Poop quests are the pinnacle of WoW, it is known.

So many varieties!

Bravo Company Field Kit: Camouflage (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26636);collecting fox poop and leaves in order to create camouflage kits for the Alliance offensive in Redridge Mountains.

Befriending Giants (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=14377);you discover the true nature of azsharite.

Going, Going, Guano! (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26901);collecting Kraul guano from the bats inside Razorfen Kraul.

Shizz Work (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=10629);Hellfire Peninsula quest involving a fel hound, boars, and digging through some poop to find a key.

A Rare Bean (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=9800);collecting poop for the Earthen Ring in Nagrand.

Funky Fungi (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=13204);a rather sneaky poop quest--you find out later that the fungi you've been carrying around is actually Savage Beast poop.

Scare the Guano Out of Them! (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11154);drop firecrackers underneath the bats hidden in the trees in Howling Fjord so that you may collect their guano.

A Question of Gluttony (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=9702) which has you collecting the Bog Lords' "Discarded Nutriment." [credit goes to Belmyra-Gnomeregan for finding this quest]

Lupus Pupus (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11728);Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle sends you into the Scalding Pools to collect microfilm ingested by local wolves the old-fashioned way.

Doing Your Duty (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=12227);(my personal favorite) what happens when eating an innocent-looking bunch of berries goes so very, very wrong.

Pooped (http://mop.wowhead.com/quest=31704) [daily quest]; collect 6 pieces of tiny poop.

Gourmet Kafa (http://mop.wowhead.com/quest=30743) [credit goes to Nalin-Nesingwary for finding this quest], placing flags in goat poop for an npc so he can go back and collect the beans, as an homage to the practice of making Kopi Luwak, the world's most expensive coffee.

Well thats a bummer of a Wildstar Wednesday. No new info about anything, just a rather long "Stress test broke stuff and we are fixing it, thanks!", which is something I think everyone already knows. Bummer.

I rather enjoyed it. Once again they are being quite transparent and telling us a little bit of what's going on behind the scenes of this stuff.

I didn't expect much the week before E3.

Hoping this means the next one will be really huge.

Yea, it was generally overdone. But they had some odd references like Hendrix. WoW didn't release in the 1960s, so I don't know how much it dates your game unless you're just doing internet references like chuck norris jokes.

I'm sure they could stick in a lot of sci-fi references without having to worry about them becoming dated, but I'd agree that it should be something you encounter only every great once in a while. It shouldn't be, "I wonder what meme this quest is going to reference!"

Once in a while, it's fine. It's a, "Hey, remember that thing? Yeah, we all like that thing!"

But WoW took it to the point of being, "Hey, remember that thing? Remember? REMEMBER! REMEMBER THAT THING? HUH? DO YA? DO YA? REMEMBER THAT? YEAH! THAT! REMEMBER?"

Yeah as I said I quit a LONG time ago so I got no idea how bad it became. Too much would get old quick.

Very Star Wars like.

The soundtrack is going to be pretty interesting I think. It has the traditional stuff like above, but there are also pieces that are more like dubstep and some even wild west sounding.

I've always enjoyed behind the scenes recordings with audio tracks. MMO soundtracks are always pretty damn amazing. That one makes me want to fucking slowmo march and bitch-slap a space emperor to take over his ship though. gimme gimme

They need to get Carolina Crown to record at least one of their tracks if you want some really epic sounding music.

To continue on with the earlier discussion about pop-culture references...

This is the best kind of "reference" you could put into a game, imo. Something evocative of an icon we all love, but unique unto itself.

Love the music.

That music gave me chills. I'm sold. I've loved the music in WoW, swtor (even the little original stuff there was) and gw2.

But I still chill up with certain parts of the Star Wars or LotR soundtracks.

People still getting motion sickness from playing this game?

Someone asked about more music




There are others out there as well.
