I have no idea what these streams are, but the support has been insane, thanks for letting me live out a dream and experience growth that I didn't think was possible 6 years in. Thanks for the hosts tonight @cdew_wow, @Slootbag, @staysafegg you guys own
Following a meeting this morning I have been able to formally submit for contract release from Method. My heart goes out to the victims, you shouldn't have had to go through this :( We stand by you
Feel like the solution to people getting multiple rank 1s on a single class / account is to extend the # spots by one each time. Seems win win - they get recognition for playing multiple characters into range, the entire ladder gets to benefit from them creating more queues
Friendly reminder that the UA lock thing going around isn't a bug - it's an exploit. They're doing "something" outside of arena to make it hit for a trillion in arena. Supposedly you can mitigate by dispelling soul rot before they can get the death bolt off
Imagine you were doing M+ keys and you were stuck doing +9s the entire season, and as the ladder slid (deflated) you got gear but actually couldn't even complete 8s anymore. Some level of auto-progression over the season is necessary to keep the ladder invigorated, big shame :(
Hearing that a lot of people are still leaving shuffles. Keep in mind this message doesn't say after next week - they could action you for leaving these last few weeks, too.
Also before this next series regardless of outcome I want to mention how proud I am to be part of this team. @Samiyamx might be blocked on my Twitter but you really stepped up
Blizzcon is back and we're going to be there 😤🎉
Keep an eye on @Warcraft and @WoWEsports for all the action. In the meantime you can read more here - blizz.ly/466fzMu
Honestly don't know what to say, that's one of the nicest things that's been said about me and coming from someone as good as you means even more. Thanks dude, ggs this week and good luck cup 3 ❤️
Your adventures in #Dragonflight are just beginning!
With six updates planned for 2023, we're looking to deliver more content to players more often.
EP @TheWindstalker on the road ahead: blizz.ly/3WeBHPZ
ALT A roadmap graphic, outlining the planned content releases for 2023 with banners representing each of the six planned updates. The first two banners describe minor patches 10.0.5 and 10.0.7 with a list of features. The next banner describes details for Season 2 coming with patch 10.1. The fourth and fifth banners describe minor patches 10.1.5 and 10.1.7. The final banner describes patch 10.2 and Season 3. Each banner has bullets of planned features and text at the bottom reads “Content and timing subject to change.”
Insane stream thanks to hosts from @RichWCampbell, @EsfandTV and @cdew_wow. Unfortunately I was a little bit afk right after @EsfandTV's host :( huge night, thanks for watching
Notes are kinda weirdly written, should show the value with CC reduction for direct comparison (Shows kidney being 6, but it's 5.1>5, shows poly as 8 but it's 6.8-->6). Orc racial _needs_ to be removed from the game though, it has no place now
DK changes seem to have made it, tooltip from 30-->24.x%, then an additional 50% nerf in PvP from damage taken from players (will not show up in tooltip). Pretty rough, might be weaker than BfA?
This way they don’t take up spots from other players (gating rank one by having 5 of the same class currently feels like a bad thing), but these players creating queues should be a good thing
Tough job, you handle yourself very well though. I did really enjoy your interview last year with Ven, even if not a whole bunch is revealed I personally love just hearing where your mind is at with the game. Excited for what you guys have done with DF
24 hour stream was really fun, definitely doing that again. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out, and thanks to my friends for keeping me awake and busy. See you guys tomorrow evening hopefully!
Want to float an idea by people a supplement to the idea of solo q: force everyone to queue from one spot (say Maldraxxus with Warmode on). Flight path, queue area, and GY inside of a sanctuary bubble. Surrounding area FFA (no factions). Wqs and events while in qs for conq/honor.
Got some more exciting stuff from @Massdrop to try! 2 sets of headphones (one for Rainbow, too) and the Ctrl keyboard that lets you swap in different switches easily for each key
@WarcraftDevs you can currently buy and sell Trophy of Strife on the AH - This lets you effectively buy ilevel421 today in PvP - undermines the entire system
Think we’re starting to see the start of a patch of instability which is exciting though not for me as a DK. This might feel more like a new expansion than shadowlands as a whole has so far, don’t think healers are going to have all of the tools anymore. Fun unstable games ahead?
Have been using the new Alienware Pro Line Mouse + Keyboard for a week now. Wireless + lightweight mouse have been amazing so far - both are ultra comfortable to use too

Personally don't think upgrading racials fixes problems much, best case you force people to pay to play different races. Would be more fun to just pick a race for aesthetic and de-couple their player power
Its so strange that we’re using all data here yet Brewmaster monks got nerfed harder than assa rogue, taking the entire ladder into account why do you think that is?
What do people think about the HP increase in beta arena? Personally feel like it makes it even more CD driven, feels very BFA-like outside of CDs. Personally think crit dmg modifier should shift down before HP shifts up too much

This wasn't added until ICC afaik, it would just cause players to legit sit in old world and not engage in Northrend content at all to avoid potential server issues. You'd just sit in a 5 stack and spam queue from somewhere else. Not a fan of this as a change
Played every season, the seasons that went the hardest were the ones that got pve players involved. Walling pvp off and giving no incentive to pve players is cutting off 75% of your potential audience. Think S1 Shadowlands. More players = lower barrier to entry
Personally think lack of inflation (or even just something to counter deflation as people quit over a season) has meant people qing other forms of rated PvP have seen 0 progress from week1. Pretty unfortunate to experiment with this after a decade of inflation
So excited, got a present from @BlueMicrophones that I can't wait to share with you all! Can already say the headphones are by far the most comfortable that I've ever worn
While our staff was working from home this year we took advantage and leveled up our office!
Join @LiquidHbox and @LiQuiD112 for a tour of the newly expanded and refreshed @Alienware Training Facility 👾
I do think some HP increase is good though, maybe with healing decreasing directly too in PvP (also hitting self-healing etc). Feel like for SL the crit damage modifier increase was always a bit much, it's the biggest modifier that there is and the easiest to adjust

Think the mmo has left the queue system, this would just be raw pvp while in queue but with no real downside - you die but res in a bubble. Iterate with poweups, bounties. Sit and watch a bloodbath with people and find other people interested in pvp instead of in Oribus with afks
If any frost DKs hit max and are curious about talents / etc for PvP I made a longish guide at piped.video/watch?v=NHbP4dVx…. It's nothing special, but maybe helps you with your covenant choice if you're bored while leveling. Enjoy leveling everyone
Agree, wish that the original design of the spell could be changed to something that would associate the damage with the priest rather than haste - doesn’t need to be a destructive mechanic but people are going to naturally try to compete :(
