We thought WoD was legit too, and the world and quests were, but there was no content to back it up. legion is going to look legit til 4 months after its release and blizzard makes and update taht gives you a new selfy cam. Learn from previous expansions friend, it doesnt matter how legit it looks if it isnt supported and doesnt have content updates its going to be a bad game. And this is something we can only truly tell after the game comes out.

>>324384565

The new transmog system creates a library of every item you own and lets you select any item freely like in Diablo III.

It will also add every item from every quest you've ever done to that library, including quest rewards you didn't pick.

>>324382301
This. If Blizzard had so many great ideas, they would have already implemented them into WoD already. The expansion that felt dead from day one.

>>324387705

Don't have a source but it was in a huge recap from or after Blizzcon on MMO-Champion.

It's probably the simplest way for them to handle the situation since they can check what quests you've finished but not neccessarily what reward you picked.

>>324384605

What are the changes to Frost? I know they're becoming the dual wield spec for Death Knights but that's about it.

I just want them to call it a day on WoW and release a WoW 2 already.

It will probably be the first expansion pack I don't play though, not cause it will be shit - I quite liked the last one - but mainly most of my friends from vanill/TBC/WotLK no longer player, including my guild leader who was one of my best pals.

We're getting old, he eventually quit to spend more time with his family.

>frost mage
>no longer gets frostbolt

why tho...

>>324388816
Playing it from 100-106, it feels a bit like the pre-DS style of frost. KM only affects Oblit now and the GCD is affected by haste instead of the flat 1 second one we have now. HB is also really overtuned atm, especially with the Freezing Fog talent that does 100% more damage to your primary target.

It feels really awful with the premade gear due to low haste, but felt a lot better with around 4500 haste in questing gear.

>>324388545
WoD was a mistake. Everyone saw this coming. The story was going to shit the bed harder than it ever shit it before. It was going to surpass "THERE MUST ALWAYS BE A LICH KING" levels of retardation.

Lo and behold, there is never anything good to come from time travel if it isn't the main setting and point of the plot.

>>324388816
Killing Machine now only works for Obliterate, giving Obliterate some good precedence to use to proc Rime. The talents ease out Frost's overall gameplay, and make it more than possible for 2H to work like DW purely aesthetically post Legion (Unless Blizzard goes full retard like they did with Blood DW), and they made Remorseless Winter into a pretty cool spell with some additional stuff you can choose to boost it.

No more KM fucking up your rotation, no more having to prioritize Oblit or Frost Strike randomly thanks to KM being completely random, no more reliance on Defile, no more insane downtime, better rune regeneration and handling, etc.

I think the game is actually very fun to play right now, there is just no content. There has always been a very legitimate gripe with the game, the current gripe most have, no or little content, is a very valid one. We have reached the emblem of frost stage like from WOTLK where geared or good players farm old instances for currency, or in reality to populate the pool of LFR/LFG groups so worse or newer players get carries. At least (most) of the other expansions added some new instances as time went on. Even if they weren't challenging to people in good gear they were new content. But BRF was ready to go on day one of WoD, and they held off for 6.1 to release it. When an entire expansion really only gets one patch of any significance, it is pretty shitty and lazier than they have ever been. As bad as dragon soul was- and it was pretty fucking bad- at least there were a few other things added you could do besides raid.

Another very valid gripe is Ashran and how totally shit it is. Seriously, most of the WPVP zones have been fun, ashran is terrible.

Both PVPers and PVEers should feel a little disenfranchised. I personally hate that more than ever before there is nearly zero reason to go out in the world. MOP pleasantly surprised me in contrast, I found tons of world pvp and shit to do out in the world.

I will stay subbed because I am so far in I don't want to drop out- and it's how I stay in touch with longtime friends- but I really don't have much hope legion will be good.

WoW is as newfriendly as it gets minus the garrison chain everyone has to go through.

If anything it was worse in Vanilla/early TBC with attunement chains and everyone being forced to go through with gearing up tier by tier (unless you were in a server first guild that could run most shit with 30 people no problem).

