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

I always thought that VotW had almost no context compared to other dungeons. I made a DH alt and can now see why.

Eh its pretty straight forward, I thought.

Now, DH-related, the second boss in Black Rook Hold, that one is pretty out of context. Even with teh summary in the journal, I was all "why on earth is the daughter of Ravencrest a demon hunter?" Best I could figure she was a risen spirit or something that gave her soul to the Legion for reasons.

Then I was doing my DH alt and she's part of the (I think havoc) questline. Oh. That...may've been some useful knowledge.

Quick question. Is Vault+10 keystone better left expired?

Tyrannical is easier than Fortified here supposedly but I doubt I can heal through it at 865.

Bleh. I was soloing the Tarecgosa (caster legendary from Cataclysm) quest, Delegation specifically, and I screwed up on the summoned boss, killed him too fast (with just melee, even, as caster) and it broke the script and thus I can't loot the staff.

Gotta wait for tuesday to reset.

So I'm lvling a Monk and brewmaster is pretty fun so far! Looking forward to tanking some instances at 110 and trying out the other two specs, especially healing.

Every spec in Monk is pretty fun, although I personally miss having a DPS stance as a Mistweaver. Even if fist weaving wasn't exactly a thing it was handy having a dps stance and being a Windwalker-lite for PVE and then switching to a pure healing stance for group content. That said Mistweaver seems to be better off in Legion as a pure healer.

Brewmaster is stupid fun though and Windwalker is pretty ridiculous right now.

1.2 million AP away from the 5% damage trait in Arms spec. Excited more than I should be probably. It is no Marvel vs. Capcom 4 but what are you going to do.

Jeez, after transferring my main over to a PvE server and going back to my alt who is still on a PvP serverr, the experience is night and day.

Went to do the 2 Kirin Tor quests, and right when I zone back in from finishing it, a druid is already trying to kill me.

After spending some time in the Elite part of Suramar I can see the problems with it, layout wise and density wise when it comes to see-through mobs and enemies in general. It's too packed and too compartmentalized. I still like the city but the Elite area feels kinda like a big fuck you.

Is there a way to stop the timer deciding to show itself and open the entire quest log in the process when you're doing mythic plus? that shit is so annyoing

My girlfriend got both the Timewalking dragon and Invincible this month. I'm fucking jealous considering how I do more runs of their dungeons/raid than her. Ugh. At least I got the fox mount and she don't, mwahaha... -_-

So, no new Kirin Tor world quests today, heh? Good job, Blizzard.

Arent new WQs showing up at 10-11am EST usually? Not sure how it is on your timezone. :p

Finally a third Kirin Tor WQ popped up in EU (in Azshara and not one of those awful flying ones... well it's still a flying one but the bubble is fine). Now to hope tomorrow there will be a fourth. I maintain they fucked up, whoever designed the change needs to get a talk. It's fine if they don't want Kirin Tor WQ to be around when there is no Kirin Tor emissary. It's fine if they don't want Kirin Tor Emissary quests to be up too much, but damnit when one is up, the minimum number of WQs to complete it need to be up too.

Yeah I need to get my other 2 weapons. Is there a good mod for Brewmasters? You know, to keep track of the buffs. Or maybe a weakauras profile would be better. The hardest part so far is keeping track of when to use the two brews.

This right here.

I am seriously getting burnt out on this game. All the stupid bugs and shit like this just grates on me. Getting stuck in combat that isn't even fixed with an ALT-F4 (the only way I can exit the game) and relog for a half hour was the end of the line for me. It is clear they don't have the staff to maintain this game any longer. The amount of redic bugs and convoluted mess of systems has me just about done, I can handle rote, repetitive gameplay but when I have to battle bugs and other such nonsense I am out.

I could have sworn early on there was a safety mechanic in place that if an emissary quest was up, there would always be enough world quests made available to complete it. I say that because in my early days of doing Nightfallen emissary quests, I had very little unlocked in the zone, so only 2-3 would show up, but when I finished them another seemed to pop up. I also saw quests disappear from my list after I turned in the existing related emissary quest for other factions. Maybe they broke/removed that mechanic? Or I am crazy and it never actually existed.

This right here.

I'm leaning this way as well. Been away for a week for all of Thanksgiving and a part of me doesn't want to go back. I don't think it's a matter of staffing, I think they've just decided to push as much content as fast as possible, and that means bug fixing and testing gets left by the wayside. I understand why they are doing it that way, but this is by far the buggiest I've played this game since Vanilla, and it really does get tiring after a while.

I think I ended up using NugComboBar for the brews and grabbed the weakaura from wowhead for the uptime of Ironskin brew. That covered most of my Brewmaster needs.
 
