As Far As I Know

so basically I just copy the entire WTF folder?

#

and that's it?

#

I just put it back it when I re-install the game?

#

and the interface folder?

I picked up the Freehold dungeon quest at some point and my friend missed it, any idea where we pick the quest up from?

Flynn in Boralus Harbor

thorny raft
#

Tanks, where is he?

#

We looked everywhere

vivid steeple
#

just go to harbor master and walk outside

#

he's in front of the ship

#

if for some reason u still can't find it look up "Freehold: A pirate's end" on youtube

#

that's the name of the quest

thorny raft
#

He's not there :/

where he is in the video

is there a way to heal things as a warlock?

azure reef
#

You can heal your pets, and can heal party members with healthstones but that’s about it

#

It’s not a hybrid so it has little offhealing or group utility outside of its bres, stones and summon

radiant socket
#

well fuck, i was soloing the lich king raid and needed to heal the dragon, but because im a warlock i cant get passed that encounter

#

unless i had a healer do it with me for that encounter

hasty spear
#

you dont need to do the dragon

#

just run RIGHT through that dragon. as long as the mobs surrounding it dont aggro you the gate behind it wont close so you can skip it

Before you journey back to Azeroth, you may want to spend your remaining moments in the afterlife seeking out a few rewards that will no longer be obtainable (or more difficult to acquire) in the upcoming expansion—Dragonflight.

whats that one mod where it show you how long till you aa again

auto attack

#

like the attack you just do over time

azure reef
#

oh, theres alot that have it built in

#

ik quartz cast bar has it

#

not worth downloading just for auto attack tracker tho

hollow iris
#

most folk use Quartz for that, but there really is zero need to see it since you're more wanting to weave abilities into a burst

azure reef
#

The only time I can imagine wanting a auto tracker is for rets in pvp

#

Due to one of their talents

which I'm guessing allows you to burst off an auto?

Hey can some one help me

Can this gaming laptop run world of warcraft at a good fps?

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-56 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop - (Intel Core i5-11400H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA RTX 3050, Full HD 144Hz, Windows 10, Black), plus Headset, Mouse and Mouse Pad - Amazon Exclusive https://amzn.eu/d/9VonM6i

#

i already have a razor keyboard, logitech mouse and all that so im just gonna donate the items it comes with

hollow iris
#

it won't suck, it's not going to be the same as a top end desk rig but it'll be fine. I'm playing at @100fps on an ASUS A17 2022 ( r7-6800H/RTX3060/16GB and 17.3" 144hz screen)

you'll probably want to add another 8gb of ram though since windows likes to grab 4gb these days before anything else runs

Hi! I hope I can seek advice from the experienced players here.

I played Mists of Pandaria to lvl 62 or so when it came out. Haven't touched WoW since. I started a new character in WotLK Classic a few days ago (lvl 22 now) and keep dying during solo-leveling, which is very frustrating
and I can't find dungeon groups at low lvl which also sucks big time.

I really like the storytelling of WoW so my goal is to eventually do all the raids and all the dungeons. I don't really care if I play them solo or in a group but I'd like not to oneshot the bosses. I want at least a mild challenge.
I also really like transmogs, so I'd like to farm for those eventually.
I have like a 10 hours each week to play the game.

My questions are:
What version of the game should I install?
What kind of server should I join?
How should I go about leveling?
What's the best way to achieve my goals?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help ❤️

  • Install Retail (Shadowlands 9.2.7) as it has the most content and all 18 years of QoL updates including an overhauled new/returning player starting tutorial experience and leveling system.
  • Answered in the channel pins.
  • In retail, level by default 1-10 in the Exile's Reach starting tutorial zone, 10-50 in Battle for Azeroth content by default (Zandalar or Kul Tiras), and 50-60 in Shadowlands. Once you're leveled and caught up to current patch content, you're more free and prepared to go back and play old content in order to your heart's desire without feeling like you're falling behind
peak geyser
#

Well only goal that doesn't archive is the "not one shoting old content" one, since that will happen

wooden oak
#

Thx, that sounds good so far. Maybe there are levels where I can stop and go for the old content to not one-shot? 🙂

Anyone have any recommendations for a game controller?

I’m on a Mac Mini with 12.5 Montery.

hasty spear
#

you want to play wow with a controller?

pastel vault
#

Yeah I’m having trouble remembering all the buttons on the keyboard

#

Is there a better way to do it?

#

How do you keep track of like 10 different attacks, buffs, heels, etc?

hasty spear
#

i have like 30 binded

pastel vault
#

Key binds? Yeah that’s what I’m using right now

hasty spear
#

what helped me is to use something like bartender (its an addon) and move/customize my actionbars in a way that resembles the physical locations of my keys

pastel vault
#

Hmm alright. I’ll look into the add-on

#

I’m also legally blind and can’t see my keyboard. Is that a problem? Are you able to see your keyboard?

#

Or is this just a me problem

#

I feel like there’s something about this I’m just not getting
but I’ll try the add-on and see if that helps

hasty spear
#

i never look at my keyboard

pastel vault
#

OK good to know. So that’s ruled out as a problem

#

Thank you bunches

hasty spear
#

if you really want to go with controller though have a look at ConsolePort and use a Playstation 4/5 or Xbox controller

pastel vault
#

Awesome thank you. I’ll look into that again as a last resort. Sounds like most people are using keyboards

golden meteor
#

anyone know if Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance is still possible to get? i need exalted on core races... is this still obtainable?

pseudo laurel
#

aren't you supposed to not get a deserter penalty if someone else leaves the group?

#

My whole group just quit during a dungeon so I left and now I have a 28 min deserter penalty

hasty spear
#

no. if you leave before its done you get it.

#

or atleast thats how i understood it up to now

runic needle
#

any addon for a better administration of the profession UI?

formal stone
#

is this real?

white mural
#

That's Daisy. It was a promotional pet you could get a while back just by logging in, with a unique /beckon mechanic that would place her on your back.

#

Not sure you can get her anymore, I'll have to check back with you.

#

Oh, and she doesn't have a blood esthetic.

#

There are still pets with unique mechanics tied to them. Like using /sit while targeting your cat pet. Or /whistle with your Crackers rogue pet.

formal stone
#

yeah i got normal daisy

#

but that blood troll skin...

vale hawk
#

They're asking if the cosmetic secret is a thing, not if Daisy is a thing

white mural
#

I read it.

#

But you didn't read what I said.

vale hawk
#

And do you know for a fact whether or not the blood troll cosmetic exploit using the method mentioned is possible, even if it's only for 3 minutes?

white mural
#

Do you?

vale hawk
#

Fine, be like that.

white mural
#

What.

forest lilyBOT
white mural
#

It's from the Rogue Order Hall campaign.

