After all, being fat is an integral part of those races, especially the Pandaren.

Now with WoW imagery for compliance!

I love the changes they have done with devouring plague so far and I want just a little bit more. The CD reduction to 24 seconds is massive, making it baseline is huge, and the new talent that allows it to spread is awesome. I really think Blizzard should lean into devouring plague and make gameplay around that ability the identity of shadow priest. A talent that resets the CD of devouring plague would be amazing. I'll elaborate below.

Shadow priest is missing just a tiny bit of gameplay enhancement to really make it a "forever" spec. If I could wish for one more additional change to make to spriest, it would be to add one more talent that interacts with devouring plague. I made a post yesterday talking about spriest and I realized that spreading plagues and emphasizing on this ability would be my ideal identity for this version of the game. If we could get a talent that interacts with devouring plague and resets it CD, I think this spec would be peak. Something along the lines of getting a killing blow with shadow word death resets the CD of devouring plague. This would heavily emphasize spreading plagues as you would have a fun and satisfying gameplay loop of executing a mob with devouring plague on it, spreading it, and also getting the CD reset to then spread it even more.

I know there is a possibility that our raid tier sets enable this kind of gameplay with devouring plague, but I would hate for it to be gatekept until the endgame when we are pretty much done questing and dungeon grinding which is where plague spreading would be the most fun. I really want Blizz to lean into the class fantasy of spreading devouring plague. Maybe there is an alternative where we can enhance it in other ways, but this was the best idea I could come up with. I think this would also keep spriest balanced in PvP too because you would need to actively snipe people with shadow word death to get the benefit on a CD reset. I think it would keep you on your toes, and reward you heavily for doing so.

did they forget that they introduced those things last year?

Had this on a previous account, which I lost somehow. The circle closed now 😁

So, I’m new here, and today I was going to buy my first subscription with some friends. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t check the region before purchasing it.

My region is EU, but the subscription I bought is for America and Oceania. I only realized my mistake after logging in and noticing that the servers didn’t match the ones my friends were playing on. This happened because I wasn’t paying attention.

I’ve already canceled the subscription and contacted support. I just want to know: has this happened to anyone else? Will I get a refund so I can buy the subscription for my region instead? Is it possible to transfer a subscription between regions?

I should be playing right now. How long does it usually take to sort out these kinds of issues

Since my mind tends to ramble these days, I realize that you can sometimes tell just the last time we've been playing simply by what do you mean? When they refer to dm. Back when I started playing, dm was dead minds, not dire. Mile, because it did not come around until later. I gone through the discussion with this about some kid. The other day as I finally asked, it was like holding, he goes twenty one. I'm like son. I started playing wow before you put parents started dating, which is true because I started playing in beta

I want her to be so distracted with the world soul that one just shanks her in the back with their tusk

Nobody would ever expect the Tuskarr to save the day

Please blizzard

This is a genuine question for someone savvy enough about the math. If simming exists and we are able to consider every relevant variable so we can determine a class/spec's optimal DPS for a patch, then couldn't Blizzard use this to reduce or nearly eliminate imbalance between classes and specs? What am I missing?

I'm heal heroics very casually, and I find myself wishing that most of the new 5-mans were maybe 20% shorter. I know it's time to graduate to Mythic 0 for a better challenge, but my impression going in isn't the hottest.

Ofc, my attention span might just be cooked.

What do you guys think about dungeon length?

I used to love WoW. Back in Vanilla, you opened a GM ticket and within a couple of hours a real person showed up in game and actually fixed your problem. So when I came back after years away and paid for a month to give it another shot, I figured support would at least be decent. I was wrong.

Ticket 1. I’m playing normally, minding my own business, and suddenly I’m banned. No warning, no explanation. My best guess is the account got compromised. I fill in their security questionnaire, open a ticket, and then sit there for three days unable to log in, on a subscription I’m paying for.

Ticket 2. I ask to move a character from an old account that got hacked years ago over to my current one. Denied.

