What are /r/wow's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There's a lot of 1-star reviews for the app on the Google Play store, including a lot of people complaining that the tickets they bought were unavailable when they went to use them. The iOS version has much better reviews.

I'd also refuse to install the app on principle after viewing the permissions. The app does not appear to have the capacity to receive tickets by scanning a QR code, so why does it need access to the phone's camera? Why does it need access to your contacts and location?

There are multiple fanmade versions of the game that are out. I reccomend Toontown Rewritten for an experience similar to the original, and if you wanna spice things up Corporate Clash is also a great option.

Not entirely gone.

For example, when Arthas was the Lich King, all that remained of his past self was his humanity, and even that was lost when his frozen heart was destroyed. Remember, Arthas' soul was Frostmourne's first victim. When we kill him in Icecrown, he says to the ghost of his father "I see only darkness before me". Sylvanas goes to this same darkness, what we can only assume to be the Void, when she commits suicide after ICC. So we can only assume that whatever entity it was that called itself Arthas the Lich King had no place in any afterlife.

We find out later that Arthas' spirit is actually still lingering around inside of Frostmourne as part of the Frost DK Artifact Quest.

But in Bolvar's case, he lost his humanity to the dragonfire ("The dragons' flame... sealed my fate... The world of the living can no longer comfort me.") and is for all intents and purposes undead, kept 'alive' by the red dragonfire. But his soul is still wholly intact, and is likely what is keeping the new Lich King 'good'.

Nathanos Blightcaller (formerly Marris). Here's the short story that references their relationship.

TL;DR Nathanos is a lucky guy, minus the whole dead thing.

I have only seen one man with this transmog set. And holy shit, it's awesome. I forgot his name. But he is on Sargeras. He has the Scarab Lord title, but wait he has more. He is the only person i've ever seen that has the WoW tabard. The real deal. It's the legit thing. I have played this game since early BC and I have never seen it ingame untill I saw this guy. He is a walking legend! Found his armory! https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/sargeras/dinglesberry

Hey Raven! If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend downloading and installing the Battle.net Desktop App as it's now recommended to play WoW. Let me know if you have any questions about that!

Edit: Launching the game without the Desktop App will prevent ongoing updates until the game has been launched through the App.

Context: Mythic Kil'jaedan has singularities and extreme knockbacks which can push you right off the platform. While present in Normal and Heroic, there are far more singularities and some really nasty timings to the point where top guilds feel you need some form of movement ability to deal with it and Priests don't really have that.

Keep in mind that on August 11th hotfixes Mythic Kil'jaedan received a nerf to singularites during the Deceiver's Veil phase (when everything goes dark) where they now spawn in fixed locations rather than at random. You can discuss the hotfixes here.

I remember something like this popping up a couple of months ago...

Judging from the comments, this seller might be less than stellar...

From /u/Lucaloo: >Please, dont buy from this retailer. As much as I really like these and want to buy them Ive seen these guys steal the intellectual property of artists at least twice and their behavior when they were told to remove the items from their store was just terrible. These designs might be original, but if you can find them through another retailer, please do.

from /u/benilla: >Here are some Warcraft themed leggings that properly compensate the artist: http://www.storenvy.com/products/11198787-world-of-warcraft-death-dragon-leggings

>We are a small business based in Canada and all our designs are sewn domestically. We support local economy and are sweat shop free. We work with artists and ensure they are fully compensated for their time, energy and skill. Each individual artist is given credit in the description of the legging they designed.

Ghostery has sold data before, which is why I wouldn't recommend it. Though it was recently bought out.

Personally, I use Privacy Badger from the EFF.

Raph Koster wrote a book about his experiences too and it's real good (Although, really really long). It's worth checking out. SWG was such an amazing game and I'll never forgive SoE (or whatever they call themselves now) for what they did.

Lightforged Draenei are just Draenei who have gone under some kind of "ritual to become Lightforged". There's no requirement for them to be from main universe as far as we know.

Yes please, here is pretty much the reason i have not re-rolled and i can't let go of my rep tab. and it is getting insanely boring.

> However they were rather vague as to why this increased the development time between MoP and WoD.

Increasing the size of a team quickly always results in (at best) a short-term productivity loss. Folks have to get used to working together, more effort has to be put into communication and coordination, and so on.