#

You can /whistle at it to sit on your shoulder the same way you /beckon Daisy to cling to your back.

vale hawk
#

That's not the only pet that does that, either

white mural
#

Yeah, there's one from the shop, too.

#

If there's one gripe with these /emotes commands, it's that when you /sit with a cat, it will hop out of your lap after a few minutes.

#

Wish it would just stay there until you stood up.

as K3ksKuchen says most "bind" players actually never look at the keys the same way a good typist doesn't need to

either try as they said something ElvUI or Bartender first would also be my advice

next up if that's helping would be look at something like the Razer Tartarus, or if you don't need that many keys after all then possibly even something like a PS4 controller ( or preferred console pad for comfort ) as iirc the FFXIV layout on it allows something like 32 between L2/R2 modifying and R1 to page next before you get to even weirder combos

it's all about muscle memory after a while

is the fastest way to lvl up as a dk lvl 62 to 70 through blood furnace?

Hey guys, I have a question I just can't figure out. I have multiple game subscriptions on the same battle net account. Is there any way I can check what characters I have on each game account (WoW1, WoW2, WoW3, etc) ?

brazen dock
#

when u click the region thingy

#

u can choose which one u bought the subscription with

hollow iris
# pastel vault Thank you!

oh, and the reason I mention the FF14 specifically is it gets round the lack of a keyboard for console players by basically binding abilities to "button + modifier" the same way that afaik there are various apps like reWASD to allow you to do the same on PC so you could have your pew pew on basic presses, pet commands on d-pad, interrupts on L1+press for example on hunter as it literally tells the PC to treat each button or combo as a specific keypress or mouseclick

hey guys the new evoker race when will be available?

pallid fulcrum

is there a best optimised allied race rep farm? my account is shadowlands fresh i want to farm alliance allied races and if there's a guide or checklist for it lmk, as far as i remember do campaign -> do daily wq -> wait... so if there's something with more thought behind it out there i'd need it

hollow iris
# pastel vault Oh shoot. I'm playing on a Mac and don't have a PC. Hmm I'll look into it and tr...

ah, I just mentioned PC because I run console/PC myself. depending on whether you're on iirc ventura 11.2 Big Sur or better afaik you can already pair the console controller via bluetooth and then I'm pretty sure there a few decent mapping apps available.

also the tartarus unless something changed is usable on the mac too, but until they get synapse 2 or 3 compatibility you'll lose the additional joystick on it as it's currently WinOS only

hollow iris
pallid fulcrum
#

hm?

#

don't you need exalted to unlock their race?

#

oh, you only need the campaign, did it change? i remember farming exalted for the orcs when i played bfa

hollow iris
pallid fulcrum
#

god bless, did it change for all allied races or only legion ones

#

nvm, ty for the info

#

hi5

hollow iris
#

all of them, and this is my total BFA rep never mind the Legion that is literally revered with Suramur and that's it

#

so unless they screwed over Alliance it's pretty much gonna be campaign and gribding out the paths on foot if you don't have BFA flying already

pallid fulcrum
#

i have a mental cooldown for bfa since i played through it and then deleted my bnet, won't do that content anytime soon, but legion was cool and i can fly there so ez

# pastel vault Thank you, you're awesome!

I've played with both damaged hand and then recently a crushed wrist that got pinned, and our old guild had a healer that was partial sighted and another that had only basic movement and single finger "clench". there's quite a few things out there for both platforms now, especially if you can learn to use a pad or even a keyboard spread for whatever binds you need

#

it's more going to be just finding what's gonna work for you best, Bartender or ElvUI does however seem like a good idea no matter what to allow you to track CDs better even if nothing else.

here's an idea what you can do with it, I'm a clicker thanks to said gubbed wrist/hand so I use multiple bars and you can have multiple CDs running with no issue

#

right... getting wiped again thanks to bloody covid.

hopefully that's given you some stuff to think about and have a look at, if you ping probably won't be able to reply till tomorrow ( uk time ) as probably gonna go fall in a heap and sleep now 😂

#

would it be smarter to get wow time with gold ingame or buy with $20? got 2 days left and just wondering if blowing all our gold would be worth it lol. (have about 250k gold alltogether)

wooden badger
#

But you can get a sub for $15 a month

lost flame
wooden badger
#

You can play the auction house

#

You can farm old raids for decent gold and chance at mounts, farm materials and sell em, play professions on a couple characters yk little stuff like that.

#

You should have a character for strictly gathering, one with skinning and LW, then you can fill out what you want and always have materials in the long run.

#

It just depends on how much time you wanna spend grinding vs gearing.

lost flame
# wooden badger You can play the auction house

i try and grind as much as i can, i mean not religiously but yk, got a main skinning LW hunter, got a druid for gathering (mining/herb) got a rogue for alchemy, just not sure what stuff i could farm for in older raids to sell like that, moost of the stuff i get is soulbound or cannot auction. still somewhat new to AH selling

#

usually just sell herbs/ore material

#

that and i try to join decent guilds to geet tips as well

wooden badger
#

It’s not soulbound stuff that matter unless you run it in an enchanter and disenchant stuff for materials as well, however it’s the BoE’s I strongly suggest downloading TSM and the add on for it I use that and it’s great, some BoE’s sell for a great amount depending their rarity, farm the raids you need mounts for, yah know. Get engineering make mounts sell em, might take a minute to get it fully maxed but once you do you can make good money just follow and vibe with the auction house and you’ll be good. Farm rare pets that sell for a good amount. I know there’s a website that shows the top pet list sold on the ah for specific servers and factions just don’t remember it.

#

It’s little things that count not big things. Little things go into big things.

#

I was making 150k a day before I slowly starting quitting

How long approximately would Brutal Gladiator/Season 4 pvp set gear last in wotlk? All the way to 80?

pallid fulcrum

they should last till 77 max id say

#

But I wouldn’t use it till then

#

You’ll get better stuff from questing

#

And dgns

Okay so maybe like a 75ish?

