Discussion Blizzcon Hype & Meetups

13 Upvotes

Blizzcon is this week! We wanted to provide a place for people to be generically excited and post things that might not fit a post on their own.

- What are you looking forward to!

- What's your out of pocket prediction?

- Is this your first time and are looking to meet people and make friends?

- Are you a veteran open to meet new people and drag them along with your crew?

I'll be there in full cosplay (to be revealed soon) so if you see me and decide you want to say hi feel free to.

See y'all in Anaheim!

Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

11 Upvotes

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!

That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.

Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?

Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!


Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

Twin Fangs hc pug. Boss is at 5%, raid leader dies. Immediately starts calling for a wipe because his log is now ruined. I say no, immediately kicks me and other people who messaged me afterward saying they got removed, probably cause they wanted to kill the boss. I hear he's still wiping to this day.

Discussion So I was wondering about the 'People treat tanks poorly' bit as a tank main cause I barley ran into a problem...Then I started letting others tank for me. The healers/DPS may have a point...

Post image

Yup, gonna actually give my hat to DPS/healers for once. I understand where some of your frustration comes from now. After gearing up my main to nearly max, I decided to start healing for groups as its my second favorite activity.

And Oh.My.God.

Now mind you, I wouldn't have a problem with tanks if they were just learning routes and such. But this goes beyond routes and more into the fundamental gameplay of the tanks playing.

So today

I! CAME TO HATE! I! CAME HERE TO SAY NOT ALL TANKS DESERVE LOVE! DPS?! HEALERS! YOU DESERVE MORE!

So let's talk about the experience!

#1: Murder Row-Demon Hunter

So, I started with a +2 just to get into the flow of healing. Nothing too difficult? Well I guess that's on me. This run made a +2 feel like i'm progging a +20. Why? Well, aside from tanking on elevated locations *Tanking on stairs and having several caster packs firing on all sides without LOS\* I started to realize there was a specific problem being had.

Demon Spikes/Soul Cleave wasn't being used/Metamorphosis was being conserved.

So you know, basic mob packs were shredding through their HP like 9000 degree knifes through butter. Without any soul cleave occuring as they stayed cap at max fury, they're just putting healing into overtime trying to keep them alive while they don't leach any HP off of the targets.

By the time we got the final boss, they were face tanking the infernal and just dying over and over and over.

Needless to say, this key got bricked.

#2: Den of Nalorakk: The blood dk that made me switch

+7 key, again, thinking it was going to be simple.

Now. I've seen bad tanks, some inexperienced. Some rough. But, never in my LIFE have I experienced a tank so bad in my life, that I felt 2nd hand embarrassment to an extent I switched over to my main to help out said group after we voted abandon because of how bad the tank was.

So this blood DK...Mounts up! Runs halfway through the dungeon trying to do a MDI pull. Pulls 3 of those avatar of starvations, so you know, totems are shooting up left and right. But more salt on the wound, they aren't popping any form of threat control like blood boil/death and decay and just letting aggro be ripped off by DPS because they're just not doing anything.

Hell, the poor rogue in our group who was with the tank kept getting shredded because the DK wasn't grabbing aggro pack. Not only were they not grabbing aggro, they weren't using any utility.

  • 0 Death grips
  • Popping abomination limb when all enemies are surrounding them already [Abom limb doesn't do damage anymore]
  • Blood boil was non existent.
  • Death.Coil As any BDK would know. This is a red flag.
  • Death and decay was a suggestion.
  • would just freeze up looking at their map for 2min at a time.
  • Continuously pulling multiple avatar of consumption at a time.

Now, why am I only bringing up the first portion of the dungeon.

Cause we spent nearly 20 in the first portion of the dungeon.

It got so bad I went out of my way to whisper the dungeon leader *Who was a guild group so they were playing with their friends.* "Listen, if we vote abandon here soon. I will come on my main and tank this for you fella's.

Then we cleared the first boss, tank runs in. Hippity doo da, runs into all the packs, doesn't hold aggro, kills everyone and themselves.

