an interview. The sudden backslide after Blizzard promised so much that representation mattered is creepy and gross. I just can't trust any outlet that just doesn't care. And it seems like none of thrm do, which means I have no reason to trust any of them. I can only imagine the headlines if Ubisoft had pulled queer erasure. But Blizzard? Nah.

  15. [P] I still want to know wbere that representation went, and why there are still ZERO queer charactera in The War Within.

    The press has glowing praise for TWW, yet they're oddly silent on the topic of sudden queer erasure. As per usual, the gaming press is sending a loud and clear message, here: We don't matter.

    Is it any wonder why I don't trust games journalists?

  16. [P] There's a VERY awkward question to be asked about why Dragonflight is so inclusive, empowering, and diverse where TWW is the OPPOSITE of that! Why go from having lots of queer rep to absolutely none, to denying we exist? It feels vile. Why is no one asking Blizzard about that? Why is no one asking Metzen why he apparently hates gay people? Why is there so much media silence regarding TWW's issues?

  17. [P] Even if we just pick out the objectifying foot ferish, why is it okay to objectify women agwin? Mass Effect 2 got shit for its pervy, lecherous camera, so why is that bad but TWW doing the same thing is fine? Inthought this was the sort of thing we should talk about. It just looks like Chris Metzen feels brazenly confident being kinda sexist, racist, and queerphobic. No one's challenging him! So why not, I guess?

  18. [P] You shouldn't talk about this only when it's convenient, regarding companies everyone already hates. The backslide in WoW is worth investigating. I mean, princess tulanji didn't need white people to save Zandalar in Battle for Azeroth, so why must the not-exactly-white-coded (to put it lightly) nerubians need white people to save them from extinction in TWW? I'd expect this shit from classic WoW, bit not in 2024.

  19. [P] It's a creepy backslide. We went from having non-binary heroes, disabled characters in empowered roles, and even gay couples that wrren't meant for the male-gaze to... well, TWW's "For the straight, white, regular lads!" mindset. Even Xal'atath's foot fetish shit (in SO MANY cutscenes) is just objectifying her for the male gaze. It's the modern equivalent of the chainmail bikini, it's gross. Why the backslide?

  20. [P] It's just typical that the media has these glow8ng reviews of TWW without anyone touching on the strong vibes of sexism, racism, and queerphobia that game has. An irrational woman needing a cool-headed male handler to not go emotionally genocidal, white saviour BS out the wazoo, pushing straight hard while having ZERO queer (LGBTQIA+) characters (after Dragonflight was so inclusive). It's worth highlighting.

  21. Last night we ran our first guild raid night since returning to Mystery Goo, and did much better than expected. Got the first 2 bosses down. We are just 1 guild member short of Guild Progress achievements. So if you are on the EU realms and are looking for a small guild, hit me up!

  27. Delves have definitely got more managable for solo players with the hotfixes. They aren't a faceroll, but I was able to do a bountiful 5 yesterday (which upgraded one of my vault slots to Champion). I'll see if I can push up to level 8 this week... #WorldOfWarcraft #Delves #TheWarWithin

  29. I hope the fix the solo Delve scaling soon. They should be perfect content for me, but I’m struggling with easy Tier 5s. I’m enjoying them more than Choreghast, but they don’t seem tuned quite right for filthy casuals like me… #WorldOfWarcraft #TheWarWithin #Delves

  34. One week until S1 Mythic+ officially starts. Looking for more players for our small/fun/casual/kinky/friendly Horde guild “Mystery Goo” on EU-Stormscale. So if you're looking to push keys or want to help build a raid team, hit me up!
