So, on ER I have 5 toons remixing so far. My hunter has been buying xmogs for a few days now. Heroic/Mythic raid vendor is done. My lock is going to be 556 in a few days. The rest will be there in a few weeks. I am working on BFA alliance for kul tirans on a diff server. The druid I have working on that got to 61 doing it and it went super saiyan mode in BFA. Doesn't make the quest lines less painful, but does mercifully make them go faster.

You're prepared for the cloak to get greyed out (turn into a no stat legacy item), as soon as the xpac drops, right?

I can understand wanting to replay through some of the old shit but I am honestly amazed anyone at all is even willing to play retail with as how fucking retarded Blizzard has been for at least a decade now.

It's one of several games I play in rotation. Get caught up. Skip out when boredom starts creeping in. FFXIV xpac drops this week, so when remix starts to fade I will hop over to that, do all the old MSQ I need to catch up on and the new xpac. EQ, DDO, and some random ones now and then. Then stuff like D4 or go read stuff and watch anime/movies I missed out on. It keeps the days filled.

I mean we have an entire thread about an EQ server that invalidated all of its own loot and its still full of retards bragging about OW content. Yes the story or whatever in WoW is fucking retarded, and has been more or less since WoTLK with the exception of Legion, but who the fuck cares. Balance wise this may be the best expansion possibly ever? PvP balance wise its the best since MoP, and the raids as always are good to great. If you enjoy raiding with more then 8 people, this game is still really the only place to do it, its not a total surprise its still popular. Also the dragon flying they added was done really well and I am happy they are carrying it forward.

I play damn near every major MMO out there. As sad as it may be, wow is still the all around best of them.

I knew that was a thing going in, it was worth it to get it way OP. This is an MMO, so of course there's real neckbeards out there with 4x the cloak I had, but it was neat soloing all of the raids without insta kill mechanics.

Xpac pre-patch July 23:

They are doing the same thing that they did with Diablo 4 and making people pay for the highest tier ($90) to have access on the real release day: Thursday, August 22

I mean sadly it works, so they will never stop milking that.

I just wish WoW didn’t go to dogshit after Legion well honestly before Legion but at least Legion was fun.

Is that enough of a headstart to watch streamers for a few days, see it's the same old crap, and cancel their order entirely?

You can play it yourself, without a sub, on the PTR... supposedly... if the servers ever come back up.

I started downloaded the TWW 11.0 PTR to test it out, but there are post on the forums saying the servers have been offline for a week or more.

DF mechanically was pretty sound. The issues were that the story was gay, the content is old and boring, and the loot treadmill is still too much effort for what it gets you.

I didn't have that much faith in point 1 being completely fixed, even if Metzen wanted to it was already kind of in process so at best they can rough up some soft edges. It does look like it's going to be better, if not great, stuff like the Nerubian city being patterned like Suramar is a positive.

Part 2 I'm more down about. I don't think Delves will be that interesting initially and they have historically always just canned or made irrelevant anything that doesn't work right away without effort. Nothing else is changing that much.

Part 3 is the worst because they simply refuse to squish the gear gap and get rid of the excess difficult level bloat for raids and dispense with the ultra mythic/M+/pvp stuff. This stuff impacts dungeon design, great treadmill, access, catch up mechanics, stat bloat, everything.

Ironically despite DF and the new talent system being very good overall, I'm fearing that things will slip backwards with the hero talents. They just seem like more useless filler so far.

The actual pre-patch event with the catch up gear is July 30th, correct? Gonna sub for the month / expansion to get my week's worth of WoW in and they normally only start the real event a week or so after so just looking to see if they're staying consistent there without wanting to do much research.

The fact they haven't brought back a new mage tower/brawlers guild pisses me off. Mage tower more so then brawlers because you could super tune it and it was really fun. Seriously how hard is it to make like 6-8 fights for the archetypes each expansion? It was great for mastering you spec and gave you something fun to practice that wasn't tied to group content.
