    Mike


    Rep grinding is making me bored.

    Even if I did this when it was new, I find it dull because it’s too repetitive.

    50% boost in rep from Sign of the Emissary, so go do it!

    I also haven’t upgraded yet. When I get to exalted in all 4, then I’ll do it. No rush now.

    Farming for the Love Rocket. No drops.

    Achievement runs

    Cara


    Heroic Antorus 2/11, first bosses aren’t too different

    Haven’t upgraded to BfA yet because I still feel like I have plenty to do without it right now, curious to see how long that will last

    But also I don’t really care about things as much as I used to? Like it’s still super fun! But I don’t feel like I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED it. I.e. Love Rocket runs, I do them when I can but I don’t frustrate myself trying to fit them into my day

    I did claim my character names I want for my BfA allied race alts though. Seems they freed up a lot of names recently so if you have a name you couldn’t get before, give it a shot now!

    Me too! -MG (kek)

    This week in WoW


    Darkmoon Faire until the 11th

    Lunar Festival starts a week from today

    Ulduar

    News:


    BfA alpha is going out to some people. Not me :(

    Watched a few streams. Some people need to learn how to stream (don’t be rude!)

    I found the starting areas to be ok. Didn’t watch long. Wasn’t anything really impressive yet.

    Hotfixes:

    Nightborne faces should match what was selected

    Fire mage damage increased by a whopping 3%

    Hunter BM damage increased by 2.5%

    From Discord:


    BfA comes with a level 110 boost

    Shout out to PurpleMoose in Discord who was struggling what to do and used it for a Nightborne rogue.

    Utheron - bad experience with a GM. Was trying to make him switch specs.

    This Week in WoW


    Kirin Tor Tavern Crawl yesterday and today

    Arena Bonus Event til Tuesday

    Love Is In the Air Feb 2-16 (see news)

    Darkmoon Faire starts Sunday

    Next Tuesday: World Quest Bonus Event and PvP Brawl: Southshore vs. Tarren Mill

    News


    Hofixes:

    All accounts have 16 character slots per realm

    Preorder for Battle of Azeroth

    No official release date

    Server issues

    Perk: quests to unlock allied races

    Nightborne: Exalted with the The Nightfallen and completion of Insurrection

    Void Elf: Exalted with Argussian Reach and completion of You Are Now Prepared!

    Lightforged Draenei: Exalted with Army of the Light and completion of You Are Now Prepared!

    Highmountain Tauren: Exalted with Highmountain Tribe and completion of Ain't No Mountain High Enough

    Remember: DMF hat/carousel give rep bonuses, and next week is the world quest event which gives rep bonuses as well.

    Walking into Light’s Hope Cathedral with a void elf sparks some interesting conversation.

    http://www.wowhead.com/attunement

    The economic impact of allied races over the next few weeks

    Void Elves Everywhere! “Void elves are alliance only because they were crying and wanted their own blood elves”. - from Joe on the forums via a YouTuber he was watching

    Unlocking races on factions: you can do the requirements on either side but you need someone on that faction to do the unlock quests. (An Alliance member can have the achievements for Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren, but a 110 Horde must do the quests)

    Collector’s Edition perks

    Gilded Ravasaur (Horde) and Seabraid Stallion (Alliance) mounts

    Tottle turtle (aquatic) pet

    Overwatch voice lines, emotes, sprays and icons

    Heroes of the Storm Primal Flamesaber mount

    Starcraft II sprays

    Hearthstone card pack, Azeroth is Burning

    No Diablo perk

    110 Boost details

    Boosts any toon to 110

    Hearthstone and Dalaran hearthstone; hearthstone reset to Dalaram inn

    3 level 870 artifact relics

    Level 35 artifact power and first artifact weapon (make sure you’re in the right spec!)