Probably the most famous book about this was published in 1975, The Mythical Man-Month.

A half-joking way of expressing this idea: two women can't have a baby in 4.5 months.

This isn't excusing it or justifying anything Blizzard has or hasn't done, has or hasn't communicated, etc. Just throwing it out there as a Known Thing™ in software development.

In a new post on the World of Warcraft community site, the dev team has announced a pair of significant changes to upcoming patch 7.2 and the requirements to 'earn' flying in Legion's Broken Isles.

Originally, players would have been required to complete a lengthy multi-achievement / quest series called Breaching the Tomb that included on piece (Shard Times quest) requiring 50,000 Nethershards to finish. The drp rate of Nethershards in 7.2 where they first begin to show up was very low making gathering 50,000 prohibitive. Developers have now backtracked on that requirement, reducing it to 2500 Nethershards and when approaching Khadgar to turn it in, he sheepishly only asks for 1. Additionally, Breaching the Tomb would have required players to complete each character's Order Hall campaign and earn exalted status with the forces of Legionfall. Completing Breaching the Tomb has now been removed as a barrier to flying.

On PTR, players can now unlock flying in the Broken Isles by completing the following:

Broken Isle Pathfinder, Part 1

Explore the Broken Shore - find all points of interest on the Broken Shore

Defender of the Broken Isles - complete Demon Assault in each of the four zones where they are present

Legionfall Commander - earn Revered status with the Legionfall faction

There was some server transfer bug in WoD where the temp name on server transfer was a valid name so you kept the 4 capitals. my DK has it too.

Did I mention that it's open source too? Your move!

Edit: I'm also the author of Omen, SexyMap, and Chatter, so I've sorta been around this WoW software thing for a while.

Where did you find this? I can check cache/wayback machine

edit: Yes, it hasn't changed in almost 1 year:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160813151202/https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/game/races

Going to go in a different direction here. If you are someone wanting to swap roles and start tanking, but there's something holding you back, please feel free to talk to me to help you get past those nerves.

Tanking can be stressful - you're the unofficial leader of the group, you're expected to know what to do and your mistakes can cause a wipe; yet I haven't looked back ever since I switched earlier this year, so I'll try to help people overcome those worries as someone who had (and still has) those worries.

I don't have mythic clears like others in this thread, but my Demon Hunter does try to push endgame content.

I would agree with you, but if you look at the Ilvl of some of his gear you can see that they're well above the ilvl that still drops today. The highest ilvl item I could find were a few things from c'thun at 88. The ilvl90+ items are for sure from old naxx. Also... I could "stalk" him.

They don't line up.

Edit: I took the original resolution (12292x5206 and 11636x5266) artwork and attempted to scale the tree to have identical proportions before and after the burning. Since the two paintings aren't quite identical, the shoreline, the boats, and Sylvanas will be in very slightly different locations in order to keep the tree as static as possible.

They are cropped to 2918x5188, maintaining the same aspect ratio as most phones. They will easily downscale to OP's screen resolution of 1152x2048 or to other resolutions such as 1080x1920 without loss of quality.

Imgur messes with large files, so I had to use a different host.

There are a lot of issues with them.

They fraudulent resold keys hurts self-publishing games, mentioned by Factorio devs here: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-171

So the key can be revoked any time. And aside from that, it can be simply invalid, it can be region locked, etc.

To "combat" this G2A signs you up for their "protection" program where you can get another key if there is something wrong with it, but for an extra fee thats quite hard to avoid or get out from. So thats really scummy.

r/GameDeals does not allow it for these and other reasons, elaborated here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/2yhlw4/key_resellers_and_what_they_mean_for_you/

So G2A pumps a lot of money into advertising to counter their bad press. And people are vain or just trying to stay afloat, thats why they are willing to take the "blood" money for advertising.

It has been asked before, like r/Games/comments/2fvjgq/what_is_up_with_g2acom_and_why_is_it_being/

They had an AMA, people pressed some of these questions against them: r/IAmA/comments/5rg9mo/we_work_for_g2acom_global_digital_marketplace/

Or just google, for example TotalBiscuit was really againts them.

Well, I hope you actually asked in good faith and not just trolling while hoping someone uses that referral/discount code to make some beer money.

As a developer, I can confirm this concept is very much true.

