I would probably motivate myself to give a try, but these days, 98% of the games that interest me are available on OS X, which means I can't bring myself to boot into Windows. So, no TSW.

Visions? Is that the political correct for hallucinations?

That's pretty much the only reason I'm waiting for it. A Tanaan daily cycle would be shortened by maybe 7-8mn tops with flying, I think. Archaeology, on the other hand...

They have an internal alpha, we're promised access to the new continent for those at Blizzcon. So, beta in december. I think it's reasonable to expect it around Q2 2016... which means about 9-10 months of 6.2, 2 of which have already passed (yes, it's already been 2 months of 6.2). Ok, maybe...

It's called random. If you focus on one or two chars, you can have over half of their armor with your best secondary, and 3-4 pieces with their best two within a month. You get four-five pieces per day in drops on average during your dailies (from named, glowing chests, and the occasional rare...

Of course, I knew instantly what it was. Nice name, though

Suspension of disbelief is not always easy to get. One small mistake, and suddenly you're all "WTF?"

There's no one there, like ever. Aviana your way there (usually, it's an alt so not an option, but, eh). Also, if you're a skinner, and it's not a Saberstalker rep day, skinning the entire Zorammarsh is very efficient. You don't get 5-felblight nodes, but you get steady supplies. Myself, I...

That was my first remark as well when I saw the video.

If they're putting in the 6.2.1 patch, then they completely messed up their communication, since they could have simply said "oh, btw, the 6.2.1 is probably this week, or maybe next" instead of letting us think it was shelved in favor of a 6.2.2. So I think not. Alas.

And they always want to know when they're going to fight. Except that goblin girl. She always ask if you can skip the job and go straight to getting paid.

I thought it was dead. Guess it's coming back from the dead, then. We had a thread, but it might be so old, it might predate the move to rerolled...

They even dropped the two sizes of old-denomination mythic in favor on a single raid size because that let them tune mythic better. The only mythic change that might affect retention rates would be nerfing mythic so that heroic hopefuls could get "into mythic" instead of unsubbing because...

And up to 4 recolors per appearance. Basically, they've put as much effort in making those artefacts as they usually do for "normal" weapons. The only difference is that, when they add new raids... ahem, when they'll add THE last raid, you won't have new looks in it. Or maybe you'll unlock a...

There were some insurance premiums (I'm not familiar with that kind of loan structure) that needed to be paid regularly. They were running out of cash, trying to get anything they could, when their check for insurance bounced (at that point, of course, they hadn't paid healthcare, hadn't paid a...

Well, at the moment it's raining, so meh

It's a bit more of a build number change. It's a bait-and-switch, compounded by absolute failure to communicate clearly, on top of what's obviously a bad production decision. There is no reason to tag release a PTR unless you are reasonably sure you're going to release it, essentially because...

Is that me or are the CM becoming deliberately obtuse, sadistic, and avoid answering questions? Apparently, the switch on PTR from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2 isn't because flying is done testing and the patch is going live and now they're working on the rest. It's because they could not add all those...

Curt expected some magical VC to materialize and give The Man With The Bloody Sock money without equity in his dream company in exchange for promises of insane MMO profit when the game went out. And he maintains he had some crazy asians or something lined up until the end, but alas, the deal...

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...
