I have 9 alts (in addition to the main, who doesn't need apexis gear), so it's a lot slower. But if you're running only one char, you should get geared insanely fast. The only reason to run LFR is if you don't have time to do the dailies and play only during weekends (and, of course, for your 3...

It won't. They already said you'd loot (and probably craft and quest) "relics" that you slot in the weapon, which means it's basically similar to jewelcrafting, and you've got 3 different "color" with 4 slots for your ilvl (blue) /main stat (red) /1st secondary/2nd secondary (yellows). The only...

Gamescom is also bigger than E3 because it is open to the public; you don't need to pretend to have a game blog to get admittance. As a result, you have E3 with 40k people during the entire trade show, and Gamescom with 120k visitorsper day. While PAX doesn't release their numbers anymore...

They said she's "pissed off", so I guess it's more of a political overthrow rather than a coup. I don't remember her having an artefact-type weapon, so she's safe from our greedy hands. Unlike two notable characters whose weapons would probably only pried from their cold dead hands... and which...

Sturgeon's Law: AT least 90% of everything is shit.

I think, from what we know, that you've got two parallel mechanics for Artefact weapons. You have lootable upgrades (gems on steroids) which determine your ilvl and stats, and you can use those on different weapons. Like, there's a ilvl 805 INT drop, I can roll on that and slot that in my Holy...

Why do you think Wrathion was showing us that fel meteor scene? People expected it to be for the 6.x series, but, given Blizzard's production pipeline, it was for this instead. We haven't talked much about him, but my guess is that he'll be back on the scene (or rather, behind) for this...

More like the WoD pre-launch patch, where you got this questline with all those orcs coming out of the Dark Red Portal. How else are you going to level your Artefact weapon? We get Vrykuls and Val'kyrs already...

Beta later this year...

"That was a good amount of raid and we're happy about it"

Plus Vrykuls, and Queen Azshara...

The Legion... featuring the south seas

A lot of local games are like that. The cybercafes have a global license, if you play your personal account for those licensed games from the cafe, you don't have to pay. An unlicensed cafe won't even have the game installed, and there's a tiny minority of personal subs. But yea, for WoW...

That's pretty much the only definition of success that THIS guy acknowledges:

Too complicated. Why involve another planet, AND then put everything, including Old Gods (which are pretty much an Azeroth-only problem) there? You keep on the alternate timeline of WoD, and we go check on alt-Azeroth then. That allow full scale rewrite, with possibly the return of LK. Because...

It's a damned if you, damned if you don't. If there is absolutely no time gating, then you will have a fringe of people who are going to get their legendary ring within 2 days, then come and loudly complain that "there's nothing else to do!", creating a false impression. Despite having stuff to...

As long as we get trispec capacity. Because fuck having 2 specs max if you're a druid.

The only bit that's coming out of Draenor is going to be alt-Gul'dan. 80% chance we're going to see him as a Legion toady again, 20% he's "kept for later" in the fall 2016 expansion. The next iteration on Garrison idea would be Guild Halls. But they still haven't figured out what they'd do with...

Anyone can write text for a MUD, which meant making your MUD for free (except your own time). Making art for a MMO is a couple orders of magnitude harder. Even if you're only using isometric stuff and not full 3D. Neverwinter was close to the dream of a MMO toolkit... save for not having...

If you didn't read the novel,War Crimes, yup, you missed the whole stuff and only got a glimpse of that in a couple of Nagrand quests. I know they say they use various media to tell their stories, but in this case, you completely miss everything if you don't go outside of the game itself. Which...

I did a check on INPI (French IP office), but their front base is only updated during Friday. Anything registered in the afternoon or after wouldn't show until end of week. But no Council of Glades registered by Blizzard EU yet. Also missing in the "hoax" reasons is that the IP number...

If that's a real TM registration, it points to a reveal at Gamescom...

Any class that would tank in a visually awesome, but not too complex playwise, would be a boon, because we don't get tanks in queue. You'd think that with 4 classes that tank, people would play a bit more tanks. But no. People still think tanking is boring or slightly more difficult to play than...

They're basically heroic dungeons, tuned for a minimum ilvl 660+ players. You don't have timers or capped gear, but you've got hard patrols everywhere and you definitively don't overgear the bosses.

The real flag for an announce comes just before, when they register the trademark before anyone can nip it from them, but late enough that it doesn't spoil the announce too much. Sometimes, you get confused (The Dark Below), but if there's an announce, we'll know it because it's the Internet...

Given that the only thing that really matter on gear is ilvl, my suggestion would be: - If you get it outdoor, it's green quality. Doesn't matter if it is quested, rare dropped, token purchased (except for dungeon/raid tokens gear), follower brought. Solo is green. - If you get it in a...

That's mostly why they don't bother too much with dungeons anymore. Dungeons become irrelevant/useless too fast to warrant lots of work. Of course, it was even worse with the garrison. Most of my alts were 660+ when 6.2 launched, despite never having set foot in a dungeon or even LFR. Even my...

Yup. Don't remember any leaks until the trademark registration.

That's the bit that proves fakery.

Just finished a book on Elon "I'm going to Mars" Musk, and the biographer says that the only reason Space X works is because he has an assistant that manages to prevent people from actually going into his office to talk to him.

Ah, yes, the hellfire missions seem to have repopped... didn't really notice.

Specific alt challenge is "get all your followers of your own race". Which is tricky - try getting all of your 25 Worgen followers, and keep your treasure hunting maxed. (At least it's possible for worgen: there's only 15 total pandaren followers available for alliance)

I've been trying the "alt strat". Throw your ships at any 90%+ icon, don't bother managing equipment. If no 90% (besides training), pick highest available mission. Go. Fucker is 8 treasure missions behind my main who optimize every fight and is now at 4500 GR (said alt is spending GR at the...

No idea why, but the PS4 version popped yesterday in my Amazon recommendations. Which is kind of weird (given that I've never ever purchased anything PS3 or PS4-related on Amazon)

That's weird. Because once I reached level 2, I took the quest from Khadgar and the first mission popped up 24h later. All missions seem to pop 24 or 36h after the end of the previous one. And no, you don't need to sea to be clear, my 3rd or 4th mission (the one in the SW) popped while the...

I have my flying achieve, I want to use my flying fucking mount!

Apparently, the team "couldn't make the story click". Meaning someone thought he couldn't stomach Grommash being bad. Or that, once they wrote the legendary cinematic for 6.1, no one thought an involuntary corrupted Grommash would work, and they didn't had time to fix the legendary cinematic...

With things that have fungible infinite amount of "xp" you can afford a refund mechanic that gives you back 90 or 80 or maybe less skill pts when you drop the skill. Something you can't do with discrete skill points. But a respec assume a skill ceiling, i.e. a maximum total amount of skills...

Fun 6.2 fact of the day: Take the weekend bonus quest "do 5 apexis bonus areas" from Seer, notice the quest says 5/5 complete but the "?" is still grey, interact with another NPC, receive a completion message, turn in, weekend over.

There is a quest chain associated. It's just that you get 3 or 4 quests unlocked every week, over 4 weeks.