That being said, basic content development is a good example of a task that can be distributed very efficiently as long as there is limited overlap or dependencies on the tasks.

The Mythical Man-Month is often more in regard to larger, monolithic tasks. For instance, if a dungeon is taking your team of 5 people 6 months to make, it will not take 3 months if you double the size of the team.

However--to add a more recent example--if 1 quest designer can make 1 daily quest in a week for Tanaan, it is pretty likely that 2 quest designers can make 2 daily quests in a week as long as your writing/localization team is not the bottleneck.

The odd thing here is that Blizzard seems to be skimping mostly on things that scale pretty well. We have been pretty happy with their art and raid stuff, but unhappy with their 'filler' content and lack of 'things' to do. Implementing random 'things' are generally fairly self-contained and can scale pretty decently with the size of the team. It just feels like they have not allocated the resources to accomplish that.

The itemization right now is fucking stupid and it forces people to grind M+ for titanforged RNG BIS gear. I saw some motherfucker with 950 plate bracers from MOS today and seethed.

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/stormreaver/xinlul

Like what the fuck is this shit. Meanwhile I'm stuck using base 900 bracers from M Skorp since like the start of NH progression.

You can see A LOT more than the teaser and the epilogue at amazon.

It's not a coup against Sylvanas. The Desolate Council wanted to be NEUTRAL.

Got it from Amazon. Here.

No, if both character is equally geared and players are somewhat equals in strength, a rogue could not beat anyone with just auto attacking

Glaives or not. And before jumping to conclusions, i'm a rank1 player from S4 https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/twisting-nether/darksoldierr

It's really pathetic. The raid content is alright (though I detest the death of 10man raiding), but the rest of the expansion has not been enjoyable whatsoever. Overall, I found WoD to be not very polished, as if they don't give a crap. They know we're a bunch of suckers that give into "new expac hype" and purchase the expac, so just build hype, get money, and don't deliver on promises. Lose subs, build hype for next expac, repeat.

For a quick example of lack of polish, if you look real close at the Horde Garrison on the world map, it says "Garnison", not Garrison. How they could have such a big oversight is beyond me, but it's ridiculous how unpolished various aspects of this expansion have been. The "Garnison" is just a recent one I noticed so I use that as an example.

The only reason I'm still subbed is because I can pay for gametime with gold. At this point, unless I can purchase the next expansion with gold, this is probably my last. $60 for 2 raid tiers I didn't enjoy, 8 dungeons, and no new BGs is not worth my money.

*Edit: So /u/dualplains pointed out that "Garnison" is German for Garrison, but I'm on a US server, playing with all English settings because, well, I don't know any German.

The other two are alive, yes. When we the players fought C'thun way back in Ahn'qiraj, we fought what amounted to the tip of a finger. When we defeated Yogg in Ulduar, we had the help of a half dozen Titanic Keepers, some of the most powerful beings the Titans left behind. Neither Old God is dead, and even if they were I don't know that it would significantly reduce their threat. After all, Y'shaarj has been dead for millennia and we spent a whole expansion fighting what was basically a few drops of his blood (the Sha in Pandaria).

Most of our Old God lore can be found centralized in Chronicle Volume 1. You could also check out Wowpedia if you want to get trapped for hours.

Most of what we know about the Old Gods happened many thousands of years before the events of the Warcraft games, so a lot of it comes from sources like these.

Edit: Swapped the WoWWiki link for a link to Wowpedia instead. After looking at both, it seems that WoWWiki is pretty out of date.

Combined warfare tactics are the most effective. I recommend a bug zapper. Make sure the mosquito bait gets replaced occasionally or its effectiveness will fall off. The first night you run this, you will hear it slowly murder an entire ecosystem, but they were on your property so they deserved it. Afterwards, citronella will be effective for thwarting those who actually manage to resist the desire to fly into the light. You can also look into planting some predatory plants and repellent plants.

Here is an example of what a 101 twink looks like. The items he has have the item level of someone in the now early 110's, but can be worn at 101.

This is so crazy. I have only done one so far, but this is what I recieved. https://gyazo.com/c02b18b7e19f8ec6d5186040eacbba94

Medallion of the legion, empowered token and a crap ton of baleful, 500 gold, and a bunch of runes. I'm assuming that I got lucky with the medallion, but still a crazy haul for 20 minutes in a dungeon.