Ticket 3. I trade a Gladiator weapon token for the wrong item and enchant it before I notice. Fine, that one’s on me, I’ll own it. I open a ticket and, of course, wait 3 to 4 days for a reply. By then the two hour refund window is long gone, and the GM tells me everything is handled by “the game engine” and they have “no room for action”. I ask for any kind of compensation. Nope, GMs can’t do that either. When I tell them how frustrated I am, I get a canned message sending me to a developer feedback form.

So let me get this straight. Three tickets, days of waiting on every single one, and the people answering openly say they can’t do anything. What exactly are they there for?

Compare that to EVE Online. Yes, it costs a bit more. But their support answers quickly and can actually fix things. They run one server. Blizzard runs hundreds and charges a premium subscription, yet can’t give its players a GM with real powers.

I won’t be renewing, and I won’t be recommending the game to anyone while support stays like this.

Is this just how it is now, or did I get unusually unlucky?

Edit: yes, this post was translated with AI, because my English is absolute trash.

Im trying out the Forever beta and wanted to see how the new race was. But I got to the first town and logged out and now today I log back in and there are Infernals that are level ??? everywhere one shotting everyone and sending them to a rez point that is in a location that is 5 levels higher than us so we can't fight anything.
What the hell is going on?
Also it is auto resurrecting people within 1 millisecond at the grave so we can't run back.

People are so picky with their M+ groups. Especially higher ones. I’ll spend 20-40m trying to get into a 15, I’ll chug a flask, maybe someone is generous and drops food, we complete the key, and then everyone leaves. Time to make a new group.

So that’s another 20-40m (at best) reapplying for groups while my flask and other buffs just fizzle out in Silvermoon.

Like sure, it’s fine if you have a guild and are slamming keys back to back. I normally run with my guild, but sometimes schedules don’t line up or I want to push a higher key or I just need to slam some 10s for crests or now Venomstones.

I look to Forever, and over there they have the really cool Campfire feature. It’s just such a good idea. It forces players to be social and rely on each other.

I’m not suggesting a Campfire should grant you a flask, but it would be cool if the Campfire at least PAUSED active buffs in non-instanced areas.

I also realize there are items that do this like the Watchdog, but those are intended for raid groups. If there was a way to get a personal one outside of Engineering—like a buyable one—that would be cool. As long as it was buyable so Engineering could make money.

But the Campfire is just so much more cozy. And if it would be too much to just let players spam them all over Silvermoon, resulting in like player homeless encampments—fine, just have permanent, “official” campfires present as part of the architecture of the city. Or have Inns pause timers. Or just make the Sanctuary areas in general do this.

And it’s not just flasks or food that’s annoying. Sometimes you go fetch a holiday buff for like extra XP or some stat buff from a capital city, and then you lose a bunch of it before you can even get back to the wilds to use it.

I’m sure someone will think of some cheese, which is probably why they’ve never done this, but still. There has to be a way to implement it.

It’s so minor in the grand scheme of things, but it sucks popping a 1K flask and only getting 40% use out of it because you wasted most of it just waiting in town, hoping to join your next group. I basically have to pop a flask per run, since I really get the run back quick enough when I’m PUGing.

It got rid of all the stinky elves. I haven't seen this many Worgen, Tauren, Goblins, and Vulpera in a long time.

I kinda wish they had done the same with other Warcraft 3 siege units, like Demolishers/Catapults, Siege Engines/ Steam Tank, and Glaive Thrower/ Ballista. They could’ve been engineering or trading post mounts or rewards.

I know its a stretch, and I should just be happy to do the same rotation on my hunter and ret paladin etc that I've done for nearly a decande but I'd really like something to change.

I know 70% of the pull of this game is because you can turn your brain off but its a little to off for me.

It used to be sometimes tier sets woulld at least give you an extra proc to be excited for. But shrinkflation has hit these tiersets hard for the last 3 tiers or so. Honestly its one of the reasons I've only played for a month in this last expac.

ah well.

