Thoughts about the LL?

I need to get a actual cap for that before I can make a judgement.
It has been seen there were 8 words that covered 2 lines of the chat bubble, so I can assume it's a letter cap of about 40 in total ... ?

For the average MMO talk, sufficient. For RP, lacking.

I've used chat bubbles for long enough to confidently say that, at least in my own experience, two lines will result in messages being cut off more often than not, and doubly so for RP as you said. To me that defeats the whole point of the feature, which is to be able to ignore the chat window entirely and just look at who you're speaking with.

DD actually looks somewhat decent - enemies are no damage sponges from Yoshi-P's demo, and the changes to allow us to climb with the harder floors with randoms are well welcomed. I appreciate them trying to innovate, especially with Quantum, even if that specific thing may not be for me.
Too bad the general game of DD is still a carbon copy, with pomanders and all. We shall see how it is once it is live in a couple of months.

New PVP map looks interesting. Could be fun to play.

Chat bubbles seem to be way too limited to be useful. capping longer texts, and also not allowing them in battle because you fear the community may bully others into using it? Are you that afraid of letting the GMs handle a couple of reports if some players get nasty?


The demos are definitely too long and too drawn out. We do not need an in depth explanation of every single thing, like the length with which Chat Bubbles were shown.

Being able to duo queue in 5v5 is based

Wouldn't a chat bubble disappear before you get chance to read a long-winded speech anyway? That's the reason I would find it pointless.

I think it will be useful for raid callouts.

The result of nothing to do. Don't blame the player.

Are you legitimately saying you have no control over your life choices?

They said the furnishing limit would be increasing by 7.3, but apparently that's not happening? They didn't even mention it besides an offhand comment saying "not yet" in response to someone in chat.

If that's not happening, then there's nothing in this patch that interests me. The Deep Dungeon is coming 2 months later in 7.35, and despite them saying it's different, it looks to be yet another copy/paste of Palace of the Dead.

They are deliberately being disabled during battle though.

As much as I wanted a different power system for the Deep Dungeon, I'm very pleased to see they tackled it positively everywhere else. Especially the adjustable boss stats, it reminds me of WoW's Horrific Visions where you could amp up the difficulty with certain items.

As it is, this DD is hyping me way more than the Occult Crescent, so for that alone I'll consider keeping my "tentative return" sub month going on, which would expire next week.

Just a shame that we have to wait until somewhere in early October for 7.3.5.

The only interesting thing about the DD is the variable-difficulty boss battle that's queueable. On the other hand, due to their statements that at max level it's "ultimate difficulty content" that means we're getting yet another piece of hardcore content that's only for a small percentage of the playerbase.

Oh, that is unfortunate then. Pointless to me then.
