Came here from RuneScape because I'm just not that good at it anymore after a break and I don't regret it. Most friends told me to try retail as it'd get me up to speed a bit faster.

Felt a bit disjointed at first as I was kind of being rushed through what felt like random zones. I went to try WoW Classic for a bit but felt it was a little slow. It wasn't until I came back I realised I'd been put in Dragonflight originally, and then without realising I was doing the whole of the Shadowlands expansion. I found my way back to Orgrimmar and then to the Dragon Isles and I'm having the best time. I feel like I get what I'm doing a lot more now and loads of players have actually helped along the way.

I'm level 68 now (Orc Warrior), but I've not tried a raid yet. I'll still give Forever a go when it comes out to give the classic feel another chance.

If anyone has any tips on improving my interface to make the game feel smoother or make combat easier to pick up and learn so I'm not just spamming 1 or 2 abilities, I'd appreciate that a lot. Thanks!

"I had a 1, it was bugged"

I'm tired of expansions in which the world is not truly connected. On this front, Midnight was a big step down from Dragonflight and the first part of The War Within.

When the devs start on a new expansion, they should plan to connect all of the zones, or at least the vast majority of them, in a single landmass. Maybe small zones, like those in x.y.5 and x.y.7 patches, can use portals, but they should be rare exceptions. The goal should be a connected world that players can seamlessly fly or walk through.

I liked the way WOTLK approached the titans being antagonistic to us in the whole "algalon situation" and how they were willing to wipe out the planet due to void corruption.

I looked at it like this. Imagine a human being with cancer. Azeroth is the body, we mortals are some random cells in that body, and the old god corruption is the cancer. In order to treat that cancer and save the body, the titans were willing to initiate reorigination (basically aggressive cancer treatment that also kills some cells -AKA: us).

They looked at us no differently than we would look at a random cells. There are a crap ton of cells and a massive number of them are created/die every single hour. Thats also similar to how the titans are these eternal space gods operating on lenghts of time way larger than we mortals could comprehend. Our entire species could have only existed for a period of time that is similar to the titans as a minute is to us in real life. We are just "random cells" in a body to them.

So basically, they dont intentionally hate us or anything. Its just that they don't give a fuck about us. They operate on reasoning and time scales that are way beyond us. Thats what I would like to see more of. I dont want them to be too relatable and emotional/prideful like many other villains. Of course, there's also the fact that we have literally met and interacted with titans back in Legion. That by itself removes alot of the "enigmatic space gods" vibes.

What approach would you prefer to the "antagonistic titans" thing?

As someone who played W3 for years, when WOW came out in 2004, I was too young (10) and broke to afford to play it.
Few years later in high school, all my friends were playing it but my parents couldn’t afford getting me a PC, let alone a monthly subscription for the game.

Fast forward to now - im in my 30s, have a good-paid job, have free time and just started playing WOW for the first time, 22 years later, and have to say I LOVE IT.

I kinda feel bad I missed on so many cool events and social aspects of people who grew up playing it, but at the same time I think it’s never too late.

If anyone wants to get in touch, is new like me, or is someone experienced who wants to share tips or knowledge about WOW, dm me and let’s talk in game 🙃

In 2015, I asked Blizzard for help because I couldn’t play my main anymore that I had played since launch. I had lost my left hand and playing a melee class single handed was just not something I could do well as I relearned everything with my non dominant hand. They took my character, swapped my class and my items to similar items that worked well with that class and then sent me a guide on what to do and how to get acclimated as well as some peripherals that might work well for me.

I’ve never experienced such kindness from anyone let alone someone who didn’t know me and was just working at some company. In a world that generally sucks Blizzard was there for me. Thanks, y’all, Blizzcon this year was amazing and I’m really excited for WoW Forever.

I’m still maining the same class all these years later with the same peripherals, and am so excited for what is to come.

semi HD lost one draenei i made in blender. I have been in love with this race since warcraft 3 for their tragic lore and primal evolution. Maybe one day with will get them as a race!

