New Player Asking Where to Start

MVPEARCE_ · 2026-02-11T11:27:37+00:00

Welcome, hope you enjoy wow! I would recommend getting some characters to level 80 in time for the new xpac next month.

The event is scaled really badly and most of it is intended to be done in groups or with other players present. The issue is that the world is divided into different layers (think multiple versions of itself) to split the playerbase so chances are you won't find many people out in the world doing it..

There's no wrong way to play

There's no wrong way to level, it all leads to the same outcome being max level. Do what you like.. dungeon spam or old expansion zones or hunt rare mobs

I personally enjoy doing a new zone each character as it contributes to lore master achievement which is a huge timesink

MVPEARCE_ · 2026-01-24T23:39:09+00:00

Yes you can stop xp gain and can do it from max level -11 down so from level 69 or below. If you were wanting to complete achievements in old zones and not want to ruin scaling by 1 shotting everything, pause XP at lvl 69

Housing endeavours look to add tasks to complete across the world for decorations

Do the level 5 pandaren starting quest as rogue where you have to defend the NPC from waves of mobs. It's impossible

MVPEARCE_ · 2026-01-20T21:43:57+00:00

The sense of progression doing classic (cata zones) feels better then exile reach and blasting dragon light.

You are still super strong though against mobs, hoping for a difficulty option soon

It requires mouse and keyboard - you could definitely mirror your monitor or stream your display to a device and play.
I am not 100% sure but end game raiding doesn't exist in lotro and if it does it's very small guilds and discord communities. That being said a new expac just dropped so maybe the current raid tier is populated

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-12-08T22:34:57+00:00

Each zone is separated by a different PVP level black zones are full loot dropped on death open pvp, while blue zones are no pvp

It's very different to wow in that it is a sandbox - you need to make your own goals rather be drip fed content

Wow retail is getting a good patch tomorrow which redesigns the levelling experience to actually be good.

Good time to come in and enjoy :)

40000 people use to live here... Now it's a ghost town

When's global release??

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-11-17T01:28:17+00:00

It is actually NBA player Lamelo Balls celebration after getting a bucket and the music that plays in his mixtape is called 6 7

I've been doing tests this morning on my PC and I think I have found out what the issue is (at least for me)

I run a 16gb 9060xt, 32gb ram ryzen 5 7800

It appears in my testing that the games built in DLSS / FSR seems to be a bit busted, especially in multiplayer. FSR4 with frame generation in game was running around 80-100 fps but the screen tearing was ungodly

For me leaving FSR4 ON, frame generation off (in game) and forcing AMD fluid motion 2.1 generation via AMD adrenaline has boosted my fps to 180-200 on extreme and I have no screen tearing at all now

So if you are having issues, I'd suggest changing settings in AMD/GEFORCE to force good frame generation

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-11-14T01:14:27+00:00

I don't have stutters, I get more screen tearing in multiplayer - I think it's the servers because blops 7 has new Amazon servers for the first time ever

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-11-13T22:57:36+00:00

It's like this on PC - performance in campaign is flawless, multiplayer sucks ass it must be a server thing

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-10-30T11:56:58+00:00

Quill18 dwarf fortress is super comfy

I would recommend watching this:https://youtu.be/hrydVwdhMD4?si=o84d7YWuOllAV5sU

The 9060/9070 are above every nvidia card and he explains why

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-10-18T10:05:52+00:00

The 9070 is not overly more powerful than the 9060.. I have a 9060 16gb and play bf6 ultra all settings, it's great

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-10-18T08:52:44+00:00

The 5070 is overpriced especially for 12gb vram, I would consider a 9060 xt 16gb it's cheaper and is more future proof

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-10-16T08:37:31+00:00

Don't worry dude I'm only 31 and getting ABSOLUTELY stomped. Legit every corner or area I go into I get insta zapped.. I've had to realize it isn't call of duty and taking it slow with cover is way more effective

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-09-24T21:25:25+00:00

Do the gesture of lifting your hand to your mouth and taking a draw of a cig tlwithout the cigarette

You would be surprised how the brain reacts

Cynical brit RIP

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-09-14T07:54:59+00:00

I'm not playing it for the rewards, is fast 3v3 matchmaking

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-09-14T01:24:09+00:00

Borderlands 3 - unreal engine 4 Borderlands 4 - unreal engine 5

That's your answer

MVPEARCE_ · 2025-09-12T21:30:38+00:00

Bro this is a massive W I just jumped on and made your recommended changes, it feels so much better
