(like an actual text saying 'it remains silent')

elfin steeple
#

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?

atomic sonnet
#

(pilgrim)

elfin steeple
#

Pilgram's Bounty

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

...So, I'm the one giving rep bonuses, then?

#

to NPCs?

grizzled parcel
#

IIRC it gives a flat 10% that should stack with the Anniversary bonus.

atomic sonnet
#

dracthyr_shrug its more to do with food stuff

elfin steeple
#

I can share my mount RNG luck if you want. rdsnrk

atomic sonnet
#

All I know is that this was the source of my beloved TURKEY SHOOTER toy

elfin steeple
elfin steeple
#

Got all 7 seed mounts! izzybongocat

grizzled parcel
#

Awesome!

#

I was messing around in Valdrakken, just realized I had enough Elemental Essence to buy the Salamanther mount + both pets

elfin steeple
#

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!

grizzled parcel
#

Oh good!

elfin steeple
#

I think you get a bonus roll or extra luck for the first couple seeds each week though!

grizzled parcel
#

Yeah, I think I got all of one mount so far.

elfin steeple
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

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)

elfin steeple
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

Those mushrooms were terrible and plentiful.

elfin steeple
#

The RL one is just Tinder material.

atomic sonnet
#

My monk got loot from 3 world bosses ppenk

#

Though I already had a 441 in one of those slots

elfin steeple
#

I've been getting a lot of world boss loot as of late too.

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

Maybe the nightmare bosses do since they're all different?

atomic sonnet
#

Nah i'm reading online, it seems to be all ooh

elfin steeple
#

cocothink that's a lot of loot...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

When to break aberrus 4 piece

elfin steeple
atomic sonnet
#

Basically i'ma wait until i get back from vacation adn then just catalyst two things

elfin steeple
#

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"

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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 dracthyr_sweat

#

But we all know in reality it's going to be... a cloak, bracers and a tier piece I don't need.

grizzled parcel
#

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.

elfin steeple
#

2 1000 1 500 and 1 250?

#

then the big 2500

#

quick maffs

#

but on sunday with the Pilgram buff

elfin steeple
#

No gear from the LFR run but I did get some blacksmith plans!

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

There's always some holdout :X

elfin steeple
grizzled parcel
#

I think I may switch to leveling an alt to 70, then yeah, do my tokens on Sunday with all the buffs.

elfin steeple
#

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.

grizzled parcel
#

I would love to, but I'm not sure when I'll have time.

elfin steeple
#

Gotcha. Well, if you find time in the future and have any interest then perhaps we can work something out.

atomic sonnet
#

I leave on vacation on tuesday night soooo ppenk

elfin steeple
#

I mean, we can wait until you get back. There's no rush I just wanted to see how schedules were looking.

atomic sonnet
atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

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"

elfin steeple
#

Interesting. What does this accomplish, exactly? I guess it makes it harder for... botters?

atomic sonnet
#

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"

elfin steeple
atomic sonnet
#

Yeah, leaning on the side of the brain havers ppenk

elfin steeple
#

They get bought by Microsoft for how much and... the game... is... on... life support...

#

uh huh

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

The missions?

atomic sonnet
#

The world boss quest you get for extra timewarped badges

elfin steeple
#

oh okay

#

I was like... I WANNA GO ON MISSIONS!

#

Whatever those are ponk

atomic sonnet
#

i want the mission table back, i miss my easy gold

elfin steeple
#

Garrisons but without the garrison...

#

I want player housing now!

atomic sonnet
#

I mean

#

Legion and BFA kept them in

elfin steeple
#

BFA one was meh

#

Legion one was okay

#

WoD one was the best

#

but I hated garrisons

atomic sonnet
#

Legion mission table literaly paid for my longboi

elfin steeple
#

dang what missions were you doing? I don't remember them being that good.

