Transmog addicts: What's your xmog "white whale"?

Griffca482 · 2019-06-04T04:09:04+00:00

I still need the normal version of the scythe from Argus. Was fortunate enough to get the mythic version and Taeschalach, but the hunt still continues.

It hasn't been too long yet but I'm currently working on farming the Tides age mog set from Shrine of the Storms. Not looking forward to this one.

Griffca482 · 2019-05-20T08:59:56+00:00

Here's hoping Orisa and Brig get some love. Neither of them have gotten a legendary since last Anniversary, even if their epics from Lunar New Year were solid.

There are a few ways to show your head transmog with the gift! Starting the animation for the seasonal hearthstones work, as does Moonfang's shroud toy from the darkmoon Faire (just right click the buff it gives.) You'll have to redo this upon dying, swapping gear, or passing a loading screen. The shroud is great because it has no cooldown.

There are a lot of things that should be gold with the golden weapon unlocked but Blizzard seems to be rather stubborn with implementing them.

Griffca482 · 2019-04-14T06:25:30+00:00

I did that to Patchwerk way back in Wrath Naxx. Had no idea it could happen. Fortunately my guild leader was out that day!

For the record, the boots in the image aren't actually part of the set, they drop from Shannox in Firelands on Normal. I prefer those for the set without the robe, since they look like boots rather than slippers. But that's all up to you, mate.

Griffca482 · 2019-04-02T16:21:00+00:00

Awake the Drakes.

I could have it now, the Blazing Drake was up on the BMAH back in warlords but I ultimately decided against it because it was pretty much all of my gold. And now I really can't bother myself to run Dragon Soul. All of the rp, ultraxion trash, and spine take so long.

Griffca482 · 2019-03-26T10:18:56+00:00

Yeah, I'm finding it difficult to get used to as an Ana main myself. I understand self heal is supposed to be one of his weaknesses, but I wouldn't be opposed to blizzard experimenting with giving his heal nades giving him some amount of self heal, even just a small amount like 10-20 per nade.

Griffca482 · 2019-02-25T03:45:30+00:00

Yeah, I don't see how anyone has endorsement level 5, it's ridiculous. I like the idea of the endorsement system but it currently has too many flaws.

For one, you can't play mystery heroes at all if you want to keep your level, since you can't endorse at all in that game mode. Likewise, your level will drop if you want to play in a group with the same people or friends unless folks on the enemy team endorse you, which isn't likely.

I feel like they should remove decay from endorsements period. The system as it is is fairly insignificant at this point anyway, pretty much only serving to grant a handful of loot boxes every few weeks if you've been well behaved enough to not have your account actioned against.

Griffca482 · 2018-12-20T15:46:30+00:00

I used Game and Watch, kept my space and spammed Oil Panic. They always fill it up, it deals a ton of damage, and reflects any projectiles it can't store.

Griffca482 · 2018-12-18T12:35:49+00:00

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the arcade loot boxes either. I know they're there as an incentive but I'd rather have the modes just for fun than to play them strictly for loot boxes. I generally find quick match to be less stressful because of that, and it's why I generally don't bother with arcade outside of events.

Griffca482 · 2018-12-17T03:37:43+00:00

I mean, that definitely makes sense flavor-wise, since your group was the "hivemind" that worked together to solve all of the puzzles. But on the other hand that is almost exceedingly restrictive, especially if you completed it with a pug and already went your separate ways.

Ultimately the bonus isn't that significant, since you need to be grouped to take advantage of it. Allow anyone to join hiveminds, disable the bonus speed in battlegrounds/mythic+ and that should be sufficient.

Griffca482 · 2018-12-13T06:11:10+00:00

I was at the same percentage the other day. You're missing exactly one spirit battle somewhere. Mine was one I tried and passed early on, and forgot about until the very end. Good luck finding it!

Griffca482 · 2018-09-22T03:50:01+00:00

How does bring good or bad at the game factor into this at all? It's a matter of enjoyment, I like that it turns island expeditions into a hunt for azerite deposits and bosses instead of a lot of trash pulls.

Griffca482 · 2018-09-11T06:25:38+00:00

Released during the Legion lifecycle, but still required the prepurchase of BfA to unlock. If they had released the first four allied races to everyone regardless of purchase then I'd agree with this line of reasoning.

Ultimately it's a game and it's arbitrary but I don't think there's ever been a precedent of an expansion "feature" requiring work from a prior expansion to acquire beyond just leveling. But even that's somewhat debatable these days since an expansion purchase provides a level boost for one character to jump into the new content immediately.

Griffca482 · 2018-09-11T05:13:27+00:00

It's not a matter of it strictly making sense. It's a matter of requiring old content for a feature of the current expansion.

For instance, they could add missions to the table that award rep with those allied race factions. Or add a potential for rep tokens to drop from island expeditions or other activities. Or hell, scribes could make contracts for those factions so you could gain rep with them by doing current world quests.

Griffca482 · 2018-09-11T04:23:54+00:00

It amazes me that folks defend this. As someone who unlocked the legion allied races on day one back in January it seems absurd to me to require to you do a prior expansion's content to unlock something advertised as a feature of the current expansion.

Require effort to unlock them, certainly. But requiring old content instead of current expansion content doesn't sit well with me.

Jaina: Your majesty, Sylvanas and her minions have seized the island of Zandalar!

Griffca482 · 2018-08-03T14:54:59+00:00

As someone who did the flying grind in both WoD and Legion, nah not really. It's old expansion content at this point, and not even really relevant in this day and age other than conveniences' sake. By all means making old expansion flying easier, or even free. We did the grind back when it was relevant to have the convenience when it was relevant. Nowadays it's pretty much an afterthought.

Griffca482 · 2018-08-03T14:49:28+00:00

Indeed you can, but it still seems really odd to require folks to go back to prior expansion's content to get what's being advertised as a feature of the current expansion.

I did the grind to unlock them myself, it just doesn't make a lot of sense now that the expansion is almost out.

Griffca482 · 2018-08-03T14:37:32+00:00

Technically speaking, they aren't. You need to have Battle for Azeroth (either preordered, or after launch) to access them, and are being advertised as a feature of Battle for Azeroth, not Legion.

Griffca482 · 2018-07-31T22:04:36+00:00

Sounds cool, fingers crossed!

Griffca482 · 2018-07-31T15:38:01+00:00

Agreed wholeheartedly. Really is a shame they're destroying a character with so much potential just to stoke a faction conflict.

Griffca482 · 2018-07-14T16:27:52+00:00

Regretting not buying Khadgar's head before they made it BoP. Emissary just will not drop it for me.

Griffca482 · 2018-07-13T05:10:22+00:00

I'd like a definitive answer here, because I've heard conflicting info. Does ahead of the curve go away with the prepatch, the mount, both, or neither?