    Flight Master’s Whistle

    Kirin Tor supply bag, which contains basic food, water, starter ancient mana, ancient potions, mana diving stone, a tome of the tranquil mind

    If you are 60 or over, boosts primary professions to 700 and first aid to 700

    Suramar is open to the extent that Thalyrissa is there and will give you the first few quests -- no longer have to do the opening scenario of finding her and escorting her in

    Does NOT come with a level 3 WOD garrison - reports if you boost a “Character Trial to 100” toon to permanent 110 that you will get the garrison

    Battle for Azeroth System Requirements

    Windows machines will need 64-bit systems

    Minimum processor: Intel Core i5-760 or AMD FX 8100 or higher, recommended i7 4770 or AMD FX 8310 - basically need at least a quad core machine now

    Video cards: 2GB minimum on video board, GeForce GT 560, AMD Radeon 7850 or Intel 530 - recommended GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 280 (up from 1GB cards)

    Memory: Minimum 4GB, recommends 8 GB (up from 2)

    Storage: 70 GB, recommends SSD, up from 45

    No changes to minimum resolution/display

    Love Is In The Air - Feb 2-16


    Speculation that the new flower crowns datamined earlier will be perks for this year’s Love Is In the Air

    Classic interview


    Old code no longer compiles

    Old database no longer works

    New graphics are on the table, wants to hear from the community

    My guess - not until 2019

    Forum people are SO IMPATIENT.

    Mod of the Cast: Memoria (Tororosso) - https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/memoria


    Joe posted a screenshot macro on the Naked and Afraid discussion board that displays played time and takes a screenshot 0.2 seconds after

    Tororosso posted about Memoria, an addon that takes a screenshot automatically for different milestones, such as leveling, achievements, reputation levels, or when a battleground or arena ends.

    Only issue with Memoria is that it doesn’t put in the /played time, unless you’ve put it in right before you ding

    Utilized the one-switch rule to respec from brewmaster to windwalker around level 45

    Went “in order” until about level 40, and then went out of order doing zones where I had no transmogs (Burning Steppes, Stonetalon, and Southern Barrens) - thank you All The Things.

    Finished to 60 in Winterspring to level up mining

    Went straight to Northrend (Howling Fjord), skipped Outland entirely

    Mike:


    Working on rep and mounts.

    Still working on that Nerf Scrapbots achievement. Is it bugged?

    This Week in WoW


    Burning Crusade Timewalking

    Kirin Tor Tavern Crawl mini event Wednesday

    News


    Battle of Azeroth Collectors’ Edition perks datamined - https://www.wowhead.com/news=281070/battle-for-azeroth-collectors-edition-rewards-seabraid-stallion-gilded-ravasaur-?webhook/battle-for-azeroth-collectors-edition-rewards-seabraid-stallion-gilded-raptor-to - Seabraid Stallion (Alliance), Gilded Ravasaur (Horde) and Tottle (turtle pet)

    Shu-zen, the Divine Sentinel flying dog mount datamined - probably part of Lunar Festival (Year of the Dog) starting Feb 16

    Transmog bug - people reporting not being able to transmog while wearing some items from [Satchel of Helpful Goods]

    Changes to Recruit a Friend:

    Experience gains reduced from 200 to 50%.

    Heirloom XP bonus no longer stacks with RAF XP bonuses

    Patch 7.3.5 hotfixes this week

    Lost Mail - now properly spawns at random Dalaran locations and Postmaster title is now account-wide.


    Fixed the Normal/Heroic HP pool boss switch

    Raiding fixes take boss HP levels BELOW previous levels

    Fixed the bug that made pet names disappear

    Boulder quest in Redridge has been fixed

    Patch 7.3.5 - Leveling

    Transitions between expansions


    No big gear reset until level 61, when item levels jumped from 60 to 80

    Professions do transfer but not smoothly

    When you buy your skill for mining/herbs from 300, it now goes to 450 instead of 375 (both expansions)

    Experience with mining: could gather and learn to smelt both Fel Iron (Outland) and Cobalt Ore (Northrend). Started with 252 mining; could only gather Cobalt Ore Nuggets

    By level 325, still only collecting nuggets. Went to Outland and confirmed I could collect whole Fel Iron Ore. However, Fel Iron was gray (getting no skill). Cobalt Ore still orange (getting skill)

    Last level to get Cobalt Nuggets: 340. Started getting whole cobalt at 341. Cobalt Ore gathers still orange and still getting orange skill from smelting. Turned Yellow at 350. Turned Green at 362.

