Crowd Pummeler change single handedly saving Ferals from being forced to do sweaty behavior for the rest of SoD to stay relevant is the biggest deal here
The only issue I've seen people mention about the pummelers is that the old one had charges with no CD so you could use all 3 for 90 seconds straight of the attack speed buff.
I'm going to say people will prefer using it as a 3 min cooldown they have to obtain once versus a busted charged base one they have to farm indefinitely
24:30 As far as the Chosen of Blood Loa mob goes, what would be REALLY cool is if he had an aggro table that was zone-wide meaning he's going after the players who are killing the most other players, forcing, say, a hunter to keep moving rather than finding some near-inaccessible perch to snipe people from with little-to-zero backlash.
i hope the GDKP ban sticks. id wager for every honest player in there there are 5 who are gold buying and actively contributing to the probelm. if you run GDKPs you are of course goign to buy all the over priced crap on the AH which is also being sold mostly by gold sellers. so the gold sellers inflate the prices of amazing BOE on the AH, makes people say "shit i may as well pay 10 bucks for 200 gold rather than farm for a week" then the gold seller gets paid for the gold, the person then spends that gold on over priced items putting it back int he gold sellers pocket. GDKP 100% effects the economy for the average player in wow SOD, hands down no questions asked. someone was trying to compare GDKP to groups who try to hard res items and i wont even give that any energy because its cringe
@@RamRanchCowboy in the same sneak peek they said they are rolling out new bot and gold RMT tech that theyve been testing, with phase 2, into full production. So maybe there will be an effect, we will have to see
@@RamRanchCowboy banning the gdkp is fix the bots and goldbuying issue. without gdkp there is next to zero reason to buy gold. You dont need alot of gold to be able to play wow week to week raiding. bots wont keep farming gold endless if they are not selling it as much anymore
@@TheDreamingGlory you are the 1% man then. sure maybe its doable in sod because gdkp and botting has not destroyed the economy yet. Look at wotlk the average price of an item is like 50k and on average you can farm max 2k gold an hour or 25 hours of farming just to buy a single item. In sod the average item you buy in a gdkp is like 15g or less or a couple hours of farming gold

You can fix it in the setting so that you can see nameplates across the whole Warsonggulch map for example you go to settings go to top right corner search bar and type name, after that scroll all the way down and under general put the option to 2 and it fixes all that

Honestly, they need to just issue DKP in-game per kill that you get. You can then set DKP as one of the loot options and you bud DKP when those options are highlighted. The more bosses you kill in-game, the DKP you get
On crusader strike horde, a GDKP leader was saying in trade chat they are holding a "summit" with other leaders on how they will continue GDKP into p2...these ppl
23:30 And on PvP realms, you're just screwed. Even if you got a debuff that says you're not worth coins/tokens, no players are going to slow down or stop to check if you have it before just KoS'ing. Now is the time to put their money where their mouths are regarding phasing/layering: this tech could literally allow players to level in STV without worrying about the event at all and just enjoying the normal PvP that comes from gallivanting around STV. 24:00 You know what, fine. People warned against this; pointed out World PvP objectives like towers, etc. as being essential to a world PvP event as it makes players move around and come into contact and conflict with each other. Look at Ashran in WoD: it wasn't perfect, but the PvE objectives informed the PvP conflicts. Without actual objectives besides "kill everyone you see" players are just going to organize a 'fight club' for the Blood Moon event in one static part of STV every time it comes up and, as you pointed out, stand there and trade kills since there is no punishment apparently for doing so.
Disagree on maelstrom weapon only being for enhancement. It really encourages true hybrid playstyle. Tanks will be able to spot heal themselves with a healing wave or chain heal the entire melee group, and throw out an extra chain lightning for adds or a molten blast for a boss. Being able to dualweild while healing will allow for extra dps to be put out, much like wrath of stormrage does for druids.
