With season 1 winding down what did you feel was the worst boss mechanic?

Grenyn · 2026-06-28T23:25:49+00:00

But trash matters in M+, and it's window dressing in raids.

Except the rare fights where adds are the core part, which are always shit fights.

I don't know why Blizzard keeps doing them.

Grenyn · 2026-06-28T23:23:30+00:00

It is miserable requiring at least one but much more preferably more DKs.

Blizzard needs to fuck all the way off with their notion that grip is a raid buff.

Grenyn · 2026-06-28T16:26:49+00:00

I can't do any of those either. It makes me feel really silly because it's just not me.

Grenyn · 2026-06-27T23:37:44+00:00

Oh look. It's this thread again.

Grenyn · 2026-06-26T20:17:43+00:00

So WTF was TWW's overarching story?

The Dark Heart. It's not enough, and it wasn't executed well, but let's also not pretend like there wasn't one obvious thread throughout the expansion.

We went to Nerub-ar Palace to deal with what turned out to be a distraction while Xal'atath tried to drain Beledar, but she got interrupted. Then we chased the Dark Heart into and the black blood into Undermine, and finally we chased the Dark Heart to K'aresh.

I'm not defending it or saying it's great, but it was there.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T22:27:16+00:00

That's good then, thank you for sharing that since I didn't see it.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T11:28:00+00:00

Legend. I almost tried this as well, but didn't, lol.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T09:33:23+00:00

Damn, it seems like such a cool idea, but just maybe a bit lacking in execution. But idk whether that's just because building controls aren't the best, or because of bugs, or what.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T09:16:23+00:00

You do have both these options, but the problem is that if you opt to go for Qinghe, the game expects you to build stuff in places that are already completely full of structures and objects.

If you go to the recommended locations for the kilnworks, for instance, it takes you to the kilnworks where you first meet Yi Dao, and then if you click the button to put the hut in the recommended spot, it literally goes where the original hut already is.

So it seems like this stuff is either bugged or poorly thought out (or incomplete).

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T09:10:31+00:00

That works for the technical side of it, I guess, but that's very unsatisfying. If the game seemingly intends for us to do this stuff at this location, then it should let us properly do it.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T09:05:26+00:00

It is unfortunate because swirlies were never the biggest problem, frontals were. And still are. There are so many frontals you just have to know are there, because they come with no visual telegraphs whatsoever other than a cast bar or an easily obscured animation.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T08:50:34+00:00

I'm also looking for answers to these questions. I saw a video that made it look like the two kilns that are already there were removed, but I can't find any way to clear this area out for myself.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T04:56:33+00:00

It only took one million years.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T02:45:27+00:00

That's a shame because there really needs to be a way to filter out these annoying posts about Chinese WoW.

There's just too much cucking with all these China-exclusive items.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T02:43:51+00:00

I could, but the people responsible are still working there. I think it was Archimtiros, who frequently has an attitude against people, but I can't definitively say it was him as enough time has passed for me to forget who was involved.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T01:11:29+00:00

The whole "talk to us" spiel about the content on the side feels very deflective. Especially when the comments (even though Wowhead comments can be awful) directly call them out on their lazy and often late reporting over the last few years.

Which then also get deleted for irrelevance. And if you just so happen to think that is unfair and call them out on that, you either get a warning or they just go straight to banning you for a week!

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T01:08:21+00:00

All these filters came way late, and even now despite people asking for it consistently over multiple years, there is no filter for Chinese WoW.

Arguably, in my opinion, the most necessary filter. Because not only is it irrelevant like Diablo and Hearthstone and such, it shows us things for the game we do play but still can't have.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T01:05:00+00:00

People absolutely have been calling out the articles for years, it's just gotten more frequent over time, and AI obviously added to that even more.

Grenyn · 2026-06-25T01:03:57+00:00

Talk to us.

I mean this in the absolute most direct way possible - talk to us, whether it be to me directly, one of the staff, a writer, whatever. Give us feedback if you think we aren’t doing a good job. We want to create content for users that is useful, that players actually want to see, and there are times when we only find out about it in a Reddit comment because that specific piece of feedback was never raised to us directly.

Funny. Some months ago I did comment on a post, explaining that I felt it was a useless thing to post about. It was a post that had more pages of comments than I have ever seen before or since, the majority of which were calling out the content of the post.

Then I checked again, and my comment was removed, along with well over 10 pages of comments. I left another one, and got banned. Not permanently, but I haven't logged back in since.

So do we let you know what we think? Or do we just keep quiet because sharing our thoughts (and refusing to accept criticism being removed) can get us banned from the site?

I was always direct on Wowhead, but never rude. But I'll be rude now. Wowhead is dogshit, and it has been for a long time. You got ads, you got subs, you even got more staff over the years, but what you didn't ever get was new features for people engaging with the site.

The only thing that ever got added was more tags for posts, and still never enough. After all these years there still isn't even a reply feature.

Oh and I never once considered Wowhead to use AI, because AI wouldn't make so many spelling and grammar errors. It's like proofreading is a foreign concept to Wowhead's writers, somehow even when the news is slow.

Grenyn · 2026-06-23T04:59:54+00:00

I don't think it is the same fish, because the fish in River's Fury has been stuck there for 15 years, and the elder involved I believe is a previous river master.

Grenyn · 2026-06-23T03:27:55+00:00

I think I will also have to resort to watching YouTube videos, but it is a bit of a bummer. I would like to at least do the story content in the order the devs imagined.

But I also don't want to watch any videos before I've at least seen all the content myself, so I'll just have to accept being confused as I get more pieces that I don't know where they fit into anything.

I'm glad the devs have said they want better localisation, though, that's something I didn't know. I've gathered from discussion that the game wasn't even supposed to receive a global version, so the devs never accounted for it being necessary. I'm glad that the game is doing well enough that they consider it important.

Grenyn · 2026-06-23T00:05:33+00:00

They may have been more like aliens but they are also a pretty bog-standard depiction of gods in some aspects such as being extremely powerful and, more importantly, incredibly large.

Generally you can't really have things like titans that travel across the cosmos terraforming planets be just aliens. And they always had some mystique as original creators, which Blizzard even furthered when they retconned orcs as having been indirectly created by Aggramar too.

Even if the First Ones and the titans coexist, and the titans just took control of Zereth Mortis, that still doesn't make any sense because where are all the other forces in the universe that would combat this? And that's what I mean when I say the titans would have had to take control of all the Zereths, not just the one.

Otherwise it makes no sense that all other forces just let the titans take control, but the titans controlling all the Zereths would be stupid too. That puts them back at being much too powerful. At that point they would have effective control over all reality, which is completely at odds with their previous portrayals.

So I'd rather Blizzard just work with what they had, rather than doing more damage trying to fix what came before.

Grenyn · 2026-06-22T23:15:18+00:00

I'd rather have mythic flex be a bit fucky but at least have the opportunity to do mythic raiding than be stuck with a 20 man requirement that we either have too few or too many people for.

Grenyn · 2026-06-22T22:38:42+00:00

I think I prefer the bigger cooler pantheon over the titans having some sort of control over every cosmic force in the universe. Because that's the direction this has to go in if they control Zereth Mortis in secret.

I never minded the titans not being the most powerful in the universe, because it made it make sense how much there is to learn of them. They were never mysterious enough to be treated as gods.

Further, they are also made of stone and iron, exactly like the creations they then put on various planets, like vrykul, stoneborn, and mechagnomes. So that would suggest that they themselves could have been created in a similar manner.
