One hour of YT content today wahoo!!
we are blessed af thanks tettles for covering it
"Wahoo!!" ... Are you a Mario Brother now? lmao! "It's-a-Me, Tettles!".
BTW this video's Thumbnail is great, A+; but the previous video's Thumbnail was no good, C-.
The twofer is great because I opened up my subscriptions and wasn't sure whether to watch yours or Dratnos' video about the m+ interview. But you're the only one covering the other interview so you won my view here by default! Smart!
First off, just want to say... your content and perspectives on things in the past year or so have been so much more thought out and great, i feel like your content has improved a ton. I feel like you look at things much more objectively and tend to give pros and cons instead of just emotional reactoins as a top 1%... in any case keep it up.
Secondly, if you are still friends (i imagine you are) i would love to see some vids with you and Dratnos even if they are off cuff discord/skype calls where you just go over the stuff together. You guys have been putting out similar videos around the same turnaround as each other, and both versions and discussions are great, but you guys compliment each other so well. Would love to see some Tettles/Dratnos vids in the future if its still in the cards!
Hate to break it to you but Dratnos was never at the same level as tettles or others. He had some luck doing content with some top tier players and got carried back then and blew up overnight. After that you hardly saw him doing high end content.
@@TheAsmodianleader What the fuck does this have to do with my comment? I like both of them... im saying they should do a video together because i like bother their personalities and they funny together.. it has nothing to do with thier rank lol.
Secondly, im pretty sure Tettles and Dratnos are both in that top 1% either way lol... but im sure even he would tell you "on paper" that Dratnos is techincally ahead of him anyways since his guild factually clears the raids faster than Tettles... not that Tettles guild is usually far behind but its just such a wierd response / take lmfao.
Affixes have run their course. It's time to try something else.
For the private aura situation I wish we could have a PTR boss with weakaura turned off and boss specifically made for 0 combat WA (more forgiving assigments etc) to test how people would feel about it. Personally i think private aura could work if they go all the way with it, not just some mechanics randomly being private aura.
Good video
so there is room for pallys have 3 buffs but there is not room for 1 for DK and shammy?
As a druid, a hybrid class. Its wild to me to see that unless im actively regrowthing myself or perfectly using things like nature vigil, im getting outhealed by classes like rogues and hunters
They should make your basic abilities applying a rejuv on you. Rejuv's healing is minimal anyway but atleast it's there and u wom't have to waste an exttra gcd to cast a swiftmend when needed.
14:24 did people just forget that Mark of the Wild from druids is a Dragonflight change?
We need a doomkin video
I really do hope Blizzard reconsiders their stance on raid buffs soon. It just seems so clearly flawed. If they want every class to be brought all the time fine. That's very restrictive but an understandable goal. But then why randomly leave 2 classes out with these weird half measures? Why not just give DK and Shaman a class wide raid buff?
Or if how restrictive raid comps have gotten is a major issue then overlapping raid buffs seems like a fantastic idea to me if done properly.
It really just feels like either stubborness on their end or the unwillingness to put the time and resources towards it.
overlapping raid buffs back in mists was...extremely Okay (tm). it was Fine (tm). their removal felt like nothing of value was lost and raid buffs returning without overlapping felt like a total wet fart.
raid buffs should be gone, period.
It would cool if reclears were just for mog.
Imo the issue with raid buffs is it doesn't feel good to add one to your raid comp. But it does feel bad to loose one.
Parry is largely fine, but getting your cooldown parried (colossus smash) sucks. Should be un parryable
I get where u are coming from with Vet of the thrd war, it is very clearly overtuned defensively compared to other classes. Yet at the same time at no point in all of DF was DK DPS or Tank the Meta choice in M+....
defensive creep... dunno maan, have you seen the amount of shit healers in m+? I'm happy I can sorta kinda keep myself up a while as lock or ret....
For the algorithm
As a pres evoker, yes I am wondering what that monkey dps is doing 40 yards the other side of the boss. That aside, I for one am very much on the side of defensive disarmament. Encounters that aren't *designed* to require you to press them will probably result in everyone having a better time - especially in that 6-10 key range where the vast majority of the playerbase lives. I am tired of watching pugs get oneshot in like... 4s... despite being 'adequately' geared. Pugging is hell because the survivability skill floor is, ahem, too damn high.
Can healers just go on strike already? :)
I just had this crazy idea pop in my head randomly while watching your video about gearing and using gear levels to nerf bosses over time. You know how in Remix you have to upgrade your gear across the board before you can do the next level? What if in live they make it so you can't upgrade past your lowest grade of gear. So if you have say all hero track gear except one or two pieces of champion, you can't upgrade any of it past max champion until you have filled all slots with hero track gear. Obviously something like this would take some cooking and brainstorming to make it work well but that would help with the super fast gearing causing things to no longer be naturally nerfed over time by gear.