I really hope this ban doesn’t stick and carry over to the main game otherwise it will be the end of the run for me… I’m not going to waste my time farming shit constantly for Mats and consumables for high end raiding; and no I don’t have the time to learn the stock market that is the AH to make even a snot’s portion that I PERSONALLY made in GDKPs, let me emphasize this, LEGITIMATELY, that could fulfill my consumable requirements for all my chars for hardcore raiding… GDKPs made the accessibility to hardcore raiding doable… if they bring this over to the main classic game, I’m going to be done with this game! IDC what anyone says about GDKPs being the “DRIVING FORCE” of RMT, no it’s not, it’s a symptom at its core that is not an inherent evil! If blizzard is not going to be willing to battle the BOTs and gold buyers but continue to penalize the legitimate playerbase that is affected by the collateral RMT in GDKPs then I don’t want any part of it!
I'm assuming that you can opt out of the event just as a general option if you talk to the emissary, which I will certainly do whilst leveling. I love PvP, but when I'm leveling open world I space out so it's pretty much just a free gank because I'm just trying to chill and I don't see how it's fun for them and it's certainly not for me. BUT, I want the open world PvP once I cap, so yeah, that's why I stay on a PvP server. My own fault really.
I still say that they need to be attached to the rogue itself instead of a target, as this still doesn’t solve the issue of when a mob dies with combo points on it, but it’s a great step forward, nonetheless
I'm really hoping alchemy get something more then the potion we need an epic alchemist stone trinket, we got naff all p1 now a potion every one can use, still gimped a bit compared to crafting multiple epics ie: BS eng,tails eng ,lw eng ect..
They made it sound like these were personal. I don't think anyone can use the potion but Alchemist, and if everyone can use the potion, these become insane moneymakers so a W either way
I love how all the people Ive argued with about GDKPs eventually end up when they run out of arguments saying "You should be able to buy gold if you want to and not face repricusions. If you want to buy gold and then use it in a GDKP then you should be allowed too." They fail to see how it inflates the economy, drives incentive for botting, etc. When you burn down even the argument above then they resort to throwaway arguments like "Its the best loot system (if you buy gold or use bought gold second hand), its the smoothest raids (as if guilds and strategized runs dont exist), and finally the argument that only 'shit' players dislike GDKPs". Its hilarious because it really is the most braindead takes ive ever seen. In the end the people running GDKPs are mad because they won't get free gold to sell anymore. They won't have endless troves of gold to have an infinite wallet anymore, etc.
GDKP will stay, Long live GDKP!!! GDKP is the solution for people who wants to pump but dont want to deal with bad Guildies raiders, thanks to GDKP, I get to kill HLK while my Guild struggling. GDKP is for Dads like me who dont have much time (or raiding time frame) to deal with slow hand raiders but want to clear all the content. GDKP is the way to go and you just have to deal with it staysafe
Bro enhancement shaman - + 30% AS from rune - + 20-30% AS from flurry talent - +50% AS from ACP proc Two handed attack speed is literally gonna be like .4
and it stlll won't be enough.... and people need to stop including auto pummeler as if its part of shaman's package. its for druid and paladin too, and we won't be using this weapon after lvl 40, so what people should stick to is the Flurry + Mastery rune for a total of 60% speed and ask themselves "will this be enough for 2H shaman to function and not be a blatant meme?". even in pvp this buff _sounds_ better than it is, because the reality is you're gonna get perma slowed, rooted and otherwise CC'd to death before you can get more than 2 consecutive hits on an enemy... and now with hunters being able to launch freezing traps, playing enhancement is going to be absolutely absurd.
I have to say, to the people complaining and saying, "People will just find another way to do GDKP runs!" are completely missing the point. We all know there will be ways around it. Whether that is discord channels, or item swapping (X item will cost 500 Soul Dust, or some such thing), or who knows what people will come up with. Of course it's going to happen, heck IRL robbery is actually illegal and people still do it. But again, I think y'all are missing the point, by reducing the demand for gold through GDKP's it will have an impact on gold sellers by dissuading people from buying gold. Right now it is incredibly easy to buy a few hundred or even thousands of gold with the incentive of getting your BIS through a GDKP run. Remove that ready incentive and we can discourage a large number of people from even having a reason to buy gold. Will it stop it? No. You can't prevent everything, and it'll likely highly affect BOE prices on the AH. But, it will have an impact. Throwing up our hands and just letting the market get completely ruined because, "people will find a way, and it won't stop it from happening completely," is a horrible take on the whole issue and is counterproductive in the extreme.
