(like an actual text saying 'it remains silent')
amazing
what new event?
ohh pilgram
One more month and it'll be back to Grumpus farming during Winter Veil.
looks at 15 alts. Dear Celestia help me...
Does pilgram give rep bonuses?
(pilgrim)
Pilgram's Bounty
IIRC it gives a flat 10% that should stack with the Anniversary bonus.
its more to do with food stuff
I can share my mount RNG luck if you want. 
All I know is that this was the source of my beloved TURKEY SHOOTER toy
I'm going to wait until then, then!
Got all 7 seed mounts! 
Awesome!
I was messing around in Valdrakken, just realized I had enough Elemental Essence to buy the Salamanther mount + both pets
ohhh nice! I love that mount.
Also, if you are having trouble getting the mounts from the seeds you can purchase them at 18 renown!
Oh good!
I think you get a bonus roll or extra luck for the first couple seeds each week though!
Yeah, I think I got all of one mount so far.
It took too many... But I suppose I don't need to sit around anymore for the seeds unless I need rep.
Speaking of which, I haven't tackled the new couple chapters added this week... but I guess I have to hold off until the holiday is up
the world bosses are a decently high drop rate. Out of the four bosses, my chars i've done so far have generally gotten one piece. Some chars even two
(anniversary bosses for 441 gear that is)
Aye, I saw that too. Azuregos and the nightmare bosses are annoying though.
Kazzak is okay
PSA: Make sure to loot the anniversary box on every alt. Those 200 badges you can use to buy rep tokens if you still need rep for any factions for mounts or anything.
I got a solid 7k+ badges this week just from that and killing the doomwalker boss
The first nightmare boss was utter cancer. It rotates daily though and the current one is in ashenvale and much better. Still annoying (fast moving puddles that stun you for 5 sec) but not instadeath like the fucking mushrooms
Those mushrooms were terrible and plentiful.
The RL one is just Tinder material.
My monk got loot from 3 world bosses 
Though I already had a 441 in one of those slots
I've been getting a lot of world boss loot as of late too.
I'm not 100% sure I believe it but I'm seeing online that these world bosses can be killed daily for a chance at loot
Maybe the nightmare bosses do since they're all different?
Nah i'm reading online, it seems to be all 
that's a lot of loot...
They have a fairly limited set of loot each and i think some overlap so it would be a quick way to get some 441 slots but that seems to be a purple starting point for this patch
Still an awesome catch up overall
I noticed the 10.2 world boss stopped dropping loot very often as of yesterday. I was 5/5 on the second day but ended withn maybe 8/15?
Hard to say if they changed anything though as just one person
I think for me it ended up being 11/13, did it all the same day though
i am getting repeat gold for kills at least
Early Look at a "Follower Dungeon" Coming in Patch 10.2.5 of Dragonflight.
These are Normal mode Dungeons that can be done with 1-4 players with AI NPCs taking the missing roles.

When to break aberrus 4 piece

Basically i'ma wait until i get back from vacation adn then just catalyst two things
Imma go steal from some lfr peeps rq
see if I can get 4 pce
"Oh no, I didn't need it for the tier set. I want it for transmog, duh"
hmm, actually I wouldn't be able to get 4pce this week... maybe if I get some vault luck next week.
But I want one of the new trinkets
idk what I'd pick if I had the option 
But we all know in reality it's going to be... a cloak, bracers and a tier piece I don't need.
Got my Renown to about 7.5 only by doing quests, WQs and treasures. So I'll need to figure out which tokens to use to get to 9.75 and then hit the big one for the added boost.
2 1000 1 500 and 1 250?
then the big 2500
quick maffs
but on sunday with the Pilgram buff
No gear from the LFR run but I did get some blacksmith plans!
Shrek 5 lookin' interesting
When that transmog drops if there's even one person in our raid that doesn't dress like a magical girl I'll be greatly disappointed.
There's always some holdout :X

I think I may switch to leveling an alt to 70, then yeah, do my tokens on Sunday with all the buffs.
Would y'all like to work out a future date for doing mythic Jaina? I know schedules are all over the place so I'd like to have some potential dates out there.
Probably takes about... 30 minutes give or take in a fair sized group.
I would love to, but I'm not sure when I'll have time.
Gotcha. Well, if you find time in the future and have any interest then perhaps we can work something out.
I leave on vacation on tuesday night soooo 
I mean, we can wait until you get back. There's no rush I just wanted to see how schedules were looking.

dang!
What do you think? Yay or nay on this transmog?
Tried to incorporate some of the new tier with other pieces but I don't have a lot that really fits.
I'm getting vague crucible knights from elden ring vibes there
This sounds like something that needs updating in the system since 2017, not an ongoing "spend X to buy token"
Interesting. What does this accomplish, exactly? I guess it makes it harder for... botters?
I'd say so, yeah. THat's what anyone with half a brain is saying in the comments
The other half are "lol game on life support"