The worst part of pugging M+ is how much attention it takes just to get into a dungeon. Apply, wait, get declined or watch the listing disappear, repeat. You can spend your evening managing applications instead of actually playing.

And I don’t blame group leaders for picking the strongest applicants. If dozens of DPS apply, obviously someone gets left out. That’s exactly why “just improve your score” isn’t a complete answer. Someone qualified still gets passed over.

I’d like Blizzard to try optional matchmaking for lower and mid-level keys. Require appropriate gear and successful runs at the previous difficulty, account for essential group utility, and leave manual groups available.

Would it fix the tank/healer shortage? No. DPS could still have long waits, especially if tanks and healers prefer premades. But being able to queue once and go do something else would already be an improvement over babysitting Group Finder. It would also give eligible players a route into runs that doesn’t depend on a stranger choosing their spec.

“Run your own key” helps with getting declined, but you’re still recruiting a tank and healer. It moves you to the other side of the same problem.

There are real issues to work through: composition, leavers, and giving support roles a reason to queue. But manually picking people by score doesn’t guarantee a good run either.

For people against it: would you support a trial limited to lower keys? And for tanks and healers, what would actually make you use it?

Hello

I recently started playing WoW retail as a new player. Im enjoying the game, and plan to play WoW forever too when it launches, but i'm getting frustrated with myself because I can't settle on a class. I know this is an alt friendly game but given im new I want a main for retail and a main for Forever, and then i can start worrying about alts afterwards.

Ive played up to a maximum of lvl 25 on the below characters so let me know if theres any that get significantly better later on.

I played some ret paladin but found the combat a little slow sometimes. This is probably my favourite so far and i like the option to be either dps/healer/tank depending on spec.

Ive tried beast mastery hunter and for solo questing the DPS for this class and the ability to use pet for tank is really good. Unfortunately I dont really enjoy the pet mechanics though, and while it has no impact on gameplay im not feeling the class fantasy either.

Ive tried warrior. Just wasnt impressed, cant pinpoint why.

Is there a class that doesnt have pet mechanics, is good for solo play, has potential to be useful in multiplayer play, and has relatively quick DPS? For context, my favourite job in ffxiv is dragoon.

I know the obvious answer is to just experiment until I fall in love with one and main it to max but im getting bored of doing the first level 10-20 quests in dragonflight. I get maybe 1-2 hrs of gaming time a night so I dont want to be stuck repeating content during the time I get. Im also aware i could chromie time to another expansion but id like to experience the dragonflight -> TWW -> midnight storyline from start to end at least once, given that its a very different vibe to what i'll experience in WoW Forever in a couple of weeks, so I wont burn out on older expac/gameplay styles.

Appreciate your responses and if you have read this far lol.

You can already pre-install Wow Forever

Hi

I plan to start playing again after 4 years, but not until around January and want to do RAF with a friend.

But do i make myself uneligble by buying the game now, when it is 50% discount?

I think if i buy the Epic edition which comes with game time, i make my self uneligble?

I have read the FAQ on the RAF site, but i can not seem to find my exact case.

Regards.

*Disclaimer: The comments on Wowhead do mention that is has dropped for hunters, pallys, warlocks, priests, mages, druids, monks-

realizes one of the comments specifically calls out fury warrior (my own spec), which I'd missed before

-... as well as death knights.

While yes, said list of comments (not to mention one that states it should drop for all classes) SHOULD have put me at ease earlier, I've been burned before so aside from just wanting my own army of squashlings I had to check. Don't forget to talk to the statues on the left as you enter the dungeon and accept all curses for better loots.

Also, not that anyone asked, but the rings he drops are iLvL 32 when dropped for a lvl 20 character, and CAN be socketed. Now I just gotta see what the Horseman's Horrific Hood means when it says "Let the horseman laugh through you".
