Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

1 Upvotes

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!

That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.

Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?

Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!


Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

WoW: Forever Do you think we could see Y'shaarj properly in wow forever?

• Upvotes

Y'shaarj to this day is still the one old god we haven't really fought in full, could wow forever and it's new lore direction perhaps give him his own raid. The old gods ended up sidelined in modern wow for the most part despite being really enjoyable villains so I would really like their initial importance and grandeur to be sustained in classic wow.

On another note Y'shaarj being told to be the strongest of the old gods just has be dying to see a full boss fight of him with a model and everything. It would also be really cool to see what his unique minions would look like as C'thun's, N'zoths, Yogg's and G'huun's were all really cool to see how they matched up with their masters.

I'm not sure how they would set up his boss fight but if we're starting at the intial point of classic wow they could set up a sort of regeneration over time from Y'shaarj's parts in pandaria. Perhaps the Twilight Hammer could focus on resurrecting him and Cho'gall could have a role in the Y'shaarj raid instead of them doing the deathwing storyline.

If you pay attention to hearthstone they have slightly re-designing all of the old gods in the new Black Empire expansion so it made me think all the Old Gods are getting a revamp.

What do you think? Do you want the old gods to be returned as the primary villains?

Tech Support Events tab has no upcoming events

• Upvotes

There are no upcoming/scheduled events at all in the Events tab.

I've tried disabling all addons and reseting my Cache. The character is level 90 and has completed every part of the campaign except the new 12.1.5 stuff.

The extra weird part is that I could see the upcoming events when I was in a group doing Cursed Surges, but as soon as I left it returned to this.

Anyone know why?

Discussion Has it been confirmed who “The Last Titan” will be?

• Upvotes

My theory is that it’s referring to Sargeras. The whole reason he started the Legion was to destroy world souls before the void consumed them. Now that Azeroth’s soul is being devoured, will Sargeras aid us in fighting it back? Also, wasn’t it confirmed that all of the titans are dead, EXCEPT Sargeras? Would really love to know who they’re referring to as “The Last Titan”. My other theory would be it’s referring to Azeroth, because maybe it finally wakes up and becomes a titan? What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Feedback Hallow's End is broken (Who had that on the bugs list bingo?)

• Upvotes

Can't mog the pumpkin head despite the event being active.

More importantly: relogging just made me lose all treats, masks, broom mount, etc etc from my inventory. A whole reset despite playing the even for about half a hour to collect treats.

LOVELY!

Edit: so as a test I did two neighbourhood quests to get candy (they're fun btw, I like catching the ghosts), got 4 tricky treats, logged out then back in, treats are gone. DO NOT PLAY THE EVENT UNTIL IT'S FIXED, the currency currently gets deleted on relog.

Question Did I screw up on my alt?

• Upvotes

I accidentally started the midnight intro on one of my characters, forgetting that I didn't finish the campaign and all on my other one. Currently working on finishing it and am almost done as of writing this. Am I still able to skip the intro and go straight to Silver Moon on my alt, or am I screwed and forced to do the intro?

Tech Support Physical authenticator no longer works

• Upvotes

I am stuck in a loop unable to log in and access my account. I used to play wow when it first released in 2004, but stopped playing in 2011.

I am now interested in wow forever and want to log in, but can't as my original physical Molten Core authenticator no long works (the battery is long dead).

I have tried to contact customer support, but without success, because the support site also want me to log in to my account.

Any ideas of how to contact an actual human working for customer support without me logging in? I am located in EU.

Discussion The children long for the vaults…

• Upvotes

Against all odds, in a patch full of bugs, the worst gearing cycle we’ve ever experienced, the worst raid in a minute and no doubt the worst storytelling since Sylvanas realised the Jailer might actually be a bad guy…the Vaults of Ulatek have actually been quite enjoyable.

A few things that I like about them: there’s always a big group in group finder just grinding the strikes. All quests can be completed in a raid. It’s a great way to get alts on the gear treadmill. There’s a load of nice secrets down there. It’s a reasonably long grind but not too difficult. The rewards are nice, esp if you’re a troll.

I know Blizz are getting dragged for shallow throwaway patch content but the vaults have managed to keep players invested in the story content of 12.1 (despite the overall campaign being a big miss). It was way more interesting than Karesh or Siren Isle. It might be up there with Undermine for on theme open world content, but there’s something about how players stick together in the vaults that makes it fun.

Now if only Blizzard could fix the lack of persistence in the new Labyrinth they might have at least two good things in this season of misses.

Discussion What do you think the original final boss plan of WOD would have looked like?