#

It's been awhile since I've played. Are there no longer "time zone" servers? I seem to remember realms being PST, MST, CST and EST back in the day. Is this no longer the case?

if u mean the world bosses in shadowlands, pretty sure only requirement is being level 60

#

yeah the shadowlands one! ok, thank you!

brazen dock
#

Since shadowlands is now free where is the first quest to start the shadowlands adventure if anyone knows please let me know

vale hawk
#

There was a promotion giving Shadowlands to players who had previously added an expansion onto their account, but that promotion has come and gone

#

And, again, was only available if you'd previously added an expansion to your account

brazen dock
#

ooh

pallid fulcrum
#

can someone help me get the rest of this outfit?

vale hawk
#

See the source of the outfit under its name? That's what you have to do to get the pieces of that outfit. See the icons for the different outfit pieces? If you mouse over them and read the tooltip, it will say specifically what boss/encounter the piece has a chance to drop from. If you want more specific information you can look up the outfit or that piece on wowhead.com to see if there are, if any, other sources

#

"Trial of the Crusader" is a raid from Icecrown in Northrend, and can be ran once per week per character. That is a leather set, meaning that you can only learn the appearances on a character that wears leather. If any of the pieces are restricted to druids only, only a druid can learn the appearance

pallid fulcrum
#

ok

#

im using a druid

vale hawk
#

That's obvious, because that set list is all druid sets

pallid fulcrum

hey gumball

#

i got an email back

and their still saying i didnt send them a photo of the code

#

i attatched a file before

#

i dont know whats going on

could you tell me the proper way to attatch a file

#

id appreciate it

#

im still muted in the wow server and id like to update the others but since this is open its the next best thing

Hey Everyone, new to WoW, want to get some experience for dragonflight, but i'm still lost on a lot of things like addons, items/looting, and I still can't figure out wth to main. Any advice or recommendations for youtube videos I could watch to learn would help! I've got adhd so it's hard to stay focused, even on things that interest me

hollow iris
#

@pallid fulcrum it's better than the old days where unless it was GM intervention level needed the turnaround was 5 to 14 days

also if you're using email to chat to them then simplest way is

1 : copy photograph from camera/phone to pc desktop, making sure as they said it clearly shows the card and also the game time code so it can be checked against fake/already redeemed codes. if it turns out to be fake or already redeemed then this is a totally different matter and you're gonna need to take it up with the card vendor
2 : reply to the CS email and look for the button in your email client that says "attach file". click that, select photo from desktop,, and then confirm if needed the upload and then wait for it to upload as an attachment before sending. most clients will show this as a filename and a green tick in a section called "attached files"

after that, same deal... wait for it to get to top of the queue again and actioned. good news is once it's in the "reply/action" side vs the "not assigned yet" side it's faster queues

river kestrel
#

I bought this with 5x Mark of Honor, but it's listed in my appearances panel as Not collected?

pallid fulcrum
#

hang on

#

it shows this

#

i attatched a file of the photo of the code and card

#

and they said they still needed a code photo

#

i dont know if thei rmessing with me or not

#

i feel like im being messed with

#

i dont know

#

i dont know

#

sorry didnt meant to type that twice

#

just had two starbucks doubleshot coffees

#

didnt sleep well last night had bad dreams and such so i decided to wake up at 6:30

#

and drink my coffees

#

now im wired

#

i can type faster than speedy gonazles

#

try a diff browser? clear cahce/cookie settings and try again? or try to convert the img to something smaller?

#

i tried that before

#

thats about all the technical troubleshooting I got :/

hollow iris
#

the issue may not be whether it attached or not, have you made sure that the phot as asked shows the whole card and clearly shows the game time code and it's able to be clearly read? 😉

pallid fulcrum
#

i made sure to get a clear picture

hollow iris
#

attached file is great, but no use if it doesn't show a readable code for them to verify

pallid fulcrum
#

im sutre of it

#

it was hard to when i was angry shaking though holding my phone

#

but

#

with the subscription i have a form a gametime

#

but id like to have my two month game time

#

so hopefully they can help

hollow iris
#

then check the photo again and if not totally clear, as in no blur/shake at all ( even if you need to prop it against something and then also prop your elbows on a table to stop any camera shake ), then retake the image with the full card in shot ( as in card plus some background ) and code visible and clearly readable

if they still come back with "need photo" then ask for another CS rep as that one is taking the mickey

pallid fulcrum
#

i got a clear photo

hollow iris
#

as asked, zero fuzz or shake and code totally clear and readable?

pallid fulcrum
#

i dont know if the image is going through though

#

nope

#

no fuzz

#

no shake

#

clear and readable

hollow iris
#

gimme 2 secs, I'm gonna try a ticket myself and see what an attach working looks like

hollow iris
# pallid fulcrum

that looks correct for attaching, try adding some text for the issue and see if the submit button becomes active

here's what mine looks like when I throw two images at a ticket

pallid fulcrum
#

thats not what my screen looks like

hollow iris
#

I use dark theme/dark app mode etc and a custom screen setup 😉

that's also the game code ticket initial form and not a ticket reply form

pallid fulcrum
#

oh

#

so what do i do

#

show me exactly to do

#

this is waht my screen looks like

#

they asked me to reply with a photo of the code and stuff

#

and i attached

hollow iris
#

I've already said

attach clear image ( this is done ), reply with any further issues and info you want them to have, once text box has some text in it Submit button should become active and you can then submit

so you click attach file there, attach the file ( ignore the bin icon as that's to allow you to remove it if not needed )
enter your reply

at that point it should then make Submit go "blue" and be able to be clicked

click Submit once you're sure you don't want to add anything and wait for the reply

pallid fulcrum
#

ok

#

i did that

#

but i didnt get the screen you got

#

where you put in the key

hollow iris
#

that's because I picked a random option and one of the options for initial ticket was "game time code"

ignore that bit on my screen as I'm not in an active ticket

different tickets/messages will have different things on the screen

pallid fulcrum
#

ok thank you

#

ill wait for a response then

would you like to play in the meantime?

i need help with the mage tower and i got a question about it does gear matter??

pallid fulcrum
#

ok good

heavy lion
#

or is it just skill

pallid fulcrum
#

gear kind of matters

#

i think

#

i also tried the code again

#

still not working 😐

#

meh

#

i know what not to do next time

#

no more wow cards for me

#

i think gear gives advantages

#

and other stats like intellect and critical hit and ect

Question. Playing Wotlk classic. Level 69. If I had my profession maxed in TBC can I start leveling in Northrend or do I need to hit 70 first?

#

I have a question. Can I just buy a time card and play WotLK or at first I must buy the expansion?

#

if you have a subscription/game time you can play WotLK

So, I’m really new at the game, it’s my first MMO, I am a level 23 warlock and I want to continue in the Jains proudmoore questline, the last quest I did was to slay the ‘pirate chief’ in the freehold dungeon, now I am in an island west (purple on the map).
I don’t seem to have any quest now, what do I have to do?

