    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It sure feels that way, but it's also a career killer as well for the more well-known devs on the team, if that's the case.

    It depends on what the licenses in your account on the Mog Station say. If you don't have Heavensward+ checked off in that Steam/PS4/PC table, then you have only the base game available to you. I've had each expansion as they came out, so I can't say I know exactly how it works beyond the...

    Welp, called the Kaylon secret; did not exactly call the twist of what they were going to do. Is it a good thing or a bad thing if I want it to be a trilogy episode?

    I don't know about anyone else, but some of the shenanigans in the Baldesion Arsenal just crack me the fuck up. Like the eviction notice EM got served by one boss.

    You'll get very sporadic queues (of a small number), and patch day will almost always have a queue at server up and occasionally at other times, particularly prime time US. Expansion release, though? Take the day off, because there will be a queue almost all day. During Early Access (for...

    They did that for the 8.0 update and have for some of their past expansions; Legion became free for the 2-4 weeks before BFA launched. I forget the exact amount of time.

    They said in the Keynote they're going to do a passover and purge, but we won't find out until probably late May, assuming they follow similar scheduling for Stormblood's 4hr battle system review + misc. (IIRC, it was 3h on the battle system alone, and I wasn't bored for a single minute.) (I...

    Oh it was, don't get me wrong, but I thought the Troll modifier from Viangaa was slightly higher, edging it out of first place. Lore wise, from the teaser:

    Best part of Keynote was the Viangaa troll, imo. That was just comedy to throw that at everyone.

    Did you play 2.0 Warrior at all? (Serious question, not meant as criticism.) That was... interesting to deal with as a healer.

    If you can afford a crafted one, that'd be the fastest by far. Second in line would be to do the Centurio Seal hunt bills, both the weekly and daily ones, then you can go for a Lost Allagan one at i330/340 (the upgrade item requires seals as well).

    Hell, they could just pull the lore directly from XIII about magitek for why a Garlean race/Hyur-clan could use "magick." @Asmadai -- How are Summoner, Scholar, Black Mage, White Mage, Paladin and Samurai any different from how Judge would go in terms of "lots of them running around"...

    Honestly, I'm hoping it's called Judge instead of Gunblade, but they both have their own kind of flair for a job name.

    Yeah I don't have much other than the fact that the launcher presumably uses IE modules for handling the interface. Only thing I can suggest is finding a way to reinstall IE fresh and hope for the best.

    They're going to be putting in "soft" (and free) server xfers in the next few months, so all that really will matter by then is that you create on the post-split Aether data center. Any of: Adamantoise, Cactuar, Faerie, (Gilgamesh ofc), Jenova, Midgardsormr, Sargatanas, and Siren will do.

    I seriously hope they gate it so that the crafters/gatherers who accrue a certain amount of contribution and/or do it every week are the first to do so, perhaps in Wards 1/2, before opening the floodgates to the rest.

    I'm going to ditto what @Pyros said. The biggest issue I have with BLU is that some of the potencies and skills are either redundant, and/or are meant solely for the Carnivale because of the elemental weakness factor. Some of the synergies aren't the greatest, either: - Water Cannon's potency...

    We're in agreement about the 8BLU party shenanigans. BLU is terrible for tank busters, partly because Diamondback is not an instant cast spell, for one, and there are some effects (Tonberry King's Grudge attack, for one) that will pierce through its 90% mitigation. I discovered just how bad...

    There aren't any. Your upgrades are your armor/accessories with +int. I don't get why they threw baby out with the bathwater there at all.

    This is why I'll probably be doing Battlecraft leves early on. There just won't be anything alive. Plus, even without an exp boost to world NPCs you can still get to 15 pretty quickly that way.

    I think Orbonne Monastery is one of their most well-executed locations for aesthetic in the game. Absolutely loved how they did the environment, music changes, bosses being voice acted (2nd stood out there for me) and also final boss's transition phase. Mechanically, it was cracking the mold...

    i290 is the "fresh 70" ilvl, because the job chest and related (crafted) accessories are that. i340 is the "ready for 4.2" threshold (in terms of raiding) i370 is the "ready for 4.4 and 5.0" threshold In terms of getting caught up on MSQ, you will want to be i340, as that's the requirement...

    Kind of echoing what Pyros said, but the Heavensward and Stormblood leveling isn't as bad because Fieldcraft leves give you a decent chunk of experience each time. There's a little bit of grinding, but it's not nearly as atrocious as 2.0 launch was before they buffed gatherer exp earning across...

    If there's one thing I'll kind of miss, it's the Tournament Packs they had. I bought so many of those for Ravnica: City of Guilds, since I generally got dual lands from them since the cards didn't repeat in those packs.

    Personally, because of Shadowbringers going into Hydaelyn and Zodiark in more detail, I would want the raid to be the Lunar Subterrane. Exactly how Golbez, Zemus, and the Lunarians would factor in is hard to say, but I know I'd want to do a Binding Coil redux to the tune of the Lunar...

    It's your punishment for being level 60 and not 60+. Anyway, what Pyros said about getting to 61; Grand Company daily submission in addition to collectibles will mean you can just ignore the L60 altogether. It would only last you until about L65, iirc, and at this point isn't really worth the...
