nope

I would suggest anyone who is playing something that is considered not "Meta" to check out the raider io ladder for the big boys who stream on twitch and find a creator whos goals within the game align with yours. This has worked for me personally. I think Ultimate Penance would be a fantastic ability if we didnt have the movement requirements that we are experiencing currently in the game. Nice conversation, hopefully Saucyjay gets that power back on sooner rather than later.

Sadly, I missed the opportunity to interview one of my favorite content creators, but I'm so happy we still made it happen!!

Thanks for the interview, love it!

Yes and then you woke up and realized that you have no idea what AI is or how it works. Also, the idea is horrible in the first place, it's annoying enough when a person messes up, imagine the game messing itself up and taking you down with it. Great experience. Jesus...... As if a megacorp could "just use AI for testing their product" and they just "didn't think about it".

Can save world of warcraft? Hello? World of warcraft has not been this healthy since Legion... titles like this makes me sad...

So make it more toxic.... So let me tell you why you have people that actually don't seem to care or want to do much... Maybe the person love to do Mythic raiding and just despise M+ content, but there's no other way to cap out your gilded each week... Now if it's actually pushers, I can't comment... Let us cap our gilded in delves instead of capping it, don't force people in to doing something they hate more than anything just so they can play the content they actually do enjoy... Give more different avenues for people to gather the things that they NEED to continue playing the content that they enjoy to play, don't gatekeep and tell people. "Well you have to do this to do that." it's not helpful, you are now talking about wanting to have a way to make people hate the already toxic system even more, but they are still forced in to having to do it, so now... Instead of just turning their brains off each week and forcing them selves to just get the 90 gilded out of the way and the mythic vaults slots, they would probably just quit all together cause now they are going to be forced to think and take something they can't stand seriously... The fact is, M+ is the only way to cap anything at the moment, which forces people that can't stand the content but LOVE mythic raiding, to do it... So that's the people you will see in +8 and +10, Very veeeeery few of the overall keys done are past +10, majority of all keys are in the +2 +10 and most of it is cause they just don't like the system, cause if they did, they wouldn't stop at +10, they would go beyond that, cause the system is meant to push yourself, but the fact is. People do not want to and I quit wow because it was the ONLY way to keep up with the rest of my mythic raid team on gear and I started to feel like I was holding the team back because I refused to touch M+ I forced my self to do it now and again, but it burns me out and makes me hate and dread the time I spend in wow, so I quit... I don't have fun only doing heroic raiding, your character's progression is never done till you have the best gear that you can get to me and CE... That's what's fun, not sitting with the gear that's juuust not good enough to be great, not having AotC, it just feels like I got up to the last few steps of the stairs and just, stopped there, lingering, nothing really accomplished.. And M+ has no accomplishment to me, I'm not competitive, I don't care about scores or medals, it has literally no meaning to me AT ALL, only raiding has meaning to me and is fun to me... And I loved Delves, I could take my time and just have fun, not feel like I was just shoved and forced in to Dark souls which I already don't like, and then told that I have to react to every single hit coming at me but also speed run the game and not just take my time to experience the lore and story, that's M+ to me and I want no part in it... They capped Delves to 18 gilded now.. I mean great, at least they drop, but it's just not enough, I'd still have to do M+ to hit the 90 gilded earlier on in the season and I just do not want any part in that.... Just let people play the game how they want to play, if you give people more ways to do what they enjoy, the rest of you also won't have people like me who hate even being in your damn M+ group, you can't force people to do it, or force them to take it 100% serious like you do... You like and love the content, of course you are excited to give it your all, but there's many out there who just can't... It's like having to take out the dishes, doing the laundry, doing your taxes, taking out the trash... That's not how a game should feel, not for you, not for me, not for anyone... And this voting system is just going to make people hate it even more and then the game will lose more subs, until the numbers can't keep the game running anymore and it becomes a full free to play model where you have to pay to be able to equip purple gear and stuff and over time it becomes another TERA and forgotten in the past.

AI art in the thumbnail. Womp womp. 20 bucks is all it takes to hire an artist, and folks will appreciate and notice. AI slop is slop

A actually had this exact thought the other day. And I personaly think having the option to vote negativy would very much improve the toxicity and even gameplay. People would be scared they get negative rating by the other players so they wouldn't start arguments and just shut up, or actually use their dispells or kicks etc. Also yes, we have Rio score but it is basically a measurement of experience, not skill or attitude. I've met so mamy people with high rio and high dungeons completed and they were absolute trash at either dps, utility usage, survivability, or just a toxic fucks.

We already have a nearly objective system of raider IO score, I’m doubtful adding a completely subjective system of random people’s opinions would do anything to further improve anything. I think people have this idea that if they do a really good job people will use it to compliment them, but in reality it would probably end up more like Amazon reviews where if you live up to expectations people would largely ignore the system altogether, and only use it when they have a complaint.

