Interesting it looks like there is a dubloon vendor on PTR that sells various rep items/cosmetic items/pets/toys and a mount for dubloons. I figured something like this would happen eventually which is why I basically stopped using them the first week islands came out.

I am most bummed out by the loss of atlas reactor. People clamor for new games doing new things so much and miss out on some truly exceptional games that really are doing some brand new things. It was just one of those games that you had to really play to grasp every time somebody tried to...

Well shadow in PVE is just a mess at the moment so that is no surprise. They are actually pretty strong in PVP from what I read but I just don't see any. Any strength they have in pvp likely just does not come even close to how nasty disc is in pvp. Sacrifice some damage in return for all the...

I can't explain the SWD change to talent at all. It was totally fine in the normal rotation and it just seemed really fucking strange they moved it to a talent. That they maybe ran out of time and decided to use SWD to fill it in does seem a bit plausible. Shadow really did not feel finished at...

Honestly for all the PVP I am doing lately I almost never see shadow priests. Disc is just so bananas in pvp right now it seems like most priests go that route currently.

SWD really should be baseline. Its not OP and it helps smooth out the rotation a good bit. More active stuff to do in open world fighting as well.

Given how it ends it could easily wind up having some continuation. It was not what I was expecting but pretty interesting movie and well worth watching.

I can see some reason that a dream job that still is pretty stressful for 30 years can get you to the point of hurm I have giant hats full of money wtf am I doing going to work every day for. And its not like they are completely gone they are on their advisory board so thats almost the best of...

My mom rarely notices video games but I was at the top of a statue of zeus when I flipped it from day to night and that got a wow out of her. Very beautiful game and I don't even have a great TV I can only imagine what it looks like on 4k.

Its pretty good. I am not that far into it just got my boat but they did a really good job with the look/feel of ancient greece and the gameplay is very enjoyable so far. I got a really good sparta kick on my first boarding action to punt the enemy captain to the sharks very satisfying.

This is very true it is very worth at least looking to see if an invasion is up. if it is do it if not and you just want to blast through 110 fast islands are a really solid option. Also with 8.1 there are going to be invasions in BFA areas as well so curious of those are as strong leveling...

This is very true. A lot of 120s are doing normals just to hunt for items and if you get a good paladin or DH or blood DK they can pull basically the entire fucking island on normal and just grind it down. My 110 disc priest was hitting some hilarious DPS levels holy noving+haloing the entire...

If you have full rested a few normal island runs is sufficient to hit 111 super fast. Did it a couple times last weekend to get some pvp alts to join friends in sub 120 pvp. Its really painless and I even got a couple of pets for doing it.

Its hard to come back from the double jump/glide built in stuff and they are so speedy that going from a Demon hunter to a dk makes you feel like you tied lead weights to your feet.

Hold my beer!

You also get the currency from scrapping purples so the war zones may be more useful to run once you out gear them.

Man the current brawl is cancer. Basically just a test to see how many healers match making gave you and how many melee which are basically the loss condition in it.

Given what it would cost to sponsor some basement dweller to play a game they are already playing compared to a TV spot or some big web campaign it has to be the lowest of hanging fruit advertising wise.

Yup that is one of the frustrating parts of being a CM. You may have more information you know the players will want but there is a tight leash about what you are allowed to say and CM's are generally pretty far down the totem pole for deciding if something can be said or not. Blizzard in...

Probably makes sense to sponsor some youtubers and pay them for a positive spin. Probably pretty cheal in the long run advertisement wise.

Interesting apparently when you use it puts a ring of flames around you and a headless horseman head that laughs as you channel the port thats kinda neat. Apparently they are doing one of these for winterseve as well.

It looks like this years new thing is a new halloween hearthstone.

Naxxy has been around for at least a year I got him last year and pretty adorable lil pet I use him as one of my undead pet for pet battles.

One thing to note one of the whole reasons for the couple month delayed deployment of each LFR level is due to push back about how fast the catchup mechanics kick in. Its basically to give "real" raiders 2-3 weeks to gear up while the LFRs are picking away at their first 3 bosses. Blizzard has...

Problem with QA on stuff like this is a lot of it is we want you to look at if X is doing Y. In this case in this gear does bosses health scale to y if it does then tests as working and they move on to the next thing on the list. This is really the stuff that alpha/beta can smooth out. I think...

I think this seems pretty likely. The subtext is they ARE working on something bigger for diablo but it is not ready to really announce or talk about yet so people are kinda hyped for diablo stuff but are unlikely to be satisfied with what they get.

I think the scaling is also interacting oddly with the stat squish making it feel a lot more obvious than it was in legion.

I think they underestimated how bad that would feel at least initially given it basically is the same scaling they were doing from about halfway through legion. The problem though by the time it was introduced in legion people were already really overgeared compared to the mobs so the scaling...

Yup and I would bet money that world quests/heroic dungeon ilevel bumps up to 350 at least. Its basically along the ones of what we saw in legion. Blizzard has found that people in general seem to like the every raid tier gear reset. If nothing else it makes catching up for people who have...

This is standard for years new raid comes out old raid gear is now entry level.

The weird thing with leveling speed is most games it takes you longer and longer to level as you go but wow currently is nearly the reverse after the 40s. Once you hit 90 and get to the outlands leveling is super fast where half a zone and some bonus areas and you are done. Then legion if you...

This seems to be what torchlight is working towards some kind of more persistent world torchlight so something like that with diablo probably could work pretty well. Kinda mating diablo with marvel heroes would work pretty well too.

Kinda funny been doing a lot of PVP lately and noticed my reagent bank was getting full up with all the random meat/fish I get from the PVP boxes. I had not really done any cooking yet this expansions I figured hey lets see how far I can get with the random shit PVP is cranking out materials...

One thing that also has me curious is does blizard have a cannon outcome to the warfronts. Cause I just killed the shit out of lady liandrin and in a couple weeks horde are going to murder a pretty major alliance character. That seems like either outcome would have some pretty significant...

I would agree. Something visible you can work towards that has some certainty but also you get the once per week random item. Also good differences in power level between the normal puggers and people doing more serious stuff at a satisfying pace.

As a random aside from all the complaints about BFA I have to say I am really enjoying PVP a lot this go round. Legion I did very little because the whole prestige system hurt my brain and the way it forced you to basicaly have a single PVP character only offended me. This go round the gearing...

I just ran through a fresh 120 through the warfronts. I have to say its a pretty solid catch up mechanic for alts. Then once you get 340 everywhere it makes gearing up higher even easier. So pretty nice way to get a fresh character up to decent raiding/mythic dungeon gearing pretty painlessly. I...

One of the ranged caster issues this go round is all of them seem to be a lot more turrety than the last couple expansions aside from beast mastery hunters. Even affliction needs to hard cast their big damaging power to apply it. Now add in a lot of fights with high movement and you start seeing...