Alot of people still haven't read Edge of the Night despite it being extremely important to Sylvanas' character development and motivations. Definitely worth a read if you have the time.

Just to add: the statue is placed at Shibuya Station, the same station where Hachiko waited every day until his death.

If you're ever in Tokyo and find yourself in the Shibuya area, pay Hachiko a visit! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1066456-d553408-Reviews-Hachiko-Shibuya_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html

"Q. Why do you think a player would want to start in this zone first?

Don: Sylvanas vs. Genn Greymane.

Trevor: How about Vrykul, dragons, Kvaldir, oh, and lest we not forget, grappling hooks. Basically, when we set out to do Stormheim our general goal was to try and create this Norse epic where the player is the character in the middle of it. So if you’re a fan of Vrykul culture, if you want to learn more about the Kvaldir, if you dig dragons. . . .

Don: Storm Dragons.

Trevor: What else do you need to hear other than Storm Dragons? Ely: This zone has such a great main storyline, but it has such great side stories, too—some really cool and funny ones that lend charm to the zone.

Don: Tension between the Horde and Alliance has been building since the Broken Shore and the demon invasions, and this is the zone that kicks off more of that. It’s red versus blue right out of the gate, which then leads off into this epic story. It then returns to Alliance versus Horde again later. If that’s still fresh in your mind and you want to chase down Sylvanas, then this really is the zone for that."

Might look into a VPN. It's how users from other countries watch blocked youtube videos. I don't use it but Jay from JayzTwoCents youtube channel recommends Astrill. He's a super credible dude, check him out sometime.

I think they did have lots of great ideas planned but their development budget got cut whilst their marketing budget increased dramatically.

"I believe this apparent lack of quality stems directly from Activision Blizzard's cuts to its Product Development budget. Instead, the company is filling the void with mass marketing through its Marketing budget in order to juice anticipation for games. In the long run, what will make or break the company is quality games, not a billion dollar marketing budget."

Grats!

In or around the beginning of 2011, I sent a picture to Blizzard for the Core Hound contest during Cata... Needless to say, I forgot about it.

Flash forward to July 2011, and as I'm getting ready for work, I hear a knock on my door. I answer it and sign for a package labeled 'Orange Juice'. Strange, I didn't order anything, maybe a room mate did? Either way, I opened the box, and there's a brand new iPad (when they were new, before iPad 2). Confused and thinking maybe it was for another apartment, I check the shipping label. From Blizzard Entertainment, to Me!

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/3169993

Yes, it's possible.

People forget that we have never had this much information, data, models, world changes (new buildings, revamped outdoor Suramar/Nighthold and Thunder Totem) about features for a future expansion feature in a patch before the pre-patch for that expansion. We don't even have an initial Beta build yet and already we have all this stuff.

Each of these 4 races fits into the Legion storyline, and fits as a finale to a lot of the story progress we made with certain races/characters in Legion.

In 7.3.5, we know that we're getting a new leveling scaling revamp, and that on the Allied Race page on bnet it says: "Once an Allied Race is recruited, you can rediscover Azeroth through a revamped leveling experience featuring zones that scale as your character grows in power. "

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/battle-for-azeroth/features/allied-races

Almost all of the groundwork for these races is being laid on the 7.3.5 PTR. If they were coming as a late Preorder bonus like the DHs, or only coming with the Pre-patch, there would be no reason to include everything.

The blue post people use against the idea stated that "Because BfA development is in full swing, a few of the assets may pop up in datamining that are intended for BfA (such as Allied Races).

The thing is, if they're a preorder bonus, they're still technically BfA content because you need to buy BfA in order to play them. Nothing about the statement confirms or denies that they can come in 7.3.5 to people who pay for them. Another thing to remember is that Blizzard lies and misdirects often.

TL;DR it makes absolute sense to include them as early as 7.3.5 in a preorder bonus. The leveling revamp is coming, all the assets are being added bizarrely quickly, and the four races even require Legion content to get. Blizzard lies.

More specifically, as is explained in her short story from the start of cata, Sylvannas tried to suicide after Arthas' death. But she was terrfied by the experience of true death and accepted the offer by a group of valkyrs looking for a new master to be brought back to life.

