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

Which breed is that? I have like no Magic guys. My dragons are my Magic nukers.

There's a pet family called "Magic". It's your elementals and aberrations, mostly. They're squishy all around with little to no defensive abilities.

Edit: Or did I completely misunderstand your question :p

No no, which Falcosaur er... species? I assume all the Falcosaurs have different requirements or do they all want Magic friends?

We have a few players who pretty much only log in to raid, and it's been raining orange for them the last two weeks.

I quickly did some Ask Mr. Robot this morning before I left. I don't know if I was disappointed or not to find out that not a single piece of recommended gear is left for me from EN, aside from mythic/titanforged versions of what I have (we haven't done mythic yet). So much crap in there has Mastery. Back to mythic+ I guess.

We will be tackling a Nightbane run tonight. Any suggestions on videos to watch? I'm not worried about the boss itself, just the speedrun.

I skimmed Slootbag's video and in particular how they handled the spider room was of interest to me. Remains to be seen what kind of pulls we can handle, though.

We watched Asmongold's to get us ready. Also, the boss was far harder than the speed run for us.

The boss is harder than the speed run, especially for the healer.

hardest part of speedrun is getting to the first crystal, after that it's pretty straight-forward

nightbane ignite soul will eat your butts, recommend voice com for this

I tell the dps to call out if they have it. That fight is way too chaotic to find it yourself.

Our healer is amazing. After +10 tyrannical Wrath of Azshara I fear nothing.

Interesting though, looking forward to a tough 5 man boss that doesn't feel like it was just an untested piece of crap.

Have her play on your account.

Really happy with my latest transmog.

I wish Hunters had more neutrally green gear. You'd think the ranger class would have more camo but no. It's all flaming skulls and and gas demons and whatever the fuck.

Yeah, I'm not really happy with any of the mail sets for Hunters. I wanted to go something engineer themed but its goggles and weapons, none of the armor fits. So I just have some super plain transmog going (that I actually like) because I can't find a set that I like.

the app is showing me world quests up that arent in game, I even relogged and changed characters. Quite annoying since it was supposed to be gear lol.

anyone had that happen?

Phantom World Quests.
I don't have the app, but I was in game and I had a world quest not on the map be up and hand me gear. I've also had World Quests showing on the map but not be up when I was at the spot.

I play my mage like some kind of Stormwind guard who one day said "Fuck melee combat, let's learn spells". I rarely see mages using this set lol. It's all heroic T11 or T12 these days because of "Ooh Fire set for fire mage".

I love that it looks like your character is saying that caption.

Last Falcosaur quest before the mount and it's...

...defeat 3 pet world quests with your Falcosaur and 2 magic pets. Well fuck.

...luckily I've got a level 25 Plushie and Rocko is up. Suck it, Blizzard.

I...don't think that's the last before the mount.

Because I had that one, and then the next day had another that asked me to kill a raid boss (it works in LFR).

And I said this previously, but one of the four falcosaurs (the direbeak, I think) asks you to kill Krosus in Nighthold, so that's locked beyond the new year.

(And yes, the other falcosaurs all ask you to do specific team compositions for pet battles. One is with two mechanicals, one with two water, and not sure what Bloodgazer wants yet)

How does everyone find new guilds these days?

I started playing this time with the same guys I have historically played with since back in TBC, only once again the guild has dissolved. People just weren't turning up for HCs so some of my friends have jumped ship to another server to a guild run by a friend of a friend or something. Everyone who hasn't has either dialled back (e.g. one guy just levelling an alt casually on the new server) or quitting altogether.

I don't really want to stop because I realised I only played with these guys once a week when I was joining the Wednesday night raids anyway, when I finally decided to come along to the additional HC progression was when people started no-showing and it fell apart.

I'm Horde on Kazzak, what I really need is a guild who'd be happy just to let me jump into normals/HCs (was 3/7HC before it fell apart) whenever I'm free, I've never been a "hardcore" raider or really been able to set aside nights to say I can definitely raid until closer to the time...

It's the last one. I've already had the raid boss kill. I looked up the chain on WoWHead.

