Don't remember about other portals for horde beside Orgrimmar, but Alliance side, you have Stormwind (mage tower) and Ironforge (next to the dwarven forge). Level 3 garrison has the full tower next to the mine area; at level 1 & 2 it's only a pile of construction materials. You automatically...

Took me a while but I'm pretty good now (at ilvl 711). I'm going with another shadow priest as acolyte (the Arrakoa bodyguard), and stuff dies rather quickly. While I don't have the survivability of a DK, I simply chain pull stuff and do my dailies quickly. I don't use dots though, the talent I...

Because you only need 25k apexis if you want a guaranteed 695 item; if you want a 650-695 (the latter with lots of luck, it's usually 665-680 when I get an upgrade) to boost your ilvl, then your 7k+ daily round gives your nine baleful tokens for one week for the slots you're missing which is in...

Tanaan all the way. Tanaan baleful gear is way better than anything prior to citadel raids, except Citadel LFR if you happen to score a warforged socketed version (I'm obviously not including LFR in "raids"). Its downside is that it takes quite some time unless you're willing to spend 3-4 hours...

It's supposed to be another Nerubian Fortress, i.e. a smaller copy of Acherus. It actually makes sense since they already have a teleport back and forth between there and whatever current content there is.

I'm pretty sure it's the point. The datamining shows the legendaries bound, so they are almost certainly BoP. Meaning they are going to be personal spec-loot system (i.e. when you get one, it's one that's useable by you). They might add another mechanic to it, but I doubt it; the...

Nope, he's still with a contract option for Infinity Wars part 2. But they're probably going to have him "retire from superhero affairs" following some form of humbling failure at the end of the movie.

The book series is good. They've got a contract for 9, 5 are out so far with the 6th coming up this summer. I also liked how they set up the impression that Holden's crew is going to rescue Julie on the Scopuli, but she's not there.

The only way to get those is the BMAH...

Yay for the episode. And, of course, boo for making a free episode where "This content is not available from your location".

It's TV. If it's succesful, it will have a sequel, even though the book itself basically covers that season 1 and Dick never wrote a sequel.

Do Tanaan anyway. If you're careful about what fight you pick and try to stay away from groups, you'll survive no pbm, specially if you have the tank bodyguard with you. If you haven't recruited her, do it first, then head back to Tanaan. There's a couple oftreasuresthat can help, plus if you...

There's two possibilities: One is that it's a temporary position for the pre-launch event. Two: it's a phasing map, and you get into the Broken Isles not using the flying fleet seen in the trailer, but when Dalaran moves itself into position. So, just like you had a Tanaan jungle trek at...

Sitting in front of the mission table to send your treasure hunter followers plus scavengers twice a day, finish any mission that yields a sellable, get out every 3 days to empty the cache and dump GR on buying gold bags, open and sell salvage when you start having two-three stacks = 1k gold per...

I particularly like the Karana Br... sorry, the River Bridge.

I'm pretty sure you can't; relics appear to be the Artifact-only version of gems. So you can't recover a relic once slotted, you can only overwrite it. Which is part of why it's going to be slightly more difficult to keep all your artifact to the top: you'll need to farm artifact power AND...

Well, we did manage to fend off antigravity nerubian fortresses, so why not legion star destroyers?

Turns out I understood it wrong. If you fail at tier N, you can keep on retrying (with no loot chest) until you succeed and move to tier N+1. However, you'll restart from tier 1 every week.

The new challenge dungeons sounds like that. Basically, you start at just above Heroic level, then every time you manage to finish the dungeon - in moderately reasonable time -, you get loot with +X ilvl, and the stone to do it with higher difficulty and bigger +X. Until you fail, and have to do...

Can you really make a guild hall solo? From what I read, it shouldn't be really possible...

It's something that I've loved to do since the days where EQ introduced armor tinting and I could at last have my armor look again the proper purple cleric planar armor (which was easy since so many armors did use the same basic texture). That and have my bard still look like he wore 7...

