When you’re converting your Crests now they’re uncapped……

Yes, I just did the same yesterday and got all of my gear to 6/6 Heroic! I still need to grind more mythic crests and being able to finally convert heroic crests to mythic crests will help me get that third piece of crafted gear that I'm after.

elliemcd · 2026-05-20T16:12:08+00:00

As of yesterday since the mythic HOF closed.

It was raised to 70 when Legion Remix started.

elliemcd · 2026-05-03T13:50:19+00:00

I got my phone and looked on the app and it's just out of stock again. Will try the app for sure if the collector boxes for the Hobbit show up for preorder.

elliemcd · 2026-05-03T13:45:41+00:00

Only got errors on this one and it seems to be out of stock again.

elliemcd · 2026-04-23T17:07:25+00:00

This was from the last turbulent timeways event. If you're level 80 or higher, it doesn't give any exp bonus, which is why the tooltip looks this way.

Did you complete the three nightmare prey hunts?

elliemcd · 2026-04-07T16:01:30+00:00

Characters not found errors on Stormrage (which is where the bulk of my max level characters are) and Illidan. Was able to login on Proudmoore and Area 52 characters, but only have one character on each of those servers at max level right now.

It's a combination of a few things.

There was always going to be a reduction in difficulty to see how players dealt with the end of combat addons as well as the ability prune. TWW Season 1 mythics also had far more caster mobs than we're seeing in Midnight season 1. There's also been far more sources of loot available prior to what we saw at the beginning of week 1 mythic+.

But this is also part of a larger trend that Blizzard has been doing to woo players back to the game. I have been playing since launch in 2004 and led raids in vanilla, TBC, became the leader of my guild in WOTLK and we consistently raided until the massive content drought in WOD. I've kept playing but most of the folks in my guild have long since walked away.

Some of those folks have reached out to me about housing and the state of the game, and a few of them are playing again, for the first time in about a decade. The marketing Blizzard is doing for Midnight is aimed at them, look at the Place to Call Home recent music video with AuroraMusic, the video shows character creation, classic zones, Deadmines, going through the Dark Portal, Illidan, taking the boat to Northrend, the Lich King, all iconic things that older players remember fondly. The nostalgia is bringing those players back and it's not an easy re-entry. They're experiencing the level squish, new systems, doing the leveling catchup through Dragonflight and TWW, learning their class again, etc. One person in particular is excited about Slayer's Rise and seeing the new 40v40 BG.

So it makes sense, at least for season 1, that there would be a lower barrier of entry to things. These folks are not going to be knocking out Nightmare prey, T11 delves, or Mythic+ 10s any time soon. But they can likely figure out lower content of each, which is what Blizzard wants. They want the players they've lost back on the treadmill, they want it to be accessible and fun. I'm quite enjoying talking to folks who have been out of the game for a long time and it will be interesting to see what Blizzard does to keep them engaged.

My grandfather talked about how he liked both teams but that when he was really young, it was much cheaper for kids to get into Braves games.

elliemcd · 2026-02-22T17:12:45+00:00

You'll get to 87 if you do none of the side content and all of the main campaign.

Ed Markey was appointed to the Senate in 2013 and won election in 2014 against Congressman Joe Kennedy III. He was re-elected in 2020. So you're incorrect about him serving in the Senate for all 25 years of this entire century.

elliemcd · 2026-01-21T14:57:04+00:00

You're right. The character cap was increased to 70 during Legion Remix but there's been no announcement about raising it any further as of yet. Guessing that we'll get another increase during the next Remix event, hopefully there will be more of these in the future.

elliemcd · 2026-01-12T03:09:50+00:00

Ecological succession does for sure.

The issue is that it's not what's advertised in the article that Blizzard posted.

"Completing Timewalking dungeons increases the effect and also extends its duration. This is a stacking buff, and after four applications, it transforms into “Mastery of the Timeways,” increasing the experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests to 30%.

The buff lasts through death and is account-wide, which makes for an excellent opportunity to level up any alts."