@@MikeyPaper thanks man. It really irritates me seeing all these, what I can only assume, defeatist comments. I seriously question if most of these people arguing in favor of GDKP are actually gold buyers/sellers/GDKP organizers that are now going to be put out of business.
@@Balloonbot I get that. There really didn't need to show us anything. It's not like we won't play phase 2. We're already invested. Let players discover.
@@remyd8767 Look how much hype 2 runes per class has drummed up. It also gets people interested who got bored of P1 early, or brand new players. There' are other players in different headspaces to you out there.
when it comes to wanting to make SOD content more than 10 man. no, 10 man is the sweet spot, 6 bosses, the raid taking around or under an hour is PERFECT for a raid that has a 72 hour lock out
10 man raids kinda suck. Vanilla content should be easy to do, but organizing people should be the challenge. Thats why Molten Core is so great, its not complicated but you need to make many people do what they should.
@@Blue.Diesel For a game aimed at casuals, sitting there for maybe 40 minutes + to find tanks and healers is just boring, sorry. Even making the raids slightly harder at least provides some challenge for the actual game, but spamming LFG is not the addition SoD needs.
@@Balloonbot What? you don't need to find tanks and healers, are you stupid? Play with a guild. Why the hell would you wanna pug? If you wanna buy progress go play mobile games.
@@Blue.Diesel "thats why molten core is so great" Yeah, no, it isnt great, and was never considered a great raid at any point in WoW. Literally a last minute raid slapped together in just hours to have something on release. Ragnaros is basically the only cool thing in the whole raid, and its mostly because of its visuals.
21:50 Honestly, this is not a complaint about the event, but a complaint about how Blizzard is handling servers in SoD. I don't know why they insist on this "mega server" crap knowing full-well they'll have to layer zones, especially popular/crowded ones, instead of just having smaller server max pops. They have all the tools and solutions in place already to combat any issues that arise from more and smaller servers. Opening new servers and/or closing dead ones, offering free transfers, connecting realms (which has worked wonders in retail since Cata): these are all things they have at their disposal to correct any problems that grow from smaller server sizes.
I have seen ppl liking the 2h rune on reddit too. But it not going to be competitive if that's all 2h is getting. (I know we don't know every single rune atm) 1.It's a chest rune which means you're losing +10 hit & spellhit from DW spec rune. 2. only one imbue 3. can't use lava lash
I actually disagree with the spirit rune bit. I was personally pulling off tanks on nearly every boss encounter if i didn't just stand there to drop threat. It was honestly really annoying and this rune will smooth out a lot of problems with threat, especially with big WF crits coming next phase. just my thoughts!
@@Kododie ohh, you're number one is a great call there. They need to look at that i assume, and yeah for the other concerns I'm sure the new belt and feet runes will work nicely with 2H...hopefully lol. Just have to wait and see what kind of runes we get!
@@galeitiaa don't get wrong, I love the ability, but not as a rune. Haven't played with it obviously but I bet it'll just feel bad to waist a rune slot on that. Should be one of those new spell books imo. It's not like blessing of salvation takes up a rune slot ( I say that because blizz wants to balance the factions when it comes to the buffs a pally and shaman bring to a raid)
@@Kododie Will E had a great idea he made with his comunity during a live stream a couple weeks ago. Giving shamans a rune that allows two imbues on a 2h wep, and depending on the combo it'll do different things or abilities. I thought it wasa cool idea. I'd like to see a rune that gives shamans an imbue choice on their shield for tanking too.
honestly its really starting to feel like that... at first i was like "relax guy" when people said this, but now we got concepts like "shadowfrost" and "frostfire" and bloody maelstrom weapon in the game....... thanks for locking shamans into dual wielding, which they repeatedly said was the one thing they did NOT want to do.