Yeah, leaning on the side of the brain havers 
They get bought by Microsoft for how much and... the game... is... on... life support...
uh huh
Yeesh, spent all day getting all my alts through all the world bosses and the missions. I'm still unsure if it's daily or not, some chars seem to get gold yesterday and today but i might have just not killed that boss with them yesterday. Didn't really have time to do anything else on main
The missions?
The world boss quest you get for extra timewarped badges
i want the mission table back, i miss my easy gold
BFA one was meh
Legion one was okay
WoD one was the best
but I hated garrisons
Legion mission table literaly paid for my longboi
dang what missions were you doing? I don't remember them being that good.
then again I didn't do alts in Legion
xd
12 characters taken through the argus questlines. At that point you could get 1500-1750 gold and I think there was a bonus for some missions? So 1500+another 1500
yeah that'll do it
I just remember WoD having a 5k one
and people losing their minds
...or maybe not I can't remember
Nah it was lower, about 1.2k i think tops
my goodness. These people being like: "No cost for crafts but tips welcome!" and then not taking it unless it's 10k gold anyway...
like bish, I just want a S2 recraft for different stats... It's not even S3 stuff...
and I'm not being that stingy either
What's annoying is that the person is a multicrafter that has every profression and spams all day. So I'm sure they're well off...
yeah when i recrafted my sword to a s3 463 weapon I put in a 1k tip and paid for mats myself
If they're asking for 10k and you're providing the mats, they're fucking dirtbags
I couldn't agree more.
Bwahah. I clicked on the boost token just to have a look at the functionality. Random spawned character is perfect
Man, i need an addon to track who has done superbloom or not 

Tama's dragonflight helper does show but you have to be in the zone in the first place
made myself a gdoc spreadsheet 
I've actually played that a long time ago, for about 6 months
Spent 10 million credits on a lottery and won a billion credit spaceship 
You made it further than me. I got about 2-3 months in, actually won a rare ship in a contest... then realized if I ever actually took it out of spacedock, it'd get permanently blown to bits and I'd lose it forever.
Uninstalled the game.
Sounds like me 
I think it would've taken me a year+ to learn how to fly and use it correctly
One of these. Not a juggernaut but a size below
god damn cloak rewards all the time
ah nevermind
posted 20 hours ago

What do you use to track the attempts?

yep
Bog, you should have just replied with a Rarity emote and left it at that.

Might've been a tad too... obscure? There's a different word i'm thinking of
Cryptic!
I mean, Masque probably would have done a "?" to which you would reply with: "It's called
" Ezpz!

And what do you mean, trade chat? Trade chat would have responded with: 1) Your mom. 2) Outlands. 3) Nothing at all. 4) All the above.
Oh I forgot another option: 5) Google.
Like thanks trade.
Yes, I'd have been confused. 
Honestly, I'd have been amazed if you weren't 
Also, not used to seeing him referred to as "Bog". 
It's either techno or bog 
I always used Tcher
Once I heard the guild calling him bog I knew I'd have to use it at least 20% of the time to tease.
That's what I prefer, but Bog works too. Now if there's a butchering of the name happening, i take issue 
To be fair, I'm pretty sure 90% or more people who've come across your name butchered it in their head or are still working it out like an intricate puzzle years later.
Like, if I brought this whole server into a voice chat and went one by one asking them to pronounce your name you'd probably wince a lot.
Half my entertainment when following a streamer on twitch is seeing if they can pronounce it right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC8aDoLxkJY although American Gods took care of the pronunciation

The streamer i watch had in last xpac a weakaura for DEPOSIT YOUR ANIME (anima), IDIOT
Wonder how many actually did 
If you die in an AI Dungeon in 10.2.5 your group will rage quit
๐ 21
mrgm had a tweet with a brief preview
ah yeah
me no scroll guud
wait no, the link i provided was a different one
Gotta get the one flaming sword from Antorus!
Niiiice
What set is that? Looks like something from WoD
If I ever level up my Dark Iron, that set would work very well for him.
It is. Lemme swap a sec. DOn't remember if it's a challenge mode set or not or if that was just weapons
It might be from the blackrock foundry raid come to think of it
Ah!
Iron horde scraps farming
https://www.wowhead.com/npc=79815/grunlek yeah, in your garrison

So I click on the belt to see if it gives me the whole set link
It does, but
What a shot 
Easily my favorite plate set. Combined with the wod challenge mode greatsword.... yeaaaah
Oof
That's going to be annoying to grind, but I may have to do it. The set goes hard.
I kinda want to do a Dark Iron DK, just for the "Fire & Ice" contrast.
The tragedy of growing up in a literal volcano, always being super-hot, then suddenly being a creature who is perpetually cold...
Using their preview for dark iron dwarf
Not bad!

Looks like they've been stuck on the second to last boss for a while
Most of the other bosses before seem to have been too easy, at least according to the groups doing them
Oooooo
Don't see the DH "The Hunt" yet. Hope that gets fel green fire instead of blue
That reminds me, anyone know of a hearthstone that gives a fel / demonic vibe?
Nothing fel comes to mind, no. Closes would be necrolord green or the black domination magic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deJb1d8sJ-k 20 seconds in ish
Necrolord Hearthstone is sold by Su Zettai in Seat of the Primus (Maldraxxus).
To buy this item you need Necrolords Renown lvl 11.
You get Renown by doing your Covenant Campaign and by doing two weekly quests:
Replenish the Reservoir.
Return Lost Souls.
To know what is your renown lvl check the Sanctum Upgrades NPC in your Covenant Hall - ...
Would've been perfect to have something like that for Legion

Oooh, okay, that looks neat. Might have to go through SL long enough for that.
Oh right, the Dark Portal. A bit over the top, but probably the closest.
Might wind being a Twitch drop or something eventually.
I do want the Mechagon one for my Engineers.
Oh there's a new one in the raid
There are some pretty hefty nerfs for a handful of classes this week, and patch 10.2.5 is now on the PTR with a new round of content. We'll be able to dragon ride anywhere, and run dungeons all by yourself!

fweeeet
I can't tell if she's angry or determined.
get yo pilgrim buff
Going to roll all the pet tokens into a single item it seems.
Did they change anything up for this holiday in-game?
I doubt it
Wowhead hasn't even put up a page for it yet, so likely nothing noteworthy.
...Apparently there were people thinking the 80% speed of dragon riding in older zones meant that it was literally 80% mount speed, slower than ground mounts...

