Hopefully. There is at least one token who has a 25g merchant price indicated, but every merchant gives a "The merchant does not want that item" message. Can't use the icon to recognise it; there are other tokens that share the same icon and sell normally.

Which reminds me: what are they replacing artefact tokens with in class hall missions? Since AP is gone in 8.0 those missions which make more than half of what you have (while you're unlocking the hall with an alt) must be replaced...

Because it costs a lot of manpower to balance. Most of the older content, they don't care about balancing, so as long as that timewalking raid works, go for it. But content that's supposed to be a challenge "should" not be trivialized, so you need to make sure it does not. And that's a bit more...

Don't WQ give you 250 guild rep each? I think they do. That makes exalted very fast to get. Making a low level fresh alt to grind leveling quests would probably be slower...

Since I play mostly in guild, there's no real need to rush thru content and then wait for the rest of them to level up. But, coincidentally, I have 3 weeks (filthy euro, I know) of vacations coming up for the last 3 weeks of august. Funny how things work out.

Just in time, xkcd weights in:

The "dark side" is anything but dark. The far side of the moon gets exactly the same day/night extremes of temperatures as the near side, so the only thing you gain is that there's not that ball in the sky that's lighted most of the time (but, given that there no atmosphere, it simply blocks...

Space telescopes is a kind of weird optimization. They take advantage of being in vacuum (less optical distortions), but can't be manned (vibrations destroy the distortion advantage). So they end up as autonomous units, and that means we have to launch them. So a space telescope is a one-shot...

If the xmog had been at least useable by "similar" races (like the VE racial being useable by night elf/blood elf), it might have been interesting. As it is, the bonus is limited to those who want full account-wide ATT completion percentage...

Nope. It's just delay upon delay upon delay. 4 years ago, most scientists were already grumbling that this piece of (censored) was going to cost waaaaay too much for the science they might get from it. They were wrong. It's worse now.

ATT requires you to be top PVP rank, top raiding rank, and 18/24 OCD farmer in between on all classes (since you need to complete every xmog on every classes, meaning you need elite gladiator rank on all of them). I have no idea how high the % is for the top collectors. Anything above 90% is...

Yep. If you're only playing a druid, you instashift when moving between mediums. Otherwise, there's two water strider mounts (a red one and a blue one), and I don't really remember which is easier to get (because I got both years ago, ofc).

But they did. If you read the entire post announcing the 1.12, they even explain that the original code crashes a lot on new video cards. Which meant they had to decide between trying to fix the old code, or running the game on the new codebase (which is the way they're going). But... the new...

Back in the day, I was shooting the "It's over NINE THOUSAND" achieve. But I always drew the line at the Insane achieve (which one guy in the guild had. Still has. I know no one else)

ALL THE THINGS is pushing all my buttons. I even realized that I never did get all 4 falcosaur pets, let alone the quest lines (which are further complicated by the fact that one character can only accept one falcosaur quest per day). Plus the missing 2017 toys for the current world event, the...

They did prototyping. A full-on classic codebase, which crashes heavily in a Win10-64bit format vs a modern codebase that uses old data. Both of which took time to test.

As one dev (whose name escapes me at this time) famously said, you don't need AI. Just script the boss to go for the healer first and ignore everything else would be enough to turn every encounter into a nightmare.

Yea. And they still haven't fixed the fact that WB quests are added to the quest listing, which means your raid group gets auto delisted at 5, no matter what you want.

The achievement tracks the character with the highest usable count, not what the current character has. I think.

Thing is, for everyone who liked it a lot, there's one who hated that stuff. Anecdotal evidence: the mother of a former guildmate lives for tradeskills. She's got a stable of characters for every tradeskill and enjoy primarily farming, crafting, selling. She hates dungeons. She has not...

The thing is, amazon routinely does A/B testing (different presentations, to see what sticks) so links will behave slightly differently based on IP, hours, browser, and a dozen different variables. I always set the link title by hand rather than let the forum pick it from the linked page when I...

I'm still revered with one, and hated with the other. Something that's impossible in modern WoW (the quest status override your faction).

Plane of Fear CR are the stuff of legend. Since PoF didn't drop any Cleric armor (it was all in PoH), you almost never saw a cleric on a PoF raid. I went once "for reasons", and so we broke the zone as usual, then when things were stable... ... I ended up the only cleric with a 50+ raid with...

If you are leveling, and there's an invasion going on, you can do the WQ, despite not being 110. Those WQ yield something like 3 or 4 times the XP of a normal quest, and the ones who would give you gear give you +XP instead. With flying, you get a level per invasion in 15mn...

The "big hook" of this is supposed to be the island expeditions with their randomized setup and the "smart" NPCs you're against. That's the really new content. The Warfronts aren't very interactive, since they're Opening of AQ lite/Nether Disruptor redux (you trade in stuff to get additional...

Yep. Each invasion is about 1 level or better (depending on how many WQ have +XP rewards). The only reason I was trying to boost was to skip the whole class hall campaign stuff (I already did the intro, the DH has been sitting on its ass on Krasus Landing for a year and a half).

Just discovered that you can't use your 110 token on DH. Anybody else (including of course allied races), that's ok. But not DH. (the only reason I wanted to raise the DH to 110 is that I got a legendary token for DH...)

Naxx is 1.11, so it should be hovering above the plaguelands at launch...

... and bandage collection will be there!

Legion is full of junk. At the moment, I have 4 max size bags, and my free inventory is usually 20-24 slots for looting. Between various consumables, harvestables, half a bag of alternate specs, situational Sephuz, etc... I need to unload every 20mn or rely on the postmaster and Vashreen to mail...

As usual. I've loathed the Surrender to Madness which was almost 100% required to get a decent DPS at higher levels, so I've been mid/low DPS for most of the expansion. Thankfully, we play at heroic levels, not mythic so that works out.

As usual, the main problem isn't NASA, it's Congress & Senate. As long as the appropriation committees will consider NASA as a pork barrel rather than an end, you'll get Senate Launch Systems redux. (there was a budget line a year or two ago that dictated that NASA should research small rocket...

God, wowhead is dangerous... Their spotlight on ALL THE THINGS (uppercase intended) is deadly. I discovered the existence of the hidden toy in Dalaran (which spawns on saturday, midnight to 2am), which means I have to log on next saturday now. (the thing about which xmogs are still available...

/sadness Hey, it was worth checking anyway...

Metzen is no longer with Blizzard, so I think Thrall is going to remain behind the scenes mostly for the foreseeable future...

I hope everybody remembers a year ago: (I assume they did not sit idle for a year...)

Another thing is that you don't really need to do pet battling to get your pets up: just do the pet charms missions at your class hall when one pops up, and you'll stock up upgrade and leveling stones. At least until 8.0 hit; when 8.0 hit, they're going to obsolete the current charms (will be...

I did a quick check on the various pet strategies used for the Broken Isles and Argus "family" strategies (defeat all trainers/pets with pets of a single type) to guess what kind of pets are "core" to battling. The 15 most used pets are (in order): Unborn Val'kyr - Undead (rare pet battle in...

The only pets that have different stats when upgraded to rare are caught pets, there's "breeds" with speed / power / health / balanced bonus (2 separate bonus). If you see fight strats that call for "PP breed", it means a pet with two power boni. Achievements/vendors/quests are almost always the...

But, but... I did!
