Today's the day...

-
Today is the day that my account renews. I was seriously considering putting my account on hold for a few months. Those guildies that raided, have disappeared. My friends who ran dungeons with me, stopped. I logged on the first time this month and all those friends on my real-id list show "over 1 month" as last logon. It's a lonely, quiet place.

For kicks, I logged on last night and ran some randoms (3 scenarios and heroic Scholomance). I find scenarios really fun. I can typically connect in only a few minutes (>5), some different mechanics in each one (bombard bugs, fight monkeys for beer, use fireworks on attackers). Plus the daily reward isn't half bad. Afterwards, I was sporting the skin of Professor Slate. While polymorphed, you get a little +Nature damage buff. Nice! Fun!

I've reached 460 average iLevel. I am ready for LFR, I think. Probably should browse the raid videos and see what's out there to prep me. I was peeking at AskMrRobot again the other day and they've released the beta build. With this, it appears the best raid for me to drop into "Terrace of Endless Spring" with almost 20 upgrade options.


Yes, that means basically everything needs upgrading, including my 440 chest, pvp helm, hallows end rings, and lots of blues. So, except for the Inscribed Jade Fan, I need some work.

I am looking forward to 5.2 dropping. Not for the green fire, but the quest line to get there. From my read of the walkthrough, it sounds similar to the "Battered Hilt" questline from Wrath. In that quest line you travel through the old Sunwell raid (special secret back door) to finalize the reforging of the blade. Wrathion, Black Temple, we're gonna to reminisce about Dad.

Did I put it on hold? Nope, found a new level of interest and heck with those home projects. I got things to do and people to quest for.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature developm

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra
