World of Warcraft: Current Year

There is nothing they can do to warfronts to make them interesting. It's casual content aimed at the casual playerbase. Increasing the difficulty just changes it from impossible to lose to improbable to lose. The experience itself remains the same.

Island Expeditions are potentially salvageable, but again it is casual content aimed at the casual playerbase. It is meant to be a levelling option, with the potential to get some AP/faction & rewards such as mounts/pets. For a game that has so much RNG, it's almost hilarious how little RNG island expeditions have. This would be one place where a little bit more randomness would be welcome. Add in more potential for different events to take place. Give each island you do a bit more of a unique experience.

They also need to make every possible island drop available on the vendor they are adding. Keep the chances of getting the item by doing the island itself. Give you the option to sell any item you get back to the vendor as well for those who want to target specific items. Make the shit expensive so you have to grind a lot if you want every item. People would love that and eat the content up.

Now that Metzen is out and Thrall sent to pasture, it appears we have a new pet Orc from the new main man, Alex himself

Guess who will end leading the Horde at the end of 8.3.5?

The big bad of 9.X, obviously.

So I canceled my account today. Still have time until 12/20 which I’ll use to get my reps to exalted and maybe see alliance side story, but I noticed there was no option to offer a reason why. Didn’t there used to be? My account has been active since mid-Draenor.

I canceled mainly as the only monetary way I could hurt them post-Diablo death knell. I wanted to put that and some other criticism in writing. Damnit.

I cancelled my second account a month or so ago just because I haven't been using it, and also noticed they didn't ask why. I've activated/cancelled my second account several times over the years when I don't need it, and it always asked me for a reason. They used to even shame you and say you're making the peon cry!

On the Classic Cast, they had a former dev on and he said 80% people list that their friend quit so they are quitting too and he guessed that's why they took away the option.

They took away a quit reason because the data hurt their feelings?

Happens to me every once in a while as well and no idea what causes it. I just chalked it up to either lag or keyboard issues, but now it's sounding more like it might be a coding issue if it's happening to multiple people.

No, no sound. Idk if im glad its not just me or mad its happening and cant just learn to wait a tic more to cast

YAY WIII

bought for the mount. I'm a sucker for their marketing. If there's a mount to be had, I'm in. I'm never going to hit goldcap if I keep doing this.

Should have just kept the artifact weapons and made them stronger, then have the old world get super corrupted by N'Zoth and C'Thuun phased to lvl 110 and gone from there.

This cycle of making you feel weaker for every expansion really was retarded after destroying the Burning Legion

I think the "feeling weaker" part is fine when it comes to resetting ratings so we don't end up in absurdville of stats and have to tune ratings down mid expansion. The thing that sucks extra this time around, to me, is the lack of artifact weapon and no new talents/spells on the way to 120. Not only do you lose the ratings that we've been used to for 10+ years, but you also lose your legendaries and had already lost artifact traits and even if you got those traits in the shape of talents it felt really bad because they were gimped versions or compete with a combination of traits/talents you were used to having at the same time.. It's all really just a mess with how they've butchered a lot of specs.

I think one of the lowest hanging fruits they could probably do for 8.2 would be design a power tree like the artifact had for the heart of azeroth. Wave your hand and go you have empowered the heart and it has unlocked new potential. It does not have to be as big of a tree of options as the artifact weapon and maybe do one per class instead of one per spec to cut down the amount of work you have to do. This way you can have 2 or 3 activated abilities you unlock like the artifact and have something more permanent to invest your power in. This way the azerite armor is more or less just this go arounds set piece armor which it fits more with than replacing the artifact which is what it is trying to do.