And dont get me started on resistance gear farming.

All the devs who actually had MMO backgrounds and were hired to make WoW what it is either left the company (Pardo) or got put onto other projects like Overwatch (Tigole) - Kosak is objectively WORSE than Metzen for writing, by the way.

that is exactly what they did and everyone notices

new players buy the game, get an instant 90, level up to 100, do heroics for an hour for the ilvl required for the highest level lfr, they kill the last boss, and they stop playing because they feel like they've beaten the game

thats why its down to like 1 million subs now from 11 million in wrath

>>324403357
No, rotation is something that's completely set in stone. Priority just tells you what is the most important to use and isn't set in stone as "do it in this order exactly".

>>324403454
Don't worry anon, the people giving you shit for liking Vashj'r are literal retards.

>>324403719

>>324403667
When you're dealing with a group of mobs, do you use your single target abilities or your AoE abilities?

There is an optimal single target rotation and there's an optimal AoE rotation, that's a priority system.

>>324403428
Shadowpriests have been getting nerfed into the ground steadily since MoP.

I regret even buying MoP and Draenor just to "check" it. They killed that spec and actually dont want people to play it. They hand out massive nerfs one patch and then give a tiny dps buff the next and call it balanced. Even though the class has no mobility and horrible self healing, they still feel its fair to nerf/remove shadowform because "casters shouldn't be tanky."

Just go to youtube, watch how shit the game is and save yourself the money.

I like FF2.5GCD as much as the next guy, but we're long overdue for a new raid/primal/whatever.

It's been said before, the only way WoW will ever die is when blizz themselves pull the plug.

>>324404879
Last time I played it it was hurrdurr learn the rotations go from A-B pop that cd now then go from C-E and pop the other cooldown so now the next time they go off and you get to pop them at the same time! lmaoooo

>>324382153
The game still looks like garbage fampai. you raid the latest tier, farm the latest currency or reputation, and then AFK until your lockouts reset.

I was just about to preorder Legion. But since Jay Wilson is the lead designer I'm staying the fuck away. Maybe WoW will be good when it's fixed after WIlson fucks it next year.

>>324403454
Vash'jir is one of my favorite zones. Honestly, Cataclysm was the only expansion that I wanted to do every quest in every zone, just because they were all pretty cool.

Sure, it sucked having talent trees get cut down so much, but Cata was pretty fun to level through. I never actually had a chance to raid or do anything beyond early heroics due to all my friends quitting though. I still haven't done a Cata raid, and I haven't looked them up because I haven't wanted to spoil them for when I finally get a chance to do them the first time

>>324405520

Doesn't ffxiv have a significantly longer gcd? In wow, even with the 1.5sec base gcd most specs are still pressing something less than 1 sec intervals.

Is it worth getting back into WoW? I quit playing at the beginning of WoD due to school picking up, but now I have nothing to do. I don't want to pay for it if it's completely shit right now.

I would mainly just PvP if I do get back into it

All I want now is for Blizzard to implement the sub-race idea people have been wanting and they said they were excited to try. At least one or two options for each race would be cool.

Human get Vrykul and "exotic" humans, maybe slimmer and smooth-bodied.
Dwarf get Dark Iron and Wildhammer tattoos.
Night Elf gets High Elf.
Gnome gets Mechagnome.
Draenei get Broken and Sargerei skins.
Worgen get... something.

Orc get brown, red, and gray skins and different faces.
Troll get the beefier bodies.
Forsaken get some other undead things like elves and such.
Tauren get Taunka.
Blood Elf get Wretched.
Goblin get... something.

Pandaren get Yogi Bear, Humphrey the Bear, and Baloo.

ICC may have been more of a raid than the tourney was, but it suffered from the same lazy design. There was nothing special about the dungeon layout itself. The bosses were great, but everything else was uninspired crap.

>>324406325
So the class hubs are basically glorified Garrisons? At this point Blizzard is just trying to kill wow even more to focus on their other (shitty) games. I wonder if they will ever make a good game again... probably not.

