I've been really into the wow lore lately, I know some people aren't a fan but I really quite like the systems they've made.

I think it's really interesting that we've seen an equivilant of the titans for the force of death as well. Do people think the Naaru are the equivalent for light, or is there a force above the naaru even more closely tied to the force of light?

If the next expansion focused on one of the forces we've not seen, what would people most like to see? We don't know much about Life apart from what the titans and azeroth beings have done. While the legion is gone, there may very well be still the titan equivilant for disorder, I could see an expansion set around going into the twisting nether. Of course the most likely is focusing on the void and finding out more about the forces behind the old Gods.

Who else is excited to see these great teams get pushed to the limits again!? I always learned a lot from the previous seasons so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Lemmy Instances = Realms

"All" is just one giant cross-realm platform. Just like I'd see [player-realm], I see [community@instance]

This platform felt so foreign, but now it has really clicked.

Just a small observation.

Are you optimistic about Blizzard's implementation? Or will you stick to the addon till Blizzard adds something like SSF?

Being a trader myself and as someone whose been hesitant to jump into HC thus far due to trading limits, this seems very promising so far!

Can't login to the game at the moment; Blizzard is apparently looking into the issue.

Hey all, I played WoW: Retail (from and until Legion, only about a year) and a bit of WoW: Classic when it came out.

I'm thinking about playing WoW: Classic again.

What are your must-have addons, tips, tricks, etc?

Thanks :)

As a side, it might be nice to eventually have a pvp-centric community, but for now I feel like this falls under WoW general discussion.

GL to all those warlocks out there, and the healer that love them.

The infinite dungeon will be interesting to see in action, from what I've read there's a chance to get a mount from a past expansion. Though it seems so far only mounts that are still available in game.

As someone who plays a lock, I'm thorn on the pet customization changes. On one hand these are long overdue, on the other hand we are losing some of that customization we already had with the excuse being that they want the silhouettes of pets to be easily recognizable. Apparently hunters having a massive amount of different pets is ok, but locks 4 pets + a couple of glyphs to change their appearance is too much for both lock players and players playing against locks in PvP.

I've been dancing around the idea of getting a SteamDeck and had a couple of questions for anyone running WoW on it. I'm not planning on mythic raiding or anything similar to it, would mostly like to quest, ach hunt, similar "chill" stuff but would definitely like to try and see how playable a dungeon or LFR would be.

It's hard to judge how smooth the game is by YT videos, but I'm very interested in hearing how smooth the game feels when you, for instance, lock the FPS and refresh rate to 40hz? As it seems, at least from what I've seen on YT, that there's a lot of fluctuation in FPS so my line of thought was that locking the fps/refresh to a bit lower value might make things smoother, but please correct me if my assumption is wrong here.

For classes that have pets, any problems with limited number of buttons on the SD, as in any issues with binding some basic pet commands to buttons available on the SD.

Any issues with device getting possibly too hot to play comfortably? I've seen temps reach 70-80C in some of the YT videos.

I've seen some random posts that some addons do not work? Is there a way of mass updating addons other than downloading every single one each time there is an update? Curseforge in AUR is no longer maintained unfortunately.

Please feel free to mention any positive / negative experiences you've had with playing WoW on the SteamDeck. Thank you!

Reddit is forcing mods to reopen subs, as you might know already.

The 2 biggest subs reacted by "invading" r/all with pictures of John Oliver, here's an article about it: Two of the biggest Reddit communities reopened in the funniest way possible.

It would be really fun if r/wow followed suit with Daddy Denathrius (it's an option on the poll).

It's just me and my friend and our many alts right now. We really want more people to play with so we can try pushing some harder keys and grow the guild but we're having no luck so far.

Not really an RP guild or anything. Mostly playing casually right now but we're very interested in trying to get a little group going for raids.

Dunno how people feel on talking about private servers, but I was looking to find a NA one with a good pop? Played on an EU one over the weekend but it was quite with people over there being asleep.

Folks been planning their HC toons/profs for when official drops?

Been trialing a few on unofficial Bloodsail and having a blast.

Feeling good about Priest with ench (until GMW) and then tailoring/skinning.

I'm currently clearing +17 as disco priest and, damn, healing feels really hard compared to last season.

AoE + target damage often deals 80% of one's life in 2-3 sec and it always needs fact reactions, combined with the 25% healer nerf at the beginning of the season, dungeons feel much harder.

What's your opinion on healing ? Is disco much harder ? Am I bad ?

(I wrote this a while ago for r/wow, I thought I'd post it here as well)
I've seen this question being asked often since DF release so I thought I'd group all the options in a single post.

  1. enable tracking of trivial quests
  2. do not pick up more than one starting quest at the same time, you may be phased out from NPCs and unable to progress, if this happens, abandon all starting quests and pick again the one you want to do
  3. if you intend to do all quests in old zones, buy a foam sword, it won't kill trivial enemies

Shadowlands

You don't get the quest anymore by zoning in your capital city.