Darn, well I was hoping we'd get a giant turkey world boss that drops quaint festival transmog for the season or SOMETHING.
Nah, this is one of their almost-forgotten holiday events. I'm wanting to say it hasn't been updated since at least Legion
...Stupid Winter Veil... taking up all the shine other holidays... grumble, grumble, grumble...
And almost nobody does the micro-holidays. They really should add some fun permanent stuff in those to attract more people.
not if they are going to last 1-2 days
...What do you mean? Blizzard is the king of FOMO. So yes, they may as well at this point.
Let's be real.
for things that cost money ye
It costs money to buy a sub
๐ฐ
But yeah, I agree. They should last at least a week.
Major holidays 2+ weeks. Micro 1 week.
I'm sure they will updated it buuuuut it's probably pretty far down the list
Next one that we know 100% is getting updated is love is in the air
Since we're getting the PRETTY MAGICAL PRINCESS transmogs and all
I'm going to be a pretty magical prince, screw the rules.
Anyway the holiday is now up, was just waiting for 10 am PST

Interesting. Bellular video about how the value of TWW editions compare to previous ones. But the most interesting part is him talking about how internal sources talk of the game. How it used to be treated as a cash cow, funneling money into project titan, and them not expecting it to last this long. So at the time there was a lot of short term thinking, and technical investment into the game was not made
But now they realise that WOW's the beating heart of Blizzard and they're going to do their utmost to keep it healthy
Welp, I'm now at Dream Wardens 15.5 after using all my tokens.
that's higher than my main now!
Aklin: Overwatch came from Titan. A kinda tl'dr:
Titan was supposed to be a new MMO with a new setting. However they couldn't get it to work, so they salvaged it by releasing Overwatch, which was in that setting.
Overwatch 2 was actually step 1 of the plan to get Titan again - the walk stage. That's why they were including hero talents and so on. They were planning on patches/expac/etc to get it to the run and then sprint stage, which would've essentially brought it to being a MMO style game
But they couldn't actively keep OW/OW2 as a game going and develop the rest at the same time
IMO they'd need at least current WOW-sized team or bigger to do that right
Ha. I had my alt to Renown 12 the hard way, so I got the 100% boost off that on my main, plus the 10% off Pilgrim's Bounty now. With the 100% boost I got to Renown 7.5 purely off quests, WQs, rares, and treasure. So I was able to save all my tokens and pop them off today. I picked the ones that would get me to around 9.5 before using my big one that pushed me all the way up to 12, and the rest took me up three more ranks.
Their renewel and reviving of WoW, the beating heart...
...Well they now have Microsoft! Anything is possible... I doubt we're getting another MMO from them for a long, long time. But yeah!
Yeah I was lazy and didn't save my tokens. I decided to grind my alt to 10 then go for the rest on my main, but didn't really save tokens much. I wonder if I should just try to go ham on the tokens with an alt today
though the main is the one that needs renown 18...
Wellllllll~ if you push an alt high using all the boosts and rep bonuses available you probably can hit 20 on them next week
and then boost the main
Yeah, I'm hoping I can get to 20 in the next week or two worth of events. Then I can relax and move over to doing the old 10.1 stuff to get that up to 20 (I got Niffen 12 on my alt off the Boost for buying the new expansion).
There's a problem with that next week idea though 
...right.
โ๏ธ ๐พ
Connection ain't that good 
Also i have a gaming laptop and it's a 200w power brick
Plane sockets hard cap at 75
Just need to bring a bunch of power banks
Anything over and you get 0
It's not that recent of a computer so that doesn't work ๐
ah
However I did find a 75w power brick!
And it's magic. It doesn't charge, but it also doesn't reduce power much. At least, I can probably keep it going if I play indie games that don't trigger my laptop's fans
As in, I can keep using it without the power dropping, or veeeeeeeeeery slowly
What if you set WoW's graphics to the lowest possible and brightness of the screen down?
You can set the graphics even lower using those /graphic scripts things
probably still won't help much though if that's the case.
Yeah but i'm used to quality

But anyway I do have a bunch of games already installed on the laptop
And tooooons of movies/series on the drive
You only need one game: Cookie Clicker. That'll keep you entertained even if you're not sure why for several hours straight. 
funny you should say that
Oh my god... I gotta share that one with a friend of mine who loves that game and clicker games in general.
Gotta have some RTS games and do campaigns too! Those games last forever. Perfect for long trips.
Better yet! A paradox strategy game. 
Vampire Survivor! I thought about mentioning that. Perfect for low battery usage.
Octopath and Persona 5... Niiiiiiiice.
Although that game might take battery...
Shockingly no! I tested it
WHat's really weird is that if i turn off the pc, the 75w brick still won't charge the pc

Heck, it even drained it but it took like 2 weeks to go from 80 to 30ish?
But I can play persona (I think, the rest definitely) and it won't go down or at least very slowly
that's really weird.

