Yep. We haven't even seen the end of life FTP model. Still money to be made with this game.
Patch will be live after maintenance as usual, yeah? Like 12-3pm ET maybe?
Game has another ten years in it at least, including its F2P end of life phase which will last like 5-7 years in and of itself.
Just imagine the subscriber uptick when they drop subs to $5 or 9.99?

I think so. But I also think at some point we will phase into a "WoW 2" at some point.
Brand new game where things carry over, like what was going to happen with Destiny?
I really would kill for a game in the WC universe with cutting edge graphics.... never used to feel that way. But yeah. Make it an Action RPG where we can control major heroes and I'm down.
I don't know their convention with version numbers, but worth recalling that Everquest has over twenty expansions.

You can, but it's much faster with a group.

Launcher says 6pm ET, but I think that's the pessimistic worst case scenario. Likely will be up earlier.

Yeah, but not having luck with finding one, even with group finder.
And those new mounts for the new patch are kinda meh. Reskinned talbuks?

I love Pokken!
8 hour maintenance? Ugh.

Grievous is a mostly fine affix other than a few quirks and the combo this past week is one of the easiest overall. But I guess the higher chest rewards and an easy combo led to a decent number of people running M+ who normally don't. I normally don't have any major issue pugging M+ but there seemed to be a lot more bad players than usual this week.
My favorite was a disc priest who started casting mass red before clearing his stacks and then died before his cast was finished.

Saw this on Reddit, an updated least/most played race and class combinations. Surprised to not see pandaren listed on the "least" area since, according to Realm Pop, they are the least played race for every class accept monk.
Proud to be rockin' a Dwarf Warlock.
But yeah, also have a NE DH, NE Druid, Human Paladin, and Draenei Shaman. lol
Somehow I didn't think Demon Hunters would be as popular as they've been. They really are everywhere. Also would have thought that Tauren Priests, Worgen Priests and Tauren Monks would have all been more popular.

Eh, they're easy +1's. I'm just glad they aren't dependent on RNG like the others.
Since they're so easy to get to max level I figured there'd be a bunch but not so many that they're the most-played class.

would have thought dwarf monks would be more popular considering their tank spec requires you to drink a lot of booze
and of course demon hunters are the most popular combination, there are only two combinations, one for each side and they start at level 98. conversely monks are probably the least popular, dunno if the list is counting horde/ally pandaren or if they are just not popular. there are no pure dps specs in the most popular combos either.

They're elves. They're edgy. They have cool tatoos. They have badass weapons.
Yeah. Not really surprised.

It's the first new class in couple of expansions, it's really fun to play, and starts in current content.

Wow. Did not expect it that fast.
It's okay, you'll get to play it with functioning add-ons

HOLY SHIT AT THAT NEW CUTSCENE

But it was so choppy, all of the letterboxed cutscenes are choppy for me and I don't know why.
Can anyone think of a reason?

New spell animations are pretty nice, as are the effects. Troll posture is a little wacky on some spells (mage), but human seems fine (of course). At least the spells actually feel like they are impacting with some force, so it'll be fun to work on my 80-something mage in the future.
I was reading that it would be more "difficult" to gear for Argus now, but the dauntless gear still seems to be on the vendor? I read that those items were going away. The vendor also has some champion armor items for 400 shards that immediately ups them to 880 ilvl. That sure would have been nice to have before. Artifact power from items seems to be jacked through the roof, even on existing items, or at least items I gained from class hall missions I already had in progress. I'm sure this is all common knowledge, but I haven't been following it too close, other than all the casting changes.

THAT WAS AWESOME

redeemed that dumb "chosen one" storyline.
This is the BEST expansion. I love Argus already.

Damn, I'm dying to jump in with the new stuff after work. Love that I have a three day weekend coming up because of Labor Day.
Also, has anyone checked their Mythic+ chest? If I did a +11 yesterday will my weekly chest contain rewards based on the new item level scale? So like 935 item lvl?

Lana Del Rey =D
Godlike change. Way more eager to get to that on my alt now.
Agreed, fantastic zone that deserves to be played uninterrupted by the rep gate.
I think +10 is all you needed for this week but yeah you will get the new ilvl, people have been posting their 950 titanforges in chat from +10 lol.

Sooooo good.
Same. It's been my main for a while now.
Okay, that was really dope.
I don't like how turalyon doesn't evne attempt to sound similar to WC2.
10 last week and for the near future is the same as +15 was before, in the sense that it's the highest you need to do. They squished the difficulty down. This is the second time they've done it this expansion. So a +10 last week got you a 935 today. Or anything higher also got you an M10 935. But starting today an M10 is just as hard as a 15 was before, maybe harder idk. But not much.

If that bothered you, Grom Hellscream must have driven you crazy.

Did they remove it from Balance of Power though?
A 15 in last week's cache is the same as a 10 in this week's.
