Re: Rant Thread
So this morning when I woke up, the most stressful thing I had to worry about was whether or not I'd be able to get something done on Deviantart before the deadline.
Then I saw a message on Facebook, my Mom is coming for a visit (She lives in Australia, I live in Canada). My Mom and I have a tentative relationship...When you get hurt badly by someone, it's not exactly a smooth road to recovery and her living in Australia is very much a good thing, IMHO.
She's also coming right before my Birthday...fck! I have plans *STRESS* (until later in the day I found out that she won't be intruding on any plans, and I can "Fit her in where ever") *WHEW*
Got a text from my Sister while walking home from picking up the kids from school...she's taking the kids (they have 3) and leaving her Husband...Which would explain why my mom is making a trip to Canada in the winter time (She HATES the cold).
Honestly, not really surprised by this...though I am more surprised her Husband didn't leave her (shes one of those really demanding types who starts nagging her husband as soon as he get home from work...also, she's a stay at home Mom) (*Note, I am a mostly stay at home mom (I work weekends) but I understand that you can't expect someone who's worked hard all day to earn a paycheck and then expect them to come home and start helping around...They need to be able to come home, relax/unwind for a bit)
I feel really bad for him. I know I am not there to see everything, but everytime I have been over, I've seen how poorly she treats him. He also has health issues, and I've never felt that my sister fully understood how that affects people.
So, yeah...it's been a really awesome fcking day.

Re: Rant Thread
Ugh My Adobe programs stopped working because Adobe decided to shut down their old authentication servers and I can't register them. No one comes to the help chats, no one answers their phones. I have decided I hate them. I can't afford to pay them for their newer versions so I got Affinity since it seemed the most illustrator like. It works okay, but it feels like I'm a surgeon trying to work with a steak knife instead of a scalpel. I do flyers for RAD programs pro bono for colleges and will have to redo them entirely eventually. I hope I can adapt to this program quickly it's the last piece of my professional life I have left after getting sick and I don't want to let them down

Re: Rant Thread
First off, the regular douchebags on the Blizzard customer service forum are out in full force.
Add to this that some of Blizzard's customer service reps who reply on that forum are being as douchebaggy as the worst players.
"Here's a reward for having an authenticator to help make your account more secure.
Oh, last second change: you also have to add SMS which reduces the security of that authenticator, and also requires you to have a cell phone.
Now stop complaining."
Yup, that exactly how a corporation keeps its customers happy.

Re: Rant Thread
The new "levelling experience" is ok... with one exception: the last boss of every quest chain requires a group, and they are stupid difficult (the bosses, not the groups).
I'd say I'm pretty good with my rogue, and my friend is REALLY catching on quickly with his warrior (I'm almost in awe).
But there's a difficulty issue that is seriously unbalanced.
Also, we got through the first 20 levels at lightning speed, but somehow, after level 20 it's suddenly slowed to a snail's pace. So there's something not quite right about the required exp. from level to level after 20.
(and I'm still pissed-off that they made the extra bags slots "cell phone only")

People wanted to be able to quest through an entire zone without the quests going green or grey; not for it to be difficult or for progress to be at a snail's pace.

Re: Rant Thread
Yesterday, my new levelling partner and I did the opening Draenor series of quests.
Now, BOTH of our toons were more than adequately geared (everything we got as gear rewards on the way was lower level than what we already had).
We both died multiple times during the "kill 100 orcs" arena.
When we got to the big cannon near the end (shortly before the escape to Frostridge via boat), we had to take on the giant ogron before boarding the cannon.
Well! a warrior and a rogue, both well-geared, level 90, and we died 5 times!!!
The damned thing almost instantly respawns. So we were trying to get up the chain to the cannon after our 3rd death and finally killing the ogron, when my friend slipped off the chain. I went down to help him back up... and yes, the ogron had respawned and killed us again, and we had to fight him.. again. and die... again.
Ok, we finally got through this BS, onto the boat, start our garrisons, everything is peachy keen... and then, we have to go into the cave to kill the big ogre thing. This is a quest I've done at least 10 times on other toons, and always soloed it no problem. The mob now has more than ten times my HP, and kept interrupting all of my abilities, and my warrior friend simply couldn't get a hit in edgewise either.
As you can guess, the state of our lives very quickly deteriorated - death.
NEVER before have I died to that quest.
As a matter of fact, I've had toons go through ALL of Draenor without ever dying once.
Basically, Blizzard just made old content incredibly difficult to get through.
And not much fun, either.
Colour me "not amused".

Re: Rant Thread
The mobs I'm mentioning, where there are difficulty issues, are mobs that one normally would solo, but that suddenly require a group to do (with no warning that you need a group, to boot).
The big worm in the cave in northern Frostfire Ridge (not sure how it's spelled, it's a Dune reference: Shai hulud?) is simply a quest: go kill the sleeper. Yet it doesn't say anything about it being a group quest or that this mob has an impossible level of health compared to you.
It's in a large room surrounded by around 10 mobs, half of which you can pull safely to get them out of the way, but the other half cannot be pulled one at a time. pull one and all the others follow, including Shai hulud.
The balancing is completely off kilter. It's as if Blizzard never bothered checking on which mobs exactly would be affected by level changes. The ONLY reason we were finally able to kill the big worm was because a passing level 103 (I think) jumped in and helped, and even then, it was close.
