Also as far as 9.0.5 goes there's not really any discussion on it because there's not much to talk about. They added: Valor for M+ players (but you can't upgrade old gear, you have to refarm the items and then upgrade them) Torghast power changes (this is decent at least for my AffLock, they...

Well according to someone in the reddit thread: It's the same discussion that came up when deepfakes first started. I can see a rogue state like N Korea using this tech very effectively for their propaganda (who there is going to dare to debunk it?). Anyways I don't want to get too political...

This one is pretty good too

Honestly the most exciting thing to happen for a while is the discovery of the wombo.ai app

Yeah, feels like they are life support that this point. ActiBlizz management keeps trying to squeeze more blood out of that stone but it's already dry. There's only so much bullshit players will put up with before they unsub and go play something else. I beat the solo game this week (Twisting...

It's going to be interesting to see their next quarterly report. They had "record highs" in Q4 2020 because it included everyone who logged in during the month of December (and Dec 1st was 9 days after the expansion launched). Q1 2021 is going to show a huge dropoff which is why they're...

Yeah I'm sure it's possible to squeak by with some specs now, but that's kind of the point. It's a 4 year old raid that should be trivial for anyone to do at level cap now. It's always been pretty easy to go back and kill stuff from two expansions ago but the level squish broke that.

Expansions before Legion are easily doable by anyone. Legion and BFA are not doable except for tank classes with strong self heals. Don't get me wrong though, the scaling is screwed up everywhere. First boss of ICC has more HP than some Mythic BFA raid bosses, for example. Difference being...

And still not even a basic acknowledgement from them that old content scaling is busted, never mind any kind of plan to fix it. Now that the campaigns are finished, there really is nothing for casuals to do if you don't raid/M+/PVP. Ion wanted to squish stats and levels but instead he's...

Just a heads up at Renown 22+ this week if you need a weapon, you can get an honor weapon and upgrade it to 197 for a few hours of derping around in random battlegrounds.

My memory is hazy as well but I definitely remember farming my ass off for pots/elixirs/flasks for our early Gruul/Mag/Kara runs. Later on in TBC, not so much.

There's going to be a big spike in PvP battlegrounds next week because at Renown 22 you can upgrade all of the honor gear to 197. After that we'll see. Conquest gear goes up to 226 but you have to actually get a good rating to get it.

Developer Interview - Ion Hazzikostas Lots of WTF in this interview but this is my pet issue: Scaling is completely fucked in old content right now and apparently Ion thinks it's fine. We've always been able to go back and hulk smash content from 2 expansions ago, and dip our toes into the...

MALL WALKER

Not only do they take much longer to do now, but many of them have 2 or 3 steps now. It only shows the first step when you start it, then when you think you're finished they're like "oh btw, need you to collect these 10 other things". Then you really think you're done but "oh btw, need you to...

He's the guy behind the inn in Oribos

This is correct. The [Covenant] hearth you can buy at renown 11 is just a cosmetic effect to your normal hearth.

Arthas kills Sylvanas and the Jailer, redeems himself and saves the world? Could happen but naw, this is Woke Blizzard now. It's more likely that Sylvanas is a stronk womyn who's been playing 4d chess this whole time to save the world (never mind that she burned thousands of women and children...

You won't, the exp curve is really front loaded into the early levels and Bastion for some reason but it slows down a lot in the later zones. If you leave Bastion at 55 you will probably get to 57 in Maldraxxus, then 58 or maybe 59 in Ardenweald. Then you'll hit 60 near the end of the...

The quest will pop up automatically in Stormwind/Org when it goes live. You talk to someone there and they will send you to Icecrown. Nothing you really have to do to prepare, just make sure you have plenty of bag space. Get some Goblin Glider Kits off the AH if they're not too expensive...

If you're trying to stay ahead of the pack then yeah, I would skip side quests until you finish the story campaign in Revendreth. You'll likely end up at 59.25 or 59.5 and can do side quests there to make up the difference. If you run out you can go back to Ardenweald and do a few more to ding...

I'm hoping that they use this expansion to tie up a bunch of these loose ends. There are some dead major characters that you bump into in the zones. I hate the cliffhangers because it's not like a show where you may have to wait a week, it's more like 6 months to possibly years before you get...

This is such horseshit, I honestly thought it was a bug or not implemented yet in beta. I made a thread about it like a month ago on the beta forums because it's so jarring not to have this QOL improvement we've had for the past 4 years. In the interview he says it's all good because you get a...

Don't go too crazy trying to gear up, everything is replaced so quickly. You get a 148 weapon from a level 54-55ish story quest, and I just got a 177 weapon from a world quest on a fresh 60 I just made to test some shit out on. The only slots that will last you to 60 are neck and cloak if they...

If I had to guess they will probably do some kind of TLP servers until TBC comes out. Probably why they hired Holly.

Yeah to be fair this is a fun expansion for the first few weeks or so and I'm sure a ton of people are going to play it, including here. There won't be too many trying to stay "current" though.

I think I'd rather take up smoking again than do Systemlands chores.

Just a friendly reminder to get WowUp soon to manage your addons. Twitch stops working on Dec 2nd and the Twitch app actually asks you to install Overwolf now (don't do it, it's AIDS malware).

Could be... I completed the gold mission on each of my characters, and none of them have one today.

I didn't even notice this until you brought it up, but I just checked all of my bricked characters that had the mission table unlocked. All 5 of them have a mission for 260-270ish gold. At least for now, gold is back on the menu boys!

No one knows what the fuck they are doing, it's not just damage adjustments they are adjusting numbers all over the place. For example in the most recent build they nerfed anima gains by 50% or more, and raised the weekly Renown quest requirements by 50% (from 1000 to 1500). As a result, if...

As others have said, it's probably to make it harder for the top 0.01% to keep 4 of the same class relevant.

They're hiring an artist?! I'd like to submit my portfolio:

You can, there's just not really a reason to right now. You can do a harder level to get a little more Soul Ash but it's really not worth it right now. To elaborate, there are 8 layers (difficulty levels) for each wing. The reward for beating them is Soul Ash (for legendaries) and each layer...

Pre-sales may be up but player engagement and retention are absolutely going to tank after the first few weeks. I've been meaning to rant about this for a week or two now so bear with me, it's a bit long. Currently on Beta there are three servers: Oribos, The Maw, and Torghast. Oribos and The...

It's supposed to force you to do BFA on your first character after the newb zone. After that future alts can Chromie Time and do whatever.

I didn't think the blue posts linked were all that bad either, just the overall attitude the devs have towards the playerbase these days. They just have to dig their heels in and die on every shitty hill, unless it's a really really really shitty idea, then they will revert it (but only halfway).

Interesting thread about the current state of communication between devs and players: Here's the text in case the tweets disappear: TL;DR: Ever since the old guard left WoW and Ion's team was put in charge, the devs have turned into a bunch of condescending manchildren who don't care about...

This gave me a good laugh:

It's even worse than your typical adware, bordering on malware. It stays running in the background while you play and whenever you hit a loading screen it serves up video ads (via their overlay) that you can't click out of. When you close out the client it stays running hidden in the...
