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

Come on, of course most of the people who stuck with their edgelord class would choose the edgelord follower.
When the choice is presented it is pretty simple. Kayn is loyal to Illidan and Altruis is not. Kayn is flatly and objectively right and the entire Illidan storyline is based around Illidan having the only true perspective on the danger of the Burning Legion. The choice to "doubt" Illidan is just objectively wrong at this point, and even those that worked against him like Akama and Maiev are now depicted as being shortsighted and selfish.

Well, casually made 66k gold by accidentally letting TSM posting 30 Seventh Demon flasks for 2.2k each even tho they go for 1k individually...

I still have 1753 and 956 Foxflower and stocked up on some bloods again for Starlight.. time to make more money!

Just got the third and final hidden appearance for my mage. Was so happy to see the "you hear crackling from the portals downstairs" (or whatever it was).

Not that I'll ever be Frost but good to have.

Man, I wish I cared about skins/appearances. It's so hard to give a shit as a shadow priest. Us and rogues literally have no real interest - doesn't substantially impact our appearance at all. I want to max alts purely to go after cool looking appearances for them. Pity I can't care about that at all on my own main spec.

At least there are the Holy and Disc appearances, I guess. That book staff for Disc is pretty sweet.

I actually think the shadow priest one is kinda neat. Its the only one of its appearances that have actually had me go "wait what's that one?" when I see other shadow priests with it.

WoW Q&A Panel starting now. I can blog it a bit in posts below.

But how do you even see it...it's so small, and 50% of the time shrouded in purple fog. It's awful.

Got Mimiron's Head today after only 3 weeks of farming, some bloody good luck.

The hidden one has a glow to it that shows through the shadow.

(And no I am not confusing it with teh PVP one, the PVP one glows too but its a shattered look or whatever, this one was a different curve)

edit: MED'AN IS NOT CANON GUARDIAN THANK YOU GOD

WoW Token system will expand to include other game services! It will be worth Battle.net balance to use on various things.

Armor sets from Tomb of Sargeras will heavily borrow from Tier 6 (Black Temple) design!

Playing through Legion and acquiring artifact appearances will ultimately unlock all those appearances for future Xmog on all future weapons in coming expansions.

I just got the Corrupted Ashbringer appearance for my Paladin. I'm pretty stoked! After waiting 20 minutes, I found a pre-made group which had the slime up and got that done. The fishing part took me 297 casts before getting it. Pretty good! I feel bad for others who are still seeking it. Excuse the crappy quality, I'm running on-board video while waiting for my graphics card to RMA:

I really hope they do something massively different for the hunter set, its that hideous gronn eyeball one. Also be really weird considering, y'know, gronns are outland/draenor.

Token news is best news. Omg.

A: Multiple factions of naga. They don't all follow the same mission or leader.

RACE CHANGE INCOMING

I knew all this gold I made would be useful for something! Now if you could please somehow slash eu token prices in half

"Have you considered adding more content like the Withered Army Training quest?"

A: "...do you want more?"

Audience: "Nooooo!!"

A: "OK...no."

Applause.

But they're saying there will be more skill-testing solo content like it.

There are no more Kosumouth-level secrets hidden in the game right now, but there could be in a few months (7.2)

Heavy hints that Ysera will return.

They're currently working on possible solutions to better implementation for multiple social groups (something like participating in multiple guilds for different purposes - being in a guild for your raids, and another for PVP, etc.)

Vol'jin's story isn't done yet. There are plans. He's dancing around saying what's happening, so Vol'jin's probably coming back at some point.

Watching Alex Frasiabi trying to answer lore questions is super painful.

Q was "Why we got Undead Priests and no Undead Paladins?"

In the future, things like holidays will use scaling tech and become level-agnostic.

I'm not sure how many people noticed it, but during Hallow's End the Headless Horseman attacks on the low-level areas looked like it used scaling tech; at least, 110s no longer oneshot him, and I didn't see a pile of low-level corpses around him!

What the heck.. they sell for less than 800 here.

I bet Sylvanas is going to bring him back form the dead

And this can go two ways. Voljin rebels against sylvanas, or uh..he...priests his way...to...victory!

That's fucking sad

That, also. They just never know what to do with them and they keep flip floping between old gods and legion for seemingly no reason
 
I'm relieved that artifact appearances will stay with us to use for transmog. I feel better about putting in extra effort to unlock them now.

What Alex reinforced is that Azshara wants the Pillar of Creation (forgot what Aszuna's was called) - so that'll be part of the future story somehow.

Totally. A lot of Legion's life for me will be alt questing and adventuring to get my favourite skins since they'll be part of the classes forever. And I mean, they're already some of the best class-content produced in the game, ever.

I missed the Pet Battle train early on, and now, you can't really do any current Pet content unless you have a level 25 pet, right? I have like...four level 3 pets, lol.

Are there catch-up mechanisms at all for this?

You get a free 25 pet boost when you unlock the pet building in a garrison.

Did some of the Warlord's LFR for the transmog and was surprised every boss gives you loot. Didn't get the piece I wanted, but still carted out quite some skins.

Man, I thought I was up on most WoW lore, but I don't even remember who the fuck Medan is. Was he ever a significant part of WoW?

Cool, but didn't you need to have pets at a certain high level to even do the pet battling unlocks in the garrison? There was definitely something stopping me from doing them two years ago in garrisons.

The loading times have gotten silly now.

I went to stranglethorn from org, and by the time it got done loading the area the zepplin was already moving back towards org.

Nope. Just need level 3 garrison for the stone.

The WoWhead guide is pretty good for this. I didn't know a thing about battle pets until Falcosaurs arrived and now I have like, a whole roster of max level pets.

Just make sure to level the Molten Corgi, or the Terrible turnap.
It has a skill that is useful for capturing other pets.

The Withered Army Training is the best solo content I've ever done in the game period. :/

Yes, it'd need some tweaking to account for class strengths/weakness in a another iteration (Dro was too problematic for some classes initially, and tanks get off far too easy) but that's not a reason to do away with actually interesting and at least initially somewhat challenging solo content. Guess we'll never get another iteration, though. I've played with so many unbelievably shitty players since the expansion has launched that I can understand why, but that still bothers me. Hopefully, brawler's guild will fill the gap.

I keep mining, mining and mining but I still haven't found a rank 3 quest item. This is beyond off-putting.
