Forever Take a guess at what these comments are referencing.

Post image

No cheating. Votes are removed as to not sway your opinion. There is a point to this semi-meta post at the end.

Please do guess, what is something so bad as to make a top 1% commenter doom harder than during WoD, Shadowlands, or this last week on retail? Something that can be deemed their worst design decision of all time? No RP-PvP? Store mounts? Drumroll please....

Its actually about the change/nerf to Touch of the Grave racial.

The drama-queen behaviour is insane in here. This sub has lost the plot entirely. I'm not exactly excited by the 25s ICD, its arbitrary, odd, and not represented in the tooltip, but this is a single target consistency increase, and fix for mass aoe topend and nasty interactions like prot paladin reckoning as they keep getting more health and procs in the endgame. The right response would be posts detailing WHY this is/feels bad, and suggestions/feedback to change it, if you feel that way. Hell, those posts should have come to light before as we knew it was OP for certain things, but instead good solutions were downvoted by people who thought this would make it to live in its OP iteration. Because they wanted to abuse it. You did this to yourselves.

I'm still rolling undead warrior. 4500 health(World first Rag 2019 had 4700+ with buffs 6 days into Classic as DPS warrior) and 2rppm at level 60 is 2x the healing of trolls passive regeneration (without spirit stacking), and does about the same damage as blood fury or berserking on average (0.5%, assumung around ~900 sim DPS for Fury that I've seen going around, obviously this is with old gear so take it with a grain of salt). It will be more than that for prot, which does lower damage, but still gets the value. It will also scale beyond these numbers obviously, as we get more health, just as the other racials scale with gear. I will agree though, this isnt ideal for classes with less health, being rogue/mage/priest generally. I'm hoping we get a 3rd pass on it.

And don't give me a "its obviously sarcasm or hyperbole". This is 3 comments in a sea of people on this sub essentially ragebaiting THEMSELVES mostly, and others as a sideeffect. Its also not the only topic recieving this kind of reaction. Get a grip. You are souring real feedback posted by flooding every post with unreasonable outrage, and we are only worse off for it.

/rant over I guess. State your stance in the comments if you'd like, but I'm done arguing with people that cant articulate past their first negative thought of any subject. Its kind of embarrasing on my part to have been doing that until now. Realizing as I type this I should prob just take a break from this sub until a couple of weeks after launch when these types have quit.

Edit: Seems I was onto something here. I dont feel as schizo now, thanks. 87% upvote ratio so far (at 250) on this post for those curious. Seeya at launch

I agree this sub has gone insane.

I read it because I'm excited about Forever and I wanted to follow conversations about it. But holy shit literally every time I open the sub it's just more incessant whining and drama.

I get not everyone is going to like everything but there's a line. If these are the people I'm supposed to be playing with next month, I honestly do hope a lot of them keep their own promises and just quit.

Same. Need to unsub from this subreddit for a bit tbh. Miserable lot.

u/Sick_Nerd_Baller 12h ago

This is how every game sub ends up into a whining echo chamber. The sane people leave as they recognize it's affecting them negatively and only the mentally ill people stay.

I just hope the developers don't take too much stock in what reddit is saying because it's a very bad place to gather feedback.

u/G-r-ant 16h ago

Goes for most game subs tbh, the game is good and people are so desperate to be angry about something.

u/voidHavoc 15h ago

This sub is full of a majority grown ass men (at this point) still acting like they're 14 back in '05. Arguably worse, as back then they just shut the hell up and played/enjoyed the game. Entitled as all hell now. There is legitimate feedback, then there is bitching. 90% of what I see is bitching.

The majority in this subreddit need to realize that if you want pure classic, go play Classic. WoW: Forever is literally not classic. It's in classics world but is a new take on the game.

24

u/Doobiemoto 14h ago

The best part is they WEREN'T 14 back in 05. They like to pretend they were Vanilla WoW players but I noticed when Classic was first launching and all these people had their opinions and they were "totally Naxx raiders".

Before account history could be hidden (you can still see if even if hidden) you could tell by their posts they were like 5-8 when vanilla came out.

The VAST MAJORITY of this sub are Wrath babies (as people who actually played Vanilla called them).

And I GUARANTEE if TBC or Wrath released today as an expansion for classic and we had no knowledge of them these same people would be screeching that they are retail.

The best part of the OP is:

There's so much of this going on with this game and all the different WoW subs. People are all over threads intentionally misrepresenting something about the game and getting mad about it.

