 WTF so sad, proper fan boy'd over the way they were so strong for many years. There's no official statement yet, but most Method players broke out of the guild to make From Fragnance stream, alot of Method raiders are now in Serenity already with others joining soon. Seems some huge drama must of kicked off for this to happen End of an era i guess. Method won't disband but they will not be very high up in world first challenge i would assume now due to how many people left. Will focus itself in other aspects of ESPORTS. They have WoW PvP team, CSGO team Hearthstone players and a poker streamer. Wonder where it will take itself over the next few years but as a world 1st wrecking machine i think it might be done. | ||

These guys did world firsts for bragging rights/thrill/competition/etc., not to use it to start a gaming brand and make money I would imagine the raiders didn't do anything outside of WoW for Method so its unlikely to be about that. | ||

It's likely that the direction Sco wanted to move the guild would push them in the direction of having to travel more or stream more to advertise sponsors, which would require them to spend even more time doing things for Method that didn't involve the world first race. A lot of these guys actually have jobs and lives outside of WoW, and from the looks of things didn't want to sacrifice such things for the Method brand, regardless of whether they were getting paid for it or not. | ||

It sounds like to me the Method leadership was more concerned with growing the brand and creating a bigger income than they were running the guild. They left that to others and then those others started wondering why someone else was making an income off of their work ( I'm assuming the Method officers were getting the bulk of this income). Combined with the break away guilds new logo ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/s0IGE31.jpg) | ||

That tabard is great though. Apparently Slootbag is going to tank for Serenity too, and Misume from WWA is replacing him in Midwinter. rip NA? Edit: Serenity also has a warlock named Furty on their roster, I'm wondering if he's moving over too or what | ||

But at least people have somewhat better equip than last time there was the Mythic dungeon event. I still remember repeatedly wiping at 3rd boss in Auchindoun with 2 mages that had each 12k dps. Yeah. This time the worst I saw was like 20k. | ||

I cleared all 4 mythics in 1 hour total with a random group with me doing ~ 80k overall and spiking harder on bosses. I remember when i was chasing 20k overall damage on a DK at the beginning of the expansion lmao :D ring and mirror of the blademaster is gud stuff Last mythic event i didn't actually do them, just did the first boss everbloom, last boss everbloom reset thing to get 4 in 20-25 minutes | ||

I tried watching the BlizzCon arena qualifiers and it just wasn't that interesting. All cool down counting, LoSing and most importantly countercomping. Seems to me you'd get all that in WSG or AB and the game would have more depth because it was more than just "oh one guy died the game's over." | ||

Seems to me you'd get all that in WSG or AB and the game would have more depth because it was more than just "oh one guy died the game's over." Many reasons, in no particular order. Arenas came first, before rated bgs. At the top of the rated bg ladder right now, there is no real competition for the top team, and it is full of ddos'ers and scripters, including the top team. (NA) Organizing a 10v10 tournament is much much harder then a 3v3 tournament. RBG's are very comp dependent, with the optimal comp being much different from map to map. Some RBG's are very hard to come back on, like AB where once you have 3 nodes you are a massive favorite to win. There is a lot more dead time during RBG's, when not that much is going on. It is probably very hard to follow what is going on from a spectators perspective. A lot of top strategies for some maps are just how to abuse class mechanics the hardest (Monks/locks tping with flags). Thats all I can think of right now. | ||

Both have been around for 5+ years now, plenty of time to push RBGs if they wanted to.

(NA) I'd heard about that years ago, sad to hear it's still going on. Still if Blizzard really wanted to push competetive BGs they could deal with it. Just ban the hell out of anyone exploiting.

After one of the qualifying games the winner (I think it was one of the Luminosity guys) said (paraphrased) "Yeah we outcomped them. That's WoW arenas for you." before adding that he was hoping to dodge the RMD comp on the other side of the bracket because none of their comps could deal with it and it was autolose. Having to adjust strategies from map to map would be a good thing. In a 10v10 teams would need a larger bench, so you could have the niche strategies/specs coming from your bench players or offspecs/alts.

This is obviously not great, but it's not the end of the world for an esport. DotA2/LoL both have this factor and they do ok. On September 21 2015 07:38 dae wrote:There is a lot more dead time during RBG's, when not that much is going on. Some deadtime is absolutely fine for an esport and most of the big esports actually have plenty of it. LoL/DotA have farming phases, SC2 has the early game. Deadtime in the middle of the game is an opportunity for casters to talk about macro strategy, the players themselves or even show replays of action the spectators may have missed (which would be crucial for RBGs). On September 21 2015 07:38 dae wrote:It is probably very hard to follow what is going on from a spectators perspective. I actually think this would be the biggest advantage RBGs would have over arenas. Arenas make for terrible viewing. Each comp usually has one specific win condition (burst while stunlocking, wear down into dampening etc) and the "big plays" are just stuff like holding a CD to the last second or LoSing for a couple of seconds till your healer comes out of CC. The presence of objectives automatically adds so much in terms of macro strategy which is far easier to follow as a spectator than "who's LoSing who now and x cooldown was used on y target", never mind the significance of any of them. The arena casters do a great job giving a lot of information quickly to the viewer but it still felt chaotic and impossible to follow even for someone who plays the game. The best part is that those arena style fights would still happen. They'd take place as extended engagements on specific of varying sizes with the possibility of reinforcements acting as wildcard to the situation.

SC2 has the early game They're actually reworking the start of the game specifically to remove that. Have you played Legacy? You have 16 probes at 0 minutes and 39 seconds into the game, literally. Couldn't Blizzard just patch stuff like this out of the game? Hardly seems like a show stopper. 5v5 is still kinda large scale for LAN events, bring 20-30 people and having 20 computers for 1 match would be hard. It probably doesn't create proportionally higher viewership or prize pools. Blizzard would have to seriously seriously stay on top of the game and constantly patch stuff, something they're not amazing at even for PVE content which is much more predictable. It'd mean extra developers hired to oversee pvp balance at the very least They seem happier to focus on what's generally considered "the" 1v1 esport (starcraft) and getting their moba (5v5, pvp only) off the ground, rather than trying to balance WoW matches with 20 people in them using classes that get redesigned every 1.5 - 2 years with their own set of pvp-only abilities and stats to safely seperate it from the PVE core of WoW and avoid ruining both PVE and PVP trying to have a compromise (though Legion is stepping in that direction, which is good | ||

Is there a clean raid ui you guys can recommend? I need to look at what, 6 cds, DBM, raid frames, castbar and thats about it. The idea is that I just want to look at my CD's, and boss CDs . Is there a place where I can look at different DBM profiles that people use, and import these? The out of the box is too much | ||

ElvUI, I have been looking at this a while back, I think I was afraid it was too much hassle, as I don't really need to monitor everything, but rather just disable unwanted UI elements. I mean just look at this beauty, everything I need ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tn0G3qJ.jpg) | ||