#

then again I didn't do alts in Legion

#

xd

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

Nah it was lower, about 1.2k i think tops

elfin steeple
#

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...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

I couldn't agree more.

atomic sonnet
#

Bwahah. I clicked on the boost token just to have a look at the functionality. Random spawned character is perfect

atomic sonnet
#

Man, i need an addon to track who has done superbloom or not ppenk

grizzled parcel
#

I don't, because I only have two level 70s

atomic sonnet
#

Tama's dragonflight helper does show but you have to be in the zone in the first place

#

made myself a gdoc spreadsheet ppenk

grizzled parcel
#

Allow me to install your copy ov EVE Online

atomic sonnet
#

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 ppenk

grizzled parcel
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

Sounds like me rdsnrk

#

I think it would've taken me a year+ to learn how to fly and use it correctly

#

What do you use to track the attempts?

atomic sonnet
#

Rarity, I think is the name of the addon

elfin steeple
#

yep

#

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

atomic sonnet
#

Might've been a tad too... obscure? There's a different word i'm thinking of

#

Cryptic!

elfin steeple
#

I mean, Masque probably would have done a "?" to which you would reply with: "It's called raritydarling " Ezpz!

atomic sonnet

I'd rather be immediately helpful!

#

I'm not trade chat ๐Ÿ˜›

elfin steeple
#

Gotta have fun every once and a while

#

Straight as a knife spitfiresmh

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

grizzled parcel
elfin steeple
#

Honestly, I'd have been amazed if you weren't rdsnrk

grizzled parcel
#

Also, not used to seeing him referred to as "Bog". rdsnrk

elfin steeple
#

It's either techno or bog rdsnrk

grizzled parcel
#

I always used Tcher

elfin steeple
#

Once I heard the guild calling him bog I knew I'd have to use it at least 20% of the time to tease.

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

Half my entertainment when following a streamer on twitch is seeing if they can pronounce it right

elfin steeple
#

you're evil

#

I love it

Gotta get the one flaming sword from Antorus!

grizzled parcel
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

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

Wowhead

Grun'lek is a level 20 - 47 NPC that can be found in Frostwall. This NPC can be found in Frostwall. In the NPCs category. Added in World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor.

#

So I click on the belt to see if it gives me the whole set link

#

It does, but

#

What a shot dracthyr_hehe_animated

#

Easily my favorite plate set. Combined with the wod challenge mode greatsword.... yeaaaah

grizzled parcel
#

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.

Most of the other bosses before seem to have been too easy, at least according to the groups doing them

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

Huh, not seeing it in game squinteyes

grizzled parcel
#

Going to roll all the pet tokens into a single item it seems.

elfin steeple
#

Nice! ... Uh, I didn't even know there were two different tokens to begin with.

elfin steeple
#

Did they change anything up for this holiday in-game?

grizzled parcel
#

I doubt it

#

Wowhead hasn't even put up a page for it yet, so likely nothing noteworthy.

elfin steeple
#

...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.

grizzled parcel
#

Nah, this is one of their almost-forgotten holiday events. I'm wanting to say it hasn't been updated since at least Legion

elfin steeple
#

...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.

tulip badger
#

not if they are going to last 1-2 days

elfin steeple
#

...What do you mean? Blizzard is the king of FOMO. So yes, they may as well at this point.

#

Let's be real.

tulip badger
#

for things that cost money ye

elfin steeple
#

It costs money to buy a sub

#

๐Ÿ’ฐ

#

But yeah, I agree. They should last at least a week.

#

Major holidays 2+ weeks. Micro 1 week.

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

I'm going to be a pretty magical prince, screw the rules.

atomic sonnet
#

Anyway the holiday is now up, was just waiting for 10 am PST

elfin steeple
#

no

atomic sonnet
#

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

grizzled parcel
#

Welp, I'm now at Dream Wardens 15.5 after using all my tokens.

elfin steeple
#

I really wanted to see Titan. izzysadness

#

Damn!

#

Nice one.

atomic sonnet
#

PogChamp that's higher than my main now!

elfin steeple
#

Masque out here flexin'.

