Production pipeline problems. Their main problem is that they insist(ed?) on having a single unified team for everything WoW. The same team is simultaneously juggling patching current WoW, producing the next tier of raids/dungeons/storyline, producing the next expansion, and pre-producing the...

There's already panels about the Warcraft movie. And they wouldn't hide it anyway, it's official and all that.

Speculation is now going rampant about The Eye of Azshara trademark just filed as usual with the smallest lead time for leaks before official announce. While a lot of people associate it with Hearthstone and the goblin theme already teased for their expansion, there's of course some that...

WowHead has one for all tastes I disagree on the Inn being necessary (besides the fact that you only have 2 medium plots). You get every type of encounter counters as followers in quests and clicky objects. Does the Storehouse provide really additional apexis? I thought it didn't had any...

I stand corrected, I'm still confused with old improvements during 5.0/5.1 which I remember being +5 ilvl/improve . So basically, it's Spires of Arak material. Outdoor zones quests ilvl: 1st zone: 512-517 Gorgorond: 522-531 (LFR) Talador: 545-560 (Normal/Improved LFR/heroic/Improved...

Mythic is ilvl 566, plus 20 if you upgrade it to 586. 586 is the ilvl of Spires of Arak quest drops. So improved Mythic should last you until the last zone/level 96+ dungeons. (if you are lucky with a Warforged drop, you get to outlast all outdoor content, except the handful of last quests...

The fact that Tuesday isVeteran's Dayis probably a factor in that decision.

This is funny because I remember exactly the opposite. By the time GoD rolled on us, I was in a relatively casual guild, doing dungeons, slightly older raids, and whatnot. And we were barely affected by GoD. In fact, GoD basically was a golden opportunity for us to get some levels (half of what...

Original XP for Pandaria: 85-86 -> 8.5m XP 86-87 -> 10m XP 87-88 -> 12.5M 88-89 -> 15.25m XP 89-90 -> 18.37m XP Current: 520 to 570k xp per level.

Just a minor nitpick: in EQ, raiding population was a minor part of the player population. You had about 30 servers for 550k subs, average 18k players per server, and for each server three or four guilds raiding at the current expansion level, with maybe a dozen guilds doing some regular raiding...

Counterpoint: EVE Online launched in 2003. It has grown in subs at a regular rate for 10 years+ now. People unsub and resub all the time, even 5 years later. People don't get magically tired after 5 years. People will get tired after 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 8 years, 10 years of playing...

And sometimes stupid. I remember someone in EC asking for a port to South Ro. For like 20mn, by which people were saying him "you know, if you just ran there, you'd have arrived a long time ago".

That was essentially what MMOs were before Ultima Online. UO is when the transition went from pay-by-hour to subscription. And now, we're transitioning to a mostly freemium/F2P cash shop model. (about every MMO who attempts subscription ends up transitioning. Save the elephant)

But if that's available, then his friends will yell at him for taking 30mn to come to the dungeon where they're all waiting for his Ogre Warrior ass (well scratched). You use a TP not because you want to travel to point A, but because you have something to do at point A. If the goal is...

Yup. My point wasn't that WoW was good, it was that, once a valid alternative was available, the vast majority left and never came back. EQ went from 500k subs at end of 2004 to 200k subs at end of 2005. With an installed base (which is always resistant to change). Try to launch a game...

How is that different from the "you need to get to the fly path and enable the gryphon master"? Except for the boring flight over a landscape you've already seen dozen times.

What did you expect from guys whose purpose is to be there to kill their queen "just in case"? Eternal gratitude? They worship you. And they kill you the instant you need killing. The Garrison looks like a good iteration on it. You manage it, you're not expected to act as a peon for a bunch of...

It's not for me, but I have the useful genetic variant that makes me immune to acidity in sweat. Meaning that, for me, body odor is... just an odor. Barely noticeable. For years, I couldn't understand why my mother was mad as hell every time she came into my room, or insisted to open wide...

The only thing worth watching will be the red shirt man, as usual.

Probably because there's no real market for an EQ remake. I mean, he described EQ1, and then said ... because I ran out of cool new ideas. We're having this discussion here and now, probably twice a year. Someone comes, laments "oh, why isn't EQ1 remadeproperly", Dumar usually pops to assent...

I think that's the whole point. I don't think there's going to be one ounce of originality here. When we saw the looting of the phat lewt, meaning that mob where pre-generated with their loot - that's straight EQ1. The whole point of Pantheon is redoing EQ1 with a different lore and setting...

Two thirds of my guild who unsubbed during MoP are coming back. Now, they might not stay for two years, but there's a sizeable contingent coming to try it and see the new story and how the new raid system works.

The problem so far (beyond the amateur hour Unity stuff) is that we don't have the slightest idea of what kind of game we could get (in an ideal world) from Pantheon. Beyond a game with fiery avengers in the hand of rangers and purple mushrooms. And it's been a couple months since I've...

To strange places. Weird places. Places where man was never meant to go.

Looks like loot is added at NPC gen (which uses the same gen as the PC for now).

You can probably expect another squish every one or two expansions from now on.

Anyone who's read the e-short stories on EQNext knows that. They embody the "old empire in its full decadence" concept.

World of Bloodbowl.

I might be watching the opening ceremony (which should be free like the previous years), but since there's nothing in view (Titan is dead, maybe SC2 Void expansion)... Would be funny though if they said "By the way, WoD is going to last only a year, here's the preview of the next WoW...

Yep, and that's nothing to do with actually levelling Archaeology and everything with the tiny random chance of actually getting those projects. You'll be 600 well before you see any of those. If you do... don't ever play lottery, you've exhausted your lifetime chance storage.

Yup, same here. I got booted to screen two or three times, and there's times where quest don't seem to update, then 15-20s later, they do.

Yep. Example:Hexweave Leggingsare BOE, and so are theHexweave EssenceandGreater Hexweave Essenceto upgrade them.Hexweave Embroiderylet's you reroll the random stat picked for secondary bonus. So once you've crafted it, you can equip straight away, and wait until you have enough to craft the...

The big difference between your own and not your own tradeskill building is that you don't absolutely need the building at level 3 to make epics. Also, you can only craft the starter ilvl 640 epics; you can't make the upgrades to ilvl 665, and you'll have to purchase those on the AH. And that...

Karana was the so-called "french" server. Tunare had a sizeable general euro component, plus the inevitable Asians. (Tunarean here, old man of Tide, the main euro-guild. I still remember the rivalries with Talisman and Stars)

I presume at least half the playing population has yet to hear about the stat squish.

5 weeks. Since you haven't played since LK, you might want to come back a week or so before launch so that you can explore a bit Cata and Pandaria. Depending on how hardcore you play, I'd count 30h of /played per char for 80-90 (profession leveling not included). And you have one free bump to...

Well, that part can be done without managing the Garrison. Go garrison, accept daily, get apexis. (unless I've missed some work orders to get more daily apexis?)

Basically, your two large buildings should be the Barracks and the Bunker/War Mill, your two medium must be the Inn and Barn, and two out of your three smalls must be Salvage Yard and Storehouse (with a choice of the last to be for one of your main or an alt profession). You can sacrifice...

Justice Divine. (just swap the two words for the english translation) Not the best liked guild among the french, but it managed sometimes to get stuff done. The friend who brought me back my box from the US had a first month bill when he came back in France of over half of his monthly...

Tell that to the old-style champion trains. Ah, so it's loot, but not loot you're interested in (but apparently, plenty of people are looking for champion bags). Hence my mention "GW2... with end-game".