I went and visited the Rogue WoW forums to look for some advice. Didn't find what I was looking for but I sure did find something!

I don't even know what happened to Rogues that made everyone upset.

All specs are pretty boring to play for Rogue, although unlike many other classes every spec is very PvE viable. They definitely don't shine in PvP anymore though...

I find Outlaw fun but I wish I just had a little bit more control over Roll the Bones.

But apparently Rogues were nerf'd in a recent hot fix.

Yeah Roll the Bones needs to rework percentages. Getting a 1 Roll should not be common. It should be the uncommon to rare circumstance where you are forced to reroll. Having to fish for a 2+ five or more times in a row just plain sucks. It's no fun.

Okey I fucked it up and need some advice. So this week's world boss drops the Frost Hidden artifact but you need artifact knowledge 4 to get it. Problem is I killed him with artifact knowledge 3 and then realized my mistake, I will get the next AK level tomorrow if I rekill the world boss will he drop the skin or I am fucked?

So... for some reason completing 200 WQs with one hidden artifact unlock the 200 WQs skin for the other 2 artifacts. I only did it on my fire mage(which got the hidden skin from Suramar mobs), yet also got the 200 WQs appearances on my frost & arcane staves, despite never getting their original hidden skin.

Intended?

I think you're out of luck, but might as well give it a shot anyway. No harm in trying.

Nah its a bug but one they seem to not care enough to fix.

- Buy seals (coin) in Dalaran
- Do world boss, use coin on world boss
- Do WQ with gear rewards and emissary
- Do a bit of heroics
- Obliterum 1-2 pieces to get into LFR range
- LFR
- Start Mythic-0 group (get friends to help)
- Use keystone from M-0 to get carried in Mythic+

Thanks. Hopefully I'll be LFR geared by reset :D

Did they hotfix the Kirin Tor emissary stuff? It shows me as having done only 1, yet I can turn it in. I'm definitely sure I didn't do more Kirin Tor quests yesterday (since there were only 3), and I only just now logged on so I didn't do any today.

There were two profession ones outside the Citadel but those were labeled Court of Farondis.

edit: Logged in on my priest who didn't do those profession quests (don't have them) and also shown as complete. Huh.

edit: Ok I'm like 99% sure I haven't done a single Kirin Tor world quest on my monk but I'm showing as completed. The hell...

edit: Yup, hotfixed.

When they hot fixed the drops on this Shamans that had already killed the boss that week were not able to back and loot the Enhance skin. So I imagine if you've already killed once, that's it.

But IIRC, Shamans were able to get it by filing a ticket, so I'd recommend trying again once you have the knowledge and then filing a ticket.

Regret subbing this last month,I logged once this week, tonight to do a quick EN with my friends, didnt even particulary want to but I wouldnt leave them hanging. Will probably take a break once this month is up.

Actually apparently you don't have to do any right now, just log in and you get it automatically. Its a temp fix for now.

Doesn't seem to be the case, I was able to turn it in for the 3 characters that did the WQs but not for my fourth character that didn't do it.

[edit]

They need to hotfix their hotfix cus it's not working like that right now.
 
Maybe also hotfix the Like the Wind WQ out of the game, thanks

hopefully this makes wondrous wisdomball price tank because everyone in my guild is just auto completing it on 10 alts

Worked for me since like I said above I'm very sure I didn't do any of the Kirin Tor quests on my monk but it was already completed. May have to relog.

It's nice that they can hotfix things on the fly now, but honestly I think it has made them much more likely to push buggy content out now because they think they can fix it faster. And most of the time their "fixes" have been bandaids like this one or don't happen at all.

I'm a little confused about the amount of people who were legitimately super mad when the Kirin Tor WQ came up and there were only 2 quests available. Even if it takes 3-4 days to complete the Emissary is that really a big deal? I guess if you didn't want to do any other Emissaries at all or something, or were planning to leave and be away for exactly 4 days after Kirin Tor came out... When I did mine and I saw only two I went "oh well, I'll see tomorrow", never even factored in my mind to even care slightly about this. I understand the people that were mildly confused, but mad? There's no rule that says the emissary HAS to be completed in one day... It was a mild inconvenience at best (that became a mild convenience for alts now that you don't have to do any hah)

They're obviously supposed to be completed in one day since that's been the case since day one and they went as far to hotfix it so you didn't have to wait 4 days to do it. No Kirin Tor dailies even came up today, so if we got unlucky, we wouldn't even be able to complete it.

I actually saw one new one, in Azsuna, Nar'thalas Academy. The Power of Flight or whatever (the one with the flying bubbles). That wasn't up yesterday.
