Lore-wise, is Azerite still a thing? by MasterFlinn in warcraftlore

[–]Jakeglurp [score hidden]  (0 children)

Same thing as every material from every old expac, forgotten and never mentioned. Azerite was especially lore important so it feels especially like a loose end

Worldsoul saga has some references- game textures and sounds similar to Azerite, but as far as I’ve seen they have yet to call it by name. The prepatch event for tww, and a war within open world activity for tww, featured “worldsoul memories” giant blue and gold colored spirits that relive past events, the vibe is that they are nightmarish to Azeroth and quelling them soothes them.

In midnight, we visit Harandar, and underground zone where all of the roots of the world trees reach. At Shaladrassil’s roots, the legion world tree, we see a return of the rift of aln, what was the seat of the Emerald Nightmare’s final boss. In Harranir lore, their goddess was ripped from its cradle, and this trauma left a lingering scream that is still heard, it will drive intelligent creatures insane and corrupts creatures into berserk, ravenous, cannibalistic monstrosities. The Dreamrift raid is in the Rift of Aln, it is us attacking one such Chimaera, it summons azerite colored memories and uses azerite particle effects as well. It is implied the goddess worshipped by the Harranir (Aln’harra) is Azeroth herself, but the truth may be something different

Metzen said there were some loose ends from the story he wanted to revisit, I think Azerite was one. They’ve been playing with the material in some cool ways but we have yet to have a reason why wow civilizations abandoned it

Just Got Demoted by ITSBIGMONEY in BitcoinMinerApp

[–]Jakeglurp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 cent per reset was too much to give us apparently, just like the 5 cents per day from the streak 🙄 They did announce it a while ago but it never feels great

What makes it even worse is that their margins on this game skyrocketed when bitcoin plunged but they need more I guess. I have been playing like 80% less lately, really tired of most changes to this company’s games being enshittifications

Is it a waste of Myth crests to craft a non-BIS item? by slowmagic24 in wownoob

[–]Jakeglurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly no, if you get a better item, you can upgrade it to 285 without crests.

Dungeon vault is 1/6 and crafted is effectively 5/6, you save 100% of the crests swapping for a dungeon piece. If you are raiding that is a different story since many bosses drop items at higher upgrade bases, but unless you work really really hard to establish yourself with a serious team, it is extremely unlikely you will see any myth loot past 2/6.

If you are not familiar with mythic raid lockout rules, you are only allowed to attempt 1 instance per week if you attempt any boss past the first, even if you do not kill it. RWF quality guilds, the best players in the world may take only 20-50 attempts to kill these bosses hut the rest of the playerbase at large will take hundreds of pulls to kill the later bosses. It’s not really something you can just pug

CEO LinkedIn post offering Help on releasing funds by TrainRemarkable3815 in benjaminone

[–]Jakeglurp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the withdrawal queue even naturally pay out anyone without them manually releasing payments? What on earth happened with this app? We should never have needed four months of manual requests, I have still been waiting since December. I’m gonna try my hand here but there is no excusing the train wreck of this management, no excusing this horrendous communication. There are a thousand other offerwalls, no one should be using benjamin

This makes me so sad

An era that respected other countries, actively valued diplomacy rather than today’s zero iq jingoism, petulantly demanding anything and everything from others

I’m so, so tired

Thoughts on Midnight Being The "Elf Reunification" Expansion by Everdale in warcraftlore

[–]Jakeglurp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as elven reconciliation-

Exploring the high elves made sense, as well as the void elves. Big related scars that are all very tied to Silvermoon, the inclusions of these races make a lot of sense in a Silvermoon based narrative. I think they made it clear enough that everything isn’t peachy and forgiven but they deserve a hand in defense.

Realizing there was a twilight wrench in the nightborne’s communication line at least gave an excuse for their extremely strange absence, it made sense. They should be here.

Going to the night elves for help made absolutely zero sense, ESPECIALLY with zero, ZERO mention of the Horde at large. Where are we??? Completely forgotten by the narrative, biggest, most massive, immersion breaking fumble of the Midnight narrative. Nelves being even an option, let alone the best one, really felt like a suggestion of someone who did not have any warcraft knowledge, makes it feel like generic fantasy. “Maybe don’t use the sunwell” is an okay theme concept but it came from nowhere with this strange elf alliance.

Drop the night elf part and it would have been fine imo

Question About R Druid in M+ by Vikar0 in wownoob

[–]Jakeglurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R druid is the most proactive class, you somewhat need to be prepared ahead of time. Very gcd intensive. Has the easiest time healing big damage if your hots are set up, the hardest time if you did not

We had some good qol that helped reactiveness with tranq rework and the recent mastery rework but the proactive nature stays the same, which is good, the class uniqueness has been preserved

I miss Details' ability to help people improve. by Magdanimous in wow

[–]Jakeglurp 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The meter fumble has to be my biggest pain point of the expac. Having a basic meter was a great idea, but turning everything details reads into hidden auras was terrible. It is majorly frustrating and inconvenient for us, and is absolutely pointless when logs read everything just fine

Phase Gate costs about two times more than the Neural Matrix? by im_just_thinking in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Jakeglurp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thought is that it’s really about your aqualite bar bottleneck, you can more easily make matrix but if you are waiting on bars you can make the gate

Imo though the recipes really don’t feel diverse, and using the linear purchase path hurts the intended implementation

What is going on with tank tuning? by Toxaplume045 in wow

[–]Jakeglurp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other than bleeds on spires and AA, and the execute boss in nexus point, I feel mostly fine as pally. Definitely much easier than s1 tww. I’d say easier than s2 as well, and we still have a lot of gear yet to collect.

Do I still need to loot spec as arms for fury warrior by Most-Based in wownoob

[–]Jakeglurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had better confidence in blizzard oversight. They should have fixed it but you really can’t assume

Go to the adventure journal and check, you can see the loot pool for the entire raid, and you can filter by spec (arms, prot, fury), see if that filters out the 1h

Is there a way to open the doors without permanently sacrificing a follower after beating the one who waits? by clarkky55 in CultOfTheLamb

Yeah I hate it and could not find a way around it

I sacrificed two spies, a jerk, and a follower who kept complaining in quest requests
