In general it looks like they have made Helltides a giant waste of time.

Tougher mobs and more cinders to open a mystery box? Listen, Blizzard, I didn't get anything special from the boxes anyway. 95% of the time I sold it or broke it down.

I get the impression they've misjudged how valuable we find Helltides.

I must have misspoke or misheard. If I found the correct unit it's AAA batteries.

I think it's this unit. My Sister said it was cheap on Amazon.

It was definitely a knock off thing. Had games I remember and then some obviously hacky knock off games named things like "Super Mario 26".

I'd say it seemed worth $20ish bucks. But, if you're interested in something super serious this probably isn't it.

My 9 year old Nephew got a small handheld emulator for his birthday. Some cheaper knock off unit.

He was excited and was showing me all the cool old NES games he could play. Most from my own childhood.

While grinning at me, my Sister told him to tell me what he had told her the best thing about it was.

My Nephew exclaimed that the very best thing about it was that it took AA batteries. So he didn't have to wait for it to charge. He could just swap batteries.

It blew his mind when I told him everything was like that when his Mom and I were kids.

I'm down to get back to that.

Same here.

In addition, I think it might turn people away just a bit to have to explain instances and that it isn't quite as simple as sign up and get at it.

Not that it's all that complicated. But, it definitely isn't as straight-forward as Reddit is.

But do you ride tractors in your bathing suit?
