@joshcorbettpods I enjoyed it. Notice they'd be adjusting xp for route let me dedicate some time to at least securing 50. Didn't think I'd get there this weekend. Really happy that (even if scuffed) it was possible. I play SoD to raid with the homies and do dungeons. That's what this is.

@raysfan4life @joshcorbettpods @AggrendWoW @knowyourgoat Shadowstrike Ally here. It feels like the Horde were pumping early and the appetite fell off once alliance worked out shred. A lot of people - will head to shred to grab the mark. 2% more damage dealers also seems huge in a pve wpvp event.

Check out this faction balance update from the GOAT @knowyourgoat
Tom Ellis@FwoiblesWoW

Season 2 dropping on Thursday, a quick look at the PvP realms in US and EU for faction balance... Aaaah, ok that feels good. Things that could be improved? For sure! The balance at max level and the balance between people who *actually* engage in PvP is going to be different. But for a first stab at just balancing active characters on the realm, two months in, not bad. Super proud of this one, this started as a hair brained idea after a conversation with @AggrendWoW about never actually biting the bullet on trying a faction balancing system and I had a nutty idea to try and pull it off with minimal effort and large payoff. Within a week (we were only two weeks out from SoD launch!) we managed to turn this around with the help of two heroic engineers and the Classic QA team.

@AggrendWoW Loved it. Just enough info for me imo. A little earlier on the timing, and I'd love to see some post-p2 release where you explain some of what you were trying to do with X or Y change. Kind of like a 'mid patch' update.

Kinda curious how everyone felt about the Phase 2 video presentation and blog? We really liked our blizzcon presentation format and kinda just decided to keep that rolling this time. Is this a good format for future previews? (specifically asking about format, not timing. I think this one could have come a bit earlier for sure).

@LowkoTV @SaintSnorlax No product to sell maybe? Or it just isn't worth the investment. Sure it's potentially 10k per month a table but after production costs and paying talent - can the cost justification work compared to something like ESL cup which is free? I don't think so.

GSL 2024 plans announced! Down to two seasons, S1 in Feb-April, S2 in June-July (leading to Gamers8). Prize money per season is down from 34m KRW to 20m KRW. AfreecaTV says it will evaluate plans for 2024/2025 after Gamers8. #1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tl.net/forum/starcraf…

@AggrendWoW Look I know you read these because you were literally chillin in disc yesterday evening listening to the #goodvibes. I learned from Game of Thrones. I spoiled myself on runes. If less than half this made it to P2, you're going to have me no lifing and not lifting. Great work.

I wanted to take a moment to talk about datamining and the PTR. You will see many things in datamining if you seek it out, some of it is real, some of it is experimental things that will never see the light of day. I'd take all of it with many grains of salt. Additionally, any stats or abilities are subject to change at any time. Re: PTR - The only thing testable normally on the 1.15.1 PTR is non-seasonal Era and Hardcore, and you may be wondering "Why did you put 1.15.1 on the PTR at all?" and that's a fair question. The full and real answer is that by having no PTR for the SoD content itself, we put a lot of pressure and stress on our live operations and support teams that help us run the game as we may have increased live support requirements around our launch for any issues that may escape to live. Having no Era PTR for the patch at all compounds this further because then we can't catch systemic problems such as server issues and crashes that will affect all versions of vanilla classic, and we run the risk of making the launch unstable for many players. My sincere advice is, if you don't want to be spoiled, do your best to avoid spoilers. Many sites like @Wowhead are putting spoiler warnings on things (which we appreciate, thank you!) so I'd encourage you to heed those warnings if you care to. Thanks, and we are looking forward to seeing you in Phase 2 next week!

Open question; should we delay the launch of the Gnomeregan 10-player raid by a week or just have it be open from day one of Phase 2? Why do you feel the way you do? Just trying to get a pulse check and some opinions to read. Thanks! (Note: I'm not going to answer any other p2 questions in this thread, sorry).

@SanatanaMishra Honestly, loving bg3. DA:O was a worthy successor. The sequels... not so much. Hopefully the team at Bioware is emboldened by this reception rather than deterred. There is a market for true crpg and dragon age. Crpg combat is exhausting!

I’m not trying to be negative towards one teams creation to boost another, but, I find it fascinating that BG3 can exist and be so incredibly good and successful while BioWare’s own BG successor series slowly turned into a single player mmo Chasing trends vs making trends, kinda

@BeoMulf_SC2 I don't have the capacity to dedicate time to a lonely game that's been abandoned by the developers after a decade of mismanagement. When I say I miss 'sc2' I'm saying that I miss when it had promise. Now it's on life support while we wait for Immortal and Stormgate.

Pet peeve of the day: "Oh, SC2? Man, I miss that game" It's still here - the ladder's still very active, you get a game in less than 2 minutes, there are tournaments every week...

Picture me, a fool, who is compelled to spend all her limited free time playing Diablo IV, who still hasn’t played enough SF6, downloading the Final Fantasy XVI demo. I hate being one human and only having one-human’s worth of TIME. HOW DO YOU ALL DO IT HOW TO PLAY ALL GAMES

@davetesta @heavenstarcraft Had the opposite experience. It looks crisp for pre-alpha and has given me confidence. TTK seems to be improved. We saw some mech v bio interactions and insights into terrain/objectives (creeping). Good little showcase imho and way further along than I thought it was.

@heavenstarcraft Pre-Alpha. Larger audience (xQc and all of the collective audience of streamers) - and the fact that we actually had Frost Giant with Day 9 on the PC Gamer stream? Eh. I for one am glad at an earlier stage it got some showing, but definitely kind of feel ya for sure.
