    Is there any way to help push a region to spawn you more WQs?
    I'm less than 1k rep from finishing High Mountain, but the last couple days I've only gotten 3-4 WQs in the zone for HM rep and another 3-4 that are for other factions. I've been ignoring the other stuff, but am I better off completing those to help get more HM quests to spawn or does it not matter and it's all on timers?

    World Quests in Highmountain give Highmountain rep. If they say Wardens or Kirin Tor, they still give Highmountain rep.

    Yeah, this was a little confusing for me in Legion as well. I believe the BfA ones work similarly where all the WQ's in enemy lands give your war faction, and all the WQ's on each of your friendly islands give the rep associated with the zone. (In addition to the listed rep if applicable)

    I thought you meant story setup and I was gonna laugh. Alliance has no fucking clue why we're in there, other than purples. Literally none.

    Yeah, the trash is blessedly short from what we saw, except the crap on Zul's platform. I agree, first impression is it's a pretty nice raid so far. We made it to Zul last night and got a few pulls on him before we had to call it.

    That's what you get for being Alliance.

    Uldir is basically the culmination of the entire Horde leveling experience.

    I found this kinda funny as well. There is basically zero lead up for the alliance to uldir and nobody has a fucking clue of who or what g'huun is.

    Don’t forget to keep an eye on your Legion Mission table too, occasionally you’ll get missions that give rep tokens

    WHAT?! Dangit, I could be done already! That's really confusing to show another faction on the map...does it give rep for both, or are all WQ zone only?

    Factions are tied to zones, or collections of zones. The text on the quest is just supplemental.

    It gives rep for both. All WQs in a zone give rep with that zone's faction, and if they're listed as for another faction they will give additional rep with the listed faction.

    That its been this way for two expansions now makes me suspect its an engine thing.

    As a general rule of thumb for rep in BfA...

    Tortollan rep WQs always give Tortollan + Zone Rep. This means doing Tortollan on the enemy continent will give Honorbound or SI7 (or whatever it's called) for rep.
    Champions of Azeroth will always give Champsion + Zone rep. Same as above for enemy continent.

    So the latency problem has finally gone away in Arathi. Ran around doing quests and killing all sorts of 'rare' enemies. It's fun starting a fight (because nobody else will) and seeing TONS of players flock in. I am a leader!

    Unfortunately I guess the Alliance 'won' the engagement for now so I can't do the scenario. The Horde has to fill a progress bar that I can see. In the last hour they went from 32% to 32%.

    From what I understand the bar will fill up every 3 days or so and the ability to do the scenario will switch. Horde have it right now on Dark Iron (and everywhere?) and then it'll change sides.

    Yes, the Alliance started "in control" once the Warfront went live. The idea here is that it'll generally switch every few days, I wouldn't watch the bar since it's not gonna move much in an hour. That's ~33% in a bit over a day so 4 days or so? Sounds about right and in line with what they said.

    First raidnight and the only thing that dropped was my will to play. We had at least one decent moment in Uldir and it's not a completely terrible raid but all I was really feeling was boredom and that's not a good sign. It ended up convincing me that I'm probably better off taking this tier, and possibly the rest of the expansion, off from progression stuff.

    I wonder how quickly it'll move. The turn-ins aren't repeatable. Many of the turn-ins, effectively, cost a TON of gold right now. And these aren't things that players would naturally be doing, like with the buildings on Broken Shore. Hmm.

    Yeah, it's Alliance right now, Horde filling up the bar everywhere. In fact the bar itself is being filled up by literally every Horde on every server.

    I thought the bar was being filled by the non daily dailies?

    By the way funny detail I noticed. There's a contingent of Forsaken Troops in Arathi called "The Defilers." You know what happens when you beat them near death? They run away. Because the Forsaken are cowards who can only fight when they have their stupid plague.

    Arathi is odd because it is full of 120+ mobs but still has all this left over stuff when it was a level zone for like 30's.

    So much iron and tin.

    They're actually an anti tax group, they don't believe anyone should have to file. It's why they live out in the sticks.

    It's really nice going back to a part of the game that's old and familiar but has been made relevant again. I wouldn't want the ENTIRE game built that way because things aren't special. But returning to Arathi is great. That place has a lot of memories for me stretching back to Vanilla WoW. I got some of my first PvP kills there. "Druid at (wherever), free honor!"

    I mean, I like being back in the older parts of the game because it's kind of a reminder of

    2) what all the characters and NPCs in said game are fighting for

    They changed the rate of Azerite gains from island expeditions toward the weekly goal, what the fuck.

    At least I got the funny-aside just now. The moonkin on one of these islands takes me back to Cataclysm Plaguelands. "GET READY FOR DE MOONFIRE."

    I just got a quest to go to Azshara, out of nowhere. I took the portal to Silithis, jumped to the flight point at the very tip of Uldum, and am flying up to Ashenvale.

    Man oh man is there a full moon out tonight for island expeditions. Every group I had, except for the first, had one or two people being total jackoffs or idiots. In my last one, one of our guys was AFK right at the start. You have to manually accept to join into an actual scenario (unless mods auto-accept now and create this problem). So that shit was on purpose. Then our replacement guy was a dingdong who would get knocked back from a boss during fights, and rather run back to it he would like forget about it and start running around to open more chests / tap mines / gather more enemies while we're already engaged with the Horde and boss at the same time.
