  • The real solution is to have the game teach them how to play. Good games teach you how to play while you're playing them. Go watch on Penny Arcade TV the Extra Credits episode #8 on Tutorials. This has been a failing of MMO's since the beginning. They spend all their time creating massive worlds with complex character classes but never stop to teach the player what a rotation or priority list is. It's not hard to teach these things - it's just the game doesn't try at all.

  • any time i try to help "bads" in pugs/dungeons they find it insulting and the usual response is "stfu dont teach me how to play my own class"

  • @clanOT Its because they don't know what constructive criticism is (little kids)

  • I have an idea. How about someone (like maybe ZAM??) create a series of class based video guides.These wouldnt be guides to being super competitive top-raiding guild candidates. but rather basic guides to speccing, gearing, gemming, and rotation that will get players up to that "competent" level quickly.

    From that point they can pull their weight, and can get advice from guildies and places like EJ to take them that last 5% of the way to Pro.

  • @gtrscarlet There is a place for that called Elitist Jerks...

  • @bazwollv People who dont know what they are doing, dont go to ElitistJerks. Even if they did, they probably would probably get banned for asking noob questions, and probably wouldnt understand what they found there, because its written for people who are already highly knowledgeable about class mechanics.

  • pardon my ignorance, but what's this John Madden spec?

  • @SeddyEffingJenkins google John Madden feral druid its the first link.

  • don't bads usually sit in stormwind? :P (JK ally myslef :P)

  • If Blizzard does something like this they have to put the tutorial system in place for it. It's just a crap shoot on whether "bads" will take it. If they did add the necessary tutorials/info for spec like this they should add them for things like keybinds/mouse turning as well because that's really were bads come from. I mean you can only water down the game so much, half the reason people log in is to figure things out and figure them out better than someone else.

  • Skyrim!!

  • @ZAMOfficial Epic Intro, Lore.

  • EZ mode for n00bies

  • Maybe I just read that blue post wrong, but I took blizz as saying this.

    We are human. When we are running out of fire, clicking on lightwells, or just doing fight mechanics sometimes our rotations go to shit. When this happens you don't build holy power as quickly as you would have standing still beating on a boss and then have wasted the up time of inquisition making it not a good use of holy power for that 30 sec. of dps.

    Its not baddies it fight mechanics and situational.

  • I would love to be better at WoW, but let me ask you HOW DO I DO THAT WHEN I SKYRIM ALL THE TIME?...

  • ...training glyphs? /facepalm

  • Dear God, don't get me started on the Chimaera Shot glyph. -.O

  • skyrim <3

  • its hard for some new ret palys to see when the inq buff ends cuz theyr focus on other stuff, thats why there are addons like power auras to put a nice icon on the mid of your screen telling you how much time is left till the buff ends. Thats a tip for the new ret palys out there.

  • bad, if u dont take the time to learn ur class.... dont play and u dont deserve to down Heroics

  • I don't bother helping people out with specs and rotations in random dungeons cause people usually just get angry and upset cause "you're telling them how to play the game"... so yeah.

  • What would work is if they used it but put an astrik saying "Easy Mode, take if you suck" lol outside of that, no it is just usless

  • @ZAMOOfficial Joshua aka Lore -- PLEASE GET A HAIRCUT!

  • Pause at 13:20, Trollface.jpg

    

  • "bad" players, should use the time to know how to play or forever be "bad"

  • "the arcane mage who spend all his time spamming one button, frost bolt"

  • @joehighlord im awsome

  • burn the bad players

  • Your Foose Roh Dah was too quick which is why it had no power. Knowing all 3 words you should have been able to embed that camera into the dry wall.

  • "Mark of the Bad" lolz, that should be a debuff in your UI

  • i dont think theres any point playing this game if ur not going to play it to get a serious goal, for eg high pvp rating or high end heroic content, anything low end is just wipefest and no fun, not to mention the game has so much data to learn that if u dont play serious hours u cant learn to play properly...hence baddies remain bad

  • If Blizzard helps baddies, they'll stay baddies. In short, they shouldn't help them at all.