Where are you getting that from? The official page for the DH wep says it was Sargeras himself

>In ages past, the dark titan, Sargeras, offered the mighty aldrachi people a place in his Burning Legion. But the aldrachi proved incorruptible: they slew innumerable demons before their race was wiped out. Sargeras personally killed their greatest champion and seized his weapons.

༼ ಠل͟ಠ༽

> The army of undead that surrounded and protected the Dark Lady was still hers, body and soul. But they were no longer arrows in her quiver, not anymore. They were a bulwark against the infinite. They were to be used wisely, and no fool orc would squander them while she still walked the world of the living.

I'll kindly disagree. Because you and your wife hadn't heard of her isn't really indicative of whether or not she was popular. She's written somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 novels (several of them bestsellers and highly influential in the genre) and short story compilations since the 70's. You don't get that many books published without being popular.

In case you begin to speculate that she could have had that many books published as trashy pulp fiction, she's won four Hugos in addition to other awards for her writing.

She's famous enough that other writers have written about her: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-essential-writers-guide-michael-williamson/1117070502?ean=9781286831137

And highlighted by Kirkus: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/worlds-cj-cherryh/

She was ranked 19th on the ISFDB Top 100 Authors list.

Of course, her popularity was at its peak before the internet (though she is still actively writing books)--you could easily sell a couple million books and still be a relative unknown to the billions that had never read them. Also, many of her most popular books were labeled Sci-Fi, not Fantasy. So, it doesn't surprise me that you or your wife missed out. But trust me, she's a Big Name in the SF/F world.

It's because every hunter and their mother complained on Battle.net their dislike for the gun and guns in general during the reveal of the BM gun.

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/19932655/legion-hunter-artifact-reveal

There's easy information on this:

They took away the ability for customer service to release names in 6.2 and just released any names for characters that had been inactive since 2010 ( see this post here )

They release names for inactive accounts now starting every expansion (presumably with a similar timeframe of being inactive). See this post here

They were actually posted alongside the audio, just not with the news post. Compare:

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20220886/the-tomb-of-sargeras-audio-drama

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/story/audio/tomb-of-sargeras-part-4

Obviously an error. The book's slated for a June 12 release, at least according to Amazon.

common mistake, it's based on how it's pronounced.

"air-lewm" starts with a vowel, so it should be an heirloom. If you just say it out loud it makes sense.

edit: proof

According to the allied races page none of them can be DK so far.

I could see maybe the new dwarves getting it though because they haven’t released their classes yet.

BfA 8.1 is working flawlessly for me (and my others), thanks to Vulkan and the project DXVK. Approximately a 5% fps lost. Love it.

You need a video card which supports Vulkan. For nvidia, its easy: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/ The Lutris page above has a link to instructions. Basically, just need to install latest wine, Vulkan drivers, DXVK as they are dependices. After that, all I had to do was click 1 button on the Lutris WoW page above and Lutris took care of the rest.

Strangely enough, the twitch app works and updates addons just fine too.

Heres to hoping Blizzard adds Vulkan support themselves in 2019!

Did you see the story comic prior to legions launch? The Legion isn't rofl stomping them with minions BECAUSE they agreed to give up the well and serve the Legion in exchange for not being annihilated. The Demons in Suramar are just a small occupation force.

My pick is the Logitech G502 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019OB663A/

The Spectrum version has RGB, the Core is blue only. I've been using it since the Core came out (no RGB upgrade for me yet) and love it.

that''s not even the end of it, have a look at this one they even have kil jaeden' sburning wish legendary, not the crafted one. also relinquished vendor can procc to boe relics at ilvl 910 equippable at lvl 101... that's why the weapon is that high ilvl.

this shaman is better equiped than some of my alts :( :)

He's using a program called wsplit. It's an older and sort of outdated timer that speedrunners used for their games.

Nowadays there is a new program called livesplit that is much more customizable with fonts, graphs and a whole bunch of other features.

> For untold millennia, the Army of the Light waged war against the Burning Legion throughout the Twisting Nether. The draenei most committed to their long crusade would undergo a ritual to become Lightforged, infusing their bodies with the very essence of the Holy Light. After finally achieving victory on Argus, the Lightforged draenei have undertaken a new mission: protecting Azeroth from rising threats and helping the Alliance push back against Horde aggression.

The BfA website seems to imply it's the actual Army of the Light that's joining the Alliance.

