Ren -
Did transmog count, found out only had 17% of mail transmogs
Kind of Argussed out
Running WoW off new SSD .. makes an enormous difference
Mike -
Still having problems with XT achievement. One day we get to 18, the next, 0
I got a pony!
I lost 700 achievement points, probably due to rearranging the achivements.
Mournful Moan of Murmur is now up and running after TWO YEARS of being broken.
I have not yet tried to level a toon yet.
The price of Celendras dropped like a rock. From 750k to 50k.
When you go into Ulduar, it’s now 10-man no matter what you set raid to.
It took forever to kill Galleon and Sha of Anger.
Zone quests are now gauged by chapters, not numbers of quests completed.
I was mailed all the new mats.
This Week in WoW
Pet Battle Event
Call of the Scarab - Jan 21-23
Patch 7.3.5
Patch notes: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21365423
Undocumented patch notes
Known issues:
Mobile/web AH disabled
Dungeon boss HP levels reversed Normal vs. Heroic
Raid boss difficulty - difficulty turned up for Warlords/Pandaria raids to put in line with leveling characters but overtuned them
Pet names disappearing
New backpack slots not showing up right away for new authenticators
Last wing of Argus LFR was bugged - if you wipe you can’t get back in
Redridge quest Saving Foreman Oslow not working
Patch 7.3.5: Leveling
The leveling experience: uneven reviews
Journey vs destination
Ren’s personal experiences doing N&A and feedback from the N&A participants
Professions: 1-60 profession progression still klunky
Still have old gathers (copper ore, thorium ore, peacebloom, goldthorn) tied to former zones
Level gains from herb/ore gathers still about the same as it was - about 1.7% of total level XP per gather for lower level gathers (reduces over time - was down slightly below 1% at level 63)
Leather/cloth gathers still tied to former zones (eg. leather experiment in Azeroth, cloth in BC/WOTLK)
Mobs and equipment scale to the toon, but profession drops still scale to the zone
Pro: You can still do predictable lower level farming
Con: Leveling might be a freedom of choice experience, but leveling professions is not -- still tied to old zone definitions
Solution: Flatten mats to three tiers -- levels 1-20, 20-40 and 40-60.
Enchanting squish did not go far enough, may have skipped guild banks entirely
Naked & Afraid 2018
Ren is level 19 in N&A - not highest toon but has the most gold (Maxx, gnome outlaw rogue, is level 30 with 9 hours /played)
Started Wednesday, 1/17 - join in anytime
3 official servers but you don’t have to join
Lots of minor rule clarifications, one major change
Almost 30 official participants so far
Shout out to MythGamingMN for streaming his N&A.