Garrisons killed gathering professions, made botting a lot easier and prominent, and contributed in killed the "World" in World of Warcraft.

After I heard they're removing buffs, heals and rez spells from my Ret, I'm thinking about just giving up now. It's been a long time coming, and if Blizz is just going to take away the small joy I get from helping other players, I might as well just fucking leave.

>>324408210
>Everyone said that blizzard said he was but nobody ever backed up that claim
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Grommash_Hellscream_(alternate_universe)

During the planning stages of Warlords of Draenor, Grommash was intended to be the final boss of the expansion.[12] However, as the story progressed, the developers found this to be an unsatisfying direction that was further exacerbated by Blackrock Foundry being Iron Horde-centered; and having two such raids back-to-back would only further a growing weariness of orcs. So they decided to focus on the more evil and dangerous threat of Gul'dan and the Burning Legion.

I've always played an Arms warrior. I quit for a while and came back a couple months ago just to check out the zones because I enjoyed WarCraft 1 & 2 lore. During a dungeon (which are all braindead) the tank pulled half the place and died, so I equipped a sword and shield and prepared to jump into defensive stance to pick things up. To my surprise, all of the abilities that would have allowed me to do so were unavailable and apparently locked behind choosing Protection as your specialization.

While I agree that pruning abilities that do nothing was a good choice, they've really gone too far in that direction. Playing Arms right now boils down to "Colossus Smash, Mortal Strike, spam whirlwhind until the first two are off cooldown."

Shit, it's been 4 months since I quit.. But it's either the main fish from Nagrand or fluctuates to the main fish from SMV.

You'll also average enough Lunkers for 1-2 pets that will sell for around 3k even on the super fucking crazy high pop servers like Stormrage.

You'll find shitloads of buyers on those servers, so you sell stuff cheaper and it all sells, on significantly less popular servers you can charge more but it sells less.

Selling at prime time is key too, log on 1 hour before raid time and undercut everyone.

I fucking made 20k a night for months, fucking months, then people caught on and we started arranging when we would sell fish.

Don't listen to what others say, you will NOT get barely any lunkers in your garrison, you need to fish in the zones, but not from pools. Make sure you have a level 3 fishing shack and Nat unlocked.

Literally everyone who does not play WoW says garrisons were the issue when it had notihng to do with it.

Garrisons didn't make all professions a 1 day cooldown to craft anything, garrisons didn't add the retarded cross server overflow system that made cities barren, garrisons didnt make all the gathering mats in the outside complete dogshit by having them act as 1/5th of a real fucking mat and be surrounded by 8 mobs.

Garrisons didn't make it so ALL professions got destroyed because blizzard said it was unfair for people to be able to have a buff for spending the thousands of gold and hours to max level a profession.

Garrinsons had a massive host of issues in and of their own, but it really shows the kind of heavenshill retards who blame them for all the stupid shit they had nothing to do with.

WOD:

>lvl up character late into the expansion (2 month ago)
>hit 100, there is no need to do heros, just join lfr for all instances and get geared (no one ever speaks in lfr even if there are 40 pple in)
>join raid group, the only one speaking is the "lead" but he only asks about boss tactics (as if there even were any tactics nowadays)
>He doesn't know how to PM, fails to PM after first boss and leaves the raid
>raid falls apart
>never ever play again

I mean I have those romantic memories where I played each monday/wedn with the same 25 people and we did some smacktalk but also concentrated on using proper tactics and finishing the instances. I remember everyone shouting of joy in teamspeak after we beat SCC and BT.
Before and after raids we would try to get some mounts or farm reputation/gold together. I went to fucking Switzerland in my school holidays to game for 3 weeks in my guild officers house. I knew these people better than my family, none of them still play or I've lost their contact infos.
I hope they are allright and that they don't have to witness what happened to the game

There are quite a few abilities off the GCD, some classes (notably Monk) can reduce their GCD to as low as 1 second. Positioning in FFXIV is also more important, since some abilities only work properly when used on an enemy's flank or back, so on top of dodging fire or whatever you're also hopping around bashing different parts of the boss. On paper the GCD sounds long, in execution it gives you just enough time to breathe.