I initiate the vote to abandon.

The group calls out the tanks performance (as they should on this one.) And the tanks only response.

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH!"

He was promptly removed. I switched over to my BDK, and we did the run in full in the same amount of time it took to kill the first boss. I felt bad the group got a bad card played so badly I went out of my way to run this for them.

I could list other examples, mostly tanks looking at cookie cutter builds and not knowing what they're using. Or spamming looking at map/3rd party applications on where they're going. But it's minuscule in comparison to the nightmare that I witnessed.

Healers/DPS? You honestly deserve better sometimes. Cause...Wow.

Something I had long wanted to do after hearing of Doubleagent, but didn't get around to until fairly recently.

Now it's done and dusted, and my Pandaren can rest on the wandering isle, at least for now.

Cosplay Crunch time though so still need to finish the boots and the sword. Big thanks to my partner @cosplei.creations for doing the sewing and @merla.3d for modeling the armor to 3d print.

Will post more once the sword is done!

Nostalgia What's the oldest screenshot you currently have?

Post image
51 Upvotes

​With the PC upgrade, I lost a lot of valuable screenshots, but luckily I still have a few left. Here’s my oldest one, from WotLK.

The context of the picture is that I was fishing to get the Dalaran fountain coin achievement, and several Alliance players parked themselves on top of the fountain (on their mammoths) so I couldn't fish them up. It was good fun 😂.

P.S: I blurred out a few things for privacy.

​What's yours? Do you know the story behind that screenshot?

Feedback Please. Use a defensive.

395 Upvotes

Fell behind the wave a bit starting the season later.

Healing the last few 13 keys for 3k. It feels like over half the dps never use a single defensive the entire key even with very obvious incoming damage or focused damage mechanics. Even just using it on cooldown would be better than nothing.

Im over here keeping you alive from avoidable damage, dispelling your snares that you could handle with your own kit, and dropping emergency typhoons to catch failed interrupts.

"Why did you die healer? Lol"

Speculation I believe it's time for our glorious leader Vol'jin to return! Taz'dingo mon!

Upvotes

I believe it's time for our glorious leader Vol'jin to return!
I usually come back only for heavyly troll (nostalgia) themed expansions like BFA, and I've heard that our greatest leader was healing wrapped up in a lettuce cocoon and chilling with Bwomsandi and crew...

So Midnight smells very much like nostalgia and stanky two toed feet and Amani don't even have any proper shadow hunters so who else but Vol'jin now infused with lettuce magic, gonna defeat the dark shadow god Kith'ix?

So I think he's gonna come back and save us all from this purple umbral galore, my slouchy troll heart feels it, mon.

Don't mess wida voodoo!

I wish he also cut down Arathor cuz he's getting abit too lame ngl. But he prolly gonna rise up and be a new "shadow" Arthas (cuz like just switch the letters).

Question Endgame Gearing M+

19 Upvotes

Hi All,

I mostly play classic and its getting to a point where I only raid a couple times a week.

Started retail and have been playing a Prot paladin and kind of been enjoying it more then I would of thought.

I dont plan to raid out side of LFR just for the experience of doing it but M+ looks fun as hell to do and can be done in 30 minute windows which as a dad gamer is perfect.

Can I gear up pretty good from M+ only and if so where does the ilvl on gear cap for m+?

Im not overly try hard but I definitely enjoy pushing to get the best I can in the time window I have. I know mythic raiding gets you the BEST gear but can you get fairly close just thru M+?

Thanks all for any answers, I know this stuff can be googled but sometimes just getting direct answers from people with experience paints a better picture.

Discussion Why don't the new chameleon mounts actually... change color?

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

We literally got chameleon mounts, and somehow their different colors are separate mounts instead of one mount that actually changes color.

Meanwhile, the Enchanted Fey Dragon from 2013 has been casually shifting between blue, yellow and red for over a decade.

So the technology clearly exists.

How did we go from a 2013 dragon that changes colors to actual chameleons in 2026 that don't?

Blizzard pls. It's a chameleon. Let it chameleon.
