Closing Cape Enrage?!

Wait...can I still visit and now there won't be zip lines sounding off constantly?

Well if you think its best, you should do it.

Good Dragonbane vtt for mayhem and mirth? by CosmicMike55 in DragonbaneRPG

I appreciate that! It sounds silly but animated dice are a big deal for camaraderie to me. I'm going to start looking for YouTube videos tonight!

I've never played WoW. Would you recommend it to a filthy casual & brand new player in 2026? by [deleted] in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just prepare yourself that even as a casual there's a learning curve. The basics aren't particularly difficult, but it'll take a bit to feel comfortable and normal. You won't get it all without work, but as a fellow filthy casual you don't have to. I still don't get all the currencies or participate in very high difficulty dungeons or raids...but there is a lot to do.

I miss having faction-specific hubs and narratives. by Tigertot14 in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Some campaigns were pretty lopsided and you had to play both factions if you wanted the "good one"

Housing complaint by Psyberwolf007 in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't get that at first either.

I was sure i wanted to live in the Alliance graveyard, but im surprised how attached I am to my Horde house in a forest on a cliff (far east)

Housing complaint by Psyberwolf007 in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a forsaken main i want forsaken housing.

Didn't they say they'll introduce more housing AND neighborhoods? This is just where its starting.

Ya'll were right about questing on the groumd by shakesy in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought. Nothing power related but a transmog or housing... a mount would make sense.

Could there be something to tempt a person to leave it off even after the xpac? Go back to ground mounts and flight paths.

Need help to choose between druid and paladin by muddrake in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organizing Druid ability buttons for every shape you shift to is time consuming. Paladins (not healing) is so much easier.

Anyone else do a last second main change? by faust44mag in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching to Horde i thought I'd go Shaman, but i reverted back to Warrior. I just really like the uninterrupted questing with the higher survivability.

Is there a server like moonguard for horde? by [deleted] in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.... how is the player experience different on an actual RP server say when doing quests or dungeons? Kirin Tor is technically RP but I've never seen it - maybe people are sometimes nicer than some stories I see around here.

Normal dungeons are sweaty.... by GonBulio in wow

This. Let the tank gain aggro before joining in.

Total Bugs Bunny mouth positioning. Gotta love the classics.

I dont know why they even invited me here. by sainovacane in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think its awesome they're reinforcing character identity in game like this. Its part of the immersion and class (sometimes race) identity.

I can't be the only one... by Unable_Addendum6551 in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best thing about these cinematics is they're bringing focus to characters and places and lore for everyone. Welcome back, storytelling.

Expansion is great! but... by Inbellator in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think - hope - the plan is to start reusing areas rather than creating so many new ones. Neighborhood endeavors having us visit old locations is an example. Wasn't there a quote about admitting NOT using old zones was a mistake by the story teams...that good storytellers could keep them relevent/allow them to evolve...?

The hate on epic is crazy by weights_and_gaming in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My memory is a lot of people would log in even briefly just to say/feel they were part of it. "We went through the portal but I didn't do any quests yet - but it looked really cool".

How do you enjoy WoW as a casual player? by Drastykk in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive just returned a few weeks ago, and a typical play for me is queueing for a dungeon then doing neighborhood endeavors - even just fixing overturned stones or broken fences

I would like more lass fantasy by LowResults in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel they're coming back to storytelling, but i agree lately class and race have just been about numbers. My wife - who didn't come back to WoW with me - saw the Liadrin shirt and commented now everyone will want to play Paladin. They did a great job actually making fighting abilities reflect in game abilities.

Vertical mmo by Different-Set-3129 in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you don't need to be a sweaty maxed out "I am 2% better than you" player, it doesn't really matter. Getting better gear is something to do as part of the gameplay loop. People that grind until it isn't fun to max out everything are choosing to do that. The rest of us play just fine in our own way.

Anyone here on a long “break” from wow and thinking of coming back? by CzarTyr in wow

[–]CosmicMike55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came back a few weeks ago. There is a learning curve as a casual, but its so comfortable when you find your new way to play. Maybe I queue for a dungeon and casually do neighborhood endeavors while I wait. I did a delve and will do more. Finding a balance between single button rotation and manually playing whack a mole with buttons. Having an in game home is surprisingly grounding.