#

Hey uh im just getting back into wow and i remember there used to be a arrow on the mini map that would point towards quest objectives. now in classic it doesnt seem to be there. anyone thing they could help me get that back?

peak geyser
#

It’s not in classic cause it wasn’t back then

#

You can install Questie though

hollow iris
#

quest arrows and the "drop zone" overlays etc didn't exist in Wrath/Vanilla/TBC

you'll need something like TomTom for the GPS arrow and then whatever you like from stuff like Questie

Hey guys! WoW Classic WOTLK has crossrealms for open world pvp?

I have an issue. I last played in 2019... I come back and have 2 accounts in the launcher ... one says shadowlands and the other says Battle for Azeroth... Shadowlands has no characters on it and the other has my characters from 2019 in it... what the shadowlands account for? and how does it work?

smoky glen
#

see you have several accounts on your blizzard profile

#

you bought SL on the wrong account.. did you have a lvl 60 boost with it? like did you buy only the game or with Heroic/Epic version :?

#

cuz you can merge them and shouldn't care, if you dont want to bother with the site make a ticket (and wait a week) but you must use your boost first

calm sierra
#

I 100% did not buy shadowlands

smoky glen
#

enjoy your game

calm sierra
#

I am still confused... I bought the complete collection in 2019 and only have one account but it shows two on the launcher some how

#

the one labeled wow2 is the account with my characters on it

smoky glen
#

wait looking at my acc any chance you were in beta :?

#

cuz World of Warcraft®: Dragonflight (WoW1), Europe

calm sierra
#

i didnt sign up for it. You think the one labeled shadowlands is a beta account?

smoky glen
#

for me it is yup, maybe blizzard's mess

calm sierra
#

ok makes sense

smoky glen
#

wait noooo it isnt my beta is.. World of Warcraft®: Battle for Azeroth® (WoW3)

#

ok wtf xd

hasty spear
#

did you get shadowlands for free perhaps? there was a promo event recently for "returning players" where some were given shadowlands for free. not sure on what the conditions were tho

calm sierra
#

I think I did. But why would they not give it on my existing account?

#

I guess I will submit for a merge?!

#

does that sound right?

is there a limit to how many zereth mortis chapters someone can do in a week? I'm a returning player who skipped the first 3 stages of the zereth mortis campaign, currently I'm 6/7 and the game wants me to come back later to see what Bolvar has planned? does this mean I have to wait a week for the last chapter to be available?

im new to the game and i was wondering me and a friend just finished zandalar and i dont know what the do now, im lvl 46, and also (idk if this is considered advertising) would anyone be down to play together?

vale hawk
#

I doubt you "finished Zandalar" as you'll get to level 50 before finishing all three of the questing zones there--not even counting the War Campaign quests available up to that point

#

But once you do actually get to level 50 you can then level to 60 in Shadowlands content if you own it, or play the level 50 BFA content such as the War Campaign, Tides of Vengeance, the Rise of Azshara campaign with Nazjatar, the Mechagon Rebellion content, and the Visions of N'Zoth campaign and content in the redone Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Uldum zones

#

Get the Final Fantasy out of your brain--there's no real main story quest

#

For starters lol

urban urchin
#

going off of what would be a line of stories is what helps me play games, but yeah thats fair

vale hawk
#

But yeah, keep questing. All of the quests that grant experience don't leave a single quest undone. You will get to level 50 before finishing all three of the leveling zones

urban urchin
#

so just ANY quests, just pick everythjng up?

vale hawk

#

You'll very commonly find that completing side quests that seem irrelevant to a "msq" will actually unlock more questline options in addition to other game features and content

could anyone plz tell me how to work mouseove rmacros i never understand i tried to make one before but it did nothing

lunar hatch
# jaunty pond could anyone plz tell me how to work mouseove rmacros i never understand i tried...

the easiest way I guess would be to just google 'mouseover macro wow', there is a few ways you can go about it, with either the respective cast already in the macro or just the macro itself etc.

however there is also an implemented mouseover function (I don't remember if its in retail but it felt new to me in Dragonflight on the Beta). So you don't need macros in the future, you can just turn on that function and then click/press any ability you want while hovering over a friendly target with your mouse (like party frames etc.).

hollow iris
#

@lunar hatch mouseover has been about since macros got introduced, which was pre-launch of vanilla 😉

In Wotlk classic does turn undead work against death knights?

#

They’re not undead in the same way

They’re more like re-alive

Ok appreciate it @spare oar

pallid fulcrum
#

Is there anyway to change the map pointer to direct where I'm looking, not where my character is pointing?

hasty spear
#

isnt that default?

#

oh no i misunderstood sorry

#

but why arent you looking at where your character is pointing?

hollow iris
umbral saddle
#

rotate minimap in display

pallid fulcrum
#

I'm using conrroller, trying to play 1st person, the map is all wonky

hollow iris
#

camera angle doesn't affect map pointer direction, character orientation does

so if you look right but don't turn the character to do so then map pointer ( and if active rotate minimap ) won't change

umbral saddle
#

if your in 1st person isn't the way your looking also the way your character is looking?

hasty spear
#

i wouldnt play in 1st person but no matter how you play why dont you just rotate the character with the camera?

hollow iris
#

nope, you can still pan and tilt the camera with LMB and drag without changing model direction or facing @umbral saddle

umbral saddle
#

but then you're not in 1st person anymore

hollow iris
#

so they're probably using right stick as camera controls

spare oar
#

It’s technically not first person, it’s just an extremely small camera distance

#

And it’s going to make you play like shit

#

This isn’t an fps, it’s a classic mmo. You won’t be able to see half your targets with that small of a camera distance

hollow iris
#

@umbral saddle this stays in 1st person and as you see it's two different things with only wasd/cursor changes affecting the map pointer including moving forward with camera movement without direction change

#

and aye as Peach says it's not true FPV and you're gonna get wrecked by lots of stuff outside FOV

spare oar
#

Camera direction and movement direction can’t be associated. You can enable the map to rotate with the character but that won’t control camera rotation

#

They’re intentionally separate

#

Where your camera is pointing can not be associated with the map

#

Only where your character is pointing

#

And it can either rotate or not

#

@pallid fulcrum

#

I would heavily discourage trying to play in first person. Not only will it be difficult to find anything, but you will be absolutely terrible at the game and won’t be able to do group content without getting kicked

ruby dust
#

Can anyone get me lvl up nethergarde keep WOTLK lvl 48

pallid fulcrum
#

@hollow iris right stick is camera control for me. I know first person isnt competitive. I'm coming back to wow after like 12 years to play wrath of the lich king classic, thats where I left off.@spare oar

#

I was a kid, ended up losing my account to a phishing scam when I was looking at a buy/sell gold thing. It suuuuuu ked. A lot of nostalgia coming back to this game

You probably can’t do it more because binding both would require macro level stuff which is now bannable

Heyo I've tried getting this answered by googling it x) but I can't figure it out

#

I was in a dungeon, and I talked to one of the dudes in there. He reshaped me and my gear to look different, but now I can't get back to how I normally look?

