Gems? That name would confuse the hell out of people. Let's call them something else... relics?

A sandbox MMO: - Modular roles rather than classes, you pick/build/spec a role (tank, heal, etc) with various skills/passives that you collect/gain (skill tree? open skills) Example: You have 500 skills with pre-reqs in terms of stats, other skills, total power. You select a number of skills...

Nope. An Interesting Mob is the ultimate goal. As some dev said once, making a boss that slaughters your raid is trivial (kill healers first, then debuff, then dps, THEN the tank). Making it so that the fight is challenging/interesting is much, much harder. And learning mobs would almost...

Crafting components are at a rock-bottom cost at the AH, thanks to the recycler. At 30 expulsom, the only things that might have been good would be plants, if they bring back reliably Anchor Weed, and even then. The only useful follower equipments seem to be the leatherworking one that gives...

You already do that. You kill the boss in normal. Then you go and kill it on Heroic. Then you go and kill it on Mythic. Most of the time, there's a new mechanic that gets added to deal with.

There's currently two levels in WoW. Max level and non-max level. Max level is when ilvl becomes a factor. Non-max is the rest.

I went one step further back and picked the Night's Dawn trilogy instead. And my first thought was "what? 1996??? That's... prehistoric!" (I even have the books signed, I didn't remember that he came at my usual bookstore then for a signing tour).

Classic isn't there. It's only two vanilla starter zones. Let's KILL HOGGER!!!

This year, the "two faction-locked toys and two faction-locked xmogs" in-game rewards are underwhelming. Since there's no new expansion being discussed, there's no real need to purchase a virtual ticket to have the streams of the panels (the opening ceremony is free). The "two starter zones for...

Automatic server hopping interferes massively with the nodes. It goes like this: Your client is notified that a node is up because you entered the range at which it receives such You are transferred to a different server because you changed subzones and the game decided to mess with you You are...

Well, this time, you don't have a neck, so it's the same (just a different slot).

Statistically, that's true, since you have 3 pieces that don't forge (azerite), and 1/2 that can only warforge (weapons). So you have less titanforges than previously...

Finished, I'd give it 2½ stars out of 5, which is a low bar for Hamilton. ("Salvation", book 1 of new series) The background is a new one, but the first book absolutely suffers from too many timelines. You have a central timeline, a number of flashbacks from that timeline (the participants to...

I wouldn't bet, but I remember a panel from a recent issue in which you had all kind of alternate Cpt. Marvels using... the Reality Infinity Stone to get in touch and coordinate on universal threats. So, altering reality is possible...

Yup. I'm not subbing to the kickstarter full pack because his wrist isn't going to survive the 635 dedicated books he already has; but I'm getting the hardcover...

There's 2 rares that have charms as their loot for being rare (loot on first kill only), and 2 quests that reward it (all alliance side; horde not invited to the party). Plus a couple chests that have some. Outside of that, you have one mission every 5-6 days, and usually 1 WQ a day. You have...

I have an alt that dinged this weekend. His neck was 12. You are telling me you got 7 neck ilvls in 2 days playing casually? jenniferlawrenceokay.gif

But, but, but... there's PET CHARM missions there! If that alone does not justify an entire game mechanic complete with resource farming, I don't know what does!

2 ilvl on your neck per AP level, if I'm not mistaken.

From what they imply, your last power lvl is fixed basically by the ilvl of the item, while your first power is based off your current power level & item ilvl, with the rest linearly inbetween. So the 370 chest would always have a 26 max power, but it might have had a start lower than 17 if...

Flying will require Pathfinder Part II (or maybe even Part III), with 1 or 2 additional reps added in 8.2. And, of course, we'll have the Emerged N'yatotha isle, where our mounts are permanently grounded, to farm in 8.3, so flying will be slightly useful for two months...

You have to do them only once per account. Once the outpost is "populated", it can be used by all your chars. The followup missions for "improvement" are per character though. Some improvements are essential, like the one where I populate the cave with baby dinosaurs to pet. I kid you not...

Got that one as well. Was funny seeing my follower getting 0 XP (because of course he's been maxed since forever).

There's a lot of resources nodes inside other items; a fair number of mobs spawning inside rocks and trees. The Q&A for the world building was low.

The only missions I'm really waiting for are... the pet charm missions. I mean, once you have all factions at revered, you're ok; the exalted rewards are not important enough to warrant pursuing right now as opposed to "wait until it arrives". The gold is meh. The azerite is ok, but not...

In term of speed, I'm not sure you can't get expulsom/hour faster with skinning, crafting leather items, and scrapping those. It's 1 expulsom/6 bracers on average, so 30 leather, 24 bones. That's about 20 stags/wolves/whatever, which take like 10-15mn to kill. WQ are faster, but the items...

At this point, I'm pretty sure Arathi only resets when your side gains control. So horde got a free period of Arathi rares, plus half a week of unconstrained warfront farming. It's funny how everyone was whining about Alliance being advantaged since they got Arathi out of the box when it looks...

I think I spotted the problem.

That's what I was mentioning earlier. They've just realized that, as they were, heroic dungeons were useless, unnecessary, and totally ignorable. So they're trying to make those "slightly" relevant again. Too little, too late, methinks.

Hopefully, it resets when Arathi changes hands, and not just when your side gets Arathi. Otherwise, the whining about Horde getting free Arathi rares and warfront gear vs Alliance just the WB will be... loud. (of course it averages over time... but the outrage will be real at first, and first...

That's what I expected when I saw they wouldn't be dailies...

I hit revered and did a /cheer on random birds and crabs. Go feed, my pretties!!! It's all yours now!

No. Normal AND heroic dungeons are completely pointless; I dinged 120 on saturday, did zero dungeons and am now average ilvl 304. In a week, two maybe, I will probably be sporting an higher ilvl average than heroics. So what's the point of running heroics? None. Zero. You do normal to rush the...

If you were lucky, that is. One of my alts got two 340 belts from Arathi (one drop, one from the quest). That's it. No WB drop, no bonus loot. I suspect this is more in line with what the majority of players will experience; some - a few - will simply get a exceptional shower of loot this week.

Warfronts started in EU, and the queue system broke down. Completely. Spinning wheel to just display just a list of raids, can't join any (they go "cancelled", then when you refresh they're there)... But yea. I was expecting 2 or maybe 3 days tops for the warfront scenario. Not a full week.

I suspect the "gathering speed" will be adjusted for contribution, so that major effort might reduce the wait time to open the warfront scenario from 4 to 3 days, or some such.

Apparently, you can tag the elites only once per warfront. I hope you can tag them again while it's Horde, but I'm not holding my breath...

Random is random. Of course they're going to make you farm it over time. If you got everything on first drop, it would be empty next week.

Apparently. The prices at the AH will explode. However, check before making/buying: each tradeskill quest can ask for one of 3 different items on any given reset (sometimes raw resources, sometimes crafted items): Launching a Warfront Through Contributions

They can, got 345 WF boots. Meh, but still.
