    Transmog stuff, of course. I'll grab as many appearances I can on the day before S3 ends.

    Well, after 12 years, you're in your groove. The choices are stark: either keep doing what you have been, tweaking bits here and there and doing minor stuff, or do an NGE that is guaranteed to piss off a large amount of your current player base without guaranteeing to bring any new blood...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Most of the gameplay was stupid anyway, so you had to find your own goals. It is actually more boring now because almost all garrisons are on full autopilot and I don't even go once a week to see what the Inn has on offer.

    Did that with most of my alts (mostly alliance side). A full dwarf one was ultra easy, I finally had my full Draenei two months ago, still lacking one night elf to wrap up the druid one. The one that is hard as fuck is the Worgen one, I'm at 18/25 (after recruiting for over a year when I finally...

    Was kinda expecting that one. It would be slightly more time consuming, but your former treasure hunters being 3x GR instead, you'd rack in quite a few gold. Didn't see that one coming. There's not enough of them coming out to really provide more than maybe 100g per day even with a bunker and...

    Guild Wars 2

    I've also stopped entirely logging in. I tried to play a bit, found the new map confusing, saw that IHADto play on those maps to do anything for the new progression systems, said "sod it", and left the game to rot on a corner of the hard disk.

    Yup, that sounds right. Except for the "you need a gathering profession to support your crafting profession... hmmm, except for tailoring, but... ok and enchanting maybe, but they're not real profession, right? After all, they don't make full sets of gear to... oh, tailoring does? Fuck, how do...

    Yea. Sounds like a plan... I know, that was like 2 pages ago. Even if they make the Blood BOA, I will probably drop Inscription this time. It's obvious they haven't figured out what to do with it. I remember an old interview during MoP where they basically said they regretted making it a...

    So, I've been following the doubling down of Blizzard on the Blood of Sargeras ("you're going to get some in dungeons!") and starting to plan an eventual switch of professions. And I hadn't paid attention to Inscription. Really paid attention. OMG, what a gutted profession. There are no...

    They've indicated that they're going the same way as Pandaria. So you have until 7.0 to start the questline, and until Aug 30 to complete it. The dev summit interview had them saying explicitly that they're going to nerf the ring if it is still more powerful than endgame rings for Legion.

    Yup. It was only intended to be used in a single expansion, which is why it's located on Draenor, and not an instance in Stormwind or something. The Class Halls might be re-used in the expansion after Legion, but I'm doubtful. They've been careful about removing anything that might be...

    Unless you have a ready garrison+shipyard setup for gold or want lots of free BOE green transmog, no there's none until 7.0 by mid/late july. You even have time in 7.0 to raise your gathering skill to 700 because they decided to make the main crafting reagent, Blood of Sargeras, BOP instead...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Currently, you can pick your level 19 req. bracers and put a Superior Stamina (+9 sta on it) and get a shitton (relatively speaking) of hit points. With legion, you will have exactly the same HP with enchanted or unenchanted bracers while in a BG.

    Yes; your stats (all of them, including your secondaries) are based on level + a small bonus of 1% per 10 ilvl above "standard for your level". Since it's impossible to get much ilvl above until you're at an expansion cap, low-level twinking will give you like 0.75% higher stats than your...

    The new UI will make it a bit easier to figure out what you're missing, but until you have a way of sorting items by their tints, making a non-set style is hard. Good example is this well-known russian dwarf frost mage from early transmog (works with any caster, actually): Staff is from...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the books, the blidness brings out her warging skills (which were limited to her Nymeria link), as she starts using a cat as her eyes. Even Jaqen starts becoming a bit suspicious because she's too good while being blinded. But show Arya isn't a warg. From the preview chapters, I think it's...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There's a shitton of weird stuff going on (and don't tell me the entire sequence didn't feel extremely "off"). So there's two hypothesis: either it's lazy showrunners and scriptwriting and Arya gets a free rez somehow, or it's a deliberate setup (by Arya and/or Jaqen) to trap/test the Waif. I...

    I do not believe in equality

    You're arguing different opportunities. You're talking about "legal" opportunity, by which everyone is allowed to succeed. Draegan is talking about "practical" opportunity, by which not everyone will be capable of achieving success. If the only opportunity that counted was the legal one, then...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She also immediately rolled over the bridge when stabbed, and it felt absolutely odd. Without the following sequence where she's absolutely paranoid about people around her, it would look very much like a setup ("when are they going to come for me?" "oh there she is" "ok, let's make sure they...

    I still do, because that'll bring me tons of crates with basic transmog stuff. It's 30mn per day that saps my will to do anything else; I'm actually looking forward to the patch where those crates will stop dropping and I'll probably do something with my main character instead of just doing the...

    Nope, specially since the campaign (if it's like the old garrison one) is going to take longer to finish anyway. Part 2 is supposed to be shorter (probably "complete 6th extra zone", "map 6th zone", "finish new campaign chapter").

    The main storyline quests for each zone; there's probably 10-15% of the quests you might be able to bypass. Pathfinder part 1 requires: - Loremaster (all 5 zones story completed; 4 leveling + Suramar at max level) - Explorer (all 5 zone maps explored) - Diplomat (all 6 PVE Legion factions...

    It's steam, so you can (if I remember right) get a refund within 2 weeks if you played less than two hour. If you played more than 2, you're SOL.

    Not a big problem, you need to complete all quests in all 5 zones to unlock flying ("part 1"). You'll waste far more XP on the last 3 zones than the intro

    Gender and Race Equality

    Lots of people have tried to dismiss the pay gap, but the only times the pay gap disappear is when you're dealing with government "hardcoded" pay scales. Every time someone is allowed to decide on pay, females end up with lower rates, all other things considered. Including when it's a woman...

    Did the Waif get blind-drug training? Because if I was to guess, that's why Arya blew that candle.

    They were dead before being killed. Doesn't count. ** EDIT ** I stand corrected, you do see 0.2s of the shadow of someone being killed in a vision. It's arguable if it counts.

    WarCraft (2016)

    Just saw this. The problems are two-fold: - Too much CGI, and it's of really uneven quality (some of the spell casting looks Uwe Boll level of game movie CGI) - Plot is very basic, without the slightest surprises (even if you don't know the Warcraft lore, most of it is telegraphied) It's...

    Hmm, you're right, that wasn't what I understood initially from the article. I was left with the impression that GRRM had basically told them when Dany arrives with her army and wins, and the 3 main plot points not yet in the books they needed to put. But yea, they might have had more.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That's mostly because it is counter-intuitive at multiple levels. But, as others pointed, we're equipped by evolution to make sense of life in the african savannah, not the core aspects of physics.

    Apparently, the showrunners got 3 spoiling from Martin, Shireen's death, Hodor's origins, and the end of the series. So until then, we're in total improvisation mode, but the show will reconnect to the books at the very end of S8...

    There's also his insistence about that being "the time for you to become me", in addition to his warning about being able to remain stuck in the past if you're not careful. Add the two together, sprinkle with the fact that the greenseer is incapable of moving (like... a broken spine?), and...
