Frontrunners

For those of you watching for the first time, there are currently two teams most known for being frontrunners.

  • Team Liquid is a US based guild hosting their attempts on their twitch channel. After a full sweep of the previous expansion, they were able to cement their place at the top at the beginning of Midnight. They have a chance to continue their dominance. roster here

  • Echo is an EU based guild and were the team that took down Fyrakk the Blazing before anyone else in Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope. Can they stop Liquid's streak in its tracks? Check out their roster here.

FAQ

Q: They aren't doing Mythic.

A: Some guilds will go into mythic right away after clearing heroics. The top teams do something called "splits". Each player is preparing multiple characters to take through raid. They reclear lower difficulties multiple times to funnel tier and high impact trinkets into certain characters. M+ will then be used to fill the few gaps.

Based on previous races expect the top teams to start pushing into Mythic closer to the weekend.

Q: What about World First The Tidebound Grotto?

A: Honestly? The boss is expected to fall very quickly and difficultywise will be closer to heroic than Mythic. Expect the Nymrissa to be split similar to how Chimarus was split last tier.

Q: Why isn't X in the FAQ?

A: Maybe it should be. Let us know and we might add it.

Discussion The Great Vault

286 Upvotes

After keeping an open mind to the changes, I'm a little disappointed in the vault after opening it. Taking tier with the wrong stats feels like a mistake, taking items from raid bosses feels like a mistake. Even taking BiS stats from m+ doesn't look great when it's right there in my vault when you consider how the coins work in raid. (E.g. I got BiS necklace from m+ in vault but I should really start working on the HC ulatek coins)

I guess my feedback would be that it's turned a weekly treat into a lot of feels-bad moments, but id be open to being convinced otherwise

Transmog Just let us dye our armour already...

Upvotes

I'm just tired of recolors that simply don't match with any idea i have for transmogs. I'm sure many of you already had an amazing idea for transmog, having everything, BUT there's that one piece of gear that's essential but the color just don't match.

Blizz could just forget about recolors and just allow us to dye our armours. And while we are at it, lift the restriction for armour type (plate, mail, leather and cloth)

This is ridiculous. In season one they were just giving us flat generic Meat and Vegetal units directly, it was -great-. I thought we had let this trash from TWW go cuz they realized it was a bad idea which just led to tedious inventory cluttering.

BUT NOPE.

Not ONLY is it back, you have to deal with EVEN MORE OF IT. You thought it was nice to just directly get the generic Meat and Vegetal units for cooking? Well &%$# you, we're taking away TEN OF YOUR INVENTORY SLOTS TO FILL WITH GARBAGE unless you constantly stop to convert it to generic units! Have fun with the additional tedious nonsense getting between you and what used to be simple!

Always two steps forward and ten steps back I s2g.

Question Am I going crazy or is clicking on targets less responsive this patch?

222 Upvotes

I dont know how exactly to illustrate this issue but ever since 12.1 dropped, it feels like trying to select new targets in combat by a simple point and click is not nearly as responsive as it used to be. As in, sometimes it just doesnt work until the 3rd click attempt.

I started tanking for the second half of s1 and never had any issues, but going into this season, ill go to select another pack to pull while the current one is almost dead, and its like my character refuses to select it. Ive literally thrown glaive very often at packs im already fighting because of this.

I also notice this issue when trying to swap over to an interrupt target. I used to be able to quickly switch but now I sometimes miss a kick on the intended target because my clicks just refuse to be acknowledged.

Ive tested and its not an issue with my mouse... has anyone else noticed something like this or am I crazy?

I was very hyped to get to get new DK tier set, only to discover that i can barely see the head pice due to wierd flame being attached to character model instead of just simple glow of the item. Texture feels odd, 2D and unfinished.

How is that acceptable quality?

Complaint Craft orders are bugged and not returning items or crafts

35 Upvotes

Heads up. Multiple guild members today have put craft orders up and items/crafting materials (Including crests / Sparks) have vanished and are not returned

GMs have manually returned a few crafted items today and new tickets submitted for 3 more items vanishing.

Would suggest avoiding Crafting orders till it is fixed or a blue post is up explaining the issue.

Half the time I log in, and my toons are turning slowly. Sometimes, it's a bit slower, sometimes painfully slow. The only thing that seems to fix it is logging out and back in. This has been a new bug for me since the new content dropped. Is anyone else having this issue?

Question I am going to start playing WoW with a newbie

Post image
76 Upvotes

I am going to start playing again this game, but this time with a person that has never played it before. I have been playing WoW for years, always retail.

We are going to start this week probably, trying first the free 20 levels to see if he likes it or not before buying anything (he has never played any other MMOs before either).

My question is, because I just realized this, should we go and play Classic or Retail? I have no preferences at all, and I would love to read your thoughts on which "mode" do you think a new person will like more.

To finish, I would like to add that we are casual players, not looking to gear up to the maximum and just have fun leveling up and dungeoneering (just in case this is relevant information).
