The arcwine winery really has its own whole emotional arc.

Later on you kill a bunch of guards to steal aged arcwine, and the distillers who are with them all run away in fear. Except one who just says "thank you" and walks away. I like tot think he's the same one she saved.

All the little housing plots that are isolated and have a little bridge are so peak. Blizz really seems to have knocked it out of the park with this feature.

Its one of those days where getting 7 hours of sleep didn't matter and my body is trying its damndest to give out on me.

Its going to be a struggle tonight.

I did not know this was a flying mount, so taking off from the Dalaran flight path really threw me off.

Somehow I missed the part about them being older than trolls, but that's real bad. You don't need to diminish trolls to make them something unique.

I bet they are doing this so they can make Azeroth's titan avatar a Haranir, and thus pretty.

I don't think I've seen anything Jani specific but there are some other loa idols and non-specific shrine stuff.

So hopefully either more stuff will be added or they at least add the Jani plush they use to worship at the end of the Darkspear heritage quest and we can just make one ourselves.

I will accept this on two conditions.

1. They are equally as awful to the elves and view them as mutant freaks.

2. Talanji, Rokhan, and/or Zul'jarra get to throw hands with them and prove them wrong.

Kinda funny they didnt use the moon shoulders from that set.

Also just because of the colors it looks like she stole it off some poor random Silver Covenant person. Still a huge improvement though.

Hearthstone is way ahead of you.

Yeah I'd reccomend just spamming dungeons at that point. The scaling goes completely whack and its better to just get carried by people doing their daily random dungeon runs.

Yes you have to be max level, and I'd say 610-615 to start mythic raids but the higher you get the easier it will be to get into raids. A lot of groups seem to want pretty high ilvls that aren't really nessisary

If you're looking to get Deathless from MToV, I'd be like 640 at least. Helya hits hard

Yeah its just one of those WoW spaghetti code moments. I've grinded out enough artifact appearances and its always super annoying.

They should be in your transmog cabinet tomorrow.

1

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

This is true in retail too. You can unlock an appearance on your main but it won't appear on a usable alt until the next day.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

They do.

If you're asking specifically about artifact appearances, that system has always been super wonky and it takes until the daily reset to appear in your transmog list.

Kind of off topic, but in some native american traditions, crows were originally rainbow colored. They gave it up bringing fire to the world during winter to save the lives of all other animals.

So I love the idea of a crow being born with the rainbow again and crows naturally cherishing them.

Elune?

I think you mean Mu'sha.

Yeah, some people got absurdly powerful. I joined a carry group yesterday and the tank had 88M hp and was doing around 14M dps.

Its a shame because those overpowered characters made it a lot more chill to find mythic groups.

1 1

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah the only thing you can really do is hope for a casual/chill group or a carry group to pop up.

And since Blizz reset a bunch of people, the latter isn't going to be an option for a bit

You should be fine after about 610, but a lot of groups inflate the number because they want it to go even faster.

M nightmare is a cakewalk. The hardest mobs are the slimes at the start. Valor is a bit harder only because Helya requires people to at least try to do the mechanics at lower ilvls.

Which is what makes them a threat.

They rebuilt and fortify their homes after each time. Their armies get replenished. Meanwhile we're still struggling after stuff like BfA, so they are a threat because they had the breathing room we didnt get.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

Just to clarify my main intent, they would have their own rich history and everything, but the difference is they didnt have to fight an apocolypse every year for the past 2 decades.

Like their Arthas would be 100s of years ago and they got to rebuild. They are us but on a less chaotic timescale.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

That gives us a reason to both fight them as enemies in the first xpac, and become allies/liberators to them in the second.

We destroy the grip the Arathi have on their vassals and give them independence. They give us a staging ground for our war against the heart of the Empire.

2

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

What I want to see is there actually being diverse life over there, but they've been completely turned into vassals of the Arathi Empire. They are forced to fight us because of their proximity to the Empire.

So if there are trolls, they unwillingly work for the Arathi.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

I believe they left after the troll war so they already knew what trolls were, but also trolls being over there would make plenty of sense.

What I more mean by them being "alone" is they didnt deal with constant world ending threats every year like we did. No N'zoth, Deathwing, Arthas or Kiljaeden.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 2d

The Arathi have been left alone on their side of the world. They could control their entire continent through dominance and have armies worth of soldiers to throw at us. Not to mention backing of at least some aspect of the Light.

It would be really cool to fight a war xpac where we don't hold back