Boy a little late to this party, aren't we
Really don't understand why blizz doesn't just copy other mmos for how they do telegraph systems to resolve mechanics. You can still make them uniquely wow looking, just need to have some rules behind how they appear visually sort of thing ie, a soak will always have a swirl graphic/effect or something along those lines.
Ive been asking for stuff on the ground to be more visable for years i just dont understand why they dont even make it very clear where the border of a ground effect actully is like the standard brown swirlies.
Wildstar had great telegraphing while being difficult at the same time
They do tho? Are you ok?
They do though. Have you been playing retail at all?
this interview felt so bad and disengaged from the player base. Ive heard more and more healer mains and players who never play another role thinking about swapping roles for TWW because there has been no thought about healer experience. It took them an entire expansion to even acknowledge known issues discovered by the community. There were zero planned solutions and supposedly discussion happening internally but there has been no evidence in TWW beta or alpha to support that change is coming in any form. They increased health bars in Dragonflight; we all know that did not solve the problem. There has been an abundance of Fights where it's either no healing to be had or it's a one-shot check where you push the button or you die.
Blizzard has sent Alpha and Beta so unrefined and with so little time left before launch that the player base can't have meaningful discussions on changes to help push a better macro environment for incoming damage and healer experience. While I am excited about TWW I am very disappointed with the way that this expansion has been developed. Blizzard has taken almost zero community feedback. They seem to be pushing an expansion with very little innovation and are ignoring community concerns. There is an entire role in the game that is mass re-rolling and overall it feels like nothing is being done to correct the problem. and that it is tough to see any major changes coming in the form of the macro environment.
I know based on these interviews if we don't see significant changes to Defensive Cooldowns, Augs, Raid buffs, Player Self sustain, Incoming Damage, and Encounter Design. If this isn't tackled on a macro level then I will not be returning to the healer role for this expansion. It's simply not fun standing around being the 4th dps while there is nothing to heal. It is also not fun watching my team die as there is no agency on if ability one shots them. I want to play healer but i will not play healer in another expansion with the same macro environment as dragonflight.
I understand that making these changes would be a significant undertaking but I believe pushing TWW without making these changes would be the wrong move for the game. I believe that if blizzard truly wants to push a good expansion they need to delay the release a couple months and put all hands on deck to make the changes that need to happen. The trinity of this game needs to be restored and iterated on and it is worth delaying the expansion to correct it!
Weakauras also gets mechanic packs for Classic raids, let's not pretend like players won't immediately look to solve raid mechanics with them and have for decades. There's no complexity threshold in practice.
The existence of a mod like weakauras is the problem because then they (as they've stated) design fights with those tools in mind. WA just needs to go, frankly.
They keep talking about Mythic, but they take months to tune heroic too. I'd argue more players raid heroic than Mythic. Heroic has the unique problem that is ALWAYS scales badly and sometimes is not even doable in small groups. I get people can pug 30 people and mow the raid down, but guilds still exist and raid as guilds. Having to wait for nerfs for a boss to become numerically possible with 10-12 people is super annoying (for example Rygalon was literally not doable in a 10 man group until the first round of severe nerfs). And unlike Mythic, no heroic player gonna complain something was killed 200 pulls too soon. Heroic players don't stick around that long - if they can't kill a boss for 2 weeks, they'll just quit.
I saw this happen in real-time with my heroic raid guild during season 3. Not only is Fyrakk completely untuned for less than 20 players, the ghosts are also bugged at low head counts, making it even harder than it already was. Needing to pull in pugs to secure the kill and get AotC completely killed the spirit of the guild, and at this point it's unlikely we're coming back as a group for TWW. Heroic raiders just won't deal with overtuned nonsense; if they can't get their kill with a reasonable amount of effort, they just leave, and the guilds become hollow shells of what they once were.
Between the lackluster Season 4 and what I've been seeing for the new expansion, think I may just hang up my WoW hat for a while. Pretty mind blown about the Aug stubbornness. Talk about doubling down on a failure.
Failure? or salty af cuz you cant play it and its required for content?
@@Asd-ug8fo Aug is extremely problematic and anyone above 3k io or pushing CE is acutely aware. It's super easy to play but that's irrelevant; makes Frost DK feel complex but nobody cares, that's not the issue. Having an Aug locked in your M+ comp when it's the most boring, easiest spec to play is not fun. The difference between a good Aug and a great Aug is not skills, it's how much they look at spreadsheets and how well they use OmniCD to track DPS CDs.
The fact that it lowers a key level by 2 or 3 is insane and it will lock Aug in your comp forever unless they change M+ so damage done is the friction point to time keys and not surviving one-shot mechanics.
@@Asd-ug8fo Thanks for showing you're the one who doesn't get it.
Aug has actually ruined wow. Season 1 was so good. Aug being locked in terrible. We’re never going to have variation in m+ again compared to s1 where we could play anything
How do you upload a 40 min video without chapters and expect ppl to watch it?
