Nifty, you're just talking to yourself. That isn't really the purpose of these forums. As such, I'm locking this thread and any future threads where you're just talking to yourself. If you want a place to write more long-form, maybe we need to add the ability to blog on here.
A certain “content creator” was posting decks at the start of Festival of Legends with deck titles including stuff like “This deck is so broken” and I noticed they were literally posting the premade deck recipes.
That I'm not a fan of though. We don't really have any policies that are against that though.
Quite simply, it's allowed. I encourage content creators to post their decks here because it is a great resource for the community and it helps them build their channels which is only a positive thing for the game. Even better, some people link to their decks in their video descriptions which helps the site too - it's a mutual relationship =)
Seems about time that we have a thread to talk about the random games we've all been playing!
I'll get things started off for June 2023.
I've been dabbling in Path of Exile, aiming to get some more seasonal challenges done while we wait for Exilecon to announce the new season (and more PoE 2 info). I also recently was playing Diablo 4, though didn't really enjoy the experience (it will be better in a couple years certainly).
I've also had an opportunity to check out the new F1 23 game which feels like a solid improvement over F1 22. The new lighting looks fantastic and all the cars look better too. Small UI updates and overall better menu flow makes navigating with a steering wheel better. Regretfully I didn't get to write up a review for the game yet.
I'm hoping to get a chance to login to World of Warcraft Classic over the next couple of weeks since Midsummer Fire Festival is taking place and those achievements will be needed for that sweet Violet Proto-Drake =D
Also that Final Fantasy demo is calling my name. This weekend was absolute chaos though so I didn't get a chance to touch it.
YouTube is something that I do want to branch out into for the reason you've already gone into, it's just a time thing. I didn't really have the time to play Diablo 4 as it is, but you bet I made sure to fit it in because I wanted to give it a fair chance.
I 100% agree with the inventory. It feels so wrong to have everything the same size.
I played Path of Exile during its Alpha. I played it during Beta. I played it multiple times over the years during different seasons. Sure, the game wasn't great when it came out, but it did exactly what they wanted to - they wanted to make a better Diablo 2.
It's a bit of a difference though with GGG releasing their first title and Blizzard, who is supposed to be an industry titan. Blizzard has had several releases in the Diablo series and what we received was a half-assed attempt at a grand ARPG. Things they learned from Diablo 3, completely forgotten by the team 4's development started.
But, it's a modern game and they're expecting us to wait it out as they slow drip the essential content so they can keep our attention glued to a shop.
Now, your video of Asmongold. He's in a level 68 area. That can't even be considered end game.
I definitely think they will get there. Blizzard has turned most of their recent games around at some point in the patch process so Diablo IV isn't likely to be the exception. Given a few seasons, the game is 100% going to get another shot (and possibly the very first season too). Definitely waiting for that "Loot 2.0" unicorn though.
Feeling things out with some different types of content. Not everything may be everyone's cup of tea, and without access to games it can be difficult to see what is worth pushing into the spotlight, but that should be something that resolves with time as things ramp up here =)
All content from Out of Cards is still here and will still continue to be here. All we did was effectively rename the site. If something was available on Out of Cards, it will still be available on Out of Games.
Card database update is slowly being worked on. Ultimately, it's a very tiny issue compared to everything else that is going on.
I wish I could say the same. I'm a sucker for cosmetics and so limited-time mount trophy, sign me up.
It didn't take too long to get to level 20. I might not play Sorc this time around though because of the chain lightning nerfs so that'll decrease the speed I expected.
Hearthstone card data no longer tries to reload on non-deckbuilder and non-collection pages.
Dev Note: A previous site update caused card data to be stored local to users to improve the speed of certain tasks on the site. This was a net-positive for many users with a few exceptions: slowdowns on some devices and connections throughout the day as fresh data was pushed onto clients and folks using locked-down firefox installs would have issues loading the card data at all. The result of this is that the deckbuilder takes additional time to load than it has in recent times but it should work for all users in all scenarios.
Fixed an issue where the Festival of Legends icon was failing to load for some users.

Removed Snow 3 from the navigation.
Dev Note: The event has only been over for 3 months.
That is my assumption with the current info from Twitch. Which is good because the one stream was definitely not enough time for both packs for everyone lol.
Hah, Nintendo is so far up their own ass you'd be frozen for an eternity!
We've been bamboozled by Blizzard

Issue with the old logo appearing on mobile-only devices. Will be fixed on next update!

Login issues should be resolved. Sorry about that!

Zelda on the backburner though feels awful.
You've had quite a few negative comments here over the past few weeks since you've made your account. Enjoy the vacation.

It seems like they didn't communicate this very well.
The packs from this drop also include the theorycrafting streams. It was too good to be true, getting 5 packs.