#

Does anyone know how to change myself back to how I look in the transmog menu and character selection

hollow iris
#

go to transmog vendor > choose to transmogrify > anything listed as "transmogrified to <item>" right click on it and it will wipe any T-Mog on it

if your talking about the etheral dude you should have a buff that you can remove

#

in your buff bar

quartz mason
#

Not sure what I did but its gone now, thanks for the help fellas haha

umbral saddle
#

the dude who reshapes you only lasts for an hour or so? i can't remember but you can always right click it and removed the buff and return to normal but you can't ask him to reshape you until the original hour is over

thick mirage
#

I've enjoyed the levelling experience in classic wow. How different is retail compared to classic in terms of levelling? And is it worth levelling a character now or waiting for DF pre-patch?

keen pewter
#

No reason not to level up now, if the buff is up

#

it's different but it's still very much questing and genociding some poor family of animals

thick mirage
#

Sounds good. I wanna try out RP as well, but idk if that's really a thing in WoW

keen pewter

it very much is

Search for the roleplay or RP tag in the server list

Many players who don't even RP prefer to play on RP realms just because of the different community and less of a "gamer" atmosphere

#

guys is this attune important? its unlock a raid? or just an event

keen pewter
#

One of the best cinematics and lore the game has to offer

crystal silo
#

So i want to ask something about retail

#

I am going after some old raid achivements and all

#

and my main is a warrior so im not able do do some of the achivements like for example i cant fully finish icecrown citadel and there are some others too but dont want to get into that list

#

i want some other class that can do almost everything solo

#

what are my options

keen pewter
#

Druid and Hunter

crystal silo
#

i also do a lot of pvp and i dont want to be weak

#

fury is super strong and im in love

keen pewter
#

Druid for heals+dps versatility, plus cat form, and Hunter because you can use your pet as a second party member if you're skilled enough

crystal silo
#

some people also said monk is a nice option i can go for

#

what do you think of that ?

keen pewter
#

Monk is versatile like a druid yeah

#

And has plenty of mobility as well

#

Yeah actually windwalker monk is probably faster than feral

#

Only downside is their aoe needs combo points

crystal silo
#

well so you can say its capable of what i said ?

keen pewter
#

Whilst feral (druid) can just spam energy spenders

#

All classes can do anything sólo

#

It's old content

crystal silo
#

yes but not the achivements ...

#

lately because of the dragonflight im really into that Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider achivement

keen pewter
#

You'll need people for the ship achievement

#

You have to soak stuff on the deck, so doesn't really matter your class

crystal silo
#

hmm

keen pewter
#

Just need the bodies

crystal silo
#

i guess i can go for monk and druid at the same time both would be nice to have right ?

keen pewter
#

And the electricity dude I think requires some bodies too

#

Sure

crystal silo
#

okki than my first target would be monk sins its stronger at pvp and dungeons atm and after that i can go for a druid

#

thanks for helping me man i was so confused on what to do

#

i owe you one 😉

what would you reccomend playing on?

keen pewter

And standard wow is more up to date (duh) and has all the quality of life stuff etc

ahh okok

Wotlk is 2008's wow

It's more... Functional XD

haha thank you

😛 to be fair, wotlk is functional by classic standards

But yeah

At least all classes/specs are usable

#

Hello there. Does anyone know if this is something that they've recently changed as a dialogue text and if there's an option for the game to use whatever gender the character is instead of using this plural form?

pure sail
#

Hey guys i'm new to the game and i have a question. Let's say that i get a mount on my character, will i have it on other characters in different realms?

azure reef
#

I don’t know of any way to make it refer to the players character by their specific gender/body type
And pretty sure they’ve always used They etc when referring to the player character

azure reef
#

Some mounts are specific to races/classes or factions but a vast majority are usable on all

pure sail
#

ok, thank you!

fresh radish
white mural
#

Yet.

#

They don't have the option yet.

fresh radish
#

Yeah, I'm looking for info if they're planning to add it

peak geyser
#

I think it's mainly cause they want it consistent with voice lines

white mural
#

Remember when adding four extra bag slots to the base bag broke the game?

#

Give them some time.

peak geyser
#

(and not wanting to record 3 of them)

hollow iris
#

always been they, and as Ladon says to make VA consistent

#

same way they have the VA ambiguous so it never needs to refer to names

fresh radish
#

I didn't play through BFA much, but in Legion, you were mostly addressed as champion so they wasn't even used in voiced lines

white mural
#

I think it's better we are addressed by our class, tbh.

#

I miss being called Grandmaster, Highlord, Archmage, etc.

fresh radish
#

Those were only for that specific time bubble :>

white mural
#

Yeah.

fresh radish
#

Once you move on from there you are forgotten

#

Maw walker? Who dat :>

hollow iris
#

"they" is to allow whatever the VA name is to not clash, and it's a common thing in most games with VA parts

and very very unlikely that any game will add gender specific lines since as mentioned you then have to record M/F/Neutral sets for no real gain

fresh radish
#

Grand Commander of the Draenor offensive?

#

Never heard of the fellow

#

It is lazy Mad

#

both in written and in spoken form

hollow iris
#

no, it's saving the cost of recording three sets of every line

you want to supply the wages and recording cost for an extra two sets of lines then feel free

fresh radish
#

Gotta check how it was in SW ToR

#

But if you already earn mad money out of it

hollow iris
#

it's also not lazy, They has been used as a singular form for centuries and by people who definitely are not lazy writers 😉

fresh radish
#

the extra dough that you'd cough up for it won't be massive as it's a re-recording of how many such instances. You don't record the entire conversation, only that specific line: >

#

Amaze me with some examples, cause most of the things I've read in video games and to a lesser extent, novels, has been pretty specific

#

You're welcome to dm me with them since I'm tapping out. Otherwise mention me ^_^ Thanks for the info o7

hollow iris
#

which in turn leads to you needing to then splice said extra line in if you don't have the lines already split into separate sections

also does Shakespeare and Austen count? both heavy users of "They" as singular

fresh radish
#

Shakespear's usage of thou, thine

hollow iris
#

and also of they

fresh radish
#

they were singular nouns back then

#

Right

hollow iris
#

they still are, as is they

fresh radish
#

Anyway I'm running late

#

I can take it up later if you want although it's a pointless debate

#

My main question is if there was a function for it

#

No is the answer, sucks for me :>

hollow iris
#

yup

no is the answer
streamlining/cohering VA is the reason
for some games time/money for three sets of lines if not more is another reason

azure gyro
#

Anyone has recommendations as to a source to see how most classes/specs play? I'm not too interested in the nitpicky turning but more the major sweeping changes, the rotation, etc.

hollow iris
#

yeah, class trial in the game itself

#

try it, if you like the class then wowhead and Icy Veins are usually good for rotation guides that you can then try out
still like it?

bin the trial toon and start a new toon from level 1 ( 10 if allied race ) and learn it properly while levelling

azure gyro
#

Is there rotation information that's updated for Dragonflight or it's all Shadowlands?

hollow iris
#

since DF is basically nov 28th and anything so far is beta and could change?