You're maybe confusing it with "defeat 3 of <wild species X> with your Falcosaur and 2 <pet type>". This is one is "defeat 3 world pet quests with your Falcosaur and 2 <pet type>".

Anyway, I'll post pics of my mount tomorrow...or I'll be terribly wrong :p

I was about to correct myself as i was just logging in when I posted, and I see that they have another of those quests. Bleh.

Well at least they even count under level 25 pets!

If I get hard world pet quests tomorrow I may be in trouble. My Magic pet selection is rather shitty, but Magic pets in general are blech.

Yeah some of these world quests can be a real pain. There was that demon inquisitor trainer in Felsoul Hold yesterday and man it took me a dozen tries to finally down him, and that's without having myself be restricted by pet-type for two thirds of the team.

Though thinking on it, the two raid boss quests yesterday each gave me a new insta-25 stone, so I can shore up my teams a bit now.

edit: And of course one of the WQ today involve a boss critter. Of course.

edit: One thing I'll grant undead pets, they sure do know how to wear down an enemy. So many dots...

Hah, we did Kara and I have no idea what you are talking about regarding Attumen and a debuff. And our healer has played since Legion launch with a bugged version of Grid that doesn't show magic debuffs, so he only disspels if someone asks for it, and definitely no one asked for one on Attumen (one day he will fix that, but for now we just avoid BRH lol). We tried to go in completely blind, which was really fun for the second half but made the first half a lot of "well we won and no one died, but I have no idea what that boss was supposed to do".

They nerfed world quests for sure. For the past 2 months I was getting 5-10 Purple Item quests a day. Now its down to 1-2 a day. Hell even max Artifact power is down massively. Was usually getting 40-50k a day and now its like 25-30k

That world quest south of Faronaar is almost unplayable. You've got like 50 people trying to find a single demon that dies in 2 seconds, takes 3-5 mins to respawn, and you've got to kill 10 of them.

You are as much a part of the problem/reason why your guild has dissolved as the guys who didn't show. For any raiding guild to work on a base level (skill not a factor here), you need to have everyone able to make a regular commitment to agreed-upon times. It's easy to dismiss as a "merely a game" or whatever, but nothing is going to get done if people don't show up, same as if people didn't show up to work. Without a steady roster, a raid team will experience a myriad of issues that otherwise wouldn't exist.

People expect absences, even unexpected ones, and that's totally fine, but never being able to commit to a regular schedule is not going to fly with the vast majority of groups out there. Raiding is a team activity -- can you see why leaders would never want to deal with someone who's wildly inconsistent in terms of attendance? It would make planning strategy more difficult than it already is, besides figuring out how to handle loot with you, etc.

That's my brief, unpolished thoughts on the matter.

As for actual advice, I'm not sure what I'd recommend. Is your real-life schedule wildly inconsistent that you can't commit to a regular gaming schedule? Because if you look hard enough there are guilds that raid at nearly any time you could want. 3+ day guilds, 2 day guilds, Late night, Prime time, Mornings, etc.

All I have to say for now.

My favorite was Cry Moar Thunder on a day when there was an Artifact Relic up. Took me 30+ laps to kill 150. The entire sky was a ring of dragons. The only way to finish was to anticipate the spawns and time your blasts. I did it again on another day and I got 150 in a half a lap.

I really like my transmog, but I have been using it since transmog was first introduced.

I'm not getting sick of it or anything, but since it's a mix of vanilla and TBC gear, the texture quality is becoming... noticeable.
 
I got my first legendary this morning.

I was really excited.

Hidden Master's Forbidden Touch.

I wasn't aware that you could only use it the second time on a different target, making it's effectiveness, well. It's not optimal.

Oh well. The grind continues.

Looks that way.

I think some just aren't displaying on the map, actually.

I say this because I'm on my way to the pet battle WQ in Highmountain, and it passes by the river area, which gave me a world quest to handle the drogbar there. But there is no icon showing this world quest on the map.

That quest has been nerfed so badly it now requires 50 kills. Which takes like 10-15 secs to get with just how many targets there is and how fast they respawn.