He was solely responsible for the ever-famous blog post, though. That probably played a large part of why he was controversial (that post was extremely... polarizing, to put it nicely).

So, I went to check it out for myself. Yup, it's there.
It's ridiculously tiny. How did you notice it in the first place? Seen here next to a Long-tailed Mole: https://www.screencast.com/t/Wb6RH6jw8RMd

Anyway, my memory of Stranglethorn quests is vague at best, but standing there I sure feel like I've stood there before for a reason.
My wife thinks I'm crazy, because she doesn't remember any teleport-esque thing happening here -- so I might be crazy. But that weird spot does feel familiar in a teleporty kinda way.

Whenever I encounter a fellow blue shirt / brown pants / no shoes player I get crazy happy. Twinsies!

Me in case anyone is wondering:

I miss this part so much. For some reason when I was going to make an alt I always looked how cool I could possibly look before I made him/her. It pretty much decided the race/gender of all my alts back than

There's a short story on the official WoW site called "Edge of Night" that talks about Sylvanas' actions after the death of the Lich King. It's been a long time since I've read it but basically she commits suicide by jumping off ICC and goes to a horrifying, agonizing void version of WoW hell. One of the val'kyr makes a pact with her and takes her place in void hell and resurrects her.

I tanked the 3 wings of LFR Antorus for the first time last night. Haven't raid tanked since vanilla (or played at all since WotLK) so it was a special moment for me. Went pretty smoothly. Got 2 drops and someone gave me a neck piece they didn't need.

Only dinged 110 on new years day so I'm happy with progress so far!

That would make sense, especially since on the Allied Races page here - https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/battle-for-azeroth/features/allied-races - it is mentioned that Dark Iron Dwarves and Zandalar Trolls will be unlockable in BFA content.

Why would they make that distinction if the ones mentioned now wouldn't be released today?

> I get the complaints, but also don't see why Overwatch should allow others to use their servers to avoid giving them profit for the work.

I don't have a particular issue with ads. I'd be happy if Overwolf allowed third party managers, who served their ads.

I have an issue with their all-in-one solution mod manager. I don't need to be able to update my nonexistent installs of the other bazillion games they support

I play about 4 games that have the kind of modding capability that needs a manager. And they all have excellent third party managers. After this, it'll be down to 3

This is trying to be the Facebook of mod managers.

The proper plural of the real world shaman is shamans, but Blizzard has used Shaman as a plural specifically for their warcraft-universe Shaman. That's probably where your confusion stems from.

For example, the very first sentence on the official Shaman class page uses "Shaman" as the plural.

I cannot read sheet music. Can someone explain to me how those notes correspond to the meat placement on the minimap as well as the room? I mean, I see 9 notes in the music and only 8 meats circled/placed?

And then >Note how the first 5 notes ascend one line/space at a time, and then the next line and space are skipped for the final 3 notes at the top.

How did he know to skip like that? Is that what the sheet music does with the notes as well? Or is he just mimicing the placement of the meats in the dungeon and guessing?

 

Edit: Found guitar sheet music for Amara's Wish and I can see clearly on this that the first 8 notes do indeed match up. https://flat.io/score/5e8e4addd59cef3f6a82bff8-amaras-wish The piano sheet music screenshots in the google doc were just way too blurry to read.

I also made a countdown

It isn't the artists in a lot of cases. (Obviously this being fan-art, it absolutely is.) Noah Bradley talked at length about this on the gathering magic podcast. Often when artists are given a commission to paint women they get it sent back repeatedly with the instructions "bigger tits."

He caused a bit of a stir in the fantasy art community when he released this: https://medium.com/@noahbradley/paint-women-like-women-18ec54c0948e

Just adding on to this, if you like watching people play DnD, give Harmonquest a shot. It's hosted by Dan Harmon(co writer of Rick & Morty, Community). It's him, Jeff Davis(of Whose Line fame), Erin McGathy, and their DM Spencer Crittenden.

Each episode has them continuing their story with a guest celebrity who may or may not be familiar with the game. They animate large parts of each episode for the story, and it's pretty great how it's done.

It's pretty funny, some episodes are a little flat, but overall a good show.

The first episode is on Youtube, the others are on a subscription service called SeeSo. YOu can try SeeSo out for $3.99 as ana dd-on to Amazon Link

Just after Arthas was defeated. It was released as a short story on the official site back then, and is still available here.

