After the unbelievably good quest writing in Suramar, Broken Shore is a big disappointment

Posted: 23 May 2017 07:58 AM PDT

The questing in Suramar leading up to the opening of Nighthold was some of the best writing I've ever experienced in World of Warcraft. Every week I looked forward to the next part of the story opening up and never once felt like it was a chore. The "Good Suramaritan" meta was fantastic. Blood & Wine was some of the best quest writing I've ever personally experienced in this game.

So it was with excitement that I started the Broken Shore invasion; the intro felt suitably epic and felt like it would be a worthy successor to the opening of Nighthold.

But then Broken Shore came along, and it became a weekly fetch quest with zero story development, zero character development, and no emotional investment. A HUGE letdown after the phenomenal Nighthold saga.

Suramar was in rebellion; we had personalities and character development (cemented by excellent voice acting), tragedy! despair! hope! rebellion! All exciting stuff; it was like a fantasy soap opera. I couldn't WAIT until each Tuesday came along and I got to do the next chapter of the saga.

Broken Shore is just Khadgar and some random, unmemorable NPCs who tell you to fetch things. That's it.

What happened? I only hope that the level of storytelling comes back up to the standard that Suramar set.

Tuesdays are so fun

Posted: 23 May 2017 06:18 AM PDT

Since resubbing a year ago after a 5 year hiatus I have learned to totally love Tuesdays. Every week I get filled with hope.

-Will the Tusks of Mannoroth drop from SoO this week when I run mythic and heroic on my DK and warrior?

-Will the main hand Warglaive of Azzinoth drop for my DH this week?

-Will Nithogg finally be the world boss again this week?

-What will be this week's Legionfall quest?

-What will drop in this weeks Nighthold raid?

I love it. Even if I'm disappointed with all of the above it doesn't matter because next Tuesday will be another shot at it all.

Everyone have a great week and good luck with all the drops you have been hunting for!

Concordance of the Legionfall and AK40 - just how impossible does it get?

Posted: 23 May 2017 02:53 PM PDT

It seems to be pretty widely known that it is mathematically impossible to max out Concordance at 50/50. Out of sheer morbid curiosity, I decided to do the math to determine just how quickly and drastically the numbers get out of hand, especially with the now-reduced AK cap.

Some highlights:

Given no lag or downtime, AK40, and an infinite supply of "Unity of the Orders" (the AP reward for turning in Legionfall War Supplies), you would spend over 41 months just clicking all of the ~12.5 million tokens required to go from 51 traits to 101 traits.

At AK40, farming AP like a madman (Pzgg-Illidan-US, who according to my rough calculation has averaged over 37,000 base, pre-AK AP per day since 7.2 hit) without ever slowing down, it would take:

Over 2 months of farming to reach Concordance Rank 24.

An additional ~4 months to reach Rank 28.

Over a year total to reach Rank 31.

Over 157 years to reach Rank 50.

Note: I did not account for the Legionfall United proc (chance at 2x AP from certain tokens), so the numbers above are slightly too high (probably 10% at most). Not sure how I might factor this in, considering the apparently unknown proc chance and the fact it only affects tokens from WQ/missions.

Edit: improved format.

Just started up again and leveling a new character feels really....disjointed?

Posted: 23 May 2017 10:09 AM PDT

So I'm leveling a mage and I do quests in between queue times for dungeons but by the time I get out of a dungeon or two or three with a group, I've out leveled the current zone I'm questing in and have to go find another zone. Once I get to the new zone, a new queue will have already popped.

Basically I'm only in a zone for 3-4 quests before I need to move onto the next zone because I out level it. Is this the most efficient way to level? If so I feel like it all needs to be re worked, it just feels so weird

Looks like Mythic + Affixes may no longer be on a set rotation

Posted: 23 May 2017 09:16 AM PDT

So this week (May 23rd) NA got Teeming / Necrotic / Tyrannical.

Prior to 7.2, there were only four Level 4 Affixes (Teeming/Sanguine/Bolstering/Raging) and four Level 7 Affixes (Overflowing/Skittish/Necrotic/Volcanic) and each affix was seen twice per 8 week rotation.

After 7.2, now there are five Level 4 Affixes (Teeming/Sanguine/Bolstering/Raging/Bursting) and six Level 6 Affixes (Skittish/Necrotic/Volcanic/Explosive/Quaking/Grievous)

With NA getting Teeming, that would mark the THIRD time that we've seen the Teeming affix while Sanguine and Bursting have still only been seen once.

I think either we're going to have a much longer rotation or possibly a consistently random lineup of affixes every week, with the only guarantee being that Tyrannical / Fortified swap each week.

Any thoughts?

Our raid leader finally took down the prot paladin Mage Tower challenge. He may have gone a little overboard in post.

Artifact Knowledge can now be researched to a maximum level of 40 (was 50). -blizzard

Posted: 22 May 2017 09:30 PM PDT

Artifact Knowledge can now be researched to a maximum level of 40 (was 50). Developers' Notes: We raised the Knowledge cap from 40 to 50 very late in the 7.2 PTR cycle, out of an abundance of caution: We wanted to ensure that players of all playstyles, as well as alt characters, would view the Concordance trait as accessible. However, between the additional Artifact Power gains added in 7.2 and others that were hotfixed in after the patch released, we're now well ahead of that mark. Knowledge 40 now seems more than sufficient for players to reach Concordance, and the prospect of months' worth of additional Knowledge still left to research makes some players feel like their efforts in the interim aren't meaningful. Therefore, we're rolling the cap back to 40.

This means that the cap will be 4,001,000% AP insted of 55,200,100% AP
