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

What's the best gathering profession for making gold? I'm thinking it's between mining and herbalism?

Check what is selling on your AH. I see conflicting reports on other people's realm to what is happening on mine. I feel a lot of bloods were spent on herbalism materials on my server and the price of mining materials is not much lower than pre blood vendor prices. Results may vary.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
C'Thun and Yshraji are straight up dead and Yogg is pushed back.

Are we sure about C'thuun? I think he's only dead dead in the Medan manga stuff, which is tenuous canon at this point.

y'shaarj is 100% dead.
yogg is under control
c'thun is wavering
n'zoth is dope AF
There's another un-named one iirc. Lore points at 5 old gods chained beneath the world. Idk

I think it might have gotten retconned to four once they redid everything with Chronicles.

It's stupid enough that we still have a limit on the number of quests we can have in our logs, but I'm now getting repeated issues where I can't take a quest because my log is "full" even when I have less than 25 quests. Just had a quest refuse to be taken even though I had literally just turned in the prerequisite quest for it. The amount of broken fundamental stuff in this expansion is just obnoxious. This is easily the most buggy I've seen this game since vanilla. It's so flagrantly clear that they are putting all their resources into content production and virtually nothing into quality and bug control and it's turning me more and more off every day.

Also, completely unrelated complaint, it's stupid that the best way to deal with my class hall is to log off and open the app. Quitting the game should never be the best way to play the game. I appreciate and enjoy the app, but all that functionality should be just as easy to access in game.
 
Man I log in now and get bored when not raiding, and it's not for lack of content. Kind of want to play EVE some (always seems like I return to that in the winter), but I know two MMOs at once is too much.

I think it's partly because my WoW social circle has shrunk some after my raid team split off from a much larger guild, so there's fewer people to talk to at any given time that's not raid hours.

I kind of want to work on an alt, but then I look at all the stuff you'd have to do to catch up and it's not appealing. I'm not a particular fan of the dungeon gear grind. Might just need to play other games in my free time.

Or it could all just be my depression flaring up as well, losing a level of engagement, even if there's nothing otherwise wrong. Hard to say for sure.

The "quest log being full even though it's not" is because stuff like Emissary quests take up a space in the log but don't show up there.

Poor design/UX, but I believe it's intended.

Speaking of alts, I kind of want to level an alliance alt on a new server.
My current guild only has like 2 people on at any given time, and I don't really want to leave it for reasons.

Want to start fresh and try and interact with people.

The only problem is I have never been good at making friends in video games, and it's gotten worse as I have gotten older.

I don't even know what it is, I don't really have that problem in real life(ok well nowhere near as bad anyway).

Not to mention the few times I have tried to join guilds in WoW, they always already had formed cliques, so new members never really fit in, or maybe just me anyway.

So you need to be 110 to get legendaries or you can get them in lower lvs?

The amount of time you will spend between 100-109 is so tiny compared with level cap. You can technically get one, but the only mode that is open to get it is the daily random Legion dungeon. Since you can't do emissary caches, Mythic dungeons, or raids, the chances of it happening is really small. And you won't be able to use it until 110 anyway.

If I download wow on my laptop and then copy my addon folder from my desktop to the laptop addon folder, will that work, especifically for ui mods like elvUI?

Well that's obnoxious but it does make sense at least to a degree. Still doesn't explain how I can turn a quest in and not be able to immediately accept a new one though. And it really makes no sense at all that we even still have a cap, what purpose does it serve? Oh well.

So besides legendarys going to 910 ilvl, anything else with legendarys they are doing?

You'll be able to upgrade them further, with Nighthold comes a quest that has you gathering quest drops from the raid to upgrade it. Its essentially like the crystallized fel from last expansion.

edit: Also some of the weaker legendaries will get buffed in some way, some of the more OP legendaries (memory serves, a fire mage one for the wrist I think was mentioned as an example) will be nerfed slightly since they're a bit too strong, and some new ones will be added to the pool before too long.