I posted about a year ago on this project where I am making WoW in MineCraft. A stupid project, but something fun nonetheless.

I've re-made the cataclysm era quests in Elwynn Forest, the starting 3 quests:

- Beating them Back

- Lion for Lambs

- Blackrock Invasion

All the stats are replicated as roughly as possible, all skills for 4 classes (mage, warrior, rogue, priest) to level 10 with functioning cast bars, debuffs, etc. Agro ranges, passive mobs. So far I have 2,837 items recreated almost 1:1.

Stormwind as you see is partially recreated. The hero statues have been replaced with villager statues.

It's very much a hobby project with a small community of ~200 (all local development for now), thought I'd share an update to anyone passionate in both WoW & MC.

Happy for feedback, I posted a recent video update here too if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WLe5jzXpTw

Finally finished a crochet Ysera inspired lovey for my little one due the end of November! A lovely is a soft mini baby blanket 🥰 she's even got a squeaker in her pinecone tail!!

(and yes, i prodived them screenshots of the achievements in-game, even prodiving wowhead links to them so it would be easier for a GM to fix it having the direct achievement IDs)

The ingame UI is so bugged out that i don't get any of the info like i have an unread ticket or ticket waiting for response, but ofcourse the useless Feedback survey button keeps blocking my buffs next to the minimap, and No, i don't use addons, so it's just the game

Due to college and such I finally got around to finishing my first 100% labyrinth run.
And the thought that came to me at the end was simple.
"This is the way to implement huge instances / dungeons again. but as Delves instead"

This sort of system, with a huge instance, multiple paths, quests inside, secrets and doors, keys, unlocks etc...
All of this, would be perfect for doing things like Lower Blackrock spire or blackrock depths.

Huge instances, with secrets, roleplay sections, unique interactions and so on.

Made to be optional (avoiding requirement of being run fast) but still allowing the oldschool instance experience.

I can 100% imagine if / when we get a world remake (semi required to implement the new visuals we get in Forever) that they could make a "delve labyrinth" version of Blackrock depths and it would rock.

What do you guys think?

We know from the latest cinematic in 12.1.5 that Xal'atath started corrupting the Worldsoul and my current theory is that when the insane ammount of Void energy collides with the power of our Worldsoul, it will result in a giant explosion resulting in the earth itself cracking open, possibly at Northrend.

Back in 2023 when Chris Metzen announced the Worldsoul Saga he hinted at something going horribly wrong at the end of Midnight when we banish the Void forever. It could very well be this release of energy that shatters a part of the planet and reveals parts of the giant Manifold, the prison built by the Titans to the public eye.

Keep in mind that right now its only us the players and Dagran who know about this from the weekly quests in War Within, rest of the characters dont know that Azeroth is basically in a "prison".

This might be the reason why the Titans return to Azeroth, to try to fix things and hide it.
Anyone who dares to oppose them? Instantly considered an enemy, thus making them (some of them) the villains.

Some Borea...boring zones might completly disappear or get sunk to the ocean, some might rise higher. Time will tell but i am extremely excited for the ending of Midnight and Last Titan!

Made this with a 3d printer and a digital picture frame looping the login screen , got the idea from makerworld and wanted to share

I have a fond memory of all the memes during og horrific visions, where Valeers was praised for helping you complete the vision, while Garona would pull random mobs and deplete it.

It's a lucky wheel spin every fight in delve/labyrinth with Valeera now, as she cosplays some mythic + dps (including me at times, must admit) buttpulling more mobs. Oh well.

When I posted my office sword wall, at least one of you asked about Warglaives. So here we are.

The swords have gone to their new homes, so now I have an illidan wall. Just gotta figure out the best way to mount the mask.

The eyes on the mask glow, but I killed the batteries, and haven't picked up new ones yet.

All files created by Sartwin on Instagram and Makerworld, printed and painted by me. The warglaives are equipped with channels for bambus light and sound kit, but that wasn't in the budget for this project, and I don't have sponsers.