SL

azure gyro
#

Yeah, no point in checking the SL stuff

keen pewter
#

and no point learning a rotation for a beta

hollow iris
#

then no point worrying till DF launches or is close to launch

azure gyro
#

I don't want to learn rotations. I want to understand how the class plays. There were some major gameplay changes between BfA and Shadowlands for classes like Aff Warlock and Shadow Priest.

hollow iris
#

the you have two options :

1: wait for DF launch like everyone else
2: get beta access somehow

azure gyro
#

Hence why I'm asking for sources? Content creators? Blogs? Good articles?

Never heard of anything like that.

#

And be careful of not going down a path that violates rule #2. 🙂

Can I preorder Dragonflight and buy 6 month sub or do I also need Shadowlands to access DF?

hasty spear
#

You also need shadowlands (you can see it as a requirement on the store page) but it will probably become free/included in the Gametime/sub once dragonflight launches

balmy bluff
#

So get all 3 then?

keen pewter
#

nah

#

just wait for shl to get added to the sub

balmy bluff
#

I'm a new player and want to jump into DF (though that'll take a while since I'm lvl 12)

white prism
#

Just depends on if you want to participate in any pre-launch stuff - if so you'll need SL

#

It isn't much going from SL to DF (my epic SL is only $20 to get DF)

keen pewter
#

Otherwise just chill until level 50 and wait for shadowlands to be added to the sub

balmy bluff
#

I can only go to level 20

peak geyser
#

If you buy a subscription (any time amount) you’ll get up to 50

#

And POSSIBLY on October 25th SL will become baseline and you’ll even be able to do 60 with just the subscription

#

And won’t need to buy SL anymore to buy DF

So I don't need to preorder?

Nah, you only need to pre-order if you happen to want to play evoker the day pre patch hits

For example gw2 questing is good but lost ark questing is garbage.

#

Also wont be able to buy shadowlands for now

white prism
#

Wow questing isn't garbage.. they've been doing this since 2004. 🙂

peak geyser
#

Well 2004 questing was garbage :p
It hugely improved though

white prism
#

I dunno... I like some of the original quests.

#

But it was rough back in the day that's for sure.

shy sable
#

So my question is is 1-20 leveling and 20-50 leveling is same amount of fun? So i can play the free trial and decide

#

Or does it get more fun overtime

keen pewter
#

Define fun

shy sable
#

Feeling like you are achieving something, have an impact on the world

#

Actually want to watch cutscenes

peak geyser
#

Then yeah, since it should be dropping you into BFA which has a decent amount of those already

shy sable
#

Ok ty

peak geyser
#

If you like story/cutscene stuff though also check out FFXIV at some point (if you haven’t already) they do it best imo.

shy sable
#

I did and didnt like, thats why im trying to get opinions this time

pallid fulcrum
#

Stupid question... When did Beacon of light lose its 1m buff duration?

keen pewter
#

If you mean when it became a 5m buff duration, in 4.0.3a
And now it's permanent

pallid fulcrum
#

I thought it had no duration?

#

3 days waiting on my ticket for merging the accounts that blizzard separated when they gifted me shadownlands...

is this usual? Or should I close that one and open a new one?

how do i go from storm wind city to durin dark hammer?

pallid fulcrum
#

I played wow back in the day im just getting back into it what one should i play retail classic and what is wOTLK?

vale hawk
#

Retail is the current game with all previously released content up to the current patch, 9.2.7. WoW Classic is a recreation of the game as it was before any expansions. WotLK Classic is a recreation of the game as it was during the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King

pallid fulcrum
#

wow

vale hawk
#

Retail is the one with 18 years of quality of life updates and features, as well as an actual starting tutorial zone and streamlined leveling experience

pallid fulcrum
#

so just play og wow?

vale hawk
#

Unless you want to play an old version of the game, yes

pallid fulcrum
#

old?

#

which has the most pop u think?

#

im trying to get into the most active

vale hawk
#

Those numbers aren't a thing, but likely retail as it's the mainstream version with the most content, updates, and continued content in the development pipeline. It's the "main game" so to speak

#

Probably still going to be a rush of players on Wrath Classic for another month or so until the new used car smell wears off

pallid fulcrum
#

what would u recommend

hasty spear
#

if you want nostalgia: Classic
if not: retail
pretty simple

pallid fulcrum
#

alr

urban urchin
#

im playing through WoD and how do i get back to orgrimmar?

vale hawk
urban urchin
#

ty, and yeah ive done a bunch at my garrison now lol

vale hawk
#

You should have a quest in your garrison to travel to Ashran

urban urchin
#

yeah ive been there alr just didnt see any area like that, but ill go back in a bit

#

also what are heirlooms, ive heard and seen some but im interested on what they are and if i can get them

vale hawk
#

Don't worry about it. The gold investment isn't worth it until you know what heirlooms are lol

#

But

urban urchin
#

also ive seen some streams where people scroll over an item and it auto shows what it looks like when equipped, i assume thats an addon, anyone know what it is?

vale hawk
#

Ctrl+left click by default

urban urchin
#

nice, weird, i tried that when i first started and it didnt work

gilded frost
#

Im not sure where to put this. I don't want to get into trouble. What im looking for what i need to do before Nov. 28th. Im here to have fun and enjoy the game.

urban urchin
#

im trying to rename my pet and im trying to name it noire or noir, why is it saying it contains characters that arent available?

shy sable
#

hey,thinking about starting wow wondering how much i need to play in my first month to get enough money to buy another month playtime?

