World of Warcraft |OT9| People still play this? Isn't it from 2004

As mentioned before. it's always a double edged sword taking a group of friends in to your guild. I stopped playing, but my wife continued to play with our guild while they took in 5 very good players.I told her that it would end poorly for the guild, and that they would inevitably leave, crippling any raiding they were doing at the time. Sure enough, shit hit the fan one night and one by one they left the guild...

Same thing happened to my old guild. There was a group of like 5 people that were real life friends and family. Turned out they were pretty much using everybody else for their progression and when things didn't go the way they wanted they ALL bailed. I almost quit playing after that. Really, REALLY frustrating.
 
Today's epic storyline continuation quest is "Intolerable Infestation", which tasks you with slaying 100 demons in Faronaar or Felsoul Hold.

To be fair, we already know the Broken Shore is kind of shit. I'm using 7.2 as an opportunity to roll a new main and won't go back to the Broken Shore until you can bang out all of those filler quests in an afternoon to get your class mount.

If you have Pathfinder Pt. 2 and don't like the zone or filler content, there's no reason to go back there.

Yeah. still gonna plod through the filler to get the class mount quest, but definitely no intention of collecting up the tokens now to donate to the three buildings. Those are going to slow down drastically soon.

Just got a leg out of one of those paragon rep boxes. It was a good leg too (Holy Paladin ring, Ilterendi).
I shouldn't be surprised by those having a chance for a leg too, but.. well, it still surprised me.

Easiest way to do it is in the place with the weekly world boss. Get in one of those turrets and just shoot 100 enemies.

Also, even though I have flying, I'm still in Broken Shore 24/7 collecting tokens and shards. It seems like the best way to get legendaries outside of raiding, maybe, which I don't do much of. Legendaries can drop from the chests scattered around the island, the Legionfall Recompenses you get for turning in tokens, and the 5K shard relinquished gear. I've gotten three so far, zero anywhere else in the game. I'll just keep doing it until I get my BIS stuff. You can also buy those Disruptors for 250 Nethershards and sell them for 1.5-2K each in the AH.

Also also, I've never done any Mythic dungeons. What makes it more difficult than heroic? Are mobs just buffed, or are there new mechanics and stuff?
 
So uh, according to MMO-Champion:

Item pages are no longer linked and have not been updated.
You can no longer search or filter the Pets and Mounts listing.
Professions data is gone.
Raid Progression completion bars for Throne of Thunder and The Bastion of Twilight aren't accurate.
Arena Win and Loss counts are gone.
The current title a character is displaying is gone.
Recent activity is gone.
Talents no longer have tooltips.
Achievement statistics are gone.
Other spec talents are gone.

Fucking worthless update

Hopefully they fix some of this shit. Some of those features were important dammit.

I can't see my characters on the new armory, I only get an error message. i'm guessing it has to do with the name of my server, because I can see other EU player's characters.
 
I swear the last few weeks of weekly Broken Shore quests have been one intern waking up in the middle of the night on Monday and going "SHIT WE NEED A QUEST FOR PEOPLE TO DO" and then just hammering out go kill 100 demons in Azsuna as content

Its getting to the point where I would almost rather have nothing because you aren't trying that hard to begin with.

New legendaries granting talents is interesting, to say the least.
Indeed. I assume these will be highly sought-after so I hope the way you obtain them is something else than just doing dungeons and raids waiting for a random drop. A long quest chain, without time gating, would be nice.

We knew what all the weekly broken shores quests were when 7.2 launched, you could always see exaclty what each week had you doing by mousing over the legion fall campaign cheive parts on wowhead (except for like 2 broken links). And they addressed this too, they were gonna unlock features over time but thought that made broken shores too empty so they put most things in at launch. Made the weekly "tutorial" quests kinda pointless as a side effect.

Most recent Valsharah invasion was just terrible. First off, it's valsharah. No AP rewards. No quick "Nuke this elite". Nearly all order resources rewards.

Just bleh. Only did because friend has an alt so it was some easy exp. Don't let your algorithim put up like 5 order resource quests blizz, cmon.

With the WQ one, I just picked it up at the start of the week, and by the end of the week I was done with it. Didn't have any need to actually *push* for it, I knew there wasn't going to be a followup for a week, so I just took the interesting WQs when they appeared.

Was planning to do the same with the demons one (Just favouring Farondis/Suramar WQs in the demon areas while I was working through it), but I actually ended up already close to the target after a bit of wandering, so just killed some extra imps.

I like how they finally added heirlooms for flightpaths.

I understand all the words in this sentence, yet am completely failing to comprehend it.

Edit: Ah, just found the details. Odd, I wouldn't really regard those as 'heirlooms', since I heavily associate the term 'heirloom' as gear that scales with your level, which doesn't really fit for the flightpath thing - unless maybe it gives you the flight points for zones appropriate for your level? That's be interesting.