The circlejerks are insane. Biggest culprit is any post about group EXP or shamans.

u/DeltaT37 16h ago

there were like 2 weeks where everyone was hyped and then the freaks who spend 95 hours a week minmaxxing their optimal play started getting involved and then you started seeing posts about "how can people judge me for how I want to play" and whatever good heartedness and fun vibes WF had has gotten lost.

u/Barnhard 16h ago

The mass negativity about WoW Forever on this sub has been here since the game was announced, starting with the Skyborne.

12

u/c_is_for_nose_8cD 14h ago

To be fair, the skyborne did make me roll my eyes a bit when announced, but that was the extent of my emotional response. Easy solve though, I just won’t roll one!

But yea this sub reddit is almost as cancerous as the trade chat at times, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s spent more than 5 minutes playing the game.

Finally, for what it’s worth, I and everyone I’ve played with thus far is having a blast and excited for launch, myself included.

5

u/Skore_Smogon 14h ago

the skyborne did make me roll my eyes a bit when announced

This was my initial reaction too.

But then when they dropped their lore I got interested because I'm kind of a nerd about wow lore and I also like alternative timeline stuff so I'm fully prepared to get excited and then ultimately disappointed in whole new ways.

u/Seekzor 15h ago

I am not so sure its only or at all the minmaxer crowd that is the problem here but rather the players who think they would be amongst the best players in the world if they "only had time to play all day" crowd.

3

u/Jedi_2113 16h ago

It's not just those types though is the problem. This game can't be for everyone by its nature and its just constant here on who comes out of the woodwork complaining about some change and how the devs are so out of touch.

2

u/DeltaT37 14h ago

my personal fave is the people who are like "i spend money on this game, my opinion is worth more than the dev" like no man if you want that to be the case go design your own game.

u/needconfirmation 13h ago

No, a lot of them are larping, or bots.

I saw many many comments yesterday in the RP-PVP threads of people lamenting how flagging ruins PVP specifically because people can just unflag themselves if they are losing.

Comment after comment saying how they expect every time they get into a fight and start winning the other person will just Unflag and run away.

A thing you cannot and never have been able to do in any version of wow ever.

Some of the things people are getting upset at also directly contradict my experience of playing the beta every day.

u/Baptism-Of-Fire 13h ago

I am frustrated with the sub and I'm actively managing myself to not let it detract from my hype.

The problem is, seemingly, the terrible takes from this sub are actually leading to game changes that are actively chipping away at my hype for the game.

u/foomits 15h ago

I think it speaks to just how excited people really are about this release. If all we are arguing about is sort of... ultimately benign decisions, its generally a good sign.

u/Other-Read758 14h ago

This is why spriests got their issues ironed out. To the point feedback. Spriest community came together for a day and made a well thought out and written page of issues most agreed on, and put it on beta forums. It became top post of beta forums. 2 weeks later, spriest gets sizable changes that are mostly very in line with the desired changes in the spriest forum post. Thats how it should be done. Professionally to the point with no whining or insults.

u/SkiaTheShade 15h ago

Totally agree. I’m about at the point of just leaving from this sub so I don’t ruin the game for myself. Every. Single. Fucking. Thing feels just like negative whining and complaining because people can’t handle the idea that not everyone gets everything and that not everything is perfectly balanced. If a racial prevents you from being able to enjoy the game, or unable to play the game(participate in content) then fuck right off.

u/PMME-SHIT-TALK 15h ago

Feel like I visit this sub once a week and every time it’s 20 of the same posts all referencing some streamer video or recent popular post about some new game destroying issue. 3 types of comments are “doesn’t seem like that big of deal”, “this is so true I actually thought this too before your post but never said anything about it, this is why I’m not even going to play Forever, this is not fixable and blizz doesn’t give a shit about us, can’t and won’t fix it and hopes we all fucking die” and some guy commenting on this sub being dramatic and/or that the complaints being overblown, with the top reply to that comment being “feedback is how this gets fixed, this game is fucked if it ships with this issue at launch, complaining about complaining is so weird to me, blizzard asked us to give feedback”. Rinse and repeat.

u/Demoniology 16h ago

u/BarryAllensMom 15h ago

I feel like bots have taken over this subreddit. A lot of the comments are just "Generic negative comment".

Blizzard stated Mages were getting new spells a month ago. Melt down over the new spells. Blizzard said each DPS spec was going to have 3-4 buttons in a 10 second rotation. Arcane mages with 2.... Meltdown over them getting a 3rd.

