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

I'm pretty sure they added cloaks like that back in because people were complaining that they stopped having tiny cloaks.

Most likely, combined with the fact that cloak is the one armor piece that shows that every class/spec uses (every other piece that shows either has a specific armor type or is a weapon) means that nearly any color/texture combo of cloak people could want has been done already. So I guess they figure "want a big cloak, go farm transmog, want a small cloak, here are some for future transmog". I personally don't mind it because I have like 15 pages of cloak transmogs in my appearance tab to choose from (and will always use my legendary cloaks TBH), so whatever cloaks look like now is irrelevant to me, but for someone without a huge transmog repertoire I guess it could suck.

Man this side project to level an alt doing every quest in existence is getting kind of taxing. Figured it would help me learn the lore of WoW a little better, but instead it helped me realize 75% of quests are inconsequential to lore and that I've actually done pretty much every quest already in some fashion, including all the new vanilla zones, despite really thinking I haven't. Ah well, almost done with WotLK at least, I'm one of the minority that absolutely prefers Cata/MoP (especially for questing) to TBC/WotLK so I'm kind of looking forward to revisiting those. Also, I'm kind of surprised how few zones you need to do now to actually level through content. Doing every quest in Borean Tundra and Dragonblight got me to 79 without any rested XP, heirlooms or XP boosts at all, I can only imagine how quick it would be with heirlooms.

Odd, my PVP rewards for WQs reverted to 830 gear.

It's actually better cus I don't have that transmog and I need the blue gems from DEing them but it's still a weird glitch.
 
Finally got my 300 mount achievement and reward. The last one I went for was the 5000 tooth one from Tanaan jungle. It was actually faster to get my hunter from neutral to exalted with the saberstalkers than it would'be been to just farm the teeth on my priest (who's already exalted) due to the total lack of decent cleave/AoE.

Hey Blizzard, can we stop with these tiny ass cloaks?

This could look so cool if it was a normal cloak but I'll never use this bib looking thing.

Guys is it possible to use Legion App to earn gold? Does it require some crazy setup to get it going? I would just like to be able to earn for the token in a month (roughly 100k a month as I'm on a EU server)

Just got my third legendary, this time from an emissary chest. It's Will of Valeera so that's another none-dps one but 5% HP every time I use Feint is still pretty good.

I got the absorb shield neck a few days ago after getting my first one a long time ago, so this is super quick. I still have to wait 12 days to equip a second one and I think I'll use this latest one, but when 7.15 with the change to the neck it might actually be better.

It is possible but kind of random. On my char with full 850 ilvl followers, I get a bunch of gold missions per week which reward ~750g to clear with another 750-900g bonus, I guess it isn't impossible if you have enough 110 toons with max followers to get 100k a month, but it seems a bit rough if you want to do it entirely through the app, since unless you have a ton of Blood of Sargeras banked you would run out of order resources quickly.

Don't think there are any gold making opportunities with the app aside from the gold missions themselves.

Hey guys I have a question, I'm interested in coming back to WoW because they're giving away a free corgi pet, but I've been told that it's not mailed to you and you have to redeem it at a high level area is this true?
Does this mean I will miss out on the pet if I start a new character

I'm doing my daily heroic and I'm noticing that the DH tank is taking as well as doing tons of damage, turns out he's tanking on DPS spec.. wtf lol

Like Vengeance but with DPS build?

No, he was on Havoc spec
It didn't really matter because everyone was stacked and everything died super quick, and as a rogue I could 'tank' stuff as well with all my defensive cds and he couldn't keep aggro anyways so at some point I just started pulling on my own

When you log in you get an achievement for logging in during the anniversary, and you should get a letter in your mailbox. Opening the letter will give you a quest to go to Stormwind (for alliance) and 200 badges. The NPC the quest sends you to sells the corgi for 200 badges.
 
I'm getting around to playing my BM hunter alt and bwuuugh, I still hate how it plays. Hati seems finicky when it comes to attacking, like it seems I gotta actually hit the attack button for him to recognize that yes, the target my primary pet is attacking, and in fact I am currently shooting, is supposed to be fought, get away from my side and get in there you dumb mutt.

Gotta get to 102 and then maybe see if MM or survival clicks for me. I don't like the idea of shelving this alt but ugh.

Honestly I switched to BM recently and find myself doing better DPS and I love the increased mobility. I'm only 835 ilvl but I am pulling really solid single and multi-target DPS, topping most meters (or coming in top 3). For a mostly LFR and Normal raider, this is fine by me.

My biggest problem with Marksman is the cast time on Aimed Shot and the fact that it is not castable while moving. This will change with one of the new legendaries coming, but then it means I need that legendary specifically.

Are there any addons that let you see ilvl on inspection? Found some old one for WoD, but supposedly doesn't work correctly.

edit: Ugh, found it right after posting. Its called O Item Level.

I'm farming so hard to try and get my second legendary. One of our DKs has two on his DK, and two on his Shaman alt. I was pretty salty when he told me that :p

When we do regular mythics to get keys for alts we go with our healer in dps spec, maybe next time we'll have to try 5 dps. Hell last night as Frost I essentially tanked a mythic+7 because our tank had never experienced the Skittish affix...

I bet I could easily solo a heroic as Blood now, if I had a few hours. I wonder how much they are going to bump dungeon difficulty up after Nighthold.

I see, so what would you folks recommend in order to clear 100k a month easiest way possible?

Play the AH. Use Tradeskill master. Craft and sell. Crafted items still have a decent margin.