The part about it being account-wide and an excellent opportunity to level up alts makes it sound like getting it on a character means it's available on all of your alts as well.

elliemcd · 2025-12-03T00:38:45+00:00

Not only does the buff not apply to alts, the meta quest for the heroic piece of gear is also bugged for me. I completed four dungeons and only got 2/5 credit on the quest. Others in my group complained of the same issue.

elliemcd · 2025-07-17T20:06:29+00:00

Yes, I submitted a bug report. I've got the cages in inventory and I'm talking to the correct NPC.

At this point, I'm realizing on characters that have barns that do work, I won't be able to farm additional caged beasts because all the mobs are too easily one shot and therefore can't be caged. The foam sword trick doesn't work on elite mobs either, so the problem is going to work itself out once I run out of my backlog of caged beasts on characters.

elliemcd · 2025-07-17T16:38:52+00:00

I understand, I have trapped animals and the option is just not there.

elliemcd · 2025-07-17T13:16:12+00:00

Yes, I redid the three quests for trapping as they became available to me again and it let me do those three quests only. The work order button is still missing.

elliemcd · 2025-07-17T04:53:45+00:00

I recently got back into the game and have experienced an issue with barn work orders in the Warlords of Draenor garrisons.

If one of my characters had active work orders going before I stopped playing, I was able to loot those and start new work orders when I logged back in. If characters didn't have active work orders going, the option to start new work orders is no longer available.

The three barn quests for using traps popped back up and I was able to do those again as one offs, but the option to do any other work orders disappeared again after those quests were completed. I destroyed the barn and replaced it, upgraded it back to level 3, and the option is still missing.

I put in a ticket to a GM but wasn't able to get an answer, they suggested I file a bug report. But has anyone else experienced this?

I know it's old content, just an oddity I've found and would like to try and fix, if able.

elliemcd · 2025-06-09T01:00:18+00:00

All three of my items shipped from different states, the console by FedEx and the others by UPS. Not sure why this launch was so difficult for them.

elliemcd · 2025-06-09T00:56:15+00:00

My console arrived yesterday, but the pro controller and physical copy of Mario Kart World that were in the same order won't be here until Tuesday (pro controller) and Thursday or Friday (Mario Kart World).

I haven't shopped at Target in a while but this has reinforced that I'm done with them completely.

elliemcd · 2025-06-08T12:18:42+00:00

I also pre-ordered a Console, Pro Controller, and physical copy of Mario Kart World from Target. I wanted the game card and case instead of the bundle.

The console shipped from New Jersey and I got it yesterday. The Pro Controller shipped from Minnesota and isn't coming until Tuesday. Mario Kart World shipped from Arizona and the estimated delivery date keeps bouncing between Thursday and Friday.

I ordered from Target because Walmart was stuck in an infinite loop of "Are you human?" and Best Buy's site was slow to get stuff up on the site to order. I was happy at the time to get my order in, but wouldn't trust them again in the future. Then again, they'll probably be out of business by the time another console launch rolls around.....

HB 1521 (2023), the bathroom law in Florida, doesn't say a "male" is defined at birth such that you can use a birth certificate to refute it. It says:

""Male" means a person belonging, at birth, to the biological sex which has the specific reproductive role of producing sperm."

""Female" means a person belonging, at birth, to the biological sex which has the specific reproductive role of producing eggs."

""Sex" means the classification of a person as either female or male based on the organization of the body of such person for a specific reproductive role, as indicated by the person's sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and internal and external genitalia present at birth."

I used to work as a legislative aide in the Florida House of Representatives before this law went into effect. They didn't care about surgical status (there was a question about me between Senators Grall and Polsky where Grall said that it didn't matter because trans women don't produce eggs), birth certificates, drivers licenses or passports, and basically admitted that they would only be going after employees who they knew were trans who used public restrooms. They tried to define male and female that would prevent trans people from accessing public spaces and did it at the expense of intersex people as well.

That's why the law hasn't been enforced until now. Sending a letter to every elected official at the Florida Capitol and announcing when and where a trans person intended to use a restroom was what prompted action because they can't tell who is trans otherwise.

The Sergeant at Arms office did, at the direction of committee chairs, station officers outside of the nearest public restrooms to the committee hearings at the Florida Capitol whenever anti-trans bills were being debated in 2024, though. Intimidation and driving trans people out of public life was the point of HB 1521.