  • Haha, feral isn't looking so "hot" in Firelands. And there's a staff that makes you a fire kitty.

  • Why would anyone voluntarily choose to wear a dunces cap? I look forward to this change, its one more indicator for me to rightly kick a fail dps before the first pack pull/start my deserter debuff timer rolling. theres nothing worse then a 45 minute dps queue, then 20 minutes wiping on trash in the failboat, to then have to join the back of the queue with a repair bill to boot.

    I wouldnt let a fr use this glyph: fastest possible way to get kicked from a Barradin hold pug.

  • If I am ever doing a random dungeon and I see someone doing something wrong that I actually know how to correct I always ask if I can make a suggestion to them and then tell them what they did wrong and suggest how to fix it. 7/10 times people will just get angry and say things such as "I know how to play my class" and tell me I'm wrong. Those other 3 though really appreciate the help and they actually make improvements because of it. It really is a hit and miss when you try and help people.

  • @NicktrickAcid Same here, I try to help people if they're doing things wrong or if their talents are messed up or their rotation messed up. Sometimes people get mad, sometimes they don't even respond but those that do accept advise are usually very grateful. Nice to see others with same attitude of helping others get better.

  • Lore: "arcane mages spamming one button..."

    Me: "yes we spam one button"

    Lore: "frostbolt"

    Me:"what is wrong with frostbolt?"

  • Well I understand what you're getting at but if blizzard intended on making the game so that everyone should understand, there would be an age limit on it by now.

  • @12markinlove12 There is. It's technically rated a Teen Game by Blizzard while ESRB in America won't touch it because it's online.

    People get around it.

  • I didn't know this, thank you :)

  • 20K DPS? That's pretty good for normal Lore :P

  • Unsubscribe. Wow is bleeding out and dying.

  • @xStarkiller91 Video games do not have a circulatory system. Brought to you by the world's smartest man. Maybe even the universe.

  • wow lore you got NO CLAIM to tell hunters what to do when you use 3 steady shots in a row on your hunter even though you know you should not do more then 2

    Atleast for my hunter it is always under 200 dps increase to use the glyhp in theory at 5 8 and 15min fights though i dident tinker with the kill shot range in %

  • @Beholder505 where can i buy that smartest man?

  • Comment removed

  • FUS ROH DAH!!!

  • I went Holy with my Paladin and only play Ret when I have to. Cata ruined the Retribution Paladin as far as I am concerned, so I suppose that I would take the glyph for the few times I do play in Retribution spec.

  • Hahaha.. "and the arcane mage" ....... god here we go again...

    FROSTBOLT

    laughed my ass off:D

  • You can come across a bad holy paladin healer in a dungeon as he can not dispell magic. Why dosent he? Well he raid 25 man and then he can spend that point on something else as they have 5-6 healers all together. Raids and dungeons are not the same thing. He is not a bad player, just speciallised for raids, not for dungeons.

  • hey talking about palis i also play 1 and i am holy with retry off spect, so i dont raid as retry an I dont need to be that good as retry so i might use the glift brcause in the few time i use my retry spect I always forget to refresh inquisition, thats why i think it will be a goo glif

  • the thing with inquisition is that... plain and simple, the mechanic sucks. i hate to look constantly at my buffs to see if i need another application. as a rogue is easier, for example i'm combat and i'm able to make 2 5points ultimates after a 1 point slice and dice. and i never, ever, have to look at my buffs.

    Playing a ret pally nowdays is like playing fucking wack-a-mole anyway so i moved to prot(faceroll)/holy >=(

  • @TheLoki113 have you seen the vid ?

  • They should make queueing for battlegrounds just a tiny bit more complicated so the baddies can't manage to get in one........ *NERDRAGE*

  • And to the point, no blizz shouldn't cater to the baddies with glyphs like this. It sets a bad precedent, like arcane mages lulz.

  • The problem with glyphs like these is nobody actually thinks they are bad.