Honestly the fastest way is to spend some time on /r/woweconomy, learn a few tips and play the AH. It's an upfront time investment, but the best way to make cash in the shortest amount of time possible. I got to about 1.5M gold playing the AH before I completely stopped to focus just on playing and ignored the AH totally.

If you just want to farm and sell, double gatherers do well. My DH is a miner/herber and WQs keep him flush in materials that I could sell if I needed too.

If you have a merged realm, don't forget the trick of using a trial character to get eligible for creating a DH on a new server. Instant 100 that you can also use as a gatherer.

So after my ill informed rant about titanforging and avoidance I finally got a piece of gear that both titanforged and gave me avoidance off of the world boss. Got it on my fresh 110 and the stats are actually good so it is a keeper. Went 4/5 on world boss loot this week.

I'd probably say shelf it. 7.1.5 is taking away what makes MM good, if the changes go through. I also think BM is getting a nerf too, as if it needed it lol.

Sims aren't everything, but MM is pretty much towards the bottom on the recent ones and 7.1.5 will only make it worse.

I'm waiting til the patch comes out to decide whether to stop, but since you're not that far along it'd probably be easier for you, unless you find the class fun to play. Really depends on what you plan on doing.

No you can do it on a new toon. It is in the main capital city, so if you roll a human you can get to Stormwind or roll an orc and walk to Orgrimmar.
 
Every legendary should be a story you can tell!

Well my story is go fuck yourself, game. Just got my 2nd leg on DK. Prydaz. My first was Sephuz. Feels bad.

Numbers are easy to tweak though. They can just as easily bump it back up. Been maining a Hunter since release, so I've been through it all too. We've rarely been the best, but just as rarely been the worst. Not saying there haven't been dark times, but on balance, we've been ok.

Not trying to minimize your frustration. I did stop competitive raiding back in Cata, so eaking out the top DPS spots doesn't matter as much to me anymore as it does to someone running cutting edge heroics..

That's some sort of bug I'm not sure triggered by what. If you release and then resummon your pet, it goes away, until it is triggered again.

That said, I love my BM Hunter. It's simple and I couldn't ask for more.

So, Twins Painful Touch had turned me into a dps beast in Mythic/+. I actually excel at AOE now as a shadow priest and suck at single target (unless I go S2M). Ironic.

This legendary is a perfect example of one that I feel should be baseline. I can't imagine going back to not having this effect. It's changed how I play.

NA token prices now at an all time high and still heading up.

If you mean without playing the game at all, then no. Unlike garrisons, there's no way to get order hall resources from missions, so you will run out of resources fairly quickly if you aren't generating then in game. Makes it harder to make gold on alts that way too. I'm getting a decent amount of gold every day from mine now (usually one mission for about 1200-1500 gold total) which is nice, but it's still nothing compared to the easy garrison money train.

Considering all the toys that give wing and totem and other effects, we're well past time the back slot should be more than just cloaks. Give us rocket packs and wings and sheaths and all sorts of cool things. We have more than enough cloak designs in the game already.

You're right, blizzard absolutely can. The changes are just in PTR and haven't gone live, but it really breaks what makes MM a decent class to play right now, so I'm hoping they tweak it. I miss MoP/WoD MM, but you know.

I'd like to not get caught in the FOTM dps switching, but it's hard to not want to when there's more probability of being benched for optimal composition on fights.

Well, Prydaz is going to be awesome for Blood in 7.1.5. Sephuz is already really nice in mythic+ and is getting substantial buffs.

Got my second screech for the feral hidden appearance today. Hopefully the third and final one doesn't take too long so I can get started on unlocking the other colors for it. I've been purposely not doing many dungeons or world quests so I won't get burnt out when I really grind them out with a hidden appearance.

And I'm really looking forward to when they add that "bad luck protection" for hidden appearances that revolve around RNG.

I thought it was the mail helm one you can buy from the Valarjar dude at revered. I guess they look similar.

Oh you can, I never noticed. Yeah that's a lot easier.

I wish Icy-veins would update its transmog database. There's lot of great equips in Legion I never knew about.
Oh man, I fucking love that Method has now beat Serenity twice.

Didn't Serenity split off from Method because Method wasn't "srs bsns" enough for them?

Yeah you guys don't really know what happened eh

The split was mostly because of disagreements between Sco and Kuznam about the direction of <Method>. Sco wanted to market <Method> and brand it, like a tempostorm kind of thing. Kuznam said he'd rather raid, and had disagreements about how their scheduling and preperation was during wod, so he took quite a few raiders and formed <Serenity> with Pottm.

Sco wanted the $$$, Kuznam wanted the PvE. Sco's having his cake and eating it too, but there's no 'we're better than method' attitude. SMH

what does that screenshot even prove rofl. Koffey was a social that was being a smart-ass about Method's world first while they were raiding. Any guild would kick him, especially after 3 straight days on a boss. OFC people will shit talk, that's what naturally happens after a bad split. No one said it was a separation on good terms. But to generalize one guild because of one screenshot of a social being a smart-ass (who was probably a subscriber that got in), or of Fragnance (who has a history of shittalk) is silly.

It's ok to fanboy one guild over another guys. It's ok I was cheering for a NA finish myself :)

I'm not fanboying anyone, I just find it really funny that Serenity split from Method, shit talked them and then lost twice to the guild they shit talked. I have no horse in the race, I'm just enjoying the schadenfreude that comes from dicks being dunked on by the people they were dicks to.