38:00 No, you *OPINIONATED* things were problems. The WSG premade thing wasn't really a problem as the solution has been there from the start: if you don't like getting stomped by coordinated premades then make one of your own and play on the same level. Literally nothing is stopping you. Every SoD server has the pop to support making BG premades on either faction. But it's 2024 and players would rather whine on the forums and on YT vids than group up with other players in an old-school MMO. Utterly mind-blowing.
Imagine being a sweat in the casual dad version of the game, except it's even more unimpressive since you have busted runes and gear you never had acces to. GDKP's death has only a postive effect on the main demographic for SoD, and helps curb the inflation as these were the primary method that bought/botted gold is circulated.
@@LowestForm0fwit i love how people are defending GDKP complains how "casual dads cannot get loot without GDKP". Really? you don't have 40 minutes every few days?? If you don't have that why even play...
But it's really never casual noobs that join gdkps, they don't even know gear is important. It's the sweaty tryhards that join gdkps because they want to gear 5 alts at the same time
Guilds just always screw you unless you’re in charge. attending gdkps with alts was the only way you could get what you save up and get what you really wanted on your main. This probably kills the game for me tbh. All those gdkps are just going to be replaced by groups that’s hard res everything, don’t go thinking people WANT to be in guilds where they will just get shafted all the time anymore
30:00 WTF is he even talking about??? OF COURSE having a profession like enchanting helps your throughput as it allows you to make quick and easy gold to buy better gear and consumables with, especially early on in an expansion/phase. No profession needs to be good at the start of a patch/phase/expansion/whatever *and* at the end of one. Once again, screw you if you're a blacksmith: you still don't even get incomparable BoP gear to balance out the income from consumables made by other professions. They should have also given Blacksmiths a consumable to craft that nearly every player is going to want every raid. This profession has been shafted for 20 years with brief, brief sparks of hope (like belt buckles). Enough is enough.
20:55 "The whole song"? They really need to stop having her do presentations and videos. No offense, but her accent is so thick I couldn't understand half of what she said at the Blizzcon panel (or in this presentation), causing me to miss several things on the first viewing as I had to decipher several words while she continued talking. When you're communicating information to people - especially to millions or for a professional capacity - the person communicating needs to be easily understood. Having someone pronounce 2/3rds of the english they're pronouncing with an english inflection and 1/3rd with the inflection from a different language is not communicating effectively. The question you should always ask before having someone present information in a non-native tongue to a large crowd is "would a news station hire this person to report the weather every day?" I know I can't be the only one who thinks this, I just think most people are too "nice" to make this very rational complaint.
What about the ppl in 3rd world countries who are now going to lose their job because of this change? These ppl rely on gdkps to feed and shelter themselves. Now they will starve just b/c you dont like some little P2W mechanic in your video game
If they gonna bann GDKP they have to bann HR pug run system also!!so all players have equal chances on getting loot!! Bad guild officers and HR pugs are they main responsibles for most players to drive them into gdkps so they have more chances on getting-buying loot👌👌
HR doesnt affect anyone who doesnt want to participate, GDKP affects everyone outside the run as well because people are buying and selling gold which effects EVERYONE. HR doesnt do that, just dont group with them like the rest of us sane normal people
@@muzien87 u think soo!!dude its classic anything affects anything its very community based if an item is bis or boe all people hr them caz they want them for themselvs so some people never get the chamce to get their hands on it unless they make their own hr run and then the rest people dont want to help them to obtain the items!!so its also unfair!!thats why dkp,gdkp and sr ms>os are the most fair ways to get loot👌👌 The problem is the bots not the gdkp runs caz some of us we farm our own golds👌👌

Its hilarious because it really is the most braindead takes ive ever seen.
In the end the people running GDKPs are mad because they won't get free gold to sell anymore. They won't have endless troves of gold to have an infinite wallet anymore, etc.
Easily pugable week 1, get gud.
What after banning help the amount of people goes down on servers
Hahahahahaha GDKPs are banned lmao.
lets fucking go!! enhance shaman with maelstrom wep is gonna WRECK !!
No Dual Spec??
