The cinematic leave little to doubt that this is the end of this expansion. There's no unexplored area left, the legion is repelled, alt-Guldan is called by the Legion (to make alt-Lich King instead of Ner'zhul since we slaughtered him early in a dungeon?), and Yrel says "we rebuild, but I'm...

Didn't even try. Everyone in my guild stuffs the auction parts in the guild bank, and whoever does pvp usually picks them when they finish their pvp part. Being on a PVE server means the PVP part is the most rare.

Yea. When salvaging, you're either salvaging for materials (in which case the copper is good) or for augs (in which case the silver is not enough).

The only one that can be arguably "better" is the one that digs sprockets as well as ore. There's no other tools that allow you to get those. It's not something major, but still.

1Q5 earnings for GW2 are 18 million $, for an unknown (but roughly estimated 1 million) regular players. That means that the GW2 players spends an average of around 6$ a month. Not quite sub numbers, but still.

Yea, seeing him missing from Hellfire Citadel lineup had people hoping for a small 6.3 raid "take down the last holdovers". Seem there's no 6.3

That was already the case with Blackhand. You did Blackhand LFR to finish your legendary questline, not because it gave you incredible upgrades.

Probably. Basically all the content is designed and implemented, there's just a few fiddly bits of fine-tuning to do. The extra stuff is already pushed to a 6.2.X. The release is merely deciding that enough fixes have made it out of the bug tracker, and the rest will be hotfixable.

Yea, the problem with being able to trade Primal for Felblight would be that some, like me, would instantly have enough to upgrade our 3 crafted items to max. Since they announced to reduced costs, I've been stockpiling primals, and I have between 900 and 2400 per alt (9 alt total).

For the same reason they dropped enchant on almost all slots and took out multi-gem slots. The problem was that you got a new drop, and you didn't equip it until it was gemmed, enchanted AND reforged. And you could gem and enchant on the spot with your guildmates having stuff, but not reforge...

Yep. My only alt with a heartstone sets to Ashran is a mage, because he has TP to everywhere else. The others are almost all set to the Pandarian shrine, which gives them quick access to everywhere.

"Good" is elusive. Focusing on features is easier.

Actually, given that their reason for not allowing us to fly is because "our quest content is much better experienced on ground", the achieve are good, since they "prove" you've done all that questing at least once, on ground. Been there, done that, now gimme me flyin' mount. The 3 reps are...

Archeology digsites. Seriously. I haven't "finished" archeology because every dig site is "find dig site. Take stupid flying path that lands me opposite dig site from where I am. Find correct road, run around a dozen mob packs. Dig. Run back to fly point, repeat". But outside of that, there's...

It's not the assault dailies, it's the bonus objectives. Basically, the parts of the outpost quests you did not select, since the Loremaster achieve is awarded if you've only done half of the each zone. The combo Loremaster+Bonus ensures you've done ALL the quests in the game, or their...

Thing is, I have all the reqs save 2 bonus objectives (which I'll complete, because why not). And of course the Revered with all 3 reps. Which I was going to completely neglect because, fuck, I'm still not even Revered with the trade post rep...

You may have quests for Dungeons if you've built the Inn (and are lucky). Dungeons are the poor parent of WoD, the one that no one wants to deal with.

But your inventory won't. Basically, what you wear and hold remains in limbo while you're back in the EK, and what you move around the EK (restocking the vendors) will (presumably) fall back into your bank when you go back.

Background download went 2 weeks ago, so the art content is basically done. They're still balancing some stuff, so 2 more weeks. (the current build isn't yet labelled "Release", so it's not considered ready for the launch hotfix avalanche)

Note that 1) In GW2, levels mean very little (there's a reason why people flock to areas, and it has nothing to do with the area's "level") 2) The next incarnation of GW2 appears to remove some of the "xp leveling" in favor of achievement-based progression: your abilities are no longer...

This is why, when levels stopped to matter, people looked at other simple, numeric scales to differentiate which content they had access to. Gearscore became popular, then ilvl after Blizzard started showing it and homogenizing primary stats per ilvl.