Although I thought power bricks just serve as an extended battery that doesn't charge the laptop...? No?
Hades is another game recommendation from I if you need another indie game.
Heh, always fun though.
True but the only challenge for me is heat 32 runs and i don't think my neighbors on the plane will like that
Though I will try to go to check in on day off and say "if I bid like 100$ and there's a free business class seat, can i get the upgrade?"
(because a bit on the website is minimum 1200$....)
Wait... are you doing economy on a long trip...? I hope the leg room is at least decent.
Okay, thank goodness. I've been on terrible economy flights before. 
But I'll take โฌ880 over 1600-2000 ish
Oof.
checks it again right now
That sounds about right though... I've only done business once and it was 200$ more just to go 200 miles...
And I won a first class one once to go on a trip and you should have seen the reaction of the flight attendant when they asked what I wanted to eat and I was like: "... uh, I don't think I can afford it..." 
I did do business on a short haul flight, but I upgraded literally 2 hours before check in (on the bus to the airport) and it was dublin to Lyons, so a 2 hour flight. 60 more

I think I was upgraded to first when I was like... 12? Child traveling alone type of situation. But it wasn't the first class we see now, just slightly bigger seat and more leg room
OKay so this is economy for essentially my flight
Not bad overall for that long of a flight both ways.
I could've gotten the 900ish i paid for even now, but it wouldn't have been with the 30kg luggage balance I have now
Yeah, and if I wanted a chauffeur for either way it would have been 400+ per way
Business is essentially quasi-first class these days
Wait, really? By chauffeur do you mean private small plane?
Nah, I mean they send a car to pick you up
oh

And what do you mean by gotten the 900ish I paid part? I'm a little lost on that.
But yeah, i think if i go to check in and ask if I can upgrade for 100 bucks, if there's a free seat and no one has claimed it yet, I have a chance!
Oh I mean I got a better deal. I booked this months ago and 880 included 30kg bag allowance
...I'd be amazed if that actually ended up being the case. I'm hopeful for you though!
fuel... surcharge...
bitch
I'm buying the ticket
whatchu mean fuel surcharge...
"Technically levied as โcarrier-imposed surcharges,โ a fuel surcharge is the generic term for extra fees that some airlines charge in addition to the base airfare. This arbitrary fee is decided by each airline and generally depends on the route."
...Generic term to keep the person guessing and have a hard time questioning it more like it...
Keep them confused and charge them big!
Fools!
ugh
yeah
"He's going to Japan so he must be a weeb... right? They're rich, right? Yeah, just put in some generic charge... Call it a... Fuel surcharge! That's it!"
Anyway the 814 price i showed above is with the least options since they do this garbage
(that's one way. 415+ base price for return)
(wow channel has gone on some hella tangents recently
)
When doesn't it?
... "Refund permitted with a fee..."
Ah yes, we allow you to refund... at a cost.
You are allowed.
Permission granted.
I like that choice+ is still economy but double the price but you get to select your seat...
100$ ticket, you get a full refund! minus 300$ fee
35kg is a big difference, you'd pay like 200-300 to get that much more weight
That's per person. Default in most flights is 23kg and I can upgrade to 30, 35, 40, etc at cost
Ah, I see. I think I'd have a hard time filling the first option. I'd bring like 3 days worth of clothes, dentistry, a laptop and that's about it.
I could be underestimating 23kg though. I'm a filthy ignorant 'merican
1 bag, they say 8kg but i've never been stopped by going quite over
I don't think I'd even need checked luggage...
You better believe i'm hitting the limit on the way back 
I feel like I wouldn't need that much since I'd mostly be out checking the sights?
Oh, if not more!
You best be careful or it will be the most expensive shipping ever 
Well yeah! I'd bring like 3-4 days worth and wash halfway.
LOL
I'm assuming you have a washing machine somewhere.
Nah. I've started avoiding Airbnb's recently. Hotels are safer and cheaper these days. We do have washing machine at one hotel, midway in the trip
I'd feel like airbnb's would be a little safer in Japan, but I probably would do hotel. Really? There's no washing machines anywhere in that hotel? Ugh.
I guess I'd need checking then.
I mean, not all hotels have washing machine service that you yourself can avail of. Personel for the bedsheets and such though
...I've been to the cheapest motels that had them somewhere in the building.
But yeah, I don't think I'd want to wash my clothes at a laundromat in a different country that I'm not familiar with. So I'd bring at least 2 days extra worth of clothes in that case.
Yeah it depends on the location and country, really
Well, since you're going you may as well bring back some magical girl stuff in preparation of the magic girl stuff dropping in WoW in a few months.
https://media.tenor.com/h6XlgMwYBnkAAAAd/frieren-sousou-no-frieren.gif I am hoping to find the plushie of this
An elf mage in her natural habitat
Ah yes, the mimics from dark souls. Lovely.
https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-159079 (you think i'm kidding about the plushie)
Okay, my laptop is confusing me
I've left this running for like 30 minutes now, people are moving in and out of frame
Using the 75w brick which i've said doesn't charge the computer
I can hear the fan spin up every so often
In that half hour, it went from... 90 to 100%.
[huh.mp3]
Hmm, could be an error with the battery reader. I've had laptops that went from 100%, stayed at that for an hour and immediately drop to 10% and die a minute later.
Just keep it plugged in and keep testing I suppose?

I even had one laptop I didn't charge at all, was at 20% one day and then the next day it said 100% and died shortly after lol
was the worst to do papers on
scared me
ctrl+s a 1000 times a second
Oh dear... 4 out of 8 dungeons are in the C or below tier on a fortified week. 2 are F tier. Can't wait for tyrannical weeks...
One part of the mega dungeon is considered A tier and the other F.
It's chaos
Actually my best key i've ever done was I think just a +9 during BFA, but it was druid tank/healer, monk tank/healer (i don't remember who was who) and... 3 havoc DH
I think timer is 30 min? We did it in 18 
oh, waycrest
holyyyyyy
I did Everbloom 11 with a DH and feral and we did it with 15 minutes left
no lust
DH is silly
feral is actually not bad at all!
Was very cool
DH is disgusting and I love it and blizz plz no nerf
oh they will
I'm sorry
and you're gonna be gone a while
soooooooo
yeahhhhhhh

I'll break the news when you get back
i'll browse wowhead 

Poor aug vokers keep getting the bat constantly
yesssssss
Doin' a quick mythic gmod run in a group. Not sure if they want to do Jaina or not but we're doin' summons.

