@BarnholdtBatman @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Litendave Bugfixes are usually applied through hotfixes. It's usually tuning that's done with the weekly reset

@BlizzardCSEU_EN @Litendave Can you hotfix them now please. So people can actually play friday evening EU.

@BlizzardCSEU_EN Are you aware of the bugs that players are seeing with Unholy Death Knights right now and is there an ETA on a fix for the issues?

@_Reloe @Diazanite While that does sound like the proper solution it's also super janky and would lead to a lot of missunderstanding.

@Diazanite this way everyone had the same amount of bugged and working bonusrolls.

so now you get punished if you didn't use your roll while you know there was an active bug? lol!

@jdotb That is true for many things. A major thing in rpgs is the character progression. If the best way to make your guy strongest is not engaging then it's badly designed.

@scheier_balazs you could just not do that ?

make heroic raids drop loot every run. this removes the need for splits and makes raid trinket acquisition less dogshit if anyone thinks this will make gearing go too quickly, blizz can simply lower the crest cap to flatten the gearing curve let heroic week live up to its name

@jdotb Maybe, just maybe adress the elephant in the room. That infinitely farmable 3/6 hero track items are bad for the game. It invalidates the majority of the game while also providing dogshit content. No one enjoys doing the same dungeons over and over at the same level.

@jdotb Yeah. Farming specific items is dogshit in keys let's just port it to raid aswell. Can't wait to do 20+ of the same boss so everyone has the specific item they need. Sounds super fun and engaging.

@Violet_Kitten69 @emmzeexd @Profien_87 @Shadarek No. It's 20% chance for a loot drop per people. In a 20 man raid it's 4 pieces of loot that ends up with 0.2 loot per player. With 19 players and one locked you get 3 loot 20% of the time and 4 80% of the time. So on average you get 3.8 pieces of loot. That's still 0.2 loot avg

@emmzeexd @Profien_87 @Shadarek Its 1 pc per 5 people. In a 20 man raid, if 1 person is locked. The game treats it as if 15 people so the overall loot count goes from 4 to 3. Meaning those 4 extra players now have extra people to roll against for a smaller pool of loot.

I wish I had a way to explain why somebody being loot locked in your run isn't 'stealing your loot' but god people are bullheaded about it. You add 5 people to a raid who don't roll an item and also can't roll on items, it's the exact same on average.

@_jtl005_ @cross__entropy @fireshoes Win rate means the % of games that you win. Draws are not wins in fact.

@cross__entropy @fireshoes In this matrix, there are a few cells where the matrix isn't symmetric the way I'd expect. Like prowess vs. momo white the win rate reported from both sides doesn't add up. Is that because draws are considered a loss for both players?

@Sierkovitz How many Frog Butler is too many Frog Butler? Ended up drafting 5 but couldn't justify playing the 5th one. Especially as I felt I lack top end.

@R3tz4mE @Psybear_tv Normal/heroic raid loot is irrelevant besides a couple of very specific items. Items the random pug leader has no idea you wear (or even exist). Having high ilvl is more than enough. And keys are infinitely farmable hero track sources.

@Psybear_tv 4. No gear at all 5. After Split Phase - back to pug hell

#1 top tip for escaping pug raiding hell week 1 of Midnight... 1. Run splits with RWF guilds Why? 1. Guaranteed success 2. You get paid 3. Practice on bosses

@TraduNaCl The portion of the playerbase who are there because they like infinitely scaling dungeon content is pretty small.

@TraduNaCl They did try to change that back in DF season 1 I believe and the backlash was insane. In less than a week dungeons got nerfed and the rewards shifted down. The main way people look at keys is an accessable way to get geared over a season.

Changing those expectations is a necessary first step to have any hope of fixing M+ rewards. Continuing down the path of making M+ rewards easier and easier over time is not healthy, and fixing it will only become more unpopular over time as toxic expectations get entrenched.

@virtua_sloth @SaffronOlive We have mayhem already which is pretty close to madness (it doesn't have the instant speed shananigans).

@SaffronOlive Now we just need Madness back in Standard.

I thought Cool but Rude was one of the best Standard cards from the set, but after playing with it, it's even better that I expected. The card is wild.

@AlwaysHome4 @SaffronOlive Definitely not in lessons. You want the draw card mode most of the time. But the rakdos monument deck will definitely appreciate this card

@SaffronOlive I have a suspicion that it could replace monument as a whole if its good enough

@Pawg_Alf @veuenofff @Chord_O_Calls It sucks for limited

@veuenofff @Chord_O_Calls Why would that be a concern for you?

I think TMNT is a really interesting litmus test for what you care about as a Magic player. I’ve noticed a lot of people see the concept/art as a nonstarter, I’ve also noticed a bunch of people saying the cards/mechanics look fun and they’re excited for it (both are valid)

@MrChecklistcard @zompatanfo Why remove Wistfullness against landfall. Isn't the deck mostly reliant on the enchantments? Or are those irrelevant as the game ends before the enchantments could get value?

Me and @zompatanfo have been hard at work tuning Simic Cub. We decided that Wistfulness and Curator were the only tutor targets we have been consistently happy to draw so we just maximized them. Archdruid's Charm performs better than Formidable Speaker Link and sb-guide below 👇

@Karn338331 @AstroFoxLabs @JoshStrifeHayes Just type /cast <ability> to cast the spells

@AstroFoxLabs @JoshStrifeHayes only click from the spellbook would be hilarious😂

Some of the comments on this vid are showing unhealthy levels of parasocial connection to both a 20 year old game, and my playing of it.... youtu.be/tbLBNf7DTWc?si…

@thiscatg9tclaws @Intrepid_Tautog There is also a card currently in standard that mills based on life total. So getting to high hp is a win condition aswell.

@thiscatg9tclaws @Intrepid_Tautog The difference is that in hs you can't have more hp than 30. And decks can do that much dmg in like 2 turns. Whereas in mtg you could flicker this creature a couple of times and get to unreasonable amount of life total.

MtG Design Exercise: What would be an appropriate CMC for the following card if it were printed into a Standard-legal set? 🤔 "Essence Master Creature - Human Cleric When Essence Master enters, triple your life total. 1/1"

@ArcanePorom @WarcraftDevs As long as the encounter design is fine people won't have much issue. Most of the people don't really care if a class' gameplay is interesting or not. They just want content/rewards. The addon situation was a big unforced error though

.@WarcraftDevs Are you guys really happy with the state of the game? I can only speak for Mage, but this is the worst state talents have been since vanilla-era WoW. The prepatch event is the worst we've had to-date for any expansion launch. Is this really the best you've got?

@01misaligned @Ashlizzlle_ This creature can remove -1/-1 counters aswell

@Ashlizzlle_ Too bad moonshadow only takes away -1 -1 counters and doesnt add+1+1. Otherwise it would be tood with hollowmurk siege
