Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Was there ever a GAF guild?
The whole place is fucking ridiculous. It's fine if it was a tier ahead, but it's not. Either the whole raid needs huge nerfs or it needs to drop higher ilvl.
Hopefully it's a learning curve thing.
Right now Normal BRF pugs are mostly inviting people geared one tier higher (660+), rather than people geared from N HM (650+) which should be the natural progression.
Maybe. Some of the healing requirements in Heroic BRF is pretty bonkers. I raid with some above average healers but even then it's pretty crazy.

Nothing in HM would have prepared healers for what happens in BRF, where the amount of coordination with people spread more than fifty yards apart is beyond what would have been required of all but the most poorly executed HM fights.
Hmm sounds like Heroic is overtuned?
From my pugging experience, normal BRF healing has not been problematic so far (haven't tried later bosses like Blackhand tho).

A52 is still good, if you want to stay Horde. That's where I'm still at.

Eh, my guild that is 4/7 on mythic in Highmaul downed the first 7 bosses in BRF without too much fuss over 3 nights. Yeah we wiped 10+ times on a couple of them, but definitely nothing super hard. Last 3 bosses might be a cut above the rest though based on what I've seen and heard. So maybe those get nerfed a bit. But overall most of the bosses in BRF are really not that tough.
Blackhand is tough for tanks and melee since for once they need to do the mechanics for the fight. It was kinda sad watching them blow up mines like nobody's business and having the tanks throw off half our raid off the platform in p3.
Most of the fights werent too bad. Blast furnace gave us problems with 26 people though. Didn't help we stuck to some gimmicky mind control strat. Dropped a few people and killed it. Can't comment on maidens or black hand yet. Only did 8 bosses on heroic the first week. Look forward to mythicmythic with my shit ass guild.

Be sure to get Heirlooms from DMF now if you are interested in those, as they change in 6.1
Currently they are 1 to 80 heirlooms and when 6.1 hits, those that you've bought will be the 1 to 90 versions.
But new ones from DMF in 6.1 will be 1 to 60 and you'll need to buy the upgrade too.
Basically buying them now gives you the upgrade for free.

Poor visual reads. Nothing about it feels very dynamic either, so I'm already bored of it.Whats so bad about Oregorger?
It's fun to see pugs explode into different directions to get rolled

Goo guild?
Yeah I don't mind it being challenging, but a boss who drops 665 loot is harder than 685 bosses in Mythic Highmaul? #loltuning
Not to mention my set bonuses are terrible (Brewmaster) so I don't even feel like I'll get much stronger until we kill some Mythic BRF bosses. 2 piece is a little free energy and 4 piece is barely any extra EB since I purify at light a lot
They cost twice as many tickets now I think.
I'm annoyed that all the heirlooms I upgraded to 85 are basically invalidated... lots of justice point farming :x. I guess I did use the majority of them after that though, so it wasn't worthless.

They will cost less if you plan to upgrade.
By that I mean, let's take the Tattered Robe.
Right now it's 110 tickets. Come 6.1, that'll get you the 1 to 90 version.
In 6.1, the robe is 50 tickets (for 1 to 60) and the item to upgrade it to the 1 to 90 version is 100 tickets. 150 total.
Of course, if you don't plan to upgrade them beyond 60 and just want the heirloom mount, then absolutely wait for 6.1
I have always ALWAYS been of the opinion that split tiers suck. Like I get that you want to put some variety in raiding but the raids are already so long now, you could repeat them several times weekly due to difficulty settings, and the first half of the split tier shit is almost always far worse than the second half.
World bosses should have replaced split tiers and just kept it 1 big raid every tier. Highmaul feels so rushed compared to BRF. I had the same issues with the first tier of MoP.

Yeah. Pretty sure me and Keeblerdrow were the only two that played with any sort of frequency. I transferred my rogue off there to where all my toons are via a free transfer like a year or so ago.
Do you mean split difficulty or split raid sections?
Obviously tier itself doesn't drop on HM but the basic idea of having two raids within the same 'tier'. Either with same ilevel or a slight increase. Like having Naxx with EoE and Sarth or Tier 14 being Terrace/HoF.
I don't get it hmm... if you have BRF gears, you don't need to run Highmaul since it's 10 ilvl lower?
Yeah I think you are right but got the base item and upgrade costs flipped. The upgrade tokens are the meat of the price
Invalidated for what reason exactly?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'd assume he means that even if he had not upgraded them, they would all go to 90 as of 6.1 anyway.
Ah yeah. I am in the same boat but got use out of all the heirlooms anyway so not really the end of the world I guess.
Shoulda bought them in 6.0. They were going for like 4k a run towards the end
Do multiples of the same one (or multiples across difficulty tiers) count as separate heirlooms for the achievement? I have 3x 2H axes and 2x staves.

Yeah I got garrosh heirlooms for most specs/classes, but no daggers or feral/guardian weapon. Just means my rogue is going to be combat from 90-100 and my druid might have to boomkin.
Yeah we were selling them on Horde, but some of my toons were ally. And I used my Shaman to get another agi 1hander for my monk instead of a spellpower staff or mace. Oh well
They said only the highest level one will show up in your book, but you can make multiple copies of it.

They'll be available for gold so it isn't so bad. DMF tickets were a poor expenditure and really only viable because of a lack of an alternative anyways.

I have all the Garrosh looms but the offhand book and the shields. Not that you really need those.
Models on those are fairly nice though.

91+, but agreed. Especially with how cheap they are.
Despite loving BRF, I've weirdly found my focus shifted to gold farming this expansion. They kind of shit up the economy, but that's kind of fun? Has me approaching it in new ways. It's also motivated me to get off my ass and leave the garrison so I can run old raids for cloth and trash and whatnot.
Yeah I am going pretty hard on gold making right now as my goal is to buy all the TCG mounts this expac. Only have the rooster so far since that one looks amazing.
They are insanely cheap on the Illidan AH, maybe duped idk, but it's a bit harder to get gold over there. Sometimes can get it from sale runs or guildies

Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
I'm rather fine trying to fight with people who can't learn raid mechanics rather than fighting people who can't learn raid mechanics and can't read patch notes with a free side of undocumented "features".
Spectrals are 275k on Dragonmaw-Mug'thol-Akama, Magic Roosters between 250-300k. Swift Spectrals around 400-500k, depending on seller.
Apparently a Feldrake went for only 110k on the AH a few days ago. Those are still worth 200-250k, from what I've seen.
There's been a bunch up recently on ZJ so I assume shenanigans. But I bought it to use not resell, so idgaf if it's a dupe.

Damn, that sucks. Now I need to find a new guild and server lol
Just took a look at the Gdoc for GAF players and there only appears to be one Alt character on my server Thunderlord. I was hoping to find some fellow players seeing that I recently resubbed without any of my gaming buddies.
Is there a way around this? I heard that there were some merged servers or something like that.
Anyway, I play on weekends and some weekday nights, usually Tuesday and Wednesday (EST). I am currently leveling up my 87 undead shadow priest and would let to dip my toe into some raiding when I get up to it. So if anyone has a guild I can join let me know. I don't want to pay for server changes because I am a fairly casual player.
My battle tag is XceptioN#1283.

Some servers got merged, but that doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. What does matter is CRZ which has been a thing for a long time now and over time the restrictions on it have been loosened to where we are at now. That being I think about the only thing you can't do cross server is mythic raiding or join someones guild.
