    The reality of 8.3

    warrior of the night in real life!

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:30 PM PST

    I think Blizzard is better at building worlds than designing gameplay these days, and that's a strength they should lean into. The immersive ambience of Zandalar with its sunlit beaches and tropical jungles is what I'll remember from Battle for Azeroth, not the activities I took part in.

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:53 PM PST

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're bad designers. For all its flaws, Battle for Azeroth has offered a lot of fun, as did Legion. But what they're really unparalleled with is world building.

    Zandalar, for example, is an absolute marvel. Sure, it's not perfect and I wish they'd fill in the gaps around the coasts a bit more. But in terms of ambience, aesthetics, and overall theme it just blows me away every time. What a wonderful place to hang around.

    For upcoming expansions, I think Blizzard should embrace this ability to construct wonderful experiences. Create even bigger worlds. Give us even more interesting world content to see and discover on our journeys. Publish even more interesting media around these worlds, like books and comics.

    Azeroth is definitely the highlight of Warcraft, use it!

    Blizzard, please bring back proper day and night/weather in shadowlands!

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:07 PM PST

    Something that has been bothering me for years but really just struck me is the day/night cycle in WoW and the weather. For starters, weather is pretty weak and sometimes I barely notice it's raining/snowing. I would like a setting beyond the / command we already have that allows users to really ramp up weather effects, but even if they don't, that's alright, cause it's not as egregious as their day/night cycle.

    When it's day it most zones, I notice, the sun is shining, it's bright... you know what's going on. But night, is rarely more than a slightly dimmer sky with the faintest glow of stars. It is 10 pm server time right now, I'm in Zuldazar, and if someone took a screenshot I'd have no idea what time it was. There are no stars in the sky, and the sky is just as bright as day time.

    I wish blizzard would bring back their old day/night cycles. Go to Northrend, walk around Dragonblight or fly into Dalaran, it feels like night time, granted not as dark as I would like but you can see the stars and Aurora Borealis, and the music is even different to reflect the change in time.

    I know this is a very minor offense but I think little changes like this would do so much for the world. Making it a graphical setting would allow people to change it to their preference, lighter for those who like it, darker for those that like that.

    Would there be any interest for a guide series covering the fundamental Basics of each Mythic+ Dungeon in Detail ?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:00 PM PST

    I'd really like to start a series that goes through the Dungeons and covers Trash Unit for unit, explaining ways to deal with packs, mainly aimed at the casual/new playerbase, but of course potentially useful for others aswell.

    The idea grew from having super many people that are too scared of dungeons by now because in Season4 everyone expects you to have Experience and i'd like to provide some help with that :)

    Thank you Blizzard for finally making another helm that doesn't look like complete trash on a Worgen...

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:39 PM PST

    If you need to sim your gear to know if it is an upgrade, it's a bad gearing system.

    EU reminder/guide : there will be a perfect battle pet powerleveling day in 10 days

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 04:38 AM PST

    See the schedule here.

    For the EU servers, it's in 10 days from now (2020-03-13), but the next one will be in 160 days (2020-08-10).

    For the US servers, the closest one is in 61 days (2020-05-03). Sorry guys.


    TL;DR


    How is that day perfect ?

    Two things :

    And why Squirt ?

    • On a predictable schedule
    • Unlimited battles per day
    • Fast and reliable strategies, safe for level 1 carried pets
    • High experience per battle
    • Unlimited free pet healing 2 meters away (Lio the Lioness / Serr'ah)

    TL;DR : you can battle Squirt all day long at absolutely no cost for a massive amount of experience. And that's why it's usually called "Super Squirt Day". 'cause it's about Squirt the Peddler. Not porn. You weirdos.


    How can I prepare for that ?

    Important : with the bonus event active (+200% XP), you need 3 battles to level a pet from 1 to 25. If you have the +10% battle pet XP bonus (Safari Hat), it drops to 2 battles per level 25, and that's the lowest you can get. Don't bother with the +25% and +50% bonuses, it's still 2 battles even with everything at once, so you'd better stay with the free unlimited 10% for the same result.

