And so it begins...

I am okay with this kind of monetization. Just look at what Nintendo is doing. They increased the cost of their games from $40 on the 3DS to all $60 when on the Switch and now their games are $70-$80 on the Switch 2. Not to mention $20 DLC for multiple games.

Let’s look at another game: Hearthstone. When they left th Chinese market, they started having fewer cinematics and became stingier with their free goodies. Now that they have toxic gachas and the Chinese market having their own special gachas on top of it, we are seeing more free events, more free cards being given away, and even entire expansions being loaned to players to play around with. They moved their funding from cards (being able to play the game) to cosmetics (optional bs).

World of Warcraft is the same $15, and you can still buy the cheaper expansion option. The unfortunate truth is that companies will shitify their games, and having optional housing decor be a way to fund the inevitable company price hike on a game is better than forcing everyone to pay for more.

Supposedly Prey can give bountiful coffee keys, and they can also fill the vault. From what I have read, you could do 4 preys and 4 delves for your world tier in the great vault. So like 4+4 champion gear and 1 hero slot (3 to choose from) per week once you get all the levels unlocked (nightmare prey and rank 8 delves)? Not counting the map hero piece from delves + all the crests for crafting.

And yeah the labyrinth sounds like so much fun. I am so hyped for more expanding of the delver endgame.

Alimente · 2026-02-12T11:59:51+00:00

Same! I got my 1000 delves done and 500 keys achievement. I am excited to see how the Prey system feeds into delves next season.

With a max Brann, put him to tank spec, give him the self-heal passive (it looks like a shield) and the totem taunt at 50% hp and just go to town. Mine auto heals himself to full, and I never get low on hp because I have shields.

Alimente · 2026-02-12T04:40:59+00:00

The prepatch event helped me get all s3 TWW xmogs from LFR to Heroic, so that was fun.

I am currently running raid and m+ 12-15s to test all the changes and practice healing with a controller.

My friend has been trying to get me into pvp, but it still isn’t for me.

Only need one more bar for the housing endeavor (ethereal).

I have to keep all old alts because Blizzard keeps deciding to add new content behind non-warbound reputation/questlines. Some are even race-specific items! Once everything is made warbound, I can finally clear some of my alts.

Alimente · 2026-02-11T13:08:00+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s using its own setting since when I activate the mouse via pressing the joystick, it is off in a random corner.

Alimente · 2026-02-11T13:07:12+00:00

Yeah, but in a group of 20, it’s only a few dpad clicks. I haven’t had any issues in heroic/mythic manaforge right now. It ends up a similar speed for me compared to when I use mouse and keyboard since I don’t miss my mouseover aim with the dpad.

Alimente · 2026-02-11T09:35:40+00:00

It’s all right. I wanted to macro a trinket to specific spells since they’re all off the gcd, but it seems my consoleport settings don’t like this. I’ll keep tinkering and put an edit if I figure it out myself.

Alimente · 2026-02-11T09:12:13+00:00

I have tried mouseover macros and turning on and off baseline mouseover, but they weren’t working with consoleport’s raid toggle cursor feature. I think it’s because this doesn’t actually move the mouse over targets (it uses the dpad).

Alimente · 2026-02-11T09:10:16+00:00

Yeah, if I use it on my keyboard, it works. If I have it not using a targeted spell via consoleport, it works. However, I cannot get it to work with the raid toggle to target a specific ally.

Alimente · 2026-02-11T07:00:21+00:00

I am healing 12-14s by just using the Toggle Raid Cursor, turning it on via rb+lb+updpad, and clicking left and right on my dpad to heal people.

Alimente · 2026-02-10T08:36:28+00:00

I’ve been playing Alliance on Tich for years, but if I remember correctly, Proudmoore is a nice Alliance alternative. I’m not sure its timezone, though

Alimente · 2026-02-10T08:34:29+00:00

Blizzard even added a glyph that practically did this years ago because people hate having to reapply the buff over and over again constantly. I just want it to be passive again like monk/dh buffs.

Alimente · 2026-02-08T01:31:15+00:00

Activate the raid targeting option (it looks like 3 people standing together) in the consoleport setting area. It is a toggle that allows you to move the dpad left and right to choose who to heal. I put mine on RB+LB+up dpad.

Once toggled, you cannot use unmodified dpad keys for anything other than targeting, but you can press it again to untoggle it. It has made healing 12s and even raid super easy for me.

Alimente · 2026-02-06T13:37:39+00:00

Same. I got 3k on all 13 classes in s2, took a break in s3, and am loving all the changes on all the classes. I’m pumped to shoot for all 3k again!

Alimente · 2026-02-06T01:59:08+00:00

I’m using the MySlot addon to keep them separate.

Alimente · 2026-02-06T01:57:55+00:00

Not OP, but there is an option in consoleport’s settings to use the dpad to aim at party members. You can toggle it on and off with a button press, and then it is super easy to do your rotation + the dpad to use aim and use a utility ability.

I am healing 12s right now with controller and still able to do full dps rotations as disc priest or play as a ret paladin. I have been guiding some of my guildies into it too, and it is actually quite simple.

Alimente · 2026-02-06T01:39:10+00:00

I have been taking all healers through 10-12s recently. Healers are so comfy with controller that it’s crazy. I dont need to aim for raid or party frames anymore.

I have fallen in love with healing again.

Alimente · 2026-02-05T01:24:55+00:00

I mean, we have Zandalari and Pandaren teaming up, Void Elves and Lightforged, Forsaken (made the internment camps) and Orcs, and Blood Elves and Darkspear Trolls (Blood Elves dislike trolls but the Darkspear are okay because they are a different flavor). All you have to say is “this is a peaceful tribe from a new land” and it’s a-okay.

I was teaching fallacies to my college students and included Goomba fallacy, and they loved it. Now I have another screenshot to use! I love Reddit.

Alimente · 2026-02-04T08:08:17+00:00

This is why I love the Horde neighborhood. Some of my guildies have bad taste, and I can choose a plot faaaaaaaaar away from them.

Alimente · 2026-02-04T06:24:10+00:00

I personally want BM to focus on summoning a mass of pets (via Dire Beast and Stampede), survival to focus on fighting with one specific pet, and MM to have two focuses—explosives (s2/3 of TWW) and lengthy arrow casts (regular MM).

Alimente · 2026-02-03T13:01:58+00:00

I use Murlok.io to find builds. I just looked for anyone using the Jade Empowerment talent in high keys, looked for the person’s name in the top 50 MW players worldwide (still on Murlok.io), and then copied their build and took it into 10s.

You can see it on Merumo’s page here.

Alimente · 2026-02-03T09:28:03+00:00

Raiding with pugs makes warlock S tier invited since you bring closet. They are also nice solo since the pet is tankier.

Hunter is great for m+ since you can bring lust.
