World of Warcraft's new Expansion is now Live!
Featuring 4 different Covenants that you align yourself with to level up and gain unique powers, transmogs, mounts, and, unique quests. (Think class halls, but not just for your class).
Shadowlands features a hub city a lot like Dalaran named Oribos, The Undying City.
The first raid of the expansion has been released. Castle Nathria is a dungeon taking place in Revendreth and features the continuing story line from the zone.

The lie of the year.

I did that, but there are plenty 250 amina quests on the map + the weekly so it wasn't a big deal.
(Seriously, don't get why people complain about WQs that you barely have to do anyways).
Gonna be a good week for M+, and maybe to try Heroic Nathria.
The lie of the year.
Eventually (once you unlock EVERYTHING) it's supposed to be more or less equivalent, like Starcraft factions. But Blizz forgot that they dole or the stuff in tiny parts of the whole over the course of many weeks. They specifically admitted it recently. The filler troops have different powers as do the individuals you recruit.
So at low covenant levels, the order of power is approximately Night Fae > Necrolord >>>> Kyrian > Venthyr.
hehe yes my new tuesday ritual is before doing ANYTHING else go to covenant hall and accept all the quests. Fool me once shame on you.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
It could mean you’re poorly stat-optimized. It could mean you’re going into fights with less flasks/food/buffs (since most people at 201 are probably part of very organized groups). It could mean you’re executing less optimally than others. It’s most likely a combination of the three.
You might try running your log through the analyzer.
Boss mechanics are generally built specifically to not be canceled by any gear, so that you have to play the mechanic. It’s unlikely you’ll find such a workaround outside of a bug or exploit.
Feels pretty fucking disappointing with how much they talked up this new system.
You talk clean and bomb hospitals, so I speak with the foulest mouth possible
Well it's the only thing I ever get from these bastards. 5 Kills (3 on the warrior, 2 on the rogue) and no drops whatsoever, not even a conduit. Just 70ish gold and the anima. They are a bit too stingy with drops this expansion. Meanwhile in PvP you can get upgrades at a steady pace if you can stomach it.
Two weeks of raids and I've gotten 0 drops. Two weeks of M+ and I've gotten 0 drops until last night.
That means I've only accumulated 3 "good" pieces of gear so far. Two from my great vault, and one from the Mythic Dungeon weekly event last week. There are 18 total gear slots. I've got 3/18 slots filled with 200+ gear. And my very first ever M+ item dropped last night. It was in one of those 3 slots I already have a piece in. So frustrated with this new loot system.

Edit: Turns out I am very rusty at sub. But its fun if I can get it right. Not the easiest spec.
Try to compare against people of similar ilvl and kill time
If you're not doing content that rewards you higher ilvl in the vault than you're wearing then of course your vault will not give you upgrades.
I'm not sure why this is noteworthy.
presumably they're in something like 5/18 200+ and 13/18 170-190 and got nothing but the 5/18 in their vault.
I'm not sure why it it's hard to understand why that would be frustrating

I'm not sure what's hard to understand about being annoyed by getting a "choice" of three items I'm already wearing. Clearly I was expecting a 200 anyway.

It all feels very suboptimal and hard to build around.
The lie of the year.
Now I get to be paranoid about every single ability on every single healer.
It definitely sucks. Like if I want to do a hard mission on my Kyrian Paladin, I have to roll out all the high level chonks and try to place them as best I can to murder the dangerous things first or murder the trash to get to the dangerous thing, and in a lot of cases they'll still come back injured or unconscious. On the Night Fae alt? I can grab ONE healer companion with bugger all HP, and surround them with the basic melee troop. The 4 troops reduce every monster's damage by 80% ever other turn, and the companion heals the primary meatshield for a large amount and occasionally makes ALL the other troops do double damage. Everything I've thrown them at has been a complete pushover.
Look, I get the frustration, but if you only raid, that's the risk you take and you had a head's up from the vault UI on what to expect. I don't know if you knew that it draws from all raid loot, even the stuff you already have, but them's the breaks. If you want a better chance at actual upgrades, you have to do at least one M+ with a sufficiently levelled key, or get a decent enough rating in PvP. If you can't do those, well, the best you can do is kill the last bosses to add the chance for 207 loot.
sometimes none of the loots are gonna be upgrades because that's how the game works
That is a little frustrating.
I'm gonna sit in the dungeon and see if I can find any groups that have space to join.
Not much further to go for pathfinder too so that is nice at least. Turtle people and the mechagnomes seem like the more difficult ones to rep up with.

yeah this is kind of what i meant
it's always theoretically possible for any amount of choices to roll badly
this new system is not immune to chance.
but getting no upgrade from your box should be an outlier as long as you at least keep doing some M+ and your current raid difficulty each week, which is infinitely better than the single item roll from Legion and BfA in which getting no upgrade was the norm.
I'm sure eventually somebody will have a vault that's all bracers though
Yea, would be cool if I could do that.
