No worries, killed it in one reset

So far the only information is that they are progression servers with one "ultra-casual" and one "hardcore." I'd be thrilled to get a server with a quirky, unique ruleset but I honestly don't expect much with either of them. No AoC + open world PvP (simple, easy to implement, fits the theme...

I guess they hotfixed Jaina's tide elemental to not be vulnerable to interrupts. From watching their streams this evening I think that is still how things are. They had a 9.9% run with it in place at the very end of the night.

My pitch - Each guild is treated as its own faction with everyone not in a guild also being their own collective faction. Anyone on your team you are PvE towards and everyone else is FFA. You can purge the unwashed masses in a guild while also fighting other guilds for supremacy or you can be...

Kids today just don't listen, always trying to reinvent the wheel

It looks like they're doing more splits. I wonder if their conclusion was that 405ish wasn't a high enough average of if they are loot funneling to restoration druids.

I don't hate (in principle) the idea of the last boss at mythic difficulty being tuned such that they go unkilled for a long time. Method and Limit are both item level 405 or so, Jaina is tuned hard at 415 and that's just how it is. No one is making you throw your face in the blender for sixteen...

So is Blizzard balancing week one around the assumption that the top shelf is going to scour every auction house for 425s, super mega split every raid at every difficulty on six characters to pool currency to get as many people as possible multiple max item level Azerite armors while also just...

They dropped it right away today at least. A night's rest was all they were missing.

Decklists These are the decks from the events that Star City Games runs. These are physical events so keep that in mind but SCG runs big events and they run them well. edit - start with Caleb Sherer's list, that skinny tweaker plays good magic

They were on that boss for like 13 hours yesterday. Towards the end of the raid (in which they didn't kill him) a mini-revolt was brewing.

Some of the people in guilds going for world first bought tokens.

I don't know much but I did hear they faction changed their entire guild and then changed back to do the 400 item level weekly two times versus everyone else's one. It looks like all the guilds on contention have spent impossibly large amounts of gold on 425 BoEs so I can't finger pointing...

I don't have any objection to some new progression servers allowing full boxing as a feature and think it would be a good idea for one of the new servers to have it but after Ragefire and Lockjaw I'm not interested in that ever being the default for these servers ever again. Unbridled boxing...

IS THAT AMBROSIA DANIELS IN THE IMPACT ZONE edit - fuck, is TNA even a thing still?

With the time remaining they've given themselves the ability to scoop any decent, easy to implement ideas people suggest for either the "ultra-casual" server or the "hardcore" server. Changing Trakanon's Tooth to also function as a VP key would be easy and fit the theme. I'm not saying it's what...

I have now convinced myself that "ultra-casual" will mean in part minimal to zero key/flagging requirements.

As they are account bound the krono market is a (sorta) developed economy and is in place minute one on a fresh server. Lots of people have lots of them and are and willing to exchange them for all manner of currency and items, especially early on. Locking down a huge chunk of Lower Guk and...

My hunch is that one of the servers will have full boxing and it will be the ultra-casual server that does. Lockjaw and Ragefire early on both had crazy populations and while the later progression servers have been successful none of them have had week one Ragefire oh fuck let's launch another...

I can't tell when Ion is saying something that is true or when he is saying something that sounds reasonable but isn't really true. Were you really concerned about split-raiding and it's effects on the highest levels of play (and how it excludes almost the entire play base from even entertaining...

I watched MethodJosh during the Ghuun race and picked back on his stream now in anticipation for the new raid tier and the amount of prep that people are doing is ridiculous. He's done Normal/Heroic/Mythic Uldir and Normal/Heroic BfD each on like seven different characters. Full cloth...

I'm positive one of the major reasons given for forced personal loot was to reduce emphasis on world first guilds running split raids. Method, in preparation for mythic, has been doing and is doing tons and tons and tons of split raids. Specifically they are doing runs by armor type to funnel...

I don't know how it works now but with the old system the weekly Mythic+ chest and emissary armor caches could both spit out the higher level versions of Azerite armor otherwise only available from world bosses or world quests.

It's what I think we all want - a solid set of rules with a big pile of people playing. It's the other people that make these servers enjoyable both villains and heroes alike.

I know part of the reason it is so memorable (and why the memories are so positive) is because it was so incredibly short but man I'd like another crack at that.

Just need Sullon Zek + Firiona Vie rules mashed together, really set things up to bring out the worst in everyone. Also PvP stats should be kept, displayed on their official site, and prizes given out each month.

I think that happened later.

edit - I sorta like this one more

As soon as I made it to 120 I got my welfare 400 and it was some Azerite shoulders. The next layer unlocks at neck level 32. My neck was at 12. I think the last unlock is 40 something? 44? Even with the week to week adjustments that's one big bucket of nope.

I finished up an Alliance character to see their side of the story. Any remaining good will I had towards the game has evaporated. Everything is a chore in disguise. I will say that the leveling was pretty good. I'd like to see them rework the level scaling so you could choose to do an entire...

You haven't optimized. You do a little classic, stab Trak, get your epic, disappear, do some Velious, disappear, do some PoP, etc.

I was commenting more on the Q&A answer that the delay was due to thematic reasons but yeah. Their official line doesn't make sense so it probably isn't true or is only partially true. Maybe there was some kind of delay planned for story reasons at one point but the more truer answer would have...

In terms of narrative the conclusion of the Ghuun narrative where you and Talanji present to the people of Zandalar the knife bloodied on Ghuun's corpse is when they should have joined the Horde. I was positive going though that little cut scene that the troll unlock would happen soon after...

No one is asking for permadeath. Discord was a gimmick short duration server and not indicative of anything.

As a list of things that they could do that would fit the theme - 1. Remove augment merchants 2. Reinstate corpse runs 3. Disable the map 4. No /pick zones 5. No instancing 6. No focus effects 7. Remove any remaining out of era tradeskill combines Nothing too crazy. Right now my biggest...

My hunch is that the ultra casual server is also the boxing server.

I hope that "hardcore" does not imply a miserable experience rate and instead means something closer to no boxing, no instancing, no pick zones, old school corpse retrieval, no map, etc. Just strip out a bunch of features and let the wolves set upon each other. For the people not interested in...
