Rail shooter game Rainbow Cotton, a former Dreamcast exclusive, is releasing on modern platforms come Thursday, May 9. The Dreamcast was the last console ever released by Sega. It failed to sell enough units to keep the company in the console hardware business, causing Sega to pivot to almost exclusively developing software. Even so, the Dreamcast is often pointed to as one of the most underrated consoles ever produced, as it featured a number of important innovations and featured a library of high-quality games.
Paladin Seal Twisting is Making a Comeback in Season of Discovery
23.04.2024 - 08:09 / wowhead.com
As a part of the April 23rd Patch Notes, Blizzard stated that Seal of Martyrdom will now be able to «twist» with other seals such as Seal of Command. Seal Twisting seems to be making a reappearance as a part of the extensive feedback that Season of Discovery developers have been receiving over the last several weeks.
Seal of Martyrdom can now «twist» with other seals, including Seal of Command.
- Developers' notes: Seal «twisting» was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the Paladin's active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. This is something we would have considered a bug at the time, but for many players, it became a popular feature of the class, allowing skilled players to increase their output with precision gameplay.
We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it's been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. We had concerns about allowing Seal of Martyrdom and Seal of Command specifically to be twisted together in Season of Discovery for a variety of reasons, including the fact that the playstyle is highly mana inefficient, it largely requires addons such as a weapon swing timer to function properly, and twisting can be unintuitive for less experienced players. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW's history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Should it prove problematic, we may revert this change or apply additional adjustments later. We greatly appreciate the feedback we've received about this thus far.
With this change to allow twisting, we do not expect to see a major change in the «optimal» way to play Retribution right away. Due to the interaction between Art of War, Martyrdom, and Exorcism, we'll likely need a larger redesign and changes to that interaction to truly add more diversity to the Retribution playstyle. We're evaluating options here for potential changes we can make either via hotfix during Phase 3 or as part of a larger effort for Phase 4.
Seal Twisting has been a divisive mechanic in the WoW Classic community since its introduction in The Burning Crusade. What do you think of this change coming to

Why the Paladin Seals of Command Bug Needed To Be Fixed
As some of you may have already seen in your own raid groups, Paladins were able to capitalize on an unintended interaction between Seal of Righteousness, Seals of Command, and the Tiny Abomination in a Jar trinket after the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch launched. This allowed Paladins to deal unfathomable amounts of damage, to the point where the number calculations would often freeze or crash the game. While this isn't the only bug that the pre-patch launched with, the Seals of Command bug was quite literally game-breaking, both in terms of causing performance issues when triggered, as well as completely trivializing content (with some Paladins even going as far as being able to solo mobs in Icecrown Citadel).With the bug already fixed by Blizzard, we wanted to break down exactly how it functioned, and what the cause of it was.

Rumor: Wii U Exclusive from 2015 Could Be Making a Comeback on Switch
It's looking increasingly likely that the 2015 Wii U exclusive Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is coming to the Nintendo Switch at some point in the near future. It's no secret that the Wii U was a sales failure for Nintendo, and so the company's decision to port many of the platform's biggest exclusives to the Switch made a lot of sense.
