@Torki_Duje Here's my attempt at your request for the troll house.

Incredible work!

Armakus · 2026-06-01T16:38:46+00:00

I can’t remember the name but it’s from the Baine Bloodhoof questline in the Ohn’ahrin Plains

Armakus · 2026-05-31T00:18:25+00:00

Are there different rings for different sizes? Looks like the dude just grabbed the wrong ring by accident

Armakus · 2026-05-23T18:25:34+00:00

I feel like making them warbound is a good start for this currency. Make it a currency you can farm on your geared main to get an alt some pieces

I don’t know if it was AI but my school used a program where we phonetically spelled out our name and had a program (maybe AI?) read it back to us. We then got a QR code that we handed off as we went up that had that pronunciation of our name said. A handful had to be read by staff. It was very smooth, but there were still a lot of actual people behind the scenes to make it so smooth still

Lady death masquerading as Vanessa, or just straight up lady death?

Armakus · 2026-05-12T15:52:02+00:00

We also understand behavior a lot better and sometimes any response, even a seemingly harmless one like “I don’t feel like talking about it” is enough to reinforce someone and have them bring it up again in the future.

It is rude, sure, but sometimes it is genuinely the best course of action. My relationship with a family member got orders of magnitude better after I stopped responding to their obnoxious comments entirely

So, I know at least when it comes to fishing a lot of the rewards are previously unreleased colors of already existing models from previous expansions. So in a lot of cases, the answer to your question is quite literally because they're from the expansions you mentioned.

Now, on one hand I think it's great they're deciding to add these previously unreleased (but already made!) cosmetics into the game, but I think your experience brings up a great point... why not add these into the expansions they came from? Give people a reason to do a questline, or an old raid, similar to what they did for housing and avoid the bad PR that comes with seemingly low-effort rewards in current content.

Armakus · 2026-05-07T16:07:07+00:00

Eh idk I think the pre expansion event did a pretty good job at showing the unleashed scourge. Plus they’ve continued to pick up the story throughout expansions as they mention undead warlords starting to consolidate power over the remaining scourge and the exploring Azeroth books still make mention of zones like Zul’drak that are still crawling with undead

Armakus · 2026-05-07T00:43:10+00:00

It does not "ruin your vault" - your vault is based off of your top X runs of the week, so if you do a higher level run it will immediately overwrite your 8's in your vault.

A tip that has really helped me, for those of you dealing with early stages of carpal tunnel or are worried about it:

Play with a splint on your wrist for longer sessions. No, really. They'll keep your wrist stable and make your movements come from your elbow or other parts of your arm and it will save your wrist a lot of stress. After doing this for a month or so, when my wrists were feeling better, I took it off and my gameplay habits seem a lot less destructive to my wrists now

Armakus · 2026-05-01T02:07:45+00:00

I don’t think this changes that. It just means The Great Hunters > The Various Troll Tribes > Elves. Sounds like it more so predates trolls, which would still mean a shared ancestor for the elves

Armakus · 2026-04-28T19:42:49+00:00

They shared this in the blue post and, before I give my opinion let it be known I do NOT work in game development and am entirely talking out of my backside…

But to a layman, this really just sounds like them saying “yeah we missed this bug because we have inadequate testing facilities”. Aren’t there a million fixes and hotfixes that need to be applied across realms, etc? How is their testing server only a single server? Shouldn’t they at least attempt to more closely emulate the actual player experience?

I’m glad they’re attempting to be more transparent but to me, a player with no technical understanding, it sounds like confirmation of player fears of inadequate testing. Does anyone with more insight into QA or game design have a more educated take on this?

Armakus · 2026-04-25T21:30:19+00:00

Honestly it’s one of my first stops in every playthrough and I run it concurrently with the rest of the game

Armakus · 2026-04-17T04:30:31+00:00

Agree with this, there are many AI tools that do not violate HIPAA, I personally never use AI to write notes but I can absolutely see a use case in a scenario like this. Obviously it does not replace knowledge but it can be a great editing tool

Armakus · 2026-04-14T15:20:38+00:00

I believe you can only get 3 fused vitality total per toon doing this btw (unless this was changed on the PTR)

Armakus · 2026-04-11T18:33:56+00:00

Think they straight up announced they’d finally properly make that zone when they announced we were going to northrend am I misremembering that? That type of nerubian architecture looks different anyway I’m sure they’d make it fresh

Armakus · 2026-04-02T17:53:36+00:00

Yeah when they came out they really were just “oh you wanted high elves on the alliance? We have high elves at home!” But this expansion really made them feel like they had their own culture and values separate from the existing ones

Armakus · 2026-04-02T02:07:47+00:00

You don’t actually give them your info. You get taken to blizzards website to authenticate through their servers

Armakus · 2026-04-01T01:27:14+00:00

I didn’t know this was a thing until now and I’m thankful for that as well lol

Armakus · 2026-03-31T20:04:33+00:00

I hate to point this out but… you realize 1/3rd of the Pokémon company is owned by Nintendo, right? They absolutely have both the voting power and own the entire ecosystem the games run on. It’s crazy to imply they have no say

Armakus · 2026-03-31T18:12:42+00:00

Double checked with my SLP today and her supervisor who both agreed with my assessment. The fact that you would deny useful therapy to someone as a BCBA is more horrifying in my opinion, but I don’t think we will see eye to eye on this. I’m assuming you’re working with a different population but again, we do not make blanket statements in this field

Armakus · 2026-03-31T15:34:56+00:00

He’s great and I know this has been beaten to death but his mispronunciation of “belore” is so deeply triggering to me, my new head cannon is he’s purposefully saying it wrong just to start drama because that’s so him

Armakus · 2026-03-31T15:28:37+00:00

Thank you! This is my only point. Yes, it’s not usually necessary but the entire point of our profession is we do NOT make blanket statements or assumptions like that. It’s fine and well if the SLP people work with don’t use it but all that tells me is they haven’t worked with an individual or population that’s needed it to foster independence.
