I know it was just put in but don't they usually do NYI rewards? Like sometimes if the quest is eventually gonna have rewards they have placeholders?

That's a great change. Doesn't feel as robotic.
So that's why it's not coming out until August.
I watched it earlier and i hope they do something the same on the ground mounts because right now? when moving through hills and small things the motion makes me pretty sick sometimes it is really weird.
I reckon that'd be a lot harder to do.
Whoops! Thanks for the clarification.
That's actually pretty dope.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I imagine we will be spending much more time afking in Dalaran than in the order halls. You only really seem to be in the halls for specific quest/artifact stuff, and there is much less mission table juggling than garrisons.
Dammit. You are right. My mistake.
That's awesome.
This is what'll have me there on day one lol. Even if the movie overall isn't great, I just want to see the Warcraft universe recreated.

So Blizzard just gave me Warlords of Draenor and some game time for free. Which is funny because I got MoP for free as well + some golden vanity mount over a year ago.
Any tips or anything I should check out?

The level up experience in Draenor is quite fun, although the end game is a bit dull.
I suggest giving it a go and leveling to 100!

The questing experience in WoD is pretty solid. Horde has a strong start in Dreanor with Frostfire but Shadowmoon Valley for the Alliance is even better. Alternate Shadowmoon Valley resonated more than alternate Blade's Edge Mountains, mostly because of the Temple of Karabor. First time seeing that was kind of an "oh shit" moment.

Dungeon entrances will be marked on the map in Legion.
Halle-fucking-lujah.

Some of those responses on Twitter are so cringe-worthy. Having dungeons displayed on the map is a good thing. Do those people prefer alt-tabbing and searching on wowhead or watching a youtube video guide versus having that information in-game?

Yeah...it's almost purely a QoL thing. I mean really.
lol Blizzard just said Brewmaster gameplay on alpha is where they want it
Sad to see such a fun spec ruined
Yeah it's idiotic. That's a great change, like most UI/QoL changes over the years
"2 hour trade window for loot drops?? blizz catering to casuals give us vanilla!!!" lol

Always funny to read those types of things. These people would die if they tried to play Ultima or EQ.
Reddit posted something about Legion that seems like it could be fun. Reminds me of something they did in Wrath. Not sure if it's considered spoilers, it's not story related but seems to point at the pre-event.

My friend (who is also a brewmaster main) was talking to me about this a while back and I looked into it and... wtf. I don't understand what they are going for with that spec. It looks straight up unfinished, like just some random buttons with no real skill interactions or choice on how you play (in the context of moment to moment action). Frankly I don't even think it looks that different from the dps portion of Mistweaver (especially Blackout Strike what the heck kind of ability is that) which is messed up considering that is a healing spec.
The actual confusing part of it all though is looking back at the last 3 or 4 feedback threads I have literally never seen 1 positive post about the spec, everyone hates it. The complaints are all over the place but they seem to boil down to the fact that the gameplay feels really passive.
Yea it really sucks. I think we've lost 6 or 7 active abilities from our rotation and our only self healing is random orbs that rarely proc. Went from a self-sustained, high APM spec to a completely healer dependent spec with large GCD gaps and no meaningful buttons. It's so frustrating, I feel like the entire Legion tanking philosophy is awful
The expac might be great for dps/healers, and I hope it is, but tanking is just awful right now. It feels like almost a full reversal of active mitigation for Brewmaster, and neutering it heavily for some of the other specs

Reading up on the changes to Monk in Legion, trying to see the changes to Brew and instead am learning I am a terrible Mistweaver because I don't stance dance and Fistweave.
I just can't get over Blackout Strike. Like that is bad game design as far as I am concerned. A button on a 3 second cooldown that does damage. It doesn't cost energy, it doesn't give energy, it doesn't give any sort of little buff or anything, and it doesn't interact with other skills. I mean I guess there is an artifact trait that makes it a not great looking active mitigation but still... It just looks like a skill that they left there by accident when designing the spec.

I can't get over the fact that Monks have teal as the class color. Just cracks me up for some reason.
Had a look at my sorcerous AH history for the past 4 days (?).
Bought:
Sorcerous Fire - 2123 items - paid 706g - average 33s 26
Sorcerous Air - 1123 items - paid 466g - average 41s 51
Sorcerous Water - 896 items - paid 365g - average 40s 80
Sold (so far):
Sorcerous Earth - 1870 items - received 6788g - average 3g 83s
You're essentially spending 1:1 + 4 alch mats to craft the Sorcerous Earth but getting a huge profit back.
From my short AH history, I haven't seen anything this easy before. You do get a fair profit from those upgrade items in BS and Insc (for example) but they always feel risky.

That's neat. That is on live now? Sorry if being dumb there.
Seems like it could be good for a mess around.
It's most likely for the pre-expansion event that should launch a few weeks before Legion's end of August release, so no it's not on live yet; the footage is from alpha.

Had a .5% wipe on Mythic Manno last night and then ended up not killing it. I wanted to rage so hard, its not even that bloody hard of a fight. I love my guild but jesus christ shit like this drives me insane.
I feel you. Try being a tank on Xhul... 15% wipe because the people kiting the void adds got too excited and blew everyone up.
All I have to do is taunt and shockwave, so seeing others fail ('cept the other tank) fail while I'm doing something mindnumbingly boring is absolutely horrendous.
I said it just before/after Xmas and got slated for it, but I'll say it again - WoW (PvE) isn't a hard game on an individual level. Mechanically, the downtime you get paired with knowing exactly what's going to happen next makes it one of the easier things you can play.
The Paladin one looks pretty much exactly what I imagine a light-fantasy Paladin looking like.
The Priest one looks fucking terrible.
Hunter would look great with helm off.