Huh, laptop still at 100% even now
Hmm... Maybe try booting up something more intensive to see if it's still the same?
I went to cancel my automatic renewel for Discord nitro and all I see is this
How could I possibly cancel now?
I use the 2.99$ nitro just for that
Oh hey, I had a free server boost I never used. 
...which I probably had for 8 months
Oh hey, i had more rep than i thought. Midway through 16 now
Oh hey, that's awesome! I wonder if I can beat y'all... I'll try out later tonight.
Did you do through chapter 6?
Not the entire thing, I think I have a bit more to go but i'll do that tomorrow. I'm WOW'd out for tonight
I think the last part of chapter 6 gives a good chunk so you may end up getting close to 1 7.
I'll check when I don't feel like being lazy.
MURLOCS CONFIRMED ALLIED NEUTRAL RACE!?
I want murloc warlock
murlock
Surely you mean mrlglock
I'm ashamed I didn't think of that first.

Okay, on my main I was able to get to renown 16 and 1/4th. Not bad at all I'd say!
Well shit. All the quest i'd not done yet only gave flightstones and didn't award rep... until this last one. Which requires killing fyrakk.
Yeah, sadly the last quests of the island either give minor rep tokens, or nothing but Flightstones and Dewdrops.
Or gear that you've probably already got better versions of. 
Very much so 

I could do the pvp quest for 1k rep but
a) pvp 
b) what i need is at rank 18 so
Yeah, I won't touch PvP. Briefly played on a PvP realm back in the day, getting ganked through Stranglethorn sucked.
Speaking of, I popped over to try and get a drop from the Anniversary boss in CoT this morning, but the only other person there was a Hunter.
Said hunter tried to solo the boss. It went badly.
I saw a warrior do the same a day or two ago
He held his own for a minute! Boss hp was at 98%
Then he go squish
Aklin and I did briefly try the emerald dream zone pvp. Seems like there was one small island where the graveyard is and people were going nuts there Was fun but it was like 20 alliance to 10 horde, felt like

PI?
Power infusion, a priest cooldown. Gives target like... 20-25% haste? for 30 sec or so
Which is a gigantic buff
ah, 15 sec
World of Warcraft Dragonflight patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal features the re-taking of gilneas, dragonflight epilogues and NEW Follwer Dungeons, which allow players to run dungeons solo with a team of computer controlled tanks, healers and DPS. Tali tests the new mode and sees how it works. The FUTURE of WoW AI (it's not really AI)
โบ Editor: R...
We need follower dungeons for timewalking next.
And if we could get some different modes (or moods more like it...) for the followers that'd be great.
We need spicy, toxic, friendly, silent, pug leavers, ect...
That'll give the new player a REAL idea of group content.
It's cool that you can still bring friends along for the follower dungeons, so if you have one other person you can still que for it and not have to deal with randoms.
So, I was thinking about M+ and what others have said about it...
I think I agree with the idea of having more incentives to stick with a "dead key" instead of moving towards punishing players for leaving. I was watching a video on how the incentives could revolve around maintaining your own key, and using currency you collect for completing other keys, timed or not, in order to preserve the level of your own key if you happen to fail the timer.
This could create an environment where high-key players join lower keys in order to save up currency to preserve there own. And even if they fail to time their own high-key later on they can save its level and other players of that group will still get currency they can use to keep theirs saved for later as well.
There was some other ideas behind using a newer currency for keys, such as increasing the level of your own for an insanely high amount of currency and swapping out your key for a low to moderate amount currency instead of having to run the same-level key to do so.
But the idea is there.

Something like a different bonus for a full clear (all mobs or something I dunno) even when not timing would be nice. But yeah, I think they're aware of M+ issues, remains to be seen if/when that can be changed
Would suck in brackenhide though 
And azure vaults
Eh, brackenhide is worse. Azure is still linear, brackenhide has the two paths
oh yeah
On the topic of M+ leavers
So here's hoping it's not going in the direction of punishing players and creating more incentives instead.

I think overall it's pretty true now that blizz is far more open to change and feedback than it used to be. The complaints about M+ have been much louder in this xpac than before so we're definitely going to see changes. What/when, who knows
I don't know if the complaints are louder, it has been the same since M+ started. The only difference is responding to players instead of doing nothing.
Sor: going purely by how much youtubers/content creators have talked about it, I don't remember seeing it quite this bad in either BFA or SL
Problems still existed then obviously but it seems that it's reaching a boiling point now
Heck, the removal of a seasonal affix was already one change
If Blizzard is only going to make changes because some youtubers are complaining that's bad for the game.
That's not what i'm saying
I'm saying that the youtubers are making more content discussing that because the community is louder about it and the videos are discussing how the community feels about it
Mythic+ leavers has been a consistent topic on the sub and the official forum for years.
And there's many more of these videos than there have been in previous years, in comparison
Which means that there's more/louder community sentiment about it than before, that's what i'm saying
It's not that community is louder it's that Blizzard has ignored any gameplay feedback through all of BfA/SLs, Dragonflight is different, thus they are discussing making changes.
Mmm, I think it's a combination of both your points. I think the community is louder because they know Blizzard is finally listening.
What's the point in screaming constantly if your point will never get across. Some people will continue to scream, sure but most people will just give up and move on. COUGH FFXIV COUGH
14 was an interesting exodus. I imagine those who are into the competitive scene have migrated back. Salvage raids and crterion dungons don't hit the same as WoW raiding and Mythic+
The casual/crafting side I imagine 14 were able to retain a lot of the wow playerbase that migrated over. That might change with the next WoW sets.
I absolutely agree with that. From what I understand a lot of those higher end mythic raiders who went to FFXIV for a time skipped out on the story and just bought the boost, did the end-game content and went back because it didn't hit the same. I keep going back for the casual highs of FFXIV, such as the crafting (which I ended up maxing out, even though I'm only halfway into Stormblood) and for the story.
And FF14's pvp system is really bad, I can't see any WoW PvPers sticking around for that.