#

I see how it is...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

...and then hero talents went to TWW

#

hmm

grizzled parcel
#

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.

elfin steeple
#

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!

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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

grizzled parcel
#

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).

atomic sonnet
#

There's a problem with that next week idea though ppenk

elfin steeple

...right.

Laptop on the flight there!

#

looooooong flight...

atomic sonnet
#

Connection ain't that good wheeze

#

Also i have a gaming laptop and it's a 200w power brick

#

Plane sockets hard cap at 75

elfin steeple
#

Just need to bring a bunch of power banks

atomic sonnet
#

Anything over and you get 0

#

It's not that recent of a computer so that doesn't work ๐Ÿ˜›

elfin steeple
#

ah

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

What if you set WoW's graphics to the lowest possible and brightness of the screen down?

atomic sonnet
#

Nah

#

I tried BG3 at lowest and that chugged ppenk

elfin steeple
#

You can set the graphics even lower using those /graphic scripts things

#

probably still won't help much though if that's the case.

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

You only need one game: Cookie Clicker. That'll keep you entertained even if you're not sure why for several hours straight. rdlol

atomic sonnet
#

funny you should say that

elfin steeple
#

Oh my god... I gotta share that one with a friend of mine who loves that game and clicker games in general.

atomic sonnet
#

Lemme just check what i have installed on zee laptop

elfin steeple
#

Gotta have some RTS games and do campaigns too! Those games last forever. Perfect for long trips.

#

Better yet! A paradox strategy game. rdsnrk

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

Vampire Survivor! I thought about mentioning that. Perfect for low battery usage.

#

Octopath and Persona 5... Niiiiiiiice.

#

Although that game might take battery...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

that's really weird.

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

About that... ppenk

elfin steeple
#

Heh, always fun though.

atomic sonnet
#

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$....)

elfin steeple
#

Wait... are you doing economy on a long trip...? I hope the leg room is at least decent.

atomic sonnet
#

Yus

#

Bitch if I could afford business on a long trip i'd do it in a heartbeat

elfin steeple
#

Okay, thank goodness. I've been on terrible economy flights before. rarityheadache

atomic sonnet
#

But I'll take โ‚ฌ880 over 1600-2000 ish

elfin steeple
#

Oof.

atomic sonnet
#

checks it again right now

elfin steeple
#

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..." rdlol

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

Not bad overall for that long of a flight both ways.

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

holy shit

#

just for business!?

atomic sonnet
#

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

I'm buying the ticket

#

whatchu mean fuel surcharge...

atomic sonnet
#

"Technically levied as โ€œcarrier-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."

elfin steeple
#

...Generic term to keep the person guessing and have a hard time questioning it more like it...

#

Keep them confused and charge them big!

Ah yes, we allow you to refund... at a cost.

You are allowed.

I like that choice+ is still economy but double the price but you get to select your seat...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

Is that per person or all together?

#

for the weight

#

in baggage

atomic sonnet
#

That's per person. Default in most flights is 23kg and I can upgrade to 30, 35, 40, etc at cost

elfin steeple
#

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.

Yeah but aren't you going to change your clothes every so often?

elfin steeple

Well yeah! I'd bring like 3-4 days worth and wash halfway.

#

#

I'm assuming you have a washing machine somewhere.

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

I mean, not all hotels have washing machine service that you yourself can avail of. Personel for the bedsheets and such though

elfin steeple
#

...I've been to the cheapest motels that had them somewhere in the building. rdsnrk 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.

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.

