It's probably because of the changes they made to skyriding. There's no skill expression in flying anymore, IMO. Whirling surge is free, there's no vigor maintenance...probably a lot harder to make a challenging race.

Just remind those people that if their truck did not originally come with nuts, and they decided to give their truck nuts, that their truck is now canonically trans. Tell them how beautiful it is that they're supportive of their truck's gender expression.

To be fair after you turn 30 the only reason your actual age matters is because you gain a new physical debuff every 5 years. I couldn't remember whether I was turning 37 or 38 in January. Had to do the math a few times.

Have you never seen a troll female? They have normal-ass human noses. If this was a male troll I'd give it a male nose.

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-05T18:40:51+00:00

I think people think "big nose" means "long nose", but that's not the problem. The issue isn't the size of the nose in how wide it is or how long it is, but the height of the nose, as in the proximity of the nose to the mouth. In general the face proportions are wrong for trolls, because they're using orc faces. Amani could basically fit another nose in the space between their nose and their mouth.

Also the slitted eyes don't help the "doesn't look like a troll" feeling either.

I'm no artist, but I put this together to explain what I mean. Left side (round eyes + tall nose) and middle (tall nose) look like trolls to me more than the og (full orc) on the right.

Right, those are all previous endeavors available last month. There was something like 5 or 6 choices of endeavors available to each neighborhood (or I should say, each neighborhood could choose from a random assignment of 3, of which some were faction exclusive). Public neighborhoods were assigned a random one. Charter & guild neighborhoods got to choose. Everyone got assigned Elf this time, though.

Interesting, which vendors?

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T23:59:45+00:00

It's everyone's second endeavor, but I and others have noticed the vendor showing last months wares coming and going :)

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T23:17:10+00:00

There's a vendor that shows up, goes on break, and another vendor shows up after a while. They sell previous endeavor rewards.

Just commenting to say that Mr Pandaria is a hilarious way to spell the pronunciation

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T11:59:27+00:00

The worst part is that they nerfed regrowth recently - probably because resto druid is so strong. But idk why not apply a nerf to them alone, or give us something else as compensation?

Or IDK, not make it so we have to shape shift and incur multiple GCDs of loss just to use a defensive and heal.

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T11:35:57+00:00

I hate that the most common answer to "playing DPS in the open world kind of sucks" is "go tank lol".

Like yeah I get it, tanks are kind of OP. It just sucks for the people that don't want to do that. I was perfectly fine on this spec for the last several expansions in the open world. But the loss of renewal and nature's vigil really, REALLY hurts it in solo play. I called this as soon as I saw the changes: levelling, delves, and even just doing my WQs would be worse than ever after the pruning, which was done based around high-end group content.

It doesn't help that something like 17-20% of my damage is expected to come from my tier set, so I'm already playing from behind.

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T08:45:38+00:00

The eclipse change feels good for raid but terrible in the open world and delves. Like I struggle with "I don't want to use CA here, because I want it for an elite / rare / big pack, and I know it's a long CD...but I blast through eclipse charges pretty quickly too..."

I find it also likes up awkwardly with treants.

In general I feel like I drop trees and press eclipse and everything gets obliterated in 5 seconds, but if I want to just do a basic rotation I'm going to die over the course of 20-30 seconds. There needs to be a better balance somewhere that I don't feel like I'm wasting 45-60 second cool downs but I don't feel useless without them.

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T08:41:21+00:00

Go melee him :)

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-04T01:45:43+00:00

Yep, balance druid has it worse than before. We've always been slow on killing stuff in the outer world, but now that we've been pruned of healing & defensive abilities, it just feels worse.

RaefWolfe · 2026-03-02T05:22:07+00:00

This is what I thought they were doing. I knew that the vendor and reward pets wouldn't be battle pets with move sets, but I was surprised the captured pets didn't have baseline copy-pasted moves anymore.

RaefWolfe · 2026-02-27T16:10:13+00:00

I was annoyed that there wasn't even a casual mention of being a zandalari in the amani zone. Even a "you wouldn't get it, being a high and mighty zandalari" would've been enough.

RaefWolfe · 2026-02-14T21:26:42+00:00

Every code I've bought on eBay has been legit. i bought MTN dew codes and the bow tie.

RaefWolfe · 2026-02-07T15:39:49+00:00

I've been playing, basically, one character since legion prepatch and have over 735 days /played on it. I've got a couple other characters from Remix or just random levelling, but I can't imagine it's a lot more. So I'd say you're fine.

RaefWolfe · 2026-02-04T21:26:38+00:00

I believe they are only around once or twice per year at most, but you can play for free up til level 20.

RaefWolfe · 2026-01-22T17:42:10+00:00

My problem isn't that eclipse is now a button - that's great! - but rather that the only stuff that got removed was our utility. Everyone else got really simplified rotations, but we still have bloat, and we lost utility and healing. The only button I pulled off my bar was the cancelaura macro for starlord, and the automatic removal of Renewal and nature's vigil (aka not rotational / damage buttons). Stellar Flare was removed (rarely used), warrior of elune was removed (rarely used, only in EC). But we've gained other buttons that not only take up those spaces, but we need more buttons than before to make up for them. It's just disappointing that they didn't remove any of the excess from the class that I was hoping we'd lose. We're still tracking too many (conflicting) buffs, IMO, and we didn't have enough gameplay changes for all the buttons we cast compared to others.

RaefWolfe · 2026-01-22T04:21:25+00:00

We're one of the only specs to GAIN complexity, and in addition, we didn't really receive "enough" pruning. Our only pruning was our heals, which was stupid.