    Can get 80+ mining skill points off smelting alone (started slowing down at 355) - market has not caught up on all servers, but on Silvermoon ore is selling for 5x more than bars.

    Filius reported re: manufacturing professions, also skipping to Northrend: There are recipes to make things at your level, but the results may not be usable. Was making potions that he could create in low 60s that were only usable by mid-70s.

    Idea: how to find what’s good to sell?

    Cattarina is new winner of the Shaman Challenge with 2 days 1 hour

    Up to 41 participants, 28 of whom are now 20 or over

    All classes represented, with most popular being druids (9) and monks (7); least represented, shaman (1) and priest (2)

    8 participants currently have more than 1000 gold. Two have 3000 or more, and one has nearly 15,000

    Minor rule clarifications:

    Auction mules may not do anything but buy and sell -- no primary or secondary skill use (cooking, disenchanting, smelting).

    Some confusion over mounts and which you can use

    Some confusion over use of inherent class abilities such as hunter pet respeccing and use of monk daily

    Filius is also live streaming

    Ren -


    Did transmog count, found out only had 17% of mail transmogs

    Kind of Argussed out

    Running WoW off new SSD .. makes an enormous difference

    Mike -


    Still having problems with XT achievement. One day we get to 18, the next, 0

    I got a pony!

    I lost 700 achievement points, probably due to rearranging the achivements.

    Mournful Moan of Murmur is now up and running after TWO YEARS of being broken.

    I have not yet tried to level a toon yet.

    The price of Celendras dropped like a rock. From 750k to 50k.

    When you go into Ulduar, it’s now 10-man no matter what you set raid to.

    It took forever to kill Galleon and Sha of Anger.

    Zone quests are now gauged by chapters, not numbers of quests completed.

    I was mailed all the new mats.

    This Week in WoW


    Pet Battle Event

    Call of the Scarab - Jan 21-23

    Patch 7.3.5


    Patch notes: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21365423

    Undocumented patch notes

    Known issues:


    Mobile/web AH disabled

    Dungeon boss HP levels reversed Normal vs. Heroic

    Raid boss difficulty - difficulty turned up for Warlords/Pandaria raids to put in line with leveling characters but overtuned them

    Pet names disappearing

    New backpack slots not showing up right away for new authenticators

    Last wing of Argus LFR was bugged - if you wipe you can’t get back in

    Redridge quest Saving Foreman Oslow not working

    Patch 7.3.5: Leveling


    The leveling experience: uneven reviews

    Journey vs destination

    Ren’s personal experiences doing N&A and feedback from the N&A participants

    Professions: 1-60 profession progression still klunky

    Still have old gathers (copper ore, thorium ore, peacebloom, goldthorn) tied to former zones

    Level gains from herb/ore gathers still about the same as it was - about 1.7% of total level XP per gather for lower level gathers (reduces over time - was down slightly below 1% at level 63)

    Leather/cloth gathers still tied to former zones (eg. leather experiment in Azeroth, cloth in BC/WOTLK)

    Mobs and equipment scale to the toon, but profession drops still scale to the zone

    Pro: You can still do predictable lower level farming

    Con: Leveling might be a freedom of choice experience, but leveling professions is not -- still tied to old zone definitions

    Solution: Flatten mats to three tiers -- levels 1-20, 20-40 and 40-60.

    Enchanting squish did not go far enough, may have skipped guild banks entirely

    Naked & Afraid 2018


    Ren is level 19 in N&A - not highest toon but has the most gold (Maxx, gnome outlaw rogue, is level 30 with 9 hours /played)

    Started Wednesday, 1/17 - join in anytime

    3 official servers but you don’t have to join

    Lots of minor rule clarifications, one major change

    Almost 30 official participants so far

    Legion Attunement Tracker on Wowhead now tracks Allied race unlock requirements

    Nightborne unlocks with completing Suramar (Good Suramaritan)

    Highmountain unlocks with completing High mountain (Aint No Mountain High Enough)

    Void Elf and Lightforged Draenei open with completing the Argus campaign (You Are Now Prepared!)

