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

I'm sure this is a hard thing to test and fix, since it is pretty difficult to replicate (never once happened to my warrior), but at least I think in the meantime they should add a jump back to Skyhold on that hill where you end up when you d/c, that would help at least a bit, make the bug less punishing when it happens.

Yeah but for the longest time you could never get the Tides quests until you finished the zone. Glad they finally just made them available. Never touching that zone ever again.
RIP my guild?
A while back we got this really good player and through him, a bunch of his friends came into the guild who were REALLY good. I knew one day those people were gonna quit since that shit always happens and turns out that's exactly what's gonna happen.
We might rebuild but our progression is pretty much done for a while, if not for forever.
I'm also not the type to jump ship and join a new guild. Been in this guild for all it's iterations since DS but we've never been a great guild since we always had some dead weight but with that group that joined, we honestly didn't have a single bad player in the group anymore.
Oh well.

Well, actually, this guild was a guild merger since we server transfered from our dead server to Mal'ganis. So that turned out well.
This was just more of a group of people who knew each other joining one guild, cus a lot of them were either not raiding or left their guild to join ours. Now they're going off and making their own guild.
I knew it was gonna happen since, well, that kinda stuff usually doesn't end up well and these particular group never use the guilds discord and there was a clear disconnect between the guild leadership and them. They're all good people but you could tell they have a different mindset than the other officers.
Yea, I think any time that your raid team is made up of a group of people who know each other that are >= 20% of the raid, it usually ends up bad in the end (unless of course they are the core forming the main guild). From the time I spent as a guild officer/leader from Vanilla through Cata, always the most iffy times were when we took ~4-5 people that knew each other at once, because inevitably if one became unhappy all would leave, creating a sudden large hole in the roster.
Hope you can keep something going or find some stability, shitty situation.

Agree with this. Love the DK campaign and the order hall is cool.

I know it's probably all fake, but I can't help but get excited again...hahaha, fuck.
There are a few things in there that have already been directly denied by blizzard, one example being the fake leak says Artifacts will be carried over when blizz has said several times that won't be the case. I do always get hyped at the idea of a new expansion though, but personally, I think Northrend is the last place I want to return to (except a full Azjol'Nerub expansion hah) and if Dalaran was the capital city again I would jump (my character) off a cliff. I really can find very little in this fake leak that actually sounds good, so I guess I'm glad its so incredibly fake.

I think if Blizzard were to revamp any older area of the game for the next expansion it would be the 1-60 Vanilla/Cata leveling experience. But rather than just updating old questing zones for low level toons with a few new zones for current content like they did for Cata, they'd have the level scaling and some equivalent of invasions and the world quest system to drive all players around nouveau Azeroth.

Val'sharah is by far my most hated invasion scenario.

Why because there are tons of mobs with 12 million health that do a ton of dmg and never stop following you?
Yea, no idea why it is so much worse than all the other ones. It's the only one I do as tank spec, since I can just tank all the garbage that everyone inevitably aggros, and I can survive the top of the tower guy's slash attack and the puddles on the final boss. All the mechanics in that one are so much more punishing than the other invasions, for absolutely no reason.
Yep, leaks are always fun and it gets the blood flowing.
I love being a tank, had trouble before but bear tank? Fuck most fun i had in this game for ages.
I tried all tanks now..Warrior,DK,DH and tried Monk but overal i prefer druid.
Very weird i was dps only back years ago, seeing how easy it is to do raids or dungeons or even WQ for it makes it up for just being just that.

Strange thing is you look at WOL, and Warriors are the best both for DPS and survivability on average... but only for the top half of parses. I wouldn't think player skill could make that much of a difference, because all of the tanks are pretty simple to play compared to how they were.

there's a lot wrong there, and "switching between old and new zones" sounds like a pipe dream. sounds like a phasing nightmare. wouldnt it be nice to be stuck in lvl 70 northrend for a few hours when you're trying to level to 120?
lol
if there's a return to Northrend, it will just be "new zones" IMO and maybe world quests unlocked for the old zones once you hit max level layered on top.

The Val'sharah invasion is worse because no one wants to clear the trash in the second phase. I swear that section would go faster if people just played it 'properly'.
Everyone tries to make a bee line for the crystals to lower the shield on the tower entrance, draws an absurdly huge mob train into the tower, often up to the boss, die repeatedly and fail at corpse running back. I can't count the number of times I've been trapped in that second phase of that instance with people who repeatedly fail, to the point where clearing the mobs would have been faster. The opposite of min/max'ing occurs almost every single time. It's brutal.
Yeah. I was in Nighthold and was suddenly getting ridiculous lag. Exited and tried to log back in and nothing doing.

Was doing the invasion on my mage and the scenario wouldn't pop. Made the mistake of logging out.
Going by the schedule that might be the only one I can do this week. At least I got the WQs finished so it counts for the emmi.

What an absurd post, "Old revamped zones redesigned with flying in mind" yeah this was always the case in Northrend. Also Blizz has said that Artifact weapons wouldn't carry over. Why would old Northrend need to scale to 120, it would just be in the past in terms of gameplay like it is now. And what is the point of making DKs start at 108 now? Why would old Northrend have world quests? There is more BS but I don't want to go through it all.

Prydaz in the mail on my Brewmaster,
FACK. Wanted the OP chest.
FACK. Wanted the OP chest.
Whelp, those guys ended up leaving the guild. I guess no mythic Gul'dan kill and most likely no more raiding.
Guess the way I understand it is that our shitty offtank got permabanned, and then he got unbanned so he was going to come raid again, and the other groups thought that it was shitty to allow him back since he was cheating and got banned to begin with. Also, he was shitty so it was a good opportunity to replace him but the officers didn't want to do that to him since he has been in the guild since ToT.
We had a damn good group, too. Been with the guild since DS and it was never this good and our progression was never this quick. Damn shame that it all went to shit because of a ban.

I can kill everything at the top on my brewmaster and always tell my group to ignore the train. They often don't anyways, oh well.
The chest is going to be way less OP in 7.2.5. Right now, I want Prydaz more(I have ring, helm, and trinket).

I often get placed in pure dps queues where there is no tank and no one seems to have any ability to ditch aggro. I use Greater Invisibility and just sort of have to wait for the other to eventually make it to the top of the tower.
As mentioned before. it's always a double edged sword taking a group of friends in to your guild. I stopped playing, but my wife continued to play with our guild while they took in 5 very good players.I told her that it would end poorly for the guild, and that they would inevitably leave, crippling any raiding they were doing at the time. Sure enough, shit hit the fan one night and one by one they left the guild...
Lmao. Yeah, it sucks. Don't get why it's such a pain compared to the other invasions.

After more than a decade of enjoying the game, I will abandon it with a bittersweet taste. I really like and enjoy the game, but the AP/WQ/M+ grind that I think is required for Mythic raiding has burned me out. I'm trying to end this expansion on a high note before saying goodbye to World of Warcraft.
The game has grown beyond me, or I've grown beyond the game, but I can't justify dedicating so much time to it doing stuff I hate to be able to raid the way I want.
It is and has been a nice ride. But it is time.
The max isn't a thing relative to the base iLvl; the max is a fixed value currently defined - IIRC - as equivalent to Mythic Nighthold gear +15.
What the base iLvl does is affect how hard it is to *get* to that level; it's much easier for an 890 to get to 905 than it is for an 860 to do so, so you were still hugely fortunate!

I don't think I'll ever get those drakes from Malygos. RNG hates me. I've done it 5x on 4 alts and got shit. It's so frustrating that every mount in-game is so impossibly hard to get.
