@SomeLikeItHoth I'm hype

Apparently the GCD change has actually worked out well for a lot of specs... hopefully this is the case

I avoid any videos or PTR so I can enjoy it and be surprised by patches. Think it drops overnight for me so I'll be up at 4am to play for a few hours before work

What's this?

And are they fixing Paladin Holy mastery? Didn't feel like playing again because of how stupid range-based bonuses seemed

That sounds dumb

Cooldowns existing alongside mana is bad design in the first place. They should be getting rid of all cooldowns including GCD

They're trying to slow down combat.

I think the reason is they want to stop cooldowns being mashed into a single macro. Cuz it feels good at first with big damage, but when they all expire, you hit like a noodle. So they want to encourage people to space their cooldowns out so combat feels good all the way through.

GCD's aren't bad as long as you still have skills that keep their own and are outside of the GCD system.

If by " the GCD change has actually worked out well for a lot of specs" you mean they caved and took everything but your one big offensive cooldown off the GCD, I guess it worked out.

It's still a shitshow for defensives though, tanks especially. There's no way a change like that can EVER work out for the best, you just kinda get used to it.

Hope it's good. It will be nice being able to level up my Druid again. Think I got to 110 a few days after Legion dropped which was what? Two years ago?

Any word on of we'll be able to fly in the new zones?

You have to complete the pathfinder achievements like in Legionamd WoD.

Negatory. They don't do that anymore, you have to get a Pathfinder achievement in modern expansions which usually doesn't come out until a couple raid tiers, at the least.

And this is just the prepatch anyways. No new zones, just all the new class changes, stat squish, etc.. There will be some new world quests in Darkshore I think while we ramp up to the new expansion's content being released on August 14.

The global cooldown change sounds unfun. I dont want to do one attack every X seconds

What will become of Fire Mage and melee classes? They were incredibly fun with all the instant cast spells you mix into your normal rotation

No. Each patch adds months of content

Assuming you dont play 18 hours a day that is.

Man, I am actually bummed that Legion is ending. Mostly because there won't be really lucrative gold missions for a while. I bought Legion's digital deluxe edition for free from those gold missions. And I still have two million gold.

Maybe this time I'll actually get all my alts progressed enough to get nice gold missions on all of them rather than four or five.

If we are incapable of playing every class simultaneously to ensure we aren't ganked this way, then it's our fault, pure and simple.

No? Once you start getting bored a new patch with new raids, etc come out. Then you get 1 final raid and a 6/m break. Thats when people "burn out". Last Raid was Dec 2017. People STILL raid this shit daily. You don't get bored of WoW. There's so much to do. This Expansion gave a ton of new stuff compared to last expansion.

From what I've seen people say, there's just not much you can do about instability on days like this. You can test and test, but hundreds of thousands of people logging on are probably going to mess things up.

Sort of. You can buy $15 of Battle.net balance with WoW gold, so you can just pay for your sub with WoW gold so long as you make enough of it.

Hell, I bought the BFA deluxe edition with WoW gold.

you don't have to buy the game anymore. you can just subscribe for a month of service for $15 and no further charges. they used to make you also purchase the game itself on top of the subscription. I don't know if that's what you meant but...yea

hey, when you actually get in, your mythic+ chest will have 1000 wakening essences in it - so for all your 110s, you get a free legendary of your choice.

I'll probably just take a Sephuz or Prydaz on everything to help with leveling, tbqh.

According to Icy Veins, Saruan's Resolve is best for survivability and Tyelca, Ferren Marcus's Stature is good for 5 mans and a DPS gain. Sephuz also good and Prydaz should be good for everyone during leveling

Pre patch. 8.0. All the BFA changes, but not the content.

Next week is the Burning of Teldrassil event, then we have 3 weeks of quests leading up to the actual launch on 14th August.

Oh shit, maybe i should start playing earlier

I dunno who to main anymore. I used to be a DK tank but i dont have my razer naga mouse anymore and they have too many CDs to use without

I like fire mage but queues are long and with the GCD changes they probably arent fun anymore (will have to try it out)

Maybe a healer but they suck at questing and levelling
