World of Warcraft: Current Year

I doubt that will happen but it would be one of the few ways they could potentially avoid another 14+ month long gap in content. This last patch for wow is NOT going to maintain subs for 12 months if there is nothing else this expansion.

Love the idea of Mythic dungeons, but just no point in running them if the gear is worse than fucking LFR.

Don't know where you read that, or if you just assumed it.

Mythic dungeon loot is 685, which is what LFR wing bosses drop. More than half of LFR loot is 675 though. If the Mythic dungeon loot rolls warforged, it bumps up to 705, the top level of normal raid and base level of heroic raid loot.

Trolls...again?

We've had four straight years of Orcs shoved up our ass, pretty excited for a Troll/Night Elf centric story if they go that route.

I really like the pre-Highmaul WoD, obviously it was fresh then, but I love having dungeons as a different path of useful progression. Love the idea of Mythic dungeons, but just no point in running them if the gear is worse than fucking LFR.

Pretty much agree in full with what Draeg said a few pages back. Also some rumblings of that they started working on this xpac immediately, its not out of this world we could have a Jan release.

Is anybody really expecting Blizzard to release something in a timely fashion after all these years ?

I think we had literally our first troll free expansion :/

Definitely equal efforts involved in the acquisition process *rolleyes*. Let's face it, wow is a raid-or-die game, everything else is just tacked on as an afterthought. I never did mythic dungeons because I unsubbed earlier, but if they are challenge mode style, my guess is that they are mostly about stacking the right classes. If they are so mythic, why don't they give mythic loot? Are they scared people would just not raid anymore? Wouldn't this speak volumes about their raiding model?

Oh well, WoW is what it is, a shadow of its former self. Next xpack will get another 2 or 3 months from me I guess. It's good that they think about night elves as a centerpiece for their next expansion. They are my favourite race after all.

Yeah, I already maxed out on Baleful gear except a shield (why wouldn't they add offhands wtf?). I want to do mythic dungeons even if there's no reason for me to do them at this point unless I get warforged shit and.. eh whatever. I do however enjoy doing dungeons so might get some groups going soon.

Also, got to kill Gorefiend tonight and I actually really liked that boss. It was fun as fuck for me, even with the ton of raidwide damage as a holypally lol.

Dude. DUDE. Now you just jinxed it. Incoming 10 man "Timewalk" Zul'Aman troll raid in 6.2.5. Now with flying bear mounts.

I think I would actually come back for the xpac if they released a new class. When I came back for WOD I rolled a Monk because I had never played one. I actually enjoyed the class for the most part.

How Warcraft doesn't have a half dozen other new classes yet is beyond me. It has to be multitudes easier now to balance with how baseline everything is these days. Especially if you could sell new classes for $10 like they do in Heroes of the Storm.

You're right really, how in 10+ years we've only managed to get 2 new classes is kind of ridiculous to me. I guess we at least got new races which is cool but eh.

Granted everything is coming down to a "baseline" but it still requires a shit ton of tuning, I would imagine. Not to mention, tier sets, individual quests for that class etc. I know I would love to see some different flavors thrown in - but we've circled this conversation a billion times. A tanking rogue or mage. Support classes that are something other than healers. If they just did a few classes from some of the popular moba's, I would be excited.

Heh, need Jungler, tank derivative that spends the whole fight farming add-packs.

And they do try their best to make every class's spec feel different than the others. Hell, that uniqueness causes them to say things like they don't want people to play Lock demo or if you play Holy Priest you are doing it wrong.

Regardless, we are due for a new class or heavy revamps to other classes. Every class should have a non-dps spec imo.

But then Billy The Rogue would be expected to do something other than be melee DPS #5 on fights that really hate melee DPS. And that would be a negative play experience.

EDIT: Double post.