Wish raid was 15 or 20 man, looks good besides that.
GDKP will stay, Long live GDKP!!! GDKP is the solution for people who wants to pump but dont want to deal with bad Guildies raiders, thanks to GDKP, I get to kill HLK while my Guild struggling. GDKP is for Dads like me who dont have much time (or raiding time frame) to deal with slow hand raiders but want to clear all the content. GDKP is the way to go and you just have to deal with it staysafe
ya the top 1 percent guild's will still do the gold carry method
41:20 HUGE L why would they do that? So stupid.
Bro enhancement shaman
- + 30% AS from rune
- + 20-30% AS from flurry talent
- +50% AS from ACP proc
Two handed attack speed is literally gonna be like .4
and it stlll won't be enough.... and people need to stop including auto pummeler as if its part of shaman's package. its for druid and paladin too, and we won't be using this weapon after lvl 40, so what people should stick to is the Flurry + Mastery rune for a total of 60% speed and ask themselves "will this be enough for 2H shaman to function and not be a blatant meme?".
even in pvp this buff _sounds_ better than it is, because the reality is you're gonna get perma slowed, rooted and otherwise CC'd to death before you can get more than 2 consecutive hits on an enemy... and now with hunters being able to launch freezing traps, playing enhancement is going to be absolutely absurd.
This preview sounds like an earnings call.
Microsoft fired the camera guy
support class hunter here not a melee hunter TSA will be must trap launcher will not work w/ MM rotation....i see no pve dps increase here
All people gonna do now is give the raid leader gold for the item when he master loots
Can we just go back to dkp... was such better guild system based on participation...
all other class runes: WOW COOL warlock runes: LAME 😅
Redirect for rogue is a lil bit more than QoL that is a direct throughput increase
cant wait to do arcane crystal dkps
Technically bad has 5 epics
I have to say, to the people complaining and saying, "People will just find another way to do GDKP runs!" are completely missing the point.
We all know there will be ways around it. Whether that is discord channels, or item swapping (X item will cost 500 Soul Dust, or some such thing), or who knows what people will come up with. Of course it's going to happen, heck IRL robbery is actually illegal and people still do it.
But again, I think y'all are missing the point, by reducing the demand for gold through GDKP's it will have an impact on gold sellers by dissuading people from buying gold.
Right now it is incredibly easy to buy a few hundred or even thousands of gold with the incentive of getting your BIS through a GDKP run. Remove that ready incentive and we can discourage a large number of people from even having a reason to buy gold.
Will it stop it? No. You can't prevent everything, and it'll likely highly affect BOE prices on the AH. But, it will have an impact.
Throwing up our hands and just letting the market get completely ruined because, "people will find a way, and it won't stop it from happening completely," is a horrible take on the whole issue and is counterproductive in the extreme.
Bravo! Well said!
You can never fully stop something, but making an effort to prevent is better than nothing.
@@MikeyPaper thanks man.
It really irritates me seeing all these, what I can only assume, defeatist comments.
I seriously question if most of these people arguing in favor of GDKP are actually gold buyers/sellers/GDKP organizers that are now going to be put out of business.
Once more warrior runes are extremely boring and dull.
They don't need to be super strong, just more intresting....
i'll take your instant slam rune in trade for the derp 45% threat rune if you feel like you're being treated unfairly.
Finally
Thought this was Season of Doscovery, not Season of Previews
Right? What is there to discover
@@remyd8767 There are much more than just 2 extra runes per class, plus you don't know how to earn them.
@@Balloonbot I get that. There really didn't need to show us anything. It's not like we won't play phase 2. We're already invested. Let players discover.
@@remyd8767 Look how much hype 2 runes per class has drummed up. It also gets people interested who got bored of P1 early, or brand new players. There' are other players in different headspaces to you out there.
when it comes to wanting to make SOD content more than 10 man. no, 10 man is the sweet spot, 6 bosses, the raid taking around or under an hour is PERFECT for a raid that has a 72 hour lock out
10 man raids kinda suck.
Vanilla content should be easy to do, but organizing people should be the challenge.
