And yes, I could have hearthed back to Dalaran, but with all my traveling all four of my Remix hearths were on cooldown. :/

Also, paladins should have let you use their portal back to Dalaran, but no, paladins are a bit jerkish that way. ^_^

The priest order hall campaign was terrible in Legion, but Legion Remix managed to make it even worse...
There's a point where you need to fly to Light's Hope Chapel. Normally you would take a taxi, but no, there's not one from Stormwind (or Undercity I assume). (1/x)

Printer sharing is still a *#&@#@#@ pain on Windows 11. It should not be this hard to do.

In #Wow, since cross-faction groups are a thing, I wish Blizzard would make it easy to invite cross-faction members to your group if you are camping a rare. No, I don't want to list the group in Group Finder as folks tend not to check that. I just want to right-click on their portrait and invite.

Here's a video of all of the Apple ][ intro screens of the early Ultimas 1 through 5 (including Akalabeth, aka 'Ultima 0').
Two things to note. One, music wasn't available until Ultima 3. Two, some of the intros are slow because they needed a floppy drive to read a disk.

When someone says developers should be able to fix bugs faster, just point them to this article: www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/a-...
A former Valve dev revealed how, while a VR version of Half-Life 2 was being made, a single metro cop's toe created a 'time-travelling' bug that softlocked all versions of the game
The story of a toe, a door, and a very elusive bug.

I'm done with the Argus achievements with Legion Remix. All I need are the remaining leveling / class hall ones (plus the one for logging in at the end of the event). That'll be a relaxing time as I have two months to do all of those. Easy with the end-of-year holidays coming up.

One interesting thing I found is after clearing out some mementos and scrapping unwanted gear, the tooltips for my Versatility on my character sheet still keeps going up, even though I can't assign more ranks to my weapon. I wonder if this is a bug or if you can really push your Versatility higher.

I hit rank 999 on my primary Legion Remix character. Now I can take it easy with Mythics and just focus on finishing out the achievements I have left. It has been fun doing this once, but I suspect future Remixes I won't try do to 'all the things' again.

I like you Khadgar, but I really, truly, don't need to hear about the teleportation of Dalaran to the Broken Shore every time I try to visit Stormwind/Orgrimmar... I just want to do a quest chain.

Hoo. Even with 401 points of versatility (max is 999) on my weapon, a rank 50 Mythic+ is rough. We beat it with four seconds left on the timer. At least that achievement is done. :)

One thing I really like about Mythic+ in Legion Remix is that it is much more 'fast and loose' up through difficulty 40 or so. There's none of the rigidness of Retail's Mythic+ where pulling one 'wrong' mob will set off the blowhards. There's a sense of fun that has been long missing in Retail

Running any instance (raid or dungeon) in Legion Remix is like watching some movie version of a plague of locusts or swarm of pirahnas devouring trash and bosses alike. There is no pause, only go go go. #wow

#Wow 's remixes are really starting to make me wish I could move existing sub-max level characters over to level them. The leveling process is so much more fun than running alts through the same stuff you just ran your main through.
TL;DR Let Remix be the way you level alts. Fast, fun.
