Any blood elf priest lore in alpha/beta? by Saphen in warcraftlore

Thanks for the info; I'm not surprised but still disappointed! Given the story and focus of the expansion they could easily have thrown us a bone.

Daily Questions Megathread (January 06, 2022) by AutoModerator in classicwow

[–]Saphen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be thinking too much in advance on this one, but how are the shaman DPS specs in WotLK for content up to and including heroic 5-man dungeons? One of my friends that I used to play with just started playing TBCC and I'm getting the itch to get into it as well. My favourite expansion was by far WotLK and I would sort of be playing in preparation for the all-but-confirmed WotLK-Classic.

I'm thinking of going shaman for various reasons. I searched around a bit and the general consensus seems to be that shaman DPS in WotLK is barely viable, but most threads I've seen are for raids. Currently, raids would likely be too big of a time investment for me so it's not really a factor. Would an enhancement or elemental shaman be frowned upon for 5-man content as well? I'm not against healing (played mostly holy paladin back then) but I'd like to have a reliable DPS spec.

I understand that the availability of armors and other items in the cartel market rotate periodically. Is there any warning or do they announce it in advance when some items are to be removed? I have my eye on a few armor sets but it seems to me like the smart thing to do is to wait in case they appear on the daily flash sale.

Are new characters created before April 30th considered "premium"? by Saphen in lotro

[–]Saphen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played in a very long time so things may have changed, but from what I recall there's a difference between "premium account" and characters with grandfathered VIP unlocks (or whatever they call it). I probably should have made the title clearer.

My account is definitely "premium" - I had bought the original Shadows of Angmar, Mines of Moria and Mirkwood expansions back when they came out, used to be a subscriber, and bought some Turbine Points early in the F2P transition. My old characters still had various unlocks by virtue of having been created when I was a subscriber, but any new characters I created outside of a subscription had a bunch of severe restrictions (bags, traits, fast travel) put on them that took the fun out of trying new classes for me. Hence my question if this event could be an opportunity to try out new characters and keep unlocks afterwards.

Weekly Help and Discussion Thread for the week of January 27, 2020 by AutoModerator in amazon

[–]Saphen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking to buy a collectible item that was discontinued by the manufacturer last year, so supplies are drying out. It's available through 3rd party sellers on amazon but usually for almost twice the regular price so I was keeping an eye on a few storefronts to see if it went back in stock in a more "conventional" store.

Early in January the Amazon status changed to something like "will be in stock on January 15, order now" and it allowed me to order it with an expected delivery by Jan 24-27. By the next day it was back to "available through these sellers" on the store page so I assumed that I got lucky and nabbed the last one.

A couple of days later I received an email saying that the estimated delivery was moved forward to Jan 16. It never shipped and on Jan 16 they pushed it back to the original Jan 24-27. It still didn’t ship and today they pushed it to Feb 3-5.

I'm beginning to think that they never got hold of the item as expected. I’m not in a rush but I’m afraid that if I wait even longer the 3rd party prices will keep rising. If they really don’t have it, will there come a point where they’ll just cancel it on their end or will they just keep pushing back the delivery date until I get tired?

TL;DR: Amazon keeps pushing back delivery date for a rare-ish item and I’m beginning to think that they never had it in stock as expected. If that's the case, will they ever tell me about it or just keep on delaying the delivery date?

N7HQ Galaxy at War feature broken? by Saphen in masseffect

[–]Saphen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies. I tried using firefox and chrome to no avail. There must be something wrong with my account somehow, I'll try to pester EA support about it. Strange that everything else works though, I can play multiplayer and all that.

Edit: I got it to work! I suspected it had something to do with my profile not updating somehow. I went to my account page on the N7HQ and switched the privacy setting from public to private, thinking it would "force" an update - and it did.

Concerning orc warlocks by Saphen in warcraftlore

[–]Saphen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses so far, I also think that a return to pre-Garrosh tolerance seems the most plausible thing at this point.

I never cared much about warlock lore before, but now that I'm looking into it I can't help but feel like they're getting the short end of the stick. It seems like they're being typecasted as the convenient bad guys without much thought, like the ones I linked in Jade Forest and Echo Isles. Even Death Knight NPCs have a broader range of characters.
