Live, it's pretty ridiculous low level. It's more stupidly mobile than warrior. I'm just wondering how many dumb things I could do with Dragon Kick and engineer tinkers in more vertical zones.
I don't want to even look at the official forums, the sour grapes on reddit were enough. It's not something I'll personally use, don't use Facebook, but I get why Blizzard would want to use Facebook over something like Twitch or Hitbox (if that's even around anymore). With Twitch they're reaching the audience they already have, with Facebook they're potentially reaching millions of people who aren't existing Blizzard customers and likely don't play games. Enough of Blizzard's existing customers will basically become free advertisers for Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm and probably even WoW on FB and reach an insanely large audience. Facebook also probably pushed a mountain of cash in front of the right people to help make this happen. I imagine this will have about as much of an effect on me as Twitter integration did, none at all.

Well no one gives a crap about alchemy and it's eays as fuck to level. It's the one I got rid of
I was thinking about dumping it, but I want to see how they handle xmutes with the new bop crafting item.

3+ hour queue for coliseum, WHAT?
I even got an LFR Archimonde done and dusted in that time cause it had a DPS satchel.

If you're not playing peak hours on a weekend, don't even try.

When it first hit live, people figured out a way to stack procs in such a way that you basically had an endless Spinning Crane Kick. So, like, you'd be out in Hellfire and off in the distance you'd see a group of monks pirouetting at high speeds across the land.

Yep. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
He's a streamer and such. He was the guy that hosted the Q&A last BlizzCon.
Saw him for the first time when Blizzard had him "interview" a developer when they announced the beta. He comes off as so cringey and gross, I can't stand him.
Dunno why Twitch nerds being socially awkward would surprise you
That's not socially awkward, that's incompetent and at best juvenile. He makes a living as a performer, he was brought to the event to do a job that involves interacting with people, and not for the first time. He's not socially awkward. Saying socially awkward is just a way to imply he somehow shouldn't know better or be held responsible for his behavior.
Now should we be surprised that a streamer tried to be shocking or pandered to his audience? No, that's pretty much what they do all the time. But that's not because they're "socially awkward." It's because as often as not they make a living performing as idiots, and think they can get away with anything (and often do).
I mean, I was going to call him a neckbeard NEET, but I was trying to be charitable.
Yup. Watched a vid a month or two back with one of the Blizzard designers, and there's just something about it that irked me... Wasn't sure if he was there to give an honest interview to go down on Blizzard.
He was annoying as shit in that video. All of his humor was super forced and not actually funny at all. I have never seen him on twitch so maybe that's his thing but he's not very appealing to me.
So far, my only revelations with a Legion main have been 'not DK, not Paladin and not Monk'
I mean, he is a Blizzard game streamer/video producer

The official Blizzard Legion beta key giveaway/contest ends today, June 7, 23:59 CEST. 5200 keys will be sent out. Good luck to those who entered.

Jesse Cox was absolutely terrible. Besides the absolutely gross and inappropriate masturbation comments (it wasn't even a question) to Paula Patton, he kept speaking over people in the interviews too. Like when they were talking to Duncan Jones and Duncan Jones was trying to say how well the movie was doing around the world and the record-breaking presales in China but Jesse Cox kept trying to speak over him to say the exact same thing.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I've always been baffled by Jesse Cox having any sort of fan following. I remember hearing about him as this popular streamer or whatever years ago, and was immediately turned off after hearing his voice for literally like 3 seconds. I just don't get it. Like, being physically able to listen to him talk for any amount of time seems like a superhuman feat to me.
He was part of the Total Biscuit and Husky Starcraft group. I think that's how he got to be well known.
I don't watch streamers so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Furthermore, this doesn't excuse his behavior.
But I'm sure he'll show up in another three weeks to do his thing and Blizzard will pretend it never happened.

Passed 160 attempts, 80%+ chance to have seen Mimiron's Head this week. Pretty sure that this is my most farmed mount at this point. Pretty unlucky. I just want to have it so I can move on to focusing on other mount farms.

Tried for the Voidtalon after the reset, but there were multiple people in several zones all server hopping. I finally gave up.
Dark Portal in Blasted Lands. Should have a quest sending you there.

Which will eventually lead to your starter Farmvil, I mean Garrison. My god have mercy on your soul.

Garrisons are boring but fuck do they make you money. I needed some heirlooms and upgrades for a toon on my new server that two toons with proper garrisons on my old one were able to provide in no time flat. Logged into 1200 gold from follower missions on one. I will sort of miss that in 7.0.
Can't say I will to be honest. I'm looking forward to being free of it and just logging on and playing the game. And I say this as someone who enjoys the follower system quite a bit actually, but it's very poorly designed because of how it can be abused.
Unless you're a really hardcore mount collector, just buy pets with coins and flip them. They are each 10-15k depending on the server. A strider recolor isn't worth 15k+

I'm not even doing garrisons right now, so heavy on the "sort of". The money and profession catch-up mechanics were nice but that's about it. I'm trying to avoid Draenor by finally getting to and sort of hiding in MoP until Legion comes out.
I can buy 10 store mounts & get 300 within the week... So depressing.
