Koods

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 It’s honestly grown a lot of limbs. People on Reddit are CONVINCED that he was threatening small streamers to be banned for hate watching. It’s got a lot of attention too, so there might be another clip out there or something but I’m not that invested to find it.

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 Okay, I'm seeing now the video that people keep referencing about "PirateSoftware reporting his guildies". People took that clip out of context. Pirate was reporting people who were harassing him in game, not his guildies. People just titled that clip that way to spur drama.

𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐓𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐘𝐄𝐄𝐒 It seems as though Piratesoftware will be leveraging his past relationship with Blizzard to send his reports directly to past Blizzard colleagues. Pirate went on to say that Blizzard are aware of the situation and that everything he sends will be read. It's worth noting that Blizzard are notorious for not acting on individual normal player reports so will be interesting to see if Pirates words follow through.

@jayt00n @N_Tys26 Just the kicking part is all I’m really trying to defend. He was threatening to get people banned and saying the guild was built on hate. Just very toxic. However, getting blasted and made fun of for being unable to take criticism in a game? Yeah not super chill

@kudosforkodos @N_Tys26 And the people whose job it isnt are outcrying like babies.. please. I can understand being mad about it, even then kicking him if thats their decision, but all these people online? Seriously? That is valid to you because of the streamer’s jobs?

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 I don’t know man I think someone a little less strung would just say sorry and be done with it. I think pirates reaction is a bit more unrealistic than the average one considering the stakes. I feel bad no matter what tho, he really didn’t do anything crazy but it spun so far

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 That's a very unrealistic approach to things that only happens in fantasy Koods.

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 I understand against the viewers, but it’s suicide to take on all the streamers at the same time. If I were him I’d want to defend myself too, but the cost to do it? Hell no. If I were pirate, I’d apologize and do all nighters leveling their toons for them bruh

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 Why wouldn't you defend yourself when you have people constantly harassing you over something so ridiculous?

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 The fuckups happen all the time, and it’s never this bad because usually people are a bit more reasonable about it. Moonmoon for example, very similar situation, did not blow up negatively. It just became a meme. This could’ve, but pirate has decided to defend himself instead

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 The fact of the matter here is that everyone has him on a microscope because that's where everyone stands to gain. Everyone's disregarding everyone else's fuckups and zoning in on the "roaching" because this outrage is where everyone can farm content from. It already happened.

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 1. He left the call the day after when Tyler put them on together. They took turns and during yamatos turn he left. 2. Yes. Whatever you want to say about Yamoto but no reason to rub it in the rest of the parties faces as soon as he’s under a little heat 3 exactly

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 "Leaving Calls" - You mean how when it was Pirate's turn to speak, Yamato kept speaking over him and Pirate got tired of that so he left? "Pointing Fingers At Others" - you mean where he said everyone fucked up? "Blizzard" - The thing he does everyday even before this?

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 Like many have said, the actual gameplay is not super relevant, it’s the reaction afterwords. Being weirdly dishonest about mana, pointing fingers at the others, leaving calls, acting like he’s more important because of the gems in his bank, bringing up his tenure at blizzard…

@kudosforkodos @scaasm @N_Tys26 Yet they're singling Pirate out when he's not the person who ended up contributing the most errors to deaths?

@Raidenskami @NaoSouONight @quin69 @N_Tys26 He did not get “dog piled” that’s another reason people are so upset about it. Nobody but Yamamoto said really anything to him and yama was certainly frustrated but to say they “dog piled” him? Its playing victim.

@NaoSouONight @quin69 @N_Tys26 Pirate explained that he was pissed that everyone dog pilled on him right after the deaths. That rogue went at him all out. He said he took offense to that and didn’t want to take his flaming. All fine and dandy. They’re all self important people with big egos.

@jayt00n @N_Tys26 It’s literally like the jobs of many people to make appearances in this guild. A lot of people are building new audiences or growing from nothing.

@PirateSoftware @N_Tys26 People want a mass apology from someone over something that happened in a video game??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 there’s no way… this whole drama isnt satire??? People who arent even in the group or know any of these people personally are saying “a sorry could have fixed it” noooo way

@theboredboar @scaasm @N_Tys26 The entire novelty of this hardcore guild is micro reviewing every clip and decision people make. It’s not fair to blame the guildies for doing the same thing they’ve been doing over the last month or two

@scaasm @PirateSoftware @N_Tys26 Not to mention, it's the content that they put out and how they're behaving and reacting to this that's pushing these weirdos to do these.