> Sylvanas stepped back, the wind whipping her hair and snapping her frayed cloak. The memories of who she had been and what she had become closed a knot in her stomach, and she moved now to unravel it. No more would she be the vengeful leader of a mongrel race of rotted corpses. Her work was done, and her long-denied reward awaited her. Longing for that forgotten bliss, she allowed herself to fall backward from the top of Icecrown Citadel. The wind rushed past her, a growing wail. The pinnacle, and the silent Val'kyr at its peak, disappeared…

> Her body burst on the saronite stones below with a crushing finality.

The Nightholds preview was released the January 3rd in NA and the raid was released two weeks after January 17th.

That's two weeks and we have two weeks left on the Broken Shore quest chain, so Tomb might come out June 6th for NA and June 7th for EU.

The latest short story regarding her makes her enemies secretly being attracted to her, in some cases, canon. It's a single line, but appears in the middle of the third page. Story in question.

Agreed, One thing I feel is massively overlooked reasons as to why WoW is the best MMO is it's response time.

Any other MMO I have played in my life seems to falls into the trap that it doesn't feel responsive in comparison.

When you cast a heal I'll see it's effect right on point.

When you taunt a mob, it doesn't take 2 seconds for that mob turn around wait a second before running to the tank.

Compare that to the current other big MMORPG on the market (FF XIV) where you actively are playing with the lag as a mechanic of the game.

A fun little mobile app I remember seeing was called Little healer, it really shows how fun the healing mechanic is in wow due to it's snappy response.

No druid for them, sorry. Druid will be available for the Zandalari and Highmountain Tauren though. Zandalari and Dark Iron classes arent on that page yet, but they talked about Zandalari druids and raptor ground travel form.

Blizzard posted this in September 2012, so it has almost been 5 years. but thats all part of blizzards soon™ which is anytime between today and never :)

I just found out about this website, and I'm having a lot of fun just clicking around to get the portrait as closely as possible to my imagination. It's really easy once you've got the hang of it, so just try it for yourself if you have an hour or so to get a screenshot uploaded!

Wordpress.com has a free hosting tier. You can upgrade plans later or, since it uses the WordPress platform, if you ever wanted to migrate to your own hosting it's super easy.

The free tier does have its limits (3gb storage (you could always hotlink), need to use wordpress subdomain) but I think it's worth trying out so you're not having to spend any money upfront and have upgrade/migration options in the future.

100% this. This has been my mouse for years and years, preceded by a Razer Naga that lasted maybe 6 months, and this is half the price. It will completely change the way you play for the better.

>Barrage now fires in a tighter cone, and its visual has been improved to better show its area of effect.

Developers’ Notes-- Barrage fulfills a fantasy of a wild spray of shots in a large area. Of course, that can be dangerous, and often Hunters accidentally pull additional enemies with Barrage, especially in Legion dungeons. We saw this as a failure on our part to convey what it actually does. This hotfix should allow Hunters to get a feel for the shape and size of it and build a reliable expectation of what will happen when they cast Barrage. No change was made to Barrage’s damage. We hope that this helps Hunters and their groupmates to have a more pleasant dungeon experience.

They already want to serve ads, and I pay them to remove them. Then they want to track and ALSO make money off me, despite me paying to remove ads

No.

Stop fucking tracking me.

The guy is 7/9M and used to be the GM of Elitist Jerks. I'd say he's more aware of the games issues than 90% of the playerbase. The guy has been playing WoW since vanilla so I don't know why you would act like he doesn't give a shit about the game.

Sorry to break this to you, but your Blue Tracker links are from May. If you check the 7.2.5 patch notes (June 9th) you'll see this. Looks like they're working as intended.

Be warned, I have a pretty laid-back attitude. It's better to take a nap before raid and be rested than to farm AP for another hour.

Link to the page.

Seems just silly that old legendaries can still not be transmogged, everyone can run around with Ashbringer now but people can't use an item that took weeks or even months to farm.

Even more odd is that the pre-legendary weapons for Wrath and Cata can now be transmogged such as Shadow's Edge.

I use gifcam which is great. Hit record, cut out the frames that you want to remove and upload. You don't need to record a video first or any of that. Check my submission history to see some gifs I've posted of my character. All of which I used gifcam for.