    Taking the glyph automatically makes you look like a bad, even if you would see a DPS increase from taking it over another choice. Players that don't do research will take the glyph because their anecdotal evidence tells them it's the best.

    Bad idea IMO.

  • Why'd you go Tauren Lore?!

  • okay im mage in wow and i want to play fire but no one gives my mages fire spec a chance cus arcane is so much beter but ofc its a beter BUT I DONT WANT TO USE 4 buttoms for whole fight thats why i wanan play fire its not like im new to the spec i know how play it i can pull 20k dps with but in arcane i can pull 30k why does it matter so much what spec i play i can do over 20k dps im not a hc raider just 6/7 normal mode cus my guild kicked me cus i went fire :(

  • Lore your mind is too large for your own good

  • fos ro DAH!

  • @KormaiAthvanna Exactly, like an extended tutorial mode?

  • Perhaps they will make something that tells them their bad, you couldn't keep your buff up! consider using this glyph it will make you less bad!

  • What you're talking about is cookie cutter glyph choices and rotations. This will not change until Blizzard gets rid of ALL cookie cutter choices. Once MoP comes out, whatever Blizzard does, there will be some asshat out there saying, "You have have X, Y, and Z." And that's how players are killing WoW. Blizzard had a hand in it, but the players have the upper hand.

  • FUS RO DAH!

  • 2 words: alt spec

  • I would choose using the Inquisition glyph because maintaining the buff is sometimes more boring that using Templars Verdict to dish out big numbers. Changing my rotation to be more fun is a valuable option to me, moreso than maybe doing 1% more dps.

  • The problem with "bads" is that they hang around with too many "bads". Random heroics dont exactly help them either and they can't get into any guilds.

    If you spend your time with good players who assist you, you tend to become better.

  • @ 6:05 something similar happened to me...as an arms warrior if you want to get the best possible DPS you have to use stance dancing...and at first i couldn't do it right, so my dps was lower...but in the end i managed to get it right and in the end my DPS went up.

  • Obvious Skyrim shout reference is obvious :)

  • Lore says 30k dps is mediocre so all the dps in my guild sucks.

  • 13 minutes later, you said the same thing as 3 minutes into the video. Drone...

  • What makes it bad is that perfectionist number crunchers raise the bar for other players. Like people who are not 20 yo or people who dont spend hours per day reading theory threads and stuff, so they are considered bad. Or maybe they just have their own playing style

  • If they're gonna go that route, they might as well add something to the tooltip so there's no mistaking it being an "easy mode" glyph

  • Lore is Dragon Born!

  • i think your Weird al's love child with that majestic haha

  • I am highly sick of WOW bringing in "easy" mod, I play a ret pally and INX is easy to keep up.. LEARN THE FUCKING GAME NUBS... <3

  • When I play ret, I don't even really bother with Inquisition because I just can't keep it rolling - there's too many procs for me, personally, to keep track off. I can handle snd pretty well, but there's a lot less procs on my rogue - snd is just another "beat" in the rogue song. The ret glyph would be amazing for me, because it makes up for a short coming I have, so it feels like a smart choice there for me. Is it the best? no, and I shouldn't do best damage either, but it's better than now.

  • Not all paladins are rets, i think this will be great for prot paladins right now we have 12 sec Inqusistion for 3 holy powers, and its relly hard to keep it up if you want to use Shield of the righthoes aswell.

  • This is very insightful, and actually very true. Great weekly marmot lore!

  • Lore.... truthfully.... this type of thing really is just adding extra crap to the game thats unneeded. Why put something into the game someone would have to say "I am bad so ill chose THIS and Blizzard said i should"

    Cmon... BADS only get GOOD by talking to other players, reading websites, watching videos, practinging.

    Talk to other good players..theyll find someone who will take the time to explain.

    Its never GOOD to be BAD...

  • @gamewizard2020  Apparently you didn't actually watch the video.

  • Agree with everything said, except that everyone has the potrntial to be paragon like. Everyone has different brains, and some brain types just happen to be more suites to wow raiding.