I can't help but wonder why blizz hasn't done player housing yet

Garrisons are basically player housing, only not customizable and utter, utter shit.

>>324409972
why dalaran when they could give the other capitals the spotlight for a while, gnomeregan, silvermoon, darnassus, etc

Is it me or are North American realms in WoW fucking ghost towns these days? It seems like you have to pay to transfer to a full/locked realm or go onto EU realms to get anything done.

>>324410530
>not customizable

Then it's not player housing

>>324409815
Hello I am playing the game right now

Garrisons are one of the biggest, if not the biggest issues with WoD.

>>324410574

You have to play on servers that aren't dead, everyone's flocking to one of 20 servers.

>>324410456
The large majority of people playing are Chinese or Koreans.

>>324410567
Because they can't move any of those to the broken shore I guess. Not to mention that gnomershit is not a capital.

>>324410583
It's player housing in the sense that it's your lone sanctuary from the world. You can even sort of customize it by changing what buildings you want, and even add up statues depending on achievements.

>>324410695
It's still not player housing

Not in any real sense of the term

>>324410802
>its a home for your player owned by the player
>not player housing

??????

>>324410652
I'm on a "medium" population server called Khadgar yet it feels like there's nobody on here. I see people from other realms than on my realm on here, that's how dead it is.

>>324402946
I'm a bit of an noob about this. What do you mean with priority exactly? And could you name any game as example?

>>324410947
Medium is code word for "sometimes you see another soul in a high traffic hub"

if its not high is dead

>>324386427
So I'll play it for two months like I played WoD.

>>324411071
Keeping your dots on the target is more important that casting other spells, so if your dot is about to fall off you refresh that first before doing other actions.

>>324410947
I play on Kilrogg and it's pretty alive despite the medium pop label on it. I'm assuming it's really close to their "high" number without actually hitting it, though.

Now Winterhoof, the server we're merged with? lolno, their sever's fucking dead.

>>324388459

>>324411325
>going from N64 to PS1 makes up for the lack of everything else

>>324410947

You're on Bloodhoof/Khadgar.

http://www.wowprogress.com/realms/rank/us

2k active players of each faction is really fucking low, that's why.

(Your server appears as "Connected Bloodhoof")

Get on a real server and the experience is like a different game.

>>324410421
they were philosophically opposed to player housing for a long time, then wildstar came out with great housing, but instead of making it they just lied about a bunch of shit at blizzcon

then why does Blizzard have a shit ton of dead realms still online? Why not just merge them all?

>>324395318
It made me so sad when I found out he was the lead designer

With the way he handled D3, I'm surprised he still has a job at Blizzard.
The fact that they threw him over to the WoW just means that WoW is low priority now

How do the heirlooms work nowadays though? I heard you can just buy them all pretty easy nowadays.

>WoD is an awful expansion
>I'm still having fun and trying to finish things because it takes me about a year to finish anything in WoW

>>324411634
They did that with MoP and the servers were so packed and queues were so retardedly long when WoD came out they had to make new servers.

>>324411668

You literally buy them with gold, they then are permanently attached to an Heirloom tab and you can generate as many as you want on any toon.

You buy like 35k gold worth of heirlooms and you get a mount you can use at level 1.

You can also enchant heirlooms with any enchant, all enchants scale, you'll want to see a spreadsheet for how they change and offer in each level bracket.

>Why not just merge them all?

This guy believes Blizz merges severs still!

Don't you know that PHASING and CROSSREALM are the superior systems to "fix" low server populations according to our Blizzard Overlords?

15 months of HFC

>>324382153
wew, doesn't sound like a marketer at all.

>>324411654
It's old, why wouldn't it be low priority? WoW isn't even their big money maker anymore, it's just something they keep making content for because people still play it.

That's Blizzards big thing is they keep supporting games regardless if they are alive or dead.

>>324409815

Professions being shit wouldn't ruin an entire expansion.

>>324411932
WoWfags will literally defend this too.
6.1 brought literally nothing but selfies and twitter and Blizzard expects players to be satisfied with doing the same 6.2 content for 15 months.

