While I like a some of the changes, I think allowing all raids at the beginning undermines the difficulty in raiding, and having lockouts for dungeons makes the game less fun. For those that choose to raid, they are not getting the WoW Classic experience in a hardcore setting, they are getting an experience customized to making Hardcore easier. Dungeon lockouts restrict how people can play the game and their journey to max level, which limits the options people have to play the game.The Anticlimactic Ending To Obtaining The Whirldwind Axe-Warrior Class Weapon | Hardcore WoW Gaming[MiT] Epona2023-06-24 | I would've liked to have attempted it myself, but it is what it is.Hardcore WoW Song | Hardcore WoW Gaming Parody of 24kGoldn - Mood ft.

The chance of a crushing blow follows the formula ((X - Y)*2)% - 15% where X is enemy weapon skill, and Y is player's defense skill. This proves the 3 level disparity as you can get up to 5 skill each level, so a level 18 enemy versus a level 15 player will be calculated as (90-75)% - 15% = 15%.
I have been face tanking mobs the whole time, so my defense skill should be max (or 1 off) for my level (15*5=75), giving the raptor a 15% per attack to hit me with a crushing blow. The odds that at least 3 of the 4 attacks are crushing blows is 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 4/4, which is (0.15^3)*4 + 0.15^4 = 0.0135 + .00050625 = 0.01400625, meaning there is about a 1.4% chance for that raptor to attack me like this.
The total damage from the 4 attacks were 43 + 44 + 43 + 25 = 155. Had I only been hit with 2 crushing blows, I would've taken lets say *25* + 44 + 43 + 25 = 137, which would've been more than my 135 remaining health at the time of the blow, but what if I would've also dodged, parried, or the raptor missed or if one of those many resists did damage cmon man :PTears of the Kingdom: Wind Temple Gameplay[MiT] Epona2023-05-18 | First dungeon in the game, surprised how fun it was! -- Watch live at twitch.tv/mit_eponaHow Streamers Viewbot on Kick.com[MiT] Epona2023-05-17 | Streamers on the new streaming platform Kick.com have been using this abuse for months ever since the website was created. View botting yourself on other platforms is at least somewhat deterred by it being difficult to do, but Kick leaves itself wide open for anyone to view bot. Randomly see streamers with high concurrent viewer counts but a following that doesn't match? This explains it. Just FYI, Kick follow botted a lot of streamers to get them to affiliate, which everyone also knows.
I made this video for people that don't know much about Kick and want a good laugh. The website runs smoothly, but simply they haven't created a viewer list in an attempt to hide that #1 people freely view bot on the website and #2 that the website view bots streamers by counting viewers as multiple viewers.
There are many other problems with Kick, but this is maybe the more important one that people need to be aware about.Tears of the Kingdom: 35 Minutes To Do 1 Shrine Puzzle[MiT] Epona2023-05-14 | Send help, I am a lost cause.

He turned in a quest and then promptly accepted the quest "The Missing Diplomat" which causes the named mob Private Hendel and two guards to turn into enemies, and to complete the quest, you have to kill Private Hendel. Additionally, this quest enables PvP on your character, even if you are on a PvE server. A player on the enemy faction named "Backtoelwynn" camps this spot for what is likely his entire life to kill players that unknowingly flag themselves for PvP by accepting this quest. This is when Backtoelwynn kills Mitch Jones.
The name Backtoelwynn is in reference to Elwynn Forest, which is the starting zone for Humans, because if he kills you while you are playing hardcore, you have to delete your character and start from level 1 again.
The addon that Mitch Jones is using tells you when certain quests will flag you for PvP, and also his chat was telling him for hours to not do this quest because of this. Mitch Jones has not been online streaming since this incident, as he is likely paying someone to level him to level 20 before he turns his stream on again.When you log in to Wrath of the Lich King Classic for the first time in a while[MiT] Epona2023-05-02 | Even though I am an orc, somehow I can understand him.Playing EverQuest in 2023 on kick.com/epona[MiT] Epona2023-05-02 | I couldn't figure out how to play the game.

Here you can see me (level 13) fighting a harpy (level 15). Before the disconnect, I use a Minor Healing Potion, which heals for 84 health. When I come back from the disconnect, I use Sinister Strike which misses and end up killing the harpy with auto attacks and have 77 remaining health. This means that had I remained auto attacking during the disconnect, I would've died, since the harpie would've brought me down to -7 health before I could finish it off.
Pretty crazy stuff, huh?
