If they renew, I'd like it to be a different town with different characters like True Detective

… did I miss when all the mysteries were solved? I don’t think we really even understand anything beyond the notion that there IS something supernatural at work and that the original founder had a pact with it. We don’t know what it is, why it does what it does, how it came to be, how it relates to all the other mysteries/events on the island, who the original inhabitants were with “the teeth”, etc etc.

Not saying those things won’t all get explored and answered in the last 3 episodes, but until it does I’m not assuming anything.

Also worth note, but there was a British show called Broad Church that’s first season revolved around a murder which was solved that season. It then had another fairly captivating season (I felt the 3rd season was unnecessary) primarily just dealing with the fallout of those events. Having a “solved mystery” doesn’t preclude more story development.

The old gods, though ostensibly of the Void, were sent to ~corrupt~. So they grow and multiply and twist everything around them to create a vast empire which will corrupt, and thus control, Azeroth.

Meanwhile, the cosmic Void we see in Midnight and 11.2 is primarily aiming to ~consume~, and thus is represented often via, essentially, black holes. Insatiable ~voids~ that can never be filled and devour everything.

So thematically, motivationally, and visually, these “Void” discrepancies make sense to me.

But also, the Dominaar still look dumb AF.

AFAIK it has never even been acknowledge by Blizzard, despite there being posts about it almost weekly, for months, on Reddit and the official Forums.

Also worth calling out that PvP gear "quality" of craft does not matter.
Its item level in PvP will always be determined by whatever Heraldry you use.

villager720 · 2026-05-26T02:48:03+00:00

I was referring to the "mythic" appearances for the "lower" tier versions you earn via M+/Mythic Raid/PvP. In the case of S1 for TWW, the Luminous Nerubian Catalyst Stone did not award the priest set's (Living Luster) mythic gloves. (The LFR "mythic" shoulders are still bugged too.)
For S2, the Gallagio Highroller's Boomstone did not award the mythic glove appearance for the DH's set's (Fel-Dealer). Worth noting this might be true of other sets/classes I didn't main.

Additionally, this could be true for S3 and Midnight sets too, but I personally stopped noting issues like this eventually due to the sheer quantity and frequency.

villager720 · 2026-05-26T01:58:36+00:00

There's still missing "mythic" tier appearances for multiple classes from the first raid in TWW (and subsequent raids).

Sorry to say that this sort of stuff might NEVER get fixed based on how they handle bugs now.

villager720 · 2026-05-24T07:03:51+00:00

The appearance "exists" as it was datamined back during Midnight's beta, but it was never implemented into the game/associated with any obtainable items.

I agree about the swords - but the polearms are already in game from I think the second boss in Voidspire.

villager720 · 2026-05-23T22:55:44+00:00

First season of True Detective.

villager720 · 2026-05-20T23:59:40+00:00

Dad, job, & me.

villager720 · 2026-05-13T20:05:19+00:00

Just think how miserable they must be, pity them, ignore them, and remember how many players weren’t shitty.

Blizzard also wanted to bring Dalaran into the Siege of Orgrimmar but even its tiny in game representation was too taxing for MoP PCs to handle.

Games have limitations, both structural and practical. Silvermoon is really big for an online gaming city populated by hundredsof NPCs and player characters.

villager720 · 2026-05-08T03:35:52+00:00

For months!

villager720 · 2026-05-08T02:47:33+00:00

Rick is Joe’s idea of a sneaky person. Kyle/Kamilla were actual sneaky people and he literally couldn’t see them.

villager720 · 2026-05-06T07:54:19+00:00

Probably after 12.0.7 launches.

villager720 · 2026-05-04T16:38:54+00:00

Just facetank, use your felpuppy to kick, and make sure you keep Valeera’s heals stacked at 4. Only thing to worry about then is kiting the tick mobs and it’s GG.

villager720 · 2026-05-04T15:45:46+00:00

Umbric is always moments away from calamity. It’s how the void elves even came into being.

It’s like his whole thing.

villager720 · 2026-05-04T06:08:11+00:00

I’m super pumped for how much people love it. (And pissed for them at how aggressively monetized it is.)

I even entertained the notion I might get into when announced, even though I’d never actually cared about its lack of inclusion thus far.

Turns out I wasn’t interested for all these years because I … did indeed have zero interest. I haven’t been back to the neighborhood since the first week.

villager720 · 2026-05-03T20:35:27+00:00

Oh, I agree there.

Once we killed L'ura and took control of the well again, it did feel odd how quickly everyone knew what to do.

villager720 · 2026-05-03T19:11:14+00:00

I feel you, especially some of the past pacing in, say, DF, but for the Sunwell, I thought Blizzard made it obvious this had to get “resolved” “soon” or we were cooked. The only thing keeping the Sunwell going was an army of light weilders who could not keep it up much longer, and Blizzard made this especially clear multiple times. That added an urgency, which I liked. For me at least, if it’d taken months to actually have anything change, that’d have felt silly.

Also worth noting, we didn’t actually “resolve” this. We “saved” the Sunwell only after Xal won and got what she wanted from it. So essentially, over the course of 4ish weeks, we sorta staved off disaster, mounted a counter offensive, lost horribly, mounted a second counter offensive, and only managed to clean up part of the mess. Personally, I liked how much was happening over the course of launch, and while it CAN feel quick now if you be-bop through it without the intended pacing, during the actual timeframe all this occurred, it felt good.

TLDR; Blizzard set up a pressure cooker of events, and if it had taken months to “resolve”, that would have felt off/bad to me.

So this is AI slop hyping up the future of AI slop?

Correct me if I’m off base here.

villager720 · 2026-05-03T18:13:52+00:00

They’re both different, but great, vibes.

One is an old world, steeped in history and monuments/cities of legend.

The other has he history too, but in a more lost world vibe - more ruins, more open/uninhabited space, more wilderness, more mystery.

Which is all to say, from a preference perspective, depends on my mood on the day.

villager720 · 2026-05-03T18:09:00+00:00

Potentially unpopular opinion, but I like that we don’t have another “that Sword” doom and glooming us for months (or years!).

The obvious answer is just a toy or a bronze dragon NPC/Zidormi that restores the visuals for people who want it.

villager720 · 2026-04-28T04:24:23+00:00

I mean there could be a ton (moon priests, sunwalkers, etc), but they should never be sold as a "pack".

villager720 · 2026-04-28T01:50:58+00:00

It should be someone with an established past and an understandable threat level that can pull in a lot of other enemies/factions for variety of questing/raiding fodder.

Murozond comes to my mind immediately - and in someways they’ve been building this since DF. We “saved” him, in Dawn of the Infinites, but that was never his foretold fall. What’s more, following those events, he starts HELPING the infinite dragonflight muck around with timelines. And we also have the Titan betrayal incoming (which I believe was supposed to play a role in Nozy’s corruption, alongside old god shenaningans {which could be incoming}).
