WoW jumped the shark 2-3 expansions ago but now that Kotick is gone, it’s been coming back. The devs are actually allowed to work on things they and the players want.
I was a hater but I actually love the current expansion and am looking forward to this. They stole skyriding from Guild Wars and we’ve been asking them to keep going - a ground mount upgrade to make it worthwhile over flying sounds awesome to me.
I’ve got an idea as to why.
I went to mastodon.social and see a Linux meme, some heavy political commentary, and a bunch of posts about mastodon being better than Twitter.
I then went to bluesky.app and see some political riffing, cute animals, a comic, some jokes, a company, and even Don Lemon.
The average person checking them both out for the first time, mastodon is nerd shit and Bluesky is normal shit.

That fight is in my top 10 gaming experiences for sure
Every generation thinks they invented the things they appropriated
No, dad, I need to kill Raphael!
I’m not sure what’s worse…implying that 99% of humans are insects or that the 1% is better than the rest
I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn’t popular headline material
For 2, I initially thought the same thing…but Trump is on board to “finish the job” in Palestine. I’m sure all the countries controlled by a corrupt Muslim government have SOME mixed feelings on the orange turd.
Either way, I’m glad it failed. Just imagine the Christ allegory his cult would spin out of it.
So it seems! Oh well, no hard feelings here
Are we reading the same thread? Nowhere in the comments does OP ask for UK-specific terms. OC said “the sticks” doesn’t mean poor (agreed) and mentioned what the UK. OP accepts then asks for a better term and I replied with my anecdote.
“Backwoods” is what my friend calls the poor part of “the sticks” so I believe my reply was relevant
…where did OP ask for UK-specific terms? I didn’t say “the estates” was wrong, I answered OP’s question in a comment chain that happened to start with a UK terms for poor neighborhoods…
Local terms will surely vary, he’s from the US east coast
I’ve never played this but I want to buy it now just to support the devs
He is up by FIVE MILLION votes as of this comment. Fuck the red states
It surely wasn’t random. There’s people out there who don’t want you to have anything for free
My friend grew up in the type of neighborhood you’re describing and he calls them “backwoods communities”
Why do people like things that I don’t like? I don’t understand
Yeah it’s not flawless by any means but they have been receptive to fan “demands” and are being uncharacteristically transparent about it. Like making everything cross-faction is a huge project and they were upfront about the initial jankiness and the inevitable slow rollout. Right now the only things that haven’t been made cross-faction/realm are LFG/LFR and mail.
You can really feel that Kotick is gone and that the devs are actually excited to work on stuff. It’s very telling that so many old players who swore it off are back for TWW and loving it - including my friend who quit for FF14.
My only real gripes with the game are with the engine and I imagine they’re a lot harder to fix…but I would be smitten if shit like trees and awnings would stop blocking my camera in dungeons. And if ground effects didn’t clip into the terrain.
