So the stupid app is lying, thank goodness. (well it's probably not lying since you also get some AP with the pearls)

Phasing is terrible for MMORPGs - At some point some poindexter faggot at Blizzard needs to learn how to fix this.


I havent encountered anything like that yet. Problem I have right now with sharding is being in a shard thats completely devoid of Alliance while theres a gagglefuck of horde running around or just empty in general.
What's timegated other than the raid/dungeon and the two quests associated with them? Raids haven't launched on patch day in a very long time
Follower quests in Naj for one.

I got the 3k follower xp quest done today after 2 random lucky drops + the murloc hidden item that you can buy with the cloak today gives you an item that gives +150 xp on ALL followers, which is nice.

The chain that it unlocks is really good. Also Azshara showing up everywhere like the Lich King did throughout the zone is giving me some hope for the narrative as ridiculous as that sounds. I've been reading all the quests this patch and there's some juicy bits.

also big spoilers

I decided yesterday to not even bother with this daily anymore unless I luck into it - just takes too long. Same with collecting the poison weed or kicking fish etc. Will take a bit longer for the faction rewards, no big deal for me.

Once you figure out where the weed stuff is thats not bad but the kicking fish is also a bit annoying. There are some areas that is more doable though. But yes I kinda gave up on the nazjatar rare one until flying. Right now completing it is basically just luck most of the time you are just not going to be near enough to a rare to act on it.

new rep is gay, and again I had two chests disappear yesterday as I was opening them. Great design. I liked dungeon rep, at least you could grind.

Honestly the rep stuff is coming in pretty fast even with some wackyness on the naz rare shit quest. In naz if you have pet battle pets up to snuff those things are worth a big chunk of rep the first time you kill them and next week is the dark moon faire stuff so good time to go around and bang through the naz pet battle stuff. I believe you can get like 3k rep for doing each of the naz pet fights. Oddly mechagon is nowheres near that for rep from the pet fights so mostly I just do those when there is a WQ for it although the mechagon ones can reward you some blueprint stuff I believe.

Woot ankoan emissary for a whooping fucking 600 AP reward. Is the wow companion app lying to me or is that for real?

Get the fuck out of here with this shit.
I believe naz emmisary also gives you 25 mana pearls too.

I'm 355 rep from revered with Naz, if you sperg and do everything it goes by kinda quickly.

I've noticed in both zones Mechagon and Naz, the more you do, the more you unlock. It definitely starts slow though.

  • World Quest bosses in Nazjatar will no longer show up with a silver dragon portrait. After this hotfix, is should be easier to tell what’s a boss for a World Quest and what’s a true rare spawn.

Mechagon is really odd like that. At first you are like um okay this is it I don't get it. But the more you do of it the more it starts unfolding and it just gets a lot better/more interesting as you go. Naz as well seems like you gain access to more stuff as you go. Also both zones did a good job at making pet battles challenging but also pretty rewarding so pretty good reason for just about everybody to try them out this go round.

Oh the last one is about fucking time. That was just infuriating like I just killed 5 rares but I did not get credit for shit because they were for quests.

I suggest checking this out if you haven't, the hidden item today gave my bodyguards ALL experience that pushed me into the new chain which gave a bit more rep. Note that some of the special items are kind of useless (chum, lockbox, etc) but todays is really good.


Also pet battle WQ in naz gives an absurd amount of rep for whatever reason.

So PvE aside how the fuck did these morons allow PvP to reach the absurd levels of stupid that it has? Then think to themselves you know what, what if we forced some PvP on everyone with essences?

You take something like the Southshore vs. Tarren Mill brawl and with all the stupid ass spell effects these dildos have added over the years their own servers can't handle it. It lags to shit and back, then you get the issue of how many healers determine most BG's, than and these so called epic BG's are anything but, with the sheer amount of CC it's a wonder melee are even allowed in this instances.

I sometimes suggest Ion should be fired but really that Holinka piece of shit with his trackball needs it more.

That's just how epic bgs have been for the entire games existence. More healers and more casters and you win.

But yeah I've been complaining about that the entire expansion. anything over 30v30 and the servers shit themselves and it's so goddamn annoying. Smaller scaled pvp is gay though, everything heals far too much.

The changes to Nazjatar rares helped a lot stuff lives long enough to reasonably get credit.
