    Yeah, other than the queue time for Shado-Pan, I really do enjoy that concept.

    And oh good, they hotfixed it.

    "The PvP Brawl first win of the day now properly awards 40 Conquest."

    I was wondering about that, it was only giving 15 yesterday.

    I got hit with that bug where you can’t release in battlegrounds, thought I’d fixed it, queued for the brawl. It wasn’t fixed. Then our tank left. You can imagine how well that went.

    The next round, the opposing team decided to come at us one by one like bad guys in a Kung fu movie, and completely ignore me, so we won even faster than I’d just lost that 3v5. I called it a day after that, figured I’d peaked.

    finally got a weapon to drop in uldir last night, finally replacing the 330 i've been using since the second or third week. Feels like an easy 1k extra DPS from one upgrade.

    Problematic as the weekly Conq stuff is, I'm actually enjoying arenas for the first time since uh...TBC? Potentially I'd have enjoyed them in previous expansions but I just completely stayed out of them after I sort of lost interest in queued PvP, but the weekly cache is more than enough incentive for me and it's just so much easier than crossing your fingers for the daily BG wins.

    Guys. In a surprising twist, I am now in the "looking forward to it" camp for the Zuldazar raid.

    I'm hoping I get to kill lots and lots of gnomes in that raid.

    Maybe.

    Alchemy has not been nearly the money maker I was hoping it would be. Not really sure how to make cash on the AH without learning TSM these days.

    I really want that pirate ship though.

    Finally go to dive into Uldir this cycle instead of just a bunch of stumbling one off pugs and it really is a great raid.

    I used to main a gnome warrior as a tank way back in the day...and I hope you get to kill all the gnomes.

    Also I get why MOTHER fucks with pugs since 100% of the fight challenge is in coordination, but man Mythrax being such a pug roadblock really caught me off guard.

    I've had one troll wipe us and then get kicked but a handful of stupid deaths is kind of part of what you're signing up for.

    Any way to check progress for that boat? I started up a 3 month sub right as BFA hit and it would be a lot easier for me to do another 3 months than a full 6.

    Not sure. I know I've had a 6-month sub going for a bit and I got the mount.

    Vehicle flying mounts always look weird in motion to me. Like those airships from the other year. Giant flying boxes.

    According to the advertisement on the official site this is how it works.

    In addition, WoW players who have purchased the 180 Days Game Time service in the Shop within the past 30 days** or who are currently on a 6-month recurring subscription will receive the Dreadwake mount at no additional charge. Look for the gift icon in your Blizzard Battle.net desktop app to claim yours.***

    Neat. I like free things I don't have to do anything special to get :3 I was gonna pass on that when I thought it was just going to be a shop mount, but hey, free is nice.

    So not 6 months cumulative, but 6 months all in one go I'm guessing.

    Mount will also be available in 2019 as a cash shop mount if you're not comfortable dropping 6 months on the game.

    Of course some people on the official forums are back-patting themselves and fist pumping as if this is proof that Blizzard is dying and we're all doomed and this is some pitiful cash grab to secure subscriptions so they look good.

    Maybe they're right. Me i just think that they had these things ready to go for awhile and released them on pirates day to be thematic.

    BFA has problems. But i still dearly love this game and have for almost fourteen years so i may be a little biased.

    WoW's been dying since the tail end of WotLK, technically. It was all uphill until then.

    I'm always on the 6 month thing, despite the ups and downs here and there, WoW has always been a pretty phenomenal value for the buck for me.

    Ran LFR twice now on some alts. Both times was nearer to the end of the week - both were clean runs, no losses.

    I mean yeah I guess its something they haven't done before but that's only a sign of weakness if you're looking for one.

    The last time they did something like this is that Contract thing where you promised to stay subscribed for a year and you got diablo for free and the tyreals charger mount.

    I think this is pretty standard MMO practice. FFXIV and SWToR both give cosmetic items to consistent subscribers. If it were just a cash grab, Blizzard would be advertising it as a perk that will be awarded in six months for paying for your sub now.

    I get the idea behind the promotion but, a flying ship that you can't fly (yet) that also can't float on water seems a little...odd, to offer right now.
