In Legion I started out feeling sluggish and somewhat meh but after unlocking the various abilities on the AP track I progressively fell into a solid rhythm. Once set bonuses came into play there was a distinct specialized flavor to the class and I felt genuinely powerful. So far in BfA I...

Weather channel has really upped their AR game. The floating car is an especially nice touch.

It is interesting, at least to me, to see these post mortems as they often show what a complete fucking mess game development really is. It is clear that these entities lack fundamental systems engineering, but that seems typical of most entities that rise up from a completely Agile environment.

Which is odd since, at one point anyway, the mission / follower system was meant to be a core part of a mobile-based full fledged companion game that went much further than the older mobile app. Perhaps they got scared by all the loot crate microtransactions = gambling stuff?

Missions -- Magister Umbric seems to be the MVP of the whole Mission Table stuff with his 50% reduction in mission time passive buff. Kelsey Steelspark I only use because she's the only person who can counter the pink crystal whatever thing and John J Keeshan is my go-to combat guy. The other...

Even if they suddenly realized that Warfronts were allowing people to gear up that way instead of with Heroic Dungeons (as opposed to making that realization within 2 mins of looking at said design document) they should have had the wisdom to go "you know... we better not make any substantial...

Thought I'd pop on for some quick shooting of people in the face... Instead I'm fighting the 'copying update file' boss. So freaking annoying how inefficient the Sony OS is when it comes to bytepatches.

Well I keep collecting all the pieces because I'm never quite sure what is or isn't an actual upgrade.

Quest from a Tortollan to do 4 mythic dungeons for a 'cache of uldir treasures' labelled heroic.

The concept of Kes's character was very intriguing. With a 7 year lifespan it was set up perfectly for the audience to see a character move through all the various stages of life over the course of the series. The actual writers, however, never figured out what the hell they wanted to do...

I'm actually questioning this. Certainly doing islands to get the weekly boost is a good thing, but after finishing that it seems to have a lower AP / unit time than grinding through any WQs that offer an Azerite reward. I think it may be that these are only the best way if you have nothing...

I've been playing as Arcane for the last several expansions and have been having a solid time in BfA so far, especially in AE situations given the Azerite ability for an AE execute <35%. I should give Frost a whirl and see how it feels, though I've often felt the rhythm of Frost a bit off...

Well this does nicely explain why they waited a few weeks to open the Warfronts. I'm still enjoying BFA, for now at least, although I want to punch Scrollsage Nola in the face.

Ahhh... so running Mythic-0 was just a total waste of time and I should have just AFK'd through Warfronts in a couple weeks? Nice.

So can you do the Warfront itself more than once after its been unlocked? I've seen things that suggest its a one-and-done for each time its open but then others talk about farming it for 340s...

Well the plotline actually made sense, so thats a plus. Mind you it didn't really move the dial forward on the overarching plot but it does serve as a nice side excursion. I suppose having the darkness manifest itself in the form of the beholder thingy did move the needle forward a bit, but we...

Anyone try this out? It seems like your usual Diablo-like game but with a bit of a twist in having multiple 'forms' and existing in two dimensions somewhat like Shadow of Mordor.

Horde still only at 58% donated....they some lazy mofos for sure! (I do kinda wonder if they don't just arbitrarily make it seem like progress is being made when in fact its 90% fixed time)

They had great art direction and animation for the various characters and beasties. I really liked some of the ground targeting stuff, but yeah it was seriously overturned to be hardcore when there weren't enough paying customers to do such a thing. I had hopes that it would get revitalized to...

Well she IS a big main weapon...

I'm also a bit fuzzy on what it means for a faction to be in control. What benefits do you get for controlling the zone versus gathering materials to kick off the warfront? I ask because I was surprised to find Horde beating up on the rares when I was cruising around last night.

We have Dice Forge and its actually been pretty fun. While the 'change the face of the die' seems like a cheap gimmick at first you quickly realize that its all about resource management with a healthy level of RNG thrown in via the dice themselves. Doesn't take too long to play and serves as...

You can be forgiven for not knowing who the fuck they are... they were a 90s thing and imminently forgettable.

Okay I purchased this... you all better not have led me astray!!

I had only tagged ~7 of the rares on Tuesday and went back yesterday to do grit-laps around the zone to ferret all the others out. In the few I hit up Tuesday I had gotten 3 pieces of armor which was likely just RNG. I did eventually end up with another piece of armor and a cute pet yesterday...

They nerf the Arathi drops? I just was flying around trying to grab all the elites I missed yesterday and in the process I've gotten nothing but tiny shards whereas yesterday I had lots of 340 loot and such.

DPS: pasty-faced generic white dude. Tank: Jacked tall guy with abs for days. Healer: any female.

I never really did m+ in Legion because of not wanting to go through the hassle of trying to PUG it. I wonder how many other people maxed out at Mythic-0?

I was just pondering that it would be a bit silly to have 'catch up' 340 gear dropping when lots of people have still not even done a single Mythic-0

What ilevel items are people getting from the Arathi rares? Do they scale just as the WQ rewards do?

Asmongold seems to have weird eyes and a face that just isn't quite right...

Anyone playing this? Is it worth it at all?

I do not envy the poor database grunts who have to wrestle with that mess

The amusement park that is Arathi was good to me. Got a couple solid upgrades out of it plus the zone looks quite cool. I wonder how many places will get a similar remodel.

Nearly all my active Missions are for a rep I have maxed... Well I guess that's one way to save on war resources.

It does help that the character has a lot of established history and solid material to draw from in terms of characterization. I do agree, however, that it reeks of "why has she been back there all this time??" and it will be interesting to see how they explain her absence until nlw.

Do Warfronts launch this week? I'm still a bit puzzled about them especially the actual launch itself. They said Arathi Highlands starts in the hands of the Alliance and the Horde begin gathering materials etc. to prep for the attack. Does this mean the bosses and such will be active for...

They have done a terrible job of communicating what does and does not stack with respect to the Azerite powers. This on top of what seems to be a likely plethora of different outfits necessary for different situations (single vs AE vs movement vs defense)

After several Mythic runs of seeing fuck-all I actually got two upgrades and a BoE with a socket in Tol Dagor this AM. Rocking 345 ilevel which is pretty damn good for a filthy casual hah.

Yeah the champion equipment, which was pretty solid in Legion, seems a an afterthought here. Not to mention all the other issues with the tradekskills. I love how they gave tailoring bandages as a way to give us a consumable commodity, yet not a freaking soul uses them so it's pointless.
