Hi fren come play wow with me. I wanna see stuff before it’s obsolete and the only way to see it is through a really exhaustively long quest chain with robots and shit. 🙃
I’m gonna be on tonight likely between around 7pst to when I get tired/my ancient joints scream in agony for me to please take a break (like 11? 12PST??) so if anyone wants to fart around come hang I miss yas.
sadly the game is pretty much dead to me till shadowlands
will probably finish getting characters to 120 since idk what I'll play yet but i gave up grinding buggo mounts because doing so sucks

I might finish up researching how to handle it, and try scheduling something. I guess if we needed fill ins we could pug. No scaling means any extra damage is free damage.

they actually buffed the drop rate off corpse eater to be... idk what but i got it the very day of that hotfix so much better than it was before
is this in addition to the droprate hotfix like 1-2 months after patch or is that the one you mean
the one i primarily lost interest in grinding is the one for visions doodads because i really dont like doing them in general especially not solo warlock

I started trying to do visions again, and I have my rogue just about at the point where 5 masks becomes possible.
And man, the difference in classes in there is starting to show. Balance wasn't terrible, but Rogue in general just feels so potent. Having stealth, intense burst sessions, so much defensive ability, control, a vanish for a reset, a regular interrupt. The list is so long. I can just cheese a lot of bosses by timing a cloak correctly. My only weakness is AOE but its still significantly better than Balanace.
I also have been getting my Shaman caught up on the cloak and its ok. Has good burst damage options but lacks a LOT of that utility. I guess having access to heroism helps though. I didn't bother bringing in drums with any class I used otherwise.
I am going to start getting a Monk geared and into them. I wonder how that will go.

Man, I still haven't got the courage up to 5 Mask run Stormwind.
Really, I should have done it last week with Split Personality not being on the table.
Buuuuut Stormwind is such a consistent pain in the neck that I didn't want to bother.

In all honesty, 75% of Stormwind is easier. Like getting 3 sides down can be done with more masks earlier due to how well done the pathing is, and how well spaced the elites are. It is just mage quarter that dicks you over. Even then, if you can get a solid path through there it isn't that bad either.
People have lots of trouble with Rexxar and he alone is enough to make a full 5 mask of Org harder. But the boss with the line attack and the ring of orbs is just as fucking bad. Shit all over the place, you can't see ANY effects from madnesses. Adds that you have to kill AFTER the fight (unless rogue, then thank god for vanish). I hate that guy. Also that area has what I think are the hardest mobs in the channeled stun. And in that same area, is a pull with two. It takes creativity for some classes to deal with them when they can survive burst in high numbers of mask runs.

IIRC you never have to do the double manipulator pack to get the 100% and spawn the boss, it's a skippable pack.

You can get 100% without killing everything in there? Well shit I never bothered to pay attention, I just figured I had to kill it all.

yeah i did it with 5 characters a day when it was up before and after that hotfix and never saw anything and then i gave up doing all of it once we finished cheevos and hit the between expansion limbo
i just didnt even want to keep logging in, so i went and bought all the remaining netherdrakes on my vanilla character instead

Mecha-Done indeed.
Now I just have to decide if I want to keep trying for the low drop chance mounts from those two rares.
random hot take: with how much they've started to just litter every patch zone with Rare Spawns with a bunch of mount drops there's really no reason to not just mark the spawn locations of rares on your map by default, no addons needed

They've really going overboard with it, i think. Here is "rare" that spawns every 30 minutes on the clock at this exact location every time. But it drops garbage. But super duper rarely it drops a mount. But you can only loot it once a day. But it dies within seconds of spawning!
It's like the Homer Simpson buying a poisoned donut bit.

It would be nice if Blizzard stole the B, A, and S rank (plus S++ rank) hunt system from FFXIV.
You can pick up a weekly quest to kill one of the B rank targets in the game. It rewards a decent amount of a couple of currency types that are mostly aimed at earning older rewards. B ranks respawn as soon as they are killed at one of a variety of fixed spawnpoints in their zone. They are fairly easy and are intended to be soloed.
A ranks are larger special enemies that can spawn at a variety of potential spawn points within their respective zones. They respawn between 3 to 5 hours after being killed. No quest is needed to get the rewards. They reward everyone who took part in the kill with about 1/3 of a dungeon run worth of currency. They take about 1 group to kill, but they are a shared tag.
S ranks are very large special enemies that can be spawned by completing certain criteria 36 to 72 hours after their last death. They give 1/2 to a full dungeon run worth of currency. They require 3-4 groups to kill.
S++ ranks are additional even more powerful enemies that may potentially be available to spawn after killing the zone's S rank. Typically a variety of enemies spawn across the entire zone and they need to be killed or other criteria needs to be met within a fairly short timeframe in order to spawn the S++ rank, which rewards even more currency. They tend to require 5-6 or more groups to kill.
Special Zone Worldquest Mount Bosses. These are much longer spawns and the world quest is on a 36-72 hour respawn after death. When the world quest appears, the target will have a barrier up and be immune to attacks for 15-20 minutes. When the barrier drops, all people who take part in the kill will get a token. 3 tokens are required to buy the mount from a special vendor. This is basically a S++ in strength boss.

signed up for a random group at mythic jaina, wasn't even expecting to get invited, it seemed like it was going to shit in the phase change but i saved the run with the azerite beam
Because I'm such a selfish person I made some guild calendar invites for Tuesday night at the normal raid time to do normal and heroic Nzoth so I can catch up on my cloak
If anyone else wants to help or needs to get more corruption resist and has fallen behind like me or just has the itch to play some WoW again, we should go in and do a quick kill because pugging is seriously awful I'm not kidding.
EDIT: Please note I do not have the N'zoth skip so if someone who does could show up and carry us that would be swell

I have alts I would love to raid on. Tempting to just move my shaman to horde now and do it.
If this goes well we should seriously do some jaina raids as well for the mount. Zay is now obliged to help.
I'm reading a shadowlands interview and this quote is driving me insane
“Building a zone where things are very pretty and things are, at least in the beginning, fine and things are not on fire everywhere is definitely a unique challenge for the design team."
This statement is seriously messing with me. Why is the task of 'make a nice place that's not on fire' presented as such a difficult creative endeavor for the WoW team?

yeah you can basically skip 1 pack of choice or whatever. I never do the pack that's by the altar... thing, unless a chest spawned there.
yeah that's the one