  • Lore, you are playing too far good player vs bad player debate, and is it better to use a bandage to help mend the incorrect way, or is it better to dig in and actually correct oneself and do it correctly.

    Think of it like this, one night I'm progressing on Heroic Rag - Don't take that glyph.

    The farm night before that when I'm drunk out of my mind - Take the Glyph

  • My comment about the glyph is this:

    It's not that I don't know what I'm doing, but putting that glyph on lets me slack more. I can still do my DPS (maybe better), but I have to work less to get the DPS required.

  • wtf lore , why did you ask your subs thier feedback this is obivuously targeting the bad players and no bad players are subbed to you, imo this is a great idea as a father to a son that plays WoW and isnt very good at the game, i would like for him to have a easy way to play better

  • SKYRIM!!! nice LORE!

  • Easy mode glyphs probably mean instant kick imo lol

  • no mention about the amazing INTRO ??

  • Bads need to be bad in order to get good. Or else they will continue to be bads. This message brought to you buy the smartest man in the world. Maybe even in the universe.

  • @Beholder505 by the smartest... That's right, you're taking 100 lines for that one, Einstein..

  • @SeireiNoRyu My wisdom is far beyond your understanding young padawan.

  • @Beholder505 Hellz yeah, keep the thumbs up coming on my genius post.

  • @Beholder505 ....my brain hurt

  • How to Inquisition 2.0: Use CLCRet.

  • Why thats...thats a Thu'um you really are dragon born!

  • My big thing is... Blizz needs to put out te obvious things... Like DON'T DO PVE IN PVP GEAR! I've done several heroics with people in PVP gear just not doing good... And I PuGd Cho'gall cuz someone in TC was adverting they needed a healer for Cho, and this disc priest in full PvP gear saying it's better than me FL/T11 gear is better... Then watching them go OOM before 2nd phase.. Shield spamming made me laugh...

  • Jon Madin spec..?

  • I think the point of the glyph is to be swapped in for fights with lots of add switching and moving, giving you the option of not letting the buff drop for fights that youre not smashing a target dummy. I'm pretty sure you missed the point interly, nothing can make baddies not bad

  • @Chadwastaken yeah if people would stop in dungeons and explian to them there rotation thats how i was fixed in early WoTLK and thats what I do with badies today even in my guild our guilds raid tank went from being Fail Blood Dk to superuber BloodDK from his gear cause i explained to him what i knew about if from my Bro and what i learned online

  • They should chane ret paladins a bit, give CS no cooldown, and after a TV, inquisition should be refreshed, tha means more tvs and less worrying about inquisition, sort of like assassination rogues

  • @monstahmu lol? if cs had no cd ret's would be completely overpowered, you know there are ret pvpers here

  • anyone feeling kind enough to explain the intro to me?

  • @karthadastim It's a shout in TES: Skyrim, it sends everyone flying :D

  • @karthadastim It's the kind of force push shout from skyrim.

  • @bass679 ah k, thank you. I have that game and have been enjoying it but didn't make the connection :P

  • Baddies will be bad, gear is so easy to get that this will just serve as a small help to weed out the baddies in good gear. I've seen so many bad people with T2 pvp weaps n stuff, it's hard to tell who is legit until it's too late and they cost you rateing or a wipe etc.

  • Kids who cant really play and baddies who just dont understand Ruin Games... Nuff said...

  • So.. they strats on paladin, why? coz there's a lot of bad players playing paladins. Funny that since wata launched, i saw a lot's of pals and owl disapeard. they did have a big dps in Wokl. but now you have to know how to play them.

  • Blizzard needs to let bads be bads. That would be amazing.

  • @Beholder505 So you're saying anyone not perfect should flounder? Cut you wrists buddy; we don't want you breathing our air.

  • @hyperboy94 Speak for yourself.

  • @Beholder505 Why speak for myself, when I can speak for the public?

  • @hyperboy94 The public has denied your representation.

  • @Beholder505 Clearly it hasn't as you're the only one being accused and not supported.

