World of Warcraft Discussion Megathread

[Pike]

I don't think all of the TBC heroics were tough but some of them... Shadow Labs, Hellfire Whatsitcalled... not Ramps. Not Blood Furnace. The other one. xD Those were kind of challenging. I remember Ventrilo being a thing for some of them. And I remember CC before every pull and so on and so on.

Anyways I liked the TBC/WotLK zombie event, I thought it was a blast and I don't remember it being particularly disruptive at all. I don't think any of my alts were affected, really. By the end it was really neat because Stormwind was a warzone straight out of a zombie movie. And I got a special tabard and an item in my inventory that makes a ghost appear every so often. Still got those! Wish I could get that tabard at the tabard vendor though so I could have it on other characters.

Anyways I've been a bad, baaad person since making this thread like a year ago and I've been cheating on WoW with other games. I really only log in for garrison stuff these days and then bail, haha.

I jsut read about the pre-launch event earlier today. I'm very excited for it.

I think the biggest thing for people is the nostalgia of it. A lot of people were younger so they remember that time as being easier for a lot of them.

The hundres of thousands of people who play them, legally or not, disprove this opinion. Not just Nost, but all the Vanilla private servers that have existed for years. Some of them have been around since BC and still have thousands of accounts log in every day.

Oh so YOU'RE the person Blizzard was catering towards when they progressively removed all the fun from the game.

Who? What?

[Freya]

He was talking about skyblade lol

[Skyblade]

YEAH!

It was just a temporary event and was fun for the time! I'm glad they're doing it again. With this new one you can just deselect the buff and not have to participate though. Just enjoy the temporary event!

SO far it's just SW/ORG and people haven't' figured out if it persists via summons. If not, no need to worry outside of the towns.

While it's nice that I can opt out, people are going to be killing my NPCs. Again. Unless we have some option to resurrect an NPC we have to turn a quest in to or something.

[Freya]

Well I hope it will jus tbe SW/ORG/vanillaish areas. There is soooo much mroe content now then back then so if you're a higher level you'll be fine i think

[theundeadhero]

Are regular NPCs attackable from it? What I read earlier made it sound like once someone transformed it was just spawned city guards attacking them.

[Freya]

Uhh I think so? I haven't logged into alpha yet to try it out but I'll mess with it tomorrow and report back.

[Aulayna]

So I've had these two tracks on loop constantly over the past two days:





Blizz never fail to deliver epic music.

[theundeadhero]

I expected the movie to be the worst thing ever, so I enjoyed watching it more than expected, but I wouldn't call it amazing

[Pike]

That Canticle of Sacrifice song gives me feels because the lyrics are Thalassian and I'm a HUGE BLOOD ELF LORE NERD.

I haven't seen the movie yet, I'm tryin' to get a group together to see it this weekend with. I'm expecting it to be cheesy and thus great, haha.

[theundeadhero]

There were some feels, with some of the lore moments you knew were coming, and then happened. There were some changes too which I hope were just for the movie and not official retcons. I would definitely recommend it to lore fans. It wasn't really superbad like some reviews seem to say.

[Pike]

So. New expansion. I'm only level 102 because of work and me being distracted by other video games. But the new content is fun so far. Liking the class hall stuff that I've done.

[Freya]

Runas the shamed is the saddest thing.

The Kosumoth Easter Egg thing was awesome to hear about. (I wasn't on when it happened )

I hit 110 and didn't even finish the leveling zones. I still had stormheim to do at that point.

I've been 110 for several days and still have soooo much to do in suramar.

The companion app is great for my workage. I can log on it and send them out to do more missions.

I switched my main to warrior because of the awful ret pally changes this xpac. I could do things with it people thought were impossible for years, but now it's ranked low and unfun to play. I've been pretty busy with school, but I managed to get it to 110 by last Friday and took it through mythic dungeons that weekend, getting it's ilvl up to the 820s. I plan to run some more this weekend and hopefully get up to 835. It's been fun. I really like all the lore threw put into it this time. I've been wondering what they would do with Turalyon and Alleria for years Did they announce the last boss yet? I haven't been paying much attention to the media around it.

[theundeadhero]

New Kara stuff was fun. I really enjoyed the early half where you fight old familiar bosses. Attumen was especially crazy fun and fast. The whole party was running around the whole time looking for scrolls to pick up for their buffs The second half wasn't bad. Viz'aduum can be a challenge until you get a few practice pulls in. We didn't do a Nightbane run since we didn't want to rush through our first playthrough.
