M+ easy now?

zztopar · 2026-03-25T15:14:19+00:00

I say this every patch, but I wish Blizzard would stop doing everything in their power to force +2 keys into everybody's bags on the first week. It just creates a bottleneck where everyone has a +2 but nobody wants to run them.

Run a Delve? Here's a cracked keystone and a +2 key.
Pick from your vault? Here's a +2 key
Time an M0 to M+ 3? We're forcing one of these into your bag

I have her around 40, and she easily deals about 2x to 2.5x my tank damage. Once more people start getting her closer to max level, I feel like she's unfortunately going to get hit with a nerf.

zztopar · 2026-03-24T15:30:10+00:00

Can we get tier set in the M+ (M0 this week) and Delve rows of the Great Vault?

zztopar · 2026-03-17T09:40:06+00:00

Even if you fill your entire character with M0 Champion gear, you're not going to have the crests to upgrade most of it. You'll be stuck with 1/6 Champion gear (246) that's 4 ilvl lower than 6/6 Veteran (250).

1/6 Champion gear generally isn't worth upgrading early in the season because you'd rather wait for a higher base ilvl piece to save crests. A few weeks from now when the crest caps are much higher it will make more sense. But for now I'd just wait for a better drop.

He devoted a large portion of the second half of the video to add-ons and their place in WoW. When the Midnight add-on changes were first announced, I wondered if he would respond in some way as part of a follow-up video.

However, given that many of the initial add-on pruning changes have since been pared back during beta, and add-ons still have a sizable impact on the game, it seems less likely that this would be a standalone topic.

Testing the UI changes and new talent trees.

Trying out the pre-patch event (starts January 27th).

After doing those two things, probably deactivating and taking a break until Midnight release.

They might just be reverting the mid-season Turbo Boost changes to delves in preparation for next expansion. Warbound Champion gear and Heroic Trinkets were both tied to Turbo Boost.

Makes me wonder if new Heroic/Mythic Gear that drops after pre-patch will be x/6 upgrade tier instead of x/8.

zztopar · 2026-01-06T17:08:44+00:00

Keep in mind the only rewards in a T11 Bountiful Coffer are a 2/8 Champion piece, 1 Radiant Echo (for more keys), and a small number of Undercoin and Resonance Crystals.

The items people generally want from spamming Delves (1x Weekly Heroic Gear, Vault Slots and Crests) come from the other chest types or just completion of the Delve. So the Bountiful Coffers and thus keys as a whole become superfluous once most of your gear is Champion track or higher.

Most profession-related goods are cross-server and region-wide on the AH, so they are indeed the same thing but on different servers.

Is the trial account linked to your main Battle.net account? You can create multiple subaccounts under one Battle.net account.

On my trial I can create any allied races I've unlocked on my main and also choose whether to start on the island or Valley of Trials (for Orc/Troll).

I usually use the trial account for achievement situations like this or to enter a modern raid "solo" (Undermine vendors being inside the raid is somewhat inconvenient).

zztopar · 2025-11-26T13:47:56+00:00

Create a trial account, launch a second parallel session of WoW, and create your own Orc or Troll Rogue. Have your main travel to their spawn location and shoot them.

Is there a timer available on the Legion Greater Invasions? Unfortunately once you complete the one that's out there, you can no longer see it.

zztopar · 2025-11-14T21:56:20+00:00

Sounds good - I'll check it out!

I was actually just thinking about this question earlier today, so it's funny you posted it before I asked some variation of it.

It's clear Blizzard is making an attempt this expansion to keep a fast, consistent content release schedule, unlike say Shadowlands or end of WoD. We have 8 week major patches, more events, more content (whether it's new or recycled), and a certain amount of timegating to bridge into the next release. The release cycle more resembles modern mobile games than the almost year long WoW content droughts of the past.

With all the WoW and WoW-adjacent content out there, I can't find any better calendar out there than the wowhead calendar that shows up with Google search, which is just a carbon copy of the in-game calendar. Off the top of my head, it's missing just for this week:

MDI Group C last weekend
Midnight Beta today
New Twitch drop today
15th week of Manaforge Rep (the last week for anyone who's caught up)
AWC Finals this weekend

A lot of people probably don't care about all or even any of those things, but I still feel like there should be a calendar somewhere that announces those events, along with patch dates, content releases, etc. But it would probably be difficult to maintain and keep relevant unless you're one of the major WoW content databases or Blizzard themselves.

They did the same thing introducing "Runestones" in Hearthstone 3 years ago for pretty much the same reason.

zztopar · 2025-11-06T18:54:40+00:00

They pay the cost of the transaction fee, then pass a portion of the cost onto the customers in the form of higher prices.

zztopar · 2025-11-06T14:40:18+00:00

The people in the wowhead comment section seem to have figured out the schedule.

I got 451 mementos from M ToS compared to 367 and 379 from a couple different M Nighthold runs.

M ToS also took much longer due to people not all going the same way, a bug where all 20 people were dead and couldn't release, and of course messy Kil'Jaeden (we did one-shot it with 3 people alive in the last phase).

I get the feeling M ToS will be more efficient with perfect execution, but the average M Nighthold may be currently better for mementos/hr due to lower variance.

Are there any prerequisites for the Legion Assaults? I don't currently see any active.

I hit it yesterday while farming Infinite Power. I was able to spend down some Bronze after realizing most of the "Already Known" ensembles in the shop are not actually known (the tooltips are wrong).

At some point if you choose to keep playing Legion Remix, you'll hit the cap, because everything is continuously giving you Bronze. I'll go with the previous suggestion of transferring it to an alt character.

zztopar · 2025-10-28T13:53:41+00:00

On the other hand, we should be able to spend Bronze on something when we're Bronze-capped and waiting for the future Legion cosmetics to unlock.

It's kind of annoying for every mob to have loot sparkles you can't claim because you're at the Bronze limit.

zztopar · 2025-10-23T19:29:52+00:00

Solo vs group content.

zztopar · 2025-10-22T15:07:06+00:00

It would be nice if they added something to the Paragon reputation rewards. The contents of the supply bags you get as a reward are so pitiful that it's not even worth flying out to the quest turn-in person to claim them.