They're flagged as Toys, so I hope that means if you buy it once every character will be able to use it. That's basically the only way 15k makes sense.

Upon further inspection, you are correct. Blame MMO-Champ, their text colour for them is the same as some other heirloom/Bind on Blizzard Account items

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I decided to start trying the artifact challenge last night on my 885 BM hunter since I got Prydaz the other day. I didn't beat it yet, but I did manage to make it to the final phase once (burning down the worm after the Tauren dies.) I know I should probably wait until my Ilvl is a bit higher but I know its possible at my current gear and I want that weird ass snake crossbow gun thing.

I'm struggling with the curse of choice. I have 8 toons at 110 and the only one that's really fun is the 900 Enhancement Shaman, because his item level is high enough to get into stomp groups that run +2's with 4 DPS. But he has so little to gain from actually doing content like that. So I mess around with my Frost DK and Fire Mage and Destro Lock and Holy Priest and Fury Warrior and Resto Druid and the other Resto Druid... plus the other alts that I powered to 100 during the pre-launch event plus a Demon Hunter that I never capped out. I don't even know what I'm searching for at this point.

OMG I'm about to put my first through the fucking screen here with this Agatha challenge

I'm guessing it's just not possible at around 895 as a Fury warrior without gimmicky demonslaying heirloom trinkets, because this shit is just.... I can't here.

Kind of been my issue ever since I unlocked flying in Legion. Tired of the Legendary lottery, burnt out on World Quests, don't want to PUG Nighthold into Heroic, pretty disappointed with 7.2's content and with the changes to Mythic+ rewards coming in 7.2.5 on top of everything else I'm kind of in no hurry to get this Guardian Druid to Legion content.

The main reason for rolling a Druid was to make Mythic0/+ dungeon content easier to PUG as a Guardian and (eventually) Resto versus being a pure dps. 7.2 hasn't instilled any great confidence for 7.3 and the changes to Mythic+ mostly sound negative outside of getting rid of the key depletion.

Yeah think i will take a break from it all just now till Tomb comes out. Will log in every few days to sort a few things out but dont think i will play really anything in it just now. The funny thing is that if i do take like a 3 to 4 week break i can catch back up to everyone in like a day or 2 when i come back.

Took me way too many tries, but I managed to get the challenge skin at 885 ilvl. hooray for that.

Which class/spec? Either way though getting it at 885 ilvl is pretty solid, congrats! I can't imagine some of them are possible below a certain point though, like the tank one. A little disappointed about that since I was hoping for skill based challenges that get easier with gear because you have to perform well for less time, as opposed to some of the current "you need X DPS minimum or you reach the enrage" ones.

Wait, did they remove the extra 1000 rep you needed to get at Exalted to fully max the bar? Now when I mouse over my exalted reputations I don't see the number 1000/1000 like I used to, only a full bar. And I just hit Exalted with Hydraxian Waterlords last week but the bar is showing as full, which usually takes a few weeks. Don't think I have any mods that would affect that. If so, weird time to change it but I guess I appreciate it?

They might have just removed it when they introduced paragon rep for the Legion reps.

Yeah, the 999 part is gone now. I hit Huojin a couple of days ago running Utgarde Pinnacle and expected to have to do another run for that 999, but nope! A welcome change.

Hey guys. Resubbed last week.

Trying to figure out what to do for the most part. Already doing Broken Shore, did the quest chain to open new traits for my artifact and doing the usual world quests. My item level is 887 (Havoc Demon Hunter). Should I be doing normal/heroic raid(s) and Mythics at this point?

Got a our second Botanist HC kill last night, and it was a much smoother fight than our previous kill.

Downside, that means we have one more evening left of our raid schedule... which I guess means we can't put off Elisande any longer...

It was Beastmaster. The only reason I even decided to go for it at my ilvl was because I got Prydaz a few days ago. It would absolutely have not been possible without it.

I got it on my 2nd try yesterday after importing a weakaura string that makes a big alarm whenever the cast you have to interrupt is happening. I probably should have done that from the get go.

You're geared for heroicsish though I'd probably do a run or two of normal to get used to the fights.

At this point I'd probably not want to get too invested in Mythic raiding right now given Tomb is like a month or so away, personally.

Edit : You probably meant mythic dungeons in which case yeah, you're more than ready for most levels of that provided your DPS matches your ilvl.

Figured as much.

I've done Nighthold on normal a couple times now. Feel like another run wouldn't hurt before I find a group doing heroic. As far as M+ dungeons go, I think I've done up to 8.

Healing M+ is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're going to get. I've had +7's where I only had to pull 200k average and +0's where I had to do 250k+..
