The way Blizzard is handling Chromie Time is killing my pre-patch hype.

Image
There is a MAJOR issue with how Blizzard is implementing Chromie Time in the pre-patch. This thread on the forums provides a perfect analysis of it. But the basic gist of it is that once you hit level 50 in Chromie Time, no matter what you're doing, you'll be teleported to your factions capital and level scaling will go back to normal. Were you in the middle of the zone's climax? Too bad, back to Orgrimmar with you.It's obvious the idea behind this is that they don't want people leveling past 50 anywhere but the Shadowlands and no one in the thread disagrees with that but people also want to at least finish the questline without just dunking on all the mobs that are suddenly 20 levels lower than you. The common suggestion is just to automatically turn off XP gain in Chromie Time after hitting level 50 so people can still finish up whatever questlines they want to until they're ready to move onto Shadowlands.The thread was made in August and it is the most viewe

One thing Blizz has done perfect is the launcher, there's not many out there that utilize your entire internet speed. All my other launchers use under 20 mb/s

Spot the difference. Conduits are literally just glyphs, except with a week long cooldown.

A Race Re(night)borne

Image
I know that I am hardly the first to really fall in love with the Nightborne as a race with everything they bring to the world like their lore and aesthetic to the astounding city of Suramar. That said, I know I am also not the first to ask for upgrades and additions to the playable race, since what we have still falls short of the expectations we had as we aided Thalyssra with the Nightfallen rebellion.I've thrown together a visual summary of the changes and additions I would like to see and I'd love some feedback and discussion from the community to see if anyone feels similarly! I mainly cover character customization and the justification for adding druids as a class as well as some ideas for Nightborne druid forms. The justification includes a bit of lore to tie in why I believe Nightborne should be druids, so for that reason I've marked this post as a spoiler, so please be aware of that.Here is the Imgur link.Take a look and let me know what you think!EDIT: I am floor

If SL is delayed, thats ok, just let us know please!

Already scheduled time off work. I still have time to redo it if you let us know soon. Thanks!

Its becoming increasingly clear that developing entirely new "game systems" each expansion, only to scrap them at the end, has become an enormous sink of hours and effort

Image
With rumors now swirling that pre-patch and the expansion may be delayed due to continuing issues with bugs and the fundamental game, the question has to be asked: how much of this is because of the enormous required effort focused on covenants, soulbinds, conduits, and legendaries?It's pretty self-evident from the systems that keep being introduced each expansion (artifacts+legendaries+class halls into azerite gear into covenants), there's a substantial amount of time required from developers, quality testers, bug fixers, etc, to get these systems off the ground.That's all well and good if these systems add to the game (there's plenty of existing debate about whether or not these systems are good or bad, that's not my point with this post). The problem is that Blizzard likes to spend the entirety of the development cycle shipping these systems for launch, then iterating on these systems through the expansion itself, and finally reaching a state of fulfillment towa

I'm sure we're all feeling about the same right now.

Horde since 2004, but today I gave the Alliance a shot for the first time. Can't believe faction loyalties held me back from all the great questlines, characters, and transmogs.

Didn't think I'd make it before pre-patch. Little over 30 characters in under 3 months. A 120 for each spec

Heads up in regards to Overwolf/Curseforge app in Oct!

Image
Currently, Overwolf plans to launch the new Curseforge client that requires the use of their app to use on Oct 26th, which is SL release date depending on what timezone they're based out of. Day of, or day after and the early weeks of an expansion release will be some of the biggest uses from the app. The fact that they're deliberately doing this on that specific date at least to me feels sketchy.​I don't know about anyone else but I wasn't really aware when it was being launched though I heard 'Q4' I never heard anything else after but now it seems like it has a 'release date' they want to try to keep to and wanted to get the date out there for those like me that were not aware.​As their newsletter I linked mentions, they plan to do closed-alpha starting Oct 7th to open beta on Oct 20th. I feel like 6 days of 'open beta' for something like this to be very short especially of the community wants, or needs quite a few changes in order to use it..

After 4 years I'm pretty sure this elevator has killed more people than Arthas ever did.

Anyone else refreshing reddit and other social media for the pre-patch date?

Blizzard is removing a ton of WoD crafting transmog that is heavily daily locked with the prepatch

Image
On the PTR the WoD craft item upgrade tokens like for example https://ift.tt/2EFmvZs are turned into trash items. The rank 2 and 3 WoD craft items have unique appearances. This is the case for all WoD professions. WoD recipes are heavily daily locked. Basically, if you found out now that they are gone and if nothing changes, you can't get them anymore unless you spend thousands of gold on the ah. And even then the supply is probably not high enough.Please give this thread some traction so Blizzard fixes this. If the upgrade tokens have to be removed for whatever reason, at least make it so equipping the rank 1 item also unlocks rank 2 and 3.