Copy your WTF.

Honestly, just copy the entire wow folder if you can.

I dont think it fits in a 32gb flash drive at this point. And how would that work with battlenet? As in I like not having to log in everytime when I play it through batttlenet

You can run WoW without running battle.net, and it will only not work if you're behind on a patch.

Just run battlenet on both. Authenticating a machine lets it run your stuff for like a month or something. You won't have to keep re-authenticating as you swap. It's actually really convenient.

Nice, solid night overall. Got the Nightbane speed run with a decent amount of time to spare, downed Nightbane after ~4-5 attempts. Cleared Kara quite easily after that as well, the loot does feel a little underwhelming but what can you do. Started to work on our keystones, quite easily 2 chested a Maw +9 to get a +11 that turned out to be...

HoV.. womp womp. Hyrja was borderline unbeatable at +10 tyrannical, random abilities hitting for ~1.7 to 1.9 million, I'm not sure if it is worth trying with another 9% damage on it. Much easier affixes this week but if it gets to the point where our DPS just get killed in one hit...

Oh well, guess we will just work up another stone tomorrow or sunday.

Have they said when are they expecting to add more services for gold? And did they give any indication if it will include all services or just some?

you misunderstood me, I dont WANT to run it without battlenet, because then I have to put in my password everytime, its why I like booting it through battlenet

They need to do something to fix the way legendaries drop. The gap between people who have them and don't is just going to get worse, where ilevel is everything.

Before 7.1 there was a real dearth of relics. They're still as hard to get as trinkets in raids/mythic+ but their abundance in the WQs makes early progression much more stable.

I can attest to this. I have also been very lucky in getting some nice titanforged relics off of WQs this week for my struggling alts and off specs that couldn't find a relic to save their lives prior. In many cases I went from 770ish ilvl questing relics to 850-860 relics. Massive jump.

I had no idea that you could start legion at 98. It is kind of tuned poorly. With 130k health scrub monsters were taking off between 1/4 to 1/3 my health in one shot. What gear do they expect you to have for some of these Artifact quests at 98? Once I had my artifact my health went up 50k and then the first two pieces of gear pushed me to 210k and things are manageable.

I wonder what they'll do for the third skin then when people stop running ED

Probably make the items drop from the other raids, if it seems like they need to do it. In the next expansion you can just get a small party to get them or just solo if the power scales enough.

Got my first Legendary!

And it was a good one too. Spiritual Journey which reduces the CD of Feral Spirit by 75% while in Ghost Wolf for my ENH shammy.

Unfortunately, its not 75%cd reduction anymore, they "fixed" it to be 75% cooldown recovery, which ends up being pretty weak since there are now so few places where itll earn you an extra use of FS.

My falcosaur wants me to hunt 3 Juvenile Scuttlebacks. I pet battled 4 of them and won and I got no progress at all. The quest only asks to defeat them, but I even tried to catch one and still no progress. How do I fix such a bug...

Was the dino in your 3 pet battle team during the fight and did he participate? Haven't done those yet, but maybe that was the problem?

Yeah he was in my battling team, first in line, he's the one beating the Juvenile Scuttleback, then I switch him for the others to make sure he doesn't die. I even have him summoned to follow me around.

It used to make the cooldown 30 seconds when you're in Ghost Wolf, now it's a bit over a minute.

If a cooldown is reduced by 100%, the cooldown becomes 0. If the cooldown recovery rate is increased by 100%, the cooldown becomes half of what it originally was.

yeah but then you wont unlock the appearance for transmog

like I'd like to get the frost mage globby water staff but as my alt, he d oens't do EN as much and I wonder if I'll get to the point that I'm straight up locked out of the progression once everyone moves on from ED

It was only having him summoned for me that mattered. If he died during the fight it didn't count (as I believe that unsummons him?)

So it's not that bad. I wish it had better secondary stats tho :(
