[WOW] I guess there's an Expansion coming out this year ? Maybe ?

Prepare for the realm overlay
Blizzard said they prefer to buff people over time with valor points and warforged gear but I prefer when they did the ICC Dragon Soul type nerf to the raid where they buff you or progressively nerf the monsters in the raid.
Alongside that, it seems to be a strong possibility that the Infinite Dragonflight will play a large part in the expansion as well. There've been a lot of rumors and a few 'say-it-without-saying-it' comments from Blizzard that support that theory as well.
We'll know in three days. Woo!
Edit: I am bad at calendars.
My favorite:
What is that?
Man that'd be awesome.
I'm not even joking.
I have always wanted an 'unglued' style xpack (from magic the gathering ages ago) where they just throw a lot of shit in for giggles and have a good time with it. Warcraft has never been srs bsnss even when the lore likes to pretend otherwise. A good year or so of just absurdity could clear the air and be fun.

Interestingly enough, the Exodar is fully functioning now. According to the lore, they fixed it. A spaceship might be useful in the fight against a demonic space horde eh? It also might have been useful in a siege against the capital city of your enemies but I guess Velen is dumb.
So either he's putting that shit back on (yes please) or this really might be some silly alternate reality/time travel xpack as rumored. Which I'm not a fan of. At all.
EDIT: looking closer, actually, I think that's the same thrall image that was a wow wallpaper ages ago before he became jesus shaman thrall.
EDITx2: this one
So nevermind. :rotate:

I know the picture on the b.net site is a picture of thrall from vanilla wow, that's actually being re-used
EDIT: Same with the banner, now that I see it.
I actually want most of the Outland landscape to stay intact. If they just overhauled the quest chains/pacing and possibly some of the leveling path (ie which zones to hit), that would be sufficient.
We suck at normal Immerseus apparently. I might as well never stop moving as a healer, and keeping everyone covered by even 3 healers was tough.
I guess that fight is all about the 1st couple of phase changes though.
Connected Realms but I like calling it the realm overlay since it is a better explanation in fewer words
They could just add more land floating out there up or down and still have the 60-70 content
I would think mostly just the surface targets, since most of Siege was taking place underground.
Not sure what the glowing christmas tree that actually runs the place/owns the ship would've thought in regards to using it for that, though.
Although if the Exodar is up and running finally, does that mean Tempest Keep is finally purged as well? The Exodar was just the fourth satellite ship for it.

I'll won't say 'never' for anything with this game because they've pretty much proven that even if they say a particular feature is something they'll 'likely' never do, that stance ends up being entirely reversed in a few years' time. I do think they'd need a different engine for mounted combat, though, if only because Vashj'ir was a pretty solid indicator of how poorly their combat in 360 degrees seems to work out. I think it's an interesting idea though, and I'd love to see their take on it.
Outland is an odd bird for me. Terokkar, Blade's Edge and Nagrand are all very atmospheric and solid, whereas HFP and Shadowmoon Valley are quite a bit less interesting, visually. The general idea of the aesthetic is solid but the execution is something that definitely could be improved upon, and I believe they've even said as much in past interviews. The mountains just all have that 'melted ice cream' look to them rather than the much more distinctive and natural forms of the newer landscape designs in MoP.
1. Outland isn't touched, time travel is involved and we go to Draenor before it broke apart
2. New landmasses are discovered for the new leveling content, old parts of Outland may get some tweaking
3. It's an entirely new place populated by people who left Draenor when it broke apart and thus nothing is done to Outland
4. Since they are rebalancing everything anyways for the stat squish, Northrend/Cataclysm/Pandaria are retooled to cover level 58-90 and Outland is expanded (or even somehow "repaired") and now covers 90-95 (or 100).
Fuck, why oh why didn't I just jump at that server move deal when I had the chance?
But speaking as someone with nine level capped characters, I just can't understand why people get so fixated on the infinitesimal disparity between class balance these days. Let's be honest: it's as good as it's ever been in this game and it's -still- not good enough for a number of people. Do you really give a shit if your mage does 4% less damage than your warlock? Really?
BL though, their videos are just full of Rigg telling people how shit they are. I don't know why they put up with it.
On class balance, it does annoy me a little. I get nothing beyond my damage as a Mage. Time Warp, yeah sure but we also have 2 Shamans. Our Warlock sits there and does more damage than me, helps out the entire group with lock rocks, and is insanely more bulky than I am due to Fel Armour and Soul Leech. To me, it's less about the damage difference and more than he brings so much more to the group than I do.
I pretty much a few tricks to try and survive big damage, but there's really nothing big enough that a lock can't also tank with Sac Pact or Bargain. It's frustrating to see all that, in addition to being beaten on damage.
Also the Mage 90 talents are fucking horrible and need to be cut into tiny pieces and fed to the dogs.
For me, it's more that I'm not good at more than 2 classes for any given period. Even then, I'm still pressing buttons and hoping for the best on that second class, about 80% of the time.
My guild has 3 mages (including me) that are basically 100% attendance. We're normally all in by mid-tier due to scaling and because we're quick learners, but we've done a bit of pine riding first couple weeks of each tier. Compared to locks and hybrids the class design is just outdated.
OMG this^^^^^
I can't tell you how much people gang up and harass the (i hope) newbie locks in LFR putting out only 40k dps. They get so much shit about it, and I'm not 100% sure they don't deserve it.
So, couple fun things: Guess i'm finally hitting the ok mark on my ret pally. I don't use add-ons, but most times when I see a recount post im pulling 200-220k dps. I 'guess' that's ok.
But hells, man, LFR and Blizz hates me so much. I used ALL my free time to run LFR last week, focusing on my pally since he had 10/10 wisdom and 7/10 power sigils. None drop from SoO at all (as well as no gear in general, which I didnt need so much but was also annoying). Last night I say screw it and do all of ToT. No sigils at all for the first three wings and finally one each for the final wing. LMAO. So I proceed to waste the entire night and do all HoF to unlock ToES to defeat the sha and close out chapter one so I can start afresh today with the stupid valor gate....
A little tired lol. Tell you what tho, I felt like a badass in HoF and ToES lol. We almost downed the first boss doing it in exactly the wrong order first time lol, but that was fun for many reasons (tank had a mix of pvp and reg gear, all below 460).
edit: when I said none drop from SoO I meant only the first two wings of course. I wanted to do final for the first time on my pally but was trying to squeeze all of this nonsense in.
