I like newer WoW compared to WoW classic. I guess I'm the ultra casual market that is ruining it for everyone?

Yeah, Chaos Unlimited does a great job organizing all the cats and pointing them in the right direction. Great job guys!

If anyone really thinks the RNG is skewed, you have all the data you need to demonstrate it. The combat tab shows what you rolled for every attack. Log scrape a sufficient number of data points (a thousand? you'd have to figure out how many is a good number for a random 1-100 range) and run a Chi-Square goodness of fit test. It will give a rating on how close the observed distribution is vs the theoretical distribution (an even chance of every number coming up). If it comes up really wonky, then you would have something to point at. (link to Chi-Square test description http://www.stat.yale.edu/Courses/1997-98/101/chigf.htm )

This old canard. People have been twitch about game RNG since Ultima Online. First, real randomness is streaky. Streakiness is expected. Is the RNG on a computer truly random? No. Does that actually matter for the purposes of running a computer game? No. Would that matter if you were making a scientific simulation where the statistical outcome is going to be used to predict things about the world? Probably. Even if the RNG is on the game is bad, it's not going to be bad enough for an individual end user to be able to really notice. Certainly a string of 10 misses is /WAY/ to low of a sample size to indicate anything. Even if it were heavily biased there are hundreds of players pulling thousands of rolls from the same seed, more or less at random intervals, which churns the distribution you experience a lot. Also, it's pretty highly likely that you are pulling from several different RNGs, at least one per server. It's like people freaking out about how fair their d20 are. Ok, maybe 7 comes up 4% or the time instead of 5% over a VERY LARGE number of rolls. But you are only going to roll less than five thousand meaningful rolls in your gaming career, probably not all with that die. The probability skew from normal variance over that small a sample set is tiny. Certainly not enough to be noticeable. Go ahead, but the bad one in the dice jail...

Take the the Hellions bowling, take them bowling

Yes! Filled the food bowl and it left us in peace.

Mercy is for the weak!

That looks suspiciously close to being my house. Battlemat for a tablecloth: check Giant window streaming blinding sunlight: check Covered in dice: check Black cat being simultaneously adorable and completely in the way: check (missing: the tabby) Coke cans in the background: AHA! Not my house! They would be Diet Dr. Pepper cans instead

I love the Void Sled and the Flying carpet temp powers, but hate the power toggles for my toggle intensive characters. If it is reasonable, consider making them standard FX sets for the flight power pool. It would be great for my characters that don't have inherent flight.

Something to bear in mind; while everyone has pet peeves, if you want an RP community to survive, you have to be tolerant of terrible RP. You have to be a place where people can risk RP and not get burned if it falls apart. Role-playing is silly and a lot of people are terrified of looking foolish. RP thrives where there is no fear.

Everything ends. Enjoy it while you can and let tomorrow take care of itself.

I have a Razer Naga Epic. My fantasy is a Razer Naga Epic, or any equivalent MMO mouse (with the 12 button array on the thumb) that has either a bog standard USB connector so I can use my own cables, or comes with a cable that is not cloth wrapped. See, I have cats. For reasons unknown to man, they /HATE/ fuzzy cords. Like you'd think that the cords killed their boy, or owed them money or something. No fuzzy cord survives 24 hours in the house with out being chewed to pieces. Usually, literally within 10 minutes of me unboxing one of the things, Sobek the troublemaker, will literally be fighting me to bite the damn thing. But Hob, you say, there are solutions for that! You can use this bitter apple spray and they won't bite it! Except my cats are stubborn. I have literally soaked the cable in the stuff. They bite it, make a yuck face about how bad it tastes and he go back to biting it... They are lucky they are cute.
