Pretty sure the suicide was Activision and not Blizzard. That was really the only 'shocking' thing in the claim. The rest was just a bunch of dorks saying inappropriate things and salary/promotion claims.

interestingly i listened to an interview of zepla. and she said that she plays the MSQ, privately, but then records it and releases it later. because she said she was self conscious of crying on camera. i wonder if bellular could just do that, minus the tears. or with the tears, i won't judge. sato is a good boy.

And somehow everyone aimed at Blizzard, as Furor was the only one specifically named in the whole lawsuit. Because Blizzard was seen as the juicier target.
Also, calling it "frat boy culture" in the lawsuit seemed to be an attempt at rebranding this "toxic masculinity" thing, because the latter term is pretty worn out from overuse. Meanwhile, the developers at Blizzard were nerds that listened to metal, so they were pretty far from what I'd call typical "frat boys".
Management, especially the bean counter types, are going to cling to this "diversity" thing like a lifebuoy after the Blizztanic hit the iceberg: they know they'd be the next on the chopping block, especially for letting the company deteriorate this much. And for a real change in direction and company culture they'd have to change things at a middle to top management level.
tl;dr: "Outlook not so good"

At this point Blizzard is even fucking up their QoL fixes. Clearly the devs are just passive-aggressive now about implementing them:

Why would you tie the conduit drops to your current specialization and not the set loot specialization, like ... in the rest of the fucking game?

Hello everyone. Here are a few answers to some of your questions on the upcoming change: It will now always pick conduits that fit your spec including generic covenant ones. So if you have all your conduits at 239 now and start using it after the change goes live tomorrow, it will only find

Because they're not talking about conduit drops. They're talking about items you take back to your Forge of Bonds to upgrade a random conduit.At this point Blizzard is even fucking up their QoL fixes. Clearly the devs are just passive-aggressive now about implementing them:

Please explain how this is different when you are trying to make a second or third spec viable before doing content.

You take the item back to your Forge of Bonds, activate the spec you want to upgrade conduits from, and use the item.
The item is only usable within the Forge of Bonds interface, so they want you to have the right spec selected before you use the item.

Then I will take back my criticism. Thank you for playing the game for us, so we don't have to.

Thanks for reinforcing my point that most of the people complaining about WoW don't even play WoW and are just bandwagon hating a game they haven't played in months or years.
The psychology of MMO players is ridiculous. You can't just be bored of a game and move onto something else; you have to linger around and try to convince everyone else that you made the only correct decision by leaving.
