The normal answer would be that Draenor flying is the reward of the Draenor Loremaster achievement. Or, if you want it to be more of a "been there, done that" vein, say Draenor Veteran (requires Draenor Loremaster, 8 of the apexis dailies, and the Garrison Campaign). As an achievement, it...

Standard psychology 101: People tend to get pretty much pissed when you take away their rewards. (the salt-on-wounds-rubbing of adding flying mounts on the store doesn't help Blizzard's position on their Vision? of the game)

"Alchemy is working perfectly".

Yep. What "Dregs" define is: "alliance is not determined prior to campaign" (unlike Faction/God/Guild where your current allegiance immediately gives you allies) and "winner take 100% of vault, loser take 0%" (they might possibly dissociate those two) cards of the rule deck. The rest of the...

What they're saying is that they can design stuff to be +200/+50 or +140/+140 or +75/+180. Notice that, the closer the two values, the higher the total: that's how item formula works (it's actually based on something like the total of all stats x^1.5 is fixed). If you look at wowhead, the...

Wild ass guessing: Let's say that campaigns are tailored for a peak of 1000 simultaneous players. Typical ratio is 5-to-1, i.e. 5 times more players than actual connected players at peak prime time, meaning a campaign is actually 5000 players who have joined. Finally, lets say you have...

Varied from campaign to campaign. We already know Terminator ruleset (no import of anything), there's probably Rusty Weapons ruleset (one weapon only, nothing else), Full Gear ruleset, Materials only, and All you can carry ruleset.

It's not an awful experience. It's a different experience, and most important, one that is NOT for everyone. That's what games have failed to realize. They've tried to make crafting easy, even mandatory at times (WoW, I'm looking at your - defunct - craft boni). Look no further than EVE...

Yup, that's the big question: would you rather have them monetize the EK feudal king stuff, or monetize the campaigns? P2F (Pay 2 Fluff) vs P2W is an easy choice.

I can point to WoW's garrison. A lot of people wanted a lot from those. The result were disappointing, because ultimately, they were too self-contained, devoured your game time for daily chores, and they did not reflect the results of your game play (the monuments pedestal are horribly...

Yup. It lists the starting quest, the achievement lists the end quest. What's important is which of the 6 zones it's in.

You don't. Coming 6.2, the cost of blood in primal spirits drop to 25, plus if you're alchemist, you get enough reagents to get a blood every 2 days. Combined with the fact that in 6.2, all the tiers 1 to 3 use the same 15 blood equals "barn isn't nice, but not mandatory anymore".

The campaigns ARE the meat of the game. The problem with the campaign thing is that you need permanence, and that means something outside of those (i.e. EK).

I don't think there's any pattern/plan in campaign. The campaign gives you relics (i.e. power boosts) and resources (and possibly locally crafted gear if you can Vault those), but nothing else.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Newsto the right side, "today in draenor". Lists all the daily stuff.

I don't think there's anything to spend coins on within a campaign. I wouldn't have been surprised if you could not make coins in a campaign either; you should be forced to transport the raw and bulky ore to the export Vault, whose capacity is probably limited. But they've intimated that players...

Quality doesn't affect the follower's chances, it just opens more abilities. So, no, Harrison doesn't give the follower additional traits. However, a level 90 with ilvl 675 Harrison Jones will count as a max-level 675 follower, AND EARN XP as such. I wish Harrison had been available when I...

It wasn't dynamic content, it was episodic content. The world didn't change in response to player actions, but every month the devs would change stuff. It was as simple as having snow cover crawl down from mountains (and mattekars coming with it) during winter, as surprising as having an entire...

RIOTS!

It depends on your timeframe. Over the long run, running LFR is useless. I had an alt that did a few LFR, with some gear, and who currently has none of that LFR gear anymore. Instead, he sports full garrison stuff, plus one apexis helm. You get regular 645 epics from gear tokens, which sits...

Nice to see that SOE^WDaybreak still can't make an animation or movement looks ok. The movement on that video looks Luclin-model levels of bad.

Stop there. Mythic is about 1% of the people (not raiders, overall people). The fact that Mythic is bad/out of reach/whatever really impacts, like, 100k players total. That would add a whopping 3% to that sub loss assuming every Mythic player stopped playing. (plus, of course, that's Q1. In...

Given how volatile the price of the token seem to be, I doubt there's a huge number of gold tokens exchanged. I mean, we're relatively hardcore around here, and I know I got like 200k gold, which isn't very high compared to some... but I'm probably the second or third richest of my guild. And...

Note that those stores perpetuate the average margins, despite the fact that they no longer have inventories and much in the way of staff to pay. As demonstrated by the recent brouhaha from the Skyrim paid mods on Steam, where the modders discovered that they'd get 25%, Steam 25% and Bethesda...

It's also the easiest and less risky part of the design.

They're control freaks. What else did you expect, a player-made market?

Wasted 4 orders. I was keeping it safe, only converting GR into orders when I was going to hit 10k.

Same here, my harvester druid just built an inscription and alchemy buildings to churn out cards and non-bound catalysts. I could stop the cards though, the market for the trinkets is completely dead, although the catalysts are still useful, if only to make savage bloods on my alchemist.

I first thought that some gaming site I had to register for had managed to bypass its "no spam plz" setting. But no, it was straight from Daybreak. Now, to find how to change those settings on the new outfit...

Without flying, it's going to be a bit better for the competition for nodes, but the zones are going to be heavily camped. Ditto any skinnable beast. Depending on the fishing system (everywhere? only as rares in fishing nodes?) it might be the best way for a few days when 6.2 launches. We'll see.

I guess harvesting professions are finallygood for somethingin WoD. Wouldn't be surprised if it required maxed prof either, or that the chance would depend on your skill level. Happy not having rebuilt that Barn yet either.

Well,thisseems to sell well enough...

You quickly have enough mats to do all your enchants. Unless you level extra fast, by the time you get 100 and start to think about enchanting the 4 items that can still hold enchants, you'll have enough stuff for it. As people said, it's good to make it when you upgrade your garrison to level 2...

People are desperately trying to sell them in bulk in trade channel these days. WarcraftDevs on Twitter: So, no. Basically, 6.2 doesn't use any stockpiled stuff (extra rolls, bloods, followers). It's not like 6.1 where you could raise your followers to 675 to trigger raid missions...

You need your char to have the profession, however. At this point in the expansion, crafts are basically dead. People have their 680 pieces already, and enough BoP materials stockpiled for two if not three 680->715 upgrades (leaving the Fel Blood as the limiting factor). There's a small market...

9 characters, it takes me 17mn total. The wonders of Master Plan pre-set with what I'm looking for (like "xp" to get the GR/gold missions top). The instant one character needs to walk out (like the day after new followers become available) to the closest building (which is the Inn), I take a...

It depends if they want to avoid people upgrading their weapons to 705 and armor to 715 5mn after patch, or not. You need 60 blood to fully upgrade a rank 4 weapon/armor. At similar drop rates with a follower, we're looking at about 150 traps to process in your barn. You need not only to trap...

I still doubt the barn is going to be the only source of felblood. Pretty much forcing everyone to have that one building is not a good thing, and Blizzard knows it. I expect having stuff like an alchemy transmute that takes 50 catalyst+savage blood into felblood, and/or 100 spirit to buy a...

Master Plan's "Interesting Missions" tab is extremely helpful: take any follower that's listed as redundant, and reroll or replace.

An additional bit is that the Timeless Isle-like stuff is on the PTR: there's tokens yielding ilvl 650 gear for every slot plus internal quest trackers for a lot of treasure "chests" and mobs. So we're basically in a setup similar to the end of MoP.