It's just nonsense and a lot of it exists because the Devs revealed that they are willing to listen to the community.

Back in the day it took a fucking campaign to get the Devs to listen to their wow forum posts.

I'm all in on the Devs telling the "social" communities to fuck off and do their thing. The game is already a success and it's only in beta. They don't need to pander to bot posts.

u/QuePasol 15h ago

Yeah some nuanced feedback or criticism backed up by substantiated arguments is fine, and there have definitely been plenty of great posts and comments that go into detail to explain their point of view in a respectable manner. 

However, there are also quite a lot of people (weirdly usually 1% commenters for some reason) that just overreact on every change or every decision they don't like with some hyperbolic dooming declaring the game dead on arrival. 

Be it because of the accidental Outlaw Sabre nerf, disagreeing on dungeon philosophy or any small or big topic you can think about. 

While sometimes I agree with them that a certain change or decision is questionable or maybe dislike it, the level of absolute drama queen behaviour is really starting to annoy me by now. Probably better to just ignore this toxic sub if you don't wanna kill any excitement you have for the game by now.

u/Cant_Spell_Shit 16h ago

There's a mixture of people who recognized that racials weren't balanced very well and people who are mad because the race they wanted to play got nerfed.

Yesterday's changes did a great job of bringing the racials closer in line IMO. Not perfect but much better than they were before.

2% increased crit damage may as well be nothing though.

Crits are double damage already. Let’s say a normal hit is 100 damage, and a crit is 200 damage. That means you now do 202 damage instead of 200.

They may as well just get rid of racials at this point if they’re going to be that useless. This is just an observation, not a complaint.

I think the second paragraph is one that many of us could write, as we watch people argue over stuff that‘s insignificant 99% of the time, and maybe has an effect 1% of the time.

This is only because some basement dweller neck beards complain like 3 year olds that they’re not going to be able to parse 100% because x race has y racial and they would much rather jerk off to z race while also mashing those 3 buttons in raid. The real problem with this game is with the community.

Yeah I really love the racial identity of being a human priest that can't use swords, or an orc mage/warlock that cant use axes

Really fucking fun and sick dude

this place clearly isnt good for your mental health OP if it has you stalking random redditors

just go to the main wow sub where you can pretend the retail driven garbage they keep revealing bit by bit is actually good and the devs are literal gods

u/Southern_Salary_2253 16h ago

I'm sure its something even less petty than this, but knowing Classic Andy's, I'm going to say it's about Legacy Talents, specifically the one to remove the need for vendor reagents on class spells.

Edit: Yeah, doesn't surprise me at all lmao. When your identity is playing a 2004 game for 25 years, you kind of make a mountain out of a molehill over every time detail.

u/Dabeston 15h ago

It’s because the devs actually read the reddit and controversial talk is engaging so it stays on the front page.

So bitching and whining is the best way to get the devs to look at your issue. Stupid system, they should not even look at the reddit.

1

u/marmarzipan 15h ago

It could be literally anything with this subreddit. Blizzard is giving us the coolest addition to wow in 20 years and this sub will tell you why it’s actually the worst thing that’s ever happened. Every post, just a bunch of miserable SOBs.

I agree i think most changes are goin in decent direction sure not everything is perfect but they can slowly adjust
This sub needs Purge (Arthas was right)
Im still wondering which race to go for my Warrior Tonk

Ima just gonna enjoy my WoW Forever like all the people that are not on reddit All the whining honestly is stupid and way to negative to me, sure u can give critiscm but i see more whining everyday rather than usefull advice how you would change something for better.

u/shafty17 15h ago

I think it's important to recognize that most people like myself that were interested in the beta for actually testing things out or figuring out which class to main have done that and are playing much less at this point. The remaining people still going hard are the sweatiest nerds going for their lvl 30 BiS in a beta that is about to wipe. The community feedback at this stage is probably not that representative of the whole

OP, I think your mistake is expecting a top 1% commenter to be reasonable in the first place.

u/The_MrShine 15h ago

To be fair, complaining incessantly about class balance and racials really brings that early 2000s Blizzard forum feel to WoW Forever.

Thank you whiners for helping recreate the original WoW experience.

1

u/MasahikoKobe 15h ago

When i read the comment i was like: "This could be literally anything at the moment". Seeing it was the Undead thing it makes me think that most people really just want to be playing an ARPG where they are so broken they can just destroy the screen.

