    Well I can easily say that this has been the best expansion launch that I've experienced so far. For the first time in years I'm logging on, and I'm excited to play every single day. The world quest system is great, traveling is easy, but doesn't feel trivial (because of no flying, and all mobs scaling to 110). I'm playing a mage and I can say that I thoroughly enjoy every single spec, and I've been having a great time in dungeons so far. Fire is ridiculously fun in both boss fights and on trash (I've personally been able to do about 1.3m dps on heavy trash packs because of Living Bomb, Conflagration and Hot Streak Flamestrikes). Arcane still has the turret style gameplay which I personally like but I know others aren't too fond of, and Frost is a pretty damn solid spec with a whole load of different talent choices. If Blizzard can manage to keep this pace up and keep content rolling then this could be the best xpac since Wrath (but obviously I'm keeping cautious until we get more than a few weeks in). This has been great. Video games are fun. also got this bad boy lmao

    Shameless SFV shilling thread

    Okay man I'm sorry. I'm sorry I worked a full time 40 hour a week job. I'm sorry that I had a girlfriend who surprisingly I wanted to spend time with. I'm sorry I had friends I wanted to see. I'm sorry I wanted to play other games as well. I'm sorry that you had some skewed idea of me as some top tier player who practiced non stop and was going to help you be the greatest player since Daigo. Simple fact is that you expected me to turn you into some great player, and I told you what I was told. Pick Ryu and learn him. I didn't follow that advice and I turned out as a worse player because of it and I didn't really want the same thing to happen to you. But you kept on saying how you hated Ryu and didn't want to play him. I felt the same in Ultra so I picked up Chun-Li and just started playing her instead. So I told you to pick whoever you thought was cool. But you kept on complaining. You kept on whining when I beat you, and often times ragequitting. Here's a fun fact my dude, I didn't want to spend all my time helping you get better when I could have been "fighting rando's alone" (which is what you're fucking MEANT to do) and getting better myself. But I did it anyway because you took the time to play a game which I was interested in. Here's how I learned Street Fighter 4. I bought the game, bought a controller, and played with Insectan, who at the time was the only person I knew who played it. He fucking destroyed me for months on end (and even at Insomnia 2 years later, he still takes me in almost every single round). But did I go and get mad and complain about how the game was bad, and whine to him about how I should have never bought it. No, I went to websites like Twitch and found people to practice against. People who were all better than me, and who could all tell me what I needed to do to get better. I trained against them pretty frequently, I sat in training mode for hours trying to get my combos down, and my reaction speeds up. I went online and fought random people to get an idea of what to do again certain characters. I did all of that and 244 hours of playtime into Street Fighter 4 I could confidently say that I was an okay player. Street Fighter is a hard franchise. All fighting games are. Nobody helps you get better at it except for yourself and you definitely weren't going to get amazing at the game by only ever playing against me. What I won't fucking stand for is you saying that I forced you to buy the game, I never did a fucking thing like that. I talked about how you should play it and how it would be cool to play it together (because I thought you would have been enjoyable to play with) but I didn't pick up your wallet and fork over your cash. I didn't make you go out and buy a fightpad. You did all that of your own accord and you cannot blame me.

    It's a really big shame that none of the Rogue specs look that good to me this expansion, because I would have loved to stick with my Rogue. As it stands I'm really not sure what to go for. Affliction looks really good but (as we've seen in MoP and WoD up until HFC) it may turn out to just not be as powerful as the others, and I don't want to feel forced to play something else, especially not Destruction which I fucking hate. I'm half tempted by Arms because it looks really really fun now that you have more than 3 buttons to press, and I don't think I would be that upset if I had to play Fury either. I honestly don't know what to do, I'm obviously gonna try every spec I'm interested in when the pre-patch hits, but I really just want to stick with my Rogue. Outlaw looks like it could be good but Roll the Bones quite frankly is one of the most stupid spells I think Blizzard has ever put into the game. The random element could be fun if all 6 of the buffs were correctly balanced, but as it stands you're going to be wasting so many combo points trying to get a good set of buffs which you could get immediately, or you could never get at all through a 15 minute encounter. There's nothing Blizzard can do to make RtB a good ability, if they let you extend the duration of your buffs by re-casting it before your current buffs wore off, then you would just get your raid to pull repeatedly until you got all 6 buffs on the opener, so you could keep them up the whole fight. If they did it so you rotated through the buffs each time you used it then it takes away from the 'dice rolling' fantasy of the skill. I honestly don't like what they've done to Combat at all. They could have kept it completely the same as it was in WoD but they arbitrarily changed it to create some dumb pirate 'class fantasy'. I think I'm most likely going to just go for a Shaman in Legion. I know that they fixed the target changing problems that Elemental had, and re-worked it so it's a very versatile class for both single target and AoE, and Enhancement is going to be what I thought it should have been all along, a proper melee range fighter as opposed to the stupid (but admittedly very fun) multi dotting burst AoE thing it was before.