Where does this rumor of random diabloed loot comes from? 6.2 raid loot does not have any RNG beyond the current tertiary useless stats, warforged and socket. Every raid loot piece has fixed stats with zero variations. What has changed is that, where you had stuff like +200/+220...

What's going to be painful is that they've finally given us a reason to get out of our Garrisons: harvesting Felblight. Up to now, it really didn't matter much that you lacked flight. Once you had finished the questing, Apexis dailies have a flight point extremely close to them, no one needed to...

The normal answer would be that Draenor flying is the reward of the Draenor Loremaster achievement. Or, if you want it to be more of a "been there, done that" vein, say Draenor Veteran (requires Draenor Loremaster, 8 of the apexis dailies, and the Garrison Campaign). As an achievement, it...

Standard psychology 101: People tend to get pretty much pissed when you take away their rewards. (the salt-on-wounds-rubbing of adding flying mounts on the store doesn't help Blizzard's position on their Vision? of the game)

"Alchemy is working perfectly".

Yep. What "Dregs" define is: "alliance is not determined prior to campaign" (unlike Faction/God/Guild where your current allegiance immediately gives you allies) and "winner take 100% of vault, loser take 0%" (they might possibly dissociate those two) cards of the rule deck. The rest of the...

What they're saying is that they can design stuff to be +200/+50 or +140/+140 or +75/+180. Notice that, the closer the two values, the higher the total: that's how item formula works (it's actually based on something like the total of all stats x^1.5 is fixed). If you look at wowhead, the...

Wild ass guessing: Let's say that campaigns are tailored for a peak of 1000 simultaneous players. Typical ratio is 5-to-1, i.e. 5 times more players than actual connected players at peak prime time, meaning a campaign is actually 5000 players who have joined. Finally, lets say you have...

Varied from campaign to campaign. We already know Terminator ruleset (no import of anything), there's probably Rusty Weapons ruleset (one weapon only, nothing else), Full Gear ruleset, Materials only, and All you can carry ruleset.

It's not an awful experience. It's a different experience, and most important, one that is NOT for everyone. That's what games have failed to realize. They've tried to make crafting easy, even mandatory at times (WoW, I'm looking at your - defunct - craft boni). Look no further than EVE...

Yup, that's the big question: would you rather have them monetize the EK feudal king stuff, or monetize the campaigns? P2F (Pay 2 Fluff) vs P2W is an easy choice.

I can point to WoW's garrison. A lot of people wanted a lot from those. The result were disappointing, because ultimately, they were too self-contained, devoured your game time for daily chores, and they did not reflect the results of your game play (the monuments pedestal are horribly...

Yup. It lists the starting quest, the achievement lists the end quest. What's important is which of the 6 zones it's in.

You don't. Coming 6.2, the cost of blood in primal spirits drop to 25, plus if you're alchemist, you get enough reagents to get a blood every 2 days. Combined with the fact that in 6.2, all the tiers 1 to 3 use the same 15 blood equals "barn isn't nice, but not mandatory anymore".

The campaigns ARE the meat of the game. The problem with the campaign thing is that you need permanence, and that means something outside of those (i.e. EK).

I don't think there's any pattern/plan in campaign. The campaign gives you relics (i.e. power boosts) and resources (and possibly locally crafted gear if you can Vault those), but nothing else.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Newsto the right side, "today in draenor". Lists all the daily stuff.

I don't think there's anything to spend coins on within a campaign. I wouldn't have been surprised if you could not make coins in a campaign either; you should be forced to transport the raw and bulky ore to the export Vault, whose capacity is probably limited. But they've intimated that players...

Quality doesn't affect the follower's chances, it just opens more abilities. So, no, Harrison doesn't give the follower additional traits. However, a level 90 with ilvl 675 Harrison Jones will count as a max-level 675 follower, AND EARN XP as such. I wish Harrison had been available when I...
