I just don't understand the logic of Blizzard. There is a reason that people don't play checkers as an adult. it is too simple and repetitive. Blizzard's new stance of making everybody equal and a fair chance at seeing all the content is just garbage. If something is easily attained it loses its value. I remember way back in the day when the Arcanite Reaper was the weapon to have, and when you saw somebody in town with it you were like "DAMN that this is bad ass". Now none of it has any cool factor because you can morph your items to look differently and most gear is easy to get. Unfortunately this is a money driven decision on their part, not about making a great game like the originally started. They want to make the game easy for the casual person so they can get more subscriptions, but in doing so they screw over their hard core players who have paid their fee for years and years. It is very short sighted though because the hardcore players are the core of this game and on the current path those players are going to move to a different game that provides a challenge.
Have you seen the pics of the items? ILVL 566 with only 35 AGI and 58 STA, i do not think i like this at all. Even IF they do as stated and make everything scale down, i feel that a level 15 item still won't any stats at all. That worries me.Not only that i have spent MONTHS getting my rep up to buy the best enchants and gear patterns, now what? It is going away because Blizz wants to, once again, make changes! WTF! Last time they "Changed" things i lost all my glyphs, on all my toons! I was pissed! Hours spent re farming low level herbs to make low level ink to make new glyphs. Why? And now they once again decide to make changes without asking the paying subscriber, "What do you think"?If i had blizzard as an employee they would have been fired long ago! It used to be that gross incompetence would get you fired, now it seems to be the normal for everybody to be rewarded for that behavior. I just do not understand.How do we get a refund?
Blizz say don't worry you'll still feel powerful but item squish will bring about lower damage output? In MoP my chaos bolts currently hit anywhere from 800k - 2.5million. In Warlords I dont even want to think what the numbers will be, a measly 10k? who knows. Will be weird. And feel crap. At first anyway. I Like the big numbers damn it! Been working to increase them for the last 2 years and now there insane there being scrapped. :( Am I right here?
So if meta's and other gems aren't as necessary, whats the point of having JC as a profession since NOW it has no use?
"Agility and Intellect no longer provide critical strike, as Strength does not and that caused balancing issues."like comparing a needle with a sledgehammer.big heavy vs light fast.ofc the hammer does not need crit, it has weight to it.
I have really some doubts having the nerf on the damage amount in numbers. The game has a minimum on experience to gain power as you level futher into the game. As the char stays the same, its spells shows the same visual effects as a rank grew. The only thing you can meassure are the stats of your character. I hope Blizzard will think about how to show your toons growths. I love the way on final fanasy where spells develope when the rank grows en the spell changes as do the sound, the vibes and even there surrounding. there is so much to win here and i really mis how blizzard dont use these oppertunities. there are more ways to improve your strength then just increase the stats.
I keep hearing mention that gem slots will ONLY appear on raid drops (i.e., they have their 10% chance of being on raid gear, but won't appear on quest, crafted, or BoE drops).Is this true? Should I dump my jewelcrafter, if my "quester" playstyle won't generate any gem slots? Or just accept the necklace and rings are the only things I'll use (if it fits in the three slots I choose to equip)?
So not only do raiders get the iLvl, the tier set bonuses, and the purple outlines, but they also get the occasional gem slot.Plus I'll have to buy their BoE drops to round out my iLvl, since we can only have 3 crafted items.Joy. Hope they are happy...
Basically don't need the guide as you just have to wait for the stat nerds to crunch the numbers and give the best gear, stats, etc. Unfortunately that's what RPG's have come down to.
It would be nice if your complaint was in English, with proper grammer and spelling! O, wait.......we're just monkies cuz you can't understand it. >.<