  • Best intro ever

  • I think one thing that has been missed here is that this glyph isn't just for the baddies, but for middle-skill people too. The problem is that middle-skill people can have decent knowledge, but lack awareness, reaction speed, etc. These players might let a buff drop off for a couple of seconds before reapplying and might still benefit from the glyph. They would never use it because they would see it as a DPS loss. "I already use this all the time, why would I reduce the effectiveness."

  • I've also seen an arcane mage spam one button... it was Ice Lance

  • There needs to be middle ground and stepping stones for people to use because there are levels of grey in the player-base, not everything is black and white... in player skill, willingness and ability to do research, and gear level.

  • Yes, please dumb it down even more.

  • Technically Kill shot is glyph is good for progression on fights where the execute portion of the fight is the issues (like Rag). Or on fights where the execute phase is longer than other parts of the fight for some reason (like a reverse Ryo for example)

  • I'm just worried if they were to go that "easy" route with the Inquisition glyph that it would lead to even more easy mode options for "bad" players to the point they don't even want to learn how to be the best they can be.

  • Lore I actually happen to be one of the "not very good" players and I sometimes get advice from the "elite" fury warriors on my realm and I do what they tell me to the best of my ability. Although I'm not at the top of the dps meters, everyone calls me a "baddie" and I admit I'm not as good as I want to be at my class. Even though everyone says that I am "bad" I'd say I'm doing average. So do the players in the middle need improving or are they fine the way they are playing the game?

  • Maybe they should just give Inquisition like a 50% chance to proc off a Templar's Verdict. Honestly I don't think it needs to be an overly complicated or tedious skill to use. I generally avoid raiding with my holy pally's ret off-spec just because I find the spec to be tedious.

  • @MarchHare2009 That wouldn't really be a good idea considering how RNG retadins are already.

  • Sounds to me like something that would be used by someone who know he needs too keep that ability up, but is frustrated that he keeps failing at it. He says screw it, and glyph to make it easier to keep up. Without much thought of exactly how his dps will change.. sounds like an ok idea I guess.

  • for some of what you said ill use my GF as an example, she plays a mage and refuses to look up stuff of web sights because she doesn't care about being the best player she plays for fun.I feel that glyphs like this would be perfect for someone like her, it would help her feel like she is doing good and she would probably enjoy her playing time better but she wouldn't be part of the pull the best numbers possible crowd just because she does not worry about that.

  • I think this may be usefull for Pvp.. That is all considering the ramp time for rets. But with the "nerf" to Ret wings hammer rawr spam yeah You may be spending your time doing other spells aside from hammer off cd.. But then again it still may be worth doing even after the nerf

  • If you think putting earthshield on the rogue is a bad move, you've clearly never played with my guild. Boy, I wish I was joking.

  • the rouge in in mage!

  • Comment removed

  • The arcane mage who is spamming one button... Frostbolt LMAO!

  • @Doblid lol arcane mage spaming frostbolt? bad troll?

  • @Doblid Hey... you stole my comment!

  • @asddsa76 i dident stole it. I editet it and reposted :P

  • I think most baddies don't even run recount or skada. That being said, the only way people know that they are bad is if other players let them know that they are bad. I found that letting someone know that their dps is bad is better than just group kicking them. Even more, if you help them learn how to do better dps by quickly outlining their rotation to them, most players are very appreciative. However, in a dungeon environment it's good to help, in a raid I usually just kick

  • 7:45-7:52 How many MM hunters are double checking their armory again for kill shot glyph? :P

  • I don't think blizz need this. I started playing WOW when cata came out and now am in a guild which is 6/7HM and I am MT. With a bit of work and patience, anyone can get good. Blizz don't make the game so hard that only the people playing since vanilla can play. Obviousl there will be crap people, there are in every game, but the vast majority will be fine without it.

  • I miss the good old days of playing my arcane mage in BC. Where you actually used frostbolt in your rotation. And believe it or not, spirit was a decent stat to stack. (!)