Its pvp is atrocious, I don't see anyone sticking around for it.
WoW's pvp has been stagnant for a while, another thing I'm hoping Blizzard continues to work on but I know it hasn't been a main focus of the game in a long time.
TBC and Wrath were probably the high points for its pvp.
Best time for WoW pvp is start of a set, that's when things are more and less equal.
But it's a mode for a minority of players, which means it'll get a lot less attention as a result, in turn making it more and more niche.
That's true. I think pvp does pretty good right at the start of a new season, but dies out quickly. Its solo que mode hasn't been doing too hot from what I understand since it's harder for healers to get score than dps.
WoD had fun pvp because they completely took gearing out of the equation, it only had the problem of the PvP guy being so lazy changes were never made.
I loved that one pvp mode in WoD where it was a last man standing type.
managed to get first place once by cheesing as a blood DK
and teaming up at the start
I never participated in it but I distinctly remember this screenshot from vanilla or tbc. About 6-7 horde in the screen, taken from one of their point of view, looking out of... hillsbrad? Southshore? I forget.
Camera pointed towards at least 50 alliance, a literal sea of red
Vanilla pvp was wild.
They never replicated it.
Probably because it was before they put a progression system on it.
Not the pic but the same idea
Yeah people were in hillsbrad all hours of the day before BGs started.
AV used to last days.
You could be in a match for hours, leave and sleep, log in the next day after work and the same match was going on.
That, I participated in 

Original AV was the most Wc3 like mode.
Yeah but that was fine.
ehh, disagree since it's content you que up for and the objectives had quests tied to them.
Outdoor pvp hillsbrad sure
You could do all the quests without winning.
That's later, they were more targeted to the PvE side of AV.
ah okay
Only problem is I'm the type of person who'd be stubborn and in one of those games as long as possible hoping to finish it.
xD
All that stuff to upgrade the troops so you can push forward, or summon that big guy.
The other stuff was the short form of pvp, WSG and AB
I loved summoning the big guy, that was probably my favorite part of AV. I remember a game where both sides summoned theirs at around the same time and just having one big mosh pit in the middle of the map trying to take down one another's big guy.

its a lvling dungeon bro just go go go
Vote kick Captain Garrick.
My favorite part was when he changed specs and went from healer to dps, a healer bot took the spot of one of the dps.
But then one of the bots gets a trinket you want and all you get is:
What if I want my bots to armor stack so they can funnel me gear?
And I can literally say: "Autobots, roll out!" and it's true now!
How does the loot rules work if you select you want tank gear as a dps?
If they're going to copy FF14, they should give you all the loot. That solves the problem.
I think only loot will drop for you at the same rate it would have had you been in a group with real people.
I believe that's what i've read about it, yes
Deny. Copy Yoshida.
agreed
loot funnel and let us pick loot specializations for the bots pls
I want to mount farm with 4 bots
Oh man, what if I want four bots to go open world farming with me and funnel me loot and gold!?
We'll go hyperspawn farming!
yay!
just add bots for every level of the game why don't you 
We'll let the bots farm with botters so everyone is confused and has a hard time reporting people!
Surely nothing bad would come out of that.
They could have them pop out in full tier and a massive glowing weapon.
"I'm back" 
Leeroy Jenkins for Paladins fully decked out in mythic raider gear. He got the chicken (mythic fyrakk)
"While you were out there in hell and hugging dragons I was doing some farming."
That's perfect. The bots will come in to flex on you and motivate you to do harder content.
or more likely will cause you to cry and quit
These are great ideas, keep rolling them out. I want Actiblizzkingsoft to take note.
But in all seriousness, I would like to see major lore characters come to join you in those bot runs, like they're planning on doing with Delves.
I feel like my character is friends with a good majority of them at this point, so pestering them to come join me should be a given.
Maybe have them drop some lore tidbits you wouldn't see otherwise had they not joined you? Just fun flavor stuff.
Maybe have a pool of npcs that can join you based on rep you've gained over the decades.
oh
my
god
you're a genius
...That's a lot of npcs though...
They could make it happen slowly.
it should be your warband
What about the peeps with 100 reps 
warband yes, npcs also yes.
then it'll be a big pool!
"Come on in! The water's fine."
Alright, we're 10,000 messages away from beating the ffxiv channel. No sweat. We'll prove we're the loudest of the two even if there are fewer of us... although things may become an issue when I switch back over to complete Stormblood at some point...
I think FF14 will have their new set first, and itโs a big one so it will be tough.
oh, it's over then. We just had our major patch and we're two weeks in.
And Tcher will be awol for a while... We're toast! 
FF14 is story complete with Endwalker. Next set is pretty much FF14-3.
I guess it is good timing that Metzen is back.
I saw the graphical updates and some minor stuff planned, looks interesting.
Yeah, new graphic engine, Xbox,new story and landmass. Going to the other side of the world.
...other side of the world, eh? Hmm, won't be long before WoW does the same...
Except we're going in first!
Despite its age WoWโs engine I believe is still the most advance of all the MMOs.
uhhh, hmm... Not sure about that one... I guess it depends on what you mean.
I've seen some pretty crazy stuff out of the newer MMOs and even the ones that came out in the early 2010's
Art style hides it but WoWโs engine supports a lot of modern graphical features.
I think the art style is timeless
Blizzardโs programmers are magical wizards, they keep the engine up to date.
Ray tracing shadows are in, I think weโre missing lighting.
Samwise