hollow iris
#

from scratch it's very unlikely to be able to go "Free to Play" within the first few months never mind first month. that's usually something for folk who have built up characters and are maxed level etc with crafting professions and knowledge of what to sell etc

shy sable
#

ok ty

hollow iris
#

also as folk have said in the past, probably faster to work the hours to get the game time than try and do it in game 😄

hasty spear
#

yeah dont even think about it. HUGE waste of time

wooden oak
#

@pallid fulcrum I leveled to 20 in Classic and within the same Time I leveled to 36 (92 before Level squish)in retail. And I had hell of a lot more fun. It really is a difference like night and day and I'll probably never touch classic again.

onyx halo
#

yeah, the difference between classic and retail is big ^^

ruby dust
#

can someone help me with knowledge and gear i should get as a warrior

keen pewter
#

Hi @ruby dust I'd reccomend reading the wowhead guide, at least the tldr level 60 info, of whatever warrior subclass(spec) you're playing

nimble wadi
#

why i have fps spikes with load textures in beta?

vapid spire
#

Hey. Im a DH Tank who needs some help to progress my story. Im stuck at the Assault on Violet Hold: Purple Rain I could need some help for this dungeon. I play Draenor servers. Much appreciated (wow retail)

jagged palm
#

what spec should i be using on my hunter who is only f2p

azure reef
#

Whatever you prefer

wintry dew
#

where do you get heirlooms? and are there differences between them? besides base stats?

keen pewter
#

they look different

hollow iris
#

vendors in main cities and yes, many differences as weapon types and armour types are different for each class

wintry dew
#

right, but are there like, leather heirlooms that are better than others?

hollow iris
#

tl;dr? don't bother till you have plenty of gold to burn on them

wintry dew
#

i see they can be leveled, but are there different tiers or something?

keen pewter
#

no

wintry dew
#

i have 8k, which isnt a lot by any means, but is that considered enough to burn? lol

#

what do you guys typically spend gold on? I just finished campaign on my first character

hollow iris
#

there's upgrades which affects when the heirloom stops scaling but no "better tier" beyond stats matching what you need better

and nope, I've blown about 200k in upgrades since returns. I don't even want to think what my purchase costs were

wintry dew
#

so leveling basically increases the level cap of heirlooms. Where do I upgrade?

hollow iris
#

same vendor that sells the looms

each piece/trinket/jewellery/weapon is 500g, but you're looking at something like 13k per item for taking it from 1 to 29 to 1 to 60

peak geyser
#

they also aren't that useful anymore since they stopped giving experience

hollow iris
#

1 of each of these ( left is armour, right is weapon ) to get it to "stops sclaing at 60"

keen pewter
#

yeah they're quite literally just statsticks

wintry dew
#

sheesh, how do you think heirlooms will be once DF comes out?

keen pewter
#

10k for armor and 15k for weapon

wintry dew
#

just raise the heirloom level cap?

#

just seeing if I should work on heirlooms after DF comes out

hollow iris
#

they're handy for lazy folk like me who already had them to save constantly checking item drops, but not something that a newer player should really be chasing

keen pewter
#

No, you should not

#

You're piss poor

wintry dew
keen pewter
#

8k isn't even enough for some legendaries

peak geyser
#

yeah better spend it on enchants, gems and consumables tbh

wintry dew
#

I just dont want to work on alts and get them to a point where I dont need heirlooms haha

hollow iris
#

at the "I have 8k" level your main worries should be upgrading bags and maybe, I repeat maybe, working on a crafting skill

peak geyser
#

you don't need heirlooms

keen pewter
#

^

peak geyser
#

after they removed EXP gain those things are just useless

hollow iris
#

if you don't already own them plus a large amount of cash and have Altohlism?

you don't need them

wintry dew
#

yeah, guess youre right. Level to 50 wasnt bad at all anyways

#

so what do people spend gold on then?

hollow iris
#

transmogs

wintry dew
#

lmao

#

i can see that

peak geyser
#

gear, gear upgrades and consumables

hollow iris
#

and transmogs

#

but aye, crafted gear and consumables will chew a lot of gold if you're top end for content or PvP

wintry dew
#

im holding off on crafting until DF

#

maybe get alch for the potion time

hollow iris
#

and indirectly used to be the main source of income for me each launch before crafting got hammered

being able to literally charge 30k+ for a blue item the day timed mats finally added up in WOD on multiple toons along with 10k for enchants all added up back then

marsh mantle
#

Sorry to bother, but perhaps somebody can solve this doubt: knowing what we know about the prepatch date, is it really feasible for a new player to start from zero (like, max level today) and start the M+ grind in time to get the Deathwalker mount?

Honestly have zero M+ experience to see if it's even possible for a new tank with zero experience in current dungeons or the M+ landscape as a whole.

spare oar
#

and you probably wouldnt be able to get the mount because of lack of experience

marsh mantle
#

So basically impossible for somebody with a job

#

Welp, there it goes, I guess 😄

#

Thanks for the answer

uneven pasture
#

anyone recommend where I should play? Im living in philippines

#

im thinking US servers more populated

urban urchin
#

are there any quests addons? like i want to have a different look and i want to move it?

hollow iris
#

different look would be something like AddOnSkins or full UI replacements like ElvUI, moving the frames is MoveAnything

urban urchin
#

also, does it do anything if i tame a boss type creature, theres this rare enemy called gennadian and i can tame it, does it give any extra stuff or is it purely looks and the name?

keen pewter
#

you mean a rare, not a boss

#

And it's just looks

hollow iris
#

don't think there's been any difference since tail end of Vanilla, been a very long time since they had things like better attack speed or something else

keen pewter
#

In tbc they still had some extremely small differences, not on attack speed that got standarized in tbc

#

and in wotlk idk

vale hawk
hollow iris

do things like Quillen still have the combat res?

What is the best warlock spec for damage currently I have never played one and want to level them

keen pewter

yes

hollow iris

best is usually affliction or destro, safest if you've never used them before is usually Demo though

The best one is going to be the one you're better at playing

So I am at a giving up point with World of Warcraft. I feel so dejected. I’ve been trying to play it for years and get better at it and I’m so terrible at this game.
i’ve been reading guide after guide, studying for weeks trying to improve and I thought I was finally making progress, but just got the damage meter at on and it turns out I’m the worst in every group.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, it feels like I’m missing some thing, for some reason I’m just the worst player and I can’t figure out why.
does anyone have any tips for me or should I just quit at this point?

#

I’ve never had so much trouble with the game before and it’s not that I’m not trying, I’ve been putting in 110% and I’m so confused as to why I’m such bad at WoW

keen pewter
#

Are you comparing yourself with equal gear users and equal class and spec and conduits and covenant?

#

Are you even max level?

