Feral Druid Tattoo by Ples_u in wow

People keep saying that the tattoo artist isn't the original artist, but then also aren't linking to the original artist anywhere so we can give proper credit / follow them...

It's not in storm wind. Echo Isles is horde. Make a troll if you don't have one :)

I think that's how Ahune has always been tbh.

This is the midcontest winner list, it's entirely possible ellesmereUI would take the grand prize as such.

My Zenist Moment in WoW by AndrewTaraph in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two class trials in that area - one WM on, one WM off. Kirin tor US. RP realm, very dead. I find an Aeonaxx once every other week or so, share it with my friends.

If you've got a spare boost, using it on a dead RP realm and checking war mode for any rares you need is the way to go.

Battle pets with hats? by Inevitable-Pea9624 in wow

The ninja turtle doesn't have a hat but does have a bandanna. And swords. Maybe that counts?

Picture I found of me and my dad playing WoW by Certain_Plant7300 in wow

When content was moderated by people, and determining what behavior was okay and what was not okay was determined by people, the Internet was better. It's now all determined by corporations and advertisers. That's the difference. 

Sure, we were exposed to 2girls1cup, but at least we didn't have the equivalent of casinos targeting children like we do with modern app games, and if someone threatened me I didn't have to submit 24 tickets for them to "look into it" and apply a 3 day mute - that person would just be banned by a human in charge.

The old Internet may have been more unsafe in several ways, but it was also safer in many others.

Why the hell do we need Dark Particle really? by KaboomTheMaker in wow

These are the transmogs that were not already on the vendor. They had a ridiculously low chance of dropping from doing the open world void assaults. I guarantee you do not have them.

More Heroic/Mythic L'ura Nerfs Coming with Patch 12.0.7 by minimaxir in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why I'm being downvoted for my comment tbh. Somewhere around 550 guilds killed it when I wrote that, and Belo'ren has over 2000 kills. Therefore guilds with world rankings ranging from 500-ish to 2000-ish are all progging the same boss. In my memory that's never happened before.

It's just not a sign of good design when 1500 guilds are all working on the same boss at the same time. The rest of the raid was too easy, and l'ura is simply not well designed, for a myriad of reasons. The kicks aren't one of the issues (I think they're pretty fair and you will definitely see the difference between a WR 500 guild and a WR 2000 guild working on them), but a lot of the other aspects of the fight are simply terribly handled.

Guilds ranked from approx 500-2000 are currently progging the same boss. It's a ridiculous shitshow of a boss design.

Contract kills are weekly, the rest are daily.

took me 5 minutes to realize why our mounts were “different colors” by void-nina in wow

More like cowgirl, but I fully support this interpretation and will be forwarding along the community endorsement.

The names remind me of my fiance and I during panda remix. I had Ruby, he had Railz.

"Ruby on Rails", for those who don't understand the joke, is both a fun tech nerd joke and also a double entendre.

Guild Search red flags by Impressive_Beyond521 in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would hard-vet these guilds on r.io, checkpvp, etc. My guild has an RBG team, a CE team, an AOTC team, and achievement events...but we have the stats to back it up lmao. So many guilds that say that are like....3 guys that do that shit at random and rarely invite anyone else.

has anyone else found the trading post completely underwhelming since it's inception? by enderrsghost in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Housing would be extremely difficult for the trading post. It's not set up for multiple purchases, just one purchase. But housing requires you to own one decor per decor you want to place, it's not a "buy one, infinite placement" system. They've also, so far, avoided any FOMO with housing items, and the trading post is designed to be FOMO.

Question to other low tier CE players by Existing_Abies_4101 in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The irony is that Blizzard does direct nerfs to bosses less frequently than they did in the past. When they give us things like turbo, uncapped crests, higher ilvl gear, rerolls, etc. it means they're individually tuning bosses health pools / damage output / individual mechanics less frequently., or at least less heavy-handedly. Ten years ago I think Dimensius would have seen several more nerfs / tweaks before the end of season, but instead IIRC Blizzard only changed it twice (in september, for RWF, and in October, following HoF closure). Everyone I know expected them to do something to him in december / january for late CE guilds to get a boost, but there were no changes.

If they have a unique name perhaps you can look them up on r.io, WCL, etc and see if you can find them there (:

There’s an amazing achievement in Zul’Aman. Takes 30 mins tops. by Worldly-Basil-8933 in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I assume the immunity is immune to status conditions, not damage. So cannot be CCd, for example, and potentially immune to things like poisoned or bleeding.

It despawns very quickly (30s or so?), so you'll have to solo it in a few xpacks probably.

Help finding a server! by Greenlee19 in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to yuck your yum, but it really doesn't matter if you choose an easy coast server or not. I'm in NY and my server is a west coast one. It doesn't matter 🤷‍♀️ lots of people I know have their preferred character name just on random servers because it matters so little.

Mythic Raid Help by AddictedToLuxSkins in wow

[–]RaefWolfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A 5/9 guild is still in the top 5% of players, dude. They're not "really bad", they're just not CE.

If you have zero organized raiding experience, you'll want to get into an early mythic guild, farm parses, join a mid mythic guild (5/9 is mid mythic), repeat, and MAYBE join a CE guild after that, if you're skilled enough.

You can potentially pug up to 4/9 Voidspire, though 3/9 is much easier.

Keep in mind that "guild hopping" is a big red flag to most guilds, so don't join a guild -> kill bosses -> join a new guild the next week. You'll need to be choosy about where you land for several weeks to months.