  • If you cant keep inqistion up get clcret lol

  • so...paladins (easiest class in the game) are complaining about it being hard to play.. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHxDhHAHAHAHAHAHAH­HAAHXXXHDDDDDDDDDDHAHAHAHHA!!!­!!!!

  • @thesickandwounded ...Lol. What class do YOU play that's so hard? When was the last time you played a pally, or are you just an ignorant douchebag?

  • @MrSchismic well i have a pally, think the rotation is faceroll as shit, dont rly do much pve, pallys are the most faceroll shit ever in pvp.. hardest shit IMO is Enha shaman, never figured it out, i do the rotation like im supose to, i even copied a guildie and we have basicly the same gear and he did 20k and i did 17k.. ehh i duuno, but pallas are faceroll no doubt they are faceroll.

  • @thesickandwounded You should play different classes if you think pally is easy. I can't play ret. Every class is faceroll once you begin to understand how it works and your brain adapts to your binds. Paladins are a pretty complex class. I can play prot fine because that's what I'm used to, but ret is another thing entirely.

    Warriors and mages I can for sure say are easier to learn.

  • @MrSchismic dude, i've played since early TBC i have almost every class 85 except Mage,rogue and hunter, but that's just cuz i personaly dont like them, every other class i have 85 or close too 85, and now that i've played every class in the game, i know what i like, i've got good arena rating and i've got nothing to do, the game is starting to get boring for me, so im thinking of freezing my acc untill MoP.. any way my point was, i've played different classes ;)

  • @thesickandwounded I hope you're still not stuck in the Wrath mindset of Paladins being faceroll easy, Paladins really aren't that easy to play.

  • @thesickandwounded says arcane mage

  • @idpsutank1 Im an arcane mage ? i dont even have an arcane mage, i dont even have mage.

  • laughed so fucking hard at 0:31

  • holy shit lore! you are describing half my raid team!

  • Dragon shout intro ftw

  • 7:50 thank your for costing me 11g :(

  • <-- mm hunter that is now confused about kill shot glyph

  • Yet another intriguing Marmot.

  • Veteran players don't care about the community, and hence WoW is like it is. New players come in and are left out to dry with labels like baddies or lazy. Since the community won't help then Blizzard tries to because it helps subs.

  • that mage was doing it right...they obviously just need to buff mages.

  • I like it! A lot of my friends were turned off from WoW because it was "hard" and there's no way they could raid with me b/c I'm in a 6/7H guild, but it would be awesome to do some Raid Finder groups with them and them not completely suck the big one.

  • I think Blizzard should implement it the other way around. Have the inquisition glyph being baseline (I havn't seen the numbers, so let's say it's now 20% extra damage, but lasts twice as long), and have a glyph to reverse it back to normal. That way the "bad" players will have the easy way out by default and they will have to actively chose the "hard way", instead of it being the other way around.

  • Does Blizzard watch these? If they don't they really should.

  • um..i was suprised because im a mm hunter...raiding w/ the killshot glyph..i still do the most dps out of everyone in my raid, i didnt find anything that said it was bad

  • 5:05  HAHAHAH

  • I find it funny how blizz is always making changes to the game to cater to people who are bad. Playing a class competently in a pve situation honestly isn't that tough (don't keyboard turn and click abilities and read elitist jerks). Making justifications/changing mechanics for people who are lazy/don't want to improve themselves and cry about it is honestly retarded.

  • As you say, WoW takes no skill. Its just having basic knowledge. Badies will be badies. Ultimately some people just shouldnt be playing MMOs

    But MMO endgame meta always been fucked. The idea and design of performance = spec is pretty flawed. Because that always pins you in a certain cookie cutter for your class. Which ultimately gives you just as much customization as if the game had no talent system at all. Which means they are better off removing talents/glyphs and basing it on player ability

  • lol copying peoples spec...I remember doing that...now I know how to internets! *proudface*

  • @SanguineBullet667 Sounds a lot like faceroll

  • Kill shot glyph is best for Heroic rag...so STFU lore