Thats why Molten Core is so great, its not complicated but you need to make many people do what they should.
I would not mind seeing 20 mans at level 60 but yeah I would not shed a tear if there were no 40 man raids introduced at all.
@@Blue.Diesel For a game aimed at casuals, sitting there for maybe 40 minutes + to find tanks and healers is just boring, sorry. Even making the raids slightly harder at least provides some challenge for the actual game, but spamming LFG is not the addition SoD needs.
@@Balloonbot What? you don't need to find tanks and healers, are you stupid?
Play with a guild. Why the hell would you wanna pug?
If you wanna buy progress go play mobile games.
@@Blue.Diesel "thats why molten core is so great"
Yeah, no, it isnt great, and was never considered a great raid at any point in WoW. Literally a last minute raid slapped together in just hours to have something on release. Ragnaros is basically the only cool thing in the whole raid, and its mostly because of its visuals.
21:50 Honestly, this is not a complaint about the event, but a complaint about how Blizzard is handling servers in SoD. I don't know why they insist on this "mega server" crap knowing full-well they'll have to layer zones, especially popular/crowded ones, instead of just having smaller server max pops.
They have all the tools and solutions in place already to combat any issues that arise from more and smaller servers. Opening new servers and/or closing dead ones, offering free transfers, connecting realms (which has worked wonders in retail since Cata): these are all things they have at their disposal to correct any problems that grow from smaller server sizes.
Awesome, now ban them on Cata !!!
Im loving our 2h enhancement rune, but that spirit of the alpha as a rune is F*CKING STUPID!!
...imo 🤷♂️ haha
I have seen ppl liking the 2h rune on reddit too. But it not going to be competitive if that's all 2h is getting. (I know we don't know every single rune atm)
1.It's a chest rune which means you're losing +10 hit & spellhit from DW spec rune.
2. only one imbue
3. can't use lava lash
I actually disagree with the spirit rune bit. I was personally pulling off tanks on nearly every boss encounter if i didn't just stand there to drop threat. It was honestly really annoying and this rune will smooth out a lot of problems with threat, especially with big WF crits coming next phase. just my thoughts!
@@Kododie ohh, you're number one is a great call there. They need to look at that i assume, and yeah for the other concerns I'm sure the new belt and feet runes will work nicely with 2H...hopefully lol. Just have to wait and see what kind of runes we get!
@@galeitiaa don't get wrong, I love the ability, but not as a rune. Haven't played with it obviously but I bet it'll just feel bad to waist a rune slot on that. Should be one of those new spell books imo. It's not like blessing of salvation takes up a rune slot ( I say that because blizz wants to balance the factions when it comes to the buffs a pally and shaman bring to a raid)
@@Kododie Will E had a great idea he made with his comunity during a live stream a couple weeks ago.
Giving shamans a rune that allows two imbues on a 2h wep, and depending on the combo it'll do different things or abilities. I thought it wasa cool idea.
I'd like to see a rune that gives shamans an imbue choice on their shield for tanking too.
Does he respond ? 😎
🤡
Huge blizz W
Poor locks though wtf
Opting out of the pvp event wont stop you from being ganked lol... ppl already gank you everywhere in the world for no reward 😅
Allowing those who opt out to fight those who are opted in will be abused :/
Some of us are on PVE servers
@@ForbiddenFollyFollower I'm hoping if you choose to opt out you will get put on a different layer
W imo
SoD the new Retail lite.
Not even close.
honestly its really starting to feel like that... at first i was like "relax guy" when people said this, but now we got concepts like "shadowfrost" and "frostfire" and bloody maelstrom weapon in the game....... thanks for locking shamans into dual wielding, which they repeatedly said was the one thing they did NOT want to do.
Pog news!
warlock runes are meh
get REKT GDKP gold-buyers HAHAHAHA
i wonder how many unsubs they got for this🤣
i liked gdkp
38:00 No, you *OPINIONATED* things were problems. The WSG premade thing wasn't really a problem as the solution has been there from the start: if you don't like getting stomped by coordinated premades then make one of your own and play on the same level. Literally nothing is stopping you. Every SoD server has the pop to support making BG premades on either faction.