Alliance
Go to Stormwind, on the stairs to Stormwind Keep there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons.

Horde
Go to Orgrimmar, in front of Grommash Hold (Valley of Strenght) there's a group of death knights with Darion Mograine among them, he will give you the starting quest Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons.

BFA

Alliance/Horde
The starting quest is given by an NPC standing next to a Hero/Command Board in Stormwind/Orgrimmar (not the board itself).

The quest is Tides of War for Alliance and Mission Statement for Horde.

Legion

Alliance/Horde
Go to Stormwind/Orgrimmar, click on a Hero/Command Board and choose Broken Shore/Fighting the Legion.

If the option is not there, pick up all irrelevant quests until "Broken Shore/Fighting the Legion" shows up, pick that and abandon the rest.

WoD

Alliance/Horde
Go to Stormwind/Orgrimmar, click on a Hero/Command Board and choose Tanaan Jungle/Enter the Dark Portal.

If the option is not there, travel to the Dark Portal in Blasted Lands, talk to Kadghar and start the quest "The Dark Portal".

Fast travel to Blasted Lands
Talk to "Vanguard Battlemage". For Alliance she's at the entrance of the Mage Tower in Stormwind, for Horde she's on the bottom floor of the portal room in Orgrimmar next to the portal to Warspear, the option is: I must report to the Dark Portal, it will teleport you directly next to Kadghar (you need the quest from the Hero/Command board for this option to show up).

If for some reason the area is phased to TBC, you'll end up in Outland, you can't go back through the Dark Portal but there are portals in front of you to go back to Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

Travel to Blasted Lands by other means (see bullets below) then look for a chat bubble icon on the upper part of the map, that's Zidormi, go talk to her and she'll make you change phase.
Alternatevely you can go back to a Hero/Command board, pick up all irrelevant quests until "Tanaan Jungle/Enter the Dark Portal" shows up, pick that and abandon the rest.

  • Stormwind: take the flightmaster to The Harborage (Swamp of Sorrows) then fly south to Zidormi.
  • Orgrimmar: take the zeppeling to Grom'gol (Stranglethorn) then either fly yourself to Blasted Lands or take the flightmaster to Stonard (Swamp of Sorrows) then fly to Zidormi.

MoP

Alliance
Go to Stormwind Keep, next to the throne talk to Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth and pick up the quest The King's Command.

If she doesn't have the quest, go to a Hero Board and pick up all irrelevant quests until "The Jade Forest/Report to Stormwind Keep" shows up, pick that and abandon the rest.

Horde
Go inside Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar (Valley of Strenght), talk to General Nazgrim and pick up the quest The Art of War.

If he doesn't offer you the quest, go to a Hero Board and pick up all irrelevant quests until "The Jade Forest/Report to Grommash Hold" shows up, pick that and abandon the rest.

Previous xpacs

There are no intro scenarios, just travel there and start questing.

Note for Outland: Blasted Lands is usually phased to the WoD version, in that case go talk to Zidormi (chat bubble icon on the map) and choose "show me blasted lands before the invasion" then you can enter the Dark Portal to go to Outland.
To fast travel there you can talk to "Honor Hold Mage" at the entrance of the Stormwind Mage Tower for Alliance, and "Thrallmar Mage" on the lower floor of the Orgrimmar portal room next to the portal to Shattrath for Horde.

What's the best way to catch up on the story of WoW? In-game, preferably. I finished up in Zandalar and now I'm in Nazjatar and... Who the hell is MOTHER? Why is there a big-ass sword jammed into Silithus? I feel like the 0-to-hero path thru Zandalar skipped... A lot of steps. So what's the best way for me to play catch-up?

EDIT: For reference, before this year the last time I seriously played WoW was WotLK.

WoW Classic? (lemmy.ml)

Is this community for, retail, classic or HC/SoM? I guess it's not big enough to have to define itself yet, but just curious.

Patch 10.1.5 (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by aRatherDapperFox@lemmy.ml to c/wow@lemmy.ml
 
 

What does everyone think about the changes to Allied Races and Riding Skills? I for one am excited, at least for the Allied Races updates. I don't really mind one way or another for the Riding Skills. It'll be nice not to have to dump a load of gold into skills and basic mounts for each new character, but the game hands gold out hand over fist in the early levels.

I was looking at the requirements for unlocking the Zandalari Trolls earlier tonight, and WOW. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ That's a big time sink! I imagine it'll feel like treason for those who went through all the steps to unlock the allied races prior to the patch... But it'll be nice not to have to drag myself through all those steps. ๐Ÿ˜…

What's the community's thoughts on these changes?

10.1.5 isn't out yet, and there's no official date as far as I know. Just nebulously "this summer." There are more changes, including Warlock coming to a bunch of new races. Full patch notes here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/dragonflight-fractures-in-time-ptr-development-notes/1587226