How does this game still have fucking millions of people paying for it?

>server was full when WoD launched
>now its low

Thanks for the shit expansion, Blizzard. I've never seen a game die so fast before. They lost 4 million subs in under a year.

Unreal.

>>324412656
>How does this game still have fucking millions of people paying for it
Its trivial to pay for your monthly fee via gold.

I make 60k a month by barely playing the game and could easily triple that if I cared enough to go back to playing the AH

>>324412852
It oddly is, and I was never really good at making gold but wasting a week I made the 40k I needed for my overpriced EU token, and now I have 6 weeks to bother getting enough for the next one.

>>324408938
So you've never been in a run where you're forced to off-heal people while trying to dps? Or do you even play Ret?

>>324408740
Yay! A teleport with a 30sec cooldown and a combat mount. Those are great replacements for having actual utility. I'm sure I won't miss being helpful to my friends when I can fucking teleport to what's killing them.

>>324412852
someone still had to pay money for those gold tokens and those cost more than the actual sub fee.

who are the millions of people still supporting this decade old trash?

>>324413065
No because ret healing is shit and I dont run with scrubs

>>324413146
Retards, the same idiots who buy things off the cash shop.

You might as well ask why retards by shit in LoL or who all the dumb faggots buying skins for CSGO at $100 a pop.

>>324413065

lmao ret heals, if you're doing anything important enough that would require a ret to heal, then the dps is more important.

>>324413065
If you're in a situation where you NEED a Ret Pally to offheal then either your healers are shit or your DPS need to get out of the fucking fire.

>>324404151
Alleria already has been Coruptioned tho

>>324406063
No

>>324406063

lol, playing now is literally the worst time, especially with your criteria.

>>324413698

eeeexactly

>>324411216
Aren't there certain classes in WoW that do that? Like the DPS Death Knight. I stopped after Cataclysm (mainly because of my busy life at that moment), but I remember being Frost DK. With my Frost DK, part of my rotation was to put up dots and keep them up.

>>324415147
Feral Druids do that now among a few others. Warlock's entire shtick is keeping up dots for example. Enhancement Shamans keep up and spread Fire Shock dots on everything for massive AOE damage.

>>324415147
Frost DK is a lot less dependant on DoTs than Unholy DK.
Survival Hunter, Affliction Warlock and Shadow Priest (unless you take certain level 100 talent) also rely heavily on DoTs. There are others that use them too (Balance Druid, Enhancement and Elemental Shaman, etc.) but they aren't as dependant on them.

>>324382153
Can someone tldr what's new in legion? Haven't played in a while.

>>324415503
Enhancement's AoE damage is fucking insane.
What are the specs with the heaviest AoE damage? Destruction Warlock, Beast Mastery Hunter, Enhancement Shaman...?

It's a shame we don't get to forge the legend of a brand new weapon and then after we shove it up some demon's butt we hand it off to some guy from our class hall who gets to be Mr. Important in the next expansion where we have to poke more demons.

>>324382153
HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING BLIZZARD MARKETING

GO THE FUCK AWAY AND FUCK OFF WITH YOUR RUINED FACEBOOK GAME

FUCK YOU GUYS FOR RUINING A ONCE GREAT GAME

FUCK
YOU

>>324415863
Fury Warrior can pump some absolutely retarded AOE damage in short bursts if they blow all their shit and talent for it. Throw Ravager down, pop Dragon Roar, use a macro'd Berserker Rage + Bladestorm and you'll easily top the meters.