     

    Step 1 : Setup your garrison

    Obvious first thing : get a level 100+ character, because you'll need a level 3 garrison with a level 1+ menagerie. See here for how to unlock it.

     

    Step 2 : Setup your carry team

    There's two strategies that are considered the best : Enchanted Broom + Boneshard, and Bronze Whelpling + Widget. The Broom/Boneshard doesn't rely on breed so it's easier to get, but the Whelpling/Widget is usually considered slightly faster. There's also a recent Infinite Hatchling + Corrupted Blood strategy that is apparently pretty safe as well. At this point it's up to you and what you already have (or can get easily).

    If you're going for the Whelpling/Widget but aren't sure about your Whelpling's breed, go to its WoWHead page, pick 100% speed, and check the stats at your Whelpling's level.

    If you don't have the two carry pets at level 25 : you can get one Ultimate Battle-Training Stone for free when you upgrade your garrison's hall to level 3. The quest (Alliance/Horde) is taken at your menagerie once it's level 1+, and is a simple fetch at your garrison's mine and back. It's available once per character, so if you have some alts with gold and garrison resources (or Huge Ogre Caches), you can get a "free" level-up to 25 per alt. See here for the exact cost.

     

    Step 3 : Gather a truckload of battle pets

    You sure aren't doing all that stuff to level a single bunny.

    Two useful links for that :

     

    Step 4 : Get Rematch and tdBattlePetScript

    Rematch allows you to create and load pet teams automatically depending on what you're targeting, setup a leveling queue, and some other stuff. But mostly the teams and leveling queue.

    tdBattlePetScript (and its Rematch plugin) allows you to create what is essentially a glorified macro for pet battles. The Rematch plugin allows you to save a macro for each team separately, that will also be loaded for maximum convenience.

    Please note that tdBPS IS NOT A BOT. It's a macro. You'll still have to mash the tdBPS keybind during battle to do anything, but at least you'll only have to spam a single key and you can look at something else while the battle goes on, instead of thinking carefully about every move.

    Note that the three strategies linked above (Broom/Boneshard, Whelpling/Widget, and Hatchling/Blood) have two buttons that automatically copy a Rematch import string and the tdBPS macro, so don't bother writing it yourself and just copy/paste happily.

    Also if you're interested in battle pets, you might want Battle Pet BreedID. For some pets, the breed can make a massive difference (like rabbits, or the Bronze Whelpling up there).


    What am I supposed to do that day ?

    1. Go to Squirt, and crush her battle pets (and her dreams).
    2. Turn around, talk to your menagerie manager, and heal up.
    3. Back to step 1.

    Repeat until your pets are all level 25 and ready to rock. If you installed Rematch and tdBPS, feel free to watch a movie or something during the battles.

    That's all. The setup is way longer than the execution, but it's absolutely worth it.


    I missed the magic day but it's still the bonus event, do I have alternatives ?

    A lot, but none of them are as conveniently close to free unlimited healing, or aren't as safe for level 1 pets, or aren't on a predictable schedule so you can't be sure that they'll be available during the event, or can't be fought more than once per day. Still worth it if you have lot of bandages and the required carry pets.

    Here's a guide for that.


    Why would I care with pet battles ?

    Collecting stuff. And there's a metric truckload of pets to collect through battles.

    Also it's somewhat fun and makes a nice change from grinding Magni's cocaine azerite and Wrathion's meth visions and whatnot.

    Blizzard, for the love of N'zoth, PLEASE, give us something similar to Bear Tartare in Shadowlands.

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:40 AM PST

    If you're going to take unnecessary risks on systems that may not work, and make change for the sake of change in every single expansion, please at least give us one thing that's constant. Let us farm old content easier, by giving us Bear Tartare again. Not the way it is now - the way it was in Legion.
