That's kind of cool actually.
Would be cool to group up with PA guys and gals cross server though.
Even then, it's still very mediocre. Real ID sucks, plain and simple. It has no options nor flexibility. I may like Johnny Chucklefuck and wish to do a heroic cross-server. But we are not "choice bros." I don't want him knowing my real name. I do not want him knowing what I'm up to on Starcraft or Diablo.
Then you have fun issues like "Shit, our only friend dumb enough to pay into Blizzard's Executive Charity Fund can't get online. WELP."
I think someone high up in Blizzard or Activision has been playing too many Facebook games and it's giving him ideas.
Not like it matters though.
I was thinking about this in terms of warrior tanks when I wrote this. Pally tanks have no mastery soft cap, only a hard cap.
Edit: For clarification, a warrior tank can be unhittable because of a high enough mastery and still gain benefit from addtional mastery through crit block, once pally tanks are unhittable through mastery, it no longer grants any bonus. Warrior tanks would have a mastery hard cap at 100% crit block.
I was just using it as an example for some of the problems the developers might be having. If that was the sole issue, then yeah I don't think it would hold the patch back, but I bet there are other gear to talent balancing problems that could also be gumming up the works as well.
What else is in danger of capping out at 391 ilevel gear? Crit won't be. There are some haste soft caps but those are already in play in current gear. I don't think there are even any masteries that can cap anymore with the changes they've made since 4.0, besides the obvious caveat of tank masteries.
Me, too.

The cross-server thing works off Real ID. That is one aspect of what RealID is for.
RealID is not to be used with the random people you meet in cross server dungeons.
RealID is meant to be used with your friends. Your real friends that you physically know, and go out drinking with after work. Who already know you name and e-mail address.
Oh, typhoon? I've got it glyphed. See, I'm a GOOD moonkin, Arivia.
It is not hard to simply have toggles for real name, cross-game/realm functionality and so forth. Players can agree how intimate they can get with their information.
To make this incredibly clear: it is possible to have multiple degrees of "friendship" in the game. Do you want to see Orcmore's real name? Do you want to see each other in all Battle.net games? The game will ask Orcmore and permit it if he agrees. Functionality of new features becomes prohibitively limited when shackled by the current RealID requirement.

And now, to hope to pass out within a few minutes because I've fallen dramatically ill.
I cannot go to battlenet or wow because this computer is really old. It's funny other penny arcade loads fine the computer will freak out if I go to most of the things online
I got UP as a random 5 times when leveling from 79 to 80.
Blizz posted that you will be able to do cross-realm dungeon groups through RealID. So you can open a cross-realm party and just queue through LFD. It doesn't work cross-faction and also it will be part of a premium RealID package (i.e. you'll have to pay for the feature).
copy/paste from MMOchampion (where there is already a shitstorm over this)
how did you avoid killing all the people who fail at execution on skadi
ugh
pugs are really bad right now it seems and it is disillusioning me
his blue junk kinda tickles, I guess
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Probably the whirlwind after he lands, more likely. That can still hurt, especially if you don't run from it.
no no
think of all the gogogogogogogo dps who don't want to/are too stupid to wait for harpoons etc
execution fights suck with mouthbreathers
Steam
Only the strong can help the weak.
It doesn't make the fight harder
It just makes the fight take forever when the idiot hunter grabs all the harpoons and just hoards them, or the DK decides that shooting his harpoons when the boss is at the far end of the hallway is a great plan.
But eh, I wasn't going to use it anyways so I don't really care.
