Can confirm that it's not possible to get the movie items without a sub.
The achievement doesn't get unlocked until the box is opened.
edit: maybe I'm mistaken. I could have sworn that it waited until I opened my boxes.

That doesn't seem right. I see people getting the achievement just logging in.

Another week without a beta key. The RNG Gods truly hate me.
Only been mythic raiding for 3 weeks and I've already hit my 'I don't want to raid tonight' mode. It's not even the raid or the team. It's just.. I don't want to do WoD anymore. I really don't. I thought raiding might help alleviate that, but it doesn't.
And I'm subbed up til October.
And I'm subbed up til October.
I got that way after Cataclysm. More like half-way through it, but you get the idea. Something about it just stopped being appealing. I don't know if it was gameplay changes or boss encounter design, but I just fell off.
That's an interesting poll he posted too: "Should buying Legion be required to play Legacy?"
IMO yes, I think Legacy servers should be a premium.
You and me both. Sub'd since vanilla, raided every tier - mythic, too. It sucks.
In EQ you actually have to pay for a special subscription for their legacy/timebox servers
I'd pay the standing sub, but I wouldn't pay an additional sub/premium.
Edit: I actually think that MORE people (outside of the Nostalrius base) would be inclined to pay if Vanilla were an official/supported/bug-tested thing.
I'm sorry, I'm not following you here. The question was whether they would become rare drops on prepatch and they said that no, they'll become rare drops once Legion launches.

Well at 100, you aren't really returning, you've hit end-game.
Here's a good guide What to do before the legion pre-patch
Another guide on gearing when you hit 100
http://www.wowhead.com/guide=2590/gearing-up-when-you-hit-100
For gear your best bet is to complete Tanaan and pick up upgrades there. The quest starts in your Garrison.
Also on Wednesday Timewalking dungeons become available for 1 week. These are old dungeons that drop higher level gear and your first run of the week gives you tokens that is enough to get a bunch of 675 gear.

I was actually going to start doing it today. Is it bad?
It's just boring.

I've been doing archaeology pretty regularly since Cataclysm, but the Mists and Warlords achievements for archaeology are some bullllshiiiiit.
I'm also never going to get that Tol'Vir mount and pet because the digs are ONLY in Uldum and they fixed the glitch where you could get them to spawn there.

Blizzards insistence of saying "it's rare now" instead of just saying "drop rate was lowered".
Yep, I would agree there. I don't think they should be selerated from the base game. The best implementation in my opinion would be to have them as a choice on the server selector.
Is there a difference I'm missing? Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but they are making it a rare drop by lowering its drop chance.
I really wish they'd say if they were going to let you do easy upgrades through apexis crystals on your ring during the pre-launch patch like they did for MOP.
Because I'd get all my alts their ing if I could easily upgrade them. But if I can't, then I'm not as bothered by the LFRing as I am by having to run all the mythics on every character every week.

What? You just turn in the completed crates in either Ashran or Vale for boxes of Tol'Vir fragments. That's how I farmed for the mount. Got the Crawling Claw in Cataclysm.

Yeah but I use those crates for the arch missions which give you Draenor fragments.

Celebrating this is premature.
There are only 6 sets datamined for the most part for each class. I think mage has an extra one probably as a Nightborne NPC set.
Warlock Tier 19
DK tier 18
notice how each class has a "red" and "blue" set in there somewhere.
Unless LFR and Normal share a color or something, there isn't a set dedicated to LFR. There's Alliance/Horde PvP, Normal, Heroic, Mythic/Elite PvP.
More than likely these are just placeholder items for the LFR set with different visuals and set bonuses yet to come. HFC LFR had the same amount of gear and the same types of items dropped from each boss.
I wouldn't get my hopes up.
There are tooltip screenshots of T19 items with the Raid Finder tag.
LAUGHTREY

Yeah, and
Actually, I just checked. The tooltips change correctly on the beta but the LFR and Normal gear share the exact same item appearance, offset or not. They just haven't gotten around to making these items LFR versions yet.

It gave me a skeletal velociraptor mount, so it can't be all that bad.

Is that what the kids call it these days!
Its possible they'll have the same appearance though. I believe they did the same back when they introduced the 4th difficulty in MoP.

Still more fun than fishing. Not that is saying much.

I was thinking about that too, but that was a weird experimental time where they added flex and kept is separate from normal and heroic. It eventually evolved into Normal, Old-Normal became heroic, and Old-heroic became mythic. I think technically flex was meant to be as difficult as normal.
Whenever there's been LFR with the tier sets in Dragon Soul and MoP, they were at the very least recolored versions of the Normal/Heroic tier sets.
I just find it a little early to be celebrating or mad at this, because they haven't said anything one way or another.
Could be that LFR and Normal are identical aside from ~25ish ilevels, but it'd be super strange for them to renege on this so far in that direction.
It's more tedious than fishing due to all the flying around, but yeah, not much between the two.
I'm gonna try PvP on the beta if anyone is up for it. Might end up going back to PvP & achievement whoring in Legion.

Fishing can be relaxing. Archaeology just feels tedious.
Fishing is great while watching sports, just kick back and fish for an hour or so while watching the afternoon games. Especially early on in an expansion when the fish are actually worth something.
Fishing at nights in Elwynn Forest is probably the most relaxing thing in the game, at least for me.
Oh hell yeah.
I actually figured that stuff was all just placeholder but when you open the new Wardrobe and look at the tier sets it shows 4 different ones with the same drop location (for leather anyway, didn't bother looking at other classes). For example in this pic you can see 4 different colors of the Demon Hunter hat (mythic and 3 not mythic) and the drop location listed for all 4 is Dragons of Nightmare in the Emerald Nightmare.
That doesn't confirm anything as all that could change in a build but that is how it is displayed in the wardrobe for leather.
I agree that a lot of the reactions are premature. That said, when you look at how rewarding the rest of Legion is it does make sense that they'd bring back tier to LFR. Why not when you're also giving people boe legendaries and a chance at mythic ilvls from quests.
Legion legendaries are BOP. Also even if the models are back to being normal raid models it doesn't make the gear good. It's currently in the dungeon journal listed as ilvl 835 and Heroic dungeon gear is 825. Could be placeholder but that is in line with WoD heroic dungeon -> LFR Highmaul so I am inclined to believe it. It's going to be very easy to get gear better than that, even mythic dungeons without using a keystone drop 840 gear. You can upgrade your class order hall set to 840 (via class hall resource dump) and you can probably complete that before all of LFR ever rolls out. Not to mention World Quests and such which as you point at can upgrade to very high ilvls.
Actually think LFR is going to be utterly pointless outside of transmog in Legion, regardless of what the gear looks like. Seems too easy to get better elsewhere.
