For the artifact skins you get from PVP, can somebody explain how the prestige/ranks work as if I were 5yo?
Like the first skin is something like ''prestige level 1, rank 50''. For a 99% PVE player is that an insane amount of work?

They did it to stop the insanely fast 400 score speedruns people were doing

hm
I think it works like call of duty. As in, once you hit level 50, you can 'prestige' again to level up your honor levels again(They patched it so you don't lose the talents, though.)
Ah, that one wraith contributed that much? Huh.
edit: Gah, still no storm fists. Another three days, damn it.
Also, Obliterum going to 855.
Oh, I see what you meant. But some of the most popular videos from as early as days after Vanilla launched were rogue ganking videos, ganking lowbies is not a new thing. As many people rolled on a PvP server in vanilla because they enjoy ruining other people's times as they did because they wanted an actual PvP challenge. Hell, I would argue that MORE people chose a PvP realm to fight unfair battles and attack people while they have the advantage than ever did for any real PvP, even before BGs existed.
And taking my point to mean I want them to remove safe zones from cities is idiotic. When people made their toons on PvP servers, they did so with the understanding that lowbie zones and cities are safe, so you can't change the rules now, and I don't think they should be changed. But similarly, they made their characters knowing that in the world they could be killed at any time, you can't change the rules now and ruin things for people who enjoy killing others who are trying to quest.
Yes, but it isn't like they are combining PvE and PvP realms into one lump, so shards vs single servers argument is irrelevant. And I know people are gonna play with friends/guilds regardless, I acknowledged this already. But you can't change the rules on people who chose a PvP server specifically because they enjoy ganking people trying to complete an attunement quest just because people are annoyed about it despite knowing that is what they were getting themselves into ahead of time. Clearly there are tons of people having a grand old time ganking the shit out of others trying to attune to kara, who are you to say that their fun is not legitimate despite being fully allowed by blizzard and having existed for 10+ years.
Is "tanks going half health or lower on the initial pull until hots start rolling over" a druid problem, a DH squishiness problem, or just a unfortunate combination of both?
Because that was happening a lot on my mythics earlier. After a few seconds when those hots are ticking its no issue but the initial pulls were always butt clenching, even with pre-hots.

Monks don't spike, they're like giant HP pillows. DK's and Demon Hunter's do, and guess what two classes we have as our raid tanks.
Even after the bear nerf?

So, how do you continue the nightfallen stuff? I'm only 3k into revered, please tell me I don't have to do those mythic dungeons, ugh, I don't want to.
Just got my second legendary on my Shaman, I get to replace that fucking garbage neck. So happy. Eye of the Twisting Nether
I don't think the dungeons are required, I think the next step you need to complete Good Suramaritan requires 7k or 8k revered. I finished the questline on Monday and I've never done Arcway on my Shaman.

Anyway to gain faster rep then feeding them? You only get like 75 from each, there is like 3 of them. Going to take a long time doing it this way.
Do World quests in Suramar? The blue ones gives a lot of rep. Like 200-250 each or something, and there's always at least 3 or 4 of them everyday. Then you have Nightfallen(1500) and Kirin Tor(750) emissary rewards that can greatly help too.
Oh and withered training chest rewards.
Just the world quests, their emissary when it pops up and choosing nightfallen rep from the KirinTor emissary quest. And yeah, like Bisnic said the blue World Quests give a ton.

Ok, thanks.
Why did they make those Suramar dungeons mythic? So stupid. Same thing with Karazhan.
Well, it's okay for me cus I'm doing portals but everyone outside keeps dying from shit. It's a matter of git gud but fuck this fight.
I'm just wondering why you draw the line for "you should expect to be killed on a PVP server" at lowbie zones and cities. If you expect to be killed just rolling on the server, you should expect to be killed while playing on the server anywhere. That's what world PVP is all about after all, right?
Their fun is not legitimate. Go play games designed around ganking and griefing if you want to do it. PVP is an afterthought in WOW and it always will be.

lol one of our healers brought their warlock alt for Ursoc
They got the gateway legendary loool

Is it really so hard for Blizzard to make archaeology items at least a BIT useful?
The item for the next two weeks is the Imp Generator, an item level 815 trinket. It sounds kinda neat, my healing and damage spells have a chance to open a portal to Mardum and send a stream of imps at my target.
But I'm level 110 and my trinkets are 850 and 870. I have NO USE for this.
Make it BoA, for christ's sake.
Oh also you gotta survey in front of the Halls of Valor for the last part. With all those mobs. This is fun /s

Ventured into Kara last night and only had time for 2 bosses, Wikkit and Maiden. Holy crap, what a rush! Even with a decent group it was still quite challenging and it felt like we were killing bosses by the skin of our teeth -- a great feeling seldom experienced in modern WoW.
Nothing changed from that video, you can use it as a guide
Ty apathy will watch again. And the account wide attunement?
Edit: raid version of Odyn looks fantastic in the fatboss video

That's a nice combo. I got 885 Appendages from our first or second Il'gynoth kill but my BTI is only 850. I keep rolling on Ursoc in hope of an upgrade.
posted? How to summon Nightbane in Return to Karazhan
basically involves speedruns to each crystal, probably needs high gear and knowledge of the dungeon. He drop 875 loot and the mount
edit: pvp world quests bugged again? I have a 835+ and a 840+ up right now, I have done zero pvp on the druid (or any character really but the druid is the freshest as you know)
edit: ah ha I stand corrected (bellow)

Nah, they said that in 7.1 they would use the same system as the rest of the world quests, rather than being based on honor level.

PvP servers made sense back when servers were pretty balanced across the board but now you have servers where it's 1:10 ratio. That isn't fun and I'm willing to bet if Blizzard showed these ratios on the server select screen many ppl simply wouldn't bother with PVP servers or would just go to the faction that is favored.
I personally quit WoW back during WotLK and I've been on the same server since launch, It's not like I willingly was like "oh neat 1:8.5 ratio! Let me go there! I love the feeling and challenge of mythic +50 when it comes to and leveling/questing!"
But now it's no matter what flight path you land at you're greeted with like 20 members of the opposite faction and there's no balancing, there is no battle. You can't even begin to quest, this isn't a matter of a few dudes ganking you miD quest and if you're skillful you can gank them. We're talking you're going to spend 90% of your time dead b/c you're overwhelmed due to severe server imbalance. It's the equivalent of BGs in which team the game makes it so it's always 3:1 ratio in favor of the opposing team and then telling you it's That's just how it goes.
I have no problem getting ganked mid quest, hell I'll run past enemies and be like "he'll probably try to gank me, I'm ready" but since everyone has the same WQ and your server is imbalanced as fuck that's just broken. I have a chance with one or two ppl ganking me, can't do shit against 10 ppl trucking me, ressing then another group of random ppl trucking me because my server leans heavy in their direction.
Now I use cross realm server add on to hop into groups doing WQ on PVE realms like dawg what.
qft
Sidenote: Kara's really fun, at least the second half. Bottom half Kara is awful, Maidens overtuned, Moroes bugged.
Once you do Curator and more its dope AF

It was never as bad as it is now. There are literally servers out there with a 1:12 ratio.
I know for damn sure my server wasn't this bad back during Vanilla-Wrath

and people complained about Cataclysms trash
Then when?
Sargeras for example, was always heavily Alliance. Illidan, Kiljaedan, heavily Horde. There were always servers that had a 1:12 ratio, if not from Vanilla, then since BC atleast.