Of the currently active, Black Desert Online's engine is probably the best
Once we go down that road thereโs probably a lot of Korean MMOs more advance, but thatโs because they love the genre more than us.
I'm curious to see how Ashes does. So much hype, but I'm extremely skeptical.
There's also a Dune one, which I think is... Interesting...
I'm really not sure how Dune could become an MMO but here we are.
Thereโs the Riot MMO no one has seen.
What's funny is when I think if the Riot MMO coming out I think of OW graphics but for an MMO.
I think the art style is going to be similar.
Okay, y'all are distracting me. I gotta get some fresh air.
I imagine it will look a lot like League.
That screenshot of GW2 is incorrect because everyone glows like an LED lightbulb.
https://www.wowhead.com/news/new-vampire-survivors-game-mode-datamined-in-patch-10-2-5-336268 chotto fucking matte
I'm surprised FFXIV is ranked so high on that best graphics list. I've heard a lot of "it's okay" and I have a close friend who does savages who's lukewarm on the graphics update coming.
I find the graphics okay, it took me a while to warm up to it.
In terms of art style at least.
GW2 I'd rank a little higher than some of those in comparison but idk.
I'm definitely not surprised swtor isn't on that list though at least.
And ashes isn't even out yet... WHO MADE THIS LIST!?
grrr
Possibly ai, who knows these days
I can understand using AI to help give ideas for grammar and structure to some degree... but this is just silly.
AI writing entire articles has become a cancer on the Internet.
(i don't know if this one actually is, but wouldn't surprise me)
eh, maybe. But I've seen a lot of articles like this well before AI was used a bunch in that industry.
Quickly cobbled together to generate clicks and ad revenue
most people who see it will only glaze over it before moving on, not making any comment.
Pretty much, yeah
FF14 has some great looking areas, but I can't really link them because of spoilers.
I'm kind of unsure if ESO should be ranked so high, I think WoW looks better.
Thing with FF14 you can really see the generational difference when it went from PS3->PS4
That list is just a mess overall, it seems almost random.
Also in development shouldn't be on the list.
I think the problem with ESO is they're correct, it does look better than Skyrim. Unmodded Skyrim. No one plays that way.
FFXIV can look really good with plugins. There's a lot to play around with though and I don't think that should give it credit if that's the reason why it's so high on the list.
I don't think there's any problems with how 14 looks outside of the lighting being a bit flat in scenes.
I think it just comes down to taste. I think it looks good without, but I think it can look great with. The art style isn't my favorite but I appreciate it and like it just the same.
Now FFXIV's music on the other hand... Oh man...
๐
No competition.
air guitar intensifies
I think it got nerfed just today though
did it?
yessss
I was assigned to throw some dust item on mythic raszageth every 5 min to turn the boss semi transparent
Yeah, the visuals are a mess
I had an insanely hard time seeing red tornadoes on fyrakk because they're the same color as him and fast. If you held a seed and got hit you'd lose it, which was something you needed to stop a one shot mechanic...
Can't imagine what it's like for color blind people...
I vastly prefer ff14s telegraphs. Except when they decide this boss move won't have one 
FF14 is more clear I'm just confused when I die 50% of the time still. 
They really do need a rework for visuals. Look, I don't care if making the red boss's fire blue wouldn't be canon... I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT'S COMING...
FF14 standardized all their markers and it is something WoW should have done a long time ago.
Given they're copying FF14's dungeon AI system, I'm hoping they'll also take a hint on that.
It was okay when the bosses only had like 1 or 2 mechanics but now... lol
Man, garbage vault
oh, I forgot to check mine lol. I wanted to try and push renown 20.
473 ring though!
:S
oh tier legs
...or an interesting trinket...
hmm sims time
Sims told me the bracers 
I do have a 467 hands and a 457 head that i can convert when i get back for 2 piece
Can't break 4 piece yet tho
when you get back you should have 3/4 just from the catalyst, no?
just need one more from something
okay that trinket is bad
3rd from bottom
darkmoon is better
xD
Nah, I have 0 tier right now. I still have the first catalyst charge available since I didn't want to break 4 piece aberrus tier. No catalyst this week as it's every two weeks
So next week i'd have enough for 2 piece and I get back on the 6th which is not yet time for charge 3
That reminds me, we're not supposed to use the Catalyst until we upgrade items to 8/8, right?
best to check wowhead class guides or discords for that
Hm
I think depending on the class, even if you don't upgrade it to max the tier bonus is worth swapping to
Like say if you have a 470 item and you replace it with a say 450 tier piece that gives you +2, i dunno if THAT is worth it but if it's like 10 ileel difference, tier will be superior
400 rep away from renown 18. Should be able to get it from the weekly superbloom quest i think
Okay, that's fair.
That's why https://www.raidbots.com/simbot is a thing 
The easiest way to use SimulationCraft. A resource for World of Warcraft players.
Eh, don't worry about raidbots if you're not doing mythic raiding or high M+ content. Just work on the tier set and enjoy it.
True, but it's still useful to determine high ilevel item vs low item level tier