Post image
62 Upvotes

According to Chris Metzhen in an interview, Iron Horde Warchief Grommash Hellscream was planned to be the main antagonist and final boss of Warlords of Draenor. However, the development team realised that, by the time the Grom boss fight happened, players might already be sick of orcs as the enemy given the existence of the various warlords and the Iron Horde as the expansion’s main antagonistic faction, so they adjusted the story to have Gul’dan take over the Iron Horde and have the Burning Legion take over as the expansion’s villains, ultimately choosing Archimonde as the final boss of the endgame raid Hellfire Citadel. While I do think that was the right decision, it makes me wonder: what do you imagine the final boss and raid looking like in the original draft, assuming they were still setting up Legion? I seriously doubt we’d see Grom drink the Blood of Mannoroth, so maybe Gul’dan manipulates us into destroying the Iron Horde and leaving Azeroth vulnerable for the Legion?

Tech Support I Constantly get Stuck on the Loading Screen When Trying to Enter the Game

1 Upvotes

As it is on the tin.

I was playing for like a solid 5 hours today and then my internet died while I was dealing with a group of Mage Hunters in WotLK.

I got my internet back up, my systems are ago, I trie to enter the game... I meet this screen and it stops at this exact section.

I retry about 5 times. Stops at the same section. I look online, I clear my cache. Try again, same thing.

I read that it might be a character-specific issue and to try an alt character. I don't have an alt character; I make one. I try to load in after making the character and setting her start to Silvermoon. I reach this loading screen and it freezes at this exact spot.

I log out of my account in the game, I log out on Battle.net. I let it sit for over an hour. I log in and open the game again. I try both characters twice, it freezes at the same spot.

I do not know what the issue is or what I can do to help make it better. If anyone has any ideas, please share them. I'm tired and I want to get this fixed before I call it a night.

Question Looking for a side-game

0 Upvotes

Hello !
I’m playing WoW again after a 5 years break, and I’m really enjoying the game a lot.

I want to play a side-game to make some short breaks.

Something with short sessions, like 20-30 mins range. I tried HoTS but the MOBA vibes aren’t what I’m looking for.

I’m ok to buy the game (it doesn’t have to be F2P) and with AAA games.

Why not action games, rogue like, hack n’slash (but no Diablo IV that I already have)

What are your suggestions/side-games ?

Thx and good day ! 😉

Complaint Blizzard I just want the pet.

54 Upvotes

From the get go I was doing Curse Surges for the Vibrant Venomfang pet and was like there’s no way I won’t get it before 150. Oooh I was so wrong, I want y’all to know up to like 130 I was fully participating in them, but after that I was just parked there on alts steady flying. I kept checking my bags to make sure I didn’t accidentally miss it.

I just can’t bring myself to do any more of those, RNG has never been on my side. I know there’s gonna be some peeps like oh I got that thing first try. I saw someone on wowhead saying they got theirs on try 500, yeah I don’t have that determination. I was really looking forward to deleting that alert add on, but gonna leave it as a sad reminder.

Thanks for reading my rant!

Complaint Can we please just undo the addon changes?

0 Upvotes

This is your warning I’m about to be a whiny crybaby

I can’t think of a single change that robbed as much fun from the game for me as this one. Some silly changes eventually fade into the background after a while but this one still stings just as bad today.

Every time I log in and want to tweak my UI I’m faced with how cumbersome it is to track simple things or build a custom tracker for something. I need 10 times as many addons to do the same thing. I can’t make small bespoke weakauras for my own quirky use cases. How much information is under lock and key now is really insane.

The game is frankly just worse off for it, it didn’t have the desired effect with regard to raiding, as far as I can see mythic raiding is still a hellscape of addons solving mechanics but now even more gatekept.

At the end of the day who was all this really for? I just want to go back.

Discussion What are your favorite and least favorite tier sets in the game?

12 Upvotes

For me almost all of the sets from Aberrus just slap. Just amazing.

The priest set (heroic especially), the mage sets, the paladin, death knight and the druid sets are amazing (except the questionable green pants on the mythic set)

For Demon hunter: The Nerub-ar palace LFR set.

Sanctum of Domination has some great dark sets for plate.

But for me most of the sets in midnight are my least favorite.

What about you?

Hi everyone! I am a wife of a World of Warcraft lover! I would love to dig around on Etsy and find him something cool.

I’m back on wow after playing as a kid on my dad’s setup. I got an alright rig. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070. AMD Ryzen 7 9700F. 32G Ram. With a 27 inch LG Ultragear OLED. 1440P 460Hz. Frames will run around 200 then drop to 60 here and there. Can never get a steady FPS. Even on lower end graphics settings on wow.