I just want to get into the world and see where this shit goes. Maybe i have played enough other MMOs where balance and whatever is happening is just part of the game. I just want to play the game, have fun meeting people and doing content and playing with the guild. Maybe ill be overpowered one day. Maybe ill be average forever as long as the game is fun thats what matters.

1

u/Background_World_713 15h ago

Blizz must be doing a great job because according to different posts on this reddit somehow every class is simultaneously OP but also terrible and won't ever get invited to raids. perfectly balanced

1

u/Wassa76 14h ago

I plan on playing Alliance, but this racial sucks.

The consistency has improved which is great, but together with the cooldown it’s a nerf.

Why? Because you don’t want to lifesteal at the start of the fight.

I’m not against the cooldown, but it should be an activateable ability to get value from it, or the effect should be lowered, but always applied so each attack drains less life (speed/caster normalised).

u/mmmmiksu 14h ago

making it ppm made sense but now it's too far in the other direction. 10-15s would be ideal and if that's too strong make it 3%

For what it's worth, I truly hate the idea of changing something from a proc to a ppm. Didn't read the whole thing about how animated they got about it though. That doesn't make it a bad change.

Reddit is fucking mental as a whole. Holy shit I would love the devs to just ignore it altogether.

1

u/userrnam 13h ago

Anything related to class/race balancing isn't even on my radar. Maybe people are thinking the game won't have any balance patches after launch? That's my only guess to explain this behavior. It's all subject to change... forever.

u/thunderwhalepicnic 13h ago

Either an lfg tab or the dungeon xp, those are my guesses

u/ifarmer7 12h ago

As a pretty casual player (an hour or two a night, a few days a week) I honestly could not care about racials and what changes they make. Honestly if a % goes up or down here and there who really can tell? If you're in a duel, 1% damage with swords vs 2% damage is probably not going to be a difference maker. Why are people making such a big deal about small changes?

1

u/ExtraTea8601 12h ago

All damage should be reduced across the board.  Vanilla WoW is too easy in 2026. Forever should increase difficulty to remain analogous with people trying to play on old hardware, bad internet, and not understanding that game under the hood in 2004.

1

u/Jooylo 11h ago

Yeah people are crazy. One comment someone will say races don’t really matter actually and if you want to min max then just choose another race, that it’s actually good to have imbalance. Then something is nerfed/changed on their race and go berserk because they didn’t really mean any of what they said and actually care a bit too much lol. Mostly talking about Orc who still have some of the best racials btw.

Undead racial seemed a little overtuned for solo content in some classes, but they did maybe scale it back too much.

1

u/droneral666 11h ago

25s ICD seems a bit much considering the chance of it to proc but there not being an ICD at all is a really really really strong on AOE-ing classes.

1

u/gmfreak1991 11h ago

The fact you calculated your dps, health, and health Regen at level 60 to min/max your class to pick given some beta test is worse than what your complaining about.

What made classic wow great was players choosing what race and class to pick based on what they thought looked and felt cool, and nothing else. Screw you and everyone like you for ruining a great game. I will not be playing, you guys fucking SUCK and the social aspect of this game can never be captured again

u/Kaiyuni- 10h ago edited 9h ago

My guess are the racial changes. To be fair, the racial changes are bad. They aren't game-ending horrible and can be changed a lot sure, but they are still bad. I'm willing to give blizzard time to cook on these to be honest. What I'd like to see is all purely active racials and no passive ones. Or if there are passive ones, at least make them more interesting. I play human myself and I just see "Oh I get 2% more crit chance. Okay." and it leaves my mind forever. I don't ever have to think about it.

u/Antipatrid 9h ago

I'd respect this a bit more if the psychosis was homegrown authentically in a deranged person's brain but half the time its someone parroting a streamer's opinion more loudly and more extremely as a form of masturbatory in-group signalling. No actual conscious thought taking place at all.

I love the “I’m done, not playing this shit” when you know that they’re gonna be here on day one. This one is funny too since this racial never even existed in classic. It was also clearly OP and was going to be absurd at max level.

Had to unsubscribe from this sub. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m just excited for a new WoW, I play the beta, have fun, come here and it’s like 9/11 happens every day. There should be a study on how this place gets whipped into a savage frenzy every patch when something is a little wrong.

Yeah they’re dramatic, but it would suck to see the race or class you’re planning to play “Forever” get a massive nerf.

Obviously they’re overreacting in a beta though.

Hopefully they dial it back a bit on this one btw.