>>324416607
Could have been cool, but Blizzard would have found a way to fuck it up

>>324415832
Here's the current known lore for Legion:
>Illidan will be back. He was actually a hero all along. Your actions in the Black Temple actually aided the Burning Legion.
>Alternate Universe Gul'dan is fucking up everything.
>Your character becomes the greatest leader ever for your class.
>Tirion dies.
>Thrall loses Doomhammer. YOU were actually what Doomhammer's prophecy was all about. Thrall's use of it during his revenge against Garrosh was not approved by the elements, they have forsaken him completely and now the hammer is dead weight, so he gives it to you if you're an enhancement shaman.
>Ysera gets corrupted by Xavius, who is somehow alive again, and the Nightmare. She is killed.
>Vol'jin and Varian both die. Sylvanas is now Warchief.
>The blue dragonflight is disbanded. They all abandoned the Nexus in Borean Tundra -but left all their artifacts in there unguarded because they're stupid. Disc priests go there to get their weapon.
>The great Archbiship Alonsus Faol is back - as an undead.
>Calia Menethil, Arthas's sister, is back - but she has no interest in retaking Lordaeron from the insane Sylvanas.

And that's the state of the lore going into Legion so far as I can remember it.

>>324416476
Some of what you said is correct, but hold the phone;

>WoD talents getting fixed to not be dogshit
There's still a lot of "You're fucking stupid for choosing this" talents.
>Classes getting overhauled
Only a few for the better, such as Survival, Fury, and Outlaw. Most look like extreme pruning instead of good overhauls.
>Legendaries with cool effects everywhere
These most likely won't be as good as we expect.

I agree with the PvP talents and Demon Hunters looking fun, and I'm glad Illidan isn't just a recurring villain like we all thought he'd be. I'm also glad that the Artifact weapons' talents are actually good things to aim for. I just hope they don't fuck those up.

>>324417020
>Only a few for the better
>Ignoring the new best class in the game Death Knights

>>324417015
Oh I forgot to mention
>A lot of the "epic artifact questlines" are actually repeated across several classes. The only different is a few changed out NPCs, but the quests themselves are largely the same. So not even the artifact quest chains are completely unique save for a few classes.

>>324417193
>>324417015
Don't forget "Thrall will have more development in Legion."

>>324417020
>WoD talents getting fixed to not be dogshit
I didn't mean balance, I meant in the fact that certain classes talents were boring as shit and were nearly the same for all 3 specs.

Also Locks, DK's, Priests, and Huntards although still 50/50 on their changes are getting completely revamped.

>>324416476
Thanks anon

>>324417015
>Vol'jin and Varian both die. Sylvanas is now Warchief.
Vol'jin is alive, he's gone to negotiate with the zanadalari
And Varian probably isn't dead either

>>324417484
Varian is "dead" Lo'gosh is around kicking ass

>>324417174
What's happening to Death Knights? They've been gutted to hell and back since Wrath, how could they possibly have gotten better?

>>324408556
>DKs cant switch presences any longer in legion

fuck it, you are not allowed to react to critical situations any longer?

remember when shamans had an aggro enchant for their weapon in vanilla?
Fine, if everything is supposed to have just one role, then explain to me, why does the upgraded earth elemental, right now in WoD, constantly lose aggro while you're just spamming regular attacks? wasn't that thing supposed to be your tank?

If they assign roles to everything, they should also make it fucking work

>>324417484
Look man just because Vol'Jin faked his death like 3 times now does not mean hes going to do it yet again.

Like only a 50% chance this time.

>>324408556
You won't be able to switch stances at all in Legion - they're completely removing stances for Warriors.

Yes, they're removing THE CORE IDEA OF WARRIORS, to fit their "class fantasy" bullshit.

>>324417917
>fuck it, you are not allowed to react to critical situations any longer?

hell no, because the people who are bad at it might cry and feel bad

>>324417917
>fuck it, you are not allowed to react to critical situations any longer?

It hasn't been this way ever since blood got revamped in cata.

Changing to blood so you can take a few seconds of damage while the healer is battle-rezing your idiot tank was the raddest shit.

I miss blood DPS.

>>324418086
Don't forget vrykul and knock-off and shitty Valhalla are not the warrior class fantasy because fuck you

I was hoping for a gladiator pit. Instead I get a place that looks better suited to priests and paladins.

>>324408556
>While I agree that pruning abilities that do nothing was a good choice

fuck you, every ability was there to suit a specific purpose.

thank god you got a taste of your own medicine you fuckhead.
