@VoralFr @toryumisu iirc, Nojiko wasn’t aware of Nami’s goal of saving a ton of treasure to buy the freedom of the island from Arlong, and only finds out once the marines come to take the treasure. thus they had a strained relationship because Nojiko thought Nami was willingly working for Arlong

but fr the bundles expensive as hell

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

i get that the decor bundles are ridiculously priced but i’m baffled by the people who seem to have zero idea what actually influences decisions made by devs on this feature. deadass saw someone going “oh they’re increasing the exterior building limit to make us buy bundles!”

we unfortunately live in a capitalistic system and have to navigate within its bounds to produce better things for players in spite of it. it’s just silly to see people who have no plan to interact with housing also be the ones this ideologically opposed to its monetization

@pacc_yacc @vapewizard89 @warcraftstats really good

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

@vapewizard89 @warcraftstats and a sizable portion of those cosmetics still fit the standard wow fantasy. you fell hook line and sinker for the monthly cycle of
>trading post refresh
>cherry pick a couple items
>post “omg wow is all rainbows unicorns now”
>farm engagement
>brainless chud believes the bait

@vapewizard89 @warcraftstats in fact the very set the Diablo one is based on within the last couple years got a new uprezzed look and 2 additional color tints. you’re instead focused on a handful of items on the monthly cosmetic shop meant to diversify aesthetics so there’s more player choice

@sydragosa because it usually means the thing i’m doing in game isn’t something i have to put much thought in to, meaning there’s a part of my brain that wants something to think about or it gets bored, even if the part of my brain doing the mindless WoW thing is entertained

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

@sydragosa it helps in the sense that it feels like while i’m doing something in game i have all this unused brain power that WANTS to do something so it’s latching on to anything and pulling me every which way into decision paralysis, so i have to give it something different to focus on

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

all of these are things that are design philosophies (although vague) that he could’ve implemented when he was still there, but he claims he had no influence over that. okay then well let’s look at stuff you had influence over like Quality Assurance and- oh you fired them

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

guy stuck in 2008 gives the most vague nothingburger about what he would’ve done with the game and wonders why people are ecstatic he has no control over the game anymore

[Mike Ybarra @Qwik]

Few things:
A WoW that is about WAR - conflict, struggle, risk, reward, achievement. This is what WoW is all about.

"There must always be a Lich King." I wanted an expansion to go back and talk about how there is always a Lich King and take that story much further. So much more to be told here!

Spending far more time on raids and new ideas for the CORE gaming audience vs. the casuals.

And finally, WoW 2 instead of the same WoW 1 expansions over and over re-skinned.

For 10 or so years, just don't have the team for that anymore. It's changed so much since the Kaplan/others days.

[Elijah, Cinnamoroll Loyalist 🩷💜💙 @_pixel_cat]

which would make sense with how each statement reads like an AI constructing ideas that would sound good to other people who stopped playing over a decade ago instead of what sounds good to the “core audience” he refers to. the non-ironic “Just do WoW 2” is just the cherry on top

@Remiireee Kill for me, now!

@_Jackierman_ @FelrynX @Tha_gregg90 i have a very strong hunch that his warlock being in poverty gear means that the necklace was an Ilvl upgrade and so the game wouldn’t have let him trade it anyway
