What was the thinking behind all the GCD changes? It changed melee character and tank fluid feel and ease of use so much.

I found the event very boring to play from horde side... But the Ship actually made me laugh.


It's even worse for me, my first encounter for that part of the cinematic was a meme set to music, so now all I can hear is that track. It was linked on here somewhere I think.

I think TV tropes calls it 'narm charm'. Goofy as fuck, yet so goofy, it manages to punch right through back into awesome.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

I don't know if any real official reason was ever given but I suspect a large part it of was macroing all your dps increase cooldowns to 1 button and 'popping off'. Especially a problem in PvP.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I dont mind it, I feel like nearly every class had an I win macro and while macros are a fun part of the game it dumbed down the gameplay alot and it also made alot of your performance very "all inish".

It does feel a bit wonky though. Been playing alot WW and using TOD Xuen and Serenity (when needed) felt really awful to start with but if its the same boat for everyone else its fine with it. Doesnt bother me on the mage DH or Shaman to much.

The problem is that its very unforgiving to use defensive and utility CD's and thats just fucking stupid. After conditioning people to go ham on DPS you are now forcing a community to reset their psyche in the era of WLogs.

One of the best things about my old guild and why we were successful on a light raiding schedule was that the analysis didnt end or start with damage but thats not how this community operates anymore.

(most) defensives shouldn't be on the GCD. They initially did this but it was reverted precisely because it discouraged using defensives to maintain 'optimal' dps.

It is a bit annoying that you have to do these for each character.

Also the bnet invition link is expired.


K so i checked, its not expired. Its probably seperate for NA and EU.

NA Alliance community is bumpin...

By the way, I'm living in Tokyo now and I have a lower ms connecting to Los Angeles servers than to Sydney servers... any idea why that might be?

I guess they are almost the same distance... but Sydney is a bit closer.

Fiery brand (veng DH active mitigation) is on the GCD

Darkness is on a locked 1.5 second GCD not affected by haste so we can be spamming 0.8 sec GCD's with our haste cooldowns/buffs but we press Darkness and have to wait 1.5 seconds before doing anything

Vengeful Retreat is on GCD, used every 20 seconds to apply a buff for resource generation in order to deal damage. This is just like Feral druid's TF - it's actually used 1.5x more often - and TF was taken off of the GCD but VR wasn't. Why?

These three additions strike me as particularly odd. There may be more examples from other classes.

A good portion of the cross-continental latency is due to routing rather than just raw distance. It's easy to ping 5000km one way and get a far lower ping than 5000km the other way

Demon Spikes is the Veng DH general purpose AM, and I don't think its on the GCD.

Fiery Brand has a longer cooldown and is a larger reduction for less common, hard-hitting abilities.

It still has 13.33% uptime

They took a mobility/offensive hybrid ability off the GCD for a tank and left Brand on there

Starting this week, I'll be playing a lot more and would be more than willing to organize NA alliance stuff once the leveling rush is over if anyone wants.

Last time I didn't bother with the midnight playing and just woke up earlier in the morning to play all day.
Avoids any problems at launch time itself and 5-6 am is still well before the crowds get in.

With the global release tho, if your American I guess your fucked? Since I think it launches at like prime time there. Might aswell play a couple of hours then, assuming the servers hold.

It comes out right when I get home from work, and I'm taking the following day off since I have use or lose leave to burn. Never though I'd take off from work for a videogame release but the timing is just perfect.