@JdaroThe @scaasm @N_Tys26 I agree but it wouldn’t have kept going if there wasn’t a new clip of pirate saying somethin new every 30 minutes on Reddit. Did you know he worked at blizzard?

@Defect_VR @N_Tys26 The actual gameplay isn’t that big of a deal man. The drama is about the relationships

@PirateSoftware @N_Tys26 Run was called, you did the right thing. Lets talk about the rogue who said why are you walking away. But yet hes the one that called to run. Then said it was salvageble; meanwhile he didnt help at all...No one should be sending you death threats over this bs

@buttstuff100 @N_Tys26 W

@BNjoeC @Waydots @N_Tys26 Blanketing an apology with “we all made mistakes” just doesn’t hit the same.

@Waydots @N_Tys26 He did admit mistake once about and it was met with “that’s not good enough, we want you to beg forgiveness”. This whole thing was just a masterclass in how to blame someone over the two others who were more in the wrong.

@unknownnips @AggrendWoW Can you frost shock a caster or hunter that's 30 yards away?

The team focused on SoD has spent a good chunk of the last few days chewing on a rather large list of class adjustments coming soon (likely actually soon, not "soon tm" soon). As always we want to prime everyone that it's not going to fix every single thing everyone wanted, but we are continuing to iterate. We've been watching discords and forums for ideas and suggestions as we go, and while that's fine and good, I figured it might be a fun exercise to probe for a few suggestions here to a few targeted questions. Disclaimer; there may be an excellent idea in here that you love that we can't execute on for whatever reason. Game dev isn't easy and sometimes you have to pass on a good idea for a myriad of reasons. It's nothing sinister and its not us being tone deaf. Many things are also too big to hotfix so we have to think about what we do now vs. next phase. So, feel free to post suggestions or links to media with good suggestions in reply. Please do keep it civil though both towards me/the team and each other. I've been increasingly having to mute/block folks with abusive or unhelpful commentary so let's all be chill humans together. Lastly, please try and frame your suggestion with both a) the issue to be addressed, and b) your suggestion--phrased as concisely as possible. We likely won't have time to read super long posts/threads to find the meat of your point, so this will help (he says, while typing a super long post himself). Anyway, here goes: 1. Shadow DPS - We'd like to increase damage while allowing them to still shine in terms of group utility, particularly because their utility/value is likely to increase even further at 60 with some new stuff coming. One thing we also keep coming back to as well is wanting to restore mind flay to having a place in the toolkit. With that in mind, how would you suggest improving Shadow DPS with those goals in mind? 2. Survival Tree for Hunters - We know a lot of melee hunters really want Survival to be a thing and we agree that it really fits that "RPG ranger" class fantasy. Currently, BM tends to outstrip it in terms of raw output. What do you think could be interesting to zhuzh this up and make a deepish survival investment interesting? 3. Holy Paladins - We did you guys a bit dirty by not giving you interesting buttons to push like every other healing class. Viewed through a level 60 vanilla lens holy is great, but in SoD it leaves a lot to be desired. One thing we've been discussing is a group heal or some sort of proactive heal mechanic for Holy, but interested to hear some concise ideas here. 4. Sword Rogues - We have some adjustments coming in the upcoming update but we are open to ideas for how to make Saber Slash and other sword gameplay compelling. Might simply be a "do moar damage" adjustment that fixes this in the end, but we are interested in "feelsy" adjustment ideas too. 5. Warriors - Rage is a problematic mechanic because more damage = more rage = more damage = more rage ad infinitum. This is going to become more problematic at 60 as well. If we had it to do over again, we'd likely have normalized rage (i.e. you don't get extra rage when you do more damage/crit) at the start of the season and focused on major changes to their gameplay to compensate. The way it works now really hamstrings the design options for Warriors as we have to worry about the historically best dps in the game becoming even better later and forcing us to do an absolutely massive nerf which everyone would hate. To you, what would be a good trade for some form of normalized rage at 60 if we had to do such a thing? To close us out--at this point, we are always open to novel ideas for any class, including things that don't just strictly borrow from future expansions. Our philosophy on this has shifted from when we started developing this season and now we'd love to experiment with totally NEW mechanics (that ideally fit somewhat plausibly into the classic ecosystem). Not to say we won't use future expansion spells, but there's a willingness to expand our horizons a bit. Anyway sorry for the length. We've had a lot of fun just trawling discords and forums recently but figured I'd just throw this into the maelstrom and see what we get here as well. Thanks! EDIT: I am not answering questions here, so sorry if you want to ask something. My thoughts are irrelevant to this discussion and we want YOUR ideas.
