/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Someone should start a /jp/ guild on WoW.

>>7592212
Does anyone here even play WoW? I thought even jaypee was above that.

>>7592212
There is one for the Americans. No idea if it's still alive.

>>7592212
We had one about 7 months ago. It died pretty quickly.

Besides, WoW is shit.

>>7592226
Oh there is? Neat.

I'm US, so I'd join if I knew what server and faction they were on.

I'll start a /jp/ guild. I'm US. So EU would have to make their own.

I'd like a PvP server, you guys fine with that?

Vanilla WoW was good.

>>7592261
Yeah. And so was BC. And so was Wrath. And so is Cata.

>>7592270

Nice.

Druid Feral.

>>7592270
Wrath and Cata sucked. Sorry bro.

>>7592290
>>7592280
Take off the goggles, guys. It's the same game.

>>7592261
Yes. I raided with a top horde guild, and it was the most fun I've ever had playing games. Too bad TBC completely ruined the game.

>>7592270
No.

>>7592302
same game populated by morons and easier raids, unbalanced pvp, and cash shop shit.

Yeah, same game

>>7592313
>morons
Same as Vanilla.
>easy raids
Same as Vanilla.
>Unbalanced PvP
Same as Vanilla.
>cash shop
That isn't a cash shop.

I kind of miss the days where you had to stand in the city to call for a replacement tank to finish off you BRD run.
"Hunter, can your pet tank?"

>>7592345
He said "easier" raids. Not easy.

>>7592363
Thanks, because I couldn't read it.

>>7592370
My pleasure.

I wish I could still like WoW...but it just keeps getting easier and simpler, and it was never very complex to begin with.
For every good idea in Cata there was a bad one, and I ended up disliking the bad ones more than I liked the good.

I was considering getting back into WoW, actually. Then a friend of mine told me about the latest exciting and dynamic addition to the game.

>Dungeon Journal
Are you serious? That's ridiculous.

One of my favorite things about wow is how they reduced the character server transfer restriction from 3 months to 3 days.

>>7592421
>Boss abilities will be available via the boss’ page, either by clicking on the map or by going through the Dungeon tab. The Dungeon tab on the boss’ page will list out all major spells, abilities, and phases for that fight.

I'm awestruck.
Is the...no, I can't even try to be witty about this. The game tells you exactly what the bosses do before you fight them. Amazing.

>>7592421
There are many things you could complain about, but I don't think that's one of them. It just erased the need for searching for boss tactics online, using deady boss mods and 50% of Atlas loot. Those two addons were around since at least TBC (unless that's when you left).

>>7592421
>>7592434
But it's very good - for PRO CHINESE PVP players who don't like to waste time on pve it's very helpful.

>>7592347
Omg... I remember such moments.... Even at start of WoTLK BRD was hard to do because noobs were crying after 30 minutes that their moms are calling them to sleep. And how long it was taking to find group... And when you found group everyone was Turk or Swedish expect you ....

The journal doesn't tell you what to do anyway, it tells you what the boss is going to do but that's it - you're just going to look up that on >insert tactics website of your choice> anyway.

That said, this isn't /jp/ related.

>>7592450
Not exactly - it just have descriptions of spells that boss is using and some informations about boss lore.

>>7592454
But this is IN THE GAME. The game itself tells you how to win. It's like if when you enter a boss room in Mega Man, the boss goes through it's full pattern once or twice before the fight starts.

>>7592459
>>7592461
It actually does.

>>7592453
Things aren't popular because they're "good", they're popular because they're easy to get into.

>>7592474
No - the same was in deadly boss~ and since WoTLK such alerts were at many bosses. But these are something like "BOSS is doing XXXX attack!!! Run!".

Most of people had addons for this anyway.

>>7592466
I wouldn't really call that a fair comparison.
In Megaman, no one is relying on you not to fuck up.
In multiplayer games, it's nice if the person playing at least knows what they're doing. It's the same with fighting games. Who wants to play with someone who hasn't even played 1 player yet?
I'd be shocked if you raided and never read any tactics first.

>>7592525
WoTLK never yelled OK HEALERS WATCH OUT FOR THIS or HOLY SHIT THIS GUYS IS BAD DPS KILL HIM FAST for you.

>>7592466
So you are the sort who rushes in raids without reading how the battle goes or watching the videos, then?

>>7592541
>>7592552
Of course not. The difference is the game does it for you now.

>>7592568
I sincerely do not see why you complain about it then.

>>7592572
Because it oversimplifies things.

>>7592582
but they were simple in the first place.
It's like walking to the supermarket when you could just order the food.

>>7592609
But they're getting even simpler. They're getting TO simple.

>>7592714
Addons did all those for you in the past.
No raider worth their salt would be without these addons.
You complain that Blizzard is trying to remove addon use which is in a way a compromise to security.


If you want something complicated/ofuscated go play tabletop classic D&D.

>>7592714
The journal has a marker in the 'book' next to an ability giving you a rough idea of what it does. It doesn't give you alerts like DBM / bigwigs does. It's something to look at before a fight to see what's up - which, if you're raiding - you should be doing anyway. It's zero use in fight.

Anyone raiding has a boss mod and knows all this stuff in advance, the journal is no use to them. Anyone not raiding is doing pvp where the journal is no use, or dungeons - and if you're complaining about dungeon difficulty you may as well complain that lvl 20 quest zones are. True, but who cares?

everyone except the people doing hour zero testing on the ptr and world first attempts on the final end bosses already had deadly boss mod and probably watched videos of how it's done. gms even gave raiders hints about boss abilities in the past regularly. the original top guilds which actually killed stuff in vanilla has blizzard developers and staff in them feeding them strategies.

saying blizzard made alerts are making it too simple is beyond stupid at that point in the game. if anything they should just be in the game already since everyone is forced to use deadly boss mod. how "elite" are you for downloading an addon that does exactly the same.