Plus, of course, your DH is level capped to 100, so you basically play the intro, ding a few levels during it, and get dropped with half an xp bar to fill for the next 6 days...

Nope. You can't even unlock the old-world mastery system part without doing the expansion intro.

Yea, meaning an achievement that tracks account-wide the fact that you did all of the outdoor content. Save Archaeology. I just hope they don't wrap faction reps in it again. Nor having to wait for the last patch of the expansion: if I've done all the outdoor content, then let me fly over it...

Figure out what current popular game genre there is (outside of RTS, MOBA, FPS, CC, RPG and MMO since those are covered). That's what they're brainstorming on currently. Their strategy always has been to take a popular genre, clone and put a gallon of polish, and go. PS: I want a...

To be fair, on paper, most of the WoD systems seemed perfectly fine. I mean, having followers being sent away to do missions and stuff for you sounds fine. Having alternate means of harvesting? Goody. A catch-up system that gives you slowly additional gear so you can improve on your raids? Good...

The only numbers I can find were those from 2013, where World of Warcraft was the #7 online game in terms of microtransactions earnings, with $220M.

Given the lack of fluidity in the token market, I'm guessing something like 75-100k people tops. And probably half of them would stay subscribed even without tokens. It's not going to go F2P until 1) They finish restructuring the game so that you have more incentives to purchase fluff (we're...

WoW tokens have an impact on EU/NA realms, where there are 1.9 million active accounts. Usual in the industry is 10 to 15% extra inactive but paying (people are lazy), so we have something like 2.2 million paying subs in EU/NA. I doubt there's even 5% of players that use the tokens as their...

Even Q1 is doubtful, unless they unleash the beta at Blizzcon (which they might). My guess is more like May or June.

The original format of GW1's classes was good. Fixed main class (fixes equipment categories for the character), secondary class from any, collectible skills. The GW2 format is much simpler, and thus lacks a certain depth.

While it's not impossible to find guilds, I think there's a distinctive lack of guild recruitment tools. We're still stuck in the era of city-global chat spamming. Considering about 90% of those recruitment spams consist of "guild at level X/13 in NM/HM, Y/13 in HM/MM, looking for class/specs...

Just came from doing Kazzak. A guy was joining pick-up raids, and repeatedly pulling Kazzak on the raid that was assembling, until he got kicked and de-zoned. That's what you get when you have bored people with no accountability.

Even my 80-year old mom switched this spring. You're late.

Yea. If you're only working with integer/fixed precision numbers, then going from 32 bits to 64 gives you 4 billion larger coordinates. Otherwise, if you're dealing with floating point, you go from plank-scale precision to beyond the edge of the visible universe, but it becomes more and more...

Didn't complete it. That jump point in the SW of the central WvW map was a major pain, and after an hour or so of falling every time on the same two-three beams of wood, I said "enough". Of course, they removed it from full map criteria now, since the map is gone (and they're probably going...

There were no "ton of quite similar games". If you define EQ as "3D MMORPG", then you had exactly three in 1999: Meridian59, EQ and Asheron's Call. That's it. For the next two years, you can add Dark Age of Camelot in the US, and untranslated asian stuff that would be barely playable in the west...

Again, Wowhead has a tool (the sidebar on the main page) which will display which dailies are up for this day, so you don't have to log in to check if you're real casual. However, if you take the quest from the table and do not complete it that day, it poofs from the log, so do it asap.

Mostly. LFR is still "raid lite" with most of the game mechanics that require actual coordination disabled, but if you want to see what the zone and bosses look like, then yes. I wouldn't qualify those non-raid epics as "end-game" or close, it's more like tier 1.5 of 4 last-patch epics, with...

I had completely forgotten that Hallow's End was starting this sunday, so I come out of my city hall, and I see a yellow ! I don't usually see and guess what: You even get a candy bucket in your garrison! Side note: apparently, they do Hallow's End on Outland, but not in alt-Outland. Not even...