These ideas sound terrible. If you go with the "dampening" it would make long boss fights that are already stressful in high keys even worse or impossible. The second idea makes something that is already punishing (being down a player) much worse. Right now the tank dying is mostly a wipe and if the boss got a buff once a player is down it would mean anyone dying is a wipe if there is no cr available.

Another W video. I think the mentorship program take is super interesting. If they implemented it at the beginning of a season it would be the most fair for everyone, in my opinion. Blizzard would be happy since people would have to play the game AND be pleasant to play with to receive after-key honors. Great idea

The main reason why dungeons aren’t pug friendly is because Blizzard fails to create an in game voice chat. What multiplayer game nowadays does not have that? I don’t think they need to adjust their gameplay DESIGN because they are failing to have a sufficient communication tool. Every season the need for this increases.

I am your average 3k M+ pugger. Every season I think to myself that I'll just tank M+, but then rather quickly I tend to get overly anxious when doing it. And then going back to dps.

Very true! A druid HoTs cancel out stagger pretty effectively. 😁

I thought Golden Hour's interaction with Stagger got changed in WW prepatch. Could have sworn it hasn't been hitting as well as it did during Dragonflight.

People don't want tanks, they want Prot Paladins specifically. If you queue up as non meta tank even with much higher IO needed you don't get invited, the community is brain-rotted in meta specs sadly.

Definitely a nerf, you go from getting a piece of good gear to a charge, big loss.

An elo system for M+ would be cool. It could even be used to test the "lives vs timer" surveys were talking about.

I played from vanilla to WoD, then came back in TWW and was shocked with how powerful tanks are now in comparison. I could solo world bosses at an extremely low ilvl. I could easily solo dungeons up to heroics wearing greens and blues. I was amazed. It's surreal to me that this is what they're like AFTER a giant nerf. They must have been gods in DF. I'm sure it sucks for people who experienced a giant downgrade, but me, I'm just drunk on the power.

I was a main tank from wrath till now. I quit after brewmaster just got slapped with no love for the billionth time. Switched to ww and have not looked back. the nerfs honestly are not needed since the main issues with df was vdh and they nerfed vdh in what made them op

I love and have been playing tank as my main role since WOTLK, been clearing challenge modes, heroic and mythic raids with my guild up until Shadowlands. I was excellent at the role, but returning to TWW M+ PUG 10+ is not fun whatsoever. The current tuning is just bullshit, and I am not setting foot in an M+ as a tank until Blizzard reels back on the bullshit.

12s have taught me that i've always been right about m+. Affixes are 100% unnecessary

Disc is over-rated. Absolutely terrible in pugs.

I love what you've proposed, there are plenty of solutions being proposed here on youtube, they just have to listen.

Tanks should NEVER be getting 1 shot if they are appropriately geared for the dungeon!!!

While i think a system like this would be the way to go if a que system was ever made. But i dont think it would work, or at least the que times would be hours. Spread out people over 8 dungeons and lets say 14 keys per dungeon. Thats basicly 112 different queues.

Was recommended your podcast by the youtube gods and I am enjoying it. Keep making these videos homies

This is a STUPID change. Just remove automatic key depletion. If people want to do lower keys then they can manually lower them. So the top 1% of the player base don't have to waste their time but the everyday player needs to waste their time.

I’m a prot warrior main. For me, I enjoy playing tank to beat the content. Once I “beat” the content, I quit until the next season.

On one hand it’s definitely telling that there’s a gameplay problem for tanks when streamers who are known for being god tier tanks like yoda and dorkie spend half the season playing as dps, but on the other hand every TH-camr, podcaster, and streamer complaining about new tanks and calling everyone who doesn’t meet their expectations “bad tanks” doesn’t really foster a healthy environment for encouraging anyone to learn to tank. Part of the reason there’s no tanks that meet peoples expectations is that is because they are actively encouraged to quit tanking before they ever get to that point.

I can see how sick I felt in this video lol. But we did it <3

This season was the worst season since they launched m+ especially for tanking missing a defensive gets you 1 shot blizz really delivered on we ant tank dmg to be smooth not spiky also healers didn't really swap from Dragonflight mentality they barely even try to heal tanks if you die as a tank you wipe the group you gotta plan the route deal with affixes intrerupt casts cause dps ignore intrerupts the dungeon rewards you 1 item from 10 dungeons in rest 50g people can't really be bothered to take so much responsability to top it off blizz posted tank nerfs for next season to give tank players a reason to play gj

This just sounded like a lot of “everyone is a bad player except me.” Which is exactly part of the problem, if nobody is ever allowed to be bad then everyone is going to quit long before they ever have a chance to become good and you end up with a dead game mode because everyone is afraid to even try learning a new more difficult role like tanking or healing. At some point you’re gonna have to choose between ego, and having people to play a video game with, because the better you get at the game the better players you will call bad. You will reach a point where anyone doing below a 15 is trash to you and you can only do keys once a week because all 7 of the people good enough to be in your presence have other stuff to do most of the time.

