BadLuckMax also snagged several pieces of ill-gotten Mythic gear, including the unfortunately named Rushed Beta Launchers boots which, being leather (and thus useless on a Paladin) feels like a brutal jab at Blizzard.

Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.

from cata on you got 5% bonus to your primary stat for wearing your armour class, so plate for example on pally. but gear works differently in retail so all plate has strength and int on it so you really have no reason to use cloth or leather

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

You get some kind of bonus if you wear your classes preferred armor type iirc.

Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience!

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!!

Any% clear!

Wow is still a thing?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 43 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 13 points 6 hours ago

It's a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 11 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 4 points 9 hours ago

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a hot minute.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don't they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago

checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah...

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

I've been living under quite a rock then, haven't heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world -2 points 4 hours ago

No you don't.