#

Anyways do a sim and see what the sim does and you don't etc

pastel vault
#

I’m not sure how to check those things on other players
but I watched a bunch of guides and got my item level up to 230
I watched a bunch of guides on feral rotation and copied those
I also watched guides on the conduit‘s and copy those to figure out the best one.
and yeah max level

keen pewter
#

Feral is hard

pastel vault
#

What’s a Sim?

keen pewter
#

Like feral is genuinely hard to play

pastel vault
#

Thank you yeah any tips at this point. I’ve gone through all of these things trying to rule out what reason I am sucking so much, and I’m having trouble figuring out what to do next

#

Oh thank goodness. Yeah I’m only getting about half the DPS is the other DPS players in dungeons

keen pewter
pastel vault
#

Thank you I’ll look into this!

keen pewter
#

Also 230 is kinda low, in a sense you're missing your 4 set gear, which give you special effects

#

Do you have legendaries equipped at all?

#

Unity belt and the other one?

pastel vault
#

OK yeah that’s the highest level gear I could find in the auction house. I’ll look up legendary‘s and see what those are about

#

Thank you for letting me know. I’ve been trying to figure out whether my gear was good enough. Maybe that’s the problem

keen pewter
#

I mean it won't be just that ofc there're maaaany variables

pastel vault
#

I’ll do whatever to rule out everything I can

keen pewter
#

If you open your adventure journal, shift J on default if I recall correctly, at the tab that says loot I think? It will show your powers, aka your legendaries, and you can also see your tier set and its bonuses

#

(click in the dropdown that says powers to change to loot (i think, again))

pastel vault
#

Oh I had no idea about this. Thank you I’ll look into that too.

keen pewter
#

Sorry I can't be more precise hah on phone

#

But I can at least understand the feeling of giving it your all and just not getting any result :/

pastel vault
#

Np I have three things to look into now so I can work on those and try again

keen pewter
#

I've had a hard Season 4 with my laser chicken too where no matter what I didn't seem to be able to get it to the level it could be

pastel vault
#

Yeah Thank you. I really wanna play this game, and play it right.

#

I just trying your hardest but still failing no matter what you do it’s pretty disheartening

keen pewter
#

Gods I haven't played feral in over 8 years, and I have played my druid since before then 🤣🤣maybe one day I'll go back to the kittycat

Maybe this isn't the place but does anybody have any tips on beating magtheridon in warcraft 3 ch6 of the human campaign? I'm playing the original 2002 release and it seems like no matter what I throw at him all of my units are dead in under 20 seconds

#

I've been playing on normal and it's pretty easy to brute force your way through most of the game but this guy is something else entirely, I know i have tl be doing something wrong bc it's unreasonable to have such a massive jump in difficulty even if he is the final boss

urban urchin
#

may be a visual bug but when i look at death knight with a class that cant be one, it says it requires an expansion i dont have, i have a sub, so wouldnt i have it or, did something happen and dk was put with shadowlands?

in SLs all races can be DKs but you need to have SLs

can anyone please help! when I run my character is randomy rtunning to the left and right all of a sudden

your character is drunk

Hey guys, so I was thinking of coming back to WoW and while choosing what server to play on, I was wondering, with who can I do M+ ? All realms, or just the ones connected directly to mine? And what about raid?

You can raid and do dungeons (premade groups, not random finder tool) with anyone on your same region yep yep

A question about prepatch stuff. The bf pre-ordered the physical collectors of dragonflight. Will that reach him in time for prepatch stuff or? We're wondering if he will be able to make a Dracthyr for prepatch.

viral fractal
#

Just hit lvl 50 what now?

hollow iris
#

physical will be unlikely to get to him until "street date" which is basically when it goes live ( maybe few days before if they allow for shipping ) @pastel bison

hasty spear
#

what he could do tho is pre order the base edition via battle net store and when he then redeems his collectors code he would get the cost of the base edition added as blizzard balance which he could use for gametime or something

hollow iris
#

ooooh... that's actually tempting now. never realised that was a thing

hasty spear
#

i personally dont do that but yes thats an option

hollow iris
#

finds out it's been a thing since TBC knowing my dumbness

pastel bison
#

Thank you both for the info. He thought about that option previously but it just going to blizz balance is kinda meh.

hasty spear
#

true

#

but in the end you could just use it for gametime which you would pay anyway

i just started playing wow is there any point in getting shadowlands or should i just wait until dragonflight and buy that?

depends on how fast you reach 50 and want to continue playing

if you don't reach 50 before october 25th-ish or don't mind waiting till after it's not gonna be worth

how can i change the position of the group abilities?

Is there any truth to the rumor that short races have a disadvantage in jumping puzzles? I've been trying to solve one in ZM on my dwarf character, and it seems impossible.

onyx halo
#

hmm, no idea, i did the most on my dwarf? i did use the jumping glove thingy and my venthyr mobility-spell

coral rampart
#

well you are shorter so your jump is lower and from what i noticed i just need to be on the edge and aim at right place unlike being a tauren

but i belive distance of jump should be same

I've just completed the campaign and got my Covenant, what should i be working towards now? most of my gear is at least ilvl 236. Should i be doing item enchantments with these items? Or wait for better gear

i think you get better gear fast in zereth mortis

so if the enchantments cost a lot, i wouldn't do them yet

i can tell distance is same but i never noticed jump height would be same

it certanly dont look like it

vale hawk
#

Perspective based on model size

stoic basalt
#

I need to jump a long distance, uphill. It's at the very limit of what is possible. I've checked that my latency is very low (~60ms), so that's not the problem. There's a video on youtube of another dwarf merrily hopping up the same distance, so I know it's possible. And in an hour or two of trying, I did manage one time to make the jump...but then screwed up the second jump. There's some combination of starting point and the timing of the initial forward movement followed by the jump...and I just can't get it.

alpine spear
#

Should I complete stormsong before doing war campaign? I just hit lvl 39, don't want to reach max (50 for me, havent bought shadowlands yet)

coral rampart
stoic basalt
#

quickly tapping W followed immediately by a quick tap of the space bar is (I guess?) the way to jump the farthest uphill...but I don't really know. Maybe I'm supposed to hold the space bar down a little longer. Maybe I need to tap something when I land. This dwarf always "lands" on thin air at the side of the sphere: https://youtu.be/MDjfUsNCyE4 ...my character never "lands" like that, she falls to the ground because there's no RoadRunner fake platform for her to land on.

alpine spear
onyx halo

yeah, it goes very fast

#

just put your exp on hold when 49

alpine spear
#

or what do you mean

onyx halo

yeah, in SW next to the throneroom is an NPC you can talk to, so you won't get exp anymore from anything

don't know where it is in Orgrimmar

was mainly for twinks back in the day i think

coral rampart