Yeah, I don't want to make an item Tier, only for it to turn out gimped.
Congrats!
The item doesn't lose ilevels when you convert it. It keeps the same ilevel. But i mean, the calculator is good to see if say: you have a 460 item in the slot already. But vault gave you 450 tier piece in the same slot, and that gives you 2 piece of the set. Is the set piece worth losing 10 ilevel on that one slot? Generally, yes. Is it worth losing 20-30-40 ilevels? That I dunno.
Ah, okay, that makes sense.
Most a question in the first few weeks when you only have one charge
My situation might help:
I have 467 gloves from s3, non tier yet. The 463 hood would be great to have as tier, but that would now break my 4 piece aberrus set
Even the 22 ilevels aren't worth the dps loss of the 4 set
Once I get back home from vacation though, i should have a second catalyst charge so I can turn both of them into tier to get 2 piece
I just wasn't lucky in raid last week or this week in vault

gotta do LFR too for tier

Got to press your luck to the max!
Let's see how far I can press my renown today...
ah fuck I got to do auctions first... someahbitch...
I admittedly didn't think of that buit eeh, don't want to start with 440ish gear for tier, even after upgrading them to max
...Isn't your tier insane or no?
I guess it depends
I take whatever I can get. I'm pretty sure you can max out lfr gear to like 463
which is still great
Yeah you can but i've got two pieces ready to catalyst when i get the second charge and those will go to 476
And since i'm not playing as of a few hours from now for a few weeks, rather not waste crests and shit
Speaking of, found this. Pretty useful
These fist weapons are like spinny blades ๐
ooooooo
And that is a nice sheet
very clean

You're welcome 
Thank you kindly
I just realized we're going to be short a DH in raid...
rip progression
Naw
guess I better change classes temporarily LOL
New person seems to be a dh for s3
Have you seen assassin rogue in raids!? They're insane!
(rasser frassin' FOTM people!)
ohhhhhhh
flavor of the month
took me a second
Sorry, flavOUR, for everyone else.
I haven't seen the personally but yeah apparently they're sick
Eats used to be a rogue for a while then went mage 
Understandable 
I haven't managed to get one of the raid skins yet, so 3rd raid's the charm for rng luck?
Surely.
...My alt can buy the 100k run augment rune despite being only renown 12?
Honestly that's what it looks like

Blizzard has always been sticklers with gear and alts... Wonder how that's going to play out in the next expansion. I think they mentioned something about it but I can't remember what.
LOL
Oh right, getting lower-level gear from raids and content to send to warband alts
that's right
At least it wasn't 3 neck pieces in a row 
At least it was different ilvls!


Lol, I just realized that Celestia emote looks like something you'd see on a GTA loading screen.
Has that style.
According to raidbots there's a fourth copy in my bags
Yep found it
I have every fucking ilevel of this thing

Lol, I hope you get a pair of gloves for Christmas.
That'd be great.
It'd be a moment where you know they're nice but you can't help but sigh all the same.
From vault or in person? 

Anything you touch turns to gloves.
Like I said. Everything. Also, what in the world is that emote... 
Not sure if it's amazing or horrible at the same time.

RAIDBOTS HATH SPOKEN
Teas brewin'
PRAISE THE SUN!
Would have been funny had it picked a lower ilvl one
Ther was one different pair of gloves. Different secondary stats might've been better
hmm, not likely with a 9ilvl difference but I suppose if both secondary stats are different...
I think the agility increase is too good

oh unrelated: d4 is free until the 28th and 40%off during then (for the steam sale)
My word. It's always on sale now.
I have it and I need to play some during the xp boost event

It's definitely a huge difference
But mah WoW

And I would consider taking my friend through it this weekend but I'm leveling him in retail slowly. He's a big ff14 person. 
DH is his favorite so far
Okay, I like DH too but there's too many specs to choose from

DH would be... maybe my 5th alt...
if I had 5 of me
it would work
... wow, I have way too many alts.
We all do, hun. 
I took all 15 of my alts through the superbloom thing 2 weeks in a row and uh...
yeah I don't think I'm doing that again.
sticking to no more than...
3...?
Maybe 4...
Okay... 5

Meanwhile in FF14 land I have my one character and I'm good to go
What am I going to do while you're gone, Tcher? I'm going to have to drag Masque into older content for mounts I guess.
I'm thinking I need to get either my DK or my new Pally up to 70 and just stick with them as my new main. Especially once we get the ability to claim any armor type for transmog, I won't have as much reason to run my other classes.
But damn my Outlaw Rogue is fun.
Hey, if you get both of them to 70 you could try for the legendary from LFR twice a week.

...or actually just stick to at least one I'd say...
...but outlaw is fun too

Yeah, I'm probably just going to swap to my DK main and change out his profession. I've never really enjoyed Jewelcrafting.
Funny, I think JC might be my favorite...
um... no it's not because the gems are shiny and colorful and pretty or anything...
...okay, it might be that...
Engineering is always fun of course
Yeah, I'm thinking either Eng or BS. Eng has the most fun & utility, but makes negative money.
Very
The Emerald Dream added some slight catch up for profressions too. I found something that give my JC +3 there.
Not sure how many there are.
Yup, I found several on my Scribe and my Leatherworker
I actually had fun leveling Inscription.
I used to like inscription a lot when glyphs were a big thing that you swapped out to increase your character's power.
I haven't tried it since though
and I don't really want to level another profession after how long it took to level one this expansion.
Maybe in TWW!

You're going to be gone for a while so... sure thing! No nerfs.
None at all.
...Just don't keep up-to-date with news and pretend.
:eyetwitch:
Do world boss on mage, get a blue offhand from WQ (he didn't drop anything this week). I use it with a 441 wand I got
Do the seeds quest and turn that in, open box
...441 offhand.
No reaction images, sir 
I thought it was reaction gifs? Sorry.
...Definitely think we've posted WoW meme-y type stuff before... But maybe that's because they're on topic...?
Ah well.
Yar. Varies by channel but I'd say spongebob is off limit xD
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
that's my bad
lmao
I should have read the rules better.
It also didn't help that it was an image that took up half the screen.
But that's okay, I'm going to turn it into an emote!
I've let a few things slide, but yeah, Spongebob was a bit much