My favorite poddy with one of my favorite tanks. Love it!

I enjoy the playstyle of tanking where you plan your defensives around your pulls. Unfortunately, the tanks with "rolling" cooldowns like warrior with 2 stacks of shieldwall talent and paladins can just roll the dungeon rotating through their defensive cooldown timings. Difficulty seems to be the wall for most people. I agree completely with Dragonflight spoiling. Enjoyed the conversation nice episode.

I play tank, i don't main it, but because of the crest system, it's really annoying to gear up, you need to do like 100 dungeons to get geared, and i already play DPS and healer too, and just can't be bothered

Correct me if I am wrong, does this mean essentially key depletion is not changing for the majority of player base? Because for a very short window from when you get the acheivement to when you start doing keys above 12 your keys won't deplete? If so it seems to me this is to incentivize players who have the acheivement to lower their keys manually to engage with more of the player base instead of pushing higher content (if they don't like key depletion), making LFG at higher level keys even more scarse, purhaps? I may be looking at this negatively however, just trying to wrap my head around is it worth the experience. I guess on the plus side they can could lower the amount you need to get the acheivement if this doesnt work, but then it seems the devs still think depletion of keys is critical to the structure of Mythic+

For your favorite class you slipped over ele and enh lol

these are 11.1 changes

Yes it actually does feel like every healer..maybe not r sham though.

The new patch is a joke! The ring is a joke. M+ is beyond dead. It’s a lifeless corpse at this point. The game is actually dying…y’all just haven’t figured that out yet. The best analogy for what’s wrong is: Blizzard let us waste 2.5 months before finally fixing crest. Thin about that from a player perspective and ask yourself if your time is respected. Feral Druid still sucks ass. There are so many more issues and there isn’t enough room here to type them Out. Blizzard’s stagnation and refusal to promptly fix things, most notably M+ has cost them their player base.

honestly, healers as an entire role just need to be redone, it's directly hurting the game because of how they currently function

No offence but having LBNinja on here immediately devalues any confidence I have in this podcast... The stuff he recommends for MW is just the spread of misinformation and his videos are actively talked about in the MW discord as something you' should avoid... 😕 These tier lists are also stupid, incorrect and I don't even know where to begin. 🤷‍♂

who could have thought, that ppl stop playing tank, if you nerf their selfheal and you get 35% dmg cut on trinkets and other dmg effects on gear. =) Plus its funny that 3 non tank player are guessing why no one wants to play tank. Its simply no fun above +11(or the max vault i-lvl of the season), when you dont play prot pala you are in danger to lose aggro against enh shamies with their rnd crazy spike burst dmg, but you cant invest in more dmg(=aggro), because you have to survive the stuff.

I wish people focused less on these lists and more on educating the player base. Not good for the community.

I don't understand ppl saying disc is fun. Kinda reminds me of lock in later stages of TBC, mostly spamming 1 button

I agree with the 1st and 3rd takes on disc. I feel like voidweaver has made it more forgiving and gives it fantastic throughput, and those 2 things have always been major setbacks of the spec. It is much more fun to play atm, imo. I'm glad I'm no longer stuck with holy, because in previous seasons I felt disc was unnecessarily punishing for me personally.

Finally sanity...yes...I've been wanting a foot pedal for years...like organists...

The "collecting orbs" is a terrible affix as there are numerous scenarios where you actually cannot do it (e.g. siege last boss, grim last boss, etc) and you essentially buff the boss. While its not an issue on sub 10 keys - on fortified, I can guarantee it absolutely slaps (or slams if we remain in siege example) the crap out of the group on a 14-15 key. The only thing Blizzard should have done is simply make affixes more reasonable. E.g. Sanguine instead of "just healing" - making it 1. absorb area which reduces dmg taken by 80% for 15 secs, then disappears 2. heals mobs, but sanguine pool has some HP (capped at 10) which after it heals the pool shrinks its size (according to its hp) Raging: just remove that damn "immune to cc" effect, it is still punishing I was a 3.5k player for 9 seasons, but this is the first season I dont feel it. In fact I kinda hate this season. Subpar 45% uptime evokers everwhere, people with little knowledge trying (and sometimes getting boosted - thus timing) 13-15 keys. Which is nothing unusual, but previously the difficulty was easier and more forgiving. Now should I really start telling a mage on a 14 dawn when and how to use alter time? or should I raise healer's attention that "hey buddy unavoidable big dam dam is incoming, pls focus on healing" .