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 dracthyr_lulmao

Eh, brackenhide is worse. Azure is still linear, brackenhide has the two paths

elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

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

queen wasp
#

yaebounce_chickenjagoo 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.

atomic sonnet
#

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

queen wasp
#

GanyuSip If Blizzard is only going to make changes because some youtubers are complaining that's bad for the game.

atomic sonnet
#

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

queen wasp
#

Mythic+ leavers has been a consistent topic on the sub and the official forum for years.

atomic sonnet
#

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

queen wasp
#

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.

elfin steeple
#

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

queen wasp
#

yaebounce_chickenjagoo 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.

elfin steeple
#

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.

queen wasp
#

And FF14's pvp system is really bad, I can't see any WoW PvPers sticking around for that.

elfin steeple
#

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.

queen wasp
#

LuxSip Best time for WoW pvp is start of a set, that's when things are more and less equal.

elfin steeple
#

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.

queen wasp
#

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.

elfin steeple
#

I loved that one pvp mode in WoD where it was a last man standing type.

queen wasp

Vanilla pvp was wild.

#

They never replicated it.

yaebounce_chickenjagoo Probably because it was before they put a progression system on it.

queen wasp

ehh, disagree since it's content you que up for and the objectives had quests tied to them.

#

Outdoor pvp hillsbrad sure

queen wasp
#

GanyuSip You could do all the quests without winning.

elfin steeple
#

Wasn't there one for killing the main guy on either side?

#

Or was that later?

queen wasp
#

That's later, they were more targeted to the PvE side of AV.

elfin steeple
#

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

queen wasp
#

yaebounce_chickenjagoo 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

elfin steeple
#

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.

#

NoelleSmugE If they're going to copy FF14, they should give you all the loot. That solves the problem.

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.

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.

AyakaNoteAnimated_FiaKaru I don't think there's any problems with how 14 looks outside of the lighting being a bit flat in scenes.

elfin steeple
#

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...

I was assigned to throw some dust item on mythic raszageth every 5 min to turn the boss semi transparent

grizzled parcel
#

Yeah, the visuals are a mess

elfin steeple
#

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...

atomic sonnet
#

I vastly prefer ff14s telegraphs. Except when they decide this boss move won't have one izzynothoughtsheadempty

elfin steeple
#

FF14 is more clear I'm just confused when I die 50% of the time still. rdshrug

#

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...

queen wasp
#

FF14 standardized all their markers and it is something WoW should have done a long time ago.

grizzled parcel
#

Given they're copying FF14's dungeon AI system, I'm hoping they'll also take a hint on that.

elfin steeple

It was okay when the bosses only had like 1 or 2 mechanics but now... lol

Man, garbage vault

elfin steeple

oh, I forgot to check mine lol. I wanted to try and push renown 20.

#

473 ring though!

oh tier legs

#

...or an interesting trinket...

#

hmm sims time

atomic sonnet
#

Sims told me the bracers dracthyr_shrug

#

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

elfin steeple
#

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

atomic sonnet
#

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

grizzled parcel
#

That reminds me, we're not supposed to use the Catalyst until we upgrade items to 8/8, right?

atomic sonnet
atomic sonnet
grizzled parcel
#

Hm

atomic sonnet
#

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

grizzled parcel
#

Okay, that's fair.

atomic sonnet
elfin steeple
#

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.

atomic sonnet
#

True, but it's still useful to determine high ilevel item vs low item level tier

elfin steeple
#

Tier is more fun

atomic sonnet
grizzled parcel
#

Yeah, I don't want to make an item Tier, only for it to turn out gimped.

grizzled parcel
atomic sonnet
# grizzled parcel Yeah, I don't want to make an item Tier, only for it to turn out gimped.

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.

grizzled parcel
#

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

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...

atomic sonnet
#

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

elfin steeple
#

...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

atomic sonnet
#

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

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.

grizzled parcel
#

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.

elfin steeple
#

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

grizzled parcel
#

Yeah, I'm probably just going to swap to my DK main and change out his profession. I've never really enjoyed Jewelcrafting.

elfin steeple

um... no it's not because the gems are shiny and colorful and pretty or anything...

Could do both if you do mining on someone else.

Yup, I found several on my Scribe and my Leatherworker

#

I actually had fun leveling Inscription.

elfin steeple

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.