    Attunement tool at http://www.wowhead.com/attunement

    New hunter pets on PTR for 7.3.5 - including ones obviously meant to be starter pets for new allied races

    Nightborne: Manasaber

    Highmountain Tauren: Great Eagle

    Void Elf: Voidstalker

    Lightforged Draenei: Lightforged Talbuk

    Other hunter pets include beasts clearly from Argus, such as umbralfins, dustcloaks, and chitinbuks, and ones clearly associated with Silithus like silithids, flying hornets, scorpids, and spiders

    Allied race racials: more complete data. (Speculate on best classes?)

    Nightborne: Hunter, Mage, Monk, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior

    +15 to inscription=, increased magical damage by 1, access maili for 1.5 minutes (cooldown 10 minutes), A Force Shield that deals arcane damage and snares them by 50%, lasts 20 seconds (no info on cooldown), 1% magic resistance

    Highmountain Tauren: Druid, Hunter, Monk, Shaman, Warrior

    charge that knocks down enemies for 1.5 seconds (2 minute cooldown), +15 to mining and faster mining, +1% to versatility, overall damage reduction by 330 (scale?) and increased chance to loot additional meat and fish.

    Void Elf: Hunter, Mage, Monk, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior

    1% reduction of shadow and arcane damage, “your abilities have a chance to empower you with the essence of the void” (?), reduces void storage and transmog costs by 50%, spell casts not delayed by taking damage, and a built-in rift teleportation similar to warlock gating (2 minute cooldown).

    Lightforged Draenei: Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Warrior

    20% extra xp for killing demons, +10 to blacksmithing plus summoning a Forge of Light on demand, reduce holy damage by 1%, call down a strike of holy energy damaging enemies within 5 yards after 3 sec, and “erupt with light upon death, dealing holy damage to enemies and healing allies).

    Speculation: Allied races are not going to be introduced in 7.3.5, but there are plenty of files being pushed to the servers about four of the six races, which gives Bliz the option of releasing them before the expansion. Thoughts?

    Original dry run of Leeeeroy Jenkins video


    https://youtu.be/8hmgrHohDGM

    From the Discord:


    How to do less damage for raid achievements, without having to de-equip items or gear:

    From @OPH on Discord: brought up there was a toy or shirt that used to exist that would reduce damage output by 90%. This is true. Whole Body Shrinka toy, which shrinks you down to a tiny size and does reduce your damage output to about 10% -- lasts for 3 minutes but has a 30 minute cooldown.

    Soft Foam Sword also allows you to "mortally wound" a trivial enemy, but it isn't usable in dungeons or raids.

    What else could be done? Came up with a cheap engineering solution even non-engineers can use.

    Further discussion on queuing a Broken Shore class hall mission for Broken Shore Campaign -

    @settlersrule said he was forced to take a 3 day elite mission because that was all that was available. Tips on how to manage this situation.

    From Twitter: Going back to my report that the Murky world quest dismounts you when you fly over it, apparently it’s not just Murky, but any quest where you morph. @Frenzol informed me the wisp quest in Val’sharah does the same thing.

    Trial of Style Season 2 is up.

    If you buy the trial, the game banks up your XP post-cap and then gives it to you when you buy it.

    NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS. What about all the stuff I have in my bank?

    Several reagents no longer exist: Greater Astral Essence, Lesser Astral Essence, Greater Mystic Essence, Lesser Mystic Essence, Greater Nether Essence, Lesser Nether Essence, Nexus Crystal, Large Glimmering Shard, Small Glimmering Shard, Soul Dust, Vision Dust, Small Glowing Shard, Large Glowing Shard, Dream Dust, Small Radiant Shard, Large Radiant Shard

    Shaman Challenge: No new finishers, but Rokica and Settlersrule both reached 100

    From last week: Artifact Knowledge 55 cap reached

    7.3.5 hit the PTR