But it's 2024 and players would rather whine on the forums and on YT vids than group up with other players in an old-school MMO. Utterly mind-blowing.
With gdkp bans shitters r in for a rude awakening when ppl check logs n gearscore loool
Imagine being a sweat in the casual dad version of the game, except it's even more unimpressive since you have busted runes and gear you never had acces to. GDKP's death has only a postive effect on the main demographic for SoD, and helps curb the inflation as these were the primary method that bought/botted gold is circulated.
@@LowestForm0fwit i love how people are defending GDKP complains how "casual dads cannot get loot without GDKP".
Really? you don't have 40 minutes every few days?? If you don't have that why even play...
But it's really never casual noobs that join gdkps, they don't even know gear is important. It's the sweaty tryhards that join gdkps because they want to gear 5 alts at the same time
Guilds just always screw you unless you’re in charge. attending gdkps with alts was the only way you could get what you save up and get what you really wanted on your main. This probably kills the game for me tbh. All those gdkps are just going to be replaced by groups that’s hard res everything, don’t go thinking people WANT to be in guilds where they will just get shafted all the time anymore
@Joe-no7gs how about you ppl who cant do quest, save up golds stop playing
30:00 WTF is he even talking about??? OF COURSE having a profession like enchanting helps your throughput as it allows you to make quick and easy gold to buy better gear and consumables with, especially early on in an expansion/phase. No profession needs to be good at the start of a patch/phase/expansion/whatever *and* at the end of one. Once again, screw you if you're a blacksmith: you still don't even get incomparable BoP gear to balance out the income from consumables made by other professions.
They should have also given Blacksmiths a consumable to craft that nearly every player is going to want every raid. This profession has been shafted for 20 years with brief, brief sparks of hope (like belt buckles). Enough is enough.
God damn i hate lowering the xp needed by 50%.
Get out of here with that and go back to retail.
20:55 "The whole song"? They really need to stop having her do presentations and videos. No offense, but her accent is so thick I couldn't understand half of what she said at the Blizzcon panel (or in this presentation), causing me to miss several things on the first viewing as I had to decipher several words while she continued talking. When you're communicating information to people - especially to millions or for a professional capacity - the person communicating needs to be easily understood. Having someone pronounce 2/3rds of the english they're pronouncing with an english inflection and 1/3rd with the inflection from a different language is not communicating effectively. The question you should always ask before having someone present information in a non-native tongue to a large crowd is "would a news station hire this person to report the weather every day?"
I know I can't be the only one who thinks this, I just think most people are too "nice" to make this very rational complaint.
juicy
What about the ppl in 3rd world countries who are now going to lose their job because of this change? These ppl rely on gdkps to feed and shelter themselves. Now they will starve just b/c you dont like some little P2W mechanic in your video game
Wtf this game find smth to pay your bills.
o7
If they kill GDKP they will also need to kill mage boosting.
why?
the presentation is the most cringe thing I have had to watch..
1
Fake
If they gonna bann GDKP they have to bann HR pug run system also!!so all players have equal chances on getting loot!!
Bad guild officers and HR pugs are they main responsibles for most players to drive them into gdkps so they have more chances on getting-buying loot👌👌
HR doesnt affect anyone who doesnt want to participate, GDKP affects everyone outside the run as well because people are buying and selling gold which effects EVERYONE. HR doesnt do that, just dont group with them like the rest of us sane normal people
@@muzien87 u think soo!!dude its classic anything affects anything its very community based if an item is bis or boe all people hr them caz they want them for themselvs so some people never get the chamce to get their hands on it unless they make their own hr run and then the rest people dont want to help them to obtain the items!!so its also unfair!!thats why dkp,gdkp and sr ms>os are the most fair ways to get loot👌👌
The problem is the bots not the gdkp runs caz some of us we farm our own golds👌👌
just don't join hr lol, there are actually not that many hr runs and most of them desist because no one wants to go with some dude who you wants a free item for organzing

We’re gonna be doing gdkp with items…nothing changes
