    The rares in Arathi are once per day, not once per Warfront, right?

    Welp? I was going "why hasn't amazon notified me it's on my kindle library", but it turns out my ebook will be landing on thursday, because it's the english Pan version, not the US Del Rey one...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I have full 30 slots, and 3 1/2 of them are perma-full. Between various clickys, archeology tokens, 8 different fishes, 4 (or 5?) different meats, 7 herbs, a set of gear for my alt spec, etc, etc... the only spot for looting stuff is my backpack and 1st bag...

    Nope, they only give a small azerite cluster (40ish AP).

    Yea. The other translations from russian he did have had... varying quality. (the last of the Weirdest Noob trilogy was an horror)

    Ok, so Darkmoon faire wasn't changed; the +5 skill quests apply only to vanilla skills, which means they're useless for anything except Archeology. Well, one more piece of content that's no longer used...

    I still have plenty of rep mission popping on the class hall... (at least one a day)

    What did you just read?

    I'm reaching 115 out of 125 for my 2018 reading challenge on Goodreads (going to break last year's record by a large margin) so there should be stuff to read. I've finished the Destiny's Crucible series; it's a good break point at book 4 or 5; the initial plot is wrapped up and everyone's...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Technically, those are cultures, not civilizations. The root of the word is based on the concept of cities (and citizens), so you don't have a civilization until you have a settled permanent "state". Indians are basically Siberians cousins. They're descended from a basal population that was...

    Seen those flight points that appear when you cross the continent, but don't have a wing icon on the zone map? Those are outposts. When you unlock them, you can claim them and then you have a new flight point plus shit. Haven't done that, but in theory, if you unlock WQ with one character, all...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can't. Any harder, and you would need an addon to complete. The reason the game works is that your brain can keep track of 6-8 things, and then, any new input ends up making you forget the original ones. That's why the match-up is 8 pairs. Any more pairs, and it degenerates into a game of...

    The gold coins aren't on the mounds with the signs. They're the sparkle spots around the mound. If you use the magnet on a spot rather than the mound, you get 4-7 coins.

    I'm pretty sure it's like all those movies and series where removing the bit sticking from you is a terrible idea because it's the only thing stopping you from bleeding to death. Last time we had an open bleeding wound on Azeroth, we had a Sundering of continents... (please ignore all those...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    I don't really remember the Endymion books, it's been soooo long. I do remember slogging thru them, far more than Hyperion. Ilium was good, Olympos less so. If you liked Hyperion, odds are you're going to like Ilium (I loved the climactic end). A number of readers at the time thought that Ilium...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So I was wondering (after running my 6th alt thru the intro in Silithus)... Exactly who are those ChampionS of Azeroth I'm factioning with? Because Magni keeps telling me I AM her Champion. So, am I factioning with the other players? Are they supposed to be nicer to me in dungeons once I reach...

    Yea. My guildmistress was absolutely sure that the mythic version was actual horde pvp. I kept telling her "no, no. It's 3 normal vs AI. PvP is a completely separate version!" "No Way!" "Yes. It's AI, not players. Players would be more stupid!"

    Yea, until the raid releases, the WQ cap at 320 I think (325 for azerite armor).

    Possibly in BFA after the squishy thing. Because I remember having a titanforged stuff that was like 6% under my current non-titanforged one (and that's with simcrafted weights, non basic Pawn ones).

    Was an offhand for me. Which is funny because the icon for the WQ is a sword. :)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    if you have done 30 mythic dungeons, then your ilvl is almost certainly at a point where TWO whole normal-raid ilvl items are not going to change much in your performance... and if you've done it before raiding unlocks, you're almost certainly in a guild where you're going to go heroic that week...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's raid prep gear for ServerFirst guilds. For everyone else, it's a requirement to be finally allowed to craft the heroic-level gear with sanguinicells, which is the requirement to be allowed to craft the real gear (mythic ilvl) you really want. Me, I'm running 30 mythic, and not one more...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It makes TWO pieces of gear total, which are equivalent in ilvl to a normal raid drop, AND whose crafting IS required to make use of the crafting material raid drops. Plus, of course, it's RANDOM STATS MAN. You will barely be able to craft your two pieces before the raiding begins, and they're...

    Everquest Mysteries

    This caused untold drama in Tide (Tunare, EU guild). We did use DKP. We did not account for DKP per character. An enchanter that was playing his monk alt decided to blow his DKP on one of the best monk weapons at the time, to the... dismay of the two monk mains.

    Fuck, forgot that one. I haven't been interested in those since "hey, it's just some azerite and rep and you get it doing other things anyway".

    Yea, but seals are only going in starting with raids on Sep 4/5 (depending on region). So no seal for this week, nor next week kills.

    That does not happen anymore, since you're ALL on personal loot. No others options allowed.

    I think someone had datamined the login screen for the fox race during beta. There's a number of races that players can "use as disguise", but only the playable ones have a login screen associated. So yep, the Vulpera are known to be a future playable race.

    Yea, the beginning sounds ok, then it goes full-on LARP with neutral mode, prestige classes, and whatnot... I'm pretty sure making people neutral would break half of their code...

    Yes, most of Europe is on the same timezone as Paris. They could call it Berlin time, or even Warsaw time... but Blizzard has offices near Paris (and not Berlin), so there.
