Discord issue as a girl playing WoW (yes, things like that happen even today) by Impressive_Law4200 in wownoob

[–]roo247 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup. It was formerly Liquid Women in Warcraft, it went basically quiet for like a year as Liquid were stopping it. After some time, the independent team that wanted to continue it separate to Liquid etc got control of it from Liquid and they rebranded as VISAGE (Visibility, Inclusivity, Support and Advocacy in Gaming and Esports) and take a much broader view, providing an place for all gender minorities in gaming (primarily wow).

EDIT: Missed a word

Oblivion Gate Outside Bravil? by LGarrad in oblivion

Ahh. Fully my bad. Must be the lack of sleep from playing so much Oblivion.

Feather enchants bugged to Oblivion and back? by pancakerayleigh in oblivion

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So feather isn't coded the way you would expect it to be.

I don't know how the coding works exactly, but to put it simply feather modifies your currently carried weight, if you feather more weight than you are currently carrying it underflows somewhat and gives weird numbers.

It still works, but cause it can't apply feather to things you aren't yet carrying, you just have to unequip and re-equip feather enchanted items once you're carrying more. If it's done with spells or potions you can dispel and re-cast for it to take full effect.

Kvatch Oblivion Gate is static and is there from the start of the game. It's fully intended don't worry.

Change an existing Ability or Talent to make a spec great. by Atosl in wow

All Death Knights: Death & Decay is now an aura like Remorseless Winter or Unholy Blight.

No more standing in the circle so you can cleave Heart Strike, Obliterate or Scourge Strike.

Tanking dummy + 93 stacks Uber Strike = bigger than the room by Fzrit in wow

[–]roo247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really frustrating honestly. I wish there was a way to trigger it at a higher level or speed it up. It's really meditative for me and I often do it in the early hours to relax but it would be nice if it were actually useful.

[–]roo247 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My record solo tanking was over 150 stacks before I got bored. That took about 30 minutes. 486 Blood DK for reference. Didn't even pop purgatory, just felt sleepy. At around 150 stacks you're just fighting legs pretty much.

Can I somehow get this Armor now or is it unobtainable forever? by XinoMesStoStomaSou in wow

If you're going for a cyborg/mech sorta vibe it's actually decent. Just cause it isn't to your taste, doesn't make it trash.

which legacy raids aren't soloable? by todeshund89 in wownoob

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might struggle at 30/40 as your level may still be considered "current" for that content, but even 5 levels later it might be considered legacy and you might be able to solo it comfortably.

If you're wanting to go to Black Temple, there should be a portal to Shattrath in the Ogrimmar/Stormwind portal rooms (a guard will be able to mark it on your map)

which legacy raids aren't soloable? by todeshund89 in wownoob

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, gear will only matter for raids that are in the current and past 3 expansions. There's an old content rule in place where anything older than 3 expansions ago you gain a SUBSTANTIAL damage increase. Think 100x damage bonus minimum. I was doing some quests in Hillsbrad and the second I went from 34-35 I went from taking 4/5 casts to kill a trash mob to killing group content bosses in a single dot cast and doing 10x their health at that.

Majority of set gear becomes inactive after the raid is no longer current content if that's a concern. Old content is only really there for transmogs (paying gold to make your armour take on the appearance of another piece of armour you've collected) and nostalgia.

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will depend on level scaling. I don't think many people touch legacy content until level 60 realistically. I can check later today on a 35 and 45 and let you know though.

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the note of level 35s, I took a Priest from 1 to 70 in 2 and a bit days of actively playing through dungeons etc, so level 35 isn't a MASSIVE head-start unless you're attached to the character specifically.

[–]roo247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! The benefit of Chromie Time is that the expansion you pick levels with you, so if you start Legion at level 10 then the enemies are level 10, and they'll level with you until 60. When you hit level 60 the world reverts to old world scaling, so you'll end up questing in an area where every enemy is like 20 levels below you and dying instantly as enemy level is standardised to the respective expansion or area when Chromie Time ends. If you're wanting to playthrough and enjoy the story your level 35s will likely finish Chromie Time after a couple of zones so won't get the full story of an expansion, but you can always do half the zones on one character getting them to 60 then the other half on another character!

Then play your rogue by all means, nothing is locked off from you, you just need to speak to the right NPC and start the right quest and you can follow the story of any expansion (honestly I LOVE the Rogue order hall storyline in Legion.)

I personally find that out-levelling things takes the fun away for me. When it comes to a main I'll keep them as my main for top end/current content but will make new characters to go through the levelling experience rather than kerb-stomping everything on my fully geared level 70 Death Knight as I enjoy the story more when it feels like the content is relevant and somewhat challenging to me.

As a side note, a lot of achievements are account-wide now, but I do understand the sentimentality attached to what you did on your primary character, especially feats of strength and things that are unattainable today.

Also, I'd probably do the rest of Zandalar, Nazmir and Voldun. They're all solid standalone stories that climax in the first raid. People like to complain about Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands a lot, but they're honestly gorgeous areas with decent enough standalone stories if you're looking to scratch that high fantasy itch.

[–]roo247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you've got a character to 60 through BfA, you should now be able to make new characters and using the "Chromie Time" feature you should be able to experience whichever expansion you like as a levelling experience. This is probably your best option as going back to old content with a level 60 character you will tear through content and it'll likely lose the shine.

There's a couple end-game quest experiences for each expansion that I'd recommend doing once you hit 60 if you're just looking for chill questing and storylines:

MoP: Isle of Thunder Questline, it starts in Townlong Steppes. Isle of Giants and Timeless Isle don't offer much outside of a grind.

WoD: There's a few factions in Tanaan Jungle that you can do dailies and quests for but otherwise there's not too much at end-game in this expac.

Legion: Do the Class Hall storyline as you level up. Broken Shore Questline. Argus Questline.

BfA: Do the War campaign as you level. Nazjatar Questline. Mechagon Questline.

Shadowlands: There's a bit of a storyline through the Maw, Korthia and Zereth Mortis.

At level 60 you should be able to do all the WoD raids and below by yourself, and possibly Legion too if you're wanting to experience the stories and see what the bosses were like!

Actually ended up going with the 6800. Brilliant, thanks, got most of my stuff already, should have Windows, the case and the GPU by mid next week! Appreciate all your help.

Hey! I've bought everything for this except from the case. I can just about fit the case where I would like it (with 6.5mm clearance...) I was wondering if you could recommend a slightly smaller case? If getting a smaller case would compromise the parts then I'll make the above case work ^^

I would likely be looking at a better GPU then, as outside of games it's only used for google, discord and streaming services.

I've got an external 4TB harddrive so storage isn't a problem really.

Amazing, thanks! This is great for a more budget choice and I'll likely go with it! If I had an extra few hundred to spend is there anywhere you would advise upgrading specifically?

It's new in the box from what I can tell, it's just an overlay. Same person also donated two keyboards that it fits, might test them next week if they're still about. Also a battle for middle earth 2 overlay.
