Because outdoor content is the gateway to LFR/Mythic. If you get higher stuff outdoor, why even do Mythic (which is now the staple/expected minimal group content - normals are for leveling, heroics for the odd WQ, everything else requires you to do Mythic - cough, Hydrocores, cough). That's why...

Diablo 4, Diablo adventures or World of Diablo (maybe???). That's all the new stuff they're showing this year. The next expansion won't be discussed on the year they launch the current. All the WoW panels will be art stuff and patch 8.1.

The 3.2M at launch for worldwide-china-excluded is certainly incorrect. The 47% drop (3.2->1.7) between then and now is almost certainly correct. Why do you think they gave away that pet and mount if you subbed 180 days, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, GET IT BEFORE IT'S OVER, NOW NOW NOW!!!

Except you can't really do this, because you do need to be 320 before going to the Warfront. Unless you're swimming in gold/crafter alts, that's not happening before the WQ expires.

Bear Tartare is old content. Therefore, it must be absolutely useless today and not worth any time farming for.

Quoted for Truth.

Been meandering into various indy gamelit / dungeon core / wuxia novels; Nothing particularly notable. Next books in the pile: The latest Honor Harrington book (pure Weber, no collaboration, yay!), and The Dreaming Stars from Tim Pratt. I've read the The Wrong Stars, book 1 of the series, a...

The WB is like every WB. You got your base 20/25% chance of getting some loot, plus token bonus roll.

Well, that's the same mechanic that apparently caused all those weird-ass azerite cache reward shenanigans where people at 363 would see a 370 reward, and some at 371 would only have a 355...

The rewards are "any spec you could be". Hence why my BM hunter that has always been BM except for 2hours when I had to pick the other artefact weapons to get the class mount got a halberd reward this weekend (the same halberd I mentioned for the feral druid). But, based on what the CM said...

Hotfix for the hotfix: apparently, it kept different ilvl based on spec. So you might have ilvl 369 equipped, but the server thought you only had 351 for feral, so it gave you only 355 because it was thinking you wanted feral. Even if you were in non-feral spec. I can't even...

From what I heard, you get a 355 reward at 350+ ilvl, and a 370 at 365+. Remember: this is intended as a source of azerite gear when you have upgraded most of your stuff but can't find an azerite piece because they're rarer than epic BOE world drops.

That hotfix was wonky. My ilvl 359 char was seeing a 340 cache on the map, but when I turned in, the emissary was showing a 355 reward for the quest instead (which is what I got. Of course, I have a 370, 355 and 340 azerite armor pieces, and it gave me a piece for the 370 slot...).

That, or it was designed first, then someone realized "fuck, we open beta tomorrow and nobody put the NPCs yet???"

You know that Boralus has 3 flight points, but you don't really have to use them? The Horde pyramid has 2, and you NEED them to go between your main hub and the boat for the mission table. Oh, and the professions are smack in the middle of the way between the two (ok, kidding, you just have to...

Emissary reward yesterday was a Feral polearm (Alliance/EU).

Level locking was added in LK, so no.

Gems? That name would confuse the hell out of people. Let's call them something else... relics?

A sandbox MMO: - Modular roles rather than classes, you pick/build/spec a role (tank, heal, etc) with various skills/passives that you collect/gain (skill tree? open skills) Example: You have 500 skills with pre-reqs in terms of stats, other skills, total power. You select a number of skills...

Nope. An Interesting Mob is the ultimate goal. As some dev said once, making a boss that slaughters your raid is trivial (kill healers first, then debuff, then dps, THEN the tank). Making it so that the fight is challenging/interesting is much, much harder. And learning mobs would almost...

Crafting components are at a rock-bottom cost at the AH, thanks to the recycler. At 30 expulsom, the only things that might have been good would be plants, if they bring back reliably Anchor Weed, and even then. The only useful follower equipments seem to be the leatherworking one that gives...

You already do that. You kill the boss in normal. Then you go and kill it on Heroic. Then you go and kill it on Mythic. Most of the time, there's a new mechanic that gets added to deal with.

There's currently two levels in WoW. Max level and non-max level. Max level is when ilvl becomes a factor. Non-max is the rest.

I went one step further back and picked the Night's Dawn trilogy instead. And my first thought was "what? 1996??? That's... prehistoric!" (I even have the books signed, I didn't remember that he came at my usual bookstore then for a signing tour).

Classic isn't there. It's only two vanilla starter zones. Let's KILL HOGGER!!!

This year, the "two faction-locked toys and two faction-locked xmogs" in-game rewards are underwhelming. Since there's no new expansion being discussed, there's no real need to purchase a virtual ticket to have the streams of the panels (the opening ceremony is free). The "two starter zones for...

Automatic server hopping interferes massively with the nodes. It goes like this: Your client is notified that a node is up because you entered the range at which it receives such You are transferred to a different server because you changed subzones and the game decided to mess with you You are...

Well, this time, you don't have a neck, so it's the same (just a different slot).

Statistically, that's true, since you have 3 pieces that don't forge (azerite), and 1/2 that can only warforge (weapons). So you have less titanforges than previously...

Finished, I'd give it 2½ stars out of 5, which is a low bar for Hamilton. ("Salvation", book 1 of new series) The background is a new one, but the first book absolutely suffers from too many timelines. You have a central timeline, a number of flashbacks from that timeline (the participants to...

I wouldn't bet, but I remember a panel from a recent issue in which you had all kind of alternate Cpt. Marvels using... the Reality Infinity Stone to get in touch and coordinate on universal threats. So, altering reality is possible...

Yup. I'm not subbing to the kickstarter full pack because his wrist isn't going to survive the 635 dedicated books he already has; but I'm getting the hardcover...

There's 2 rares that have charms as their loot for being rare (loot on first kill only), and 2 quests that reward it (all alliance side; horde not invited to the party). Plus a couple chests that have some. Outside of that, you have one mission every 5-6 days, and usually 1 WQ a day. You have...

I have an alt that dinged this weekend. His neck was 12. You are telling me you got 7 neck ilvls in 2 days playing casually? jenniferlawrenceokay.gif

But, but, but... there's PET CHARM missions there! If that alone does not justify an entire game mechanic complete with resource farming, I don't know what does!

2 ilvl on your neck per AP level, if I'm not mistaken.

From what they imply, your last power lvl is fixed basically by the ilvl of the item, while your first power is based off your current power level & item ilvl, with the rest linearly inbetween. So the 370 chest would always have a 26 max power, but it might have had a start lower than 17 if...

Flying will require Pathfinder Part II (or maybe even Part III), with 1 or 2 additional reps added in 8.2. And, of course, we'll have the Emerged N'yatotha isle, where our mounts are permanently grounded, to farm in 8.3, so flying will be slightly useful for two months...

You have to do them only once per account. Once the outpost is "populated", it can be used by all your chars. The followup missions for "improvement" are per character though. Some improvements are essential, like the one where I populate the cave with baby dinosaurs to pet. I kid you not...

Got that one as well. Was funny seeing my follower getting 0 XP (because of course he's been maxed since forever).
