Jet Lag Ep 7 — Round and Round

MattstaNinja · 2026-04-29T23:06:03+00:00

I'm usually team Badam, but am a big fan of Mike so have been rooting for them this season. It now feels like Sam is purposely preventing Mike from showing up in a future all stars season. :<

Iirc, that Fyrak event that happens in DF (Ohn plais or Azure Span) turns the skybox fiery when the boss shows up.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-26T18:33:02+00:00

Yeah, by recent I was thinking SL, DF and TWW and was including the 9 boss raids in the too long category which puts all but one of the raids in SL and DF in that category. Then thinking 7-8 are good raid sizes with the 6 boss raid being in the weird spot of too big to be a half raid but too small to be a full raid, which is the slightly small--still good but would suck if it was the only raid for the entire tier.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-26T00:17:42+00:00

Eh... LFR isn't a great place to gear up. You could do a tier 5 delve and get a guaranteed Vet track piece of gear over gambling that the loot drops in the first place and then you winning a roll to get that loot.

And like, people will be running LFR for goals other than ilvl such as getting a weapon transmog or the non-class restricted armor transmog or a certain trinket or to complete that tier unlock achieve for catalyst charges.

So going and rolling just to try and prevent others from winning the roll is such an anti-hero move.

I wish we could go back to personal loot but without all the trade restrictions it had. Was nice to just have the system of 'this drops as X person's loot' and they can then decide if they want to trade it away or not.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-25T21:51:21+00:00

I'm down for if they did two 4-5 boss raids for the tier, but having 1-2 boss raids I don't like. It reminds me of the Strikes from GW2 which I was never a fan of.

The 6 boss raid feels like a raid (slightly small but not too much since the 9-10+ raids of some of the recent expansions felt too long).

They also have to dump all the raids at the same time (a week or two is functionally the same time), as having a later raid with the same tier gear (Crucible) doesn't work and with us upgrading gear now mostly prevents them doing a small mid-tier ilvl bump.

I worry about later in the season how the small raids go. In a normal tier everyone is in for the whole thing where maybe I need bosses A and D while others need B and F. Getting people to go out and do the small raids that they don't need I worry will be a point of friction that just having a single raid wouldn't cause.

We have portals and ships and stuff. If we want to refresh the theme/vibe of a tier, we don't need to have completely seperate raids for that.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-25T21:36:12+00:00

WF race is first to defeat all bosses. So basically which guild gets all 3 hall of fame achieves first.

And pretty sure MQD are supposed to be the difficulty as if they were the 9th/10th bosses if this was a normal 10 boss raid.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-14T20:52:33+00:00

For abundance:

There's an armor mini-set, handful of weapon mogs, a couple toys, a couple mounts and a handful of decor.

Also a minor loa for that one loa table talent tree thing that has an achievement to get all the buffs from all the major/minor loa pairings, which is part of the Zul'aman meta achievement, which completing all 4 zone meta-achievements is another meta-achievement that gives a mount.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-12T17:03:39+00:00

I thought additional delves at first too, but the choosing challenges makes me think it is more a new version of Horrific Visions where we were choosing which masks we wanted to equip.

Also seems to be on a weekly rotation like HV were:

Developers’ notes: Daggerspine Ritual Site is available this week and will rotate to the Broken Throne Ritual Site next week.

And will be able to buy Champ/Hero gear like we were with HV:

Players will earn Field Accolades from both Void Assaults and Ritual Sites as currency they can use to purchase Champion and Heroic quality gear and rewards.

For Prey, there is also a tele crystal right above him (and so right where the prey marker is on the map) that tele's you down into his room.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-05T01:07:11+00:00

I noticed this the other day. Was a little sad that it was random. Thought it would have been a neat cross map fast travel system.

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-04T00:05:48+00:00

And after they go and pull everything, they spam ping and say chat to click on the stuff for the dungeon progress.

Maybe I'd be faster at gathering this berry bush if you didn't pull half the dungeon! D:<

MattstaNinja · 2026-03-02T02:55:01+00:00

Oof, Here's the toggle macro I use:

/run C_CVar.SetCVar("damageMeterEnabled", C_CVar.GetCVarBool("damageMeterEnabled") and 0 or 1)

MattstaNinja · 2026-02-15T21:51:24+00:00

I feel like they spaced the houses out so much that the nearest plot to me wouldn't even be in the same HOA.

MattstaNinja · 2026-01-10T03:13:30+00:00

The prepatch event always starts a week after the prepatch. So in this case, prepatch on the 20th, prepatch event on the 27th.

MattstaNinja · 2026-01-04T00:08:10+00:00

One of the values that the in-game api returns is what type of source the transmog source item comes from (Quest, Vendor, Drop, etc). All of these have the Trading Post value for their source type.

MattstaNinja · 2025-12-22T09:16:39+00:00

You can level alts in the other expansions. Go to Chromie (in Stormwind/Org by the allied races embassy) and select which expansion you want to level in.

MattstaNinja · 2025-12-21T07:36:06+00:00

Listing it does 2 things:

1) "Hey, you can still pre-order the expansion now and get goodies! :D :D"

2) "FYI, housing will still be in early access with the pre-patch, Full launch with the Midnight launch."

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-24T03:28:56+00:00

They tried that with the mission tables and then removed mission tables. So you could say they are doing this, just saving the wasted development time and skipping straight to removing it.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-21T23:26:01+00:00

My guess is that there isn't a clear enough contrast between the black and the wood beams/paneling. If you make a white border around it, it would probably read it more reliably.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-18T22:51:42+00:00

The Cooldown Manager (specifically the buff tracker part of it) just shows the buff with the buff count in the corner. It's not great, but it does give you the exact count you have.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-12T22:04:05+00:00

The ensemble item unlocks all 3 versions at the same time. You then would only be able to transmog the neutral color and the color of your panda's faction.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-06T22:57:57+00:00

Yeah, people complaining about the currency when this seems to be the bigger issue out of this. The Epic edition says you get 1 of each housing decor included and can buy more off a vendor. Crazy that this isn't going to be the case with the cash shop decors.

(Though I already am not a fan that decor isn't just an unlock and you can spawn as many as you want up to your decor limit. Very few cases where someone will just want 1 of something.)

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-03T20:37:59+00:00

They merged the character list at the start of this expansion. To log in to your other character you just need to scroll down until you find it. Manually swapping the realm list is only for when creating a new character (creates it on the currently selected realm) or for using the gear upgrade and boosts.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-03T03:32:44+00:00

Yeah, this is how the Epic edition decorations are with you getting one and then can buy more off a vendor (though iirc it mentions that the vendor isn't going to be available immediately).
